Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 71

The night had passed, one night Alfin was on the toilet. There was nothing he did but meditate on the expanse of prayer. Turning the tasbih circle pronounces the phrase istighfar as much.

Meanwhile, Bas, is willing to investigate Alfin's case. This time it was no longer about the murder of Alfin, but about the reason why the murder happened.

The case widened, the only witness who became the real victim has not been found. Sumiyati's house is still empty, but she and her team continue their investigation.

Khadijah went to the prison with a man dressed in official clothes. His arrival did not like Alfin, the young man was afraid if the figure of Khadijah known many people as the son of an ustadz.

"Why is my brother here?" alfin asked while throwing his face away from his brother.

Khadijah who sat beside him, gripped Alfin's chin. Turned his head so he could see the younger brother's face.

"Are you not sleeping? You're not resting at all?" He let go of the clutches of his hands, sighing long and heavy.

What happened to his family really makes Khadija unable to focus on helping her husband in his business.

"I told you not to come to the police station. What if people knew?" sulikan Alfin's.

The woman's breath was again heard, heavy and long. What he did was solely for Alfin.

"Sister here, bring a lawyer. He will help you to solve the case" Khadija told him, pointing to the men in uniform sitting across from them.

Alfin glanced at the man lazily, sighing heavily. Everything becomes futile if Naina is not found.

"Where's Naina? Did you find him?" alfin asked lowered his head hoping to hear news about the woman.

"Not yet, but Brother is still trying to find." Khadijah looked at the face of the younger brother who looked more pale. There were dark circles in both of his eyes.

"Didn't they report to the police about Naina being harassed?" Khadijah muttered clearly heard by Alfin and the lawyer.

"There may be a factor that keeps them from reporting. I think in this case there is a conspiracy of some parties," said the lawyer guessing the possibility.

Alfin did not care, if it was true even if he only wanted to meet Naina. Until the departure of the brother, Alfin did not respond much. She did not even ask about her children in the mosque. Not indifferent or unwilling to know, Alfin just did not want to hear the story of those who kept asking about father.

****

The days passed without much change, the news of the person he was waiting for had not yet come. Alfin's heart is getting sicker, the sore is sliced. Wanted to find Naina, but whatever her powers are being punished.

Just hope in your heart, may the girl be fine.

In Adrian's mansion, Naina was sitting pensively in front of the mirror. Looked at her reflection that looked brighter. Slowly Naina became calmer. Trying to accept every destiny that God has outlined.

"Darling, aren't you ready yet?" adrian's wife asked while knocking on Naina's room door.

He sighed, looking at the door that was rarely locked.

"Yes, Mah. Nai's out soon" said Naina.

He looked back in the mirror, smiling and grateful for his life. His view fell on a figura he brought from Jakarta. A picture of her with her mother, Lita.

"Maybe this is why Mom asked me to stay with Auntie. So I can meet Papah. They're good people, Mom. I don't have to worry about Naina anymore. Now, someone is protecting Nai in this world. Nai won't be short of food anymore, ma'am. Papah also forbade Nai from doing work. Thanks, Mommy." He holds the picture frame.

His eyes closed feeling how warm Lita's embrace was. I miss calling, wanting to meet him. He would ask Adrian to drive him to Jakarta.

Naina kissed the picture before moving on and left the room. Adrian also met his wife who was waiting downstairs.

"We're going to Papah's place first, yeah. After that you can go," said Adrian as he stepped out of the house. Not forgetting to say goodbye to Sumiyati as well as Asep.

Naina does not think that the place they are headed is the shop where she used to work and meet with Anton. Adrian glanced at the girl, smiling as he imagined the surprised face of Naina.

The girl's forehead began to wrinkle as she recognized the path they were going through. He straightened his body, glancing to the right and left while wondering where they were going.

Naina's eyes opened wider as the car stopped in front of the store.

"Come, down!" take Adrian followed by his wife who came out later.

"Well, why are we here?" asked Naina confusedly, she was still sitting in the car not intending to move on.

"Father would come here. This store ... well, you could say Papah. Why?" adrian looked at the girl's face.

Naina turned her head and said, "Then, Nai worked here, but only for a moment." Naina turns sad considering everything that happened during her time working at the store. Adrian chuckles, and so does his smiling wife.

"Father knows. Papah can find you too because look at your file here. Don't you miss your friends?"

Naina lowered her head, remembering Vita who was so kind to her. He went downstairs after Adrian and his wife entered the store. His lips were smiling, at least able to meet all the children in the mosque. No matter if Alfin forbade it, he would still go to meet them.

"Naaina!"

"Vita!"

The two women hugged each other letting go of longing. There's nothing Naina does but sit down next to the cashier's desk. Naina moves on, takes the grocery basket. With a cheerful heart, he sorted and chose whatever he wanted to buy

Shaded their faces, their innocent smiles that would treat his longing.

"Hopefully Alfin didn't forbid me from meeting them" Naina muttered as she continued to shop for food and all their necessities.

While at the mosque, all the children of Alfin sat lined up on the porch of the building. Waiting for their father's arrival. Halwa sat with her chin up, looking at the gate, precisely at the shop where Naina used to work.

Her little heart hoped she would see Naina for a moment.

"Mom never saw us again, now dad also did not come. Are we not being cared for anymore?" racau Halwa ended with a sigh by him.

"Can't think of it like that. Maybe dad has a job. We will also go home to look at us." The older boy rubbed Halwa's head.

They kept quiet without wanting to do anything, even play though.

"Mother!"
