1 METER OF FOOT
NEW LIFE

Malik sees his brother-in-law not alone. Except with his parents and his brothers. They expressed their regret over the accident experienced by Imran at this time. And when Malik and his family were satisfied enough to be in the hospital, they all decided to return home.

Arriving at home, Malik was immediately greeted by Dyah who was holding their daughter.

"Mas! How's Imran doing?"

Malik showed a face that Dyah could not guess. "Mas Imran has not been conscious since yesterday. But thank God he's past his critical period."

There was a feeling of relief felt by Dyah. "Alhamdulillah."

Can't be lied to. He was angry with his brother and mother. Still if they were injured, Dyah also felt the wound. Because only they are the closest family that Dyah has in this world besides Malik the husband.

"We're going to Shanum's house?"

Dyah who was a little daydreaming immediately distracted his mind. "Yes, so dong Mas!"

"Come on! Then get ready soon. Shanum's going to go."

"alright. Just a minute." Dyah immediately got ready in the room to immediately go to Shanum's house.

Long story short, when Dyah and Malik and their baby who was a few days old had finished preparing, the three of them immediately rushed to Shanum's house which was different from the village with their house.

The arrival of Malik and Dyah was warmly welcomed by Shanum. Even Shanum immediately tried to hold his nephew who was still very small.

"God, how beautiful your children are."

Shanum's lips smiled happily at being given the opportunity to hold Fatiyah before she actually left her hometown.

"His name is Fatiyah, Ma'am" Dyah said.

"God is his name beautiful. So the child who sholehah ya Fatiyah. May you become an expert in heaven and bring your parents in with you. Aamiin's."

Shanum's remarks were of course directly amied by Malik and Dyah.

"Oh yes, Ms. Shanum."

"Hm! Yes Malik." Shanum turned his gaze towards Malik.

"Mas Imran yesterday had an accident, and he hasn't been conscious until now."

Shanum's heart seemed to stop beating hearing the man whose name was still neatly stored in his heart had an accident.

"Hopefully Imran is fine."

"Didn't want to see him before Mbak left. Let Mbak be ushered in Malik?" ask Dyah.

Shanum shook his head. "No! Let's pray from here. Prayer can reach the person concerned."

"It's better that you don't see it, than to get the pain that multiplies again."

Right Shanum! The decision you made was very right. Instead of later being insulted and looking like there is no self-respect, it is better to pray from afar.

Dyah could only resignedly not want to sue Shanum. Dyah respected the decision Shanum made.

"Where are you moving out of town?" ask Malik.

Shanum shook his head. "Don't know. No idea which city you want to go to?"

"Whom you want, just move in a place away from the noise of the city."

"Malik has a friend whose house is very far from urban Mbak. He's wading here. It seems, Malik's friend's village is perfect for Mbak who needs calm."

Shanum's face looked bright hearing Malik's words. "Can! Where's Malik's address?"

Malik also immediately mentioned the name of a village that is located very far from urban but not remote. The village is outside the city. Although far away, but Shanum still steady to come there.

Suddenly Dyah took out something from inside the bag she was carrying. "Mom! It's for Mbak as a memento of us."

To make it easier for Shanum to see the goods given by Dyah. Malik took over Fatiyah's sling from Shanum.

"Is this Dyah?" Shanum looked confused.

"Just open up" Malik replied.

"Goddessa. Allah Akbar. You guys give me a new phone for Mommy?"

Dyah and Malik nodded their heads. "May Shanum like it."

Shanum hasn't dared to open his phone yet. "But it's too expensive for Mbak's phone?"

"No Ma'am. Please accept yes. Let us all communicate with each other, even though later we can not see each other again" said Malik.

"You should have your money saved for the future of Fatiyah," Shanum did not want to accept the phone. But try to advise Dyah and Malik.

Dyah understood Shanum's intention. And he was not angry at all at his former brother-in-law.

"Just accept it, Ma'am. We're sincere. If Mbak rejects it, instead we will be angry with Mbak."

Shanum shed his tears. She did not expect, behind the evil ex-husband and ex-in-law. But there was still an ex-sister-in-law who cared deeply about him.

Shanum replied with tears. "Thank you, Malik. May God repay you both."

"Aamiin" said Dyah and Malik simultaneously.

Because Shanum can't operate the new phone. Malik willingly helped Shanum to use the phone.

After a long time they talked and chatted as a sign of their farewell. Finally, Dyah and Malik say goodbye to Shanum.

Shanum's feeling of great relief now had already seen Dyah and Malik before he moved. And the next day. Shanum actually went from his hometown delivered by Laila to the nearest terminal.

Laila's harvests reveal to Shanum. Shanum had also given Laila her mobile number so that they could communicate frequently.

"Take care of yourself Shanum. Please don't forget me," Laila's face really looked very sad.

"definitely. I will always remember you and miss you Laila."

Laila waved her hand at Shanum who was about to get into the inter-city bus.

After the bus that Shanum was riding started walking away leaving the terminal. Then Laila actually went from the terminal to return to her home. The tightness of trying to hold him so that his tears do not continue to come out along the way.

"Bismillah! I hope this is the beginning of my life. O Allah. Protect the servant wherever the servant is. Aamiin's." Shanum's prayer in his heart.

Leaving Shanum we turn to Emyr.

"Can't it be postponed first Pa, for another week or two Emyr to the Turks?" emyr told the father over the phone.

"Can't be Emyr. Come quickly here. Papa wait!" answer papa Hisham.

"Yes Well. Later Emyr will ask first to Emyr's secretary. Assalamu'alaikum." His phone connection was then cut off.

Then Emyr called his secretary to go into his study, so he could ask about his work schedule.

"Can you handle all my work for a while. Because I have to go to Turkey to take care of papa's business there?" emyr.

"Can Mr. Emyr" replied the secretary.

"I don't know how long I've been there. And if there's anything with my company that's here. Soon you tell me. Understood!"

"Understand Mr. Emyr."

Emyr was already getting his work schedule and felt not too important. Finally, that day he flew to Turkey to take care of the business of the father who was there.

While Shanum who had been on the bus for hours, thank God now he has arrived in the village intended by Malik. The village is really beautiful, far from urban and the scenery is surrounded by three mountains and a wide expanse of rice fields.

"Goddessa. It's a beautiful view."

The smile on Shanum's lips was very beautiful. However, before he continued his journey to find a contract, Shanum first looked for a public toilet to change clothes. And finished changing clothes, Shanum is now steady wearing the niqab that God willing from now on will accompany him to activities.

A new appearance, a new village, a new atmosphere, and a new life for Shanum.
