"What's so good, son?" ask Syifa confused.
"I don't know, Mom, Robert either. Weird." Robert shook his head, then touched his thumping chest. "Try me, Mommy holds Robert's chest .. Robert's heart is also in tau."
"The name of a living person is definitely stubborn, Rob. There's-there's you," chuckles Joe who was driving, when his son pulled Syifa's hand to touch his chest.
"It's just your feeling this time, son. Because Mommy's sure .. everything's gonna be okay." Syifa smiled and tried to calm her son.
'Oh Allah .. May what Mommy says be true, everything will be fine, ' inner Robert.
A few minutes later, they finally arrived at Abi Hamdan's house.
However, all three seemed astonished, because many children and their parents were sitting on plastic chairs that were just as much. To the extent that there are some in Abi Hamdan's courtyard as well.
"Goddess ..!!" Robert threw out a hug as Umi Maryam came out of the house. While Joe and Syifa immediately kissed hands while saying greetings.
"Assalamualaikum, Umi."
"Greetings Walaikum" answered Umi Maryam, then kissed Robert on the top of his head.
"This is fruit, make Umi same Abi," said Joe who gave a white plastic containing two kilos of oranges.
"Thank you, Joe, it's a hassle." Umi Maryam accepted it with pleasure, with a sweet smile.
"By the way ..that's a lot of Umi people, is there any objection?" syifa asked curiously while looking at some people there.
"Oh that's no free mass circumcision, Fa."
"Circumcision?!" Hearing the word circumcision, Robert immediately rounded his eyes. His face immediately stiffened.
"Wahh .. nice dong no mass circumcision. If Robert is on the list, can't he, Mi?" joe asked who seemed to want his son circumcision.
"Daddy, what the hell is it? Robert doesn't want—"
"Opa's grandson has come, apparently," interrupted Abi Hamdan who suddenly came to them, then immediately snatched Robert's body from the front and kissed his forehead. "Opa from earlier, wait for you. Oh yes, Opa also has a new dress for you. We're changing clothes now, okay?"
Opa Hamdan immediately stepped inside the house, then took the grandson to Syifa's room.
"Kok change clothes? Why, Opa?" ask Robert who seems worried. To be honest, when he heard Joe say about the mass circumcision list, he was already terrified. The point is that he is afraid of being circumcised.
"Kan Opa bought it for you, and it was meant to be worn today." Abi Hamdan dropped Robert on the bed. Up there is already a model of a white robe and peci, and there is a new soccer ball as well. "Opa also bought you a ball, son. Later if you're healed .. We play ball, yes?"
"I'm cured?!" Abi Hamdan's words sounded ambiguous at all, certainly making Robert confused. "meaning?"
The shirt Robert was wearing had been successfully detached, now there are pants.
"And you'll be circumcised today, son."
"WHAT?! SUNATT?!" Robert screeched in his shock. Jeans that now reach below the knee are immediately held by him.
"Why, Son?" abi Hamdan asked, astonished at what his grandson was doing, but a little more of it would be removed from his body. "Lock quickly removed, so we can go directly in line in front of the mosque."
"Opa ... Robert doesn't want to circumcise!" robert blatantly.
"Why not? Don't be afraid, son. It won't hurt. And lots of friends too, so you don't have to worry."
"Lho, Son? You why?" asked Syifa who when she came out of her room hit her body. The boy immediately hugged Syifa and inched back. As if asking for protection.
"Mommy ... Robert doesn't want to be circumcised, Mom! Help Robert!" the door pleaded with a frightened face.
"Right ... Opa already listin you circumcision. In addition to many friends, later you will also get snacks and gifts. You're not happy with the gift, are you?"
"If it's not the gift car Robert doesn't like the same gift!" robert with a head.
Joe who is still outside has now gone inside and approached them. He overheard what Abi-in-law said.
"So Daddy had a chat with Mr. RT, about registration circumcision. And it turns out that you have been registered with circumcision with Opa, dear. So let's go," Joe asked while stroking the top of his son's head, but Robert immediately brushed it off roughly.
"Daddy is the same as Opa! Robert doesn't want to be circumcised!" he nodded while scowling. He also tightened his embrace to Syifa, although now the pants he was wearing had sagged to the feet.
Robert did not care about his appearance that looked as attractive as a doang, which was yellow. But most importantly, he did not become circumcised.
"Lho, why don't you want circumcision? You don't want to come with Daddy he said, so convert? Have you changed your mind now?" joe didn't understand.
"Robert wants to come with Daddy to convert. But no need to circumcise, Dad."
"Where can you, Rob."
"Your Daddy's right, son. That can't." Opa Hamdan. "Circumcision is obligatory in Islam, so you must be circumcised."
"But Robert is not ready. Robert does not want circumcision now, Opa," said Robert reasoned.
"If not now, when?" ask Abi Hamdan. "You're so good, son. You also want to have a sister. Circumcision is good fitting still small .. let the pain not feel."
"Atta hasn't circumcised yet, Opa. Though he was the same age as Robert and he was also Muslim from birth." Robert looked for another reason, in order to escape circumcision.
"Who has not circumcised?! Today he also participated in mass circumcision. It even came with his father," said Joe.
"Daddy don't lie!" Robert couldn't believe it.
"Oath. Why is Daddy lying? His papa's car was parked in front of Opa Hamdan's house, Rob. Look at yourself if you don't believe."
Robert immediately tilted his body and looked out through the door, to be able to see his Papa Atta's car. And it turned out to be true, there was his car there. Next to Joe's car.
Some car parents of his friends, Robert can recognize. Because each of them often give each other a ride.
'Shit! Why did Atta actually participate in mass circumcision as well? He should not have to come, he also said that he was afraid of being circumcised, Robert's mind was upset.
"Tuuuhhh .. In addition to many friends, there is also Atta who participated in circumcision, son. When you don't want to follow? Excited to know," said Abi Hamdan who is still trying to be patient to be able to persuade. He also directly embraced his grandson's body.
'What's wrong, anyway? People cut their canes in exclamation time? This opa is weird! I just don't want to be circumcised! The point!' robert in his heart.
"It's true what Opa and Daddy said, son!" Syifa stroked the cheek of the child. Looks like he's siding with Joe and Abi Hamdan. Robert asked for his protection. "Mommy has also heard.if before circumcision it will be drugged he said, so it will not hurt."
"Mommy don't believe it, while Mommy herself 'will never feel it and ...." Robert's words immediately hung, then he held his head while grimacing and closed his eyes. "Aduuuhhhh .. Robert's head suddenly became very sick, appearing to be circling as well," he added later and began to look at him.
...Is it really pain just acting?🤣...
