VEILED WOMAN
MIDDLE-AGED GRANDMA

The weather that morning was not as usual was very sunny. This morning the clouds were very dark and the spatter that made Afiza sleep very long and made her bad luck and think it was still dawn..

In a hurry, Afifah immediately bathed and berwudhu to perform dawn prayers. Even though the weather this morning is not as usual, but it has never been an obstacle for him to worship and read the Qur'an every morning..

After finishing the morning prayers, Afiza went straight to her mother who was ready and dressed neatly like yesterday, afiza silently looked at her mother with a cynical look and wondered what exactly she wanted to do? Making Afiza's feelings instantly change seeing her mother like that which is unusual..

Why does Fiza see mom like that? Ask her mother with a confused look.

Mother why early in the morning is neat and dressed like this, not as usual Fiza saw. she replied in an upset tone because her mother did not tell her from the beginning.

Fiz.. Did you forget that your sister is already 5 years old, said her mother softly

Yes Ma. Fiza remembers and knows that Afifah is 5 years old. Continue what to do with the mother dressing up like this, he answered curiously and got closer to his mother.

Don't you understand Fiza what I'm maxing out by saying like that her mother replied with a long sigh.

In an annoyed tone Fiza also replied: "Ibuu, did not tell Fiza the answer, So where can Fiza know the maxut of this mother's makeup..

Pulling Fiza's hand and answering. " Afiza Ghani mother's favorite daughter. Your sister is 5 years old, so she should go to school just like you are Fiza. It's just that you're 3rd class Madrasah Tsanawiyah and your sister is still kindergarten..

Kindergarten School? Why not just elementary school like Fiza before. Without Kindergarten Fiza school can be like now. always get a ranking in school. Fiza said confusedly.

Afiza son mother. If you were in the past, Kindergarten schools already exist, but do not have children for kindergarten and now Fiza. Children who are 5 years old are required to go to Kindergarten first just entered elementary school. Therefore, your sister Afifah should go to school as well.. Do you know Afiza Ghani?

Yes Ma'am, Fiza understands now she replied with a sweet smiling face.

Yasudah then mother went first yes drove your sister to school so as not to be late. He walked out of the house and left his daughter, who was still sitting at the table..

It crossed Afiza's mind..

brother Afifah has entered Kindergarten school today, while I also soon graduated and entered the Aliyah school that I wanted since long ago. But😔 What about the cost of school we both later? Will his father and mother be able to support them? Or even one day Afiza must succumb not to continue to the Aliyah school that she hoped it was, while looking down and draining tears. His feelings continue to mix between having to continue his school or stop in the middle of the road.. If I continue to go to school like this. There is no way that the graduation fee will be paid.

kring. cring..

the phone call stopped him thinking.

He went and picked up the phone and said: "Assalamualaikum, with me Afiza Ghani, the daughter of Mhd Emir and Afza Muna's mother.

The man answered his phone and said: "Fiza is uncle from the village. Is there a mother or father? Because there's something uncle wants to tell them.

ohh this is uncle.. There is no uncle. Dad has gone to work from dawn said the mother earlier to me and also the mother had left to take the school sister while I was alone at home because I did not go to school.

Why not Afiza school? Are you sick or is there any problem Fiza replied her uncle with anxiety..

Not really Uncle, It's just a holiday because all the teachers in school have sudden meetings and training. So we were released from the school.. Fiza replied explaining to her uncle.

Yasudah Fiza then. Uncle hang up his phone, Fiza. assalamualaikum..

Waalaikumussalam uncle replied Fiza.

Tutt... Tutt.. Tutt...

The phone voice is dead..

Slowly Fiza walked leisurely while looking at the pamphlets displayed on trees or certain places. Eagerly and persistently looking for work for his school fees, he carefully read one by one the existing writings. Although sometimes it is not a writing to find job vacancies, it is just a writing to notify residents to be more vigilant with the rise of cases of kidnapping minors...

It did not feel like he was walking away from his home, but there was nothing he could get the job vacancy.. There was also a vacancy that he read not with the criteria that he had and was still in school. Even minors who are not fit to work...

Arrived" he met the figure of a beakbaya woman who was about to cross the road by holding his cane.. Afiza, who saw him, helped the woman across the street and said: "Where does Grandma want to go? Let Fiza help you get a taxi.

" Grandma is looking for granddaughter, Grandma is afraid that granddaughter of grandmothers are kidnapped by irresponsible people. " I answered in a sad voice.

"Grandmother came home first where she knew granddaughter Grandmother had arrived at home, just that grandma had not met on this road. This road is broad so it could be that grandchildren do not pass from here." Afiza tried to calm down.

Well then, but please well you're taking grandma home. Grandma was afraid that she would stray on this road too, because grandma was old.

Good grandma then. I call him the Taxi.

While waiting for the Taxi to come, Afiza bought a drink for the grandmother because she looked tired and thirsty..

Soon a Taxi passed in front of them and Afiza called the Taxi, and drove to the grandmother's house..

After arriving at the home of the abbey grandmother. Afiza was invited in and offered food and drinks that she had never enjoyed, because of her difficult economic circumstances that made her never eat good food and also expensive, expensive, Afiza was sitting there.

She asked: "Why are you silent like that, son, what are you thinking? Is there a problem with your family.

Afiza replied: "I think of my father, mother and sister as well because I eat expensive food here but there they all I do not know to eat or not.

If that's the case, then the grandmother will wrap it also yes for your mother's father and sister, the thank you sign that you have helped. The abbey's grandmother..

Thank you very much Grandma has given me and my family food like this, while Fiza kissed the hands of the middle-aged grandmother with a sign of gratitude.

So you're now looking for what son, why grandma looks at you like she's confused and looking for something..

Look Grandma, I'm still in the 3rd grade of Tsanawiyah madrasah. I am graduating soon and would like to connect to Aliyah school which has a lot of religious knowledge, while my sister also wants to go to Kindergarten school. so I was looking for pamphlets to work with so that I could help my parents, but I was secretly from my parents so they wouldn't ban me and be worried about my school.. Afiza replied with the explanation she was living with

The middle-aged grandmother was silent..

And he said: "Well it's Afiza then you want to work at grandma's house after school? Help grandma take care of granddaughter and also accompany grandma in this house?

Afiza stood up and said, "It's with pleasure and thanks, Grandma, Fiza will come tomorrow after school."

Equally son. The middle-aged grandmother responded with a smile.

Fiza permission to go home well grandma, Fear of father and mother worry. assalamualaikum nek, while walking out of the house and leave the grandmother beakbaya.
