Mother To Aina

BUA 5'S

Alvin thought that after a week or so, Aina would never again talk about the beautiful aunty that only Aina knew about. But Alvin was wrong Aina was always enthusiastic about explaining the beautiful aunty who had just met had already hugged her. Alvin was astonished, if Aina had understood maybe Alvin would have said.

'Dear you are beautiful, adorable, funny, cute. So it's only natural that the person you meet wants to hug and kiss.'

But Aina definitely doesn't understand. Alvin became curious who exactly a beautiful aunty that attracted his daughter's attention. Alvin thinks the only source who can give him information is his brother-in-law.

Tonight Alvin also immediately resolved his curiosity. Because honestly Aina who always tells about aunty beautiful even believe or not the story told Aina is always the same every tell of her beautiful aunty. Sometimes alvin is tired of hearing it, come on Alvin sure Aina and the woman's meeting is not long but why can it be so memorable for Aina? Alvin decided to call Zia.

On the phone.

Source: Assalamualaikum. What's up Vin?

Alvin : Wa'alaikumsalam. Brother is there?

Zia: Not yet home Vin. Need to be the same brother?

Alvin: No brother.

Zia : Continues?

Alvin: How about you.

Zia : How?

Alvin: So gini brother. Alvin wanted to ask semingu then when Aina came to Azzam school Aina met with who the hell sister?

Zia: Hmm who?

Alvin: That's the brother who got Aina's ice cream. The one Aina called aunty beautiful.

Zia: Oh that's why?

Alvin: You know?

Zia : So if you meet again soon you may still remember. What's up, Vin?

Alvin: So gini kak ever since Aina met him. Brother believe or not Aina always told that to Alvin. Even the same story Aina repeated. And finally Aina always whined to see each other again. Alvin was confused Alvin did not know what.

Zia: Seriously Aina always told me about her?

Alvin: Seriously sis. Alvin is confused sometimes he gets whined to meet aunty beautiful.

Zia: Wait wait. If I don't get the name wrong, it's Ha.. Hanifa.. Uh not not. Hii... Hi oh Haifa yes Haifa her name is. He could recognize himself. But yes we did meet for a long time, that brother yaudah no more interaction we go he went. I didn't think it would be that effective for Aina.

Alvin: It's a wonder Alvin is too brother. Alvin told mom. In fact, said Aina was missing the figure of the mother. She's a girl, she needs a girl too. So said.

Zia: Yes really mom said. Yes even though mom, Vina and I like to take care of Aina but we can not keep 24 hours with her. I think you also need a companion Vin.

Alvin: Yeh followed her mother. Yeh, brother, what was his name?

Location: Haifa. Why do you want to be searched?

Alvin: Yes, people can only use names. Yeudah brother thank you. Over time. Can be told I'm the same brother if my wife I call you tonight gini.

Zia: Haha there is no ja. Yaudah I closed. Assalamualaikum says.

Alvin : Waalaikumsalam.

Alvin looked back.

'Haifa 's. Can you find people just by name? Alvin Alvin thought the city of Bandung residents only two families.' said Alvin monologue himself.

'Haifa, what kind of woman are you. Until once a meeting with a short duration only my son can be so interested in you.'

Alvin was still doubtful whether Aina's interest in the woman was right because Aina could feel the sincerity of the ati just because Aina so missed the figure of the woman who was able to accompany her?

Let's just let Alvin think again who knows tomorrow Aina has forgotten the woman.

Alvin's schedule today is teaching on campus.

"Assalamualaikum" Alvin said as he entered the classroom.

"Wa'alaikumsalam." replied the student/i simultaneously.

"As I scheduled last week, this week this class will present the results of the study 2 weeks ago. For those I call please prepare for the presentation."

"For the presentation this week 10 people. Namely, Rizwan, Ahmad, Alya, Alfian, Fitriani, Haikal, Hi..." Alvin hung up his words trying to remember something.

'The name is the same.' said Alvin in his heart.

"Haifa, Dini, Hisham and Son. The one I mentioned by name please prepare a sequence for your presentation. And the rest next week and the week after."

Now it's Haifa's turn, a name that Alvin has been concerned with ever since.

"Sttt is ah. Do'ain me yes. Bismillah." said Haifa before advancing forward.

Finished Haifa presented the results of her research fellow classmates looked amazed and gave an applause. But the other with Alvin.

"Enough." Alvin. 

"Who's your name?" ask Alvin.

"Haifa." Haifa replied.

No compromise without aba. Alvin tore up the paper Haifa gave him.

Haifa was shocked, the other students were no less shocked. According to his fellow students there is nothing wrong with the research Haifa did and the results presented earlier.

As a student of Haifa embarrassed and also felt unappreciated during the lecture at this place only once he saw the lecturer apply so to his students. The swearing had already accumulated in Haifa's mind. If the one in front of him is not a lecturer, perhaps a word of annoyance has come out of his mouth.

Especially when Alvin told Haifa to return to her place without any explanation.

"OK please come back. And please for the next one." said Alvin.

Haifa returned to her seat. By God, it felt like he wanted to cry. After returning to her seat Haifa directly bowed her head on the table. It is a shame to be treated so in front of the class. Dinda who was beside him could only stroke Haifa's back.

Alvin wasn't blind, he saw that. Although indeed the image of Alvin for students is a fierce lecturer, firm, stingy theoretical values etc. But Alvin never did anything like that. This is the first and maybe the last time. Because actually Alvin had a reason why he had to do that.

After finishing college, Alvin closed his class.

"Okay good meeting this week is quite so. Next week we will return with a presentation. Please everyone prepare as well as I can because I will mention it at random."

"I'm closing this week's meeting. Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered all but Haifa.

"Oh yes one more. For Haifa now come with me to the 3rd floor library" Alvin said before leaving the room. All the eyes of the class were on Haifa.

"Haifa is good, right?" ask Dinda.

"I'm okay. I met Mr. Alvin first." said Haifa.

"Judek. You heart of heart. He was afraid to go on a rampage" said Dinda.

Half-heartedly and half-mannered Haifa followed the lecturer.

The 3rd floor of the library is a place that is rarely visited except the final level students who need a journal reference or thesis.

Alvin and Haifa sat facing each other.

"What did you call me? Where are my mistakes and what should I revise?" ask Haifa to the point without seeing Alvin.

"Who is complete?" ask Alvin.

"Haifa Tazkia Shafira."

"Okay Haifa Tazkia Shafira. Earlier I apologized because my treatment in the class might have made you hurt and embarrassed."

"Just get to the point, sir" said Haifa.

"There's really no problem with your paper and research results..."

"wait. You said there was no problem? But you ripped my papers in front of the class?"

"Don't cut my words" said Alvin.

"I did it because I wanted to find an excuse to have a one-on-one conversation with you" Alvin said.

"In a way not to appreciate the work of others?" ask Haifa.

"Okay I'm sorry. I guarantee your grades in my course this semester A+." replied Alvin.

"Sorry sir. I'm not interested. I still have class after this. Excuse um. Assalamualaikum." said Haifa as soon as possible leaving Alvin.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Alvin resignedly.

Alvin was wrong, but Alvin realized that. The way is wrong, it should not be in such a way.  But his curiosity to find a figure that is often told about his daughter seems to make Alvin really should as soon as possible find out. And his affection for Aina made Alvin seem to want to grant whatever Aina asked.

How to know whether or not Haifa students this person Aina meant or not just by bringing the two together.

But how? After this there must have been only hatred from Haifa for Alvin.
