A LIFETIME BEHIND THE BARS OF PRISON
episode 24
Halimah and Randi are stunned to see Arya with her jealousy, Arya stands at the door with a jealous face that can not be hidden. Randi got up from his seat and approached Arya.
“Arya, you should enter first and sit down,” said Randi standing beside Arya.
Halimah remained silent, no words came out of her mouth. Arya obeyed Randi, and they finally sat down.
“I'm here to solve a case that Mother, Arya.” experienced Randi tried to explain.
“Case? What else is going on?” Arya was surprised to look at Randi.
Randi explained about the theft of my home certificate, especially the suspect is the sister and wife of Halimah's father.
“I'm sorry Halimah, Randi. I don't know the truth, I'm too jealous.” Arya spoke looking at Halimah and Randi alternately, the face of regret was very drawn from the look on her face.
“I understand your jealousy, Friend. If I am in your position must behave similarly,” replied Randi with his adult attitude.
“Alright, I'd better get back to work. Take care and keep Halimah if you want to be her companion, I am happy if you are also happy, if there is anything contact me, Friend.” Randi stood up and walked to the door.
“Kak Randi.” Suddenly Halimah stopped her steps.
Randi turned his head around to look at Halimah.
“Iya Halimah,” replied Randi.
“Thanks once again.” Halimah looked at Randi, this was the second time Halimah looked at a man other than Arya and then to say thank you.
“Sama-sama, besides it is also my duty to help solve this case, Halimah. Greetings to Mommy.”
Randi immediately left my house, Halimah just fell silent staring at the departure of Randi with a feeling of a little guilt for rejecting his proposal.
In the guest room Halimah was only silent, meanwhile Arya looked at him deeply even though Halimah did not return her gaze.
“Please forgive me Halimah.” Arya started to open the conversation.
“I've forgiven Brother Arya, but ..” Halimah fell silent and did not continue her words.
“But why?” Arya asked curiously.
“You what Brother is here?” ask Halimah slowly.
“You're my fiance, it's natural that I visit you, Halimah.”
Halimah was stunned to look at Arya, why did she not offend the matter of her mother breaking off this engagement next to the party?
Not long after, I was in the guest room after finishing talking on the phone with Ms. Arun, until in the guest room I was surprised Arya was sitting there and there was no Randi.
“Nak Arya.” I greeted him and sat down next to Halimah.
“Munda.” Arya immediately greeted me and sat back down.
“Only Nak Arya?” I asked again.
“Iya Mother. Sorry if I didn't know about your home certificate theft case, I was busy out of town completing the project.” Arya explained.
“It's okay, Aryan boy. Fortunately there was Randi who helped us.”
“I was misunderstood by Randi, sorry I was jealous Halimah.”
Halimah remained silent and did not answer, I understood her attitude like that, she did not want to start talking about her mother breaking off this engagement.
“How's Mom Nak Arya?” I tried to offend his mother.
“Alhamdulillah well, Mommy.” Arya still hasn't touched on the issue of her mother breaking off this engagement. Seeing Aryan's reaction, Halimah immediately rose to her feet.
“Sister Arya, you better not come here again, I don't want to offend Mother Sister.” Halimah went straight inside.
“Wait Halimah!” Arya tried to stop him, but Halimah still staunchly went inside.
“Mother, what is this?” arya asked astonished to hear Halimah's words.
“Indeed Nak Arya does not talk about this fiancee problem bleached via SMS?” I asked back.
“Fiance's breakup? Who decides Mother?”
“No way Mother, I don't want to, I want to keep marrying Halimah.” Arya was surprised and did not expect her mother to do that, she was stunned and momentarily speechless.
“Talk about this issue first with Ibu Nak Arya.” That's all I can say seeing the reaction of his face being silent.
“Iya, I will definitely talk about all this, I was directly here from outside the area, we have not had time to talk.” Arya looks disappointed to hear my statement, maybe she has been waiting for Halimah's answer for a long time, when she felt very happy after being accepted and engaged, her mother decided unilaterally.
“May I speak with Halimah, Mommy?” Arya asked me for permission, and I nodded my head in response.
I stepped inside, in her room Halimah sat quietly in bed, she hugged the Qur’an like wanting to read it, but her gaze was far ahead.
“Halimah, Arya wants to talk to you.” I approached and sat down beside him.
“There's nothing to talk about anymore, Mother. Everything is clear,” replied Halimah with a disappointed face.
“Every problem would be nice to talk about, silence without solutions will only make bad suspect, Nak.”
Hearing my words, Halimah immediately got up and approached Arya in the living room, where they sat in the chair opposite, but before Halimah brought warm tea and placed it on the front desk of Arya.
“Please drink, Brother.” Halimah said to Arya.
“Imsimply Halimah,” replied Arya looking at him deeply.
“I'm sorry Halimah, I don't know what really happened, I just finished my project from outside the area, I pursued the target so that the marriage time will not be interrupted.” Arya explained with a gaze of love to Halimah, meanwhile Halimah just stared at him for a while and immediately lowered her face.
“Kak, if Mother Sister does not approve of me being the wife of Brother Arya, I cannot marry Brother without her blessing.”
Halimah's words stunned Arya, I don't know what she thought, but it seems she did not want it to happen, her love for Halimah is huge.
“I see, I hope it doesn't happen, I want you to remain my wife, Halimah.”
After saying Arya left my house, of course after asking permission to leave. I saw Halimah just standing still and continuing her work in the kitchen. Maybe after Arya meets us again, everything will be clear why her mother broke off this engagement on the side.
It was late at night, my daughters had fallen asleep, except for Halimah, she read the Qur’an in the living room, it seemed like that was the way my daughter calmed her heart in the face of world problems. Alhamdulillahot.
***
This morning after taking Rani and Anisa to school, I opened a stall, Halimah in the kitchen cooking. The atmosphere of the front of my house is a little crowded, there are buyers who take turns to stop by to buy daily necessities, Alhamdulillah I am still given sustenance today to sell.
Not long after, the car entered my yard, and after that I saw Arya and her mother get out of the car approaching me in the stall.
“Assalamu’alaikum, Bu.” Said Arya's mother and we shook hands.
“Wa’alaikumsalam Bu,” I replied to them, “Let's in, Mom, Nak Arya.” I let them in and sit in the living room.
Halimah placed her drinks and brownies on the table, and after that she kissed Aryan's mother's hand, Aryan's mother was stunned to see Halimah, no matter what was on her mind. Halimah sat beside me.
“I'm sorry Mom, Halimah. Arya has explained everything, it's my fault not to ask first and immediately make a decision.” Arya's mother tried to explain.
“What happened exactly, Mom?” I'm very curious why I broke off the engagement on the other side.
“This is the reason, Bu.” Arya's mother thrust an envelope at me, and I opened it immediately.
“Astagfirullah’alazimm.” I massaged my chest.
Halimah immediately took the ampolp and went to see the contents, and after that she was stunned and lowered her face, silent a thousand languages with a clear grain on her cheek.
“This is what I fear, this man is trying to destroy my daughter's good name.” I wiped the tears holding back the tears.
“When I opened the door, this envelope was already on the front porch floor of the door, I was very surprised to see photos of Halima wearing only underwear, which is why I broke off this engagement, I thought Halimah ..” Arya's mother did not continue her words.
“My son was kidnapped, Mom.” Those are the only words that come out of my mouth.
“Arya has told me everything, including the evil Mother Monik. Forgive my decision at that time in sms, Bu.”
I smile at the words of Aryan Mother, Randi is right, Aryan family is very good and does not look at status, Alhamdulillah .. Halimah and Arya next month so married.
