The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 134 - Everything For You (END)

"Mmm, later Om will also know for himself on his H day. Oh yeah, can I see and hold Chand?"

"Please. No one forbids. You are also unclenya" replied Rahul.

"Thank you"

The aqiqah event began. A series of events took place smoothly and solemnly. Starting from the opening delivered by the host, who said hello and welcome to the invited guests. Continued with the recitation of the holy verse of the Quran led by ustadzah.

The greeting given by Rahul, by saying his prayers and gratitude for the presence of a small hero who has complemented the happiness of his extended family.

Then the prayer and sholawat events. Where baby Chand was carried by Rahul and Zahra as his parents, and taken around the people present to cut his hair little by little while chanting the Prophet's prayer. The event closed with aqqah studies and lectures delivered by the postgraduate.

*******

A week after Chand's aqiqah event, Rahul takes her with Zahra Kedesa. This was his first time returning to his wife's hometown after his son was born and Zahra's memory returned. Zahra was stunned to see the village where she was born and raised. A little bit of that place has changed from before.

But the vibes are still the same as before. The air is still cool and fresh. It can still make him feel comfortable and at home in that place. He misses that place so much. It felt like he had been trapped in another world for a long time which made him forget about his own world.

"Hows it? Do you remember, with the atmosphere of this village? Your birth village, where did we first meet?" Rahul asked as they exited the parked car on the side of the paved road, which was slightly destroyed by flash floods the other day.

"Yes. Although this village has changed a lot, but the nuance is still the same as before. Makes me miss my childhood, with my parents here. But baby, those days will never come back, because Mom left me for good"

Zahra stared at the green rice fields that were stretching before her wryly.

Given the happy childhood with both parents, who will never be able to return again makes his feelings melo. Rahul looked at his wife with empathy.

"Mother has indeed departed from this world, but she will always be here" Gently Rahul pointed and attached the tip of his index finger to the middle of Zahra's chest.

"You know, what did Mom say in her last seconds?"

"What?" Zahra asked curiously.

"He told me to always make you happy, and never hurt you. And I promised I'd always fulfill Mom's last request. But this sadness of yours will make it difficult for me to keep that promise. You don't want to make your mom sad because of you?"

"Yes you're right. Now Mom is happy in heaven. And I also have to be happy here" Zahra tried to put a smile on her face while kissing Chand's head in her arms.

"You're not alone. It's me, Chand and my parents. You can think of them as your own parents. Because they love you so much too. And they already think of you as their own daughter" Rahul embraced and comforted his wife.

The journey resumed. Rahul directs his car to the waterfall river. One of the places in the village that holds their beautiful memories since the beginning of the meeting. And now they're back there with Chand. Children of their marriage.

Rahul really feels like he has become the perfect man now. He was very happy and grateful for every second he passed with his wife and little son.

If time could stop, he would. Because he does not want the good and happy times with his two loved ones to pass.

So they just play on the edge of the river, on the bridge and meadow while enjoying the beauty of the natural scenery of the waterfall, and the expanse of flowers that grow with its bloom. And all those moments they capture with a selfie.

By noon Rahul brought Zahra to a place that was still in the village area.

"Please Mr. Madam" Their arrival was cordially and courteously welcomed by everyone who was in that place. They all lined up and bowed respectfully as soon as they saw Rahul and Zahra get out of the car. It seems that they are all Rahul employees or Dirgantara group.

"Sat, what is this place? Since when is there such a grand building here?" Zahra was stunned to see a large and unique building, whose building design had the appearance of many windows combined with bricks.

The building has three floors, with a large yard. Zahra was astonished. When was the building built? As a native of this village since birth, only this time he saw there was a building standing in that place.

As if there were no. And if he is not wrong, the building is a school with a design using the concept of ala-ala villa at the top. Makes it look artistic and feel cool to look at.

"This is the school I made for you. Because of me, want to be a wingless angel to you?"

"You mean?"

"You forget, when we accompany the children to learn on the edge of the rice field first? You once said that you feel in love with those who have to lose their school because of the tragedy. And you also say, whoever makes it possible for them to feel like they are going back to school, that person will be a wingless angel to you.

You didn't forget, did you? Because, I will provide free education for children who cannot afford to start from Kindergarten to High School. And later after they graduate, they will also have the opportunity to get a scholarship to be able to continue their education at the university in the city, for those who are able to achieve achievements and get champions"

Zahra was amazed to hear the words of her husband. He did not expect that the man would do such a big thing to realize his dream in this village!

He knows that Rahul loves him very much. But she never imagined, that the love Rahul had for her turned out to be that big. Sometimes he feels like it's all a dream. And he did not want to wake up, so that the dream never ended.

With overflowing feelings of joy and happiness, Zahra hugged Rahul and Chand. Two of his beloved men who have given him priceless happiness.

"You are not only a wingless angel to me, but to all the children and parents of this village. You have given them hope and happiness. You are an angel to this village. And I'm very lucky to have you. King, the owner of my heart" Zahra stroked Rahul's face. Then took her husband's hand and he put it on her chest.

"And I am the luckiest man to have you as an angel who has given me a little angel. The queen of my heart. I love you guys so much. And I will do anything to keep you happy with me" In love, Rahul kissed Zahra's forehead. Then he turned to his son's forehead.

"I will always be happy with my beloved husband and son" Zahra kissed baby Chand in Rahul's hands.

One of the female employees holding a tray containing a pair of scissors decorated with ribbons approached them. Then thrust that tray. Rahul took the scissors in the tray, and handed it to Zahra who accepted it with pleasure.

Then Rahul hands Chand over to his employee, who carries him carefully.

The ribbon cutting event as a sign of the inauguration of the school also arrived. Zahra used scissors in her hand to cut the ribbon. Rahul held his wife's hand gently.

The two exchanged glances and smiles full of happiness, which they hoped forever the smile would always accompany their lives.
