Traveling for a while now finally Khalifa and Abi Mike have arrived at the cottage. Khalifa could see there were several new cars in the courtyard of the cottage, which signified that a guest from her mother had arrived.
Not wanting to make her mother worried because she saw her eyes puffy, and would mess up the reunion, Khalifa finally chose to go straight home to her in-laws.
“Honey, you sure?” Abi Mike felt a little doubt about her daughter's decision.
“Insyaallah Khalifa sure Abi. After all, the Caliph did not want to interfere with the Umma event,” Khalifa tried to smile as calmly as possible to convince his father, “In the meantime, Mba Hasna will come here Abi.”
After enough ama Khalifa convinced the father, now at last with a heavy heart abi Mike nodded his head. He gently rubbed his daughter's head and hugged her for a while before he finally parted in the yard and went into each other's homes.
“Assalamualaikum .. “ says Khalifa entered the house.
Lonely! That's what Khalifa got when she first got in there. No one, Khalifa knew that, because her two in-laws were attending an event to the next village, while her husband and children were in the hospital.
Khalifa took a heavy breath and was about to go to the room. However, that intention had to be confined as he heard the sound of a little footsteps quickly entering his house.
“Assalamaicum ... “
“Walaikumsalam,” Khalifa who has climbed the stairs up to half the journey is now finally down back and welcome the arrival of her sister-in-law, “What is mba?”
“Ah thank goodness you're already at Khal's house! Mba wants to talk to you from earlier.” Without aba, Hasna pulled Khalifa by the hand and invited her to sit on the sofa.
“It seems really important huh Mba?” khalifa asked, getting curious.
“Hilal passed out on the toilet!” Khalifa immediately blinked her eyes repeatedly, trying to digest back what her second sister-in-law said, “Tadi went there to see the development of Aca, but she again cried.”
“M—Mas Hilal fainted mba? K—why can? T—tadi Khalifa to get there everything is healthy! Even Khalifa had a short talk with her,” the woman muttered softly while bowing her head.
Hilal fainting isn't important, and there's more to it. While Khalifa feels this word is a little painful, how can people faint on the toilet still be said to be fine and not important, inner Khalifa.
“So gini, earlier it was a—“
“Assalamaicum .... “ Talks Khalifa and Hasna stopped, the two women who were talking in the living room were the same as turning their heads when they heard a guest coming.
Khalifa was forced to give permission to her sister-in-law to open the door. A santriwati delivering a package to Khalifa. And after receiving it, Khalifa went back in and met Hasna.
“What is Khal?” hasna asked curiously, a medium envelope that was not known who the sender was.
“Khalifa did not know Mba,” replied Khalifa turned the envelope back, “Already open later aja Mba, we continue again Mba until where.”
Khalifa placed the envelope on the table, then resumed her conversation with hasna. However, somehow his eyes continue to be fixed with the contents of the envelope, making him forget and unable to connect with what Hasna said.
“Just open Khal if you're curious. Mba also the problem,” Hasna chuckled softly.
Khalifa nodded her head, took the envelope on the table and opened it immediately. For a moment, Khalifa was silent, she looked at Hasna then the envelope and Hasna and the return envelope, as if her heart was a little anxious and scared.
Afraid, what was he afraid of? It is highly unlikely that the envelope contained a bomb, or even a divorce warrant from Hilal. It was more highly unlikely, but somehow Khalifa felt really scared when she was about to open it.
‘Astagfirullah aladzim!’ Khalifa immediately closed her mouth with her hands when she saw the contents of the envelope, only that it made Hasna more curious and immediately took the envelope in Khalifa's hands to see her as well.
‘Astagfirullah!’ his expression was the same as Khalifa who was so shocked to see the contents of the envelope.
