Survive Loving you
chapter 73

A month has passed, the relationship between Abimayu and Fatimah is getting closer, they seem to be inseparable again. Almost every day Abimayu came to see Fatimah. Not because Abimayu broke what he had promised, but because Fatimah was the one who always wanted to meet him every day.

While Abimayu also felt like he had reneged on his promise, but behind it there was something else feeling springing up in his heart, undeniable, when he came to see Fatimah, he said, there was also someone he wanted to see.

"Mother, why isn't Abi coming now?" ask Fatimah because today she has been waiting for Abimayu since then who has not appeared.

"Ehmmm Abi Fatimah works, dear. So it can't be disturbed. Later after coming home from work, Abi must have come here."

Ana tried to give understanding to Fatimah, she was already convinced that this day Abimayu may not come, because the day is no longer afternoon, it is past the usual hour Abimayu came.

"Fatimah wants to meet Abi, Mother."

Fatimah was already crying because Abimayu had not come today to see her.

"Why, Honey?" asked Kiran who had just arrived because she heard the crying voice of Fatimah.

"Fatimah wants to see Mas Abi, Ma." Ana said with a faint face because she knew Fatimah was now very difficult to persuade.

"You try to call Abimayu first" Kiran told Ana.

Ana shook her head quickly. He did not want to contact Abimayu, however he would not do that.

Fatimah continued to cry, causing Ana to be confused. Ana continues to try to persuade Fatimah until she completely ceases to cry over Abimayu's current absence.

Until nightfall the cries of Fatimah finally subsided. Ana did not expect so much the influence of Abimayu in the life of Fatimah.

Fatimah had never felt such deep affection from an adult man like Abimayu.

Fatimah was already asleep at this time, Ana looked at her little daughter with a sad feeling. If Fatimah did not exist, she may now be a sad woman because she may still survive being a wife neglected by her husband.

Ana's phone voice sounded a sign that there was an incoming message.

"Assalamualaikum, Anja. This is Mas Abi. Sorry for sending a message, but I asked my mom for my phone number."

A message from Abimayu to Ana, and her phone rang back.

"Mas just wants to know about Fatimah. Sorry, this afternoon Mas didn't have time to come, because there's something you have to do here."

Second message from Abimayu.

"Tomorrow Mas also can not come, please tell Fatimah, yes."

After Ana reads all of those messages, Ana does not reply to her immediately, and if she can she will not want to reply to her.

...----------------...

On the other hand Abimayu is busy taking care of an activity in the pesantren, for several years, he has agreed to replace his brother to manage the pesantren because he saw the condition of his older brother.

The activities they did in the pesantren were completed until late at night, and made it impossible to find Fatimah today, and maybe for tomorrow as well.

She tries to send a message to Ana to tell her, as she is also worried that Fatimah will ask her for not coming to see her.

Slowly he types a message to send to Ana, he is like a single man who wants to get close to a woman, because of how many times he has typed the message, he also removed it again out of doubt.

After the message was sent, he became agitated. She only wants to tell Ana, but she also hopes Ana replies to her message.

A few minutes later, his phone rang, Abimayu quickly saw it. His lips pulled to the side after seeing the name of the sender of the message.

" Yes, Mas. I get it."

Only that sentence sent Ana to Abimayu, but was able to make her heart warm.

"Did Fatimah ask why Mas didn't come? "

Abimayu re-typed and tried asking through a message. If possible, he would like to contact Ana directly, but he knows that maybe Ana will not answer him, because the message he sent was answered for so long by Ana.

"he was crying and didn't stop! "

Reading the reply to the message that Ana sent, Abimayu became unsettled. He immediately contacted Ana wanting to be sure.

"Assalamualaikum, Anna."

"Getishalight."

Deg

Abimayu's heart beats hearing that voice from across her phone. Abimayu was silent for a moment to normalize her heartbeat. As long as he hasn't spoken, the person he's calling doesn't want to talk either."

"Now how is Fatimah? " Abimayu immediately asked about Fatimah, because it was his original purpose to ask Fatimah.

"He's asleep now."

"Thank God, I'm sorry I really couldn't come to see him. Tomorrow there are still activities in the pesantren and Mas should not stay. " Abimayu explained what activities made him unable to come. If he could, he also wanted to go see her little princess, but here too had also become his responsibility that he could not leave behind.

"Tell him, yeah. Tomorrow is also not coming, hopefully he can understand. Wh..."

"I'll tell him, I'll close the call first."

tut

Not to mention what Abimayu wanted to say, Ana had ended her call. He doesn't seem to want to talk to Abimayu anymore.

Abimayu looked at the screen of his phone that was already dark, then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Why, Son?" suddenly Umi Aida had been beside him asking.

"No, Umi. Abi had just contacted Ana to ask her about Fatimah, "Abimayu replied with a feeling of uncertainty.

"Ehmmm Umi and Abah also want to meet with Fatimah, son." Umi Aida said sadly. Ever since she was told Abimayu that Ana had come back and brought Fatimah, she had been eager to meet them, but at this time her body was in poor health, so she could not go to meet them. He also did not expect it to turn out that Fatimah was his granddaughter, the little girl he saw at Sarah's house. Now he understood why Fatimah was similar to Eve, because they were brothers. Right now she is also eager to meet her daughter-in-law Ana, though Ana may still hate her.

"Sorry, Umi. Abi will try to talk to Ana."

Abimayu understood that with the feelings of his mother and brother who were eager to meet their grandchildren, he also felt sad to see her. But he also did not want to take Fatimah carelessly even though he had the right to bring Fatimah to meet his parents.

He must ask permission to Ana first to bring Fatimah to meet with her parents. He did not want to make the woman even more dislike him anymore, if he could he wanted the woman as she used to be again who always stayed in love with him. He actually misses the woman a lot, he also really wants them to be able to come back like they used to live together despite the many wounds he made, he wants to remove the wound, he wants to remove the wound, but it seems he has no chance.
