Love In Pesantren's

In my eyes you are still a child

Hulliyah still normalized the condition of his body that felt exhausted despite having rested. Hulliyah was still sitting on the bed, her eyes watching the mother who was seen cleaning the Hulliyah clothes she brought from Pesantren.

"Udah ma'am, just keep it! I'll settle it myself." Hulliyah tried to ban her mother.

"Saw this. Oh yes just now Nak Haqi called, nanyain you've been up to what not."

"Bodo Ah ...." Hulliyah was disappointed at Haqi who did not contact her and instead contacted someone else.

"Eh why? His face was bent." asked the mother.

Hulliyah shook her head then left the room leaving the mother who was still busy cleaning her clothes.

--------------------

Hulliyah's house is now starting to decorate itself, beautified as a sign of a big event in the house. Neighbors, especially mothers, come and go to each other to connect (the term in Sundanese is the habit of giving food or something to neighbors who will carry out a party).

Among the neighbors, Beni's mother was also present.

"Hopefully this time the marriage is smooth, the most important thing is that the groom does not run away again."

A good but piercing Do'a sounded in Hulliyah's ear which incidentally had an extraordinary sensitivity to feel the pain of the heart.

Although Hulliyah actually had that fear, now Hulliyah had high hopes for Haqi.

Ah but now just contact no, can Hulliyah believe in Haqi?

Hulliyah pensive himself after the return of the neighbors, the words that are true are now mixed and twisted into the head of the Hulliyah.

"The bride was daydreaming," the mother's voice made Hulliyah blink.

The mother sat herself beside Hulliyah, the mother fixing Hulliyah's almost formless veil.

"Think what?" ask mother.

Hulliyah looked down lethargic.

"I'm afraid Ma'am" replied Hulliyah.

The mother smiled then held the palm of her son, stroking him affectionately.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, there's Mom Son. Mom is always by your side. You are not alone, after all, Nak Haqi is not Beni. Trust me, Mother."

Hulliyah looked at her mother, her eyes immediately giving her warmth. Hulliyah felt calm after hearing her mother's words. Hulliyah seemed to feel trauma ahead of her happy day.

Is Haqi really different from Beni?

What a difficult question to answer and keep circling in the mind of Hulliyah.

"Now do not daydream again! We'll be ready for the afternoon of study."

The mother reminded that later in the afternoon there will be a lecture to pray for the smooth running of the wedding.

Hulliyah nodded his head, although the fear was still there but Hulliyah could now only submit to the Creator.

---------------------------

In the afternoon the recitation was held, the neighbors who were invited also present to give do'a.

The Hulliyah chanted the holy verse of the Qur'an during the event. The study went very fervently and shahdu.

The time came, Hulliyah apologized to his parents. Hulliyah sat under her father and mother. Hulliyah looked at the face of the father who was still silent expressionless.

Hulliyah grabbed his father's hand and kissed him as a sign of respect.

Hulliyah cried in her father's lap apologizing for ignoring him the past few weeks.

"I'm sorry Lia, Dad .. forgive," said Hulliyah lirih.

The father felt a very strong haru, then woke Hulliyah and hugged her dearly.

"No Lia, Dad's son. Father who should bow down to you, father is too selfish and does not appreciate your feelings. I'm too afraid you're suffering, I don't realize it's me who's making you suffer."

The father brought out the thing he had been harboring all this time. Hulliyah shook her head then said, "no, well, I'm wrong."

The interaction created between Hulliyah and her father made the atmosphere surrounded by novelty.

"Blessed with Haqi, I bless Nak. There is no father who does not want to see his son happy, neither does Father. Now I'm sure Haqi is best for you."

Hulliyah then turned to her mother and apologized for her mistake again.

In the past when he was going to marry Beni, Hulliyah also did the same thing but this time it was very different, the newness created was different. Hulliyah hoped everything would go smoothly in time.

---------------------

Elsewhere, Haqi, who had just arrived at his home after returning from Palembang, went into his room to rest. Haqi came with her extended family, sister with her husband, father and mother, then other relatives also joined.

This left his small house full.

Haqi went into the room avoiding the noise of his nephew. Haqi received a video message from his younger brother Hulliyah.

Haqi sat himself on his bed and opened the video.

Haqi saw there Hulliyah chanting the holy verse until Hulliyah who cried with his father and mother.

Haqi smiled a happy smile at her.

"Good job sweet boy."

Haqi said spontaneously looking at the video. Haqi was happy because now Hulliyah and her father had forgiven each other.

"Qi .. eat first!" the mother's screams meant Haqi had to end the video. Haqi came out of the room and approached his extended family who had started gathering to eat.

"Sorry so noisy Qi."

One of his brothers felt bad about the behavior of the children who participated in Haqi's house.

"I'm cool, usually I'm alone daydreaming about my work."

"Take it easy tomorrow-tomorrow kak mah nemenin, acie ...." The sister chimed in with jokes.

"Silence you little boy!" Haqi threw a pinch of rice towards his sister.

"Dih .. dih, I'm not a child anymore Brother! Look at my stomach already bloated, already can make children." His sister Haqi showed off her stomach which was already enlarged due to being pregnant.

But for Haqi, his sister was still a small child and never grew up even though now in fact his little sister will soon have children.

"In Brother's eyes, you still don't know."

Again Haqi threw a pinch of rice at his sister.

"Ummi, you're wasting food." His sister complained to Salamah.

"You're the same, eat fast!"

The commandment from Bu Salamah is like the command of a general that cannot be denied.

They ended up eating without debate, although occasionally Haqi and his sister threw each other cynical tarapan because they felt the war between them was not finished.

After eating, Haqi returned to his room to continue his activities that had paused. Haqi played back the video and wiped it when the screen revealed Hulliyah's face very clearly.

Haqi looked at his wife's face with admiration, *make up natura*l worn by Hulliyah made her look fresh to the eye.

"Oh this is the bride?"

The younger brother made Haqi tiptoe how not, unbeknownst to Haqi his younger brother was already sitting right beside him.

"When did you come in?" tanyakanya.

The sister did not reply, she instead grabbed the sister's phone and noticed her brother-in-law on the screen..
