Husband Does Not Know Himself
142. Aqiqah

Later that night, Mahes will hold an aqiqah event for his first son. And in the morning, the busyness was clearly visible in his house.

In the courtyard of his luxurious house, in the middle of the tent. So that guests who come are protected from the rain, which sometimes often comes suddenly.

Behind the house, there was a gathering of cook mothers, and an ustadz who was about to slaughter a goat.

Mala and Mahes watched from a safe distance, the process of slaughtering animals.

The woman shuddered in pain, when she saw the blood coming out of the goat's neck, when Mr. Ustadz had his knife cut out. Mahes hugged his wife's head, and slipped it into his chest.

"Not to be afraid, dear. Even when you gave birth yesterday, there was more blood than that."

"Huh? Really true?" Mala looked up at her husband. The man also nodded.

The two sat while looking at the mutton in pieces into smaller pieces to facilitate the cooking process.

At the end, the baby was crying. The pair of new parents calmed him down, but never subsided nor did his cries. When the diaper is in check, it is also not wet because of bedwetting.

"Honey, maybe our baby is thirsty or hungry. Quickly take it to the room and suck it up."

Mala nodded her head, then moved from her seat. He walked to his room, and Mahes followed behind him.

Arriving in the room, Mala unbuttoned her shirt, then brought her breast milk bag closer to her baby's mouth.

The baby devoured his mother greedily. Until his face was covered in sweat. Mahes also cleansed his son's face with tissue.

"Darling, I'm curious about the taste." said Mahes.

"Didn't you when you were a kid also drink breast milk?"

"Yes that was. Now I forget again."

"Don't tell me you want to feel mine." Mahes grimaced, when his wife knew what was on his mind.

**

Evening came, Mala and Mahes were getting ready. Both of them wear the same colored clothes, namely all white. And so is their handsome son. The one wearing Koko's stelan is white and the pecans are also white.

After finishing the decoration, Mala stood up. Behind her, her husband still stands. The man held both of his hands, then stared at him intensely. Makes Mala feel nervous.

"Honey, hopefully we can build a healthy household, mawadah and warohmah. Nothing can ruin our happiness." Mahes sincere prayer.

"Aamiin's."

After that Mahes brought his face closer and kissed his wife. Not only his forehead, he also showered both sides of Mala's cheeks with a kiss.

Slowly the kiss also seeped into his lips. And the longer it goes deeper. Mahes's hand is already guerrilla in two production sites.

The couple suddenly misbehaved, when releasing the link of his lips earlier.

"I'm sorry, baby, I can't help it." Mahes once again kissed Mala's forehead, before walking quickly to open the door of her room.

"Sorry, den. There were already a few guests coming." said the aunt.

"Oh, wait a minute bi, we'll be right down."

"Good, den."

"What's up, mas?" asked Mala who was suddenly near her husband.

"So my aunt said that the guests had started to arrive. Are you ready?" Mala nodded too.

"Yes, let's go down now."

Mahes embraced his wife's arm, while his wife was pushing her stroller. He went downstairs by elevator.

In the courtyard, there were already several guests coming. Mala and Mahes greeted them. After which, the two stood in rows to greet the other guests who had just arrived.

The longer the guests arrive. Until finally, the place provided was already filled by them.

Mala and Mahes walked towards the seat in the front row. Because soon the show will start.

An MC started to say hello, then read out the arrangement of the event. Until finally the welcome.

Mahes as the host and organizer of the event came forward to say a word.

The Mala husband got up from his seat, and walked to the pulpit.

The handsome man started talking.

" Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wa barakaatuh. Father or mother, the glorified presence of God,

Through this event, we also asked our father or mother and attendees to be willing to pray for our family and especially for our son Adam Nabhan.

May our son be able to remain in his faith and Islam, his breadth and blessings, intelligent and clean in heart and always in the protection of Allah swt, Aamiin.

Thus I can express as a host, more or less apologize if there are shortcomings and mistakes because perfection only belongs to God and shortcomings come from me personally.

Wabillahi taufik...

Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wa barakaatuh."

After giving a word of welcome, Mahes got off the pulpit. Then the show resumed.
