"Kok, just came?" ask Aiza.
"intentionally. Wait for the children on their crotch. I want it later" replied Akhmar.
"Then have you memorized it?"
"Udah."
"Udah memorized?"
"Udah."
"Really?" aiza asked to convince.
"If you don't believe me, ask your brother."
Aiza did not want to continue the conversation. "Yes already. Now repeat. I want to hear it straight."
"Ready!" Akhmar. Then he read his memorization. Nothing is stamped. Smoothly.
Aiza salutes the persistence of Akhmar who was so eager to memorize the holy verse of the Quran. Though Alhmar's tongue was still very rigid pronouncing the letters hijaiyah, proving that he had never taught at first. But his persistence is incredible. Proven to be able to memorize letters throughout it in a long time.
After completing the rote, Akhmar began to read Iqro', just as Ismail had taught him, that he should start over.
"With..." Aiza taught Akhmar to repeat the letter many times. Alhmar has difficulty pronouncing the letters as requested.
"Sa" repeated Akhmar.
"Tsa."
"Ssaa."
"Tsa." Aiza reiterated.
"Ssssaaaaya likes you."
Plaque!
"Aah!" Akhmar held his cheek which had just been hit by a wooden ruler. "It's cheeks, not bedugs!"
"That's what a real najai would be. Being told to pronounce the real letter tsa even ngaco!" said Aiza.
"sorry. You are stormy. Cook repeated. Could this be my lips."
"You said it was still wrong, so it was told to repeat. Which is really dong."
"The feeling is real."
"Cut me! The tsa! His tongue is slightly out, the tip of the tongue is applied to the teeth!" tell Aiza. "Well, if you digress!"
"Yes."
Well told to read even tsa who came out begono. Aiza again repeated the correct pronunciation.
Akhmar also tried to pronounce according to the letter. Before long, Akhmar finally managed to pronounce correctly.
"Well, that's real" Aiza said with a smile.
Allah Masyaa... It was beautiful when Aiza smiled. Her dimples look perfect.
“Learn enough salary to get here. Tomorrow continue again."
"O yeah, what's the reason you like hanging out with friends at crossroads?" ask Aiza.
Akhmar put his shoulders lightly.
"The work you do will only increase the sin of the doang. There's no benefit. Like yesterday, your friends are idle and even hold me, what's the name if it's not trouble? That's called insolent. Not polite." Aiza's tiny face looked red in memory of the incident.
Akhmar was surprised, how could any of his friends dare to be insolent towards Aiza?
"I make sure none of that will ever happen to you again" said Akhmar enthusiastically.
"I'm one of the victims, it's free if I'm the only one who's safe. All girls are bullied, it's not good tauk!"
Akhmar was silent thinking about many things.
The ringing sound of the phone made Aiza reach ha pe out of her pants pocket. Zahra called.
"Assalamualaikum, Brother Zahra. What's up, brother?" Aiza attached the flat object to the ear.
"Sir, grandma has been eating yet? If not, let brother Anterin go to his room" said Zahra.
Waduh, Aiza forgot to take her grandmother's dinner. Usually, the job is always done. Usually, his grandmother only ate cassava stew, banana stew, or bread only at night.
Aiza put ha pe to the table. "Oh yes, memorization to you tomorrow is An Nas' letter. Hafalin huh! The letter is short 6 verses."
"Principal continues? When's it?" Akhmar scratched his head, thinking after completing the rote yesterday, then finished his rote duty, but it was not.
"Up to 30 juz. It was just a stretch," Aiza said.
"30 juz?"
"Yes. All the letters in the Qur'an. All the kids here are like that too. Must memorize. Run one letter, go to the next. So it goes on to memorize 30 juz."
Worse than the Japanese romusha. It's torture. The brain can also be weak.
"Do you remember those 30 juz? It was as if his teacher had memorized more first than his student."
"Teachers don't have to memorize. The important thing is to have knowledge for students. Mathematics teachers do not have to memorize mathematical formulas to teach their students. I want to eat for Grandma. You can go home." Aiza rushed away leaving the room.
Akhmar was about to rise to his feet, but he stared at Aiza's hape lying on the table. Akhmar grabbed the phone and pressed twelve digits on the call, none other than his own number. Then press the number until it is connected to his own phone.
Akhmar again put the e-mail to the table shortly after deleting the call.
Akhmar went home with a priceless feeling.
***
Yes, from that night, every time I went home, Akhmar was given a memorization assignment by Aiza and it was done by Akhmar with pleasure. Akhmar time in each day is seized only to memorize the Quran and busy teaching. No doubt, every short letter was successfully completed by Akhmar in just one day. And Akhmar can already deposit one letter every day. Marvelous.
But behind Akhmar's pleasure spending more time with memorization, making Atep and Enyong upset because Akhmar never again had time to gather together in the place of tongkrongan.
And one thing that adds to Akhmar's list of routines right now is work.
Yes, Akhmar has started working on an expedition. Starting from the morning at 7 to 3 pm, Akhmar does his routine of delivering goods. And in the afternoon, he went to college. Later that night, learn to teach. The activity is full now.
