The Journey of Love Habibah..
The arrival of Qodir
The birthday party went smoothly and satisfactorily, there is a sense of satisfaction in the heart of Habibah can watch everything go smoothly. Seeing the smiles and laughter of the children there was enough to make him feel the warmth in his heart. Habibah and Dona help the host tidy up the place that has been used, ranging from decorations to tools used for buffets. All were cleaned, and some had been brought home by Dona just waiting for some more items that had not been brought home because there was still content.
" Well, where do the rest go? Can I have a new place to move the rest of this stuff?" habibah asked Purnomo.
" This is Auntie, I brought her the place.. " Little Nur suddenly interjected before Purnomo could answer a word.
" Smart kid.. Thank you dear.." Habibah received a place that little Nur gave by pinching one of his cheeks. The boy apparently liked the treatment shown by Habibah. Although he did not see what Habibah's face looked like, he liked the attitude shown to him. Maybe because she never got that sweet treatment from her mother.
Nur noticed everything Habibah did in his house, until Habibah finally finished all his work and prepared to leave. Nur suddenly hugged Habibah as if he did not want Habibah to go from before him.
" What's up, baby?" habibah asked gently while stroking his head.
" Aunty.. Can I come to Auntie's house..?" ask her with her bland face. Habibah could not answer, he tried to find the answer by looking at his father and his family who were there.
" maybe.. I'll pick you up before four in the afternoon.." Purnomo gave the answer.
" Yey.. Come on, Auntie, we're going to Auntie's..!" Nur drew Habibah's hand with great zeal.
" Wait a minute, baby.. Salim used to be with your father and others if you want to go out, you can't go so well."
" OK..!" Nur obeyed what Habibah said.
" Smart kid.. Come on..!" Take Habibah.
" We go first.. Assalamualaikum.." said Habibah say goodbye to everything.
" Wa'alaykumussalam.." answered Purnomo and the others in unison. Purnomo and Bu Sofia drove up to the terrace of his house. They smiled at the behavior of their little Nur who looked very happy with one of his hands holding Habibah's hand while the other hand holding Zain's small hand.
Arriving home, Habibah was surprised by someone sitting on the porch of his house, people who never wanted him to see and meet at all was now sitting there. Seeing Habibah coming, the man stood up. But he had not been able to say anything Habibah had shown his dislike.
" What are you doing here? I don't think I invited you to this house, so what business did you come here for?" habibah asked coldly, even the cold was very piercing in the heart. Moreover, Habibah did not look at him at all, it added awkwardness to the uninvited guest.
" I came here to see you and to talk to you. I want to see my son too.."
" dear.. You go in first yes, Auntie has a guest for a while." Habibah told Nur to signal that the boy took Zain with him into the house. While Habibah inevitably had to face the father of his son first.
" Now that you've met and talked to me have also seen the child that you acknowledged as your son, so can you leave now? I'm tired, I want to rest.." Habibah said all those words without looking at the person in question.
" Habibah.please, I need to talk to you about us.."
" About us..? What's that about? I don't think there's anything we need to talk about, because we don't have any business." Habibah interrupted Qodir's words that had not been resolved.
" I want us to refer, for our son's sake. She's.."
" For our son..!? Which child? Did you not speak wrong? Since when did he become your son? Have you touched her since she was born? Do you care about her since she was born? Did you ever think of him when you left him? Do you ever care if he lives or dies? What have you done for her during her birth in this world? THERE IS NO..!!! So on what basis can you call him your son? He's just your biological son, nothing more.. And why are you coming now? Where she is the person you love so much that you can leave us only for her even you are willing to hurt your parents just for her. Then why are you coming now? Do you think I'm that stupid, that I'm going to get crushed by just saying "for our son's sake" and then I'm going to accept it and forget it all? You're too naive, you're wrong." Habibah was really upset with the purpose of Qodir's arrival at his house.
" That's it.. There is no point in talking about the past. I live not for the past, but for the future. So don't expect anything from me." cut it again.
" If it's true what you say, you don't want to live for the past. Why don't you give me a chance to get back to how we used to be?" ask Qodir.
" As before? What did we look like?" habibah asked, and this time he turned face to face with Qodir bdan staring intently at Qodir's eyes. Qodir who got a stark look like that from his ex-wife who even when they were husband and wife never done by Habibah to him so goosebumps made. Qodir could really see the anger in Habibah's eyes.
" That's it.. I want to rest and soon also enter Dzuhur prayer." Habibah left Qodir still stunned where he stood. After a while, Qodirpun left the house of Habibah's parents.
" Aunty.. Who is that guy?" nur asked after Habibah was in his room and prepared to take a bath.
" That's Zain's father." Habibah answered honestly.
" Why not come in?" ask again.
" He doesn't live here, baby.. Already yes, aunty wants to take a shower first, want to pray.." Habibah pinched Nur's two cheeks and stroked his head for a while, then left him to cleanse himself and then prayed. Little Nur was just dumbfounded, he did not understand why his father Zain did not live with them.
After the prayer, Habibah fed Zain lunch. Nur who saw that, continued to pay attention to him without touching the food in front of him. After a while,. Habibahpun realized if he was noticed by Nur.
" What's up, honey? Do you not like the food? " ask Habibah.
" Angg..ok kok Aunty..just, can not aunty bribe me too?" nur said a little hesitating. Habibah smiled at the question.
" All right, honey, come here, auntie. But the promise has to be spent eating huh..?" said Habibah while taking a plate in front of Nur and asked Nur to move to sit next to him. Nur was very happy because it turned out Habibah wanted to grant his request.
It turns out Aunt Nur wants to bribe me. It turns out that Aunt Nur besides being beautiful is also good, really good. Glad I had a mom like Auntie Nur. If I call her mom, she's angry, right?
Nur continued to pay attention to Habibah's face without turning her back on the others. Dona and her mother who saw it were certainly a little surprised, because she was only the child of a man from Habibah's past. But his attitude can be as close and as pampered as that to Habibah.
" Bibah, what did Qodir come here for?" ask his mother suddenly.
" Ordinary ma, classic excuse. He asked for a chance to return with Bibah, but Bibah would not be able to give it. Bibah has forgiven him but that does not mean Bibah will want to return, especially just for the sake of children. Bibah proof is fine all this time, so why would you want to make a child as the reason?" habibah explained.
" Basic people don't know shame." chirped Dona.
" Sister is considered to be the same as him..!? Terminal.!? One that can be visited and left as he pleases..?!" dona continued grumbling, he was annoyed to hear his former brother-in-law as he pleased asked back.
" Have not discussed him again.don't let me know this." closed Habibah while giving Zain and Nur food. When finished, Habibah immediately brought Zain and Nur to take a nap. Habibah really treated Nur the same as Zain. And it makes Nur more comfortable and do not want to be far from Habibah. Even taking a nap, Habibah was forced to be in the middle of the two sweet children. Both of them embrace the body of Habibah who is indeed tiny, so that even their smallest child will be comfortable to embrace it. And finally not only the two children who slept, Habibahpun also fell asleep because he was exhausted. And the three of them both entered their beautiful dreamland.
