Today, Sarmi and Mila, along with the families of Halim, are busy with cooking events to hold a three-day lecture of their late mother.

They work seriously to prepare everything. Likewise, the men, they also work to help the work of the wife so that their work is quickly completed.

After everything was done, Sarmi prepared lunch for them. The atmosphere is crowded in the residence of Halim's house, very much awaited by Sarmi. But unfortunately, they gathered to hold a three-day study of the mother. As for Sarmi's dream, all his family could gather like this a long time ago. Although it was only once a week, but unfortunately it never materialized.

After each of them married and had their own home, they seemed to have forgotten the existence of brothers. To gather reluctantly, if Edi, Sarmi can still understand, he and his family do not live in the village. He also chose to stay in the garden with his mother.

After lunch. Sarmi and her sister-in-law collected and washed all the dirty dishes. After that, they cleaned the kitchen. Then, they rest.

They were all gathered in the courtyard of Halim's house in the tent. They sat on the floor with several layers of mats. They were joking with laughter along with some people who had already come to visit. That's where later the study will be in the title, because Halim's house, is not large to accommodate guests later.

The night we were waiting for arrived. The men and children who will teach have filled the tent. Mothers gather in houses whose doors are open.

The study is also ongoing. After the recitation, the priest began to read the prayer. And at that time, Sarmi and her sister and sister-in-law, as well as her brother-in-law from the husband began to prepare food for mothers and fathers and children who teach.

So long the prayer offered by the imam of the mosque. Now he reads the congratulations prayer.

”...Rabbanaa aatinaa fiddunyaa hasanataw wafil aakhirati hasanataw waqinaa 'adzaabannar. wal hamdulillahi robbal 'aalamiin. Aamiin.” pak imam ends his prayer.

”Aamiin.” say to everyone present.

The eating event is also underway. They eat quietly, enjoying their meals. After eating. Slowly the guests of the fathers and mothers began to say goodbye home. While the children who teach them are still loyal in their place. Because the imam of the mosque is still sitting in his place.

The priest still invited Halim and his brother to talk. For a long time, they talked, the priest resigned.

Halim and the others shook hands with the priest, and thanked him. Halim handed out envelopes to the children who taught her. Although there was only a small amount of the contents of the envelope, the most important thing was Halim's sincere intention for them.

After they came home. Halim was helped with his brother, opening the tent. Tidying back up as before. And their children have fallen asleep. When mothers go home, they put up their mats and sleep. While Sarmi and the others were washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen.

After it was over because they were tired, they immediately rested. They're fast asleep.

.. ..

Denis is very upset, because tonight he promised Samnia to meet at the Club. However, he canceled the meeting with his lover, just because the glassware sent Halim for his new sale had come. So, he was busy with dismantling Halim goods. He kept the stuff in Anton's warehouse. After Halim comes, he will dismantle and arrange it in the new store that Halim bought before returning to the village.

”It's all for the sake of, Brother. If it wasn't for Brother's sake, I'd rather meet my lover.” grumbled Denis.

With time, Samnia begins to open her heart to Denis. He begins to accept the fact that Denis is his lover.

Luckily Halim opened a money account. Denis taught Halim how to transfer money from an account to an account through a hand-held mobile phone. So, Halim easily transferred the money to Albert's account. To pay interest on his loan. So as not to charge Denis, to be searched by loan sharks from Albert's emissary.

Time keeps passing. Days change, months change. Mulfa was tired of being in the cell.

”Kakak, we've been here for months, when we can't get out of here as soon as possible? As for the court, it is clear that we are innocent. We are just victims. Then, why are we still here?” mulfa said with a frown.

Halima smiled and patiently explained to her sister to be patient.

”Sabar Mulfa, in a few minutes we will go to court. This is the final hearing, the judgment of the judge. After this, we'll be out of here soon. So, you're patient.well.”

”Hum, alright kak.” said Mulfa limply. Make Halima mess up Mulfa's brown hair.

