CHAPTERS. 241. Welcoming Eid al-Fitr

Happy Reading's..

The bedroom was originally neatly arranged and beautiful according to the owner of the room which was a woman. And now it has turned into like the Titanic ship that was destroyed and messy its contents are not even worth to live on. But the Maid no one could comment could only watch and watch with what his employer's son did.

"I won't allow you to come back with your family, because you are mine and I'm the one who has contributed to your life all this time".

......................

Moonlight that night was very beautiful and at the same time a witness of the three couples who are drunk beautiful love that is intertwined in the halal bond of marriage. The three couples sleep in their sleep and meet with their beautiful dreams.

The sound of takbir echoing from the Toa Mosque around the elite housing complex woke mama Elisabeth.

"Alhamdulillah, thank you very much O Allah You still meet Me and my family at the end of the holy month of Ramadan and welcome the Eid al-Fitr holiday, I really hope my two daughters Emilia and Eliana come to see me".

Mama Elisabeth uncovers her blanket and walks towards the bathroom as she wants to clean her body immediately and rushes to perform the morning prayers before going down to the kitchen to check the food menu after they come home from the Ied prayer.

Mama Elisabeth prayed fervently at dawn and prayed to Allah SWT to open the doors of her two daughters' hearts to receive their marriage. After performing the morning prayer, Mama Elisabeth walked towards the ground floor where the kitchen was located. Mama Elisabeth saw the chef was busy making and cooking food that was in accordance with his directions. And all the food menu is typical of Indonesia and most liked by his five children and his son-in-law.

"How does it feel Madam is there anything lacking or what?" ask the chef who has not worked at the Villa for a month to replace his family and immediately trusted to be the main chef at the Villa thanks to the iftar food that Rian made and able to make Zack and Zoe very take their time eating..

"It feels right, but the rendang add a little big chili to feel the pain again" ordered Mama Elisabeth who cooked rendang to the taste of Emilia.

"So just a meat rendang that needs to be added a little curly chili or just big chili Madam?" ask Rian as the chef.

"Yes, what about the Makassar coto is it done?" mama Elisabeth asked when she had finished tasting opor, rendang, goat gulai, and, sate Ayam and there are still many typical Nusantara foods that will be served on the dining table that will later arouse the appetite of family members.

"If the cottages are all meat and the innards are ripe, which is not yet the rest of the rhombus and water and the season that has not been" replied the new chef.

Although he was still working at the Villa pak Hendry residence, but was able to make dishes that fit the tongue of members of the Hendry extended family. Mama Elisabeth was satisfied with Rian's cooking.

"Remember to present everything after the ied prayer and my son has gathered here" said Mama Elisabeth.

"Well Madam, as the madam would have liked" Rian replied.

"Thank you" said Mama Elisabeth.

Rian returned a smile from Elisabeth's mother.

"The smile is similar to someone, but who and why does it feel so familiar in my eyes?".

Mama Elisabeth left her kitchen and walked towards the second floor where her room was. At first her room was on the ground floor, but Mama Elisabeth wanted her room moved upstairs and didn't want to use her ex-wife's room. After learning that Linda was the one who planned the kidnapping and torture of her twins, Ratna and Arman. Mama Elisabeth called a handyman to renovate the room into a library.

Mama Elisabeth walked up to her king-size bed to wake her husband with a dream. Mama Elisabeth slowly climbed into the bed and slowly shook the body of Mr. Hendri to immediately wake up from his sleep.

"Mas woke up dong, it's 5 nih". said Mama Elisabeth while looking at the clock attached to the wall of her room.

"Either why the more days I love you and your face more and more shining in my eyes" said Mr. Hendry who stroked Mama Elisabeth's cheek.

Elisabeth's mother lowered her head in embarrassment at her husband's praise. His face looked red like a teenager who was seduced by the adoration of his heart.

"If your face is like this, I want to pounce on you even I don't want to stop doing it with you" said Mr. Hendry who lowered his voice right in Mama Elisabeth's ear.

Mama Elisabeth blushed her face so much that she was embarrassed by the temptation for the temptation launched by Mr. Hendry.

"Already aahh Mas, the time for dawn prayer and then we go to the mosque with children". said Mama Elisabeth who refused the wishes of Mr. Hendry because the time is getting closer to the time of Eid al-Fitr prayer.

Mr. Hendry just smiled when he saw his wife immediately stood up and walked towards his closet. Mr. Hendry feels like a newlywed who is back excited to fulfill his responsibility as a husband that is to support the inner birth of his wife.

Mama Elisabeth took the clothes that her husband would wear as well as the clothes they would wear while performing Eid al-Fitr prayers at the mosque in congregation.

"My decision is right to marry yourself again dear and thanks to your presence by my side our children become devoted and obedient children to me and our children are increasingly unable to do anything more, Thank you very much for your decision to accept my application".

Mama Elisabeth walked outside her room because she wanted to wake up all her children and nieces who deliberately stayed at the Villa to celebrate and perform Ied prayers together and in congregation at the mosque. But Mama Elisabeth knocked on the door of her room, Arya, the door opened wide and popped out Baby Zi's head.

"Grandma happy Eid al-Fitr, sorry Zidane and Grandma" said Zidane who immediately hugged his grandma thigh.

Mama Elisabeth returned a hug from her granddaughter, Baby Zidane. Mama Elisabeth carried her grandson's body despite the increasing difficulty to carry the body of Baby Zi who every day was getting taller and bigger.

"Where are you, dear Daddy, Zi is alone, where are your twin sisters?" mama Elisabeth asked, who glanced in her son's room and did not see the whereabouts of Arya and Delia, her daughter-in-law.

"Same Dad's still in the dressing room if the twin sister is in her room Amanda Grandma's sister" Baby Zi replied.

"In that case, Zi went down with the grandma while waking up Aunty with the other Uncle" mama Elisabeth said as she closed the door to Arya Wiguna Albert Kim Said's room, which had opened because of Baby Zi.

Mama Elisabeth did not know that all the other members of her family had gathered on the ground floor to prepare for the mosque to perform congregational prayers. Mama Elisabeth went down the steps and walked straight to the living room where her extended family had gathered. Mama Elisabeth's steps stopped after being in the room and her tears immediately dripped without cue.
