The Path of Love Halimah
Episode 21's. Tomb of Abang

My body trembled violently when I reached the Tomb of Abang Hafiz.

The name of Abang Hafiz is clearly written on a very new tombstone.

"My husband is completely gone." I said hug Mom.

"Istigfar Halima.. You must be strong." replied Mother as she gently stroked my back.

"Astagfirullah.." I said repeatedly.

Slowly I approached the tombstone. "Assalamualaikum Brother.. Halimah comes Bang.. Sorry just today Halimah came to see Abang.. Halimah miss Bang.. How dear GOD is to Brother, He does not let Brother feel any pain.. He took the brother in his own way.. Forgive for all the mistakes of Halimah.. Sorry Halimah can't be a good wife for you... Halimah miss Bang.. Missed terribly.." I said quietly in front of Abang Hafiz's grave.

"Let's pray for the Deceased" said Father, breaking my long daydream.

I nodded slowly.

I lead prayer with wisdom.

My tears just kept flowing without stopping.

All those happy memories so short danced in my eyes.

"Astagfirullah.." I said in my heart repeatedly.

Trouble I wiped away the tears I couldn't stop.

"Halima misses Bang.. I miss you so much." I said again in my heart.

Finished Praying I re-embrace the tombstone of Brother Hafiz.

"Abangs.. Halimah.. Forgive all the sins of Halimah while she is your wife... My brother was the perfect husband for Halima.. Although our marriage is only 3 months, but it is so beautiful for Halimah Bang.. Halimah dear Brother.. A calm brother... God willing, sincerely accept all the destinies that GOD has written on both of us." I whispered on the tombstone.

"Yes, Allah forgive all the sins of Abang Hafiz.. Lay grave.. Make hisab easy.. Place it among those who believe.. And make the inhabitants of your paradise, O ALLAH.. Aamiin Yarobbal Alamiin" I said again praying still while hugging the headstone of Brother Hafiz.

"Halimah, let's go home son..! It's getting late." Ask Dad to lift both my shoulders.

I nodded at my father's orders.

With gontai I walked away from the tomb of Abang Hafiz.

Leaving a piece of my heart there.

Mom and Dad kept me walking on the right and left side.

They are now my reason for facing reality.

The twilight that began to come along with a small drizzle made my heart feel even more painful.

My feet don't float on the road.

My head is heavy like a big rock.

"Astagfirullah.." I said stop my steps.

My hands reflect tightly on my mother's arms she's beside me.

"Why Nak?" ask Mother.

"Halima dizzy Buk" I replied softly barely audible by Mother.

It feels heavier.

My sights are circling.

Then it's all dark.

It's just Mom's voice I hear.

"Ohimahhhhh.....!!!" my mother called my name repeatedly.

I can't answer Mom's call.

My head is throbbing faster.

I was also unconscious.

"Goddess... Wake up son.." I'm back to hear Mom's voice calling my name.

"Oh.." I replied quietly in a choked voice.

"Halima why?" many heavy.

"Halimaj passed out on the way home, son.." replied Mother again.

"Doctor Halimah said nothing.. Just tired and low blood pressure." Mom explained to me.

"I'm sorry Buk.. Again Halimah troubles Mom and Dad." I said again sad.

"Nothing to bother, dear.. You are the answer, Mom and Dad.. You have to be strong, son.. Believer, there is not one temptation that GOD has placed on his people beyond his means.. And Halimah must be sure there will be wisdom behind all the events that now befall Halimah... Remember there are still Mothers and Fathers and GOD who are so fond of Halimah and will always be on Halimah's side in joy and sorrow.. Pray a lot and pray a lot, son.. I love Halimah Nak very much." said Mother again advised me while wiping my hair long unraveled.

"Halima dear Mother." said I hugged Mother again.

Mother replied to me with a tighter and warmer hug.
