EXPIRED

Episode 74

During one Sunday they performed Umrah, both Chelsee and Ray enjoyed the worship well and were not at all fussy as Aira was worried about before, it's just a few times Ray asked for milk when tawaf took place, but it was not a problem for Aira because there were two assistants who were always ready to petrify him.

There are things that make Aira and Raditya impressed in the worship trip that time, namely the friendly attitude shown by Chlesee who want to be invited to play with people from different countries, some of them even give gifts such as clothes, toys, and food. Chelsee was so much liked by the people who saw him.

"Thank you big sister" Chelsee said when he received a 🐼 panda doll from one of the children who was several years old above him.

"It was nothing Chelsee, Wonderful to see you. Bye" the boy went to follow his parents while waving his hand towards Chelsee.

"Daddy..." Chelsee also waved his hand 'So brother who is his name, I forgot' muttered Chelsee, so many who invited him to meet him until he forgot so Chelsee could only smile widely while waving his hands.

"So let's go honey, today we want a pilgrimage to the city of Thaif" Raditya asked his daughter to immediately follow Aira into the bus that will take them to the city of Thaif.

Not without reason Raditya invites his two children to join Umrah, he wants to introduce and instill religious values early on to his children, he said, teach the value of simplicity and take off all the arrogance of the world through the obligation to wear ihram clothes, and learn the history of Islam.

"This is the mosque what is its name?" chelsee asked curiously, while visiting the historic mosque in the city of Thaif.

"The Mosque of Abdullah bin Abbas. The mosque was built in 592 A. D, right next to this mosque there is the tomb of Abdullah bin Abbas who is one of the Prophet's friends who are loved by the Prophet Muhammad who is more famous as Ibn Abbas ra, who is also known as Ibn Abbas, after this we make a pilgrimage to the tomb of Abdullah bin Abbas" Raditya replied.

From behind the veil she was wearing, Aira smiled watching the way Raditya answered every question asked by Chlesee, she felt lucky to have a husband who was not only loving but also very smart.

"Hey, you why the hell was I looking at you like that? is there something wrong with me?" raditya asked his wife.

Aira shook her head, then she said "If you look around, Bang Radit is getting more and more handsome."

"Your wombals, we pray the tahyat circumcision mosque and dhuha yuk first" she asked, Aira nodded her head according to her husband's invitation.

After prayers and pilgrimages, Raditya and his family took a walk in the city of Thaif, along the road around the city of Thaif, Raditya and his family were presented with a beautiful view. That is, the high mountains are overgrown with grass that makes it look greener compared to the barren hills in Makkah. While enjoying the beautiful scenery, Raditya told the history of Islamic travel in Thaif to his daughter.

"The Apostle had come to Thaif to preach, but it turned out that the inhabitants of this city rejected him and treated him harshly. Even they threw the Apostle to the point of injury, though it was not easy, the Apostle was always sincere, patient, and never gave up in the face of all forms of treatment of his people. The apostle prayed for the people of Thaif, so that they would worship Allah. And, at this time the population of Thaif has embraced Islam" Raditya explained.

"Rasulullah has an ocean-wide heart because he prays for those who have done evil to him and are not discouraged" Chelsee said.

"Good, so nice person, son. As the Apostle has pointed out" Raditya stroked his daughter's head.

"I love Rasulullah and I love papa" Chelsee kissed Raditya's cheek.

Raditya smiled, in his mind he hoped his daughter's affection would never change even though later he would find out if Gilang was his real father, not himself.

By late afternoon, Raditya and his family returned to the hotel to rest and pack his luggage, because the next day they will leave for Turkey.

Upon arrival at the hotel, Chlesee immediately lay her body on the bed resting her body "Mah, adek bobo same brother here" Chelsee pinta while patting the bed.

"Beauty soon, change diapers first. Brother also changed clothes first gih, the time has not changed clothes has been swollen there!" aira's orders.

"Let me change diapers, you help my brother change his clothes" Raditya took over, so that his wife helped his daughter to change her clothes, he was aware of the limits of what he could do and should not do with his daughter.

Finished replacing Chelsee's clothes, Aira put her two children to sleep until they fell asleep "Sweet dream two of mama's favorite" Aira kissed her second forehead, then she approached her husband who was busy packing their luggage.

"It's almost over, you just rest with the children" Raditya forbade his wife to help him, but Aira did not feel good to let her husband clean everything up alone "It's okay, it's okay, I want to accompany Bang Radit, besides the clothes of many brothers who have not been tidied right?" Aira took all of Chelsee's clothes in the bathroom and the cupboard for her to put in the suitcase.

For an hour the two worked hand-in-hand to tidy up their entire luggage "Finish" Aira locked the last suitcase she had cleared.

"Thank you" Raditya clasped Aira's hand and looked into her eyes "Ra, I'm serious. Don't stay with me yeah, I don't want to lose you and Chelsee"

'Chelsee' muttered Aira, he thought for a moment to digest the sentence spoken by Raditya, the article is not the first time Raditya said the same sentence but all this time he only responded to the speech with jokes.

"The contact person I gave Gilang some time ago is your contact person, me and he is done, I do not want to open the opportunity of entering a third person among us. I entrust all of Chelsee's business with his real father to you, because I believe Bang Radit is a wise man and will be just, just like what Bang Radit did to Nathalie's parents" Aira stroked her husband's face gently "Although it wasn't your blood that flowed on Chelsee and Nathalie's body, though it wasn't your hand that the man who would marry her later or deliver her to the wedding altar would hold. But believe me, forever you will still be a favorite main character of children because family is BOND by LOVE NOT by BLOOD" said Aira.

Missing all the worries he had been feeling, Raditya carried Aira into his arms "Thank you" he whispered, holding back his scent.
