Survive Loving you
chapter 74

This morning Ana had been getting ready with her little daughter. When Fatimah woke up from her sleep, she immediately cried and asked the father. He was still disappointed by his father's absence yesterday, so this morning he reconnected his disappointment by crying again.

Ana did not know how else to do it, she also persuaded Fatimah to be quiet, but Fatimah continued to cry.

He relented and wanted to contact Abimayu, but he remembered that last night Abimayu had told him that today he also could not come to see Fatimah.

"We'll go see, Abi!" said Ana and made Fatimah let her cry to hear Ana's words.

"Well, Abi?" ask her with her tears gone.

"Yes, Honey. Fatimah will meet Abi today." Ana tells her back so her daughter understands.

"Yeee met Abi." Fatimah's cheerful voice filled the room they occupied.

Ana could only shake her head at her daughter's behavior. He had already decided to bring Fatimah to meet Abimayu, they today will go to the boarding school and Ana also wants to meet with Umi Aida and Mustapa Financing.

Since they returned she had never met her father-in-law, and it turned out that she had only learned from her mother that Umi Aida was now unwell. That's why he wasn't seen when Papa Ana died a month ago.

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

"Where is this, Mother?" ask Fatimah when they have arrived at the boarding school.

There are seen the students who are busy in the activities they will do.

Ana and Fatimah walked hand in hand toward Umi Aida's house. Now there was nothing to hinder Ana from entering this neighborhood, but she also asked permission from the officer at the entrance.

"Getishkur." Ana said her regards before entering. But he and Fatimah were still standing outside the door before the host came out to greet them.

"Getishalam." The voice of Umi Fatimah was heard from inside.

Umi Aida paused for a moment before arriving at the door, her face slightly astonished at who had come to her house, let alone the person she saw wearing a veil on her face. He tried to remember, but he also did not recognize who was standing at the door of his house.

"Mom..." Ana called out to Umi Aida slowly.

At that time Umi Aida walked over, then saw a little girl wearing a hijab on her head was looking at her.

"Oh my god, Ana..." Umi Aida's voice sounded a little strong saying Ana's name. He hurriedly walked closer towards Ana, without having time for Ana to shake her hand, Umi Aida immediately hugged Ana's body.

A tear fell on Ana's eye, considering how disobedient she was to her in-laws.

Umi Aida also could not hold back her sense of smell, she was already crying while still hugging Ana's body.

"I'm sorry, Umi" said Ana, who was also crying.

"You're not wrong with Umi, honey." Umi Aida said as she took off her embrace.

Ana shook her head.

"I've been a disobedient son-in-law to Umi first."

"No, Honey. You're not so." Umi Aida also kissed Ana's cheeks covered in a veil.

Ana smiled haru, indeed this in-law has not changed in the past. He still remained the same, still being the gentle person of his heart.

"Fatimah, let's salim Eyang first." Ana called out to Fatimah who was no longer standing next to her. He was now looking towards the bustling santri ahead.

"Done." Call Fatimah with pleasure because it turns out she still remembers the face of Umi Aida at this time.

"This is Fatimah, yes." Umi Aida had welcomed Fatimah's small hand, and brought Fatimah's body in her arms.

Seeing that, Ana again shed her tears. Finally Fatimah met all her family after a few years she was only in love with others who loved her while they lived in Sarah's boarding school.

Very visible look of happiness on Umi Aida saw the arrival of Ana and Fatimah, had long since he waited this time, and finally reached too.

"Fatimah asked to meet Mas Abi, Umi. She didn't stop crying at home." Ana's story to Umi Aida after they have given each other a longing and pardon.

"Abi may soon return home, for the time has come for the prayer."

Now that Abimayu was not in the house, he was busy around the boarding school, and he also did not know the arrival of Ana and Fatimah.

"Pig... Abi..." Fatimah's voice was heard calling out to her father when she saw Abimayu walking from far away towards the house.

The walking Abimayu stared intently at who the little girl who was jumping happily in front of their door. He was very surprised to find out that it was Fatimah. He slightly sped up his path, even he had already run small in order to quickly arrive.

"Fatimah.hemmm Abi longs for Fatimah." Abimayu said when he arrived near Fatimah, and now Fatimah was in his trunk.

Abimayu brought Fatimah into the house, then his eyes saw the veiled woman was sitting with her uminya in the living room while telling a story.

Again his heart felt a strange sigh as his eyes met with the eyes of Ana who also had a chance to look at him for a while.

Not long ago Abimayu accompanied Fatimah to play, there was the sound of Adazan from the pesantren Musholla.

"Fatimah was here first, yes. Abi wants to pray first."

Fatimah the child who missed Abinya too much shook her head. He did not want to be abandoned.

"Honey, it can't be, Abinya Fatimah pray first, later play again." Ana rebukes her daughter who does not want to be left by Abimayu.

Abimayu's heart warmed to hear Ana speak, she imagined as if they were now a whole family. Instantly Abimayu shook his head, indeed he is now sometimes a man who is troubled by love for someone.

"Fatimah follow Abi to pray, Mother." Fatimah answered and had stopped playing, she was afraid that she would be abandoned by Abimayu.

Abimayu smiled at her daughter's answer.

"Come, let's get ready first."

Abimayu immediately agreed to Fatimah's request.

"Where are you, Mother?"

Now Abimayu became confused to hear it.

Unwittingly Abimayu and Ana look at each other again. Ana also became confused, because all this time if she invited Fatimah to pray, must wear mukena. At the moment he is not taking it because he is also not praying.

"Fatimah wear only have one, yes." Umi Aida breaks the confusion between Ana and Abimayu. He brought her a slightly large hijab so that she could use Fatimah as a mukena.

Finally Fatimah went with Abimayu, they walked to each other to the pesantren musholla, and Ana who lived in the house felt a tightness in her chest when she saw the sight.
