THE LOVE OF QONITA
Chapter 44 Pilgrimage
As the day before, today Ichy left Kindergarten accompanied by his family. Faith and others come down when they get to Kindergarten. Holding hands with her mother, Ichy showed her a bright smile.
Stopping before entering the gate, Qonita restrains Ichy's hand.
"Yes learning spirit, honey. Happy playing with friends." Qonita hugs Ichy. Ichy replied and then touched Qonita.
"Big brother in, Pi, Deck Fuad and Deck Nabil." Ichy greets papi and his two younger siblings.
"By the way, brother."
By the way, Dek."
After Ichy went inside, they went home.
"So later, sweetie?" ask Faith in Qonita.
"So, Bang. Ichy's mom's grave near the house?"
"No, Honey. Mama Jihan asked to be buried in their home area. The reason is so that Mama can often pilgrimage. I can't refuse." The face of faith looks flat.
Qonita nodded. "If so, we'll be there in the afternoon, yes. Pilgrimage first, new to Ichy's house."
"Okay, honey." Faith smiled gently at Qonita.
❤️❤️❤️
"Assalamu'alaikum, Beautiful Mother. How'd you learn?" ask Qonita when she picks up Ichy back from Kindergarten.
"Wa'alaikum hail, Mother. Today the practice of making flowers, Mother. Here comes the flower, Mother." Ichy shows a flower on Qonita.
"Well, is this the big brother you made?"
"Yes, Mother."
"That's great, darling. What if the flowers will love brother same oma? Oma must be really happy, dear."
"OK, mom. Oh yes, Mother. I have a new friend, you know. There are three Mothers, named Maya, Tantri and Lula." Ichy looks happy to reveal it.
"Alhamdulillah, Mother heard him. Tomorrow, his friend will be back. Well, so many donks."
Ichy nodded happily. "Yes, Mother."
Arriving in the car, Ichy greets his papi and younger siblings.
"Where are we going, Pi?" ichy asked his papa.
"Back, honey. Later in the afternoon, we will make a pilgrimage to the place of mami, yes. Go to the Viennese house."
"Right, Mother?" ichy asked Qonita to make sure.
"Yes, Honey. It's a long time, right, no pilgrimage and to the house of oma? Later, If Mother and Papi forget, Brother please remind ya, dear. Must see oma often, dear."
"OK, Mommy."
The kids behind are playing and telling stories. Faith brought her body closer to Qonita.
"I'm confused now, honey. Since your marriage, I have not been considered again, dear," said Faith as if she had suffered the most.
Qonita. "What's seh, Bang?"
"That's proof, Ichy doesn't believe me. Even much the same you, 'benere Mommy'?" Faith exemplifies Ichy's speaking style.
"Damor..." Qonita chuckled, amused at her husband's funny behavior.
"Ck. Son I can't believe, now plus my wife even fuss." Iman shook his head, as if he could not believe what had happened.
"Abang tuh sometimes likes to delay, so Ichy does not believe. Hihihi..." Qonita continued to chuckle.
Faith pinched slowly on Qonita's cheeks in anxiety.
❤️❤️❤️
In the afternoon, Iman and his family were at the funeral. Clean up the leaves and small grass in Ichy's mami tomb. After that, Faith leads prayer.
"Assalamu'alaikum Jihan's. I'm coming." Faith was silent for a moment. "I'm with Ichy. She grew up to be a good and beautiful child just like you." Faith swallowed his spit. He took a deep breath. "I'm..." Faith cannot continue her words. His voice seemed choked.
Not wanting to make the children confused and feel awkward, Qonita finally made a sound.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Mba Jihan. I'm Qonita. My two children and I came along with Ichy and his papa. My son is named Fuad and Nabil" said Qonita.
"Sorry, please don't be angry, now I've become a connecting Mother for Ichy. I can't promise anything. I can only say, how I love my two children, so will I love Ichy" continued Qonita.
"I will not remove Mba Jihan's position from Ichy's heart. At any time, Mba will always be there. It will not be replaced. Because of Mba Jihan's affection, it will always stick in Ichy's heart" continued Qonita.
"Ichy grew up healthy, God willing he will mention the name Mba in every prayer. Help Me yes Mba, beat Bang Iman and raise our children." Qonita ended her speech.
"Bang," Qonita touched her husband's shoulder.
Faith nodded in understanding.
"I'm home, Han. Sorry for my every mistake and your sorrow, My Honey," said Iman in her heart.
Steady, Iman felt the tightness in his heart.
"Mommy, Brother go home first, yeah. Mommy, now Brother is not sad anymore. There was Mommy, Adek Fuad and Adek Nabil who accompanied Big Brother" said Ichy.
"Oh yes, Brother's friends are also a lot of you, Mi. Continue, Mother has taught Sister how to pray for Mami. My sister will pray for Mami every day. Assalamu'alaikum, Mi."
The eyes of faith are wet. But of course he didn't cry.
❤️❤️❤️
They went to Jihan's parents' house. Looks like a middle-aged couple is in the yard.
"Assalamu'alaikum" they said in unison
"Wa'alaikum greetings," replied the middle-aged couple. They are the parents of Jihan, the Viennese oma and the Zul opa.
"God, Iman, Ichy" said the Viennese oma happy to see them.
Faith immediately touched Jihan's parents. Viennese oma is seen embracing the Faith and the old Ichy.
Qonita and the children continued to experience the Vienna oma and Zul opa. Giving up the fruit and cake they brought. Oma Vienna to thank you.
"Come in, Man, Son," opa Zul said to Faith and Qonita.
They all came in and sat in the living room. As usual, Ichy would rather be on her mother's lap. Nabil in the seat of Faith. And Fuad sat among them.
"Oparent same Oma healthy?" ask Ichy.
Opa Zul and the Viennese oma looked shocked, as did Iman. Their grandchildren look very smart and happy.
"Alhamdulillah, sweetie."
"Good, sweetie."
Replied simultaneously by the Vienna oma and Zul opa.
Before long someone came to bring drinks and snacks. Maybe he's Viennese ART oma.
"Diminum, son, Man" said the Vienna oma.
"Thank you, ma'am," said Qonita.
"Thank you, Ma" said Iman.
"Opa and oma take care of health, yes. Later Brother often plays here," said Ichy.
"Yes, we haven't seen you in a long time, baby. Oma Miss. Here, same Oma." Ichy moved closer to the Viennese oma. Viennese oma hugged Ichy again, then sat Ichy in her lap.
"What's your name, son? You're a teacher?" ask opa Zul to Qonita.
"My name, Qonita, sir. Right, I'm a teacher, sir," replied Qonita.
"Pantes teachers are called the noblest professions" opa Zul said.
Faith and Qonita both frowned.
"Your body is instantly visible, son. Must marry a teacher first, then Iman can come here," Zul opa quipped.
