Married Berondong Saleh
Chapter 70

Almost a month of this Zaidan cheked up his right leg. The wound in his ankle made him have difficulty walking. Even at the beginning of his return from the hospital, his condition was still not so improved. It's just that Zaidan was still insistent on asking to go home.

Zaidan's feet stepped on the lowest step of the ladder.

"Where are you going Zaid?" asked Aisyah because this one month Zaidan never set foot on the top floor.

"Your legs have not healed properly, do not go upstairs first," continued Aisyah.

Zaidan only replied with a small smile, then his feet twisted, undoing the intention to step on the stepladder.

"I went to Ummi's garden first" Zaidan said.

"Let Ummi accompany," bargained Aisyah.

"No need Ummi, I can do it myself."

"Den, there's a guest" interrupted Muna who came from the front room.

"Who's Mbok?" curious Aisyah.

"Neng Halwah" replied Muna.

"Oh, thank you Mbok," said Zaidan then walked towards the living room.

The girl smiled sweetly as Zaidan emerged from behind the space,

"Assalamualaikum Zaid," his hand he swatted to the chest.

"Waalaikum salam," answered Zaidan and Aisyah simultaneously.

Halwah gesgas hail takdhim to Aisha.

"From Wa's house?"

"Once Ummi came, this is his home all stopped by." replied Halwah.

"Sit down, please if there's any need with Zaidan. Ummi entered first," said Aisyah, her feet stepping in.

"Thank you Ummi" said Halwah before Aisyah left.

"Sorry, I'm interrupting your rest" said Halwah after Aisyah went inside.

Zaidan smiled back, "No way, I'm not doing anything anyway."

"His feet are gone?"

"Alhamdulillah is already."

"Thank God, I'm worried about your situation. Eh it turns out, you are not healthy but forced to come to the inauguration of a new AZM dealer branch," said Halwah.

"The shawl is good" said Zaidan.

Where might Zaidan cancel to inaugurate his new dealership. Everything was designed long ago. Because tomorrow is Delmira's birthday. Zaidan wants to capture the inauguration moment with a historic moment, where women who once rooftop the household was born into the world.

"Doctor let you go?" lontar Halwah and Zaidan.

"I see that your legs are still swollen" Halwah said, looking at Zaidan's feet, "remember the doctor said, you must not move too much. Your heel has not completely healed. The wound on the heel was indeed long-healed, you must be patient!" ocehniah.

"Why smile, is there anything funny? I delivered what the doctor had said, "the protest Halwah saw Zaidan smiling at his suggestion.

"You're like a mother-and-mom nagging her child" said Zaidan still with a smile.

"Sick people should be reminded a lot. Especially about taking medicine, he knows the condition of the body is healthy, but has not fully healed. Remember, the healing must not be half-and-half," said Halwah, "but I'm glad Zaid, saw you smile," to be honest later.

Zaidan withdrew his smile, feeling uneasy about his current condition.

"Wa, I_"

"Yes, I know. Don't expect too much from this relationship, we're just partners, nothing more" Halwah's cling mimics what Zaidan once told her.

Zaidan showed a small smile. Halwah indeed he considered limited to coworkers, even his closeness when he was not married to Delmira, Zaidan also only interpreted limited to working partners.

"Sorry Zaid, from the time you were not married until now have separated from your wife, my love remains the same as before. Please do not force me to forget my love. Let him disappear by himself in time. I also ask that you act ordinary. Do not care what I have, we are still mutually beneficial partners," explained Halwah although honest from the bottom of her heart who want her love to be reciprocated and can have each other.

"You continue to rest, I go home first," said Halwah, his ass he lifted, "do not need to be delivered to the front, you just go in," said Delmira saw Zaidan moving from sitting.

"Assalamualaikum," said Halwah, "oh yes, greetings to Ummi, sorry did not have time to say goodbye," continued Halwah.

"Waalaikum salam, yes insyaallah later I say."

Zaidan's eyes stared at Halwah until she was invisible because it was covered by the wall of the living room.