As long as I've been here, why hasn't Halim ever visited me, Dad? In fact, in the trial also he did not exist. Only Hamid comes to see me here sometimes. Where's Halim?

inner Halima.

”Brother Halima, let's go to court now.” says Halima's lawyer. Halima was provided with a special lawyer by Fahroni to accompany her in this case.

”Good Sir.” Halima said.

Halima and Mulfa along with lawyers and some police staff went to court. This time it was a decision from the judge. They had all gathered together, Elsa and Kevin were furious looking at Halima. Not only this meeting, but in the several meetings in attending the hearing, Kevin and Elsa looked at Halima unhappily. Halima was indifferent to them. The presiding judge began to read the verdict.

The atmosphere became violent instantly, after the chief judge and the prosecutors left the courtroom. After the judge found Elsa and Kevin guilty. He is officially a police prisoner and has to pay a fine.

”Fuck you Halima! You will receive the consequences of this, later!” threaten Kevin. He could do nothing but threaten Halima. Both of his hands were taken by police.

While Elsa had healed a wound on her calf, she stepped quickly towards Halima and slapped also pulling Halima's hair firmly.

”You, how dare to deceive us like this, Halima!” elsa said with great emphasis in every sentence that was thrown.

"Argh!” Halima whimpered in pain. Her hair was pulled by Elsa. ”Ka-kali yu-mu started first.” said Halima defended herself by stammering with pain in her head.

”It's also because of you, Halima! Remember, my son is suffering because of you!”

”I, I didn't do anything to Kevin. Argh!” refute Halima.

The police who started Halima and Elsa immediately approached and injured them. And forcefully pulled Elsa's body, leaving Halima.

”I will repay your treatment, once I am free from here, Halima! You just look!” threaten Elsa with a loud voice.

Mulfa hugged Halima in tears. ”Sister, I'm afraid sister. They threaten brother.”

Halima calmed Mulfa down by patting her back slowly. ”Sstststt, don't cry. They won't be able to do anything to us. Don't you be afraid!”

”But brother, they still have a guy ya_”

Halima held both of Mulfa's cheeks. Until they look at each other. ”Listen, nothing will happen to us, as long as they are in prison or after they get out of prison later. We are in legal protection. You didn't hear the Judge's words?”

”Yes, I heard. But kan_”

”Nothing but but, Mulfa. Believe the same brother, well.” said Halima reassured Mulfa.

Mulfa nodded. ”Iya kak.”

”Iya, Sir.” sahut them.

They returned to the police station to follow Fahroni. The other women, who were victims, were released. They were sent directly to their relatives.

"Sit Halima, Mulfa.” said Fahroni.

Halima and Mulfa sat in the front seat of Fahroni's desk. Fahroni was sitting on his bench. He was calling someone.

”Good day, brother Hamid.” greet Fahroni, after Hamid picked up his phone.

”Oh, good afternoon Mr Fahroni, how about Sir?" sahut Hamid over there.

”What is your free time? Come here, there is something we have to talk about.” said Fahroni.

”Sorry sir, this afternoon I can't. How about the night, I go there sir?” tawar Hamid's.

”Alright, I wait for you after Maghrib.” said Fahroni agreed.

”Good, Sir.” says Hamid.

The phone connection was cut off. Fahroni sees Mulfa and Halima alternating.

”You two, wait for brother Hamid to come to pick you up. For a while you guys stay here.” he said firmly.

”Good, Sir.” Halima said.

Halima and Mulfa waited quietly for Hamid at the police station. Now they are in the yard.

”Kak, who else is Hamid? Brother knows him? Why should we wait for him?” Mulfa asked in confusion and curiosity. ”We'll just go home now, brother. We go to Mulfa's house first, Mulfa grab some stuff there all Mulfa's savings, then we find a rental house for us to stay.”

