"Naaina? You're Naina, right?" reprimand a man with a mocking tone.
The woman who was playing the phone turned her head with a frown. Then smiled sweetly, welcoming her greeting.
"Yes, why? You still know me?" naina asked casually even though it was obvious the man was looking down on her.
"Well, I almost didn't recognize it, anyway. Because you're wearing a veil now. By the way say you're here .. ooo."
Naina was beaming while the male's lips formed a perfect circle.
"I know, you'd want to check your content, right? Hhmm ... Who, yes, his father? I'm sure you don't know who the father of the child in your womb is, right? Hmm .. pity, her mother is not really the same child." He flicked his lips mocking Naina.
Pissed off? Getting angry? Of course, but Alfin's words that would protect him ring in the ears. Making Naina able to maintain her calm attitude.
"Whatever you want to say. You think you can provoke me? No, yeah. Sorry!" Naina glared as she flicked her hand, returned to playing the phone trying not to be provoked.
Oh, mother .. lend me your strength. The truth in the heart.
The man growled furiously, clenching both hands in annoyance. Cussing inwardly for not being able to provoke Naina at all, which she had her own emotions.
"Honey. Why, anyway? Who else is this woman? You know him?" The voice of a flirtatious woman crackled with spoiled. Glancing at Naina was displeased, but the woman was indifferent.
"Oh, know, dong. You know who he is? She's the girl I've been telling you about. The bastard, his father, is not clear who. Still pregnant don't know who the father is." She glanced sharply at Naina, but Alfin's wife did not heed her taunts.
Naina sighed softly, trying to remain calm.
Fasting, Nai. Fasting. Fasting of the heart from anger, fasting the mouth from chiding. Shut up, remember your silent husband's word it's the right answer to silence those who talk a lot.
Again Alfin's sentence became a tranquilizer. Making Naina sure what to do.
"Oh, so this is the girl. He was good too, yes. Pake the big veil is like ustadzah-ustadzah aja. Not to mention, hamidun no longer clear his father-"
"Who doesn't know his father?" jutted Alfin happened to arrive there. He was with Ahmad and Aminah who also deliberately came to the hospital. Naina lowered her head, smiling in relief.
The two men turned their heads, looking at Alfin with a frown on his forehead. With him Ahamd and Aminah stared intently at the two men.
"Who are you? Looks like you're a good person, there's no way you're the husband of this bitch, right?" The man smiled mockingly.
Plaque!
Plaque!
Twice the slap landed very hard on both cheeks of the man. He grimaced, a red liquid seeping from one corner of his lips. Alfin smiled mockingly, wordlessly approaching Naina who was still sitting in her chair.
"Al-khabiitsaatu lil-khabiitsiina wal-khabiitsuuna lil-khabiitsaati. Vile women are for vile men, and vile men are for vile women (after all)," alfin's circus recited a single piece of Quranic verse while throwing a sharp glare at the man.*
He extended his hand to Naina, and lifted her up to get out of the chair. Linking their fingers showed that the woman he had married had someone ready to stand in front to protect her.
"Allah must keep you from this holy woman, for your unawakeable nature and speech prove that you are not fit for any good woman. Every speech you will meet his responsibility in the afterlife, even you can see it directly in this world." Alfin smiled, deploring their arrogant attitude.
The man grimaced while holding his cheek. Furious, but unable to do anything to fight back.
"Come, Humairah. There's a lot of dust here that can dirty your holy clothes." Alfin invites Naina away, changing seats.
The woman smiled, following in her husband's footsteps without glancing at the man who had sneered at her. He clasped Alfin's arm, feeling safe there.
Both of them were unable to speak. Pissed off? For sure. Getting angry? Obviously, he was very angry.
"Why are you trying? They were mocking us earlier," whined the woman with him while stomping her feet on the floor.
The man clucked, shook his hand and turned around and left the hospital, bringing his defeat.
"Darling! Waitaminute! Kok, I'm left out, anyway!" He quickly caught up, his lip that was polished lipstick as red as chili frowned forward.

"Mas, thank you, yeah. Mas dateng on time. I don't know if I can survive if Mas comes later" Naina said, dropping her head on Alfin's shoulder.
The man embraces his shoulders, peppering his tubers affectionately.
"No need to think about it, later it can interfere with your content. Just think of our son." Alfin rubbed his smiling wife's shoulder to strengthen his heart.
"Yes, Son. What I thought was nothing to think about. They're just people who are underworked and like to find trouble." Aminah chimed in while holding Naina's hand.
He broke away from Alfin and hugged the old woman.
"Yes, Umi. Thank you," said Naina bitterly.
His voice trembled because of the haru that filled his heart. There are many people who care and love him. He was no longer alone, no longer needed to bear his own pain.
"Naina's mother!"
The nuns call ended their lives.
"Come, comein!" Alfin went first, Naina greeted with joy. Both of them entered the room to conduct an examination.
"Still young, yeah. Just three weeks old Mom. Do not often do heavy work first, get enough rest and try not to stress," said the obstetrician while smiling kindly.
"Thank you, Doctor." Alfin enthusiastically replied.
"This is a vitamin that you should drink regularly. Can be redeemed at the pharmacy, yes. Please!"
Alfin took the paper and thanked him. Then, move in with Naina leaving the examination room.
"Where?" Aminah snatched excitedly.
"New three Weeks, Mi. God is healthy" replied Alfin.
"Alhamdulillah." Aminah glanced at Ahmad, her husband nodding his head gratefully.
Alfin went to the pharmacy, while Naina followed Aminah and Ahmad out. With hearts filled with happiness, they returned home in a state of gratitude.
Alfin links the fingers, kissing Naina's back lovingly.
Thank you, Mother, for taking care of Naina all this time. I've taught Naina patience, I also taught Naina to be sincere. May you have the best place on God's side. Aamiins.
