Survive Loving you
chapter 65

When the afternoon came, Ana was still agitated at the thought of Fatimah who was still in Sarah's house at this time, she was afraid that Fatimah would really trouble Sarah, he was eager to pick Fatimah up and bring her home, but he could not because he would meet Abimayu later. Even though she had used the veil, she still felt she could not see Abimayu now.

He was also calmer now after crying when he remembered Abimayu talking to a boy and Nayla.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Bundaa." Suddenly Fatimah's voice called out to him from outside.

"Mother."

Hearing Fatimah's voice calling her Ana became a little relieved. His anxiety had been a little lessened since then.

"Wa'alaikusalam." Ana answered Fatimah's greeting, then looked around.

"Well, did you go home alone, honey?" Ana asked as she looked around Fatimah, then looked back at Fatimah who nodded her lowered head.

"Sorry, Mother." Fatimah said while bowing her head.

Seeing that, Ana could only smile. He understood what the apology was for his daughter. He also understood that what Fatimah did was not a mistake for a 4-year-old child like him. It's just the instinct of a child who is basically happy to play.

"Mother isn't mad, honey." Ana likened her body to Fatimah, then kissed the cheek of her little daughter who was still bowing her head with a slightly frightened look on her face.

"What's with sister Eve?" ask Ana to fish so Fatimah will be happy again.

"Sister Eve had many friends, Mother. Fatimah was also a lot of her friends." The little girl was already cheerful when asked about her play.

Ana smiled again to interpret her own daughter's words that sometimes we still have to digest first what it means.

"Sister Eve also had Eyang, Punya Mmbaaah, had Umi much, had Abi much, little sister, little sister again, big brother." Fatimah said as she played her finger to count the number of people she met.

Ana's heart became sad to hear it. Had Fatimah known that all the people she met at Sarah's house were her family, she would have been happier.

Ana does not think that her husband Sarah's womb is her brother who has died a long time ago. Ana asked in her heart, What does all this mean? It turns out that he was still in contact with his family Abimayu even though he had decided to leave Abimayu.

"Fatimah has prayed?" asked Ana to Fatimah, because usually she always invited Fatimah to pray.

"Already, Mother. Fatimah prayed with Fatimah's friend" replied Fatimah happily because today she made a new friend that she did not understand that their meeting was only a few days.

"Alhamdulillah, Fatimah her pious son, Mother." Ana said while kissing Fatimah's cheek, and after that she brought Fatimah to go clean up because it was already afternoon.

Now he will take care of Fatimah less so that nothing like that happened. He would give his daughter understanding not to go to Sarah's house first, because she was afraid that she would trouble Sarah and because Abimayu and her family were still in the house.

...----------------...

"Amiin." Abimau's family is heard confirming a prayer at the meal of his deceased abi Hawa which was read by Kafian Mustapa.

This morning they have expressed their intention to make a pilgrimage to the grave of Sarah's late husband. After they finished praying, they returned to Sarah's house.

The distance from Sarah's house to the tomb is not too far away, because the tomb is located around this pesantren.

Abimayu walked the last of them all, and he walked very slowly because he wanted to see the scenery around this pesantren that looks very beautiful because it is close to the mountains.

"Mother, the flowers can be taken?"

Suddenly Abimayu heard the voice of a small child around her walking.

"Why, Bumda?"

"If many will be redundant, because who is the friend of Mubazir?"

"The theme is setaun, Mother."

"Ehmmm sholeh's son Mother is very smart."

Deg

Abimayu's heart suddenly sparred upon hearing one more voice, that of an adult woman. The voice reminded him of someone.

Abimayu continued to walk closer to the origin of the voice she heard. When he was near, he saw a little girl playing in a park around this boarding school, and he was accompanied by an adult woman whom he called with Mother sitting in a long chair in the direction of her back.

"Fatimah!" Abimayu spoke for herself because the girl she saw was Fatimah who met her at Sarah's house yesterday.

Abimayu continued to watch over them from a little distance away, because he was blocked by the guardrail, and also they seemed to be in the area where the princess was so that she could not enter the area.

"But Fatimah wants a lot, Mother."

"Dear, pity the flowers. They also live, if Fatimah takes it means they will die later, they also grow to make this garden so beautiful. If Fatimah takes them later the garden is no longer beautiful."

"Ehmmm just two, Mother?"

Abimayu saw Fatimah showing her two fingers to the woman who turned her back, and Abimayu also realized that the woman was the veiled woman he saw at Sarah's house yesterday. He had seen the woman pausing for a moment, in a backward position and after that he walked quickly like he wanted to run.

"Yeeee two." Fatimah jumped up happily because the woman allowed her to take the flowers she had wanted so far.

"Let's go back to the house."

"Yes, Mother. Fatimah take this first."

After Fatimah finished taking her flowers, Abimayu saw them walking hand in hand and left the garden. Abimayu continued to look until they disappeared from the sight of his eyes.

Huffffffff

Abimayu breathed out strongly. He wanted to normalize his heartbeat, as it still had not returned to normal.

Abimayu felt the voice of the woman was very similar to the voice of the woman she had been looking for all this time, but he was not sure because the woman he was looking for was very much different in appearance to the veiled woman he saw today.

Abimayu left the place and stepped back to Sarah.

"Where's Abi from?" asked Umi Aida when she got home.

"Father from looking around the pesantren, Umi." Abimayu replied with a bit of lacklusterness.

Umi Aida just smiled at Umi Aida's reply.

"Did that little girl named Fatimah come here?" ask Abimayu suddenly. He felt very happy to see Fatimah, because Fatimah was able to make his heart warm and like being able to release a little bit of his longing to someone he had longed for so far. He wanted to see Fatimah again even though before he came back earlier, he had also seen Fatimah.
