Pray for your Lord, and sacrifice (as worship and draw near to Allah).

(QS Al Kautsar verse 2)

Allohuakbar.....

Allohuakbar.....

Allohuakbar.....

Laila haillalloh hualohuakbar

Allohuakbar....

The sound of takbir rang from the loudspeakers in the mosque and mushola-mushola, as well as at the home of Atmo's grandfather, precisely in the home mosque, they all proclaimed takbir welcoming Eid al-Adha this year.

After canceling the fast, they performed the congregational maghrib prayer.

All gathered and surrounded the dining table, after the Maghrib prayer.

By noon Moses, Papa, Dimas and Atmo's grandfather had gone to one of the houses that kept the cows, and chose the best cows to sacrifice tomorrow.

Every year Atmo's grandfather always sacrificed, as well as Moses and his family, the previous years Sari still went with Atmo's grandfather, but for this year Sari broke away, Sari sacrificed with Moses in her home complex.

" Later after the prayer of Isa, Sari and Mas Musa say back home yes Kek, tomorrow morning mas Musa joined the committee of slaughter of sacrificial animals", said Sari when all had finished eating together. Grandfather nodded immediately.

As Sari walked into the room to tidy up Rasyid's belongings, Atmo's grandfather went inside the room. Moses is in the living room playing with Rashid, Dimas and Linda.

" What's the cake?, is there anything to talk about?".

Grandpa sat on the edge of the bed and asked Sari to sit next to him.

" Sari. grandfather is getting older, lucky grandfather to see the grandchildren of the family and become a successful person ".

" If tomorrow or whenever grandfather has to face the Almighty, grandfather hopes for you, to be a good wife and mother, also guide your brother who sometimes still wants to be his own".

Sari immediately squeezed out her grandfather's hand,

" this grandfather said what the hell, Sari did not like what grandfather was talking about, as if grandfather was saying goodbye to Sari".

" Sari and brother Dimas still need grandfather to guide us".

Grandpa Atmo smiled as he shook his head, "Grandfather's premonition says, Grandfather's task in this world is done. Grandfather believes that from time to time, Moses can certainly guide you into a better person "

Sari was already speechless, only able to hug her grandfather with a sad feeling and an obstinate heart.

***

At the house of Moses and Sari

" Why be moody?, do you still want to stay at the grandfather's house?, if yes you should not go home first, Mas will be able to leave tomorrow to the slaughterhouse of the sacrifice of the grandfather's house".

Moses notices Sari's facial expression that has turned cloudy since Sari cleaned up Rashid's equipment at Atmo's grandfather's house.

But Sari tried to look okay by pulling the tip of her lips trying to smile, but failed.

At this moment his heart was so agitated that it left Atmo's grandfather's house. Even though at home there are still mama, papa, brother Dimas and Linda. Isn't weird...

This was not the first time Sari had left Grandpa Atmo, but there was a sense of tightness within the chest, which forced the tears from Sari's eyelids to flow swiftly.

" Hiiix...hiiix...hix.", Sari was already unable to hold back her tears.

Moses is confused by his wife's attitude.

" We're going to Grandpa's again?".

Sari still continued to cry without saying a word. Moses chooses to embrace Sari to feel calmer, letting Sari shed tears on her shoulder.

Curious, of course, Moses wanted to know what caused his wife to cry at will. As long as they were both married, Sari could be counted as only crying once or twice, even when she was pregnant because of her explosive and unstable emotions.

Even this time Moses had a chance to think, lest Sari get pregnant again, because she became very sensitive.

But it was not because of pregnancy, when Sari's crying had begun to subside, only Moses tried to ask why Sari was sad.

" Grandfather.... Mas...., the grandfather was talking a lot in the room, like saying goodbye like that, Sari did not know why he immediately felt so sick here" said Sari while patting her chest.

Moses hugged Sari again and calmed her down. Grab a bottle of mineral water on the nightstand. Read the prayer and give the water to Sari.

" Maybe grandfather spoke like that because he felt he was getting older".

" Take his lesson, because death is only God knows when it comes, let alone an old grandfather, maybe you, or Mas, suddenly died tomorrow, no one knows".

