The Holy Love of Amayra

Chapter 82. Aqiqah Rey event

...🍀🍀🍀...

Judging from how Nilam spoke, surely everyone knew that his apology was not sincere to Amayra and Satria. "I'm sorry, mama's sorry to you guys. Don't separate mama from Rey.." Nilam clenched his hands together and apologized to the couple. Nilam showed a clear face in front of everyone there.

Satria starts to open her mouth, but Amayra hints at her husband to shut up. This time he will talk.

"Mama don't be like this" Amayra held Nilam's hand and asked the woman to stand up.

"You'll forgive me, won't you, Amayra?" asked Nilam with teary eyes looking at the woman.

"I'm sorry, but I can't forgive you now. I can be silent if I am insulted, but if my father. My mother hurt my father and made my father sad. I will still move on as my husband has told me to," Amayra looked firmly at her mother-in-law. He does not want to be trampled again by Nilam.

O Allah, forgive me. What is the attitude of this servant including disobedience to parents?

"Allah is forgiving, why don't you? So arrogant of you!" Nilam went up black after hearing the stern words from his son-in-law.

"Enough ma! This was Satria and Amayra's decision. It's also your fault, apologizing insincerely!" Hardik Cakra on his wife. For a long time he could have a heart attack due to the actions of his wife.

Cakra took Nilam away from there. Satria also walked with Amayra's hand to return to their room. "Satria, Amayra, wait!"

Satria and Amayra turned to Bram who called them.

"Can I still meet Rey even if you've moved?" asked Bram who was worried about not being able to see his son again, because Amayra also forbade Nilam to meet his granddaughter. Though he could have issued a letter of agreement that he used as an excuse to threaten Amayra to seize Rey, but he did not discuss it again. He wanted to gain trust and good image in the eyes of Amayra and her half-sister.

"Sister can still meet him, nor will I forbid. As long as you don't cross the line, meet Rey when my husband and I are home" Amayra said firmly. Satria smiled at the words of his wife, the innocent might have started to mature.

"Yes, that's enough. Thank you, Amayra, Satria." said Bram with a gentle smile.

Amayra and Satria were amazed, why Bram agreed without getting angry like before. Strangely enough, Bram who inherited an emotional attitude like Nilam, can be this calm after his surgery.

Amayra and Satria returned to their room. Similarly to Bram who was still feeling dizzy, he returned to his room to rest. Tomorrow he takes time off, to attend Rey's aqiqah event.

Before going to bed he saw the book become a better person, he read the book carefully. After reading the book, Bram read the book teach me Islam seriously. Until finally he fell asleep on the sofa because he stayed up late reading books. Before, he wanted to rest.

The next day, the study mothers had gathered at the large house of the Calabrian family to attend the ceremony as well as Rey's aqiqah. Anna, who had just arrived at dawn, also joined. He wore a veil and a covered shirt to attend the lecture.

Fania Amayra's best friend also came there to congratulate and give a gift to baby R. The atmosphere of the house looks warm with many people who come to congratulate, but when many people come to the house and approach Amayra. The mother of the baby R looked uneasy.

Especially when he saw mothers who had insulted him first. There was fear in his heart. Remember the incident at school, when everyone blasphemed him.

Istighfar May, nothing like that will happen again. There's Satria and the others here.

The woman stroked her chest while holding Rey in a batik cloth she wrapped around her body. Amayra sat alone and saw people passing around her. While Satria and Cakra were busy welcoming the guests.

Anna who had just walked out of her room, saw the unrest on Amayra's face, especially when she looked at the guests who were already present.

"May, what's wrong?" anna asked, patting Amayra on the shoulder.

"Eh. It's okay, brother, uh An.." Amayra looked confused and unfocused.

"I'm fine, I'm fine" he replied limply.

"Are you sore? Here, I'm the one carrying Rey.." Anna spread out her hands.

"That's okay An.Let me do it," Amayra smiled again.

Anna frowned, she already knew the attitude of her friend who would always say fine when she was restless or there was a problem. Anna doesn't force Amayra to tell stories, she just says things to encourage her.

After 15 minutes of waiting, finally Mr. Ustadz who will lead the event has been present there with a tall man, tanned skin and handsome face. He wears a white peci.

"Assalamualaikum the father of Cakra and the father of Satria," He was Arifin ustadz, who had taught many religious knowledge to Satria.

"Waalaikumsalam pak ustad, please enter sir," Satria and Cakra welcomed the two men.

"Oh yes and this" Cakra glanced at the young man standing beside ust. Arifin with a friendly smile and two dimples on her cheeks.

"This is my son, Iqbal." Ust. Arifin introduces his son Iqbal.

"Oh this is Iqbal, the father who went to college in Cairo?" satria asked as she extended her hand to shake hands with Iqbal. Iqbal replied to Satria's hand in a friendly manner.

"True Mr. Satria," replied Ust. Arifin with a smile.

"I'm Iqbal sir, greetings," said Iqbal politely.

"I'm Satria, welcome to our home" he said.

Called Iqbal? I am no stranger to that name.

Iqbal and his father. Arifin enters the luxurious house of Calabria. They were greeted with great respect there. Not wanting to linger, Ustad Arifin immediately gave the opening sentence and a little lecture about Aqiqah. Ust. Arifin welcomed everyone there warmly, not forgetting she read bismillah at every going to do something.

Aqiqah itself is the process of slaughtering animals on the seventh day after the baby is born. Aqiqah becomes a sunnah recommended by the Prophet in order to redeem a child. Rasulullah shallallahu wa ‘alaihi wasallam

عليه وسلم- قَالَ « كُلُّ غُلاَمٍ رَهِينَةٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ تُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ سَابِعِهِ وَيُحْلَقُ وَيُسَمَّى

“Each child was pawned with his aqiqah, gushed for him on the seventh day, shaved his hair and named.” (CHR. Abu Daud, An Nasai, and Ibn Majah)

The animals slaughtered in the aqiqah are two goats for boys and one goat for girls. In addition to preparing animals for slaughter, there are also prayers that are recited during the procession of aqiqah.

The procession that should have been done after 7 days of Reyndra's birth to the world, was instead done on the 30th day because of Reyndra's condition which was still not good at that time. When the lecture is over and the event is about to take place, Amayra and Rey present themselves in front of everyone present.

Amayra's eyes rounded to see the figure of her senior brother who was sitting cross-legged near ust. Ariffins.

Lho? Brother Iqbal?

Iqbal gaped and immediately got up from the seat as soon as he saw Amayra holding a baby, in front of him. His first love was in High School.

Amayras?
