The Four Emirs

The Four Emirs
Teacher Direndra and Ayrton Meet with Zinnia


Direndra gawked as he entered the classroom which contained only ten eight-year-olds. They don't wear uniforms but look neat and clean. The ten children consisted of five girls and five boys whose seats were separated by long chairs in the middle of their tables and chairs.


Looking at the tall stranger with a confused face made the children look at Direndra attentively and curiously.


"You who is sir? Where's Teacher Veer?" ask a boy who seems to be the bravest of his friends.


"Oh my name..."


"Children, introduce this to your new teacher, his name is Abi bin Akbar. Today Abi's teacher will teach you English" Raana's voice makes Direndra breathe a sigh of relief.


Eh wait! Teacher Abi? Well, if Ogan Buyut Abi is called Guru Abi does not laugh out loud? Darendra smiled thinly imagining the face of his handsome ogannya but his julid is asking for forgiveness according to the story of Opa Duncan and Daddy.


"Teacher Raana, where is Teacher Veer?" ask the boy again.


"Teacher Veer is having business in the city, Ahmed, so today you will be taught by Abi's teacher." Raana turned her head towards Abi who was wearing a grey thawb and black trousers. "Teacher Abi, please start his teaching and learning event."


"good. Thank you teacher Raana."


"Kids don't be naughty" Raana smiles at her protege in Direndra's classroom before she leaves them.


Direndra then looked at one by one 'his students'. "Now Abi's teacher wants to get to know you one by one. Name your name and your age."


Direndra could see how the ten children were still in suspicious mode. Duh, it's gonna be a long time!

Ayrton had taken Safira to his apartment and he chose to rent the apartment for a week before returning to Dubai. Apartment next to Safira's apartment.


The man took out all his clothes to put in the closet. For Ayrton apartment model studio is not a problem because the important thing is there is a place to rest.


The phone notification sounds and Ayrton smiles reading the message.

Direndra was finally able to take the hearts of his impromptu students by giving English lessons using pictures. Not many know that Prince Al Azzam is good at making his students enthusiastic.


On that simple blackboard, Direndra drew something and the children guessed it with English vocabulary. The way the approach is different from their previous teachers, making students more enthusiastic with the Direndra pattern.


"Master Abi" called one of his students.


"Yes Fatiyah?" direndra replied with a smile.


"Would Abi's teacher be able to tell a story. We like fairy tales."


Direndra was stunned to think about what story to give. "Teacher Abi will tell the story of a brave girl who fought a giant. But, use English, okay? If anyone doesn't understand, you can just ask."


The cheers of the kids were splashing in Direndra's class. The man then changed the layout of the classroom into a comfortable storytelling place. Moreover, there was still half an hour before changing the lesson.


"Once upon a time there were parents who didn't have a child... " Direndra who sat in front of his students looked very big compared to them.


Raana, who was walking towards another classroom, looked up at Direndra's class and saw how the man managed to get his students enthusiastic about listening to his story.


"Teacher Abi, his name is funny. Golden cucumber" swelled the female disciples.


"The name's antique, right?" direndra's rancid heart-grateful childhood Oma Rhea and Eyang Aisyah loved to read fairy tales to her and Alaric.


"Subsequently!" yell at the other kids.


"Golden cucumber was being asked by the giant because he wanted to eat her..."


"Nooooooo!" the children's screams were a stir that made Raana smile listening.


The sound of the bell made Direndra stop his storytelling event. "We continue tomorrow?"


"Yes Abi's teacher." The children also cleaned the table and chairs back to how they were. Darendra said goodbye to his students and when he was outside, he was surprised to see Raana standing on the right side of his classroom.


"Golden cucumber? What's that name?" raana's Smile.


"The name of the fairy tale I told you about" replied Direndra.


"Are you able to come back here tomorrow, Mr Akbar?" ask Raana.


"Goddessa. Why Miss Badawi?"


"I was curious about the story of the golden cucumber" kekeh Raana who made Direndra laugh.

Zinnia Hadiyanto


"Thank you for having lunch with me before I go back to Dubai" Ayrton said with a smile.


Zinnia was shaking hands with Ayrton and had not been looking at the man since.


"Oom."


"Yes Zinnia?" ask Ayrton.


"Oom is too high? Eat what?" asked Zinnia with a face that looked adorable in Ayrton's eyes.


"Most eat dates like that" replied Ayrton, who made Mariana laugh.


"Seriously Ton, can the date meal be high?" chortled.


"Lho might as well be May. So don't be surprised" said Ayrton.


"Well, if so, Zee wants to eat dates every day so high" Zinnia chirped.


"Honey, Oom Ayrton is high because there are indeed high descendants and diligently eat vegetables unlike you, eat vegetables difficult. So from now on Zee must be diligent to eat vegetables to be healthy and high like Oom Ayrton." Mariana rubbed Zinnia's head covered in a hat.


"Where does Oom Ayrton live?"


"In Dubai."


"What is dubai?"


"Dubai is a city in the United Arab Emirates." Ayrton took out his ipad and began looking for a map and showed Zinnia where Dubai was located, and then showed him the Al Jordan palace where he now lives.


Mariana gawked at how luxurious Al Jordan's residence was that it wasn't canned.


"That's a palace?" mariana whispered.


"Actually yes. I'm just always saying home isn't too much."


Mariana looked at Ayrton who said the palace was home. "Astaghfirullah Ton! It's a palace still!"


Ayrton just scratched his head.


"Oom Ayrton got what at home?"


"What does that mean?" ayrton did not understand.


"Have a cat or a dog? If Zee had a pug cat but at home eyed."


"Oom there are ragdoll cats and Himalayan pets Oma Oom same some Arabian horses."


Mariana is getting gawky. He did not expect that the calm man in front of him was really an Emir because his attitude did not indicate that he was of noble descent as it included a casual and low profile man.


"Mama, Zee wants to go to Oom Ayrton's house. Wanted to see her cat" whined Zinnia.


"Haaaaahhh?" Suddenly Mariana felt dizzy.
