Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 40

Red, green, blue, orange, and purple, spreading across the sky creates a wonderful sight to enjoy. Invite all beings to rise again, leave the dreamland, and welcome the arrival of morning. The light of the morning sun gives hope to every heart.

The girl in long pajamas woke up from her sleep. Last night he could not close his eyes until late because of the warmth of the family of the future husband.

Naina sat on the bed lazily, scratching her non-itchy head and almost lying back down. If only Aunt's screams weren't heard right away.

"Nai! There's Alfin's son to pick you up."

Naina jumped up, her eyes constantly widening together with her two lips opened.

"A-alfin?" panicked muttering.

He confirmed his messy hair, rolled it up and then tied it with rubber. Rush out until the veil that draped in the front seat of the dressing table he forgot.

"Astaghfirullah al-adhiim!" Naina who almost reached the door, turned her body because she remembered the cloth covering her head that was left behind.

Approaching the dresser again, grab the object and put it on quickly. With wide steps, Naina opened the door and exited.

His heart was already abnormal now, when he turned around, it was immediately greeted by the smile of the man. Naina's breath hunts down heavily, tight. He did not return the smile of the future husband, but ran back to the back.

"Auntie, why don't you wake up Nai?" his grunts while closing the bathroom door and performing his morning ritual.

"Auntie is awake, but you don't want to wake up. Kayak last night did not sleep," said Bibi while lifting fried foods from the frying pan.

Naina let out a little head, looking around for the figure of the aunt.

"Auntie!" call him like a whisper.

The woman turned her head, asking through the eyes.

"Look Alfin to come out for a second. Nai forgot to bring a change of clothes," he said.

Sumiyati shook her head, shrinking the stove fire before meeting Alfin who was sitting a henchman in the living room.

"Son Alfin, sorry. Nai said, can you wait outside first? The boy forgot to bring a change of clothes, "tell the young man's aunt.

He moved without asking, sitting on the porch behind his back. Aunt sighed, went back to tell Naina.

With quick steps, the girl broke through the living room and entered the room. Got a monthly leave allowance (haid), making him laze. As fast as lightning, as fast as she could, Naina was courting herself. I don't want that man to wait too long.

"Breakfast first, Nai. This is with Alfin. I'm Aunty ready" said Bibi when she saw Naina out of the room.

The girl grimaced, looking at the food lying on the living room table. He put the bag on the chair, approached Alfin to take him for breakfast together.

"Auntie is ready for breakfast. Eat first, yuk!"

Alfin did not refuse, got out of the chair and went inside following Naina. They sat opposite each other, without waiting and wondering if they had eaten breakfast.

"Nai, you stop working from there. I'm not comfortable with your boss. It looks like he is not good" Alfin asked as the two were on the bike about to go to work.

Naina is stunned, thinking who will help meet the needs of the house if she stops. Naina would not have the heart to let her uncle work harder to meet her needs as well as her household.

Alfin thought hard, looking for a way for Naina to quit her job at the store. It is difficult for him because he is not yet a wife.

"When we get married, maybe I won't work anymore. At home just wait for you to go home while helping aunty sell seblak," said Naina in accordance with Alfin's thoughts.

The young man met, his heart warmed to hear Naina say so. If finding a job is easy for High School graduates only, it may be better to find another job.

However, just like in Jakarta, finding a job is difficult if only armed with a high school diploma. Except having an acquaintance at work.

"It's just another month we're getting married, Nai. Tomorrow month let me pay your salary. I don't want to until you're okay. Can you, yeah, you're resigning?" alfin.

Unfortunately, Naina is not a girl who likes to raise her hand to receive money without working first. He smiled, shaking his head slowly.

"That's called eating blind pay. I get paid, but I don't work" Naina said with a big smile.

Alfin sighed, she was a different type of girl to the other girls. When others only know to look up to their parents, or to their lovers, Naina prefers to work hard to meet her needs.

"Who said? You can help me at the mosque. Ngajarin njai children, ngurusin dormitory. We are not both, really. There was ustadz Hasan who lived in the mosque every day, except for the night, he would return home. How's it?" cetus Alfin was not out of his mind.

Naina is back in tears, knowing Alfin is trying to keep her away from the manager. Lately the man was even more aggressive and often looked at him wildly. Perhaps what Alfin has to offer is better than having to endure the constant haunting fear.

"Where, Nai? Want to, yeah, you quit that store?" pinta Alfin again made sure.

"Who is the salary in the mosque? I don't want to accept that it's children's money because just as I eat the rights of orphans," said Naina to ensure the finances promised Alfin.

The young man smiled, naina was finally able to understand what she wanted.

"You don't have to worry, we have the boss of the Most Rich. HE who will pay us while working in His house with a sincere heart. Taking care of his children, making sure their stomachs are awake, as well as their education. How's it? Are you not interested?" alfin meant it.

The Most Rich?

"Who is the boss of the Most Rich, Alfin? What if His wealth is more than the wealth of the richest kings of the world?" cetus Naina while frowning.

Alfin chuckled at hearing that. He tells Naina who he means.

"That is for sure.HIS wealth will not run out until the apocalypse, even daily distributed to all beings on this earth. Humans, animals, plants, even supernatural beings named Jinn DIA share, but his wealth will still never run out. You understand?" alfin said confidently and surely.

Naina was stunned, this was no longer a worldly matter. More to monotheism, belief in God. Can Naina live it? He is just a fool who is still on the path of truth. Seeking a handle on life to survive in this mortal world.

"I tried," broke up Naina in the end.

Well, he's got to try.

"I mean, Nai. You don't have to worry about sustenance. If your workplace only brings harm to you, mending out. Don't be afraid that you won't get a job. Allah will not allow His servants to be lost without sustenance. Rest assured, the sustenance of *min haitsu laa yahtasib is real. He came unexpectedly, even the promise of God, the beast even though it already has a measure of its provision. You know, don't you, now?" alfin changed Naina's mind.

The girl smiled, nodding in understanding. He just had nothing to fear of losing hope of life. As a matter of fact, man needs to have faith in his God. Allah is in the prejudice of His servant.
