Abraham and Asyila 2

Making a Lebaran Cake

Asyila came out of the bathroom with a body that was half shivering because of the cold water, actually Asyila was already using warm water. However, it still felt like cold water to him.

“Syila if it's cold, here Mas hug to keep warm!” Abraham smiled and got ready to hug his little wife who was still wearing a towel robe.

“Closely hug yes Mas!” pinta Asyila to her husband who had been wearing clothes.

“Of course,” reply Abraham while hugging the body of his little wife.

As the two were hugging, suddenly the sound of knocking on the door sounded.

“Mother, come on sahur!” Ashraf called his mother to suhoor immediately.

Neither Ashraf nor the others knew that the husband of Ashila had returned home.

“Before awhile baby, soon Mother will catch up!” assyila shouted from inside the room.

“Good, Mother. Ashraf wait at the dinner table ya!”

“Iya darling!” exciting Asyila.

Asyila hurried to put on her clothes to immediately catch up with the rest of the family to sahur together.

“Mas, others will definitely be surprised to see Mas Abraham is already at home,” Asyila said while wearing her clothes.

Abraham just kept quiet and instead kissed the nape of his little wife's neck repeatedly.

“Mas, we must immediately sahur. Was that not enough?” asked Asyila who had finished wearing her clothes.

“If asked if it is not enough? Of course it is not enough,” reply Abraham.

Asyila turned and touched her husband's lips with her fingers.

“Then, tomorrow again Mas Abraham. Now we have to go to the dining room, the others are definitely waiting for us!”

Abraham agreed and embraced the waist of his little wife to immediately gather with the other family in the dining room.

“Uncle!” Dyah was surprised and happy to see his Uncle who had returned.

“Nak Abraham,” said Arumi and Herwan who did not know that their favorite son-in-law had returned from Jakarta.

“Nak Abraham when is coming? Why don't Mom and Dad know?” ask Herwan in amazement.

Abraham approached and kissed the backs of his two in-laws' hands in turn. Later, Arsyad and Ashraf took turns kissing the back of their beloved father's hand.

“Sorry to surprise Father, Mother and others. Mas Abraham came home late at night and did not feel good if he had to wake the others,” replied Asyila representing her husband.

“Thank God if you have come home, your wife is almost every night always waiting for you, son Abraham,” said Arumi with a glance towards Asyila.

“Mother, don't say that,” said Asyila timidly.

“Already, let's sahur together,” said Herwan to immediately sahur together.

Daytime.

Arumi, Asyila and Dyah were chatting in the living room, the three of them were talking about Eid al-Fitr.

“Dyah, are you sure Lebaran is here?” ask Arumi to reassure Dyah's desire to pray Ied in Jakarta.

“Grandmother need not worry, Dyah has talked about this before to Mama and also Papa in Bandung. After all, the Mas Fahmi family also mostly lives here,” explained Dyah.

Asyila smiled sweetly at how Dyah spoke.

“Oya, Aunty plan after Lebaran go where? Is it still here?” ask Dyah curiously.

“After Lebaran, of course we will return to Bandung. Aunty wants to reopen the Muslim clothing business, as well as help the economy where Mbah Tedjo, Mbak Menik and others live in the area,” explained Asyila.

“Oh, the place that Aunty told me about,” said Dyah.

“Iya, dear Dyah,” reply Asyila who previously told the place where Abraham bought land to build a place of worship while helping the economy of the area.

Ashraf suddenly appeared and immediately sat on his mother's lap.

“Mother, is it okay?” asked Ashraf to make sure that his mother did not mind because she had to hold him.

“Iya darling, it's okay. Ashraf still fast?” ask Asyila curiously.

“Still dong Mother!” ashraf exclaimed with a thumbs up hand.

“Smart boy,” praise Asyila on Ashraf, “Oya, dear. Brother Arsyad and Brother Bela where?” ask Asyila because she didn't see Arsyad or Bela.

“In the backyard, Mother,” replied Ashraf.

Ashraf then also came down from the lap of his mother and ran small towards the backyard of the house to return to play with Arsyad and Bela.

“Pak Udin and Pak Eko why have not returned as well huh? Do they have trouble finding ingredients to make cakes and bread for lebaran tomorrow?” asked Dyah who had been almost 3 hours long the two men had not returned.

“Maybe soon they will arrive,” reply Asyila calmly.

Just as Ashila finished talking, Mr. Udin and Eko suddenly came to them with 5 plastic bags large enough.

“Sorry everyone, we are long because there is a little problem,” said Mr. Udin.

“Oh, it's okay, Mr. Udin. If you can tell, what's the problem?” ask Asyila curiously.

“That, there was an accident and we were forced to stop the speed of the car,” replied Mr. Udin.

“Innalilahi wa innailaihi rojiun, is anyone injured?” ask Asyila who started to panic.

“Alhamdulillah, nothing. Then, we put this first in the kitchen,” said Mr. Udin who wants to put their groceries into the kitchen.

“Before thank you for the help of Mr. Udin and also Mr. Eko,” said Asyila while trailing the two men who were walking towards the kitchen.

