YUMNA AZZURA'S

27. Syifa: Schoolwork.

Lily knocked on Syifa's room door. She's a little worried because Syifa didn't come to dinner last night.

"Mama, what's your mama doing here?" asked Reyhan who had just come out of his room, in his hand was an empty glass. He wanted to get warm water for her.

"Here, Syifa didn't eat that. Mama's gonna deliver this food to Syifa."

"Oh. My mom just rest. Let me take it inside. I will also help Syifa learn" Reyhan said.

"Oh okay, though. Please Rey, papa Bima is also not feeling well, mama want to take care of papa Bima first." Lily handed Reyhan a tray of food. Reyhan just nodded. Lily goes downstairs while Reyhan knocks on Syifa's room door. There's no answer!

Reyhan pushed open the door of Syifa's unlocked room. The girl was sitting at her study desk while using earphones. His head moved up and down, his hands moving with the pen he was holding.

"Pantesan is not terrible!" Reyhan's great-grandson.

"Shyifa!" call Reyhan and knock on the door. Syifa did not answer. Reyhan stepped inside and kept a tray on Syifa's study table, right above the book he was reading.

"Ma, Syifa is defending..jar." said Syifa when she saw Reyhan. He opened the earphones from his ear.

"Omm Rey? What's the matter here?" ask Syifa wonder.

"Mom tell me to bring you food!" Reyhan. "Eat, I'll help you learn!" said Reyhan then brought Syifa's books, and she walked towards the sofa. Syifa just gawked at Reyhan's upright back.

"Quick, Syifa. It's already night!" exclaim Reyhan. Syifa brought her plate and walked over to Reyhan.

"Yes, if Rey is sleepy, go to sleep! Syifa can learn by herself!" Say Syifa while sitting down and then eating her food.

"I didn't get you to do this job this afternoon, so I'm gonna be responsible for helping you get this done!" Reyhan said again.

Syifa could do nothing, Reyhan said. After all, it was true because this man Syifa was unable to complete his task.

While eating Syifa listen to what Reyhan taught. For him, Reyhan's explanation felt easier to understand than the explanation of the teacher at his school.

Almost ten o'clock in the evening, Syifa had not been well with her duties.

"You better get some sleep, get this over with in the morning." Reyhan said, he felt sorry to see Syifa who had just kept yawning.

"Stage of Om, a little more. Syifa is ready. Still capable. Look, Syifa is still glazed over her eyes!" Syifa brought her face closer to Reyhan revealing her round eyes wide. Reyhan shook his head looking at Syifa who was so imposing herself.

"Yes, this question the answer is in this material. You read it first." point Reyhan at the page he opened. Syifa leaned back on the couch and read the book, while Reyhan was correcting the answers Syifa had been working on.

"This one's good. There are only a few..." Reyhan was silent as he watched Syifa sleeping while hugging her book on the chest.

"It's been said to me that ngeyel, you stubborn bastard!" Reyhan. He took the book from Syifa's hand and kept it on the table. "Pity too if you sleep here. Sofanya was loud." Reyhan murmured, he lifted Syifa carefully and moved her onto the bed. Cover Syifa to her chest. Syifa who was very sleepy unconscious with what happened, she just dreamed of flying in her sleep. He wriggled slowly and grabbed the edge of the blanket and held it tightly, without opening his eyes. Reyhan laughed a little. Syifa's habits have never changed.

"Just keep it?!" He went to the sofa, collected Syifa's book of duty, and took her out. Reyhan returned to his room and opened the book again. He read it carefully, and colored the important points in it using markers.

Until midnight Reyhan was still struggling with the book. He yawned several times but was kept in his custody to help Syifa's duties. It was also his fault for forcing the girl for a promise.

"Finally done too!" Reyhan. He closed the book and went outside.

Reyhan walked towards the kitchen to grab a drink that he had no time to take. An assistant also happened to be there for the same thing.

"Eh mbak's. Could you ask a little help?" Ask Reyhan.

"Yes Rey?" ask the assistant who was not far from him.

"Wait here for a minute." Reyhan said again, then he ran upstairs to his room. Soon he returned to the kitchen and handed the assistant some books.

"This is Syifa's book of duty. Please wake her at four in the morning, and give her this book. The job is not done yet!" Reyhan. The assistant received the book from Reyhan's hands and nodded.

"But why not just love yourself?" ask the assistant again.

...*...

The sound of someone made Syifa unwillingly open her eyes lazily. He squinted his eyes, wanting to know who had dared to tease him while sleeping asleep with his beautiful dreams. Syifa rubbed her eyes. The cold air made him tightly wrap his blanket around her.

"Sir, what are you doing in Syifa's room?" Tanya lazy Syifa moved out of her comfort zone.

"Sorry, Syifa. Anu... this. I was told Reyhan mas to wake up mbak Syifa. She said Syifa had to do some unfinished schoolwork."

Syifa jumped when she heard the word 'schoolwork'.

"Oh my god! I'm not done!" syifa said, then put away the blanket. He ran towards his study desk and immediately searched for his book.

"Oh yeah, on the couch!" syifa exclaimed as she remembered she had studied on the sofa last night. He ran towards the sofa, but still did not find his book there.

"Ehm... can Syifa find this? ask the assistant. He held some books in his hand and handed them to Syifa. "This loving Reyhan mas is the same as me and asked me to wake up Syifa this morning, he said Reyhan mas not good if you have to wake up Syifa, so please help me." said again.

"Yes, thank you, ma'am."

"Well, I'm back in my room." Her body was taken by Syifa.

After the assistant left Syifa decided to go to the bathroom, wash her face, then return to the study table to continue her abandoned duties.

"Eh, it's marked!" Syifa smiled happily. He read everything Reyhan had marked. Syifa nodded her head a few times. He was happy because Reyhan wasn't wrong in marking. Those are all important points that are enough to help him in learning.

Syifa paused for a moment, she felt that something was strange.

"Don't I fall asleep on the couch last night? Why did I wake up on the bed?" mumbling slowly. Then he was stunned, rounding his eyes and swallowing his saliva with great difficulty.

"Did Rey move me?!" mumbling again. Syifa was silent. "Ah done. I'll ask later. Now this task must be completed!" syifa then went back to her book.

Syifa finished her bath and prepared to go downstairs. Just as he closed the door of his room he found Reyhan doing the same.

"Of Rey!" call Syifa when Reyhan will step up. Reyhan stopped and waited for Syifa to approach him.

"Thank you all for helping you make a task, and also for giving a sign."

"Have you finished your job?" ask Reyhan.

"Yes thanks to om. I made it easy to do the job." said Syifa with a full smile on her face. "Om.. anu.. want to ask.." said Syifa in stern.

"What?" ask Reyhan.

"Umm, last night, I'll sleep on the couch. But when I woke up on the bed, what moved me?" Ask Syifa without hesitation. He looked at Reyhan waiting for an answer.

"Movement? Don't you! Look your chubby gini cheeks must be heavy." Reyhan said with a smile holding back laughter seeing the change in expression of Syifa's upset face. "Night I woke you up and you walked yourself up to the bed and brushed. Not bad?" ask Reyhan. Syifa shook her head.

"It's time!" Syifa scratched behind her ear. Feeling disbelief.

"But..."

"Yes I'm hungry. Yes first!" pamit Reyhan then went downstairs. Syifa stared at Reyhan's departure, she was still confused and half in disbelief.

"Then anyway? I thought Reyhan was picking me up. Why am I a gini?" Shifa muttered, she patted her own cheek. "Most read this comic!"
