Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 50


In a restaurant, a group of children and two adults sit down while enjoying their evening meal. The event continued into the night, to visit the night market in the area.


The happiness of their hearts is clearly visible on those tiny faces, smiles, laughter, and never-ending babbling of children. Filling a row of long tables specially ordered by Alfin for them.


"Dad, are we going on vacation? I think we haven't been on vacation in a long time" asked one of the biggest children among them.


Naina was stunned to hear it, asking inwardly whether these children were on vacation often? He glanced at Alfin who was smiling in response, he was truly the figure of a good father and became the role model of all his foster children.


"Where are you going on vacation? You guys decide where you're going? Just think about it later," said Alfin as he bribed his food into his mouth.


They discussed, Naina glanced. He smiled at the familiarity of all the children. There is no difference between them, everyone can express an opinion. The various vacation spots they mention.


"Did they always like that?" naina whispered slightly leaning her body towards Alfin.


The man nodded with a smile looking at his children.


"Well, they're always like that. You will soon see what places they want to go" Alfin replied, whispering a little to Naina.


They are wonderful children, the small will obey the big, and the big will love the small. Reprimanding when wrong while advising each other.


"Udah, Dad!" the biggest kid.


"Which place do you want to go?" alfin asked as he folded his hands on the table.


"Because the Little One wants to see the palace, others want to race, there are also those who want to play water. We decided to go to the beach! Where the Little One can make and see the palace, others can race and ride the rides as well as play water. So Dad, when are we going?" said the Eldest without thinking of himself.


Naina was amazed at all her brothers thought of. He looked at the others, to all the children nodding in agreement.


"alright. The weather is good too. Which beach would you like to visit!" alfin asked after hearing their wishes.


"Where, Dad. The important thing is that we can play" he said with confidence.


Alfin nodded his head in agreement, he had already determined where to take them on vacation. This weekend is the perfect time to clear their minds after six days of wrestling with school.


"Is Mom coming too?" halwa asked on the sidelines of their excitement.


Naina smiled as she rubbed her head, shaking her head as it was impossible to be in one sphere with Alfin even though they were all there.


"I guess Mom still can't come. You guys go first, yeah. Later klo it's time, Mother must come," said Naina softly.


They lowered their shoulders sadly, Alfin himself wanted Naina to come along.


"It's okay, come along. Ustadz Hasan and his family used to come too. You can nenemin his wife all learn with him about what you want to know," said Alfin published a smile on their lips all.


Naina never knew about it, she thought they just went together without the ustadz.


The girl finally nodded, agreeing to come along. They cheered happily, happy that they finally had a complete parent even if it was just a foster parent.


The event continued to play in the night market according to the wishes of the children. Various kinds of rides they rode with cheerful hearts. Makes Naina completely forget her bitter life story. He laughed, rejoiced, joked with them. Under the watchful eye of Alfin.


The young man smiled, his heart touched. Naina is quickly familiar with her foster children. Not like most of the women he met. Those who do not have sincerity will not be able to win the hearts of these children.


Before returning, they escorted Naina first. To make sure the girl had arrived home safely. A pleasant night, Naina's heart felt peaceful.

The morning was sunny, but not as bright as Naina who had to stop working so that the usual morning rush was done, now there was no more. Sitting pensively alone, while staring at the buyers who began to queue.


He rolled on a chair, facing the dull-looking ceiling of the house. Sighs, feels bored if it does not work as it is today.


"Boss much. Why, huh?" chirps alone. He rolled back, facing the window. Look at every buyer's face as good as Aunt's.


"You go to the mosque embarrassed, the time to get there is mulu. What will people say." He complained, propping up his chin on two stacked hands.


"Don't daydream, mending went to the greengrocer take Bibi's order," Sumiyati said, accidentally glancing at Naina from the window.


A little relieved of the boredom in the girl's heart, he hastened down from the chair and walked out excitedly. Received the money from the woman and left with a smile.


Some neighbors greeted, some also praised Naina for deciding to close her aura. Partly seductive, like most people in the villages.


"Nak Naina doesn't work anymore, does she? Why?" ask the owner of the vegetable stall when Naina gets there.


"No, Ma. Nothing, just not the same heart. If anyone wants to work, it can replace Nai there, Mom," replied Naina while taking a pack of pegs sold with vegetables.


"Oh, yes. Coincidentally his son's neighbor Mother wants to work. Can you, yeah, get in there?" said the owner of the stall while wrapping up Aunt Naina's order.


"Oh, can, Mom. Try to get the files there. Must need that employee, ma'am. You're only a few employees," said Naina gave a pack of pegs to put together with Bibi's groceries.


"Yes, I'll tell you later. It's his aunt, the love mom's peek for free. Bonus for prospective ghosts," joked the shop owner's mother with a laugh.


"It can be, Mother. Thanks, Mom. Nai said goodbye first," said Naina received the package and passed home.


He put the groceries on Aunt's desk, and helped Auntie serve the buyers. Finally, he also left bored from his heart. Helping Aunt who was busy serving the buyers, Naina looked delighted.


"Ashik also if many who buy kayak gini. Especially if you see the queue until long. If you are alone, Bibi must be overwhelmed by her service," said Naina while wrapping the buyer's order.


"Well, Aunt is normal. Before there was you too, I always thought so. Especially if the rainy season, beuh ... queue," said Bibi with a smile.


Naina glanced, seeing how deftly Auntie's hand was chopping vegetables. He smiled, grateful that the two middle-aged people loved him very much.