Arumi and Dyah also followed to the kitchen.

After all the groceries were placed in the kitchen, both Mr. Udin and Eko at that time also paid to go back to guard outside.

Asyila, Arumi and Dyah were not forgetting to thank the two men who had helped them to shop at the market.

“Syila darling, what do you want to do Nak?” ask Arumi curiously.

“Hmm... Mother seems to make pineapple jam only,” replied Arumi.

Dyah flicked her lips while narrowing her eyes in a slight annoyance.

“Nobody wants to ask what Dyah will make?” ask Dyah with ketus.

Asyila and Arumi chuckled at Dyah's adorable facial expression.

“Dyah dear, want to make what?” ask Ashila very gently.

Dyah laughed sheepishly before answering a question from his Aunty.

“Hehe.. Hmm.. It looks like Dyah made a sponge only, meaning bolu roll,” replied Dyah.

“Wah, that's good too. Let's wait, let alone? We start now!” exciting Asyila.

The three immediately took the ingredients to make a cake Lebaran tomorrow. Their work will of course be very heavy and busy, fortunately baby Akbar and baby Asyila are under the supervision of their respective fathers.

“Asyila dear, if something is difficult let Mother do it,” said Arumi to her daughter who was at that time measuring flour.

“Mother rest easy, God willing Asyila can do it. Asyila has been dreaming about this for a long time,” reply Asyila who looks happy with her work.

“Alright, then I want to make pineapple jam first,” said Arumi.

The three were busy with each of their jobs, from a distance Abraham watched his little wife with admiration.

“Uhuk... Uhuk... Uhuk...” Dyah coughed deliberately because he saw his Uncle who was watching his beloved Aunty.

“Dyah, you why? Come drink,” said Asyila while giving a glass of drinking water to Dyah.

“Aunty, there's a sighting. Look there,” said Dyah while glancing at Abraham who was standing half peeking.

Asyila turned her head and immediately shook her head to know her husband.

Even Abraham who was discovered could only smile widely.

Ashila shyly walked closer to her husband.

“Mas why here?” ask Asyila.

“While watching one of the angels of heaven,” replied Abraham.

Ashila was surprised by her husband's response.

“Does Asyila deserve the title of angel of heaven?” ask Ashila with a serious look.

Abraham, who was smiling widely, immediately turned serious. He raised his hand and touched Ashila's head tightly shut by the hijab.

“Inshaa Allah,” said Abraham and now his gaze turned into a loving gaze.

Asyila could not speak anymore to hear her husband's words, she could only guarantee the words of her husband from the heart.

“Mas, Asyila excuse me first. Asyila must continue Asyila's work to make peanut cakes,” Asyila said.

“Spirit of my wife,” sahut Abraham.

With a shy step, Asyila also left her husband to resume her work that was making peanut cakes.

“Aunty and Uncle are talking about what? Looks like a lot of fun, let's tell Aunty!” pinta Dyah was very curious about the conversation of the couple.

“Ssuutt, this is a secret between Aunty and your Uncle,” Asyila replied.

“Iya deh, yes,” says Dyah.

Arumi chuckled looking at the two women standing right beside her.

Abraham decided to return to the living room with a very happy feeling.

“Nak Abraham!” call Herwan to Abraham who just landed his ass on the couch.

“Iya, Dad. What's up?” ask Abraham.

“Daddy wants to go for a while, if your mother asks just say Dad went to the place of Mr. Sholeh,” said Herwan who was getting ready to go to the house of one of his brothers.

“Dad left alone?” ask Abraham to make sure.

“Yes, Son of Abraham. If using a motor, at least 15 minutes to get to Mr. Sholeh's house,” replied Herwan.

“Do you not have to be ushered by Pak Udin or Eko, do you?”

“Oh, if that's not necessary. After all, Dad was just for a moment,” Herwan replied.

Abraham finally agreed with the words of his father-in-law and it did not take long, Herwan left Abraham and Fahmi who were in the living room.

Fahmi was a little awkward with the figure of Abraham, however Abraham was so authoritative and made the figure of Fahmi a little shrill.

“What's up, Fahmi? Why look at me with such a tense look?” abraham asked curiously.

“Oh, nothing, Uncle,” replied Fahmi.

Abraham nodded his head and glanced at his little baby, who was sleeping in the baby carriage.

“How is your store?” ask Abraham.

“Alhamdulillah, everything is smooth. What's more a fasting month like this, almost all of my stores revenue rose to 2x fold,” Fahmi replied.

“Alhamdulillah, the sustenance comes from Allah and we must be grateful for this sustenance,” said Abraham with a big smile towards Fahmi.

At the same time, the pineapple jam made by Arumi almost finished and fragrant from the pineapple jam almost made Dyah waver because he was fasting.

“Yeah, it must be very good if eaten while warm,” said Dyah who really wants to enjoy pineapple jam made by Arumi.

“Dyah, let's go fast spirit,” said Arumi.

Dyah smiled widely and slightly moved away from the pineapple jam that was so tempting.

“Iya deh, Dyah spirit,” said Dyah.
