Happiness Does Not Have to be Rich
Clarifications

Zahra and Rayyan entered the teacher's room because there was no entrance bell. The gazes of the few teachers who had spread the rumors were getting sharper as Zahra and Rayyan came simultaneously.

" Assalamu'alaikum." said Zahra.

" Wa'alaikumsalam.." they answered flatly.

Reno and Almira followed behind them and sat down at their respective places. They look awkward with the atmosphere this morning when it looks very bright outside.

" Zahra ma'am... was walking the same as Rayyan sir?" chattering one of the female teachers in the corner of the room.

" Mmm. Yes, ma'am." replied Zahra briefly.

" So much more, not just to know?"

Rayyan who knew the direction of the next conversation immediately stood up by looking at the woman who continued to corner Zahra.

" I'm sorry before... Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. I want to explain the problem of gossip circulating in this school." said Rayyan firmly.

Zahra was getting scared if the matter got any longer. If this rumor spreads to the parents of students, the name of this school will be contaminated.

" O God, may Mr. Rayyan overcome all these problems." - Zahra.

" What explanation, sir? It's obvious that Zahra's mom is married, but she's still in touch with you." That teacher Sarah.

" You work in an educational setting, but your speech is like someone who has never been educated." Rayyan's circus.

Rayyan was furious to beat up the teacher. Fortunately, women, if men must have been battered in his hands.

" Mrs Sarah...! Watch what you say. You don't know the truth, don't spread slander!" growled Almira."

" My time is not much, so I will explain my relationship with Ms. Zahra. This is my sister-in-law, because I am Azzam's brother Zahra's husband." Rayyan said.

" Really...? What is your word to believe, Mr Rayyan?"

" Of course, Azzam is my brother. We moved from Jakarta to the city. We were in a difficult situation at the time, so we rarely met. But we were still in active communication and sometimes met when my sister drove vegetables into town."

Zahra looked at Rayyan in disbelief. Could Rayyan and her husband be brothers? Why hasn't Azzam told me so far that he still has relatives?

" Therefore, I beg the father and mother teachers all not to spread hoax news in this school environment. Do not let the image of this school tarnished because of the work of educators who do not have attitude." Rayyan stressed again.

Along with that, an entrance sign bell rang. Rayyan immediately picked up the textbooks on her desk and sauntered out of the room with her face looking cold and haughty. In contrast to his nature when with children, Rayyan looks very friendly and likes to smile.

" za... Why didn't you tell me from yesterday that Mr. Rayyan was your brother-in-law?" ask Mira curiously.

" Hehehee. will be mistaken for nepotism" replied Zahra.

" O God, Za... You think we're an office!" pissed Mira.

" It's... In there! Watch out don't be mad at the kids!" zahra.

" So, Miss teacher!"

Twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Zahra and Rayyan prepared to go home. Although Zahra's teaching hours were only up to half-eleven hours, he at some point replaced other teachers who could not attend.

" Zahras... I'll take yuk home?" bring Mira.

" No need, Mir. I went home with Mr. Rayyan, pity that he walked alone because the bike was taken Mas Azzam."

" It's okay, Za... I can go home by myself, sorry Rama is waiting at home" Rayyan said.

" But, Bang... We left together."

" Mr. Rayyan is the same as me, all of us let us know where Mr. Rayyan lives" said Reno who just joined.

" Surely, we can gather - gather mumpung today I have no activities." said Mira.

" It's up to you, what matters is that there's food" Reno said.

" Yes, before we go home we stop by the market. Zahra and Ms. Mira can go home first to be ready - ready to cook." said Rayyan.

" We're both shopping, Mr Rayyan?" reno asked in shock because he had never entered the market.

" Why Mr Reno? There is nothing wrong with us shopping, maybe this is a beginning so that someday we are accustomed to when we have a family. There are times when the wife's duties must be done by the husband as well." Rayyan replied.

Charisma emanated from Rayyan's face makes anyone who sees it must be amazed. Even when he was serious, he looked very cold and haughty.

" Ish. sir Rayyan so sweet, the ideal husband." said Mira while grinning.

" Mira...!" tegur Reno doesn't like it.

" Already - already... Come home! Very comfortable being a resident of the school." said Zahra.

" Mr. Rayyan.. Why buy so many groceries?" ask Reno.

" This is for stock the next few days. Let Zahra be the cook." Rayyan replied.

" Here I help you bring, sir. It's a lot of shopping."

" Thank you, Mr. Reno. Then immediately taken to the bike first, I want to buy fruit first for Rama."

After shopping, they went home with a lot of luggage. The people who saw were astonished because there were two handsome and neat men entering the market and shopping for vegetables.

Arriving home, Rayyan immediately put groceries at Zahra's house. There was only Rama and a young man playing.

" Assalamu'alaikum." Rayyan and Reno said.

" Wa'alaikumsalam." replied the young man.

" Gus, where's Zahra?" ask Rayyan.

" It's inside, Bang's with his friend."

" You just got back from the rice field?"

" It's been since, Bang. It's just waiting for Mas Azzam to come home."

" No need to wait, Azzam came home tonight."

" Night home...? I didn't say it was a long time ago."

" Just go home, let my Rama take care of me."

" Yes, Bang. Thank you, I'll go home first."

While Rayyan enters carrying groceries, Reno plays with Rama. They look familiar because Zahra often takes Rama to school.

" Za, this is you save the food that is not cooked. Let me clean the chicken first" Rayyan said.

" What do you want to cook, Bang...?" ask Zahra.

" Chicken soy sauce is the same as capcay. I cooked rice, right?"

" Us. Oh right, Agus is still ahead?"

" Home home, Rama again play with Mr. Reno."

Almira peels onions to make seasonings while occasionally wiping her tears. His face was like a lohan fish.

" Mum Mira, why frown? Another broken heart, huh?" ledek Rayyan's.

" Ish. where there is a broken heart, this is because of the onions that you bought." murmured Mira.

" What's wrong with onions, Mira?"

" Hehehee. already, don't go on. You menemenin Pak Reno with Rama in front." said Zahra mediate.

" Thank you, bestie.you're my best friend." Mira ran out of the kitchen.

Rayyan was surprised by the behavior of Mira who now smiled widely, but her face was pouting while crying.

" It's no wonder Almira can't cook and never goes to the kitchen" Zahra said.

" Mash Allah... I think she just broke up." said Rayyan, shaking her head.

" Can you cook?"

" It can, although it's not good either. Because I think cooking alone is more hygienic."

Almost an hour later their cooking was ripe and they ate together voraciously. Zahra also invited Agus and Cahyo to eat together.
