Mother To Aina

BUA 2

Even the day as usual Alvin read a bedtime story to Aina. Coincidentally tonight the story that Alvin read is a story about the prophet Yusuf As.

"Papa Yusuf was not even banished to Sumul?" ask Aina.

"Not because the prophet Joseph knew that our fellow men should not be angry with each other, nor should they be vengeful, nor should they be jealous. So dear."

"Papa Ngantuk." said Aina while rubbing her eyes.

"Jaudah now Aina read do'a first huh. Try to hear me."

"Bismika Allaahuma ahyaa wa bismika amuutu."

It means: "By saying Your name, O God, I live and by saying Your name I die"

Aina Yell

"Pinter yaudah is now bobo ya." said Alvin while hugging and kissing his daughter.

Alvin made sure first if Aina really slept. After that, Alvin went to his own room and returned to work that was delayed all day because Aina was always attached to him.

It didn't feel like Alvin was sitting at his desk for hours. It turned out to be midnight. Before he went to bed Alvin went back to Aina's room to check on her.

Alvin sits beside Aina's bed, stroking her daughter's hair and reciting a do'a :

(Robbiy habliy mil ladunka dzurriyatan thoyyibatan innaka sami’ud du’a’)

“Yes my Lord, give me from Your side a good son. Verily, You are the Hearer of prayer"

(Robbij’alniy muqimash sholati wa min dzurriyyati robbana wa taqobbal du’a’)

“Yes my Lord, make me and my children and those who continue to pray, O our Lord, please allow my prayer"

After that Alvin kissed Aina's forehead and hair and laid her body beside Aina. I don't know Alvin wants to be with his daughter tonight.

Raising a child himself is certainly not an easy thing especially Alvin is still relatively young. Fortunately, many have always supported it. But destiny is not to be mourned.

Early in the morning even before the time to wake up Aina had woken up first and then hugged Alvin who was still lying next to him.

"Assynolajet. My daughter woke up."

Aina who had just opened her eyes was not yet willing to respond. He hugged Alvin again.

"Did Papa pray at dawn to the mosque?"

Aina shook her head.

"Aunty Zia was ngajakin Aina went to school Abang Azzam loh. Aina want to come?"

"Papa?"

"Papa has to go to the office, baby. Yesterday I played with Aina. Aina's coming with aunty Zia?"

Aina nodded.

At 06:00 Alvin was done taking care of Aina. Aina is neat now it's Alvin's own turn to prepare.

"Well, Aina is ready. Aina wait for Papa to be ready."

"Yes Papa."

Like a child in general, Aina who had not waited for a long time was bored. He came out of his room and went to Alvin's.

"Papa. Papa." called out to him while hitting the door with his two small palms.

"Why baby? Papa has taught Aina, if you enter the house, enter the room or enter the room what should it be?" alvin asked after opening the door and crouched down in front of Aina.

"Greetings Papa's ikum." (Note: This is not about harassing greetings, my friend. Just follow the corner of a 3-year-old child who is not yet perfect in the pronunciation of greetings.)

Alvin rubbed Aina's head.

"Let's see Papa Aina come back."

"Okay dear yuk leaving. Would you like to bring some milk?" ask Alvin.

"Buy aty Zia."

"Judah, we are leaving."

"Ndong" Aina said as she stretched out her hand.

"Got a heavy Aina" said Alvin and stood up. It seemed that Aina was already pouting and her lips were trembling.

"Hahaha Papa is kidding me dear. Hmm so gurgling the son shalehah his Papa." said Alvin then kissed Aina.

"Son." replied Aina with a frown.

"Uduu so even nih mr putli?" alvin said by imitating the style of a child.

"Papa's naughty."

"Haha yes, sorry. Papa was just joking sorry okay." said Alvin while rubbing Aina's chubby cheeks.

Aina nodded still while pouting.

"Smile dong if the Papa is sorry."

Aina still refused to smile. Alvin lifted Aina up and kissed her face to the stomach until Aina laughed with a pang of joy.

"Haha dah Papa dah Papa." said Aina in the middle of her keenness.

"Well, don't laugh. Kiss was Papa." said Alvin.

Aina according to her kissing Alvin's cheek.

"Okay now we're leaving" Alvin said as he moved Aina onto his shoulder.

"Yeee is high" said Aina who was indeed a pleasure carried on her shoulders.

Alvin smiled, his determination was always the same as the slightest thing that made Aina happy and good for Aina then that was what Alvin would do.

Arriving at Arvan and Zia's house, after greeting her uncle and aunt Aina immediately looked for her brother.

