...Keep stepping forward. Because there is still hope that needs to be realized...
...☘️...
Dusk began to greet the capital, orange red also began to be seen in the distance there. Maybe soon magrib's time will also arrive.
Khadijah himself felt tired, honest since from the previous Aksara office, Khadijah just continued to step his feet on the sidewalk, under the hot sun. Because before all that Khadijah brought disgrace was taken by the man who snatched his.
It did not take long Aksara had entered the gate of his house, from a distance looked Bu Gita and Pak Lukman was welcoming them.
Panic was clearly visible on the faces of the two, because since this morning they had not seen Khadijah's whereabouts, while the last time his son asked Khadija to them.
"Wedded"
Seeing Khadijah just got out of the Aksara car, Bu Gita just ran over and hugged his son-in-law.
"Aren't you papa ?"
The corner of Khadijah's lips was lifted up, realizing the warmth of the heart to get the treatment and love that Khadijah dreamed of from his mother-in-law.
"Alhamdulillah Ma's. Colored is fine"
Not believing it, Bu Gita then examined the clothes in his daughter-in-law, to be honest he was so worried about her, in case something happened with Khadijah out there.
"Yes, you've entered the gih" asked Bu Gita to her daughter-in-law and child.
Seeing the mama who was so worried about Khadijah, Aksara chose to push her papa wheelchair.
***
Upon arrival at home Khadijah immediately carried out three of his duties, considering the magrib time is not long.
Only after the affair with the obligation was completed did Khadijah rush to clean himself up.
Still with a towel wrapped around his head, Khadija found the door of his room knocked from out there.
Quickly Khadija put back on her hijab, not until Khadijah managed to wear her veil, I don't know who but suddenly her room door opened.
"Wedded"
As expected Khadijah, if his mother-in-law was the one who opened the door of his room.
"I'm sorry mom opened, you're long" said Ms. Gita. Khadija smiled as well.
"No papa ma, sorry that you were still in the bathroom"
Khadijah felt sorry for the second time as if Khadija ignored her mother-in-law, although Bu Gita did not consider it so.
"Yes already. We have dinner together, yes, you are ready" said Bu Gita.
With a smile on his face, Khadija did not forget to nod his head.
"Good ma"
Ohya Sejah, you really don't papa right ?"
Her mother-in-law was still worried about her.
"So Aksa was confused about you, she called my mom saying you were missing"
The corner of Khadijah's lips was lifted, hearing the story of his mother-in-law, to be honest he felt happy, because in fact Aksara worried about him.
"Alhamdulillah Ma, Sejah is fine" replied Khadijah with a smile on his face.
Honestly Khadija was happy because her mother-in-law always paid attention to her, even Khadijah found another figure of her mother in her mother-in-law.
The hope of Khadijah is not only his mother-in-law, but Aksara can also accept him, although it still feels very difficult to tear down the heart and ego of her husband.
But Khadijah believed if nothing was impossible if the power of prayer had spoken.
***
After the departure of her mother-in-law, Khadijah immediately got ready to change her clothes and also the hijab she was wearing.
At first glance Khadijah's gaze was fixed on some paperbags that were still on the sofa of his room.
Khadijah then grabbed one of them, and rightly his guess, sky blue colored gown with matching colored hijab, became Khadijah's choice.
After he was done with all of it, Khadija rushed out. Walking towards the dining room, Khadijah found only three people there.
'Where is Mas Aksa?' khadijah asked.
'Maybe it's still in his room' thought Khadijah.
"Wedded ?"
The voice of Bu Gita airs when he sees the arrival of Khadijah who just.
Bu Gita then waved his hand, and asked the son-in-law to sit next to him.
"Aksa's mom hasn't come down yet ?"
Although feeling awkward, but Khadijah ventured to ask the whereabouts of the husband.
"Aksa said he wanted to go out, there was a sudden meeting" Bu Gita told Khadijah.
Khadijah then nodded his head. While Dirga who was also there seemed uncomfortable with Khadija who asked her sister.
Not to dislike, just that Dirga still not fully able to accept.
Khadijah himself knew if there was a change in the face of his sister-in-law when he asked Aksara, but it was better, at least Dirga would no longer wish on Khadijah.
The dinner was over, one by one the people in the dining room had left their respective tables.
Khadijah chose to stop for a moment.
"Mbok Well ?"
Call Khadijah on the sidelines Mbok Nah tidying the dining table before her.
"Yes Mba "
"Mas Aksa does go out a lot of nights huh ?"
Honestly, Khadija was so curious, because often she found the husband out or came home late at night.
For a moment Mbok Nah stopped his activities.
"It wasn't like this before, Mba. Mas Aksa has changed a lot since--"
Mbok well seemed hesitant to say.
"Since at his lover's residence?"
Seeing the change in the face of Mbok Nah rather Khadijah understand where the direction of the assistant talk at his mother-in-law's house.
And it is true that the nod of the head was the answer to well mbok on Khadijah's guess.
Mbok Nah then tells if, in the past the character of a very warm person, even though living in a pool of treasure does not necessarily make the personality of the character change so much.
But all that changes, at a time when her parents' efforts are threatened with bankruptcy, a very beloved woman suddenly abandons and chooses another more established man.
At the same time, Mr. Lukman had an accident, to make Mr. Lukman paralyzed, and must be in a wheelchair until now.
Since then Aksara is also trusted to manage all family businesses, and began to grow rapidly to what is today.
"Mas Aksa was always busy himself in the Mba office"
"If the workers say here, Aksa is trying to comfort himself from the woman who has hurt him"
Khadijah then nodded his head, realizing how special the woman who once filled the heart of her husband.
If it is not special in the heart Aksara is impossible until now Aksara has not been able to forget it.
"She's beautiful, huh mbok ?"
The question just came out of Khadijah's mouth, the curiosity in his heart just appeared.
