Finding a New Home

In a quiet hospital, the atmosphere of the room was filled with the noise of beating medical machines and the frenzy of patients undergoing treatment. Alifa, a young woman struggling with her illness, spent her day sitting on her cold bed, with a lethargic and distrustful expression. After experiencing many disappointments in past romantic relationships, her heart becomes stiff and hesitant to open up to others.

Suddenly, the door of the room opened slowly, and Alim, a man with a firm and firm look, appeared in the doorway. Alfie was surprised to see it. Alim is someone who often makes him upset with his attitude that is sometimes careless and thoughtless. This time, however, Alfie felt different. There was something in Alim's expression that was different from before, Alifa felt a warmth and sincerity emanating from her.

"He came to see me? Why would he take his time for me?" alifa's mind while trying to control the turmoil of her mixed feelings.

Alim approached Alifa's bed carefully, avoiding interfering with the infusion tube and the medical wires wrapped around her body. He smiled gently, trying to calm the nervous looking Alifa.

"Alifa, I know your past relationship made you suffer. I promise that I am different. I want to prove to you that there are men who can make you happy and comfortable" Alim said in a soft and sincere voice.

Alifa was silent for a moment, looking at Alim's serious-looking and hopeful face. His heart was pounding, still hesitating to give his trust. The trauma of the past scared him to get hurt again. However, he was also curious about Alim's good intentions.

A few days later, Alim went back to see Alifa. This time, he brought Alifa's favorite book and read it in a soft voice beside the bed. Alifa listened to the words that came from the lips of Alim with a heart of flowers. Alim seemed to really care and tried to comfort Alifa in the difficult moments.

Over time, Alifa felt her heart begin to melt. The courage and sincerity of Alim arouses new hope in him. Although still hesitant and afraid of getting hurt again, Alifa began to open her heart slowly to give Alim a chance.

Week after week passed, Alim continued to be present at Alifa's side, providing support and cheerfulness. He brought fresh flowers, chatted cheerfully, and kept looking for ways to make Alifa smile. Every day, Alifa became convinced that Alim was a different person, a person capable of melting her frozen heart.

One day, when Alifa felt strong enough to get out of the hospital, Alim took her for a walk in the nearby park. Doubtful but hopeful, Alifa accepted the invitation. They walked together, breathed fresh air, and shared a laugh. Alifa felt happy and happy, as if the burden that had been carried was slowly released.

Over time, Alifa realized that Alim was a patient and understanding man, someone who was willing to fight to get his heart. Past traumas begin to fade with the presence of the faithful Alim. Slowly, they build a strong bond and trust each other.

In the midst of their journey, Alifa felt she had found her true love. A love that brings warmth, trust, and happiness to her life. The two of them went through a difficult time together, strengthening and supporting each other.

The hospital, which was previously bleak and cold, is now a witness to the extraordinary journey of love between Alifa and Alim. Although past trauma once crippled her heart, Alifa eventually learned to trust again and gave her heart to someone who deserved it. Alifa did not love Alim, but she felt that Alim deserved the opportunity to convince her in their relationship.

Once, Alim decided to introduce Alifa to his family. They gathered in a warm living room, adorned with smiles and excitement. Alifa felt a tension within her, worried by the reaction of the Alim family to her presence.

Alim's family received Alifa with open arms. His mother Alim smiled softly and gave warm greetings, and her brothers greeted him kindly. They asked Alifa about her situation with attention, were interested in what she was doing, and listened to her story with enthusiasm. Alifa felt like she had a new family that warmed her up with love and care.

His father Alim was not there because Alim's parents had been divorced for a long time. Until his mother married again and had three children from her second husband. However, unfortunately—the second marriage of his mother Alim was foundered. Alifa did not know for sure what the cause was, because he did not want to interfere too much with the problems in the Alim family, unless asked.

Alim's mother asked, "Why does Alifa want to be with Alim? Though Alim is sometimes strange, stubborn, and his life is also sometimes unclear."

Alifa replied with a smile, "Alifa also does not know, Auntie, why can accept Alim. Clearly, Alifa wanted to try to establish a relationship with Alim, giving him the opportunity to accompany the days of Alifa."

"Don't call aunty dong, Alifa," asked his mother Alim.

"What do you want to call it, Tea?" sahut youngest sister mama Alim. "Mother?" continued.

Everyone laughs.

"Yes, call mama, dong!" firmly a middle-aged woman who is the same age as Alifa's older cousin.

Alifa was shocked to hear that statement. He was moved, in his heart saying, "Why did Khaleed never introduce me to his family, huh? While Alim, just the beginning of a relationship, has been introduced to his extended family."

The longer Alifa was there, the more comfortable it felt. Dinner with the Alim family became a special moment full of laughter and cheer. They share stories, laugh at each other's jokes, and support each other in kindness. Alifa could not hide her gratitude and happiness, feeling like she had found a true place.

In that moment, Alifa realized how brave Alim had changed her life. By opening the door of his heart and introducing him to his family, Alim has given him the strength to be his true self. Alifa felt appreciated, loved, and accepted for who she was.

When the night was over, Alifa came home with a warm feeling in her chest. He knew that he had found a true new home in the family of Alim. Alim's courage to introduce him to the most important people in his life has changed everything. Alifa felt lucky and ready to face the future with her newfound confidence and courage.
