Beloved Student Religious Teacher

Funeral

The late mother Kirana was immediately cremated and immediately brought home for burial. The cries continued to flow profusely on Zahra's cheeks. By all means Mr. Hanan's parents tried to calm him down.

"Zahra, already.. Come to your mother, and cry like this. Have pity on yourself. You've just recovered, too" son"

Zahra just cried a mouthful without answering everyone by her side at this moment.

"Zahra, come with me for a moment yuk" said Mr. Hanan.

Zahra.

"I want to talk to you for a minute"

Mama Hana finally let go of her and told her to follow Hanan, forcefully following her. They walked to Zahra's room.

"Sit down" said Mr. Hanan.

Zahra sat down and Mr. Hanan gave him a drink.

"Drink to calm you down"

Zahra complied and drank only 2 sips and gave it to Hanan again. Hanan put her on the nearest table then sat down next to her. Zahra shifted her seat to go a little further.

"Calm down, I won't do anything. I know how you feel right now. I know you are sad but at least calm yourself. You just got home from the hospital and last night you dropped. Honestly, I'm worried. I'm afraid I can't take care of you properly because now you are my responsibility. I can't calm down if your parents see their children unhappy with me. I'm gonna feel so guilty Zahra. I'm also worried you drop again, I don't have the heart to see it"

Hanan took a picture frame located on the table.

"Look at Zahra, it is so radiated from the faces of your parents that they love you so much. They want to see you happy. If you want to make them happy in heaven, at least stop crying so that your parents are calm there. And don't torture yourself, either. I could not bear to see it because of the possibility. " said Hanan stopped and sighed long.

"Maybe I've fallen in love with you"

Zahra was shocked by Hanan's statement. Hanan put the photo in her hold in her place back and left Zahra in the room. Outside Zahra's room, Hanan took a deep breath and took out slowly to neutralize her heart and mind. While Zahra only daydreamed of hearing Hanan's statement.

"Zahra where son is" asked Mama Hana.

"She's resting right now, I'm afraid she's dropping again because she's shaken up"

"True, let him rest, he needs to calm himself down. He will be called when the deceased will be buried" said papa Nanda.

In his room Zahra took a drink and immediately gulped it down. He decided to take a shower to make himself feel more refreshed.

"What Mr. Hanan said is true. I need to stop crying. No matter how hard I cry it will not be able to change the bitter reality that I am currently experiencing. The most important thing is to make both parents calm there and always make them smile in heaven, even though they were not with them, my parents forever raised me from childhood until now. And for Mr. Hanan's statement I will finish later. Come strong Zahra." he murmured while clenching his hands to strengthen his heart.

After she took a bath and changed into a white shirt, she immediately came out and found her new family waiting for her anxiously. Mama Hana who saw him immediately approached her.

"Are you any better, son" asked Mama Hana.

"Alhamdulillah already mah, Zahra's song also wants to make Zahra's parents happy there, Zahra does not want to make them not calm. And this time I'm sure, Zahra's parents must have calmed down there"

"Thank God then"

Seen from a distance, his friends and teachers also came to his house.

"Yes ma'am, thank you for all the prayers of the mother teacher and also friends"

"Tama-sama Zahra. But I'm sorry ma'am, the mother of Zahra's relatives yes" Ratna said.

"I'm Zahra's new parent"

"Sorry mom, I mean"

"He will be adopted as our son, because his parents are also close to us" said papa Nanda.

"Thank God, Zahra's not lonely now"

"Excuse the funeral will be held soon please be prepared" said Mr. Ustad.

They nodded and immediately went out to deliver the body to the cemetery. As soon as the funeral was over, the teacher and his friends also asked for permission to go home. But Zahra's new family still faithfully awaits Zahra.

"Mama, a quiet mom in heaven with dad. Always smiling there. Although I can't see the smiles on you anymore, Zahra can feel them in Zahra's heart. Goodbye, Zahra say yes mah sir, insyaallah if Zahra has free time Zahra will often look at you" said Zahra while stroking the board that was stuck on the grave of his late mother.

Zahra stood up and held the hand of Mama Hana.

"Let's get us to the car"

"You go first, I'll catch up"

They agreed and walked straight out of the cemetery, while Hanan sat between the graves of Zahra's parents.

"May you be calm in nature. Always pray for me and Zahra so that we can be happy forever. And I will try my best to make her happy and smile. Pray for us, excuse me. Assalamualaikum" Hanan said and rushed to leave the funeral.

They finally go to Zahra's house to rest for a while and intend to bring Zahra back to their home.

"Zahra, come with us. After all, all your friends and all your teachers know that you are our son now. And papa apologized earlier said you were our adopted son because in order to cover your status and Hanan as a teacher and student at school. Also because papa does not want if you get disconnected in the middle of the road." said papa Nanda.

"Yes son, come with us so that they do not suspect you and you do not have to pay this contract" said Mama Hana.

"Mama, papa thank you very much for your support and kindness. I will think about that tomorrow. If you are now it will feel very tired"

"Me and Mama will help you improve" said ka Vienna.

"No, you must be tired too, and so am I. We should rest, if mom and dad will stay here" asked Zahra.

"No, we're going home, only Hanan will stay here. Because you are the responsibility now and you cannot refuse because it is the obligation of the husband to take care of his wife" said papa Nanda.

"Now I can't dwell. I'll take it whatever the risk is" Zahra said.

Zahra just nodded in agreement.

They went home and Zahra was sitting limp in her living room while leaning on the sofa.
