Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 170

The voice of the one who let out the entrails at blind dawn was so loud it sounded. Alfin frowned in his sleep, deliberately patting the empty spot on his side looking for the wife. The frown on a man's forehead is more noticeable when it touches nothing and just empty space.

"Yes!" He called, but there was no word. The voice of someone who finished the stomach contents was still occasionally heard.

Alfin opened his eyes, and immediately realized who the owner of the voice was. He rushed up and went into the bathroom.

"Humairah!" Alfin bursts in and helps Naina by giving a gentle massage to her nape.

"Where is it good?" alfin asked as Naina's hand stopped her massage.

The woman nodded while holding onto the sink. Taking short breaths, unraveling the pain that whacks the throat.

"Darling?" Alfin called out anxiously, touching Naina's shoulder while tilting her head to be able to see the wife's face.

"Oh God!" He pulled Naina's body into the hold, not feeling like seeing that pale face. The limp Naina, drooping in her husband's arms. He was struggling with the nausea that whipped.

"Are you really all right?" alfin whispered in Naina's ear.

"Nice, Mom." Naina replied softly and shook. Looping both hands around her husband's waist in search of comfort.

Alfin lifted the body and brought it back to the bed. Lay it down carefully and attentively. Alfin sat on the edge of the bed, gently rubbing Naina's stomach while reciting the holy verses of the Qur'an.

"Where now?" Alfie asked again.

Naina nodded her head without opening her eyes.

"Mending, Mom." He said shrewdly. The intense nausea slowly goes away and changes with comfort.

The morning prayer rang, Alfin quickly moved and helped Naina as well. The two worshiped two raka'at in their room.

"Are you sure you want to cook? Not sick or sick?" Alfin followed behind his wife down the stairs to the first floor of the house and into the kitchen.

"Honey, let's get Auntie cooking, yeah. As long as you're like gini again, you'll have to squeak your spices nausea again," Alfin continued to follow Naina did not want her to experience nausea again.

"Yes, Son. Umi heard you were vomiting in the room. It's okay, let Auntie cook. Your doctor says you have a lot of rest" Aminah said from the first floor of the house.

"But, Umi-"

"Udah has Salma helping Auntie. Sit down, do not work hard. Don't be so tired." Aminah pulls Naina's hand and takes her to sit on the terrace enjoying the cool morning air.

There was Ahmad there who was enjoying a cup of warm tea. Alfin smiled, sitting down near his wife.

"Mas, just sit here." Naina is not happy to see it.

"Here we go, we want to be close to our children." Alfin kissed Naina's flat stomach without hesitation.

While the woman held the shame half-dead until both her cheeks blushed red.

"Same um Abi comes in first. Want to get ready to go to study," said Aminah while inviting Ahmad to go inside leaving them both.

Naina got down from the chair, sat on the terrace floor with her husband.

"What do you want to eat? Usually young pregnant people like to suddenly want to eat what it is," asked Alfin a little surprised because Naina was not much in demand as her friends said in the store.

Naina thought, but it was normal. Whatever he eats is what he eats.

"Nothing, anyway, Mas. Hmmm .. but may be, deh, later if you are careful buying gujak guava which is near the store. It was eaten in the afternoon like a very fast." His saliva gathered imagining the food was in front of his eyes.

Alfin helps his employees transport goods to a car parked in front of the shop yard.

"Udah, Boss. Just sit down, we're together, "they asked Alfin not to help.

However, the man indifferently continued to commute back and forth transporting the items on his shoulders until it was finished.

"It's done." Alfin sat in front of the shop shaking his hands, relieving heat and sweat.

A car stopped in front of the store. The car Alfin was familiar with. Two little boys came out and stormed the man.

"Of!"

"Lho, where are you going? How come it's here?" alfin asked as he rubbed their heads.

"Assynnya!" Khadijah and her husband also appeared, coming to where Alfin was sitting.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam, Brother!" The man moved, touching both of them.

"The building materials here are of good quality." Khadijah looked into the contents of the shop.

"Well, you can see for yourself inside. Choose yourself, I will take you home" said Alfin again sitting on the bench because he was tired.

"Drink, Boss!" An employee gave Alfin a bottle of water.

Khadijah smiled at that, his youngest brother could no longer dodge.

"So, you're the boss here?" tanyanya.

"No, Brother. Yusuf and Hamka, I only come here once in a while." Alfin was still in favor, but Khadijah's gaze seemed to be flaying the secret he had been craving all along.

Alfin gulped, scratching his head that did not itch the wrong behavior. Not running out of ideas, Khadijah called one of Alfin's employees who helped her husband choose building materials.

"I want to see your boss in person? Is he here?" pinta Khadijah made Alfin's breath immediately choked in his throat.

"This is our boss, Mom. Please!" he said while pointing at Alfin politely.

The woman's lips formed a perfect circle, then thanked and continued to tease Alfin.

"Now what else to say? He said you were the boss. Why, anyway, is it still bad? This brother is your brother, use all secrets." Khadijah patted Alfin's shoulder with anxiety.

Somehow what else? Had he kept a secret, eventually everyone would know who Alfin was.

"Where's Naina? Not filled yet?" khadijah asked after landing his buttocks on the side seat of Alfin's chair.

The man glanced at the stomach of the older brother who had grown. Smiling remembering in a moment he would see that to his wife.

"Alhamdulillah, Brother. We temporarily stayed at the Umi house, because the children's dormitory was used by the travelers. Thank God Naina is pregnant, sister. It's only been three weeks" replied Alfin timidly.

"Alhamdulillah! Tokcer is also my brother. Maa shay Allah! Cepet it's gonna be, great." Khadijah banged proudly on Alfin's arm.

I don't know, he always felt anxious when he was close to his youngest brother. A sister who was once away from home, a sister who was once lost from sight. Now it appears to be a family pride.
