76. Early Day Activities.

After two hours of travel Padalarang Jakarta finally they arrived at the home of Toriq's parents. Their arrival was welcomed by Ms. Pomegranate and Mr. Syamsul who stood in front of the terrace of the house.

Annisa got out of the car while holding Rafa who was sleeping.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Annisa.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Ms. Pomegranate and Mr. Syamsul.

Annisa approached Pomegranate Mother and kissed Pomegranate Mother's hand.

“How are you doing Annisa? Healthy?” greet Mother Pomegranate while kissing both cheeks Annisa.

“Alhamdullilah healthy, Mah,” replied Annisa.

Then Annisa approached Mr. Syamsul and kissed Mr. Syamsul's hand.

“Come in,” invite Mother Pomegranate to embrace the back of Annisa.

Annisa followed her in-laws into the house. Pomegranate's mother took Annisa upstairs. Up on the top floor Mother Pomegranate headed to a room and opened the door of the room.

“This is Rafa's room,” said Pomegranate's mother.

Then Mother Pomegranate went into the room.

“Tidurin Rafa here, Nis,” says Mother Pomegranate.

Annisa then went into the room and put Rafa to sleep on the bed. Annisa rubs Rafa's head and kisses Rafa's cheek.

“Let's go to your room and Toriq,” invite Mother Pomegranate.

Then Mother Pomegranate and Annisa came out of Rafa's room and did not forget to close the door to Rafa's room. Pomegranate's mother took Annisa to the room opposite Rafa's room.

“This is your bedroom,” said Ms. Pomegranate then opened the door of the room.

A fairly large room. On the wall above the head of the bed is a picture of Toriq and Annisa when married. On the left side of the bed are pictures of Toriq and Annisa kissing Rafa during Rafa's second birthday. Annisa followed Mother Pomegranate into the room.

“That's the bathroom,” said Ms. Pomegranate pointing towards the door that was to the right of the room.

Toriq entered their room carrying bags and other items. And behind Toriq there was ART that helped Toriq carry the other bag. Toriq kept all those items on the left floor of the bed. After that Toriq immediately dropped himself on the bed and closed his eyes.

“You must be cape, rest first. Later if you are hungry lunch is available at the dining table,” said Ibu Pomegranate.

“Iya,” Annisa replied.

Then Mother Pomegranate came out of Toriq and Annisa's room.

“Pah, do not sleep, we pray dzuhur first,” Annisa wake Toriq who is sleeping on the bed.

“Iya later first, new adzan,” Toriq replied with his eyes closed.

Annisa opened her traveling bag and picked up a long negligee from inside the bag. Annisa heads to the bathroom to get changed. After coming out of the bathroom Toriq was still in his original position and a soft snoring sound was heard.

“Well, even sleeping,” murmured Annisa.

Then Annisa wakes up Toriq to pray dzuhur.

“Pah...bamgun Pah....,” Annisa said while patting Toriq's base of foot.

After waking up Toriq several times, Toriq woke up.

“What's up, Mah?” ask Toriq with a voice characteristic of people waking up.

“Wake up, continue ablution. We pray dzuhur first,” replied Annisa.

Lazily Toriq got out of bed, walking towards the bathroom. After Toriq wudhu they also pray duzhur congregation.

The sound of the builder's Adhan made Toriq wake up from his sleep. Seen beside him his wife was no longer in bed. Toriq opened the bathroom door but his wife was not there. Toriq immediately put on his shirt lying on the floor after spanking his wife. When Toriq opened the door of his room he smelled the aroma of the kitchen spice. He now knows where to find his wife. Quickly Toriq went down to the ground floor to the kitchen. Toriq looked at Annisa who was concocting the seasoning.

“Key again what?” tanya Toriq saw his wife was busy struggling in the kitchen.

“Again making breakfast,” replied Annisa while busy concocting condiments.

“Udah just let it work Mbok Sarmi and ART here ,” said Toriq told Annisa to stop cooking it.

Annisa turned to her husband. She saw her husband look disheveled because he just woke up using a t-shirt upside down. Annisa approached her husband.

“Papah wears the shirt upside down,” whispered Annisa.

Toriq saw the koas he was wearing was indeed upside down.

“Now Papah take a shower first, soon dawn,” whispered Annisa afraid to be heard by ART.

“Mau shower with Mamah,” Toriq whining following Rafa style.

“Mamah has taken a shower,” replied Annisa while continuing her work.

Toriq was still standing in the kitchen.

“Papah, cepet shower!!! Later to his mosque,” whispered Annisa.

Finally, Toriq left the kitchen and returned to his room. Half an hour later Toriq was tidy and ready to depart for dawn prayers at the mosque. Toriq sat at the dinner table waiting for the dawn prayer to reverberate. He looked in the kitchen to see his wife cooking. Finally we heard the sound of the dawn.

“Mah, Papah to mosque, yes. Assalamualaikum,” said Toriq then went to the mosque together with Mr. Syamsul.

Annisapun stopped his cooking activities to perform dawn prayers.

“Mamah,” call Toriq from the kitchen door.

“What?” asked Annisa who only turned her head briefly to Toriq.

“Sini,” call Toriq.

“In the meantime, a little more,” replied Annisa.

Mbok Sarmi approaches Annisa.

“Sini Mbok continues, Non,” said Mbok Sarmi took over the cookware from the hands of Annisa.

“Thank you, yes Mbok,” Annisa said.

“The fried rice is already seasoned. Just wait to mature,” Annisa told Mbok Sarmi.

“Iya, Non,” replied Mbok Sarmi.
