After the Word Talak

CHAPTER 46. Adinata Deed of Dreantama

The aqiqah of Dikta's children is now taking place after the drama Mama Reni who had to scold her two young children Adam and Sean because they were late to bring groceries ordered by Mama Reni.

Now Sean's house where the aqiqah takes place has been very rame after the recitation and prayer is now the time to cut hair for Dikta children.

"Bismilah" said Ustad Zaky who cut Dikta's hair.

Dikta held her baby tightly during the procession while Mama Reni, Aurel, Adam and Sean appeared to be beside her watching the haircut procession.

"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim.

Alhamdulilbornabbil'alamin.

Allahumma nurus samawati wa nurusy shamshi,

Allahumma sirrullahi nurun nurun nubuwwati Rasulullahi Shallallahi'alaihi wassalam wallhamdulillahi Rabbil 'alamin."

[By mentioning asthma, it is Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Praise be to God, Lord of the Universe, O God, the light of the heavens, the sun, and the moon. O Allah, the secret of Allah, the prophetic light, Rasullullah SAW, and praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe]

The voice of Ustad Zaky reciting prayers while cutting Dikta's hair was heard with a melodious attack from his lips giving a fresh breeze at the Aqiqah event.

After the cut, Ustad Zaky placed a strand of Dikta's hair on a tray held by Aurel before continuing to recite the prayer after cutting Dikta's hair.

"Allahumma inni u'idzuha bika wa dzurriyyyataha minasy syaithanir rajim."

[O Allah, I ask for protection for him and his family from the accursed devil]

"Alhamdulillah," The words of Hamdalah were heard simultaneously from the lips of all those present at the event.

"Thank you Ustad" Dikta smiled at Ustad Zaky.

Ustad Zaky returned the smile then nodded. "You must know that a newborn child is afflicted with his aqiqah, slaughtered from him a goat, on the seventh day of his birth, shaved his hair and given a name. After shaving the baby's hair, it is given to give alms as heavy as the hair shaved with gold or silver,"

"God's Insha" replied Dikta.

"Don't Insha Allah, but must, do it if you are capable" Ustad Zaky said.

"So now, what's your son's name?" asked Ustad Zaky who made Dikta look at his son who was in his arms.

"Adinata Deed of Dreantama," replied Dikta who made everyone breathe a sigh of relief due to curiosity that paid off. "A man is dedicated to the world and the hereafter."

Dikta deliberately added Adinata in front of his son's name as a form of appreciation to his parents who are gone, as well, and Dreantama because it's Robby's big surname who would however Robby is the biological father of Baby Deed.

"Good name, may what you say in that name Allah may surmise and grant you, include in each of your prostrations your prayers, and recapture their intercession in one third of your nights, God willing, God willing, what you expect to see" said Ustad Zaky.

After everything was done Sean seemed to nudge Adam's shoulder which made Adam look at Sean. "You why?"

"Say you want to do that, how the hell are you? Let's do it now" Sean replied staring lazily at Adam.

"But,"

"Bismillah Mr. Doctor, you can handle patients who are in death but the consultation of the heart itself can not," Sean urged Adam.

Adam took out a ring box from his shirt pocket and held it tightly, in fact this he had prepared even after Dikta had just given birth.

"Bismilah," muttered Adam walking towards Dikta.

Dikta who saw Adam in front of him was confused and raised his eyebrows. "What's up, Mom?"

Adam did not reply he immediately knelt before Dikta and took out the ring box. "I don't know if I'm a good priest to you or not, nor do I know if I can take you to heaven or not, but I am sure Allah has made your name as a master in my prayers and my wife in his mahfudz vow."

"Dikta Adinata, I don't care about your status, with you even whatever it is, I want to, be a husband to you. To be the father of your child and to be the Imam in every prostration of your prayer and companion in one third of your night, will you be my wife?"

The deg!

Dikta was silent, he had not answered while not far from there back there was a broken heart that was Robby who witnessed the incident with a heart that had been completely broken.
