The Story of the Children of the Juragan
108. The mosque
"Dutch?" repeated mommy in surprise, and Marquez nodded weakly.
"What happened to Wulan?" mommy asked while shaking her husband's arm.
"You better do what I say right away, and then we'll talk" Marquez said.
Although overwhelmed with curiosity, mommy nodded, then stood up to her room to prepare clothes.
While Marquez restores his hair and looks frustrated.
"Are you done packing the things we need?" marquez asked when he saw his wife sitting on the edge of the bed.
Mommy jasmine turned her head, then nodded at her husband. And Daddy Marquez came to him.
"What exactly happened?" mommy again threw the question to her husband because he was still curious and anxious.
Marquez took a deep breath and told his wife everything.
Mommy didn't expect that to happen. But they tried as much as possible.
And what makes him even more surprised, because his two in-laws also follow like Wulan. I don't know what's on their minds, so they decide.
"in 1 hour we'll be leaving. Be prepared." said Marquez at the end of his sentence. Mommy nodded then walked towards the bathroom.
After everything was ready and it was felt that no one was left behind, Marquez and his wife said goodbye to his household assistant. Then, by a driver, they left for the airport.
On the way to the Netherlands, the two were silent with a thousand questions in their minds.

While thousands of kilometers away from where mommy was, Wulan had just returned home from the office. Grandpa and grandma greeted him with a sumringah smile.
"Are we going to the mosque this afternoon?" ask Wulan to both of them.
"Of course, baby. We can't wait for the afternoon to arrive." said granda.
"Okay, Wulan took a shower then."
"Yes, we'll get ready, too."
They separated into their rooms to prepare. And before long, they had already gathered in the living room.
"After coming from the mosque, the grandma also wants such a head covering." chanted the grandma like a child whining for toys.
"Of course Wulan will deliver grandma." replied Wulan with a smile.
They also entered a car that was ready in front of the house. And the four-wheeled vehicle was traveling at medium speed.
Unbeknownst to them, their neighbors witnessed all of that.
"I_it's Wulan? How dare he wear a head covering. But it looks even more beautiful."
Encouraged by curiosity, Leon, who had just returned from work, followed them.
"Where are they going?" his his hiss while focusing on the car in front of him.
"To the mosque?" hiss Leon while frowning, type their car stop at a magnificent building to worship.
He stayed in the car while scanning the surroundings. And before long, the Wulan family came down and approached the couple whose appearance was like Wulan.
They shake hands and embrace each other. After that, they walked together towards the mosque.
With a sneak, he got out of the car, and followed where they were going. Not to forget he directed his camera phone to record all the events that happened.
Inside the mosque, there have been several people who used to be witnesses of Wulan when he converted.
Wulan's entourage walked over to them, and did not forget to shake hands. After that, the sacred event began immediately.
Grandpa and grandma did exactly what Wulan used to do.
And when all was done, the tahmid sentence echoed filled the room.
Happiness mixed up to become one. Until they shed tears too.
"Thank you, you have shown us all this." said grandpa and grandma simultaneously while hugging Wulan.
The girl nodded and smiled, it was hard to be able to speak.
Meanwhile outside the room, Leon's chest rumbled. Just this time he saw firsthand such a sacred event. Until he dropped himself on the floor.