"Aty Zia, bang Zam where did bang come back?"

"It's in Aina's room to her room."

Aina immediately ran into the room.

"Don't run, baby" Zia said. But Aina had already gone a long way.

"Nitip yes brother, bang. Alvin will return to the office immediately pick me up."

"Here it is calm."

"Will not go to the hospital?"

"Later on. Azzam wants to be in the same place both of them."

"Alvin's had breakfast yet? Breakfast together here is the same brother" said Zia.

"Dek pake in bargain for his art mah."

"Allah is equally good at this time."

"Well, I'm really angry" said Alvin.

"Alvin diem." said Arvan.

"Udah ah why the hell. This father has been on the children also still like a storm."

"There's breakfast. If you don't want to yaudah." said Zia while leaving the two.

"Not on the deck?" ask Arvan.

"It's not the same with Alvin."

"Yes but..."

"Udah bang don't work. Alvin used to eat alone."

"Yes, you are alone."

"Hard Alvin emang himself but make no mistake that ngantri much if the intention of mah looking for nemenin eat aja many who want."

"Like you Vin" said Arvan leaving Alvin.

Aina and Arzia's family were on their way to Azzam's school. Aina seemed happy to tell a story with Azzam along the way.

"Work later adek school at school brother aja ya."

"Why?"

"Yes, let your brother take care of you later. Women, women should be taken care of. Is it yeah?" azzam asked for his father's approval.

"Yes dear." replied Arvan while driving.

"Aina wants to check." chirps Aina.

"How old is Aina now?" ask Zia.

"Tli." replied Aina.

"You can if Aina wants to go to school. Aina just said to Papa. Later Aina school at Abang Azzam school aja let all uncle anterin" said Arvan.

"Yee Adek same school brother" said Azzam.

"Yee check." said Aina following Azzam.

Arriving at Azzam school, Azzam immediately entered the classroom and prepared to perform while Arvan, Zia and Aina sat in a place provided for guests.

"Which one?" ask Aina.

"It's still ready to be, baby in a minute" said Arvan.

Finished with his performance Azzam approached Aina.

"Adek follow brother yuk."

"Where'd you go bang?" ask Zia.

"Buy your ice cream."

"Buy e klim. Come on bang." said Aina.

"May ya bun." buju Azzam.

"Jaudah but heart. Guarded by her."

Aina goes with Azzam to buy ice cream, not far away and still be able to be monitored by Arvan and Zia and they let the children go alone.

When I got the ice cream Aina looked cool with ice cream until walking did not see see see. As a result, he had to be willing to lose his ice cream that landed on the ground. But not only that before falling ice cream in his hands first dirty the clothes of others who were accidentally hit by Aina.

"Eh aunty sorryin ya." said Azzam.

"It's okay, baby. Aunty is okay. It's okay too, right?" asked the woman while squatting to equalize her position with Aina.

Approached like that Aina even cried.

"Chooking" said the woman as she rubbed Aina's cheek.

"Sorry Aty" Aina said while crying. The woman felt anxious herself she immediately hugged Aina.

"OK baby. Aunty also apologized. Oh, what's his name?"

"Awine."

"If this is a brother, his name is Azzam ya." said the woman as she looked at Azzam. The woman knew because she read the name tag on the uniform Azzam was wearing.

"Yes." replied Azzam.

From a distance Arvan who saw children interacting with people immediately approached them.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Zia said.

"Wa'alaikumsalam mother." replied Azzam.

The woman immediately released her embrace from Aina.

"Why bang?" ask Arvan.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I accidentally bumped into this scene. The ice cream's falling, she's crying." explained the woman."

"Oh yes sorry to introduce me Haifa" said the woman again as she reached out to Zia.

"Zia." while accepting the woman's hand.

As for Arvan, the woman only cupped her hands in her chest.

"Yes mother was hit by this aunty. Keep ice cream adek hit by aunty shirt keeps falling. But I'm sorry about aunty. Isn't that aunty?"

"Yes mom. I'm sorry I was also slow to hug because I was too anxious. Her grandfather is beautiful and very nice. Rarely does a child of this age dare to apologize." Haifa explained.

Meanwhile Aina was still crying. Either because of the ice cream that fell or because they feel guilty about dirtying other people's clothes. I don't know only Aina understood with her cries.

"Honey here" Zia said and carried Aina.

"Aina's been asking to forgive her aunty?"

Aina nodded.

"Why is Aina still crying?" ask Zia.

"Aina naughty. Later Papa even tama Aina. If Papa even Aina tama but?"
