"Goddess...There are things Abi and Umi want to talk about" Abi said after we had dinner together.
"What's Bi?" I was confused staring at Abi and Umi alternately.
"Goddess... It's about Chia...More precisely about Prof Hamdan's family" Abi said.
I was confused and felt a bit strange with Abi's words.
"What's wrong with Prof Hamdan's family?" manya curious.
"Yesterday at the hospital, Prof Hamdan directly told Abi of his relief that he proposed to Halimah to be the mother of Chia's granddaughter." Abi said.
"I mean Abi?" I'm still not believing.
"Goddess... Prof Hamdan proposed to Halimah through Abi and Umi to be his son-in-law, becoming a regular mother to his grandson Chia, because according to him and his wife only Halimah who deserved and sincerely loved their grandson Chia... " umi replied to my question.
Abi nodded strongly.
I shakes in disbelief.
"But Umi... ??" I'm still confused.
" Prof Hamdan told us how difficult it was for them to find a suitable partner for their son Zaky his papa Chia.. Zaky had a relationship a few years ago, but failed because the woman did not like Chia.. And now it's been almost 7 years since Zaky's widowed but has not found a partner.." Abi told me.
"Prof Hamdan and his wife felt it was time for Chia to have a mother, even though they were very old.. They want to see their grandchildren happy with their father and mother later.. Then according to Prof Hamdan's wife, it was Halimah who deserved to be Chia's next mother.. Because Chia is always happy and nayam is beside Halimah.. They believe that Halimah can certainly be a good connecting mother who is able to care for, care for, and raise Chia with a full-hearted tulua" said Umi again.
I just kept quiet without saying anything.
My surprise is still huge.
"But Umi... Halimah and her Daddy Chia don't know each other. Besides Halimah feels that maybe her Daddy's classmate Chia wants to marry a campaign rally like Halimah's Umi.." I replied evasively.
"Goddess.. Isn't your marriage to the late Hafiz not based on love? Except a claim for obedience to parents? Then GOD bestows love between you so that the marriage that was originally intertwined with a sense of forced then turned into a beautiful and harmonious household" abi said he also repeated the memories of my past marriage with the late Abang Hafiz his son.
"Goddess... Chia needs you, son...So Zaky agreed to marry you.. For Chia's sake her beloved child." Abi said to answer my question earlier.
"Maybe this time all done for Chia, but God willing, over time will turn into love if ALLAH meridhoi" said Umi also chimed in.
I went back to speaking a thousand languages.
"Think son... Do not rush to make a decision, bring tahajud... Ask for guidance from GOD... Umi and Abi, God willing always support every good decision that Halimah will take later." advice Abi lgi to me.
I nodded strongly.
I don't know why my eyes are so warm.
Slowly but surely I was crying.
Umi came closer to hug me.
"Trust me son.. Until whenever Halimah will continue to be the daughter of Umi and Abi... Umi and Abi love you so much, son.." hug Umi to me.
I returned Umi's embrace even tighter.
"Permy... Abi... Thank you for always loving Halimah." I replied still with sobs.
