VEILED WOMEN (BEST WIFE AND MOTHER)
5

A few days later

Syifa and Omanya come to KASIH BUNDA orphanage. The orphanage they visited a while ago.

They were shocked that it was not usually quiet in the courtyard of the parlour, the owner of the parlour walked towards them when he saw them coming and greeted them kindly.

"Tumben's quiet, where are the kids?" janeta asked as she looked left.

"They are learning to teach, it happens that my nephew just returned from Cairo last week, he played here so the children asked to be taught najai with him," said Amara, the owner of the home with a proud smile.

"Amara's grandmother, can Syifa not learn to teach?" ask Syifa plain

"Of course, let's take Grandma to meet them," Amara asked while holding Syifa's hand

Syifa smiled, looking at Omanya who also smiled happily because her grandson wanted to learn to teach himself.

They walked to the room where the children studied, it turns out that Mother Amara's niece is Annisa, the veiled woman.

Annisa turned her head as they said their greetings, and she answered their greetings with a soft voice.

Janeta looked towards Annisa after Annisa answered her greetings.

Her voice This veiled woman is very soft, surely her face is also beautiful Janeta's inner gaze fixed on Annisa

They were approaching Annisa.

"Nisa, this is Syifa and Ms. Janeta, they are regular donors here but have only been here a few times" Amara said when introducing Syifa and Janeta

Annisa nodded as she looked towards them.

"Syifa wants to learn to teach with you," added Amara

"The others are done, Syifa want us not to learn it together?" annisa asked as she held Syifa's hand.

"You, you" said Syifa nodding happily

Annisa was still holding Syifa's hand and because her table was a bit high, Annisa immediately grabbed her.

"Learn it like this, yes" Annisa said

Syifa smiled happily while nodding. He's happy to be in this aunt's lap.

"How much money?" annisa asked while looking at the child in her lap.

"4 years more Aunty," said Syifa plain but clear.

"Because only 4 years must have never learned to teach, right?" annisa asked softly and very gently to make the person who heard her happy let alone a child.

Syifa nodded, "Never,"

"So because we have never learned it from the first, from Iqro," Annisa said while opening Iqro.

Asyifa is still unfamiliar to see Arabic letters in front of her, but her curiosity is quite large.

"Start from here" Annisa pointed to the first letter and called it and repeated it by Syifa

Amara and Janeta look from the outside, Janeta smiles when she sees Syifa always mispronouncing the Arabic alphabet until Annisa repeated it many times.

After a long period of study, Annisa finished her studies. He took Syifa down from his lap, Syifa was disappointed that she was no longer sitting in the lap of her new aunt but she believed that she was very good.

They walked closer to Amara and Janeta, Amara went to the back until they finally left the three of them and decided to go to the courtyard of the orphanage. The three people walked away to the courtyard of the parlour and chatted there while sitting down.

"Is Aunt Nisa coming back here tomorrow?" ask Syifa hoping

"Yes, God willing every day Aunt Nisa will come here at around 2 pm" Annisa said while stroking Syifa's hair.

"Can we come here every day?" syifa asked as she held her Omanya arm.

"Of course, this place is not far from our home" replied Janeta who really liked Annisa.

"Yes, we're home now, same with Aunt Nisa" said Janeta

"Tante Nisa, Syifa go home first, Syifa come tomorrow again" Syifa said

"Yes, be careful" Annisa said as she stroked Syifa's face.

Syifa smiled and got straight down from the chair, Syifa kissed Annisa's hand.

"Assalamu 'alaikum" said Janeta

"Wa'alaikumussalam" Annisa said, waving to Syifa.

Syifa also waved her hand, like not willing to part with the aunt she just knew today but was very fond of her.

Syifa and Omanya had already returned home, Reyhan also came home early today.

Syifa sat on the sofa watching her Papa busy with her laptop.

"Pa, Syifa wants a story" Syifa said

"What story, dear?" reyhan said as he closed his laptop, and immediately turned to face Syifa, no matter how busy he was if Syifa spoke then he would forget about anything else and listen to his daughter seriously.

"So when at the orphanage, Syifa met Aunt who had her face covered like this" Syifa told her while covering her face with her small hands, "Only her eyes were visible" she added enthusiastically

"Continue?" reyhan asked while focusing on listening to Syifa.

"The aunt continued to teach Syifa to teach Pa, tomorrow Syifa wants to study again there," said Syifa happily impatiently waiting for tomorrow.

"So Syifa has started teaching? that's very good" said Reyhan happily while stroking Syifa's head, he was proud of his daughter who had started studying.

Syifa smiled happily, and leaned back to her Papa while embracing her papa neck.

"So the aunt held Syifa like this, she was very kind Pa, her voice was soft, her hands were soft too" Syifa said

"Oh yeah? Surely the aunt likes children," said Reyhan who always serious if his son told me.

Syifa nodded, this was the first time Syifa had told her fondness about another woman other than Omanya, because all this time she had only been close to her Omanya.

From a small Syifa never got the love of a mother, so meeting a good woman has made Reyhan's inner happiness

When Azan Magrib arrived, as usual Reyhan and Syifa were ready to pray, Janeta and Pramana smiled at the two of them.

Pramana and Janeta also went into the room to pray. Their house is very far from the mosque so the prayers are often at home, very rarely Reyhan and his papa to the Mosque.

After she finished praying, Syifa kissed her Papa's hand.

"Pa, on Syifa television, saw when they prayed, her mother sat next to her child" Syifa said plainly.

"Syifa wants to be like that?" ask Reyhan

Syifa nodded enthusiastically.

"We can pray with Oma and Opa, Syifa sitting next to Oma, how?" reyhan

"Alright," said Syifa with a gloomy face, but that was not the point. He wanted to sit next to a person who could be called mama.

Reyhan looks sad looking towards Syifa, he knows what his daughter means but pretends not to know.

"Why sad because of Syifa? Syifa promised never to say that again" Syifa said when she saw her papa's sad eyes.

Reyhan rubbed Syifa's head with a smile.

"Papa is not sad," said Reyhan began to smile, "Only papa will be sad if Syifa is sad,"
