Fateena, who was initially quiet, with her life after marriage slowly becoming a cheerful, gregarious person. After having time to accompany Juwita harvesting vegetables in her garden at that time, on this holiday Juwita made an appointment with Fateena again, this time they will pick watermelon fruit.
At night Syailendra tells a little about Arjuna and Salwa's relationship. Fateena remembered Salwa who was almost the same as her first self, withdrawing from others first to the neighbors around. As a result, Salwa's daily life is more at home, apart from the activity back and forth from home and hospital when Anton was still in hospital.
"Mas, can I go to Juwita's house today? he asked me to pick a watermelon." asked Fateena that morning.
"Can. Do I want to be with you?." Syailendra asked back as he pulled up the chair, preparing to enjoy their breakfast.
Before answering Syailendra's question, Fateena took a seat first. Now they're sitting opposite"Hemmm, I intend to take Salwa there. I think he's so lonely, he's just spending time with his family."
"If Salwa wants to, I feel safe together."
Syailendra's reply made Fateena smile. She was happy to have such an understanding husband as this Syailendra. After breakfast and deliver Syailendra up to the car, while holding the cheek that was in the kiss of the husband Fateena grabbed the phone in his negligent pocket. Yes, when at home Fateena more comfortable wearing negligee only.
As she stepped in, Fateena waited for an answer on the other end of the phone, she pulled the strap on her head until the cloth covering her face slipped off. Fateena looked at the blushing face in front of the mirror, her own face"So this is how it feels to be in love, she kissed behind the veil but my face turned red like this" muttered alone.
"Assalamualaikum" Salwa's greeting on the other end of the phone surprised her, she was still washed away with a small touch of her husband this morning.
"Waalaikumsalam" he said. Here Fateena asks Salwa first. He also asked Anton.
"Alhamdulillah, I've been better. He started working in the garden."
"Alhamdulillah" there was a sense of relief at the news. Then Fateena took Salwa to Juwita's residence.
"Go" whispered Nur, when Salwa just finished washing the dishes. Fateena calls on the loud speaker so you can hear their chat.
"Can?."
"Of course I can" Nur said. He was actually happy because someone invited Salwa to be friends. Salwa used to be a cheerful girl, a girl who had many friends. But after marrying Randy, the relationship with friends becomes broken. Too much organizing even often forbids Salwa to gather with them, making them build a distance with Salwa. One by one his friends disappeared, until finally Salwa no longer had close friends.
Permission from Nur, also from Anton, delivered Salwa with Fateena to visit Juwita's residence. Juwita welcomed their arrival with joy, she was happy to make new friends again.
"Take him to Ustadz Wahab's residence. After that you return to the office" of course this is known Arjuna.
"Ready Master" said Pram.
Not only those in the watermelon garden, the working mothers there are also present to harvest watermelon. At first Salwa was afraid to join, some of the workers there were neighbors.
"Why?."
"They're my neighbors" pointed to a small group of working mothers.
"Lho, why?. That means you know each other. It's not awkward to join."
Salwa shook her head quickly"Hemmm" This woman seemed hesitant to speak.
Remembering the sanctions of the people who had hit him, Fateena realized the fear of Salwa. He understood, Salwa did not want to be the subject of gossip this morning.
Juwita asks about Salwa who looks uncomfortable. Fateena told me from beginning to end.
"Picking all the fruits here is their duty. We'll just pick my own private garden. At the end of there, near the fish pond. Come on" take Juwita.
"Oh I guess we'll pick fruit here."
Moaning slowly"No. Fruits are here to sell. While there we will divide the three" Juwita's big smile rubbed on Fateena. He held onto Salwa's shoulder until she laughed as well.
"Yes, can I sell some of it?. Eating too much watermelon can make me go back and forth to the restroom" looks calmer, Salwa also started joking.
Juwita chuckles"That's it." The three women finally laughed. Time continues to go on, it does not feel soon when Dzuhur arrives. Unexpectedly, while they were waiting for Pram's invitation, which came Syailendra and Arjuna.
The deg!! Salwa felt a thump in her chest. Nodding at a glance upon meeting, Arjuna asked Wahab to Juwita.
"Still fretting, usually come home at two in the afternoon."
"Titip salam ya" Enda spoke.
"Yes, I'll tell you later. Hey Moms, don't forget your fruits" Juwita reminded as they were about to shake hands, wanting to part themselves.
"Fruits?. I thought you'd enjoy it here."
"We are happy to enjoy it. Because it's too much so you have to take it home. It's got Fateena, and it's got Salwa" pointing one by one sack filled with fruit. Not only watermelon fruit, other fruits are also included in the sack.
"Pay no??. These are good fruits" whispered Enda to Fateena.
"No. He does not want to be paid. He said it's pay because we're accompanying him to harvest today."
Raise next to his brow"Oho! so on holiday my wife took a whole lot of people's crops, for a sack of fruit."
Fateena chuckled"Mas!! don't taunt me!."
Juwita laughed, this husband and wife babble sounds funny to them.
"This one has Salwa?. Thank you mom Juwita, hopefully her efforts are more blessed" impressed stiff when taking the fruit owned by Salwa. Arjuna also called Juwita as Mother, usually she called Kak Juwita.
"Amiinu. Heh, very awkward" whispered Juwita as Arjuna ducked to lift the fruit sack.
"Don't talk about it" Arjuna whispered back.
"Oho! are you ashamed that Salwa is here?" not Juwita's name if not tempting Arjuna.
"Come brother, don't lure Bang Enda to tease me in front of Salwa."
Juwita held back a laugh. He also gave a lip when Arjuna rushed to bring Salwa's hand into the car.
Enda pointed at Arjuna with her chin, and Juwita laughed without a sound. They are compact to laugh at two people who have not been bound by this sacred promise. Before getting into the car Fateena pinched slowly Enda's stomach"Don't be on the ledek now!!. Salwa will take the same path as me."
"Xixixi, yes dear" said Enda almost dipped.
The last Salwa got into the car, there were many words of thanks to Juwita. While enjoying the fruit of their harvest, Salwa poured out his heart to Fateena and Juwita. The burden in the heart that had been long hidden, had been poured out today in front of Juwita and Fateena. The two women gave a lot of advice and encouragement to Salwa. Once doubted Arjuna, now Salwa again convinced after Juwita revealed the assessment of Arjuna. Similarly, Fateena, although not too familiar with Arjuna, at least he has known Arjuna since he attended school in the boarding school.
"He is good at playing hadroh, his man when chanting sholawat is very melodious. He was one of the best vocalists in the cottage at the time. Insa Allah he is a good man, and can guide you Salwa" said Fateena.
