On one day, when Alinka lives her new life, it's the first day she starts teaching at Fakhri's boarding school, and ustad starts introducing Alinka to other teachers, and,,

" Assalamu'alaikum.all, today I brought someone who is a new educator in this pesantren, he is none other than my own ponakan who came from the village, he said, I deliberately brought him here because his ability is enough to help all of us, who are currently thankfully santri and new students here are soaring, soaring, so automatically we need many more new educators, I will place him at the level of Madrasah earlyayah (TPA, RA and TPQ), God willing he is able to carry this mandate,, " obviously Fakhri ustad at length on his educators.. " Please Alinka introduce yourself. "the order of Fakhri "Assalamu'alaikum, and I beg his help if there are still I do not understand "said Alinka on all... and Alinka was invited to sit at her own desk in the office where all the teachers gathered.. " Hi.. My name is Rahma Guru Madrasah Ibtidaiyah ( Elementary School) said the teacher to Alinka, "Oh iyah. My name is Alinka, happy to meet you " answer Alinka kindly "Call Rahma, let it be more familiar.." said Rahma "Iyah, mbak Rahma " replied Alinka still hesitant... " Don't call me madam, do I look older than you?? We are the same age as "sahut Rahma, " Oh iyah. sorry " replied Alinka with a smile... " Oyah, are you really talking about ustad sir?? " ask Rahma, Alinka can only smile and nod... " Easy yes, you have a big sodara ustad so you are not difficult if you find work" said Rahma, "No ukhty, I was a long time unemployed in the village, too, can only help help parents at the event to teach children to teach." replied Alinka, "If I used to work before entering here as a store clerk, I would like to, but his income still did not meet the needs of my family, so I looked for another job and I found this job, this job, and from the first ideals wanted to be a teacher so I willing nerusin school first so I can enter here, and thank God after graduating S1 I can be accepted here with the task as a madrasah teacher ibtidaiyah.." Rahma's story at length... Alinka also listened to the story of rahma and talked to each other, then Alinka rushed to the classroom which contained cute and still unyu cute little children,, their boisterous voice makes one of the decorations on the first day of his Alinka teaching children TPA...

" Assalamu'alaikum.." sahut Alinka said greetings to the children who were cool with their respective busyness.and there was one of the children who saw the presence of Alinka then shouted " There's a new master teacher... !!! " spontaneously everyone looked at Alinka and Alinka waved at his students, "Hey......... How are you?? " why Alinka, the children can only look at Alinka may not be used to seeing people veiled, making them unable to say words... " Don't be afraid of your mother, because you are human, just your clothes are a little different from yours " with his friendly Alinka makes children as comfortable as possible to be near her, then there is one child asked "Mom, mother, how rich ninja?? " he innocently asked the unusual way Alinka dressed "Mother is not a ninja boy, mother is just like you and all of you, but you dress like this to be more different from others, and it's easy to remember and not easy to forget..." alinka replied confusedly afraid of his words could not be understood by children... " Now, because the new mother is here, and does not know you, so today's lesson I give the title *INTRODUCTION* first started from the mother first yes after it is continued by you guys..." sahut Alinka with full softness... " Known the mother's name is *ALINKA* the mother is from the village, and the age of the mother is 24 years.." said Alinka, "Who would ask the child?? " ask Alinka.... One child raised his hand and asked Alinka "What date was my birth?? " ask the child, "It's good to dare to ask her the sign of her great son (applause ) mother born on the 5th.." replied Alinka... then one of the other children raised their hands again to ask a question... " What month was my mother born...?? " ask the child... " Mommy was born in the month... after January what...?? " said Alinka, and all the children answered "FEBRUARY "Alinka also clapped and said "Yes right " then one of the children asked again "Is the mother married?? " a very innocent question then Alinka answered her "Mother is not married alias still has no partner" then one of the children asked again "When will the mother get married?? " his question made Alinka smile to herself "If god had willed then mother would have married ", replied Alinka... " Well we can not cepet cepet kadong gift if the marriage mother is still a long time "sahut one of the children, "If you want to give gift will still be there on the birthday of the mother, so who does niii want to give a gift if the mother's birthday...?? " ask Alinka, and the child replies "I...!!! " with his boisterous, then the introduction of one by one the students began until all turns ran out and the bell sign went home... " Well, because today the theme of the introduction so we can go home early. "said Alinka happy, then the child screams... " Yeeee.. We can go home... !!! " then they prayed and prepared to go home and greetings and kiss Alinka's hands one by one. The lesson ended with a short and cheerful although brief origin happy children,, enough they can recognize me first and then tomorrow has begun to be able to learn conducive ( muttered Alinka in the heart) then Alinka also walked in the school corridor and met with many children... they look at Alinka who is dressed differently, but Alinka tries to be liked, with Alinka greeting each child kindly and taking the time to just make a short joke with them.. Alinka arrives at the office and deviates a textbook, then Alinka sits down for a moment while looking at the file that must be learned while waiting for the second lesson to teach RA children,, who,,

Then Rahma came to "Hey.. Lin... How was the first experience here exciting, right?? " sahut Rahma, "Alhamdulillah ma'am. Exciting but funny also " replied Alinka.. " Funny how ?? " ask Rahma "Children's time at the introduction was always asking if I was married or not, indeed they already understand it. "Alinka's story while smiling "Oh that, oh that,, maybe children because of the age of you already 24 times then they are curious you are married or not, average at that age is usually married even already have children 2 " clearly Rahma, "Yes yes ma'am, I answered honestly they are still innocent," replied Alinka " Yes, we are the same children should there be aja like they "sahut Rahma "Iyah ma'am ya. " replied Alinka with a smile " It is easy to find you here, you can find your soul mate here Lin.." hope Rahma "Aamiin " Rahma and Alinka try to embrace each other... " Iyah Lin, because it should be your age cw was married "then Alinka was contemplating like something was thought... " Why Lin.. said something wrong ya kok you immediately bengong "asked Rahma "Oh. nongkak bu,, ma'am, no,, I forgot to look at the material today for TPQ children." replied Alinka as if changing the subject, "Oh. so yeah, yaudah if I live first yes, yes, yes, yes,, the break hours have begun to run out " said Rahma while saying "Oh yes ma'am please. " replied Alinka, then Alinka began to prepare textbooks back... then the lesson hours began then Alinka carried out his duties as before him. The task of teaching just after the new ashar all can go home and rest,, but Alinka after returning to the official house and then clean, pray and rest for a moment and went to the house of Fatimah Umi like his message at that time,, it turns out that Fatimah's umi called her home only to introduce Alinka to her second daughter Zainab who was not there at that time because she was in college, "Assalamu'alaikum..." sahut Alinka in front of the door of the house umi Fatimah, " Wa'alaikumussalam.." replied umi Fatimah from inside...

" ask Zainab "Iyah Zainab age I 24 years "sahut Alinka "Tuh right, not much different I 22 years " replied Zainab. then Alinka and Zainab began to be more familiar,,,, and then,,

Indeed Fakhri's family is very good and very welcome to Alinka, until Fakhri himself considers Alinka as his own child not someone else, until he thinks of Alinka as his own child, not someone else, his affection is the same as he gave to his biological children, besides that Fakhri is also a very fair person in the household, making his family into a family that is very very harmonious, even after the arrival of Alinka someone who came from outside, then Ustad Fakhri raised him as a child.
