Only Raised Children
79. Pilgrimage

Today Thomas and his wife and Santi with their husband will go to visit Zaki's grave. Because of Thomas and Zara's guilt about Zaki's departure, they wanted to make a pilgrimage to the man's tomb to apologize and pray. 

They promised to meet in front of the funeral and when Santi arrived first there with her husband. Ten minutes later Thomas and Zara arrive. Without waiting for a long time they went straight into the cemetery and immediately headed for Zaki's tomb.

Right next to the tomb belonging to Zaki Aditya, Thomas and Zara crouched there. They stroked the black-colored headstone while shedding their tears. Especially for Thomas, he was very unexpected if this ladder had to make a man who had been chasing his wife was underground that they were currently on.

"Zaki, I'm sorry. I'm sorry my emotions had to make you lie here. If I had known that you had a history of heart disease, I might not have been that hard on you back then."

It was a moment before Thomas spoke again. 

"I should have put you in prison then, instead of judging you alone. If only I had reported you to the authorities at that time, you might not be here at this time. You will still be living with your family. I'm sorry, Zaki," cried Thomas softly.

Zara who was beside him was speechless, she just kept silent while regretting the decision they had taken decades ago.

After being content to apologize in front of Zaki's grave, Thomas and the others now chant prayers together before leaving the meal. When they finished praying, they went from there to go home.

"Sister Thomas, Zara, where does Aura eat? Can we go visit him?" santi asked as they were in front of the funeral gate.

"Aura we buried near the tomb of Thomas's family," Zara said to answer Santi's question. "Will you go there now?"

Santi looked at Irfan first, after Irfan nodded his head then he said Zara.

Now they got into their cars and rushed to Aura's tomb in tandem.

***

Two days later, the inauguration of ZW Corps, Alina and her family will go to a mall to shop to prepare for their appearance at the company event later. 

Alfian and Morgan were unable to join the family at the time because they were both taking care of something in the office while looking at the construction of a house for their parents. They only entrusted Alina and Marissa to choose their clothes.

Arriving at a mall, Alina and her family headed straight to one of the boutiques. There, Alina and Marisa are seen choosing clothes for themselves, while their parents are sitting in a chair provided by the boutique while keeping Marissa's child who is actively walking. 

They will take turns choosing clothes because it will be very troublesome if Lala follows their activities.

"Sister, this dress is good if I wear it the day after tomorrow?" alina asked while showing one of the gray dresses to Marissa.

"Are you sure you want to wear this dress, Al? His back is too open, not that Rico doesn't like you to wear open clothes, huh?" marissa said reminding. 

Alina did have time to tell Marissa about Rico who did not like to use open clothes like on the beach a few weeks ago. By force, Alina grabbed back the dress that Marissa held. It is true that the dress is slightly open on the back, but Alina really likes the front model of the dress. But rather than later wear a suit to his body like when on the beach a few weeks ago, he better look for another model dress only. 

"I like the model. Why also Rico does not like clothes like this, even though it is beautiful. She should be proud of her boyfriend wearing such beautiful clothes" Alina murmured in her heart. 

"Al, what if you wear this dress, good isn't it?" asked Marissa who showed Alina one of the peach-colored dresses above the knee.

Just saw her at a glance Alina had already frowned. The dress is very short and has a body-shaping model, they are not currently in London, obviously such clothes will invite a lot of eyes of the men.

"Sister, you don't have to be weird. If you were in London yesterday you could probably wear clothes like that because there is no Fian bang. Now is there a bang Fian, Big Brother want to bang Fian angry at seeing Big Brother dressed sexy like that? After all, my sister has become mothers, not girls anymore, why wear such clothes. That outfit suits him better if I'm the one wearing it. Just look for another one," said Alina giving advice.

"You won't be allowed by Rico either, because your boyfriend is possessive" said Marissa, who disagrees with Alina's words about her being a mother. Even though what his sister said was true, but the words of mothers seemed to describe if he was old. He is still young despite having children.

Alina chuckled at the words of her sister-in-law. "We mean the same dong. Yaudah look for another, brother."

Marissa let out a sigh, thinking about what Alina said about her husband who might not like her wearing such clothes she was forced to put them back on. After an hour of searching for a dress, Alina finally chose a knee-length dress with short arms. The dress has a model that follows the shape of the body and for Alina's ideal body will definitely be very suitable if she wears it. The dress model is almost the same as the one Marissa took earlier, but it will not matter if she wears it.

While Marissa herself, she chose a sleeveless dress with knee length. After getting her choice, they immediately looked for clothes for Alfian and Morgan. Five minutes of searching, but they did not find any clothes that fit the two men. Eventually Alina and Marissa decide to find clothes for Morgan and Alfian elsewhere.

It is Thomas and Zara's turn to choose the outfit, while Alina and Marissa take turns to keep Lala asleep. 

"You guys why so long choose clothes just like that, up to an hour later," said Thomas who began to get tired of just waiting for his two children who do not remember the time if they had been shopping. 

"The name is also a woman, Pa, must be long if shopping.will have to be chosen first which is suitable or not, Papa himself will know because it often accompanies Mama shopping," said Alina reasoned.

"That was when Mom was young. If it is not this long dong," said Zara later.

"Yes we're young, dear Mama" said Alina again with a chuckle.

Thomas and Zara shook their heads, while Marissa only smiled amusedly at her sister-in-law who kept dodging.