" Already, do not get dissolved in such grief, pity Rashid, he can also feel the sadness that his mother is feeling, and most influential, he said, how if the production of breast MILK so not smooth because it is feeling stressed and depressed".

" Especially the atmosphere of Eidan, so do not be sad dong".

Sari nodded her head.

" Now we pray Isa only, let you be calmer, mumpung Rashid is still sleeping too".

Moses and Sari also prayed isa in the room, while keeping Rashid, afraid at any time to get up.

Because tomorrow Eid, tonight bi Nunung went home to his own house, so tonight at home there are only three of them, Sari, Moses and Rashid.

" We should sleep, mumpung Rashid sleep, so if later Rashid wakes up, we have slept even for a while, sukur until tomorrow morning does not wake up".

Sari agreed to Moses' proposal, indeed Sari needed rest, after crying it felt very tired, and also sleepy. Sari went to sleep next to Moses.

But when Sari was asleep, Moses walked slowly out of the house to the nearest mosque, joining the assessment with the fathers of the mosque complex. And just got home at 1pm, right when Rashid woke up asking for mimi.

Seeing Sari who looked very tired, Moses did not wake her up, finally Moses carried Rashid, took the breast milk in the refrigerator, then warmed it up, and gave it to Rashid.

Like a very thirsty baby, Rashid finished a bottle full of breast MILK, and went back to sleep.

The next day, after the id prayer in the mosque, Sari went home first with the neighbors, leaving Moses who was still in the mosque because he wanted to slaughter sacrificial animals.

This year, there were 31 cows and 56 goats. For the slaughter of sacrificial animals divided into 6 places, the area of the Mosque complex led by Moses slaughtered 7 cows and 10 goats.

At 2 pm, the new sacrificial meat cutting event is completed. Moses went home with his flesh.

Arriving home, Sari was picking lemongrass and bay leaves in the garden behind the house. It is not too thick, but to be used as a seasoning cuisine occasionally, still enough.

" Wah father's son again harvests kitchen spices", it turns out that since bi Nunung lives with Sari, so many kitchen seasoning plants are planted.

Because in addition to saving money shopping, and utilizing abandoned vacant land, it also adds delicious cuisine if the ingredients used are new ingredients.

Sari had prepared all the spices when Rashid was sleeping. Sari deliberately moved quickly, but apparently had not had time to pluck lemongrass and bay leaves, Rashid woke up, so Sari invited him to come to the back garden.

" Dad to the kitchen first, then just take a shower if it's finished cutting meat that wants to be cooked, the smell of goats, will run out father bath Rashid play with father, father, let me cook some meat for dinner tonight".

Moses went straight to the kitchen, kept some of the meat in the refrigerator and some of it in small pieces to cook.

" How much was it last year?".

Sari who just entered from the garden saw the meat stored not as much as last year, because as far as Sari this year the number of victims is more.

" So some of Mas entrusted the same Mr. Gimung, to be divided into neighbors who are less able, but only get a little ration, even though his family is a lot".

" Owh.", replied Sari mangosteen.

For two hours Sari cooked rendang, while making some goat skewers.

Sari had asked Kurni's doctor first about whether it is permissible for nursing mothers to eat goat satay.

" So, nursing mothers can really eat sacrificial dishes such as goat meat. Provided not to forget to add a companion such as vegetables, pickles, and fruits to control the saturated fat found in goat meat".(source theasianparents)

Doctor Kurni's words directly Sari store well in the memory of his brain.

" Goat satay and rendang are ripe, let's eat", Sari also makes pickled fruit and also pickled, obeying the advice of doctor Kurni.

The two of them had dinner when Rashid had gone to bed, and after dinner, Sari went back to the room to approach Rashid and checked her phone.

Mama

8 Calls not answered.....

Brother Dimas

12 missed calls.....

Sari called right back, but there was no answer, everything was busy. Sari panicked more and more, her premonition of grandfather getting more and more in control of her mind.

" We go to Grandpa's house now!", cried Sari as she ran out of the room.
