Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 54

In the afternoon at the mosque, Alfin had just finished teaching the children to teach. He sat in the foyer and fed the fish in the pond. Occasionally will glance at children who play in front of the dorm yard.

He smiled, his eyes falling back on the pond where the fish were fighting for food. His heart felt peaceful, calm and carefree. Until the arrival of Halwa that made him jerk from daydreams.

"Dad! Why daydream?" reprimand the little girl while hugging Alfin's neck.

"Astaghfirullah al-adhiim, Halwa! You're making me surprised." Alfin rubbed his thumping chest.

Halwa chuckled, sitting on the lap of the father who was enjoying solitude.

"Dad, where is mom? Why don't you ever come here again for our nengokin?" tanya Halwa misses the figure of Naina who a few days ago often came to visit.

Alfin was stunned to hear that, his heart grew even more excited when Naina's name was called.

Oh God! What's the matter?

Alfin was determined to calm his heart which suddenly felt restless. However, he brushed it off and read ta'awudz, asking God for protection from the temptations of Satan.

"Mom is working. Later on holidays also play here. Okay, take a shower there. No longer want maghrib," Alfin's decree ended with a sigh.

Halwa got up and ran over to her brother to clean up. Alfin sighed, holding his chest that felt tight because the anxiety present was getting more concentrated.

He stepped inside the mosque after taking ablution. Reading the Qur'an while fumbling its meaning. Until the Maghrib arrived, Alfin's heart was not more calm, but rather more agitated.

Until the ringing of the phone jolted Alfin's body who was sitting calming down behind the mosque. Call from Khadijah. Alfin hurriedly picked her up greeting quickly and listened to what she wanted to convey.

"Alfinen. Take a look at Naina at the boutique. The feeling of sister is not good, Abi also said that you picked up Naina. Scribbles!" tell Khadijah to then hang up the phone.

Without waiting for anything else, Alfin went to his children's dormitory. Take the motor key and leave without saying goodbye. Along the way, he relentlessly prays for Naina's safety. Alfin arrived quickly at the place where the girl was working, immediately went down the motorbike and entered the boutique.

"Alfin?" reprimand the boutique owner who happens to be there waiting for Naina's arrival. He also looks agitated, because Naina left too long.

"Where is Naina?" ask Alfin immediately without making small talk. His head turned to the right and left looking for the figure of the girl.

"Naina I asked to make between orders, but until now has not come," replied the boutique owner with an increasingly uncertain feeling.

"Where?"

He mentioned one address, widening the eyes Alfin heard the area.

"Astaghfirullah al-adhiim! That's pretty far from here. Do you know, Naina is new in this city and she doesn't know where to go. Why do you still have Naina deliver the order? Isn't there something else?" alfin's jolt was getting more and more upset.

"Y-yes, I was wrong. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Later I will send people to follow Naina," he said did not make Alfin's heart calm.

He goes outside, contacting Naina to make sure the girl is in shape.

"Assalamu'alaikum! Yeah, I'm on the street."

Naina's voice sounded strong, but not enough to calm Alfin's heart. He is far away from her at the moment.

Alfin then closes the connection to open the messaging application waiting for the delivery location from Naina.

"Astaghfiullah!" Alfin rubbed his face when he found out the distance that was not close from his current position. He got on the bike immediately, following to where Naina was. Following the directions from the instructions in the phone while saying Istighfar in the heart.

His unceasing inner pleading to the Power for Naina's safety. Alfin further accelerated the speed of his motorbike wanting to arrive at the place where Naina was. Unfortunately, as in the city, the main road is crowded with vehicles. The traffic jam was long enough when it was the fastest way to get to the location of Naina.

Alfin twisted direction, his tongue clucking repeatedly in impatience. The further away, the more his heart was agitated and anxious. Alfin sped up the speed of his motor, but again the obstruction prevented him.

The road was closed due to successive accidents and all vehicles were being evacuated.

"Allahu Akbar!" Alfin rubbed his face, looking at all the officers who were shoulder to shoulder to shoulder to remove the victims from the vehicle.

Drizzling down the earth, Alfin turned to the right and left looking for another path that could take him to Naina. He asked one of the residents about the road to the location.

"Oh, ada. Go into the alley on the left, but the road is small. Keep going further" replied the resident.

Hearing that Alfin became hesitant, he got off the motor to be able to see the progress of the evacuation of the crash victims.

"Astaghfirullah al-adhiim!" Unconsciously speaking, it was still too long if they had to wait for them to finish.

Alfin returned to his motorbike, and turned around to look for the alley in question. The drizzle down more and more, blocking vision. He entered the alley, proceeding cautiously. Residential settlements are so dense that road access is so narrow. When there is a motor from the other direction, one of them has to give up.

"Oh God! when is the shampoo kayak gini?" Alfin began to complain, crying without tears.

No matter what clothes are soaking wet, no matter the eyesight that is closed. The one he wanted immediately arrived at where Naina was.

Alfin pulled over briefly in front of a store that was closing to see Naina's location. He frowned when the blue dot was just motionless.

"Where is that? Why won't the point move? Oh God! What happened, God!" racau Alfin put the phone back in the scabbard in his stomach.

He continued on with an increasingly agitated heart. Drove on narrow streets that if not careful can fall. In addition, the streets that are only partially brick have become slippery when splashed with rain water.

Alfin honks when the vehicle from the opposite direction is about to enter the alley. He asked for a way first to arrive at the main road immediately.

"Thank God, O God!" Alfin arrived at the main road which was partially flooded due to the overflow of trenches on the right and left sides of the road.

Alfin increased his speed, his vision grew blurry, glare when exposed to the vehicle's lights. Alfin raised one hand, dispelling the spotlight that pointed right at both corneas in his eye.

Entering the area that Naina was heading to, the streets became deserted. Alfin pulled over, pulled out his phone to contact Naina. Once, twice, three times, Naina never answered her call.

"Astaghfiullah! Where are you, Nai?" Alfin sighed paying attention to the location point of Naina's phone. He walked down the street on foot because the location that looks not too far away.

"Astaghfiullah! Oh, my God, Naina!" Alfin's eyes widened, his body stiffening.
