Reza and Andien decide to have dinner outside. Andien looked beautiful that night when he was ready to go to the restaurant. Reza, who was waiting in the living room, was still busy with his phone, so that the presence of Andien who was already standing in front of him did not bother him at all.
"Mas Reza!" Is that his dinner?" Andien asked slightly bowing his body with both hands clutched behind his back while saying half-whispering.
Reza flinched then looked up slowly at his wife from the tip of his foot to the end of his hair and locked his gaze on the perfect face of the wife.
"Darling!" Why would you just want dinner this pretty?" Asked Reza who could not bear to see the clear face, as if holding back his steps to not have to leave the house tonight.
"I'm hungry baby!" Ketus Andien then walked alone to the exit.
"I..iya dear, wait!" We're eating out." Reza took Andien's brown Coat and wrapped the beautiful body so as not to be the center of attention of restaurant visitors.
In the next few minutes, a luxury restaurant that is a subscription to Andien is waiting for them with a menu that has been ordered Andien first. The two enjoyed their meal while planning when they could catch up with the children for a joint fast in Jakarta.

...****************...
The first day of Ramadan.
The first night of Ramadan, the four Reza children are ready to go to the nearest mosque to perform tarawih prayers with their grandparents.
Because this is the first night of tarawih, children are only astonished to see so many people who flocked to the mosque with their prayer equipment with faces that have been washed with ablution water.
"Grandfather!" Is this the atmosphere of Ramadan in Indonesia?" Fariz asked so amazed by the Muslims in the housing complex of his grandfather out of their house to the mosque.
"Yes baby!" Indonesia is the most Islamic population in the world, so no wonder they are very enthusiastic if the arrival of Ramadan by attending mosques to perform Ramadan. Although gradually the mosque will be reduced to worship because many are busy again chasing the world.
"Why can that be grandpa?"
"There are busy preparing Lebaran by buying lebaran clothes, he said, think about what cakes will be prepared for Lebaran and more generally routine events back home to meet their relatives to celebrate Lebaran together after making a living for a full year." Said Mr. Handoyo to his two grandchildren when they had performed tarawih worship.
"Well cool!" Al can not wait to go home to be able to Lebaran with his mother's family in the village. Do my grandparents want to come?"
Deggs....
Mr. Handoyo felt very sad about the incident in which he could make his father Andien died because of his oral sin.
"We'll see, baby, because grandfather is also not necessarily strong when traveling quite heavy because of the congestion along the road to each village on the island of Java with a different direction." Mr. Handoyo quibbled.
"Well!" Though Fariz and Al will do circumcision in Oma's house. Well already, it's okay ko, grandpa and grandma don't come either no problem." Al looked sad.
"Glam!" Say these three men simultaneously.
Calista approached his grandfather and sat down under his grandfather's feet, taking his grandfather's hand and kissing the back of the hand full of reverence.
"Grandpa pardon Calista never made grandfather disappointed or hurt. Since mom and dad aren't here, Calista represents them to apologize to grandpa, if both of our parents ever ruined grandpa's dream." Calista said as he stared at the old face with tears of regret.
"Darling!" What are you doing Calista?" It's only your grandparents who have to apologize to you." Said the grandfather who felt sentimental at this moment.
"Regardless of whose fault was wrong, Calista apologized to grandfather as a young girl who was the descendant of grandfather.
Now his three brothers are participating in the same ritual as Calista to apologize to others before entering the first Ramadan.
Now Calista's turn to turn to his grandmother who sat next to his grandfather with tears waiting for his turn to be crucified his four grandchildren.
"Grandma!" Forgive Calista and thank you for giving birth to such a great son as our father. Please forgive me if during his life less devoted to grandmother and ever make grandmother embarrassed and disappointed." Calista's words increasingly make both parents his father, feel increasingly claustrophobic with sentences that are very touching to the soul of their body.
Grandma Susan hugged her most special granddaughter.
"Calista, if God had restored time, perhaps grandma would have waited for your presence when she first appeared in this world." Susan's grandmother's words were full of harus.
"No need to worry about grandma, there is still a chance of the arrival of the next twin grandchildren from mama and Aunt Rania who are currently otw to be present in their womb." Calista liquefied again the atmosphere that almost made them dissolve in sadness.
Everyone chuckled and sat in front of their grandparents.
"Fariz!" Did you also practice the ritual of apology before entering Ramadan?" Ask Mr. Handoyo.
"Yes grandpa!" When we were three years old, we had been taught by mama like that even though we had not undergone fasting but, the values of good moral formation have been instilled in us. " Answer Fariz.
"Mama said, Everyone has sin in their past, but Allah always gives His servants the opportunity to improve themselves at all times by performing many prayers to repent one of which is to perform the fast of Ramadan as best as possible so that the sins of his past are forgiven by Allah until the day of victory comes, although one day His faithful servant will fall back by repeating the same sins, but still repent again before the death comes.
If his life is at the end of his neck, the opportunity to repent is of no benefit." Camilla Say.
So while healthy, strong and still have the breadth of fortune and sound mind, then continue to repent, God willing, the mercy of God is greater than His wrath.
Never despair of your repentance, for the greatest sin that God cannot forgive is one who despairs at His mercy, one who will end his life by suicide." Calista Timpal.
Lady Susan and Mr. Handoyo are now disciples of their own four grandchildren who are giving their knowledge at this time.
"God willing!" Andien!" Mommy misses you more, son, come home soon baby, we're waiting for you. You are a great mother above us from your husband's parents, who educated your four children without the presence of a father they were growing up with and who needed a father figure who had abandoned them." Susan's grandmother said in Javanese so that Calista did not understand what she was saying.
"Grandfather, grandma, let's have a tadarus together this first night." Take Calista.
