When Love Should Determine
Chapter 99

Hamzah keeps a promise to take Larissa to her mother's funeral. But on the same day Izza, Hamzah's younger sister will also have a wedding. Feeling bad for Hamzah's family for not helping anything since yesterday, they also agreed to see Izzah's wedding was new to the funeral.

It did not take long for them to get there, especially by riding a motorcycle. The distance from Larissa's house to Hamzah's parents' house is only a few hundred meters.

In some small villages in Indonesia such as the village where Larissa lived, the residents still uphold the principle of gotong royong. If there is one of the residents who has a wish or is being hit by a disaster, they will come to help without being asked. And now they are also working together to help prepare the wedding Izzah. There was even a citizen who gave up his yard turned into a soup kitchen.

Once there, Larissa immediately entered the soup kitchen to help the work of the mothers there.

"Alhamdulillah, you can come here too, son!," said one mother when she saw him coming.

"Yes, ma'am, it's not good not to help. Sorry, I can't take long. After this I want to visit mother's grave, because I'm the only one who doesn't know where mom's grave is."

"It's okay, son! What matters is that you're helping."

"I'm sorry if I can't help much, because today is also seven days of the death of the mother, so later tonight want to give a lecture to pray for it."

"You are a good boy. May God always give you happiness."

Larissa assured the prayer addressed to her by the mother. Not forgetting the sweet smile she gave anyway.

"Oh yeah, how are you doing now? I heard you recently had surgery?."

"Yes, ma'am, but it's getting better now. I hope my illness doesn't come up again."

"Mother."

Larissa thinks their conversation should stop there. Otherwise, he would not be able to help anything and just continue chatting. "I'll excuse you first, ma'am. I want to help others."

Meanwhile on the other hand Hamzah was busy helping to establish a guarantee with other fathers.

...****************...

"Mother, I came to visit you. Sorry, I can only come now" Larissa said as she arrived before her mother's grave.

Slowly he positioned his body parallel to the tomb. His outstretched hand touched the tombstone bearing his mother's name. The smell of the ground was still so fresh, as if only yesterday the body of the mother was buried. "How's mom doing there? I hope you have the best place on God's side."

No more tears flowing from both eyes. He was sincere to let go of his mother to the owner of life. Moreover, he knew that if there were relatives who were still crying over the passing of the dead, then the person would not be calm in the grave, and Larissa didn't want that to happen to her mother.

slowly he closed his eyes, both hands held up while his mouth said prayers intended for the mother.

Hamzah positioned himself beside his wife, doing as he did.

Slowly Larissa opened her eyes, lips said the word amen with her hands rubbing her face. Apparently he had finished praying. Not to forget he sprinkled seven flowers that he had bought before coming here to the tomb of the mother.

After everything was done, Larissa said goodbye. "Mom, I'll go home first. Next time I'll come here again, "he rubbed the mother's tombstone as if touching her mother directly.

"Are you feeling better?" asked Hamzah as they reached outside the cemetery.

Larissa nodded. "Yes, now I feel more relieved. Thanks for bringing me here."

"Together, I'm glad to hear you've been relieved," a sweet smile etched on the face. "Then we go home now. Poor Zahra kalaunkita stay too long."

Larissa nodded, and they left the place.

...****************...

Larissa is very happy. The more days Hamzah showed more love and affection for him, especially after the departure of the mother.

Hamza is not a romantic. He is a type of person who doesn't talk much. It prefers to show love and affection with deeds rather than indulging in friendly words.

At first, Larissa did not understand, she was eager to hear sweet words from her husband as the other women wanted from their husbands. But over time he realized he was wrong. And he never disputed that again.

Today's wedding reception Izzah. Since morning Hamzah and his small family have been there to help. There's not much they can do, because everything's been ready since yesterday.

The day went on, the groom's family began to come. Everyone is ready to welcome their arrival.

Like the others, Larissa and Hamzah also did the same. Moreover, this was the first time they had seen the husband of Izzah.

When Izzah's application procession took place, they could not join because at that time Larissa was also struggling on the operating table.

The view of Larissa looking for the husband figure of her sister-in-law. He was so curious as to what his face was like. Many people say that Izzah was very lucky to be married to the son of a rich man.

Larissa's eyes were fixed on a man she believed to be Izzah's husband, visible from the clothes she was wearing today. But when he saw the man's face, he felt something strange, something that should not happen even if he already had a husband.

Yes, Larissa felt the vibrations of love, the same vibes she felt when she first met her husband Hamzah. A very wrong vibration. "Is this what I'm feeling? Why do I feel this vibration?."

Quickly Larissa brushed off that feeling. "No! This can't happen. This feeling is wrong, I mustn't let this happen."

Larissa turned her face away and chose to leave the place immediately. He didn't want his feelings to get more messed up when he saw the man for too long.

The reception begins, all seated in their own places. The host came forward to guide the course of the event.

The show went well. Everything happened as desired. Until now, come at the end of the event, which is prayer.

Throughout the event, Larissa chose to hide herself in the soup kitchen. He did not want the vibration he felt earlier to reappear when he appeared outside.

All shows are over. Food began to be served. All the mothers in the kitchen lined up to distribute food.

For a moment Larissa forgot the vibration she felt earlier and participated in the line. But suddenly he felt a very intense pain on ***********
