The Path of Love Halimah
Episode 23's. My in-laws

The departure of Brother Hafiz still holds such a deep wound in my heart.

Since the incident I passed out the other day, Mom finally decided not to go selling first for a while.

My mother accompanied me for the whole day.

Give me encouragement and advice that strengthens me.

I also began to be determined to rise.

I who was still in the iddah period began to feel bored at home.

I sat pensively on the edge of the window that was right next to the guest chair.

"Assalamualaikum.." a voice said a greeting from outside the house.

"Waalaikumsalam" I replied as I immediately stood opening the door.

"Umi's.. Abi... "I was surprised to see my two in-laws standing at the door.

"Assalamualaikum Halimah." said Umi as she grabbed me in her arms.

"Waalaikumsalam Umi." I replied while returning his warm embrace.

We hugged each other for a long time.

I clearly felt Umi's body shaking violently holding back her cries.

I hugged him tighter.

stroking his shoulder as if confirming to him that I'm fine.

Scroll towards Abi, my father-in-law.

It was a sad face that I could not cover.

there is a puddle of water that is being resistant so as not to drip in the corner of his eye.

"How are you, son?" tanya Umi let go of her embrace.

"Alhamdulillah Umi, Halimah is well" I replied again while kissing her hands and the hands of my Father-in-law.

"Let's go to Umi.. Abi.." take me to them.

After allowing them to sit in the guest chair, I immediately rushed to the kitchen to call Mother who was cooking for lunch.

"Yet... There's Umi and Abi outside" I told Mom.

"Ohya..??" my mother replied rather surprised.

I nodded slowly.

"Yaudah if so Halimah prepare a drink, Mother go change clothes first yes." replied Mother again rushed into her room located not far from the kitchen.

While making warm tea I heard the voice of Mother who greeted me kindly my two in-laws who were visiting.

They were so attentive to me.

And I know very well that they were also so hurt at the departure of Abang Hafiz his beloved son.

After serving warm tea on the guest table, I sat right next to Umi whom I had considered to be my own mother.

She smiled bitterly looking at me.

gently rub my right cheek.

Slowly her tears came back.

"Umi misses Halimah." she said softly.

I who was unable to stem the tears immediately hugged her again tightly.

"Halima misses Umi, too." I replied.

"It all happened so fast, son.. So painful. "he said again while continuing to cry and hug my body.

I just kept quiet, unable to make a sound.

"Umi knew Halimah must have been devastated.. Umi is so dear.. Umi loves Hafiz as well as Halimah. Umi already considers Halimah like Umi's own biological child.. Umi feels lost once, son.. Losing you both.." she kept crying.

"Permy... Pardon Halimah." I hugged her tighter.

"Halima is not ready to return to Umi pesantren.. There are so many wonderful memories with Brother Hafiz there.. Although short but so clingy unforgettable.. Halima is not strong Umi.." I said her reply still with a cry anyway.

"Unfathom my son.. But believe me whenever Halimah wants to come to the pesantren, Umi and Abi slalu there for Halimah.. Umi does not want the departure of Hafiz to break our friendship dear... Umi loved Halimah very much ", said Umi again stroked my back with a soft sangag.

"Actually yesterday we went from the shaykh to the tomb of Hafiz Buk.. Mr.. Just sorry not to stop by the pesantren because it has been kesorean and Haljmah had fainted yesterday" said my mother who had been crying too much to see me and Umi hugged each other.

"It's okay Buk.. We understand it so much." replied my father-in-law also to Mother.

"Assalamualaikum." came the voice of my father who had just returned from the garden.

"Waalaikumsalam" we answered almost shaking hands.

Dad immediately went in to clean himself up and met my two in-laws.

After a short conversation, we had lunch together at home.

Umi and Abi look pretty happy to be together with all of us.

"Halimah.this is an item for Halimah." said Umi again before saying goodbye.

"Thank you Umi." I answered welcoming a gray pink pouch from my mother-in-law.

"Goddess... Everything that happens is the destiny of the owner of life.. Believe me Umi and Abi pray for the best for Halimah.. Umi and Abi's house is also a slalu boarding house open to Halimah.. Umi and Abi Sangar love Halimah.. Halimah is not alone, son.. A strong and strong halimah ua Nak. "my father-in-law said.

I nodded my head and kissed her hand.

"Abi and Umi are in good health.. Halimah loves Abi and Umi" I said also pepper Abi.
