Fifteen minutes have passed, Khadija was already fragrant with the distinctive aroma of detergent fragrance, not perfume and such. Because Khadijah does not want to spray fragrances that will cause tabarruj properties during life in the world. Where women do cover their entire aurat, but it becomes a sin when they spray the fragrances created from perfumes excessively.
“Hopefully the event will be launched tonight, Aamiin!”
Khadijah smiled behind his veil, although not clearly visible but so noticeable when Khadijah's eyes narrowed.
Khadijah carried Abizzar down, followed by Yulian from behind, carrying a stroller that had been purchased a few days ago. And deliberately the stroller was issued to lay Abizzar's tiny body there when Khadija petrified to meet the events of aqiqah and tasyakuran for Abizzar.
“How is Abdullah, have you not the goat we saw yesterday together?”
“You take it easy, Yulian. Everything is in order.” Abdullah pointed towards the two goats he had eaten.
Yulian smiled satisfied with Abdullah's work and it was time for Abdullah to deliver Hafizha to school. Because the clock is already showing at half-seven in the Scottish city. While Arjuna that day he took a holiday, because he wanted to help the Light and also Khadijah in arranging the arrangement of the event that will be held later that night.
“Ahtar please leave first, because Ahtar has a nine-hour operating schedule. Nothing, Mother... Abi?”
“Son, don't you have breakfast first? It's ready for breakfast together.” Khadijah approached Ahtar who was ready for work.
“Iya, Ahtar. You should eat breakfast first, even if only a little. Do not leave your stomach empty when running the operation later.” Yulian patted Ahtar's stomach softly.
And Ahtar could not refuse the invitation of his parents, and he took his seat as usual. When all had gathered together then Yulian recited the prayer before the meal which was prepared by all family members. After the conclusion of the prayer, the breakfast together was held.
”Ya already, Ahtar left first!”
Ahtar greeted Yulian, Khadijah, Juna, Cahaya and bik Inem. While dealing with Humaira, Ahtar only cupped his hands on his chest and he also kept his eyes very close.
“Assalamu'alaikum,” say hello Ahtar.
“Wa'alaikumsalam warohmatullahi wabarakatuh,” reply everything in unison.
Ahtar went out and headed to the front yard where he put on a motorbike that had been heated by him this morning. After that he immediately launched his motor sport with moderate speed. And then there was a pair of eyes that were ceaselessly staring at Ahtar's departure until it was no longer visible in his view.
‘Really, I can't hold it for too long. O Allah, I do not want to be Your servant who harbors hypocrisy, for it will be a sin. But I am also confused, because I cannot keep the lust that wants to envelop this heart.’
Humaira ran to her room to pick up the phone that was still on the nightstand. And the cell phone he held so tightly, even Humaira's heart suddenly argued violently.
‘Yes Allah, give me Your permission.’
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
“Mother, what if we just install the decoration over there? Then the name Abizzar we arrange evenly.” The light points towards the side of the room which is quite comfortable for invited guests when attending events.
“Bby also, Light. Yes already, let's set it together.” Khadijah nodded.
Khadijah and Light went to that room. Then everything they brought had been neatly arranged to the side of the wall as they had planned. While their men take care of two goats that will be slaughtered in accordance with the Islamic Shari'a as a requirement in the aqiqah event for men.
“Abi, help Om Abdullah hold the leg of his goat,” pinta Arjuna.
“Alright!”
All work hard with gotong royong so that the aqiqah event to be held can be finished immediately with the permission of Allah who will launch all good affairs. And they've all been preoccupied with all the arrangements of the show later. Prepare everything with full maturity.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
“Doctor, what if my husband does not survive later? Because I know his heart condition is problematic.” A middle-aged lung woman came to Ahtar with a twinkle of her own eyes.
The worry of a wife when her husband is hit by a hard pain can not be denied even covered. And the middle-aged lung woman showed her concern when the operation was going to be carried out by Ahtar.
“Oh Mother, I knew I was just a doctor who could treat my patients. But it is all by the will and permission of God, if it is not His will then God is entitled to take back the body of the husband Mother.”
