Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 53

In the afternoon at Sumiyati's house, the chattering of two women in the living room slightly comforted her old heart. Two bowls of seblak were served to them, the end he said. The shop closed early because it had to prepare to go with Asep after the Maghrib.

He smiled at Naina who was so familiar with Alfin's sister. Khadijah seems to love Naina and the girl respects her.

"When do you want to start work?" ask Khadijah.

"don't know. Tomorrow, how? I'm bored at home, sister," replied Naina complaining.

"Can. Later I will pick you up tomorrow morning," said Khadijah.

Naina nodded excitedly, continuing to eat the remaining seblak.

Outside an adult male enters the terrace of Sumiyati's house. The open door of the house makes it able to see the contents inside. He was stunned to see Alfin's brother there sitting with Naina.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" sapanya jerks at Naina who has just bribed seblak.

Uhuk-uhuk!

He ran to the kitchen, poured water into a glass and downed it. Choking was so surprised to hear the voice of the former superior.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam!"

Khadija got up, walked up to him in the doorway. He looked at Naina's superior closely.

"What's up, huh?" khadijah asked, not happy to see his arrival.

"I'm going to see Naina. There are things I have to talk to him about" Anton said, not liking Khadijah.

"Job problems? I don't think it's necessary, Naina has decided to quit the store. He even worked elsewhere. So, I hope you don't make Naina work at your place anymore." Khadijah.

"I know, but I still want to see Naina." Anton keukeuh on his goal coming.

The two pairs of eyes were staring at each other, hearing the story of his parents Khadijah was not willing to bring them together.

"What else is it, sir?" Naina's voice followed later. He came out of the kitchen without a smile.

The pain still felt as if it had just happened. Oral can forgive, but the heart and mind are hard to forget. Naina realizes one thing after the incident, she understands the attitude of Seira who once refused her mother's apology.

"Naaina. I want you back to work at the store, we're short on people, Nai. Want to, yes," said Anton.

Khadija reacted, even though he had been given an explanation still insistent on asking Naina to work.

"Sorry, Sir. My niece will never work there again. Been well, sir. Naina has decided to stop working. He also got a new job. Please, don't bother my nephew anymore" Sumiyati said, appearing before Anton.

The man sighed, three people against one he would not win the debate. He had to give up and stop chasing after Naina.

"Alright, I'm sorry for forcing Naina. I promise I won't bother Naina again. Excuse me, assalamualaikum!" anton at the end.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam!" tell the three of them simultaneously.

Anton passed again having to swallow the bitter taste of disappointment. He will no longer come to disturb the girl, and start a new life.

"So, Brother is also home, yes. Tomorrow I'll pick you up" said Khadijah after making sure the man was really gone.

Naina hugged the aunt who had defended her. Sumiyati also felt pain hearing Naina's story about her superior. Luckily, Naina decided to stop, she immediately agreed.

The awaited tomorrow also arrived, Naina eagerly ushered Khadijah to the boutique she meant. Naina worked painstakingly on her first day, introducing the first one had even impressed the owner towards her. All day long watching the girl work, she loved it.

Naina has been working for three days under the supervision of the boutique owner. Slowly start to be trusted and gain sympathy. That day there is an order that must be delivered, while the employee in charge of delivering the order is carrying out his duties.

"Naaina!" call the owner of a boutique commonly called umi.

"Yes, Mi. Me!" naina's voice is lightning fast.

"Can you help me?" pinta the master while smiling expectantly.

"What help, Mi? If I can, I will help" replied Naina with certainty.

The woman of Khadijah's age smiled, stroking Naina's head gently.

"There are orders that have forgotten to be brought earlier, while the order is requested to be delivered today as well. You can, yeah, take her home?" the woman asks Naina.

"Mmm .. but I don't know the area here, Umi. I am new and have never been anywhere" said Naina worried about getting lost because she had not memorized the path properly. It's afternoon anyway.

"There's an address, really. I'll give you the same phone number. You can ask him to share the location if he is afraid of getting lost," suggested the employer who was forced to be adopted by Naina.

"Yes, Mi. I'm ready first" said Naina as she turned around and headed to the locker room to pick up her bag and cell phone. He returned to the front, receiving a package of clothes.

"You be careful, yeah. If there's anything, call me." He patted Naina's hand while praying for her to be safe until her destination and to come back home again.

"Yes, Mi." Naina nodded.

"This is the key, use the motor in the garage. That matic, yes," he said, giving Naina the keys to the bike.

With a heavy heart received the girl, and passed away going towards the boutique garage. The closer the motor, the more heart pounding Naina until her heartbeat makes chest cavity tightness.

"Oh my God, why is this? Kok, my chest is really tight," muttered Naina while holding her chest that continues to hammer.

"Swimming, Nai. Don't be nervous, this might be your first assignment from Umi. Don't disappoint him." He encouraged himself.

Put the order plastic in the motor cantolan, while turning on the engine.

"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim!" Naina runs the motor out of the garage, the further away from the boutique the more her heart beats.

Naina chanted thoyibah sentences along the way in her heart. Expect protection from God to keep him on the way. Naina types the address on her phone, following directions from the voice of a woman who continues to speak.

The day is getting late, the twilight shade has spread across the earth. However, Naina is still on her way yet to arrive at the area in question.

"Yes Allah. Thank goodness!" naina said shortly after hearing the chanting of the voice of Adhan in surau-surau.

Naina decided to stop at the mosque, perform the maghrib prayer before continuing the journey.

"Mom, sorry. Do you know the address of this house?" naina asked a woman after finishing congregational prayers at the mosque.

"Oh, this is deket, Neng. Just stay straight there will be the biggest house. Now that's her house" replied the woman, whom Naina was holding.

"Thank you, Mom."

He went up on the motorbike, the phone from Alfin entered for a moment he was about to turn on the motor.

"Assalamu'alaikum! Yes, I'm on the road" Naina said after lifting the connection.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam's chat. Which way? Send your location now. I'll catch up!" alfin's word while turning off the phone.

Naina sends out her location, and drives towards the destination hoping Alfin will quickly come after.

The night was different, but it was still too late to be called night.
