ZULFA FORTITUDE
Tia's sister

The letter she just received, from someone she doesn't know her name. This is what it means .....

Halima tried to digest the sentences written in the letter.

"Herman, here dech, mama, don't you understand this?"

"What, Ma.." he approached, and read the contents of the letter. She smiles. Finally true, what he suspected.

"Mama don't worry. Herman is done. We're not told to vacate this house in a month. There's still time" Herman said jokingly.

"You mean, Mama told me to get out of this house. No way, you'd rather die if you told me to leave this place" Halimah said grumbling.

"Lha, you said you took care of it. How about a rich gini letter."

"Indeed, Herman just took from Ayyas" Herman was excited to explain it to Halimah.

"Yes .. assume it's from someone who is not sane." replied Herman casually.

"Yes already. Mama's calm." Waving her hand.

"You've gone in there. I'm gonna wait for Aldo with Zulfa."

"Zulfa want to come here, Ma?" herman's heart was so flowery.

"If you go out in front of your mother... There go, before he comes."

"How can you really upset your own child, for the sake of a former daughter-in-law."

"Likes mama. Now go or Aldo never come home, let's go with Zulfanya's mother."

"Yes dech, Herman said. Than not getting both" said Herman disappointed. Leaving Halimah who was enjoying her wait and also her milk coffee.

While Herman passed while carrying a letter that he had just received. This can be used as evidence, in case Mary wants custody of her child. As Herman remembers custody for minors, being in his birth mother. If that happened, it was unlikely that she would be willing to give them to Maria, even though she was her birth mother. Better in Zulfa's hands. Not to burden, but the kids are sticky with Zulfa. May Allah repay your kindness, Zulfa ....

He also had his report to the police after the Maria attack on his mother and himself. Hopefully it can strengthen custody of her child. Only, until now where are you, son .... God found myself with Mutia immediately. I'm worried that something will happen to you when the divorce papers come out.

Monday tomorrow, I have a signature. Lord, protect my daughter ....

Hope this is the best ....

Before long, the sound of a car entering his yard. Heard the voices of 2 women who were sorely missed. But he hesitated and was ashamed to see her. Moreover, there has been a warning from him ' NEVER MEET ME' . Herman dare not break it. Although I very much want.

Before long, Aldo was seen in a hurry, entering his room. Then, as usual, come out with a bag full of stuff.

"Sister Aldo is going. Not saying goodbye to dad."

"That, Dad. Mother wants to take Aldo for a walk, all staying at the mother's house." Aldo approached his father, saying goodbye while kissing his hands.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Dad."

"Wa alaikum salam. It's fine there yeah ...."

"Beres, Dad." she replied as she passed away.

Before long the sound of cars leaving their homes. Along with Halimah entered, carrying a paper bag that had no idea what it contained. Maybe by umroh Zulfa and the kids.

At the orphanage ....

As soon as he arrived, Ridho immediately left for the orphanage with his wife. There they were welcomed by their only child, Rohmat. Undoubtedly happy Rohmat welcomed his parents, he invited Tia to meet as well.

"Ready to go home?"

"But I brought Tia's sister, Ma" said Grace expectantly.

"Tia's sister?"

He glanced at the sitting Mutia, as his feet toyed with the cat.

"In the meantime, what's the beginning of the story?"

"Grace has long been lonely, at home alone continues." he whined. Make papa Ridho smile meaningfully. If Gini's proposal of Grace might be more workable, mama Redha's inner whispered.

"Is this Tia's name?" redha asked her son.

Grace nodded. Then he nudged Tia's arm. Anybody understands. Then approached his mother's father Grace.

"Tia, auntie" said Tia while greeting mama Redha and papa Ridho.

"You want to come with us, son?"

With a dimpled smile on her cheek, she replied firmly, "Want aunty, as long as Tia is reunited with Mother Zulfa. "

"Hus, don't call aunty, call mama." Grace whispered in Tia's ear. Just make Redha and Ridho smile.

"Yes, just call papa mama, not aunty. Follow your sister's advice, Tia." said Ridho

"Can?" Ridho.

"Alhamdulillah ... Now Tia has papa mama, like Rahmad's sister." said Tia happily.

While Redha was still busy thinking, with Tia's words just now.

"Mother Zulfa ...." Redha becomes Xingan Zulfa, her roommate at umroh time. But he's still confused. Is Zulfa what he means, or is Zulfa the other. If the Zulfa in question is that one, it is impossible. He's rich, what's it to put his son in an orphanage. And besides Zulfa only had 2 children. The yesterday umrah too. But if you look at her face, like Lika .... Don't know.

"Where is the house?"

Tia's face immediately looked sad, and it seemed. Grace approached him immediately. Whisper something so that her mother does not continue her question.

"Already, don't you think about my mother's question. Let's go home now, to my mom's house. Wanna?" Tia nodded happily.

Ridho immediately responded, he approached Ridwan. To find out, how did Pearl get to this orphanage.

"That's how it is, Bang" said Ridwan ending his story.

"Oh ... Yes it is," said Ridho nodding.

"Ridwan, I'll take Tia first. Moga in my house."

"Yes, Brother. May his parents meet soon."

Along the way Redha kept thinking about Zulfa. Even he was unconscious, when Ridho turned their car into a clothing store.

"Ma, it's here" said Ridho, breaking Redha's daydream. But apparently, Redha had not responded as well.

"Ma, he said he wanted to buy Tia some clothes. Let's go down."

"Eh yes, Pa." she answered nervously. Redha then comes down. Followed by Tia and Mercy. Together they entered the pretty magnificent clothing store.

In the midst of choosing clothes, he tried to pry a description from Tia, who Zulfa meant.

"Tia, yesterday mama met with mother Zulfa, but mama still hesitated. Whether or not Mother Zulfa meant that, aunt or not."

"Did you meet Mother Zulfa?"

Redha took out her hp. And showed them the slides of their photos, with Lika as well.

Tia's face was instantly delighted.

"That's Zulfa's mother, Ma.....
