Teach Me (Naina)
Chapter 96

The twilight clouds had been sweeping the earth when Alfin's motorbike with Busyro arrived at the hospital's parking lot. The young man's eyes glimmered in all directions, looking around for another vehicle. He found nothing but the property there.

"Sister!" Alfin's heart trembled when a bad premonition came crashing into his soul.

Busyro patted his sister on the shoulder, calming her down to keep thinking positively.

"We go in first. Hopefully he hasn't taken Naina away yet" he said calmly.

Alfin said, tailing behind Busyro entered the building which he had just left a moment ago. The situation of the place was quiet, there was no low noise, nor the pace of the workers in it.

Their eyes scanned in all directions, looking for a young police figure to question.

"Bas!" call Alfin immediately upon seeing the man.

"Alfin?" The two eyebrows of Bas are linked to each other. He walked over, and invited them to sit down.

"I know you came looking for Naina" the bus interrupted as Alfin was about to reveal the meaning of her arrival.

The young man nodded quickly, hoping that what he was looking for was still in place. However, the head of the young policeman, had already answered his unease.

"You're late. He just left with his papa." The bus folded both hands on the stomach. A little envious of the good fortune Alfin had, but he was also self-conscious maybe his charity was not as intense as the young man before him.

"You know where they're going? Please, Bas. I don't want to lose Naina, I don't want to separate from her anymore" Alfin said.

Bas sighed, unraveling his hands while hooking the two on the table. He stared deeply at Alfin's bead filled with pain and sorrow. That guy is really pathetic.

"I don't know, Alfin. All I know is he owns the shop where Naina used to work. The rest I did not find a private address. Maybe you can come to the store and ask the same employee there," suggested Bas, although upset by Alfin's attitude, he still wants happiness for him.

"Yes already. Thanks, Bas. I'm going straight there. I don't want to be late again" said Alfin in a hurry to get up from his seat followed by Busyro.

"Happy fighting! Good luck, buddy!" exclaiming Bas while waving his hand and biting his own lips.

Alfin did not reply, only returning the hand of the man. Afterwards, their motorbike sped away from the building.

"Quick, Brother! Who knew they were there" Alfin asked the older brother who was riding his motorcycle.

"Prophey! The traffic on the road is not good. You remember, 'al'ajalatu minasy-shaaithooni. The rush is the work of the syaithon. So, calm down, be patient. Later also until," said Busyro casually.

Alfin clucked, unlike himself who rode a motorbike as fast as lightning without fear. Busyro is more careful in doing everything. The young man sighed, regretting for not taking over the wheel.

At the mosque, Naina gathers with all the children there. Enjoy togetherness, a variety of food and drinks that Adrian spent in his own shop.

She smiled at the happiness on Naina's face. Sitting with Ustadz Hasan listened to his advice.

Adrian's heart was broken, thinking that the ustadz did not know that Naina was born from a mistake.

"That's what I regret, Ustadz. The sins that I committed in the past, Naina must now bear. I should have suffered, he knew nothing. She was born because of a mistake that my mother and I made, but I am still grateful that Naina still wants to accept me," said Adrian lowered his head deeply.

The sense of regret that enveloped his heart, increasingly clouded the soul.

"I know. She was nurtured by a great mother figure. Naina is very good at self-preservation, even with Alfin alone she keeps her distance. Do you know Alfin?" Ustadz Hasan looked at Adrian.

The man looked up, looking back at him sadly. Remembering the complicated love story of the child. There are too many thorns they have to go through. However, she does not want Naina to have the same fate as herself, who lost love.

"Already, Sir. It was in prison yesterday before Naina took her place" Adrian replied. There was no look of hatred in his two black maniacs. Because it wasn't Alfin who pissed him off, but the young man's mother.

"They are amazing, sir." Ustadz Hasan sighed, looking at Naina who was laughing happily with Alfin's children.

"The feeling of love that God placed in their hearts was pure, there was no element of lust. They can look after each other, complement each other. Alfin needs a friend like Naina, and Naina is able to compensate for Alfin's harsh journey. If they were to part, there would be hope of strengthening their faith." Ustadz Hasan turned to Adrian, looking at him fixedly.

While the man, continued to stare at his girl.

"I don't know myself, Ustadz. I did not have the courage to separate their love, I just felt a little offended by the speech of the young man's mother which caused my son to exchange his freedom for Alfin's freedom. I don't know, Ustadz. Maybe I will accept them if the young man's mother comes to apologize," Adrian said as he turned his gaze to stare at the bead in front of him.

Ustadz Hasan mangosteen understood. "Human. Sometimes I still feel offended when someone touches my personal belongings. It's just that, do not let our selfishness will hurt many people, or even cause new problems that make everything more complicated," said the ustadz who was listened to well by Adrian.

"I myself have tested how much Alfin loves Naina. How much she wants to make the girl happy, and how strong her determination is to protect Naina from everything that makes her miserable. To the point that he got out of control and .. yeah, you know what now, right?" cetus the ustadz tells Adrian about the struggle and sacrifice made by Alfin.

Adrian sighed, just one look at him knowing that Alfin was a good man, whose kindness he had never found from any man.

"So, what do I think Ustadz should do?" adrian asked confusedly.

"We leave it to both. Give them a chance to resolve any misunderstandings that occur between them. As parents, we must stand in their midst, listen to their hearts, and provide solutions wisely. Are you ready to accept Alfin as your son's husband?" said Mr. ustadz with a smile.

Adrian gulped, gamang with his own answer.

"I ...."

"Mom's not going to leave us, is she?" Halwa's question that was so sudden, jerked Naina's body.

The laughter that had been heard from earlier instantly turned silent. Naina looked at those waiting for an answer from her.

"No, I will never leave you." He smiled as he held their bodies in his arms.

"Naaina!"
