The Journey of Love Habibah..
Brother Yusuf was disappointed

Purnomo was finally able to calm down now, because it turned out that he had been thinking too much about Zelly and Habibah. While chatting, there came a car and parking right in the house. Purnomo and Habibah looked at each other to see who was coming. It turned out that the first brother Habibah, brother Yusuf and his wife Nuraini. Habibah who saw them get out of the car immediately approached him and kissed their hands. But somehow Nuraini looks very dislike Habibah. Probably because Habibah was the closest sister to her husband Joseph. Habibah can only pretend not to know it in order to keep her brother's feelings. But the attitude shown by Nuraini is very clear, so that anyone can see his dislike for Habibah easily.

" Sister Yusuf why did you come home today? We waited from yesterday.. When can we get together with the circumstances of all our family members gathered. It's like longing for the sungkeman atmosphere like old times.."

" Don't expect something you can't make happen. Never expect the same thing as when you were a kid and still single. Remember that.. If you are now very mature, you should be ashamed of your child. This mindset of yours is like you're rejecting the fact that you're old now." Nuraini interrupted Habibah's unfinished sentence. After that he passed and went into the house to meet other families. Habibah who saw Nuraini's dislike for him could only be silent and downcast.

" That's it.. You know the nature of your sister-in-law. So don't put it in your heart.." Joseph tried to console Habibah's heart which looked sad.

When Habibah and Joseph had just stepped a few steps to get into his house, came another car parked next to Joseph's car. As commanded, Habibah, Joseph and Purnomo turned to the direction the car came. After a while, a couple of men got out of the car. Joseph hurried away when he found out who had come.

" Yusuf...!!"

Joseph was forced to stop his footsteps with his position now at the entrance of his house. He turned his head reluctantly towards the voice that called his name.

" What's up?" ask her in a completely unfriendly tone.

"I.. I came here to apologize." he said guiltily.

" Sorry..? You remember those words now? Then where were those words when you hurt my sister? Where were those words when you betrayed my sister? And where are those words when you ignore my sister with her child? " Joseph approached and clasped the shirt worn by the uninvited guest firmly.

" Brother Yusuf.. Never mind.. Shame to see people. Better talk about it.."

" The hypocrite..!" chirp a woman standing not far from Habibah.

" Oh, so you're that shameless woman? Just for the sake of a woman like this you even threw away my sister? Hi Qodir.. Right now I'm telling you.. I'm grateful that you left my sister, even though I can't accept that you hurt my sister and niece with something unforgivable. But I'm still thankful you did it all. I'm grateful that my sister is apart from a human like you who has no principles in life. I'm glad that you've got someone right by your side. Because my sister is too good and precious to be by your side. And now why are you coming here? If you just want to say sorry, we've heard it and now you can go." Joseph let go of the clutches of his hands while pushing Qodir's body almost to a fall. Fortunately Lina swiftly pulled Qodir's hand so as not to fall to the ground.

" I know you're mad at me, but I want to see my son. Lecturer.. Allow me to meet my son, please." Qodir pleaded with earnestness. Habibah did not answer anything, he then went into his house which turned out everyone in his house was watching the drama that happened outside the house. Habibah approached Zain who was playing with his cousin in the room.

" Dear.. follow Uma for a while yes." Habibah said to Zain. Zain simply nodded and then stood following Habibah out to meet Qodir. After arriving at the terrace of the house Zain ran to Purnomo.

" Dear, that's Zain's brother.. Look first, and Salim first yes." refer to Purnomo. Zain hugged Purnomo's neck.

" It seems that Zain was not willing to meet with Mas Qodir. Maybe it's because he's too small to understand what a real father is and not a real father. Had it been a long time since Mas Qodir met and introduced himself as his real father, I'm sure he wouldn't have been this scared." Purnomo finally opened his voice also over the situation at that time.

" You must have poisoned her mind, right, Bibah.? So that he would hate his real father and only accept this man as his father?" accuse Lina of Habibah.

" Athaghfirullah hal'adzim mba Lina.. I may not be a good person, but I also know my sins. I can't possibly instill bad thoughts about her biological father in Zain. Maybe me and Mas Qodir are exes, but not on Zain. Until at any time even until the apocalypse they are still father and son, so it is very sinful if I will break the bond between them. The blood relationship between them will not be able to change even if only with the word former mba. Logically, if only Zain knew with mas Qodir earlier and could be close to him. Is it possible that Zain will behave as he is now?"habibah said to Lina in a tone that she tried to keep as calm as possible. He tried not to get provoked by Lina's words.

" So you want to blame us? While the child is in your care. If it's true that you didn't influence this child, then how could he have acted the opposite to a stranger like her? So don't talk about sin." Lina continued to try to corner Habibah, but Habibah still tried to calm down.

" The good Mba Lina... He is my future husband, of course because he can be close to Zain that's why I can accept him. If you can't believe it's your problem. It's a problem, keep Zain away from them if they don't believe. I also will not force Zain to accept them. If you still cannot accept and feel dissatisfied, you can do other ways even through the law I will serve." Habibah finally uttered a sentence that made them speechless. Purnomo brought Zain into the house and was followed by Habibah. Qodir, Joseph, and Lina remained in the courtyard.

" Qodiris.. It used to be possible that we were best friends, that's why I can trust my sister to you because I know you're a good person. But it turns out I was wrong, maybe as long as I am friends with you my eyes have been blind so I can't recognize you well. But now my eyes have opened wide and recognized the real you. I'm really sorry I gave my sister to you, I'm sorry I gave my sister the pain of marrying her to you. I'm really disappointed in you. And ever since you left my sister and niece you've been a stranger to me. Friends are just a nightmare for me. And about Zain, don't try to blame Habibah. You two should be introspecting yourself, what you've been doing to her all this time. Do you ever care about him or remember his whereabouts? Have you done your duty as a parent? Don't regret what was your choice. Now you've seen your son and seen how he behaves with you. So now you better get out of here. Because you have ruined our beautiful atmosphere." after finishing his sentence, Joseph left Qodir and Lina, who were still glued to his place.

Joseph..

I'm sorry, I destroyed everything just to fulfill my own desires. Everything has changed because I changed it. Even my existence here is now a thorn that must be removed immediately. I'm not gonna blame you for any of this, because it's all my fault.

Qodir set foot in a feeling that could not be described with words. Even he looked desperate with the circumstances he was facing right now. He really regretted everything, but what a force of regret now was nothing at all. Lina felt very angry when she saw Qodir just silent and even seemed to accept everything said by Habibah and Joseph.
