The Path of Love Halimah
Episode 32

"Assalamualaikim Brother.. How are you..? Halimah came with Umi and Abi.. We all miss you so much.. A calm brother.. Umi and Abi are also healthy here.. We will always pray for you.. God willing, Brother laid down his grave.It was placed in the heaven of GOD without the law.. Aamiin" I said as I gently stroked the tombstone bearing the name of my beloved husband's almathun.

My tears are slowly dripping.

Abi began to lead prayers to be given to the late Abang Hafiz.

The quiet afternoon atmosphere with the breeze made my heart more sore.

I miss my husband so much.

"Astagfirullah.." I said in my heart.

Finished praying with heavy strides I slowly followed the footprints of Umi and Abi leaving the burial area.

Umi who seemed to know my current feelings immediately hugged me and wiped my tears.

"Empress Halimah Umi." I said slowly.

He shook his head strongly.

"It's okay, honey.. Umi understood Halimah's feelings.. Umi was also very longing for Hafiz. "her answer held my hand tightly.

I nodded strongly and returned to taking part.

We then returned to the boarding house.

Night then came.

Peace is so soothing every time you can pray together and listen to tausiah Abi in the pesantren mosque is large enough to accommodate almost all of his santri children.

'Pak Kyai' is a call that santri used to mention to Abi my father-in-law.

He was so charismatic, so decisive and so authoritative.

I am grateful to have a Father and Mother-in-law who love me so much.

At the end of his tauziah, he led a prayer to be sent to the late Abang Hafiz my husband who was none other than his own biological son.

I came back crying.

My mother-in-law too.

We hugged each other.

In Allah, I will also follow him.

"Place his grave, O ALLAH. Place it among the people of your choice.. Aamiin" my prayer is also in my heart.

"Assalamualaikum Halimah, how are you?"call Wati to me.

Wati is one of the senior santri who is still a cousin with the late Abang Hafiz.

Such a beautiful and friendly boy.

"Alhamdulillah Halimah is healthy dear... Wati how are you?" my answer also greeted him.

"Be healthy brother.. Since when did Halimah come?"ask her again.

"Just yesterday afternoon deck. "my answer again rang out.

"Wati is very happy to see Halimah here.. You're back at the cottage?"tanyakanya.

I'm shaking.

"No dear.. Halimah just visited." I replied.

"Owh.. Wati thinks big brother lives here again.. If only Halimah stayed here, Wati would be very happy.. Let there be more friends." he said spoiled.

I smile back.

"There's no plan, honey.. But pray for it.. How do you know next time Halimah's brother comes back here to stay with Wati in this cottage.." answered me again.

"Aamiin.." he said happily.

Tonight I spent some time talking warmly with Umi and Abi.

Wati's words earlier in the courtyard of the mosque seemed to be heard by Umi, so Umi also proposed to me to return to live in the cottage and teach here.

"Halima needs to talk all about Dad and Mom first Umi... God willing, if there is a decision, Halimah will immediately contact Umi ya.." I replied politely.

"alright... Umi and Abi really hope Halimah wants to go back to the cottage..Umi wait for Halimah's answer yes." he said again stroking me gently.

I nodded.

"Good night Umi... Abi.." I said again before leaving them to go to the bedroom.
