Eps 94 - The Warmth of a Family
The event was closed with a prayer reading from the grandfather who was simultaneously prepared by his Firda congregation.
"Oh Allah, take care of our descendants who are growing in the womb of Paradise"
"Aamiin..."
"May he be born healthy and perfect into this world..."
"Aamiin..."
"May he grow up to be a sholehah child, devout in religion and devoted to parents"
"Aamiin..."
"May he be the encouragement of both his parents, may he be the cure of all the pain of both his parents"
"Aamiin..."
Gio was pensive and he glanced at everyone who was now raising their hands with their eyes closed, they seemed to pray so fervently and it made Gio's heart even thump.
After the show was over, it was time for them to eat together. Once again the servants felt strange because now their great master and his family even followed the meal on the floor with them.
Gabriel and Gio unwittingly enjoy the warmth, where they forget the problems they are going through, forget their burdens and feel so free.
What's more when he saw the joy on Firda's face while in the middle of his family, his laughter made Gabriel and Gio equally unable to hide the smile on their lips.
"Fir, he said you want BBQ an, why even order food?" ask Ummi Aisyah to her son who still enjoys her dish. In addition to the staple food, Firda also ordered some snacks for them to eat together.
"Tomorrow at night, Ummi" replied Firda.
Gabriel now moved to a sitting position, he sat next to his wife and he wiped the corner of Firda's lips as he saw the rest of the rice in the corner of his lips.
"But tomorrow afternoon we're home, Fir" continued his father who made Firda immediately glared in surprise.
"Huh? Why is it fast?" screeched Firda and then she put on her pouting face, which was irritated and also sad.
"Just go home later, Bi. Firda is still kangen" said Firda whining spoiled.
"Yes, Bi. In any case since Firda lived here, you guys have never been here" Gabriel said.
"Let me talk to Abi again, Fir. You don't pout, later your child is born pouting" her Abi seduction that makes Firda even sing her lips.
"Yes, Abi... Firda tree wants Abi Ummi same grandpa here" firda whine like a baby asking for new toys.
"Yes yes" continued his grandmother who made Firda screech happy.
After all the rest following his meal, now Firda and Gabriel went straight into their room because Firda had to rest. And so do other family members.
While the servants cleaned the dirty room, they did so while occasionally talking about the figure of the young mistress filled with surprise.
"Yes, I really didn't think. They're so humble too"
"They were also very kind and did not look at other people from her work, I did not expect earlier to be able to sit side by side and eat together with Madam Firda and her mother and grandmother"
"Yes, a good person like Madam Firda must always be happy huh"
"Yes, and surely everyone loves her. There is no way a person as good as Madame Firda is not loved"
And there's still a lot they talk about Firda, it's also heard by Gio.
Again his heart was pounding and as if he was being moved. He thought the same thing.
If Gio succeeds in killing Firda, what will happen to such a kind and humble Firda family? Think of it, what else does Gio see that the Firda family loves Firda very much.
Gio rushes to his room to calm his increasingly chaotic thoughts, between revenge and a kindness he finds hard to resist.
.........
The next morning, Gio woke up early as usual.
While the Firda family who had been awake since dawn to perform prayers, now has come out of their respective rooms and sit on the sofa in the family room.
"Gio.." call Grandpa Firda when he sees Gia coming into his room.
"Yes Sir?" Gio went straight to Firda's grandfather and revealed his friendly smile.
"Are you busy?" ask the grandfather.
"No, sir" replied Gio.
"Stop calling me Sir, Gio. Come on, sit down with us and let's have a chat. Because after this I don't know if I can see you again or not" said the grandfather who made Gio smile faintly then he sat on the sofa in front of his grandfather.
"I heard from Firda, her word is you never went to the village. Is that true?" her question and Gio nodded still maintaining his faint smile.
"I'd love to take you to the village, but you must be very busy huh" he said again.
"Yes, Sir. I'm in charge of looking after Madame Firda" Gio replied.
"Gio, stop calling me, sir. Why are you calling me master and master again. I'm too old and weak, just call me grandfather" said the grandfather. Along with that Firda also came with Gabriel.
"Good morning everyone" said Firda excited because he saw his family back, everyone answered Firda's greeting as well as others.
"Today is a family holiday, so we're all home, get together" Firda asked.
"Yes, dear" Gabriel replied happily.
As a result, they did spend time together for a day, it was very liked by Gio and Gabriel who felt the beauty of togetherness and warmth of a family.
