230. Aqiqah for the son of Anisa

Initially, Reyhan told Laura the story of Salman Alfarisi, and his wife was silent while listening carefully.

Salman Alfarisi once saw someone who was worshipping. He felt interested in the worship, so decided to ask the person. The man directed Salman to ask his religious leaders, and so on until he finally met the Prophet. And finally steady to adhere to the teachings delivered by the Prophet.

After becoming a Muslim, he always accompanied the Prophet in important events. Including when the Prophet was fighting against the Quraysh, Salman Alfarisi also participated in it. It was even the youth who gave the idea of excavating the moat surrounding the city of Medina.

The effort was offered by Salman in order to overcome the enemy while preventing many casualties. The strategy of the Persian is mostly done when conditions are surrounded by the presence of horsemen.

Then he and the Muslims with the Prophet worked non-stop digging trenches for several days.

As the person who proposed the excavation, Salman also found a large stone that emits light of direction and kindness.

Until the time when the Quraysh army was about to attack, they were driven by a large trench that lay ahead. It was very beyond their expectations and was overshadowed by the defeat of conquering the city of Medina.

As a result, for a month the Quraysh army remained silent in their tents without being able to attack Medina. Finally one night God sent a strong wind that blew away the tents and destroyed their strength. As a result, Abu Sufyan ordered his troops to withdraw.

The Prophet often praised Salman's intelligence and scholarship, as he praised his morals and religion. During the Battle of Khandaq, Anshar's companions stood up and declared, "Salman is part of us."

The companions of Muhajirin said, "No, he is part of us." The Prophet said, "Salman is part of us, Ahlul Temple."

Salman deserves that honor, even Ali bin Abi Talib nicknamed him Lukman al Hakim.

From the Islamic story of the Prophet's friend, Salman Al-Farisi became the model of Islam of the main people and fear. Salman tells us his holy and glorious adventure in seeking the truth of religion as well as the persistence in fighting in the way of God.

And, there are many more very interesting stories that have been experienced by him. And his story is awake all the time.

So Laura felt in love and immediately liked the name. Even their grandparents loved the name. Short name, beautiful and impressed. Both of them finally gave the name to their handsome baby.

In the morning of the same day, the aqiqah for Anisa's son is held in the house of Gofur sir and Umi Salwa. The work has been going on since dawn.

After 2 goats are finished in slaughter, the mothers of close neighbors begin to cook it into various preparations.

While inside the main house, a small drama began to occur. Zakira cried, because she was breastfeeding her baby sister.

Bayu and her in-laws took turns to hold and calm Zakira, so that Anisa remained focused on breastfeeding her baby.

There was a sense of sadness enveloping Anisa's heart. Because only yesterday she breastfed Zakira and fondled her affectionately, but now she could not do that, because she had to cradle and breastfeed her second baby.

"Anisa, taking care of a small baby is not easy. However, if you are able to do it, of course it brings rewards to you. Never regret what happened. Umi alone, wants to be in your position. But instead we only have you." said Umi Salwa while rubbing Anisa's back.

"If you're breastfeeding, don't be sad. Try to be always happy. Transmit positive energy, and happiness to your children" he added.

"Good umi." Anisa replied briefly while nodding.

The baby was full and now appears to be asleep. Anisa put her in the baby box. After that, he approached Zakira who was currently still sobbing in a Bayu sling.

Anisa reached out to Zakira, then the little boy immediately replied by extending his hand to Anisa as well.

"Honey, you rest, you will be tired" said Bayu.

"That's nothing, just for a second, let Zakira not think I'm a loving mother."

"I'm sorry yes, because less can hold back, finally make you concede."

"Hust, what the hell is mas. Don't be loud ah, it'll sound to everyone else. It's embarrassing." whispered Anisa.

"Without anything, the child is also a sustenance that we should be grateful for" said Anisa trying to smile.

Bayu then handed Zakira to Anisa. Gently Anisa stroked her head, and her sobs slowly began to disappear. Shortly thereafter, he began to fall asleep. After sleeping long enough in Anisa's arms, Zakira is placed in the box of the other baby.

Now Anisa sat on the edge of her bed, looking at the 2 boxes containing her babies.

After bathing, Bayu went into the room and saw Anisa who was still staring at the box. He slowly approached his wife and grabbed her shoulder.

"Honey, thank you for all you have given me." Bayu said, Anisa replied by nodding her head.

Bayu also looked towards the 2 boxes. The feeling, just graduated from school, opened his business, married and now has 2 adorable babies. As if time had passed very quickly.

It seems that he has not been able to be a good husband, now it is increasing again his duty and obligation to be a good father.

Not just for 1 child but 2 children. A responsibility that is not easy, of course.

He should give extra care to both. Because father is the first love for his daughter. At the same time should be able to be a role model for his son.

A daughter if she does not or tends to get less love from her father, then most likely, later when she grows up, will look for love from other men. So that plunges on dating.