”Hamid it, friend of Halim. Brother also does not know why we have to wait for him.” said Halima confusedly, ”We just wait for him to come and in that moment we will know what the reason Mr. Fahroni told us to wait for him. And as for your stuff that's in there, we don't have to take it. Let it. If we go there, we can be caught and held captive again with them. Especially for real, they are the men of Kevin.”

”Hum, okay. Though Mulfa's savings money is still five million loh, sak.” said Mulfa with a frown. ”Oh yeah, brother. By the way, that con man why was he never seen again from that night?” ask Mulfa again.

Halima smiled. ”Why? You miss that con man?” Halima asked back while pinching Mulfa's nose.

”Ah sister, what the hell. Who misses him?” elak Mulfa, ”People Mulfa just wonder, why he hasn't come here since that night. It should be right, he even came to see us and follow our case to completion, right?”

”Iya also, you have a point.” said Halima. He remembered Halim's words. That he only helped get her out of there after that he hands off. ”But there is no reason for Halim to come here and follow this case. He once told brother, he only helped brother out of sister's job, after which he would not interfere anymore.” continued Halima said. Halima smiled wryly.

”Oh, so it seems.” Halima nodded in response.

.. ..

On the other side.

Halim, along with his son and wife are getting ready to pack clothes. At dawn they will go to the port to sail to the city of A.

Halim takes care of the transfer of Fatma and Syakila schools. After three days the forty days of her father-in-law's event were over. After taking care of the transfer papers, Halim went to the port counter to buy a ticket.

”Papa, Mama will bring kitchen supplies and all this furniture too, well. Let it get there, we do not need to buy kitchen utensils and all household furniture anymore.” suggested Sarmi.

”Not to be a darling. Papa has bought household needs there, Mama just use it, all kitchen equipment, and furniture tools are complete.” explained Halim.

”What's so right, Papa?” Sarmi asked to make sure.

”Iya, darling. Papa has prepared everything, before Papa comes here to pick you all up.” explained Halim again. ”Mah, you better tell the kids to rest now, dawn later we have to wake up. Because dawn is a little while we're leaving.”

”Iya, Papa.” says Sarmi. He went out of the room and told his son to sleep. After that, he went back into the room. He and Halim rested. They sleep at their usual tempo, they don't want to wake up late tomorrow and miss the ship.

.. ..

According to Hamid. He is now in the police station. He went straight to Fahroni's desk. Hamid immediately greeted Roni who was staring at the laptop screen.

”Good night, Sir. Sorry for making you wait.”

”Good night, Hamid. No why. Let sit.” sahut Fahroni.

Fahroni told his employees to call Halima and Mulfa. Halima and Mulfa immediately came to Roni's room.

”Mulfa, Halima, please sit.” Roni said

Halima and Mulfa sat down. Fahroni began to explain the meaning of Hamid's presence on Halima and Mulfa.

”Halima, Mulfa, this is Hamid's brother. He was a friend of Halim. Before Halim left for the village, he sent a message to the two of you. After you get out of here, for a while you will stay with brother Hamid.”

Oh, it's appropriate that he didn't come to see me in the cell. Apparently, he went back to the village.

inner Halima.

”Good, Sir.” said Halima without rejection.

”Alright, mr Fahroni. I'm sorry, it's not that I'm not being polite but, I have to go home soon. My mother has been waiting for me at her house.” Hamid said.

”Oh yes, it's okay Hamid. I can understand.” Fahroni said. He looked at Halima and Mulfa. ”Halima, Mulfa, please take your clothes and come home with brother Hamid.”

”Good, Sir.” said Halima and Mulfa simultaneously. They immediately packed their little clothes. Then, they returned to Mr. Fahroni's room.

Hamid, say goodbye to Fahroni before he leaves. So also Halima and Mulfa they say thank you and at the same time say goodbye to Fahroni.

They also left the police station. Halima and Mulfa looked awkward near Hamid. Because Halima does not know Hamid very well, especially Mulfa.
