The Path of Love Halimah
Episode 51

"Assynoltom... My words slowly opened the door of Eyang Uti's nursery.

"Waalaikumsalam.." Prof Hamdan's voice answered my greetings from the room.

"Instead of Halimah." he said kindly.

I went in and greeted Prof Hamdan and Eyang Uti.

"How's e? Already lightened?" ask to Eyang Uti.

"Alhamdulillah is now much better." replied Eyang Uti slowly.

"Alhamdulillah." I said.

""Relief... Forgive Eyang for asking you to come here today." said Eyang Uti to me.

I shook my head strongly.

"There's no need to apologize... Halimah was happy to be here to see Eyang Uti again." I replied smiling.

Prof Hamdan then gave permission to the cafeteria leaving me both Eyang Uti in the room.

"Goddess.. Did Kyai talk to you, son?" eyang Uti's asking makes me awkward.

"It's been Eyang." I replied nodding.

"Goddess... Apologize if this request is too big.. But only Halimah can be expected... No one knows Halimah.. Since yesterday's incident, Eyang felt very worried about Chia.. Those who fear GOD take Eyang's life while Chia still has not found a suitable contact mother for her... Halima... Eyang.. May Halimah accept this proposal.. For Chia.. For the sake of Eyang ", said Eyang, holding my hand tightly.

"But Eyang.." I answered.

"Eyang promises will try to follow all that Halima wants as long as Halimah is willing to marry Zaky." he said again really memelasih.

His eyes looked teary.

"Eyang's.. If Halimah accepts the proposal that Eyang's family submitted, believe it is all solely for Chia.. Because Halimah really loves Chia Eyang... But is it possible that his Daddy Chia is willing to marry a poor woman and a village like this Halimah? Halimah is not a woman worthy of her Daddy Chia Eyang." I said in a word.

Eyang shook his head strongly.

"No Halimah, Zaky has agreed to Eyang's plan to match you up." replied Eyang again to me.

"Now there is Halimah... Whether Halimah is ready or not... But Eyang begs Halimah.. Consider this the last request of Eyang before Eyang died Halimah." said Eyang Uti again pleading.

"But Halimah is just a kamoung Eyang girl" I replied to her again.

Eyang Uti again shook his head strongly.

"No Halimah, don't say that, son... Halimah is not a village girl, Halimah who Eyang knows is a graceful woman nan sholeha.. Women who always take good care of themselves, polite and loving.. Women who should be the target of men. And had Halimah been willing to accept this proposal, then Zaky and Chia would have been the lucky ones to get Halimah." replied Eyang praising me.

I was embarrassed to hear Eyang's praise.

"Yes the GOD of Eyang.. The compliments you give are too much.. Halima is not as sholeha as Eyang says.. There are so many shortcomings of Halimah that may someday make Eyang and family disappointed" I said in a serious tone.

Again Eyang shook his head.

"Aren't each of us given advantages and disadvantages? Nothing needs to be a problem, son.. For indeed, the perfect one is ALLAH SWT.. So Eyang please son, toling be ready to be a connecting mother for Chia Granddaughter of Eyang.. Halimah Please... It's just Eyang's last request to Halimah son... Eyang.. Help Eyang take care of and raise Chia.. Please.." pinta Eyang solemnly.

I can no longer say anything to refuse the request of Eyang Uti.

Slowly but surely my head nodded slowly agreeing to her request.
