Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 7

A few days passed, the day Naina was waiting for arrived. According to news from the uncle, he was accepted as a cashier at the minimarket. Early in the morning have dressed neatly, white shirt, long black pants, neatly bunned hair, with bangs cut adorning the forehead.

Three days ago, the aunt even bought him shoes to support Naina's appearance on her first day of work. He stared at the reflection of himself, spinning what was attached to his body.

"Mother, doain Nai, yes. Hopefully Nai can be accepted to work," said Naina in front of a photo of Lita displayed on top of the closet.

He kissed the photo, took the bag, walked out to meet his uncle and aunt. The man was ready to take Naina to the place in question as well as leave for her place of work.

"Maa, God, what a beautiful Auntie! I'm fit to be an office person, Mah," praise Sumiyati while looking at the appearance of Naina from the tip of the hair to the end of the shoes she wears.

"Thank you, Bi. This was also due to the help of Auntie. Nai promised, Nai's first salary is half for Auntie," said Naina so happy.

"Oh, no need. You keep it simple, Aunty has her own money," said Sumiyati full of haru.

Naina is a good child, she is devoted to them even though she is not her biological parent.

"It's okay, simple aunt. Yes, Nai's leaving, Bi. Assalamu'alaikum!" Naina kissed both Sumiyati cheeks.

He rushed to Asep who was waiting for him on the bike.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam, be careful," Sumiyati said as she stood on the terrace to release the departure of the two.

Her old heart was comforted, Naina's arrival was an opportunity for her to feel a child, a trust from God. Sumiyati will not waste the opportunity and will take good care of Naina.

"Hopefully happiness accompanies your life, son. You're a good boy. Lita is very lucky to have a filial son like Naina," she murmured softly.

Arriving at the minimarket in question, the uncle took Naina to the person in charge of the store. Through a short interview, Naina is accepted to work as a cashier. From that day on, Naina went straight to work.

They serve their customers with courtesy and kindness. Patient too, of course. Smile every time a customer comes, greeting them to be interested in continuing to come shopping. So everyday Naina who became a cashier in a minimarket.

"Naaina!" The girl turned her head, then smiled when she saw the manager standing by the cashier's desk.

"Yes, Sir. What's up?"

Echem.

He cleared his throat charmed with the girl's beautiful, sincere smile. Turning around while neutralizing his heart that always raced when faced with the figure of Naina.

The girl's forehead wrinkled, looking closely at the superior who stood misbehaving in front of her.

"Why, Sir? Can I help you?" ask Naina again after the first question was not addressed by the manager.

"Ah, yes. Have you had lunch?" tanyanya.

The frown on Naina's forehead was piling up, she even tilted her head in order to clearly see the face that had just questioned her for lunch.

"I'll bring stock, sir. It's." Naina lifted the lunchbox that Aunt prepared this morning before leaving.

The adult man rounded his lips, he smiled clumsily while rubbing his nape.

"Next time don't bring stock. I want to invite you to lunch at the food stall around here," he said followed by a slightly strong bitten lip.

"I don't think I can, sir, because my aunt prepares it every morning. I don't feel good if you don't, because pity also aunt already tired of cooking early in the morning." Naina grimaces bad, but it's more unpleasant to ask Auntie to stop giving her back.

"Oh, so that's it. Yes already. Back to work, yes," he said disappointedly. Melengos from before Naina while entering her room again.

Naina sighed, the smile on her lips came back up as the customer came to her desk.

"Nai. Dzuhur, have you prayed yet?" scold one of the friends who just arrived to take shifts.

"Yes, I'm waiting for Brother. Many have bought. Replace, yes, brother. I want to pray first," Naina replied as she completed her last transaction before leaving the cashier.

This time, he had no intention of praying at the employee's premises, but instead left with his bag to the mosque across the street. Near the mosque his uncle worked as a porters building a shopping project.

He bought a bottle of cold drink to give to his uncle.

"Uncle!" call Naina while waving at a man sitting under a pile of bamboo.

She smiled at Naina's arrival.

"Why come here? Isn't it still work?" asep asked while receiving a bottle of drink from him.

"You're here, eat the same Uncle. Did uncle eat? We eat together, yuk," replied Naina while taking out the provisions from her bag.

Asep nodded, then did the same as Naina. Like father and son, they both look very familiar. Those who do not know must think Naina is the son of Asep.

"Nai to pray first, Uncle. Stay, yes," said Naina after spending her provisions.

Asep nodded, truly he loved Lita's child like his own. Asep rubbed his suddenly watery eyes, had he and his wife been able to have children would have felt the same happiness he felt now.

Asep returned to the finished work of his nephew and disappeared at the gate of the mosque. Naina took ablution, stretched out the prayer rug and put on a rut.

Her ears heard the laughter of children and a young man. Sometimes talking about Hijaiyah letters, they are learning to teach.

The curious Naina, stood up and peeked out from behind the veil that bordered between men and women. There, a young man wearing a crow and a sarong was also a black peci perched on the head, surrounded by five small children.

Naina secretly smiled, remembering her salary teacher in Jakarta. He immediately raised the hijab when the young man's eyes turned to him. Rushing folded the mukena and left the mosque in a hurry.

"Lho, why you, Nai? Kok, ngosan kayak abis chased by a demon," asked an employee who came out of the warehouse.

"Yes .. I was chased by a ghost. Handsome ghost, haha ...." Naina chuckled as she walked into the employee room to store her belongings.

The smile of the young man was very disturbing. Time and time again, still milling like a ghost that floated.

Without Naina noticing, the young man was curious about her. He told the children to check who was the figure who peeked behind the mosque's veil.

"There was nobody, but there was someone who was struggling. Maybe I'll notice, yeah." He muttered to himself, looking back at the room where the women were praying making sure no one was there.

The young man returned to the gathering place with the children. Naina's smile that caught her eye at a glance, was very disturbing to the mind. Next time, he won't lose his figure.

Who was this woman in the mosque, huh?
