The Path of Love Halimah
Episode 34

For weeks, I was lost in confusion.

Confused between the desire of the heart is so great to return to live in the cottage with my in-laws or stay in the village accompany Father and Mother spend their old age.

"Hey... Halima... My order is done?" ask a customer to break up my long daydream.

"Astagfirulah... Sorry sis.yeah, this is the order already.a total of Rp.25,000 kak.." I replied gagagapp.

"This money... Want to sell or daydream?" answer the buyer with annoyance.

"Thank you brother.. Sorry yes. "I said once more while bowing my head.

"Hmmm." he said slowly and then passed away.

"Goddess... Why are you, son? some days I notice you often daydream.. You sick? or is there something you're hiding from Mom?" ask Mom to come closer to me.

I shook my head strongly.

"I'm sorry Halimah Buk" I replied briefly.

"Goddess... Tell me if anything makes you feel uncomfortable!" mother said to me again.

I still grinned with a smile.

"You're saddened by the people's talk about your current status?" mother asked again to allude to the words of the people who gossiped about my unfortunate fate who are now widows at a young age.

"No Buk... Halimah does not care about their words Buk... Whatever they want to talk about Halimah, for Halimah it does not need to be addressed... Halima Prakahan to ALLAH who is all-knowing and all-planning for all that is in the life of Halimah Buk.. What is important for Halimah, Mother, Father healthy... And always love Halimah." answered me hugging my beloved mother.

"Of course, honey... Father and Mother will always love you.and always pray for the best for our beloved daughter alone.." replied Mother to my heart.

"Halima dear mother.." I said again while showering her wrinkled cheeks with a spoiled kiss.

Then we laughed together.

"You don't have any plans for Halimah yet?" ask Dad to me.

"What is Dad saying?" I said back to asking.

"What are your plans going forward?? How about you go to college, son??" ask dad to surprise me.

How could I not be surprised by the question. Wasn't it You who so vehemently rejected my desire to continue college.. So hard he forced me to marry his chosen man.. He also said that the woman did not need a high school.just can read, write and count to provision teach her child² later.. Because after all according to him the nature of the woman is at home.

And now, he jelals ask and even suggest kj for college? what's up with her?? Thought weird.

"Lecture?" ask me to come back again.

He nodded strongly.

" I feel guilty for what happened to you now, son.. Dad's too arrogant.. Too hypocritical.. If only Dad let you continue your school at that time, maybe now you are as successful as Rahman.. Or even more.. Not a widow at this young age... Pardon Father Son.." said Father quietly in a sad tone.

I still don't believe her words.

I could only quietly absorb word for word the regret that Dad threw out of his mouth.

"Now I want to make your dreams come true, son.. It's not too late, is it? I will fight hard to help you realize all your ideals... Pursue all your dreams, son.. Father and Mother must support you." said Father again and this time accompanied by sobs Mother who sat right next to me.

I still didn't take out a word.

With trembling I sat down and bowed at Father's feet.

Dad immediately picked me up and hugged me tightly.

Mom's approaching.

We hugged in the night without any more talk.
