The Golden Voice
HAPPY TOGETHER 07

"Anti, Kaifa Khaluki?", asked an ustadzah.

"Alhamdulillaah, bi khoir", replied Noah spontaneously.

Instantly igniting laughter jaim for the three ustadzah. Noah awakens from the shadows of his past memories.

"Anti cried but was asked fine. Is it really okay?", asked ustadzah.

"Af-afwan, because it was Noah keinget umi and abi. Also.. A very fierce teacher of Noah's Kindergarten", replied Noah glancing in anguish.

"Thayyib Yep. If so, let's join us"

Noah followed the children's learning. One ustadzah led in front, one accompanied and gave some attention to the other children and another behind accompanied Noah.

"Why is learning here so much fun? The Ustadz is very friendly. Can Noah know what his name is?", asked Noah in a whisper.

"He is Ustadzah Alisha. He is very loving to the children. Never angry and very patient", reply ustadzah named Nurul.

"Maa shea Allaah. Noah was amazed at him"

"Anti, where are you?"

"Noha? Nuha from second semester students majoring in tahfidz", reply Nuha with still focus on listening to Ustadzah Alisha tell a story.

"Student? Unseen from her appearance", Nurul muttered in wonder. "But he's from tahfidz. Means his memorization is not canned donk", inner again.

"For a long time, the story was very boring. How could they all still be obedient to listen to him", Nuhah grumbled inwardly.

"Ustadzah!!", call Noah confident.

"Na-am's? What's the matter?", replied Ustadzah Alisha. The other two ustadzahs were shocked to hear the call from Noah.

"Why are the children here so obedient, while the Ustadzah story is so boring to hear?, don't they want to play?", asked Nuha.

"Play?, ustadzah, Zyan also wants to play", replied a child.

"Sttts.. Not yet, Zyan. Zyan, have to recite the same ustadzah. And can't be rowdy while the lesson is still going on, sin". Ustadzah Anis replied kindly but painfully.

"Sin?", Noah tilted his head.

The kids started to lower their heads. Disappointments began to show from their faces. The feeling of being forced and obedient was increasingly unjustified for Noah.

"Nuha, don't like this", he said.

"A'udzubillaahi mina sshaithiini.. Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahim.."

Noah began to show his murottals to the children. He stood up and walked over to some of the children. Give them a smile and a sweet smile. He changed his tone so that it was more childish and touched their hearts.

"Maa syaa Allaah, her voice", praise ustadzah Nurul.

The children became interested in the sacred verses recited by Noah. Qur'an surah Luqman verse 12 to 20. Their eyes glazed over and they felt a calmness.

"Wa laqad aatainaa Luqmaanal hikmata anishkur lillaah; wa many yashkur fa innamaa yashkuru linafsihii wa man kafara fa innal laaha Ghaniyyun Hamiid"

"Who is that girl?", asked Alisha inwardly.

"What an incredible voice. His tone really touched this heart. He must be a very talented student" muttered Ustadzah Anis.

They enthusiastically listened to Nuha murottal, stunned and carried away.

"Alam taraw annal laaha sakhkhara lakum maa fis sa maawaati wa maa fil ardi wa asbaha 'alaikum ni'amahuu zaahiratanw wa baatinah; wa minan naasi many yujaadilu fil laahi bighayri 'ilminw wa laa hudanw wa laa Kitaabim muniir", finally Noah ended his reading.

"Shadakalaahul 'adzim"

"Allaahummar hamna bil qur'an", said the children very well.

"To demand knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim. But, if the learning is very boring and full of coercion, Nuha does not like" said Nuha breathing.

"Gayss!! Let's play!!", encourage Noah.

"What's? What?", the three ustadzas were instantly dumbfounded.

"Why did he turn so childish?", murmured Ustadzah Anis.

"Ana too!", exclaimed Ustadzah Nurul.

Instantly, the ten children immediately ran after Noah in the front yard of the pendopo. He invites the children to play while explaining the meaning of the Surah Luqman that he chants.

"Ahaha.. Come line the kids", take Nuha.

They also line up with a feeling of pleasure.

"Who knows what I read?"

"Mumtaz!!", Noah approached her and gave her a tos. Make other kids want to get it too.

"Then, when we are grateful, what should we say?"

"alhamdulillaah", said 4 children together.

"That's amazing!!"

"Now let's play the clap of faith!!"

"Yoo!!"

"Ana doesn't like to see children being too active like this" grumbled Ustadzah Anis.

"Laa ba'saa, ustadzah", reply alisha.

"Ana saw earlier as she recalled her memories, she looked so sad that she cried. Then, he said that other than he remembered his umi and his ashes, he also remembered about his fierce Kindergarten teacher. The fierce teacher who made him become depressed and frightened. Perhaps, he did not want it to be experienced by these children as well. He finally came up with a solution. But, he has not been able to deal with his own problems" explained Ustadzah Alisha.

"Anti's really smart, ustadzah. No wonder anti would be the son-in-law of Kiai Ahmad Husain", praise ustadzah Anis.

Ustadzah Nurul helped Nuha in bringing children to play while studying. Nuha looks very happy in doing so, while Ustadzah Nurul also feels free and cheers and gives a cheerful laughter.

They began to play hide and seek, then crank then dragon snake. Children's excitement, making them unable to control their excessive energy. So, there are children who fall and cry and there are children who suddenly fight.

Noah turned his attention to the others, "Adudududu! Does anyone know what this sound is?"

"What sound?"

"This voiceihh!!", makes it clearer.

"What sound is it, brother?"

"Sstttt.", Noah immediately gave the code to be quiet and listen very well.

"Sstt.. That's why, shut up first. If you want to cry, let's get closer to brother"

The children began to surround Noah, who was sitting on the ground.

"Listen, this is his voice"

"A stomach voice?", chirped a child.

"Dengerin again donk, what's his stomach talking about?"

"Sister's stomach, is there a baby's grandpa?", asked the innocent child.

"Ahihihihi", some children laughed.

"No. Horror again, ayoo"

Curiosity that makes Ustadzah Nurul so follow-up. Actually, what Noah was doing, looked very serious.

"Krukkkr.. Kruueek.. Krruuk"

"Ahaha.. Hungry brother huh?", asked a child.

"Sister's love is hungry", another child quipped.

"Huhu, brother hungry. Please feed sister", pinta Nuha pretended to be sad.

"Ustadzah Nurul, this brother is hungry", said a child.

Ustadzah Nurul became embarrassed himself, why he had to be curious about the dime that Noah did.

"Let's have the kids, time to eat", invite Ustadzah Anis.

Instantly, all the children ran towards the ustadzah Anis who was preparing the rice box he pendopo courtyard.

"Sister, let's eat!", bring a girl.

"May you eat with me?"

"Of course!", replied the boy happily.

"Sukran. Katsiron sukran. Jazakillaahu khoir is a very good sister", replied Nuha moved.

"Ahaha.. Waiyyakii, sister"

The little girl took Noah by the hand and asked him to wash his hands and sit together in the pendopo court. They read prayers before eating, then eating together.
