"Seeing knowledge is mandatory over every Muslim” (HR. Ibn Majah)

Happy reading........🌹🌹🌹🌹

🌸🌸🌸🌸

The weekend has arrived. Reza took advantage of his time off by studying religion with his entire family. Reza invited a very famous ustadz in Jakarta and all over Indonesia to provide knowledge to them. Not only his family, but his best friend's family also attended the study at Martin's house.

Inas was very enthusiastic when his whole family gathered and added to the family Doni. Because of his antusanya, Inas chose his own clothes that he would wear. Inas chose to wear a peach-colored gown with a small lavender-colored flower motif. Not to forget the instant hijab is in tune, making Inas look adorable.

Inas also asks Lira to wear the same robe as him. Lira follows the wishes of her little daughter. Unmitigated, Lira has a lot of gamis stock that one set with her daughter.

Not only Lira whose clothes are determined by her daughter, Reza must accept when Inas chooses clothes for her. Inas's choice fell on a plain khaki brown shirt and black jeans. Not to forget also, white peci as a complement to the accessories.

Reza had no objections at all to her daughter's choice. Reza actually became more and more anxious to see the funny behavior of his daughter who was getting smarter in choosing her own clothes.

"Eyang, brother's gone bad." Said Inas as he met his two eyes while twisting his small body in front of Martin and Irma.

"Ooh. Granddaughter really pretty, anyway." Praise Irma by pinching the puffiness of Inas's puffed cheek.

"Kalna's sister's taking a shower." Answer Inas with his face.

Martin and Irma immediately laughed at the funny behavior of their grandchildren.

Martin and Irma held Inas' tiny hand to the living room where Ustadz had been sitting with all his family and the Doni family.

As Ustadz conveyed his material, everyone in the room watched him with wisdom and absorbed what was being said. Inas also sat quietly on his father's lap without moving much as if he understood what the ustadz was saying.

Reza and Lira had indeed planted adab-civilians to Inas while gathering with parents. They have also instilled religious knowledge from an early age in Inas. They wanted, at the age of Inas who was almost 2 years old, Inas had to know who his Lord was and who his Apostle was. Starting from small things such as, getting used to Inas participate type his mother is praying and teaching. Giving thanks to the less able. As well as getting used to Inas always praise God when he is happy with saying hamdalah.

Besides introducing his God, they also introduce who the Apostle is by following his sunnah, which is to eat and drink using the right hand while sitting down and do not forget to read the bismillah before eating or drinking and say hamdalah after eating and drink.

The left foot is left when entering the bathroom, and the right foot when exiting the bathroom. And do not forget to read the prayer when you want to get in and out of the bathroom. All they do slowly with real examples from both of them so that Inas can follow suit.

Not only that, Lira has also accustomed Inas to listen to murotal, at least one surah in one day and repeated many times so that Inas can easily remember it. And sure enough, at the age of just two years, Inas was able to memorize the verse of the chair and other short surahs smoothly. Although still with its slurred language, but at least Inas can remember it well.

As parents, Reza and Lira certainly feel proud and happy to see the cleverness of their daughter. But the one who feels happier is Lira. As a mother, parenting and educating children is certainly not an easy job. Lira must be more patient in dealing with the times where Inas whines play before repeating his short surah memorization, and there are many more Inas behavior that makes Lira have to be a lot of patience.

Educating her daughter in the middle of her pregnancy made Lira have to be more patient. Especially at this time, Inas became more critical and more often asked about any of it and as much as possible Lira answered it with language that is easily understood by children the age of Inas.

Lira never complained about educating her daughter. Lira actually really enjoys her role as a mother because that is where her faith lies. He will always see firsthand the development of his daughter from day to day without anyone being missed.

Reza supported and entrusted his wife because basically, the mother was the first Madrasah for her children. " Al-Ummu Madrasah Al-ula, where the mother is the first person who will instill norms of kindness as well as be a role model in attitude. 

Reza's job as a father is not only to support his wife in educating children, but also to provide for her family. As described in the letter of An-Nisa verse 34, Allah says:

"The man is the leader of women, and, for Allah has exalted some of them (men) over others (women) and because they (men) have forgiven some of their possessions."

Although the mother is the first school for children, but the father is likened to the principal. He is responsible for the quality of his students. Because the figure of the father is needed to form a character and good morals for children. It is the father who is very influential in terms of the formation of the character of the child.

Therefore, Reza always helps Lira in educating her daughter. Not infrequently Reza often took the time to be able to play with his daughter.

After praying together dhuhur in the mosque, the ustadz was said to return home because he had to continue his studies in another mosque.

