Not the Perfect Son-in-law
Chapter 8. Defamation Again
Chapter 8
Hafsah went to teach at the madrasah. His arrival was welcomed by several children who had arrived first. Learning hours for children aged PAUD and Kindergarten from 14:00 to 15:00. The woman usually arrives 30 minutes before the lesson begins. He will clean the study room and prepare all the needs for learning and teaching activities.
"Ustadzah, Adiba is naughty!" A 5-year-old boy came to complain to Hafsah.
The woman called ustadzah by her students and parents crouched down to match the height of the child. Then, stared at and on the elus of the puffed cheek with his thumb.
"Why is Adiba naughty there Aisyah?" ask Hafsah in his soft voice.
"She's taken my pencil that my father just bought yesterday after work" replied the little girl with a sad look.
Then Hafsah called a boy named Adiba. The little boy came while bowing his head. The woman looked at him with sadness. His heart ached and disappointed because there was a student who had done wrong to his friend.
"Adiba, Ustadzah would like to ask you. Aisha said that you took her pencil. Is that true?" asked Hafsah who was crouching in front of Adiba who was still down and silent.
"Not Ustadzah has often told, if we can not take the property of others. God does not like his servants who take the rights of others. Adiba already knows that, right?" Hafsah rubbed the boy's head and Adiba nodded.
"Tell me Ustadzah, why are you doing that?" ask Hafsah while rubbing Adiba's tears that fell on his cheek.
"Because everyone has a pencil like that. I also want to have," Adiba replied with a sob.
Currently being viral a pencil with the form of a small doll at the top end of the pen that symbolizes the icon of the idols of the land of ginseng. Almost all children have one or two pencils of this type.
"If you want something, you can collect your pocket money first. If it has been collected just buy the goods," said Hafsah. He did not want his students to ask his parents for something. Especially for things that don't really matter. They actually already have a pencil, but because it is viral they so follow-up buy.
Hafsah told Adiba to return Aisha's pencil. Then, told Adiba to start saving some of his pocket money to buy a pencil like his friends. He gives a piggy bank that is locked, later if it has been collected just opened.
Hafsah also tells the parents of his students not to over indulge the wishes of the children if it is not too important or necessary. He reminded parents not to educate children to live extravagantly and waste money. Buy if it is necessary and teach children to live simply.
After the Ashar Hafsah prayer, he taught elementary school-age children. He holds 1st and 2nd grade children who do need extra patience and supervision. Many raise their hands if told to educate PAUD, Kindergarten, and Elementary grade 1 and 2 children. It is precisely there that the largest and most abundant field for a teacher. Kids who don't know letters and can't read can do it all. The reward of giving this knowledge to them will continue to flow as long as the children practice it. However, many people are impatient and ignorant. They want him to teach children who already know the Hijaiyah letters or letters of the alphabet.
After Hafsah came from the madrassa he passed through the house of Bu Ratna. It was seen that the woman was looking at him cynically and showing a condescending smile to Ali's wife.
"It's barren, it turns out he's evil again!" exclaim Bu Ratna.
"Why, Miss Ratna?" ask Ms. Hesti.
"That's, Miss Ruqoyah's daughter-in-law. She could have harmed her own father-in-law" replied Ms Ratna.
"Know not yesterday Mrs Ruqoyah was taken to the hospital? His head was bleeding a lot and his head was up to the sewn," replied the middle-aged woman who was a good friend of Ruqoyah's.
"Astaghfirullahal. I just got home today, so I don't know what's going on here" said Ms. Hesti.
Hafsah came to the two middle-aged women. Then he said his greetings.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Ratna .. Ms. Hesti, it's not like that. Ms. Ratna has spread slander against me. You better apologize to me and ask God for forgiveness" Hafsah said in a soft voice. He did not speak in a harsh tone or sarcasm even though his heart ached from being slandered.
"I'm not slandering you, yeah! I speak like this because Ms. Ruqoyah herself told us who visited her earlier," Ms. Ratna replied in a snarling tone to Hafsah.
"I told Ms. Ratna that what was reported to Ms. Nesti was not true. Sacked Ms. Ratna if she doesn't trust me. My job is to remind my mother, this is also in a good way" Hafsah told Ms Ratna.
Hafsah is not the type of person who likes to talk about the mistakes of others behind him. The woman will tell her man directly so that he knows what she did was wrong and will repent immediately. Hafsah is not a saintly or arrogant person. He did it for himself and the people around him. Our duty as servants of God is to do amar makruf nahi mungkar. By reminding fellow humans it can also be a reward for us. Whether they follow our words or not is up to them. Likewise with Hafsah if he is able to do it with words and deeds. However, if it is not able to pray enough for the good for that person in the heart.

As usual before going to bed Hafsah and Ali always talk to the activities they have been living today. Both Hafsah and Ali were always honest and understanding.
"Bags should be careful of Sarah. I don't want you to flirt with him, '" said Hafsah, sulking a little because he felt jealous.
"Astaghfirullahal'adzim, O Allah, keep me from the temptations of the demons of the jinn and of men. Honey, you're the only woman you love. Pray that you are always on the path of Allah and always keep this heart just for you" Ali said with a gentle look at Hafsah.
"God's Insha, Bang. My prayers are always with you and you are always on the path of God" replied Hafsah with blushing cheeks due to the gentle touch of the husband.
"Come on, we're making a baby dede!" invite Ali while blinking one eye and that Hafsah also nodded with a face that was getting red.

Meanwhile in a luxurious house a woman was standing while holding a photo of Ali. Sarah looked lovingly at the smiling face in the camera.
"Ali, I'll make sure that you'll be mine" he said, then kissed the photo.

Can Hafsah hope be fulfilled? What would Sarah do to get Ali? follow their story, yes!
