JAKARTA - Dude Harlino and Alyssa Soebandono alias Icha shared the excitement of their family during the 2024 Eid al-Adha.

Dude tells that his two sons, Muhammad Dirgantara Ariendra Harlino, Malik Mahendra Harlino have a different reaction when invited to pray id.

"Today Eid al-Adha has an id prayer in the morning that they have to be ready for in the morning. Earlier, Riendra immediately got up excited, if Malik is a bit 'oh, he's still sleepy', there are still negotiations," said Dude Harlino in the Tebet area, South Jakarta, Monday, June 17th.

This is because their two children sleep late at night because they are still talking about their activities.

"Even though we sleep fast. Before going to bed, we still tell stories first. We say that if we sleep more and longer, we will wake up sleepy. But still, before they sleep, we will definitely tell stories first," added Alyssa.

In addition to the moment to wake up their two children, Icha also talked about the cohesiveness of those wearing family uniforms.

Icha said that it was her idea. This was done by Icha because it had become a tradition since childhood which he finally tried to do in his own family.

"The idea is for sure Icha, Sis Dude and the kids, just follow, 'we'll use this color', 'OK', usually, everything is the same," said Alyssa Soebandono.

"Because if Icha himself has been in the family for a long time, it's really Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, it's definitely all the same color, so when we have our own family, we are rich, 'ah, we want to be rich when we want to wear clothes that match' and that's done during Eid al-Adha," he added.

Icha said that he had often done this on big days. Even so, he still thinks about the color his entire family uses.

"And actually we used the color several times, coincidentally we had the same clothes, so finally we matched them all because it was impossible to wear pink, right, now finally this color is there, so when you take the same color," he said.

The couple Dude Harlino and Alyssa Soebandono alias Icha also added sacrificial animals as a thank you for the birth of their youngest daughter, Aisyah Aulia Putri Harlino.

"Alhamdulillah, this year, because there are more new members of the little one, we will add one more sacrifice," said Dude Harlino.

Unmitigated, Dude and Alyssa made sacrifices in two places at once, namely in Jakarta and Bogor. Dude hopes this can expand the benefits of sharing his sacrificial meat.

"So there are two places, one in Jakarta one in Bogor. So that's me in Jakarta, icha and rendra are in Bogor. So to divide and make wider benefits, we will distribute them," he added.

"We'll see in Jakarta. Later in Bogor the photo will be sent, God willing," explained Dude Harlino.

Seeing that he was given sustenance and was also able to sacrifice in the same year, Dude admitted that he was very grateful. For him, this is a good service for him and his small family.

"Yes, if I'm with Icha, I'm very grateful that God has given us a new mandate, another child and one of the forms of gratitude for us, we sacrifice, and this also has a fairly good value of worship," said Dude Harlino.

Finally, he hopes that later the sacrificial animals that he has provided can be a benefit for those who receive them.

"God willing, hopefully later those who receive sacrificial animals, the sacrificial meat can also be used properly, as much as possible," he said.