“Mother, I think Mom is a Muslim. I'm sure you know what you have to do right now. Asking God for your husband to be healed through me.”
With a word that does not diminish his manners, Ahtar tried to convince Mother Malika to believe in God's destiny. Because no matter how much effort the medical team that runs the operation under the leadership of Ahtar will be in vain if God has other wills.
“Yes, the doctor is right. I will pray to God to launch his surgery and hopefully my husband can be cured.” Malika's mother nodded.
Ahtar entered the operating room and asked his members to prepare. For three hours, Ahtar stood up to save the lives of his patients, until God allowed Ahtar to heal his patients.
“Alhamdulillah,” pekik Ahtar.
Finally Ahtar's work testing her adrenals is over. Now he washes his hands and changes his clothes with the clothes he was wearing.
‘Humaira? Why so many messages from him? Oh my God, I dare not open it. But.. not good too if I ignore it.’
Humaira sent five messages to Ahtar's mobile number. And a series of messages that made Ahtar feel curious about the contents. With the reading of the basmalah Ahtar opened one by one the message.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
“Alhamdulillah, finally the goat has been cleaned. Now it's just left to Uncle Malik to be cooked immediately.” Arjuna breathed a sigh of relief.
Arjuna, Yulian and Abdullah brought the goat into the kitchen and gave it to Malik who works as a very reliable cook. Each cuisine created has its own distinctive for uncle Malik.
“What to help?” ask Yulian to make sure.
Yulian looked at Khadijah and Light who were still busy decorating every corner of the house with some flowers, then Yulian's feet stepped up to offer them help. Because Yulian did not want his wife to be too busy to ignore Abizzar who was still on the stroller.
“No, Abi. It's just a little stay, just fix the flowers.” The Light then.
“Yes already, the good women .. please you guys step back so that we men nisa. take your place. Look at Neng Khadijah, Abizzar may be tired of being in the stroller. And Light, look bik Inem, since it's been guarding Guard.” Yulian pointed towards where the little boy was.
Only then did the two great women realize their negligence, having realized that they both condemned the foolishness they had done. And immediately Khadijah and the Light reached Abizzar and the Guard in their arms.
“Im sorry Mother yes, dear. Mommy is negligent.. now is the time for you to drink milk first,” said Khadijah.
“Yes Allah, He's a good man. A man who is able to take care of his heart and attitude of women who are sometimes jealous. And I as the woman have been lucky.” Khadija was ceaselessly staring at Yupian with a loving look inside.
Yulian, Arjuna, Abdullah and Ahtar greeted all the guests who had been present at the Yulian residence to attend the aqiqah and tasyakuran. And by then they had all been shocked by the presence of Papa Adhi.
“Assalamu'alaikum,” say hello from Papa Adhi.
“Wa'alaikumsalam,” answer the whole house in unison.
At once Yulian, Arjuna, Ahtar and Abdullah greeted the elder Adhi. And soon the show was held with some short and sholawatan letter readings.
During the dinner with the guests of Humaira netra invitation again looking for the existence of Ahtar. And the curiosity was so stirred up because the message he sent to Ahtar's phone was not a single reply from his heart.
‘Bang Ahtar, why didn't you reply to any of my messages? Do you know Bang, my heart is restless.’ Humaira monologues in heart.
“So, find out who's doing such a dick?”
Hafizha's question really blew Humaira's daydream. Even his gaze was immediately diverted, and Humaira turned to the direction where Hafizha was standing on her right side. Because Humaira did not want Hafizha to know that he was looking for the existence of Ahtar who somehow Ahtar took a seat.
“Eh... You are the most like to surprise big brother.” Humaira pretended on the grounds of her alibi.
“Ya... Izha did not mean to ngagetin kak Humaira anyway, but Izha saw kak Humaira dingukan kayak looking for someone so. So yes Izha just ask brother Humaira looking for who?”
“No, coke. Sister is not looking for anyone, just make sure that all the guests have been to the food. Not good right, later if there is no food.” Humaira gave an excuse with her alibi.
“But, it's not our job to monitor it, brother. There was Abi, bang Juna, bang Ahtar and Om Abdullah there. Surely they know if there is no food. Kak Humaira doesn't have to bother.” What Hafizha said struck Humaira.
