Married to a Orphanage Girl
Chapter 3.Life at the Orphanage
Anis who is now 20 years old, because he did not continue his education to college, he was finally asked by Umi Sarrah to be a caregiver and teacher at Orphanage.
Thanks to his ability to speak English because he had taken a course for a year, he taught English to children there.
Although it felt tiring, because he had to work until night, but he had to undergo everything stoicly.
So that he does not always dissolve in his sadness when remembering the departure of his father, as well as in his mother's current indifference.
Anis is a smart girl, deep down, she also wants to continue her education.
But not wanting to owe the Nata family more, he decided to bury his hopes deeply.
Now finally, little by little he found his happiness, always staring at the faces of the children at the Panti who always smiled as if without burden.
Also occasionally he noticed Nata when he helped at Umi Sarrah's house.
...*...
Despite not getting a salary, but Anis always given pocket money by Abi Rahman, although many times refused, but the old man always forced because he knew Anis also needed to hold more money to buy his needs.
Although her mother always sends her a little money every month, but Anis never uses it, she only always checks her ATM card every time the transfer money from her mother comes in, increasing every month, he said,but Anis is confused about what the money is, if she wants to move from Panti, then she must be ready to stay alone, while she is always scared when she is really alone.
That is the reason why he still survives in Panti until now despite his age.
Since her father died ten years ago, she has been a timid child, and often shakes when she hears the sound of lightning.
As time went on, he tried to look okay even though his fear never disappeared.
Now because of her age, she was asked by Umi Sarrah and other caregivers to sleep alone, because the other children would definitely feel strange if they had to sleep with their caregivers.
Despite his fear, Amis finally gave up.
And finally get used to sleeping alone, even though always running into the children's room when it is raining and lightning.
Growing up to be an independent child when he was young, it was not easy for Anis, he often felt unexpected, because his mother could leave him in this place.
He was always sad when he saw another girl his age walking towards his campus.
He also often felt jealous when he saw other children walking around with his parents.
And every time he felt that way he had to shut himself up for hours in his room.
Other caregivers seemed to have understood the girl's habits, they could not calm or comfort, because Anis always said she would be back soon.

This morning, the children felt very happy because of the arrival of the very handsome Religious teacher.
Anis who was late coming out of her room, realized there was something different today.
The children were very enthusiastic about attending the morning class under the shade tree next to Panti.
They often study there on weekends.
Anis stared at them from the courtyard of the parlour, a happy laugh rising from the lips of their religious teacher.
Anis forgot to blink staring at Nata who was very different from usual.
One of the girls saw Anis who was standing dumbly staring at them, suddenly calling Anis to join in.
Nata turned around to look at Anis, her smile that was seen off, now disappeared from her handsome face.
Because all the children forced Anis to come with them, he finally complied, even though Nata would not like his presence.
..."Mr. Guru, there's our English Teacher..."...
..."Uh yeah kids..."...
..."Assalamualaik..."...
Sapa Nata to Anis with little force.
..."Waalaikumsalm"...
..."Brother Anis stands next to Mr. Guru dong, let us not be tired of muter-muter heads."...
Anis who stood very far away from them, stepped slowly towards where Gilang stood.
All the children were cheering because they looked very harmonious when standing side by side.
Nata was wrong with his own behavior.
..."Our children learn it right yes, do not play games, if you want to joke a lot later when it is finished learning."...
..."I'm asking you to please, share this with them, so that you look like you can work together..." Nata suddenly spoke to Anis....
Anis wordlessly took only a few sheets of pictures of the mosque that had not been colored and some papers that resembled test sheets from Nata's hands and distributed to the foster children there.
Nata then asked Anis to help those under the age of eight to color the picture, and let the older children to work on a sheet containing easy questions.
Nata watched Anis for a moment who was serious about helping the children, then again lowered his gaze, staring at the answer paper before him.
Some children have already collected their duties.
Nata was still waiting for the others to finish collecting.
The finished Anis helped color, collect the now colored paper, and then stack it in front of Nata.
..."Please help give value." Say Nata again....
Anis then sat down beside Nata nervously.
They sat down with a small table in front of them.
Anis scored on the test paper, while Nata assessed the already-coloured images.
Already done...
Anis was asked to re-share the children's value results.
Make the kids cheer again because of their good grades.
..."Children, now that the learning is over, next week I will return to teach you, because the nanny who teaches Religion will return home temporarily"...
..."Yee cool, we like to be taught the same Mr. Guru handsome like Mr..."...
..."You guys happy?"...
..."It's a pleasure, Master..."...
..."Do you want to be taught to you again?"...
..."Want dong sir..."...
..."If you want, from now on you have to study well, and meet Mr. when you will enter High School later."...
..."Well, still long dong sir."...
..."That's why you have to be passionate about learning..."...
..."Okay sir..."...
..."Then you say yes, Assalamualaikum."...
..."Waalaikum..." Answer them in unison....
Likewise with Anis, whose voice is almost inaudible.
Nata turned to repeat his greeting to Anis.
..."Assalamualaikum."...
..."Uh yes Waalaikumsalam..."...
Nata left them there.
Then Anis took over to give them an extra class today.
They learn while playing as usual.
Anis has always been good at adjusting to children, and those around her, because of all the sadness she felt and kept to herself.
This makes it liked by the children of the old and new home.
They even forbid Anis to marry or go away from the orphanage.
Umi Sarrah is very fond of Anis, although Umi Sarrah also has a daughter who is still sitting on the bench of High School.
