Abraham and Asyila 2

Ashraf Almost Caught a Snake

“I would love to help Mas Abraham. But for now I can't. There are still children that I have to take care of, especially baby Akbar,” said Asyila who had laid her body on the bed.

As Ashila was contemplating her condition, Ashraf suddenly entered without knocking on the door first. His arrival apparently wanted to give toast to his mother.

“Mother, this is for Mommy!” With his small hands, Ashraf gave a few slices of toast with chocolate and strawberry flavor.

“Thank you dear,” reply Asyila while receiving toast given by Ashraf.

“Mother, tonight Ashraf sleeps with Mother and baby sister yes!” pinta Ashraf because his father is not at home, therefore he wants to sleep with his beloved Mother.

“Ashraf sure want to sleep with Mommy?” ask Ashila to make sure.

Ashraf nodded his head.

“This Mother wants to sleep, then wait let alone, let's wudhu and immediately go to sleep!” bring Asyila.

Asyila got out of bed as did Ashraf, both of whom went into the bathroom and took turns taking ablution water.

After taking the ablution water, the two went back up to the bed to immediately rest.

Arumi woke up early, she was already awake from half 2 am. The mother of Ashila, rushed to the kitchen to make a sahur menu. Arumi deliberately did not wake Asyila or the others to help her cook, he wanted to do it alone.

“You know, I should just fry,” said Arumi monologue.

Arumi did the kitchen work very quickly, did not feel it was 3 am and at that time also Arumi had finished cooking the sahur food menu.

“It turns out pretty good too yes, I should take a short nap and half-four I will wake up,” said Arumi decided to return to his room.

“Mother from anywhere? Come pray tahajjud!” invite Herwan who has been preparing to perform tahajjud prayer.

Arumi's desire to sleep for a while, he finally undo. Tahajjud prayer is more important than sleep.

At the same time, Ashila had finished performing the tahajjud prayer alone in her room. He rushed to the kitchen to help his mother cook, but upon arrival in the kitchen Asyila was very surprised and felt guilty for waking up late.

“Why didn't Mom wake Asyila? O Allah, I feel guilty,” Asyila said in a monologue.

When Asyila was in the kitchen arranging the dishes, Dyah and Yeni came.

“It's Aunty and Grandma Arumi who set up?” ask Dyah.

Asyila then also shook her head.

“Not, this is all my mother who prepared it,” replied Asyila.

“Yeah, Dyah also woke up late because little Asyila was a bit fussy,” said Dyah.

“Mbak too, Ashila. Mbak wake up late because last night stay up,” said Yeni.

Arumi suddenly comes and says that she was the one who purposely did not wake the three of them.

“Mother, why intentionally so?” ask Ashila with a sad look.

“If Dyah does wake up late, Grandma. Sorry yes Nek,” says Dyah.

“It's okay, don't feel guilty like this. Let's wake the kids, they have to wake up so that when sahur they don't fuss!”

Asyila breezed away towards her room to wake Ashraf up, while Dyah and Arumi woke Bela and Arsyad who were sleeping in the other rooms.

It didn't take long, everyone got together. Except, Abraham Mahesa who is in an important job helping his best friend.

“Syila, don't daydream. I know that you must be thinking about Nak Abraham, if the work at Nak Abraham's company is done, surely your husband will come home,” Arumi said half whispered so that no one else heard.

Asyila tried to smile widely even though the smile looked so forced. However, only Ashila knows about her husband who is helping Edi and the team to catch criminals.

Mas, Ashila will continue to pray and wait for the arrival of Mas Abraham. When our baby is a little big, Asyila promises to help Mas Abraham in dealing with bad people out there. Asyila will not be as weak as yesterday, Asyila now is not a woman who is easily removed.

Arsyad, without being asked, understood what he had to do. He led the do'a to read the intention of Ramadan fasting so loudly, followed by others.

Ashraf was playing remote control car in the front yard area of the house, he was playing alone, because Arsyad and Bela were studying in the living room, while he wanted to play in the yard area of the house.

“Mas Ashraf again what?” ask Mr. Udin to his Master's second son.

“Main car dong, Mr Udin want to play too?” ashraf asked without looking at Mr. Udin.

“Oh no need, Mas Ashraf. Mr. Udin is not good at playing such cars, let alone using a remote control,” explained Mr. Udin and laughed.

“Pak Udin, want Ashraf ajarin?” ask Ashraf and give the remote control to Mr. Udin.

Mr. Udin initially refused, but Ashraf continued to force him and Mr. Udin finally agreed rather than later Ashraf cried.

“Pak Udin, if you want to go straight this week and if you want to go left and right press this yes!” Ashraf patiently taught Mr. Udin to get his car moving.

Mr. Udin slowly moved the remote control button and what was done by Mr. Udin instead made Ashraf laugh freely. The problem is because his car is moving in no direction, Ashraf is not at all afraid if his toy car is damaged. If it breaks, his father will immediately give him a new toy car.

From the front porch of the house, Ashila noticed how happy Ashraf was playing with Mr. Udin.

“Happy continues yes dear, Mother continues to pray and hope that in the future our family is happy without having to shed tears first,” said Asyila monologue.

Asyila sat on the porch seat and tried to contact her husband. Asyila hoped her husband could pick up the phone.

“Assalamu’alaikum, my wife,” said Abraham greeting his little wife from behind the phone.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, Mas where now? Asyila kangen,” said Asyila who really misses her husband.

“Sabar yes my dear wife, insya Allah Mas return home no later than the day,” reply Abraham.

“Aamiin, hopefully yes Mas. Because less than a week we've been lebaran.”

“Syila need not worry, leave everything to God. Sorry Syila, I have to end this phone call.”

Asyila agreed and the phone call ended.

Mas Abraham must have been very busy there, astaghfirullahaladzim. Why don't I give Mas Abraham some spirit? However, there is no way I can contact Mas Abraham now.

As Ashila was daydreaming, Ashraf suddenly cried out in fear and so did Mr. Udin.

The bodyguards immediately ran up to the two and it turned out that there was a cobra that was getting ready to peck Ashraf's foot.

Asyila ran over and tightly hugged the body of her second son.

“Mother!” Ashraf shouted in fear with a trembling body.

Fortunately, the snake was captured and put in a sack.

“Nona Asyila and Mas Ashraf have nothing to fear, this snake we have secured. I will throw it to a place far from the population,” explained Alif and immediately went to use a motor to dispose of the cobra.

Arumi, Herwan and the others were scattering out near Asyila and Ashraf.

“Mother heard Ashraf's voice screaming, this is why the gathering here?” ask Arumi.

“Grandmother, there was a snake,” said Ashraf who was still afraid.

“Mother need not worry as well as others, the cobra snake has been cleared by Alif,” explained Asyila who does not want to make her family afraid.

Hearing Asyila's explanation of the cobra, Herwan was slightly traumatized by what happened a few years ago. Herwan asked the bodyguards to confirm whether the cobra was still wandering in the yard or not.

After giving the order, Herwan rushed to invite his daughter and granddaughter to go inside immediately.

“So calm sister yes, there is Kak Arsyad here,” said Arsyad tried to calm her sister.

Ashraf only nodded lightly without taking out a word.