Zaidan stepped inside. His eyes looked back at the steps and now turned to face, over to the top floor, where his room was.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim," said Zaidan, his right foot on the bottom step. One by one, with difficulty, massage by foot Zaidan finally retraced up to the top step saplings. His footsteps continued until his hand held the handle of the room door.

There was a strange tremor enveloping his heartbeat. "Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim" said Zaidan, opening the door to the room. Zaidan's eyes swept through every corner of the room. His feet were walking slowly, combing every corner.

Zaidan's eyes stopped looking at the sofa that used to be occupied by Delmira, there was a shadow of the woman's face. He smiled and waved at Zaidan.

"Astaghfirullah haladhim" muttered Zaidan, realizing that all was just a fantasy.

His feet kept moving, and stopped at one nightstand beside the bed. Zaidan's hand moved to feel the nightstand. The nightstand used to belong to Delmira, his hand then opened the nightstand drawer. There are some Delmira items still stored in the nightstand.

Zaidan didn't throw it all away. He left the item neatly tucked away in its place. Even some clothes are still neatly stored in the closet. Zaidan often took the shirt and hugged her tightly when she felt a longing for Delmira.

Zaidan's eyes stopped staring at the hairband that Delmira used to wear, his eyes now breaking through time, twisting on a memory first. Where Delmira often ties the origin of her hair, she ties it up high until her nape is visible.

Zaidan's own smile stared at the pseudo-shadow that was in front of him.

"May Allah take care of you Del" said Zaidan.

His eyes now moved to look at his nightstand, he was surprised there was a missing item on the nightstand. Zaidan's feet now moved quickly toward his nightstand.

"Where's the photo?" murmured Zaidan gurgas open the nightstand drawer, rummaging through the contents in the drawer. However, a frame with a wedding photo was not also found.

"Search your wedding photos?"

The kick made Zaidan's hand stop. His body now turned to face the source of the sound.

"Ummi," said Zaidan feeling shocked because there was suddenly Aisyah.

"Ummi threw away that photo!" Aisyah.

"Went where Ummi was, let Zaid collect."

"Son, stop! Forget Delmira. Let him live happily with his beloved. You continue your life, son," pinta Aisyah.

Zaidan was silent, how many minutes he said, "Ummi, I'm sorry. The more I try to forget Delmira, the greater my love for her."

"Istighfar Nak's. Love something simply, so that you will be left with something that is only the care of God, you sincerely accept it. Nothing in this world is eternal. You must accept, your divorce is the destiny of God which is written in Lauhul mahfuz. Delmira just hitchhiking in your life, she is not your real soul mate" Aisyah explained.

Zaidan was silent again. He always remembered destiny. However, his heart felt it needed a process to be able to forget all and somehow, the long process would end until when.

Zaidan blew his breath, hoping that the tightness in his chest would also fall, "Astaghfirullah haladhim," said Zaidan.

Aisyah looked at her son, "We're down," Aisyah asked.

"I will pray in this room first Ummi" replied Zaidan.

"Mrs_"

"Zaidan needs Ummi's composure, please understand me" Zaidan said.

'Ummi has understood you far, even too high tolerance, maybe this is why you still remember Delmira. Ummi does not want you to fall into grief, said Aisyah who can only be catapulted in the heart.

"Ummi wait for you here" Aisyah said later.

"Ummi go down first," pinta Zaidan without compromising his respect he was tempted to walk to the door and open the door for Aisyah.

Aisyah also stepped out, 'If you continue like this Zaid, ummi will take more steps so that you do not get worse in the abyss of sadness. You are the child of the late ummi friend. Ummi must keep that trust, ' Inner Aisyah said.

Bringing Khanza, Zaidan's former lover into Zaidan's life Aisyah did. Various ways to bring the two of them closer together but still failed. The next step is to bring Zaidan closer to his partner who has been in love with Zaidan. However, it also seems to have failed. Aisyah felt frustrated, "What else should I take?" said Aisyah in the middle down the stairs.
