Ali And Erika

"assalamualaikum.eh there is beautiful Erika Ma'am here" I turned to the source of the voice and found Dika and Soni standing at the door of the copration.

"waalaikumsalam wr.wb.... would you like to buy?"

"iya Bu Er we want to buy HVS paper "Soni

"how many?"

I began to look for the existence of the paper that my students meant.

"how much is this?" I said after I found it.

"five each Ma'am I'm five soni five"

"ok be ten yeah"

"yuuup"

I counted sheet by sheet the plain white paper.

"this"

"so how many ma'am?"

"then she's Miss Erika does not know how much the price is because Miss Linda again behind the clean-up"

"yes, Mom, we paid this way first if Madam Linda has returned when we asked again" said Soni while handing me a bill of ten thousand

"it's up to you" I keep the money under the thick HVS paper.

"yes, ma'am, we'll excuse assalamualaikum..."

"waalaikumsalam.wc..."

"Bu Er later if less call Dika ya ma'am" shouted Dika while leaving the copration

"the child's basics"

I glanced at my watch

"it should be this hour..."

tet....

"it's just happened" I haven't finished my words but it's already happened.

I looked out the window of my room there were many princesses with all their activities on the day that was almost this afternoon. Some are sweeping pickets and mopping, some are still napping there are also those who are lined up looking for head lice. This is the one that makes me not want to leave this village and choose to accompany my brother, which is the atmosphere of the cottage that is never deserted, my eyes were still busy sweeping the gaze before me which then caught one of the figures of a girl sitting alone in the garden of the cottage crying.

*who was crying there*?

I was determined to approach the boy who turned out to be Alisyah.

"nor? Alisyah pa pa pa "she said as she rubbed her tears soaked the child's puffed cheeks, I then sat down with her trying to remove the stiff impression between teacher and student, I said, I want him to be able to think of me as a friend in order to freely tell stories.

"ning used to be far away from her parents even further away from you"

"where is ning" asked Alisyah began to be interested

"was in Cairo"

"Egypt?"

I nodded

"didn't want to go home?"

"so keen ning inget purpose abah lecturing ning here, abah want his son to understand the science of religion well so that later in the afterlife ning no trouble to enter heaven, abah want his son understand the science of religion well so that later in the afterlife ning not trouble to enter heaven, his mother had died a long time ago and that was also what made ning strong and survive there. Abah said that she did not want anything she wanted to just send prayers and read al-Qur'an many verses"

"ning can learn from kyai"

"yes heh but abah also wants his children to be children who do not lose in the sense of loss because they do not learn science, in Islam it has been said that studying knowledge is mandatory for everyone, both male and female. You've heard it too, haven't you?"

Alisha nodded in understanding what I said.

"so if you're just feeling depressed and feeling that your parents are punishing you then it will only make you sad and tormented, try to start making peace with the situation and try to welcome everyone here for sure you will not want to go home later"

"iya ning Alisyah will try "

"just slow down you must be happy because there are many friends who are the same age as you"
