Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 49

Tiwi was still sitting there until darkness came in place of noon. Staring at the ripples of water that were enveloped in darkness. The lights on the boat float, moving when someone is riding them. Also the lights of the garden are not illuminating enough.

He sighed, thinking about Naina's words. Tiwi moved, turned around and slowly approached her car parked by the lake. Sitting while holding the steering wheel.

"You Naina can, why can't I? Bismilbornrahmanirrahim, I can!" Tiwi cheered herself on. Both of his eyes exuded a strong determination. That night he would talk to his parents about honesty.

Tiwi runs her car home, with a passionate smile on her face as Naina's words burrow in her ears. That is the friend of Fillaah, reminding each other in terms of kindness. Strengthening each other when weak, pushing each other to continue to form a straight person.

Shodiiquka man abkaka laa man. Your friend is the one who makes you cry, not the one who makes you laugh. A friend is not he who comes when a lot of debt, and goes nowhere when happy.

Tiwi readied her heart to talk with the two middle-aged in her house especially the man. He stopped the car in the yard, gave the gatekeeper a key to put it in the garage.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" he said with a more cheerful and joyful tone. Tiwi swung a step into the house, looking around for her parents.

"Mah! Whah! Over where? I want to talk to you guys," exclaimed Tiwi, louder her voice to be heard by her parents.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam!"

Both of his parents appeared from behind.

Their facial expressions are different. The papah looks ordinary, but the woman with him looks sad. His old eyes were dewy, wanting to cry.

Tiwi aka Nadia approached the two, greeting them respectfully.

"What did you say? It seems so important" asked the papah as he followed Nadia to the living room where they had just been chatting together.

"Tonight Mamah same Papah should terrorize me." Tiwi started her intention.

"What's wrong? So Papah wants to talk to you too. This is about Alfin," said papah Tiwi while looking at the two women who were with him.

"What is that, Pah? Mom, you don't know. From now on we talked, but Papah did not say anything," said the wife looking suspiciously at her husband.

Ustadz Ghofur sighed, he had no intention of talking about it with his wife.

"Well, because Papah wants both of you to be horrified. That's it," he said, fearing that his wife would refuse as firmly as she had.

"She's already found out about Alfin. The news that he has a matrial shop is true, and do you know? The biggest shop in the city, which was much cheaper, belonged to Alfin. Yeah, it's Alfin's. Papah is planning to continue your arranged marriage" Ustadz Ghofur said with a face of sumringah.

He was eager to convey this to them, hoping that the two would welcome him with joy. However, what happened, his wife and son looked unhappy. Looking strangely at him.

"Enough, Pah! Don't set me up again. Alfin wants to marry my best friend. There's no way I'm calling him under the pretext of matchmaking. I don't want to ruin my friendship. I don't want to, Pah," Tiwi refused in a firm and bold tone.

The man clucked, unhappy with the reaction of the two.

"They're not married yet, are they? So, you can still make Alfin nerima this match. Papah surein your life is guaranteed if married to him. What he wants he can love. Believe the same Papah," he said fiery.

Tiwi's mother didn't know what to advise her husband. The more here the figure is further away from religion, not even reflecting a preacher. One who often gives advice not only to one or two people, but thousands of people who are in all corners of the country.

"No, Pah. I don't want to destroy the happiness of others just to make myself happy. Nope! I'm sick of all these lies, Pah. I want to be honest with Fahmi if I do not study in Egypt, I want to be honest with him about everything, Pah," Tiwi refused again firmly.

His mother smilingly agreed to hear that, supporting Tiwi's decision to be honest with Fahmi.

"That's great, son. That's right, why lie that in the end just torture yourself. It is better to be honest, which will make our hearts calm. Tell the truth, even if it is bitter. My mother supports you, son. Very supportive," said the mother firmly while staring at the brightly glowing Tiwi bead.

"What are you doing, anyway? Papah just wants the best for you, Nadia. Alfin is an established, rich man, will not run out of the money he has. Don't want to live well, a lot of money, without having to work. Quite quiet at home waiting for the arrival of the husband. You don't want to be like that?" said disappointed.

He looked at his son closely, affirming through the eyes that what he said was true.

"You tell Fahmi, it's the same as embarrassing Papah. Do you want your Papah to be people's gossip? So the ingredients of their talk, so the banter of them all? You want that? Not necessarily the Fahmi will accept you. There you will lose everything. Missing an opportunity for you to be part of that distinguished family. Hear it!" it's more about prestige than family.

"Father selfish, honestly it won't embarrass Papah. That's a good step to take, rather than constantly lying. Mamah agreed with Nadia to tell them the truth. Mamah will support him, Pah," said the wife who contradicted his wishes.

The man growled, his clenched hand trembled, looking down to avoid the wife's gaze. It could have been that the table in front of them was split apart when he smacked his hand on that thing.

"Some, Pah. Not necessarily Alfin would accept it. Papah was not horrified, they wanted to marry. Do not force Papah's desire. Awake, Sir. Papah has blinded the world to forget where Papah walked. Every day preach to give advice to everyone, but forget to give advice to yourself. Stop preaching, Pah. If Papah's attitude is still like this. Shame on God, Pa. Oh God!" She wept, regretting her husband's increasingly distant attitude with God.

Tiwi was touched, she approached the woman while hugging her. She was indeed a good woman, a perfect example for a wife. Tiwi will fix themselves, imitating the attitude of the mama will also listen more to his advice.

"Whatever!" The man got up quickly, left the family room that had always felt warm. Leaving two crying women hugging and strengthening each other.
