"Goddess Umi.. Halimah was full of Umi.. Umi's cuisine is the best." I said praising my mother-in-law in front of the dining table.
I am so happy to be back to enjoy all the Umi cuisine that is so delicious.
Umi is good at cooking, the late Abang Hafiz also always praised his beloved Umi cuisine.
"Makanya Abi can't be thin Halimah... Umi's cuisine is too good not to enjoy Abi, where maybe Abi can control the appetite if Umi's cuisine is as delicious as this.." praise my father-in-law also on the cuisine of his wife.
I laughed when I heard Abi's words.
"That's just Abi Halimah's excuse.. Though Umi has often reminded Abi to keep eating.. Remember the doctor's message.. Later kolestrol is high again loh.." said Umi also sneered.
"Once in a while, Bi. enjoy life." I replied in support of Abi.
"Well, that's right." said Abi also sloroh.
We laughed together.
Umi just shook her head while smiling thinly.
"Mother and Dad are healthy, son?" abi asked to change the subject.
"Alhamdulillah healthy Bi.. They send greetings to Abi and Umi." I replied.
"Goddessalam.."Umi and Abi answered almost simultaneously.
"We will be kemakam later in the afternoon ba'da ashar aja Nak, now Halimah pray trus rest first." said Umi also to me.
"Good Umi... Halimah help Umi finish this food first yes.. After that, Halimah prayed" I replied politely.
Umi nodded in agreement.
Abi got up from his dining chair leaving me and Umi who were still cleaning up the remains of our lunch.
"Assalamualaikum.." I said slowly as I entered Brother Hafiz's room.
The room that was my bridal room when I first got here.
My tears came back to remember all the beautiful memories in this room.
At that time I and Brother Hafiz were still shy.
Understand the newlyweds with a wedding without a courtship.
My eyes begin to glaze over.
My wedding photos are so simple.
My face was clearly embarrassed, while Brother Hafiz seemed to be trying to smile with his face so stiff.
"Abangs... Halimah misses." I said kissing her picture.
I cried softly.
My heart is back.
Be ill.
But this time I cried not because I lamented fate, just because of my longing for my late husband.
"Abang must have been happy in heaven, right? Maybe you forgot about Halimah.. Brother was cool to enjoy heaven with her beautiful angels are incomparably.. Halimah jealous Bang.. Halimah envied.." I said to myself as I stared at the photo of Brother Hafiz.
I smiled in my tears.
"Astagfirullah.." I said when I woke up from my daydream.
I went immediately to do the dhuzur prayer before lying lazily on a bed that was soft enough to take me to a long nap in the hope of meeting Hafiz's brother in a dream.
"Halima Rindu Bang... Very long.." I said softly before really falling asleep.
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok
"Assalamualailkum Halimah" said Msrtua's mother woke my sleep.
"Waalaikumsalam Umi." I immediately got up from sleep.
"Still asleep? Have you prayed Ashar?" ask Umi.
"Sorry Umi.. Halimah overslept" I replied embarrassedly.
Umi smiled and nodded.
"Yes, pray immediately.. That Abish we went on a pilgrimage to the tomb of Hafiz.. Umi and Abi wait for Halimah outside ya.." he said while stroking my cheek gently.
I also smiled.
