The Journey of Jinan

Chapters. 19

Today Jinan has been allowed to go home by a doctor. With a tired face from lack of sleep, Jinan tried to keep smiling in front of Rico and Elena who picked her up. Jinan had a hard time sleeping because he was still thinking about the state of the restaurant. But after Ira woke up and convinced Jinan to stay calm because there was a baby Ay that he had to think about, finally Jinan could sleep at three in the morning.

On the way home, baby Ay cries incessantly in the Japanese arms. With forced Rico had to park his car in one of the shophouse parking pages on the side of the road so that Jinan could give ASI to baby Ay. Maybe baby Ay is hungry because the little baby last ate his food three hours ago. And sure enough, having just touched Jinan's skin, baby Ay has already devoured her food quickly.

While waiting for Jinan to give ASI baby Ay, Rico chose to enter the mini market that is across the road to buy snacks. After getting a phone call from Elena, then Rico immediately returned to the car and continued his journey to Jinan's house.

"Ji, you just sleep. Looks like you're sleep deprived. Let baby Ay I'm the fat one" Elena said in the back seat.

Jinan looked at Elena. "It's okay, El. I can," refused Jinan.

Unexpectedly, Rico who heard Jinan's refusal suddenly stopped his car on the side of the road. Jinan and Elena looked in surprise at the man. But before they asked, Rico had spoken first.

"Give baby Ay to Elena. You go to sleep, we're still half an hour away."

Because he felt that he really needed to sleep, he better obey the words of Rico and Elena alone. Not necessarily also at home later he can sleep because he has to take care of baby Ay alone. While Ria must be busy with her college assignments.

It did not take long for Jinan to fall asleep, because the woman did look very sleepy. The journey that usually takes thirty minutes now has to take them for almost an hour. Rico deliberately slowed down the speed of his car so that Jinan could sleep longer on the trip. He could not bear to see the tired face of the woman. In addition to the state of the restaurant that is not okay, it definitely adds to the burden of Jinan's mind.

Arriving at home, it turns out Ria and two friends are waiting for their arrival in front of the house. Ria approached the car after it was parked well, then she woke Jinan who was still asleep in the seat beside the steering wheel after getting a code from Rico. Rico himself asked Elena to bring baby Ay in first, while he dropped off Jinan's belongings in the trunk of the car with the help of Ria's two friends.

"Be careful, El," said Rico, worried to see Elena, who looked troubled, get out of the car.

"I can" Elena said without looking at Rico.

...

The next day.

Starting from noon to afternoon at the residence of Jinan and Ria are now enlivened by children who work at the restaurant Jinan. They are busy with their respective work, namely, cooking, making drinks, and decorating the living room that will be used for the Thanksgiving event later tonight welcoming the arrival of baby Ay.

Elena who can not cook or decorate the room now only accompany Jinan to play with baby Ayla in her room. While Ria was busy driving the restaurant officials who were cooking in the kitchen. And Rico also monitors and helps children who are decorating the living room to be as attractive as possible.

"Hey, why did you put it there? What if the glass falls and the flakes hit baby Ay's bed? Do you want to harm my niece?" rico shouted when he saw a man who put his drinking glass on a chair under which there was a baby Ay sleeping tub that had not been placed in place.

The man looked frightened because he was yelled at by Rico, he just grabbed his drinking glass and placed it on a small table with various foods.

"The right work, you're not just here to help. You're here working to replace your three-day vacation. It's nice to have three days of unpaid vacation, do you think that restaurant is your ancestors' restaurant? You slacker."

Jinan and Elena who heard the commotion from inside her room now left baby Ay in the baby box alone. They came out to see, what's the cause of the noise out there.

Arriving outside the room, they shook their heads to see Rico's frenzied behavior which he thought was too excessive.

" What's up, Co?" jinan asked by walking over.

"Don't scream, baby Ay dizzy to hear your screams" Jinan reminded.

"If the Indonesian says, Brother Rico is more," said Elena.

Jinan only frowned, then she returned to her room to see her son who she left alone in the baby box.

...

Exactly at 19:07, baby Ay's small thanksgiving event has now taken place in a simple way. There was no big party, just a do'a reading led by Rico, a welcome from the owner of the event, and some thanksgiving from nearby people. Although excited because not fluent in reading Arabic sentences, but Rico still completed the task that Jinan entrusted to him with a piece of paper as a cheat. How to be fluent, if his whole life is only spent on fun and playing at night clubs.

After the do'a from Rico, it's time for a welcome from Jinan.

"Good night everyone," said Jinan.

"Good night" said the people present there.

"I'd like to thank you all for attending my first child's celebration tonight. At tonight's event, I will announce the full name of my daughter who you may know as Ay. My daughter's name is Ayla Aziza. I want my son to be a moonlight to all of us as his name suggests, Ayla. And I hope my daughter can be strong and loved by everyone as her name, Aziza. I also ask his do'a to all of you, may my daughter be a woman of benefit to all of us. Become a child who sholehah, and successful the world to the afterlife. Aamiin's."

"Aamiin," said a few people there.

"Maybe that's all I can say tonight, hopefully my daughter's presence here will be acceptable to all of you. Thank you" Jinan said, closing his words.

After a greeting from Jinan, now some of the closest people who will give words of greeting and do'a for baby Ayla.

"Hopefully baby Ayla can be a successful child in the future."

"I hope baby Ayla and her mother are healthy always, and given unparalleled happiness."

"The best do'a for this mother and child we love. Hopefully I can catch up quickly and soon be met with my soul mate."

After the recitation of the do'a and the speeches delivered by some people nearby. Now the last event that is very much awaited is, eating dinner together.
