The Path of Love Halimah
Episode 63

"Hey... How come you haven't slept?" greet Brother Zaky who is lying right next to me.

"Not sleepy yet." I answered briefly.

"Why you?" asked Brother Zaky who seemed to be very understanding with my feelings which were currently chaotic.

"Abangs... Actually Halimah and Rahman used to be close friends, very close." I said starting the story with Brother Zaky.

"Oww... Continues to?" her questions began to be curious.

"Halima and Rahman were friends from childhood, until we grew up.. After we graduated High School, Rahman asked Halimah to his late father, but was rejected.." My story began to look back on the past.

" Halimah was then betrothed to the late Abang Hafiz, the only son of Umi and Abi.. While Rahman wanders into the city realizing his ideals of being a respected person so as not to be seen one eye by the late father.. Rahman and his family once held a grudge against the Halimah family." I said.

Brother Zaky listened carefully without interrupting.

"Then Abang Hafiz died, Halimah had returned to live in the village and Rahman once again asked Halimah but then rejected by his family who still hate Halimah" I said again.

"To eliminate the bad issue of the status of the widow that Halimah was holding, Halimah eventually moved back to the cottage to live with Umi and Abi and the children of the santri.. Then then the disaster occurred, a landslide struck the hometown where Father and Mother.. And they were the victims of the disaster at that time." I said with a hoarse tone to hold back tears remembering the gloomy time when I saw the dead bodies of Father and Mother lying helplessly in the yellow corpse.

Brother Zaky then held tightly to both of my hands.

"Not long after Mom and Dad died, Rahman went to the lodge with her parents with the intention of asking for my hand and wanting to take responsibility for myself being an orphan.. But I rejected his proposal." My story again in Brother Zaky's arms.

"And then, we got married in about such a short time.. Wisdom and closed marriage.. Halimah did not invite Rahman, nor did she preach it because we had not spoken anymore, nor sent a message again since Halimah again rejected her proposal.. And only yesterday when we met again unintentionally." I said and then showed all the short messages Rahman sent me.

"Goddess... Relax, tomorrow you will talk to him face to face.. Brother will explain everything until he understands and does not think badly of you again..okay?" persuade Brother Zaky to try to calm me down.

I shook my head strongly.

"No need to Bang... Let everything that has happened.. There's nothing to explain.. He is nothing to Halimah, He is only the past.. Maybe this is better for us.. Let Him hate Halima Bang.. For Halimah the most important thing is, Brother does not think the same thing to Halimah,.. Believe me Bang, Halimah is willing to marry Abang not on the basis of wealth and splendor, but all because Halimah loves Chia and Eyang.." I said again affirming to Abang Zaky.

"Maybe at this time, Halimah still can not love her full brother, Abang said to Halimah.. But Halimah promised to try to be a good wife for you.. And inshaallah will continue to look after Abang's wife until jannah later. "i said again looking fixed to his face.

"Allow Halimah to serve Abang.. Give Halimah space to be part of your life.. Please.." I said asking him.

He nodded strongly.

"Abang will try to learn to love Halimah and be the best husband for Halimah.. Brother promised.." his answer made me feel so calm and happy.
