Young Jurist

235. Aisha Humaira

There was a knocking on the door. Rosyidah opened the door. He saw her standing in the doorway.

"Take your husband to lunch Ros. Kasian has been guarding your daughter since. Let umi change to take care of your daughter."

"Let us eat in the room only Umi. Aisyah's asleep, let her move to her box."

"Aisha." hiss umi Sofiah. Rosyidah nodded her head.

"We agreed to name Aisyah Humaira."

"What a beautiful name. Umi likes to hear it." said umi Sofiah with a smile, and Rosyidah looks happy with his umi reaction.

After that brief conversation, Rosyidah passed to the kitchen, took food for her and her husband, and immediately took her to the room.

The smell of processed goat meat makes Andre's stomach jiggle. After putting Aisyah in the box, the two immediately enjoyed the food that had been provided.

Andre thrust a spoonful of rice and side dishes to Rosyidah. The woman replied with a smile, then opened her mouth to take a bribe from her husband.

After finishing lunch and dhuhur prayer, the couple went to the front of the house. To greet the guests present, because the night can not attend the aqiqah event. Don't forget they brought Aisyah forward.

Although the atmosphere in front of the house looks crowded, does not disturb the sleep of Aisyah who looks soundly.

As the afternoon progressed, they immediately returned to the room to get ready to take a shower. Andre prepares warm water for his daughter's bath, while Rosyidah prepares clothes for his daughter.

Although Andre is a man, he is also quite skilled at bathing his baby.

The two dressed their daughter shoulder to shoulder. When they finished, they took a shower.

Ba'da isya', all santriwan and santriwati occupy the place that has been provided. One by one, guests began to arrive.

Not long after, the place that had been provided had been full by the invited guests. Most of which came from Dahlan's hajj colleagues.

That is only natural, considering that Hajj Dahlan is quite a famous person. Because the flight hours are quite high.

Rosyidah and Andre's colleagues, neighbors around Andre's house were also invited, and residents around the cottage were also seen attending.

"Hem, it's fast to have a baby. Overtime every day?" whispered one of Andre's friends, who invited their laughter.

"Hust, don't be so loud. Banned from joking. Shame on my in-laws." said Andre, covering his mouth with his index finger.

At the appointed hour, the aqiqah event is ready to start. Haji Dahlan and his family sat on the side stage.

An MC started the event that night with a greeting reading. After that he started reading out the show. It consists of the Qur'an tilawah, the word welcome, the shaving of the baby's hair and prayers, and the tausyiah.

Stepping on the first event is the Quran recited by a 6th class santri from the cottage managed by Hajj Dahlan.

Politely, the boy got up from his seat and walked towards the stage.

The audience listened carefully to the recitation of the qiro'ah from the little boy's mouth, which was very melodious.

The next event was a welcome word from Andre. With the body starting to vibrate, he slightly shifted his seat to near the microphone.

'Jesus, why are there so many guests? Mana had not yet memorized a hundred percent of his text.' Andre grumbled inwardly.

He used a smile, to get rid of his nervousness, and then said his greetings.

"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wa barokatuh. Thank you for the presence of our fathers/mothers, brothers/sisters, colleagues and sisters all who have attended our first daughter's aqiqah event.

May with the arrival and prayers of the audience, be one way for our daughter, whom we call Aisyah Humaira, to grow up to be the son of sholihah, the character of Karimah, full of courtesy, he said, and virtuous, and useful for religion and beloved homeland.

A welcome from me. If there is more or less, I apologize. Time I return it to the host. Wassalamu'alaikum."

"Honey, sorry my speech is not long" whispered Andre when he sat parallel to Rosyidah.

"It's okay, good start. There must be a lot of practice to get used to it." replied Rosyidah while smiling.

The event was again continued with a speech delivered by Haji Dahlan. He moved his seat closer to the microphone.

With his distinctive voice, he said his greetings. And the guests answered the greeting. A little longer, Haji Dahlan delivered the greeting. However, it did not reduce the enthusiasm of the invited guests to hear the sentence until the end.

After Hajj Dahlan finished giving the word welcome, the event continued with shaving the baby's hair.

Rosyidah stood up and held her daughter. Andre as his father was given the first opportunity to shave his daughter's hair, then continued by Haji Dahlan, ustadz filler tausiyah, as well as some members of his family.

After that, the event continued with tausiyah. While listening to ustadz convey his tausyiah, the audience enjoyed a snack snack.

Although Haji Dahlan was also a preacher, he felt sad if he had to fill the tausyiah at the event he was titled. Therefore, he asked his colleagues to fill the tausyiah.

Nearly 1 hour of tausyiah lasts. Although they have often heard about aqiqah, the audience remains focused on hearing it. So that the knowledge received is not in vain. And finally the tausyiah was finished.

The santri troupe brings the main menu and serves all guests. While enjoying the dishes, the group of santri who have been ready on the stage, playing tambourines to provide entertainment.

The series of events was finally completed. The audience one by one said goodbye and shook hands home. Not to forget, Andre and Rosyidah gave the envelope to them.

Umi Sofiah asked Andre's parents to stay over, because it was late at night.

"Yes, sir, Bu. Just stay here. Tomorrow Andre will take you home." said Andre.

"Does father and mother not miss Aisha? Stay here first sir, Bu." persuaded Rosyidah.

Eventually, Andre's parents agree to besan's request and his son-in-law's. They walked together into the house.

Umi Sofiah, please allow her iron to sleep in the living room. Not to forget they kissed his first grandson's forehead affectionately. Andre and Rosyidah went into the room.

Andre threw his body on the bed, after handing Aisyah to his wife for breastfeeding. He breathed a sigh of relief, finally the event for his daughter went smoothly.

Just now, Andre closed his eyes, suddenly Rosyidah tickled him. So that makes Andre wake up.

"Mas, clean up first dong before going to bed" said Rosyidah who was sitting on the edge of the bed while combing her hair.