The whole Reza and Doni family sat relaxing in the gazebo behind the house. They seem to enjoy the rare moment so much, given their busy lives as company leaders that they rarely have time to gather together. Wives are busy discussing the development of their children and grandchildren, while husbands are seriously discussing business.

"So, how are the development of the hospital project builders in Bandung, Za?" Sigit asked, Doni's father sipped his tea.

"Alhamdulillah, it is the final stage. And soon it will be unveiled." Answer Reza relax.

"Berati you will go back and forth Jakarta-Bandung, dong?" Ask Sigit again.

"Yes, how else? There's no way Reza could've left Lira pregnant."

"And there's mommy and dad, Za." Timpal Martin looking at Reza.

"Sorry if you are offended. But Reza didn't mean it. Reza just can't bear it, if suddenly midnight Lira wants to eat something but Reza again is not home. Kan, papa is also the one who bothers later." Answer Reza honestly.

The others agreed. They understand how Reza feels unbearable and can not even be away from his children and wife.

Their conversation was forced to end because Riri who was hit by heavy drowsiness suddenly cried loudly. As a result, Doni and his wife and both parents say goodbye home.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Since the construction project of the existing hospital in Bandung is almost complete, Reza became more busy and had to go back and forth Jakarta-Bandung to monitor the work directly. Reza deliberately chose to go back and forth instead of having to leave his wife and child.

The lira used the elevator to get to the kitchen because if she used the stairs, then her husband and her two in-laws nagged all day.

Lira saw the leftovers on the table, but she felt no taste. The lira opened the fridge to pick up two bananas, and two apples to prop up her stomach.

Lira really enjoyed the fruit. Because they feel less, Lira again opens the refrigerator to take a fresh red apple and peel it.

While Lira was enjoying the apple that had just been peeled and cut into small pieces, Reza appeared with a panicked face because he did not find his wife in the room.

"Darling, what's going on here?" Reza asked as she shifted the chair then sat right next to the Lira.

Type Lira out of the room to go to the kitchen, Reza wriggled and shifted her hands to hug Lira. But unfortunately, the Lira's place is empty. Reza immediately panicked and woke up looking for Lira to the whole room to the bathroom, but he did not find Lira. Reza went straight down the stairs and into the kitchen. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his wife sitting relaxed while enjoying the fruit.

"Again eat fruit, mas. Lira Laper, just keep coming here." He replied casually with his mouth filled with fruit.

"Why not wake up, anyway? Don't bother going to the kitchen by yourself."

"Lira can't wait to see her sleep is so good. Moreover, lately mas added busy until having to go back and forth Jakarta-Bandung. Why don't you go there?"

Reza felt guilty for his wife. It should be at a time like this, he could always be there to help his wife. Busyness makes him often come home late to fatigue. But Reza disagreed with the proposal of Lira who asked him to stay in Bandung.

"I'm sorry that lately mas so often busy and rarely have time for love and sister. Mas would rather tired back and forth but pay off by looking at the faces of your dear and brother, rather than having to leave you guys. I won't be able to."

"Thank you very much, ma'am." Said Lira with eyes that had condensed, feeling moved by the sacrifice of her husband.

"Beloved together. Eaten again. If less, baby say yes." Reza said as she rubbed the head of the Lira wrapped in an instant hijab that was wide.

"Yes, mas. This is enough."

Reza kept looking at his wife's innocent face. Suddenly, Reza recalled the incident when he caught Lira picking up fruit in the refrigerator because she was hungry. With the heart he called Lira a thief and locked her in a dark and damp warehouse.

Reza's heart aches when he remembers that cruel thing. The tiny body of the woman next to him, was filled with blows. Her tears flowed from the corner of her eyes. However, he quickly wiped away his tears to make them invisible to his wife.

Seeing that the fruit on the plate was finished, Reza immediately took water to drink and was given Lira.

"Here's the drink, baby."

"Thank you, ma'am." The lira received the glass with a smile and drank it to the toilet.

"Together, darling. Yuk, we're sleeping again."

"Yes, my mom."

Reza takes Lira to the room using the elevator. Arriving in the room, Reza immediately enveloped the tiny body of Lira while rubbing her distended stomach.

"Because my grandpa was full, so now we sleep again. Dedek don't make the laper mother again, yes." Reza said while gently rubbing the stomach of Lira.

Lira just smiled at the funny behavior of her husband who almost every day, always invite her son to talk.

"Good sleep, baby. I love you." Reza said accompanied by a warm kiss on the forehead and stomach of the Lira.

"Good sleep too, papa." Answer the lira by mimicking the typical voice of a child.

They laugh together and sleep in a position to hug each other.