“Iya... yes..” Humaira.
“Kak Humaira just eat, ask for Uncle Malik! Izha wants to go to the room first, learn to be smart.” Hafizha smiled.
Humaira nodded, then went back to look for Ahtar's whereabouts after Hafizha could be confirmed to be no longer beside him. But the result was nil, because Humaira could not find Ahtar's whereabouts. Until finally he felt tired standing on the side of the wall which is the distance between the kitchen and the middle room.
“Uncle Malik, I want to ask for one more meal. Some have not been able to eat because.” Ahtar who went to the kitchen to meet uncle Malik.
“Alright, Son Ahtar.” Uncle Malik the mangosteen.
Uncle Malik immediately picked up the food as it had been made before. And when Ahtar turned with the rice he accidentally hit Humaira until the sauce spilled and hit the Humaira veil.
”Sorry, I didn't accidentally.” Ahtar lowered his gaze.
“It's okay, Bang. Maybe I was less careful, the road does not see.” Humaira cleaned the dirt from the traces of goat meat sauce that hit her veil.
Without a word Ahtar left Humaira in the kitchen, because Ahtar did not want people who had not been to the food waiting for him for too long. It is also a pity, if the guest is hit by hunger that cannot be held back.
‘So cold is your heart, Bang. Do you think I never existed? So hard to ask you to greet me.’
Humaira stared at Ahtar's back which was disappearing in her view. And Humaira's return is shocked by the presence of Hafizha, who likes to appear suddenly and leave at will.
Hafizha is like a beautiful good ghost, as the author wrote. Wkwkwk...
“Mbak, let's eat! Take there gih, mumpung not yet night. If it's night should not overeat.” Hafizha.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
“Sini Neng, let Hubby be the big Abizzar. Neng just eat, Hubby already brought his food.”
Khadijah's heart again felt happy for the small attention given by Yulian. And that night Khadijah felt that his life was much better than it used to be, desperately looking for a place to stay to avoid the existence of Alex who continued to look for him.
‘Yes Allah, thank you I will always say as my gratitude. For You have given me the chance to live to enjoy happiness after such a difficult journey to happiness.’ Khadija monologues in heart.
Khadijah would not stop watching Yulian who was so patient in holding Abizzar who never went to sleep. And Khadijah's heart also felt cool when he heard Yulian recite sholawat to Abizzar to sleep immediately.
“Kalamungkodimalla Yumallu equal uhu, tanazzaha numiguli wa fikli waniyati.” Sholawat was continuously chanted by Yulian while holding Abizzar.
But Abizzar's eyes were still very bright. Making Yulian feel confused himself must be in what way to make Abizzar quickly fall asleep.
“Assalamu'alaikum,”
Papa Adhi said a greeting as he was about to enter Yulian's room. And after hearing the voice of papa Adhi from outside immediately Khadija opened the door. After that Khadijah saluted Papa Adhi to honor those older than him.
“Can Papa come in?” tanya Papa Adhi made sure.
“Please enter, Pa.” Khadijah opened the door of his room wide.
Papa Adhi went into the room. Then he greeted Abizzar who was still in Julian's arms.
“Sini, let Papa carry it.”
Julian gave Abizzar to Papa Adhi.
“Lha her eyes are still awake with light when told to sleep yes, Le. Here, grandfather alone is carrying his grandson, yes!”
With a smile that continues to expand Papa Adhi ceaselessly invite Abizzar to chat. Even Abizzar responds occasionally to what Papa Adhi says with a smile. And slowly Papa Adhi finally managed to put Abizzar to sleep by chanting some short letter readings.
“Papa want to rest, Papa feels so tired.” Papa Adhi commented a smile.
Yulian and Khadijah nodded, letting Papa Adhi go to her room that was about to rest. Because that night the clock was already showing at eleven o'clock in our Scotland.
Yulian and Khadijah also laid their bodies on the bed, because Khadijah's eye bags could not resist the whack of sleepiness. Although it had fallen asleep a little, but fatigue could not fool the face of Khadijah until drowsiness came. The same with Yulian.
Seriate...
