The Path of Love Halimah
Episode 25's. Live Life

My father's advice and the presence of Brother Hafiz in my subconscious a few days ago seemed to wake me up from a long, painful dream.

There is no temptation that GOD gives beyond the ability of his servant.

I should have risen from this fall. It is not appropriate that I continue to dissolve in sadness to trouble my parents with my life that feels so poor.

With renewed vigor, I walked into the kitchen to meet Mom and Dad who were enjoying a sweet potato and a warm cup of coffee on the table.

"Dad... Mother.." I said to them politely.

"What's up, kid... Come here." answered Mother with a wave of her hand.

I approached and hugged Mom tightly.

Hugged Dad and kissed both of their fingers.

Their faces looked astonished at my behavior.

"Goddess... You okay, son?" ask me to worry.

I smiled and nodded strongly.

"Dad, Mother... Halimah apologizes for bothering Mom and Dad.. Makes Father and Mother worried about Halima's behavior that is too late in sadness.. Halimah promise, from today will not be sad anymore.. From today, Halimah wants to rise again.. Go back to living a new life and fight with Mom and Dad.. Forgive Halimah Dad.. Mother.."I said excitedly.

Mom and Dad nodded strongly with faces moved.

It was clear that Mother's tears were dripping softly on her cheeks while saying "Alhamdulillah" she said thankfully.

"Father and Mother will always be there for you, son.. Will always be ready to be your place to stand until anytime.. Mom and Dad love you so much, son." said Dad stroking my head gently.

"Thank you, Mom." I said happily.

This morning, my life was bright again, my spirit has recovered.

After breakfast with Father and Mother, I returned to the room to pray dhuha and offered all prayers to ALLAH SWT asking for forgiveness, strength, fortitude, health, and peace, sustenance and patience in the face of all the trials of life that will continue to come alternately in my life.

"Yet.. Starting tomorrow, Halimah helps you sell at the market... Halimah was bored at home." I said to Mom who was cooking for lunch.

I nodded happily.

"Later Halimah accompany Mom yes.. We have the same sanity." I said again to Mom.

"May.." replied the short mother with a smile of her sweetest.

We smile at each other.

In the afternoon, Mom and I walked casually to a stall not far from the rymah to buy some cake ingredients.

There was a little bit of uneasiness, when I passed by some of the residents' mothers who were busy gathering in the long chair in front of the ribdang tree which was right in front of the stall.

"Hours are busy." greet my mother politely to them.

They reply with a greeting and their best smile.

While I just gave a little smile to greet them.

It was clear at first glance that I heard them talking about my fate which they found quite unfortunate.

"Kasian ya Halimah was a young widow.. Widow Kembang.hhahaha" said they pity and laugh at my fate.

Mother who also heard their words looked at me immediately.

Making sure I'm okay with inappropriate talk from the people.

"Gakpapa Buk." I replied smiling at Mom.

Mom nodded then stroked my cheek gently.

"Keep Me, O GOD."I whispered in my heart.

It is very difficult to hide this heartache from all their words about me, but I must be strong and strong. I cannot go back to being sad in my heart.
