Islam Learning Fasting
96. Welcome

2 Years Later...

A thunderous sound of applause was heard after Islam cut the ribbon to inaugurate a three-story restaurant named Islamic Restaurant.

Here there are not only guests but also the founders of boarding schools who came, such as Abah Habib, Umma Nur, Akbir, ustazah Fitri, ustad Hasim, ustad Firdaus, ustad Faizal, Rahman, Grandma Una, Grandma Sia, Katrin, Sarifuddin and the three friends of Islam, Abirama, Kristian, Ali and not to miss Ali's wife who remained loyal to his camera.

Islam smiled as Roses and Akbar gave her a warm embrace and pride in Islam.

Islam looked at his wife, Khadijah who was smiling. Islam kissed his left cheek and right and then he lowered his head to kiss the stomach of his wife who had conceived a baby from Islam who was now seven months old.

Everyone stepped inside the restaurant and enjoyed the dishes that had been prepared there.

"Welcome to an Islamic restaurant!!! There are no pigs here!!!" shouted Ali who was showing the menu board on the side of the road.

"You're the right tea by the way, man," said Kristian.

"Well, there's really no pig."

"But you tea need not be called! People can misunderstand."

Abirama shook her head, these two men were always arguing.

"Father!!!" the sound of a small child was heard making everyone turn to look at the boy who ran over to Ali.

Ali smiled and hugged the boy. Well, the boy was the son of Ali, his name Alfa who was just over a year old.

"It's a boil, it's a big one, it's the tadpole of Ali," said Abirama who pinched the cheek softly Alfa.

"Don't follow your Papa, Dad! Papa you don't really care" said Kristian.

"Eh, how delicious. I've been medicated time."

"Alhamdulillah," they said compactly.

"Well, when are you getting married?" tanya Islam made Christians and Abirama scratch their heads.

"Well let you have a boy like me. Noh kayak the Islam already has a pig-to-be"

"Baby moron!" tegur Islam's.

"Crazy, he said he had repented" said Abirama.

"My innocence."

"Nih, you wait for my son to come out later continue thud your son."

"Wow, danger."

The atmosphere of the restaurant is now so very crowded with the arrival of guests who arrive non-stop. Abirama, Kristian Ali and Sarifuddin are among the waiters in this restaurant complete with white uniforms specifically for the waiter.

Regarding with Sarifuddin, Sarifuddin now lives together with the Akbir family and Akbir has raised Sarifuddin to be his adopted son.

Akbir has also decided to build a house right next to Akbar's house so that they do not feel far away.

Thanks to Akbir now Sarifuddin has sat on the bench of college to realize his ideals to become a member of the DPR.

As long as Sarifuddin was their son, his life changed. Sarifuddin can again feel the feeling of having a complete family.

Sarifuddin smiled shyly as Aisyah turned her head and joined in smiling, since then Sarifuddin kept looking at her non-stop. Girl berparas bule who is now a girl loved by Sarifuddin.

Sarifuddin ran and grabbed a lamp containing a dirty glass raised by Aisyah.

"Here let's take Ana."

"No need, aki."

"It's okay just ana!"

Aisyah smiled as the crossbar had managed to change hands to Sarifuddin's hands. Sarifuddin took him away with a happy feeling.

"A lot of it, yeah."

"Yes" said Kristian, making Abirama look.

"What restaurant?"

"Name it's a Christian restaurant."

"Wow, it's good to have all the pigs. Then I would, too, call it a Hindu restaurant."

"asians."

Kristian and Abirama laughed. The plan seems pretty good too.

Katrin who was stepping was stopping her steps after she accidentally bumped into someone making her quickly turn her head.

Katrin frowned at Rahman who seemed to point at her as if she knew Katrin.

"Catrin!" Show Rahman.

Katrin stared from the tip of her foot to the end of Rahman's hair.

"Lo Rahman, yeah!" Show Katrin.

Well, they know each other because they have been friends since childhood and education is what separates them. Katrin used to be a santriwati in the pesantren and Rahman was a santri in the pesantren as well until Katrin decided to continue his education in Jakarta and Rahman continued his education in Saudi Arabia.

They are three friends and the other is Khadijah who has now become the mother of the fetus that is being conceived.

"How are you doing, eh?" ask Rahman.

"Allah be good if how?"

"Good thanks, too, thank God. Emmm, are you married?" rahman asked Katrin to laugh.

"Not yet, if lo?"

"Not yet" Rahman replied, shaking his head with a smile.

The mood has become awkward. It feels shame if they remember their childhood who always played in the river without wearing clothes because they wanted to play water.

For Katrin, Rahman was a friend who always carried her while Khadija always cried behind because she was not carried by Rahman. It's ridiculous to talk about their little story.

Islam smiled at the crowd of his restaurant. Rahman chatted with Katrin, Ali was busy holding her baby with a depressed face while his wife, Kia, was busy with her camera.

Abirama and Kristian were busy serving some guests, the ustad was busy talking with Abah Habib who was always faithfully accompanied by Umma Nur while Akbir and his wife, who was always faithful, were accompanied by Umma Nur, ustazah Fitri was sitting at the dining table facing Akbar and Roses while occasionally laughing.

Akbir and Ustazah Fitri have now also felt very happy because Sarifuddin has become his son so they can feel the taste of having children, their dreams are the most wanted so far.

Islam stepped closer to Khadijah who was outside the restaurant.

"Why?" ask Khadijah.

Khadijah smiled and shook his head. He could not express this happy feeling with a word, this was not the end of this story. This story is long.

Islam embraced his wife's body and he kneeled to the stomach of his wife who he kissed with love every minute.

"Two months, son. In two months we will meet. Wellcome to the world later, son and welcome to Islamic restaurant."

Islam got up and stepped inside the restaurant while wrapping his hands around Khadijah's waist in a happy feeling.

The unrelenting happiness of Islam proposes to God for giving him this wonderful happiness.

The most beautiful memory for Islam is his memory when learning to fast in pesantren and later if his baby has grown then Islam promises to educate him with religious values and more importantly is learning fastings.

Well, enough Islam who learned fasting in his adult age, no need for his son and Islam will teach fasting to his son later like Sarifuddin, he said, the most admired Muslim man in his life who fasted at the age of five years.

Without Sarifuddin, Islam is now ready.

And for Sarifuddin welcome to Abah Habib's extended family with Umma Nur.

And for you! You are the one who is staring at this writing.

Welcome to the end of the Islamic story of learning fasting.
