After Married
STARTLED
“Assalamu’alaikum ..” said Mang Dede when he reached the main doorstep of Fadhil.
“Wa'alaikumsalam ..” replied the people who were in the room.
A waiter invited his two guests to join the other guests immediately. For a while, Zein who had daydreamed had also sat there. But the direction of his gaze remained towards Nisa and Zi.
The woman in front of him looks more beautiful than the photo in his house. She is also fixated on the beauty charm of Nisa's.
Mang Dede again had to nudge Zein's arm to get him back in his consciousness. Zein who was glared at by Mang Dede was embarrassed for a moment. Fortunately, there was a mask that covered his face. So as to make it a little helped, at least his reddened face will not be seen.
The morning show began immediately. The baby is now in the arms of his father, Fadhil. While Nisa and the audience chanted sholawat for Aaron. Then Fadhil surrounded the guests who were holed up while carrying Aaron.
As he went around, Zein who was also in the hospital still stole a look at Nisa. Sometimes he also saw his son who now looks different and is not a toddler anymore but has grown into a handsome boy.
I don't know why it feels like there's a disconnect going on in his heart. He has no memory of his past.
From a distance, both families of Nisa and Fadhil were happy about the event that took place this morning.
“Hopefully you can be happy forever son,” the heartfelt prayer he offered from Mother Nisa for her daughter.
Nisa's mother knows very well how Nisa's life journey. Many things he has sacrificed all this time just to make his parents happy.
“Now you also deserve to be happy dear,” he said in his heart.
No tears had washed the two old eyes. His age is no longer young makes him easily touched, especially considering Nisa.
“Bu, don't cry.”
He rubbed his wife's tears and clasped one of her hands. Both eyes radiate strength so that the wife can be sincere and happy for the birthday of Aaron.
"Yes sir."
Likewise with Mang Dede who was also touched by the things that happened in front of him.
“If Mr. Zein were there, surely I would be happier, his Inner”.
Then afterwards the event continued with the Aqiqah Aaron event. Nisa and Fadhil did indeed aqiqahi Aaron right on the seventh day of his birth.
As long as they can, they speed it up. Same with the birth of Zi. Nisa and Zein also did the same for her first son.

Linguistically, aqiqah means “cut” derived from arabic “al-qat’u”.
According to the term, aqiqah is the process of slaughtering livestock on the seventh day after the baby is born.
Based on the interpretation of most of the scholars who are considered the most powerful, the legal aqiqah is a fed up sunnah. Aqiqah becomes an important and preferred worship.
If able to do so, parents are strongly encouraged to do their children's aqiqah while still an infant.
However, for those who are unable to carry it out, the aqiqah can be left without sin.
"All the children were mortgaged by his tainted aqiqah on the seventh day, shaved his hair, and given a name." (HR Ahmad 20722, At-Turmudzi 1605 and rated shahih by Al-Albani).
In a hadith it is said, "The slaughter of aqiqah animals can be the 7th day, the 14th day, or the 21st day." This hadith is considered as the hadith of the shahih by some scholars.
From the hadith narrated, "Who of you who likes to slaughter the birth of a child then do it, a boy of two goats that are quite conditional, a daughter with one tail" (HR Ahmad, Abu Dawun, Abu Dawun, S-nasaa-i).
Indeed, the procedure for the implementation of aqiqah between boys and girls is the same.
The only difference is in the number of animals slaughtered.
In boys must be 2 goats that are as peaceful or both similar (the same age, the same type, the same size).
If not exactly the same, at least close. Meanwhile, for girls the number of animals aqiqah only 1 goat only.

For some reason during the process, Nisa was unable to hide her taste. Not to mention the memories of her husband now re-emerged to fill her whole heart.
She remembers her first time being a mother. The same thing happened for the second time.
Fadhil who knew it then embraced his wife and rewarded the kisses of love at the head of Nisa.
While Zi somehow came from where now he had rushed to hug his parents. The three men looked very happy. But a moment later Mang Dede and Zein began to approach Nisa.
"Excuse me Madam .." said Mang Dede.
"Yes ..." Nisa also began to look towards the source of the sound.
Mang Dede then removed the mask he was wearing.
Nisa then smiled, "Oh my goodness Mang Dede .." he said kindly.
"Congratulations Madam for the birth of her second son."
Mang Dede then handed over a paper bag as a gift for Aaron's birth.
"Thank you very much Mang, oh yes this is Mas Fadhil and this is Zi." he said introducing the people he loved very much.
The two men from different generations shook hands and smiled. So did Zi who looked friendly to Mang Dede.
"Thank you for bothering to come here, oh who is this?"
Fadhil asked when he realized that Mang Dede did not come alone but with other people.
Mang Dede turned his head towards Zein who was then taken in by Zein. He aligned himself alongside Mang Dede and ventured to shake hands with Fadhil and Nisa.
"Congratulations for the birth of his second son" he said, followed by a helping hand from him.
"Thank you..."
Then Zein took off the mask right in front of Nisa.
"Congratulations to the birth of his second son..."
Nisa's mouth opened wide when she saw the figure of the man standing firmly in front of her. He almost fell if Fadhil did not support him.
Somehow her knees weakened when she saw her husband standing right in front of her. Fortunately, Aaron was carried by one of his grandmothers.
Fadhil who had known Nisa's ex-husband was also flabbergasted by Zein's arrival before their eyes. How could this have happened because Zein had already been declared missing a few years ago.
But certainly the fear of losing Nisa for the second time re-emerged in Fadhil's heart.
He also ventured to greet someone in front of him.
"City ..."
