The Journey of Love Habibah..
homecoming

Everyone is eating breakfast that has been served on the dining table with greed. They enjoyed their breakfast while having a light conversation, only Habibah was not there. Well.. Because indeed as long as Habibah was at Mia's house, never once did she eat together at one dining table with everyone. He always eats alone, sometimes he eats before the others eat or vice versa, he will eat if everyone has finished eating. But it was different this morning, when the others just finished with breakfast. Habibah came to the dining table and stood on one side whose chair was not sat. He looked at everyone with a single glance, he knew that everyone in the dining room was watching him in surprise.

" Thank you... Thank you for everything and sorry for the trouble." said Habibah slowly.

Everyone who was sitting almost in unison stood in disbelief at what they were listening to.

" Nur... You... Can you talk? Zelly approached with a face full of happiness even though his facial expression was still filled with disbelief.

" Gift...!" sumarni's mother hugged Habibah. The crying broke, she was really happy because her son was finally back and recovered. Habibah returned his mother's embrace gently.

" I'm sorry, Bibah has been troubling my mom. It makes you sad, Bibah has been wrong." Habibah let go of his embrace slowly.

" For mba and masnya, Bibah thank you for accepting the existence of Bibah here even though we did not know each other before. And as for Mr. Zelly, I really thank you very much for all the kindness of my father, and I'm sorry that I made so many mistakes. Maybe I will never be able to repay all the kindness of my father. I can only pray that you can achieve all your dreams and happiness. Thank you very much..." Habibah slightly bent her body as a sign of respect for Zelly.

Zelly was just dumbstruck while staring at Habibah who was standing not far from his seat. There was an indescribable sense of happiness and disbelief that the woman standing before him was the woman he had longed for his voice all along. And at this moment he had stood not far from her and even talked to her. He barely even heard what Habibah said. He was enjoying his own feelings which were like he was dreaming. Zelly heard Habibah's voice as if listening to a longing song greeting her heart, and it was beautiful for her.

Habibah and those in the dining room looked in wonder at Zelly who did not respond to everything Habibah said. Habibah looks increasingly awkward with Zelly's reaction that seems to ignore what has been conveyed by Habibah. So Habibah felt something was wrong with what was said, yes, he tried to remember everything he just said. He looks for which words or sentences if they are mispronounced. But he did not find a single word or sentence that was wrong according to him. But seeing that Zelly was silent, Habibah bowed her body again and apologized once more to Zelly, then she left the dining room and returned to her room.

" Zell, you're not happy with her recovery?" mia asked impatiently.

" Eh..?" Zelly was confused by Mia's question.

" Don't say eh..? But answer my question, aren't you glad he's recovering?" reset Mia.

" You kidding me? How I won't be happy he's recovering, of course I'm very happy. Can't you see I'm happy?" ask Zelly.

" I don't see, what I saw from earlier was a person who just remained silent no response even seemed to not care. If I see you happy, may I ask?" Mia answered with annoyance.

" Come on Mia, you know how my heart is, so is it possible that I won't care about her? He's everything to me..." Zelly keceplosan said how she felt in front of everyone except Habibah. Even Zelly himself was surprised when he realized that he had slipped. His white face was shamed with shame. Mia who saw Zelly's blushing face could only sneer teasingly at Zelly. Zelly left the dinner table without saying another word.

In her room, Zelly sat near her bedroom window and enjoyed the view of the garden that morning. Slowly but surely, Zelly began to sink into her daydream.

He's recovered...

Then me??

I still can't decide how I should..

One side I want to release my heart from the shackles of my love for her..

But on the other hand I am powerless to stop loving her, this love is still only on her. Then how can I leave him and live my life happily without him in my life?

Now what are my options...

Go back home and receive an arranged marriage from mom?

If I choose one, can I be happy?

Still can I feel all the feelings I've had for Nur..?

Oh Allah....!

I should how?

Two days later, Zelly drove Sumarni's mother and Habibah home. Zelly has also been much better, even pain in his legs is rarely felt. Although the journey took a long time, which was originally only 10 hours of travel is now 13 hours. Because Zelly had to adjust the ability of his legs that have not completely recovered to drive a car in that very long distance. All the way home, very little chatter was going on between them.

Actually Mia has not allowed them to leave, but Mia also knows if they have obligations and responsibilities that they have to do. So with a heavy heart Mia let go of their departure. And Mia felt her house turn into silence after the return of Zelly, Sumarni's mother and Habibah. Which is usually breakfast there they now more often breakfast and dinner alone. While the children are used to eating dinner every ba'da Maghrib. Fadhlan and Mia usually have dinner when they get home from work.

Arriving at home, they have been welcomed by Zain and Nur Laily as well as Sofia's mother. There was also Mr. Rukmana and Laily, Maryam and Dona were waiting in the yard of the house. Two months and a few more days Habibah and Sumarni's mother were in Samarinda city, certainly making the people who were left behind feel homesick for them.

" Young...! Uma...!" uma....!" zain and Nur Laily exclaim together after seeing his mother and grandmother get off Zelly's car. They poured into Habibah's arms. A happy cry broke out from both of them because of their longing that paid off on that day. Habiba returned the embrace of his children with affection and a strong sense of joy filled his heart.

" dear... Uma kangen same you guys.." said Habibah with tears slowly flowing from the corner of his eyes. One by one approached them and embraced full of longing and happiness because Habibah had recovered.

Zelly watched all those scenes with a haru feeling, she was really happy to be able to witness all those heartwarming scenes herself. A scene he had never seen and experienced in his entire life.

Thank goodness you are in the midst of those who love you.

Even if I had to leave this place, I'd be a little quiet.

Because you're in the right place for you..

Zelly smiled bitterly thinking of himself, his own life still does not know where the final destination will be. He was still thinking about which direction he would choose. He is still struggling with everything that binds his heart and life here.

When the atmosphere was in a state of haru and happy, Habibah suddenly fell unconscious. Making the happy mood turn into panic. Zelly, who was still there, immediately requested that Habibah be in his car to be taken to a nearby clinic. Arriving at the clinic, Habibah immediately brought a examination room for initial treatment. After a female doctor examined Habibah's condition, the doctor was out to see Zelly and Habibah's family who helped take Habibah to the clinic.

" Is it her husband's father?" ask the doctor about Zelly.

" Oh, not doc. I'm not her husband, but they're her family." Zelly explained that with a heart that was pounding, he was worried that something had happened to Habibah at that time.

" Alright, then I just want to let you know that the patient is currently in a bad condition. It seems the patient is so exhausted that his body's immunity decreases. Next time please help to pay attention to the patient's condition do not let him tired again...."

" Why is he Doc?" ask Laily.

" Lho.. Do you know if the patient is currently pregnant? His current content has entered the age of 12 weeks, that's why do not let him fatigue again. His blood pressure is currently quite low, plus his body condition is very tired so this could be a bad thing for the development of the fetus today" explained the doctor again.

All who were there were stunned, between happy and sad enveloping their hearts. One side is happy because Habibah is pregnant, but the other side is sad because the father in the womb has left it before the fetus can grow and be born into the world. Slowly the tears of Sumarni's mother and Sofia's mother flowed, either tears or sad tears that were currently falling. Only the grip of their hands were clung to each other as an expression to strengthen each other.
