Eid al Adha

One of Abah ahh's routine is more precisely busy annual ahead of Eid al-Adha is taking care of road letters or delivering Qurban animals orders people who have long gone through mutual agreement.

Since Abah retired from the plantation he chose to raise to fill his free time. Well because the grandchildren don't live with him.

While I chose farming since childhood to help my late grandmother remember my mother was the first of eleven children.

While my late grandfather was a santri from a famous ponpes in Tapanuli and devoted himself in this village to establish a school until now which was continued by my uncle.

Our daughters actually do not allow them to do their activities it's just that they can not leave it on the grounds that his body will hurt if not to the rice field or just an ox angon.

That's why we hired some people to help take care of the livestock and take care of the rice fields.

The busyness of the day before the Eid al-Adha holiday was felt when mothers crowded this large traditional market.

I who became one of them did not escape from crammed.

However, the mother still always wants to shop for her kitchen needs in the market, the reason is definitely fresher.

And who would have thought Malik's mother was also in the market this early along with his kitchen assistant.

I'm so curious that mom said when I asked why mom told me about Malik's mother and mom also said even though her friend's life was said to be more than enough or even rich she was still what she was no shame to shop for yourself even intervene about the kitchen.

Before dawn busy already felt, several vehicles transporting cows and goats in and out of the yard of the house.

Only Nadrah was not with us this morning because her husband was in charge of the Qurbani at her compound.

Allahu Akbar

Allahu Akbar

Allahu Akbar

Takbir echoes from all directions.

"your grandfather is healthy ? how pale is his face ?" ask Zahra after arriving at the mosque

"healthy brother, tired of not being able to sleep last night"

Yes all night I can't sleep I don't know what to think. Now I feel sleepy.

After eating lontong soto I also chose to lay down my body to close my eyes even for a while because soon we will make a pilgrimage to the grave of my grandparents both from Abah and Mother.

Sunday changing months does not feel the wedding day brother Zahra just count the days.

Busyness began to be seen in this house, relatives who live in other cities have also arrived.

"I accept the marriage of Fatimah Az Zahra bint Rasyid Elhaq with the dowry of a set of jewelry paid in cash" said bg Dimas firmly when ijab qobul

Legitimate lawful

Alhamdulillah

Have finished your duty, son, take steps wherever your husband goes, seek the pleasure of God in your husband, complement each other and love you.

To Dimas nak take care of him as well as Abah take care of him, love him how Abah loves him, do not make him sad, be a friend and husband for him, be a friend and a husband for him, advise him when he is negligent never once your soft hands touch him violently, one day if you feel you do not feel fit again with him please return him to Abah well, abah will keep him back as he was.

that is the expression of a father's love for his son and daughter-in-law now as a sign of surrender of responsibility.

I can't hold my tears from hearing it let alone Abah, I'm always weak when it comes to her.

The guests started to arrive and we were busy greeting the relatives.

I don't know since when the man looked at me for my motion a little doubt let alone his view like wanting to pounce.

Though my relationship and him I think it has improved when parenting that time.

Some time he did not contact me, I heard he was out of town for a long time because of the work that required him.

But today look he's been here maybe since. My mom's dad has seen it since I've been here.

I who did invite my school friends and college friends used to be shocked when I found a distant guest who I thought was impossible to come all the way here let alone he came with his parents.

Who else wouldn't be Hendra,

it's nothing, but it feels a little strange.

Seeing this scene must be the attention of the public eye.

Feeling the attention of many eyes I also left Hendra and his parents.

The family photo session was over but when I came back down my eyes caught two men I knew talking to each other.

It was amazing when they first met they were silent as if they did not know but another case now.

What is this, is there anything I don't know about them ?

______

"that's how the story how Hendra can know ama Malik shof ? ask Jihan who knew about Hendra.

"maybe they're acquaintances here"

" it's kind of weird, I think "

just returned after the Dzuhur prayer, now on top of the family members Malik want to take a picture and invite me to stand side by side with Malik.

I'm not good to refuse because in the wait I finally went up there.

Something is pounding here, just like it used to be when I expected it.

"know Hendra ?" ask me after I get down

" hemm he's the one who proposed to you first that you refused and still hope to get you until now who willingly come all the way from Jogja with his family that I know"

cake got needle dong this horrified. Where does he know and where do they know him ? it is not possible that the new dong channel here continues to have a long story or a personal problem.

"not to be confused I know where from, you have been well received by his family even though he has never come to his house as a candidate for his ex"

what ????

" he is rich, his business is also good, the only child of uda must have his wealth fall into his hands"

"what do you mean your words ? you think I'm a matre woman who wants her fortune to enrich me ? talking to a human being who is full of envy and envy is certainly no use"

" sorry shof I don't mean like that"

" is that not where it is ? from that moment you said you realize not the "

"i'm half aware especially he did not come all the way here just to be present at your brother's wedding with his parents "

"keep the problem with you what ? you have no right like that, I invited him here"

di looked at me sharply before finally going out the show leaving this place.

Hendra who had seen our tension had finally come.

"are you having a problem with her again ?"

"no, just misunderstanding"

"is he the one who called you ?"

"no, he was my schoolmate, oiya hen you know him ?"

"just yesterday, I saw him at your opening and he's my client we met when he was out of town, we're business partners now, we're involved in a project together"

I did not want to linger, I resigned and approached my mother who was sitting with Abah.

"Son shofi, Auntie's coming home late now yeah, uda's afternoon once"

"go back to jogja ?"

"no, we stayed at a hotel near here because there were other things too until we came here"

"oo so, thank you aunt has come all the way here "

"equally dear, my shofi mother came home yes easily healthy continue to be happy continue uda can new ghosts hopefully later increase one last ghost"

I could only smile after their departure. Mother who looked at me while squinting her eyes was like teasing even my other brother as well
