Sadiqah went back into the courtyard of the luxurious house. It was as if fate brought her back into the house. Sadiqah checked every inch of the yard. Finally she found her wallet under the window of the house. Sadiqah bent down to retrieve her wallet. Sadiqah got a call from Ruqayyah.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Said Ruqayyah.
"Wa’alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Sadiqah replied.
Her body accidentally touched the large jar near the window, causing a loud sound. 2 house guards approached her, thinking he was an intruder.
"Hey who's there? You want to steal here, huh?" Shouted one of the guards to Sadiqah.
"Sadiqah, what's in there?" Asked Ruqayyah from the end of the phone.
"No, no. I don't want to steal." Sadiqah replied to the guard.
Because Sadiqah was so nervous she dropped her cellphone. The pieces of her cellphone were scattered in the courtyard of the luxurious house.
Ruqayyah (19) POV
I don't know why I wanted to follow Sadiqah to the house of No 32 Basurimansur Rajaratraw. Maybe Sadiqah needs my help there. I returned to the house, then returned all the dolls in their places. After that I took my wallet, and ordered a taxi. I didn't forget to lock the door of my house, and make sure Grandma Sumayyah's house was locked properly. After that I waited for a taxi in front of my house.
"Bismi l-lâhi, tawakkaltu 'alâ l-lâhi, wa lâ hawla wa lâ quwwata illâ bi-l-lâhi.
In the name of Allah (I'm out). I put my trust in Him, and have no power and strength except for the help of Allah. "I prayed in my heart.
The taxi I ordered arrived 5 minutes later. I entered the taxi.
"Allahu akbaru, Allâhu akbaru, Allâhu akbaru. Subhâna l-ladhî sakhkhara lanâ hâdhâ wa mâ kunnâ lahu muqrinîn, wa innâ ilâ rabbinâ la-munqalibûn. Allâhumma innâ nas-aluka fî safarinâ hwâdhâ al-birra wa t-hwâdhâ ta-l -'amali mâ tardâ. Allâhumma hawwin 'alayna safaranâ hâdhâ wa twi' annâ bu'dahu. Allâhumma anta s-sâhibu fî s-safari, wa-l-khalîfatu fî-l-expert. Allâhumma innî a'ûdhu bika min wa ' thâ'i s-safari wa ka'âbati-l-manzari, wa sû'il-munqalabi fî-lmâli wa-l-experts.
Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Glory to God who put this vehicle for us, whereas before we were not able to. And indeed we will return to our God (o Day of Resurrection). Dear Allah! Indeed, we ask for kindness and piety in this journey, we ask for actions that are pleasing to You. Dear Allah! Make our journey easy, and keep the distance for us close. Dear Allah! You are my traveling companion and taking care of (my) family. Dear Allah! Truly I take refuge in You from fatigue in traveling, sad sight and ugly changes in property and family. "I prayed in my heart.
"Ma'am, please take me to the house No. 32 Basurimansur Rajaratraw." I said to the taxi driver I was riding.
“Ruqayyah, you can call me sis Mukta. After all, we already know each other. So don't be too formal like that. "Said the taxi driver I was riding (30).
"Yes, sis Mukta." I said to sis Mukta.
After a brief conversation with sis Mukta, the taxi I was riding in rolled across the city streets.
The taxi I was riding finally stopped near a luxury house.
"Are we there, sis?" I asked sis Mukta.
"Yes, Ruqayyah. We've arrived." Mukta replied
"Thank you sis. Please wait a moment, I won't be long." I said.
"Yes Ruqayyah I will be waiting for you." Said sister Mukta.
I get out of the taxi, and walk towards the white, high-fenced house described by Mischa. Near the house, I saw the taxi Sadiqah was in. I approached the taxi.
“Sis Meeti, is Sadiqah in the taxi?" I asked Sis Meeti.
“No Ruqayyah, earlier she got out of the taxi with Mischa. Then she handed Mischa to his mother. After that he came back here. He got out of this taxi again, because the keys to his house fell in the luxury house. Until now he hasn't returned. follow her, I'm afraid something will happen to her. " Answer Sis Meeti.
Sis Meeti's answer made me worry about Sadiqah.
“Thank you sis. I'll follow her." I said.
I ran towards the mansion. I was surprised to see something parked in the courtyard of the mansion.
"That motorbike ... That means, Sadiqah ..." I muttered to myself.

Author POV
Ruqayyah, and her family are still in the residence of Mr. Abdurrahman. Grandma Pakizah's feelings are mixed, between being worried that Ruqayyah's wedding plans will be canceled, and being happy because she succeeded in humiliating her enemy's family.
"Grandma, didn't you hurt your hand earlier. Please let me treat your wound." Said Ruqayyah worried.
"We can treat it at house house." Said Grandma Pakizah.
"No, Madame. Ruqayyah is right. We have to treat it immediately so that there is no infection. I will take you to a room, we will treat it there." Said the future mother-in-law Ruqayyah.
“Thank you aunt." Said Ruqayyah.
"You're welcome Ruqayyah. You can call me Aunt Amira." Said the future mother-in-law Ruqayyah.
Ruqayyah and Grandma Pakizah followed in the footsteps of Mrs. Amira. Mrs. Amira stopped in front of a room. Mrs. Amira opened the door to the room for Ruqayyah and Grandma Pakizah.
"Please enter Madame Pakizah, and Ruqayyah." Said Mrs. Amira.
Mrs. Amira took out the first aid kit from the deceased.
"Ruqayyah immediately treat your grandmother with this medicine. This is a herbal medicine for wounds. This medicine is very effective for treating wounds." Said Mrs. Amira.
"You're right, Mrs. Amira. Our family also uses herbal medicine more often than chemical medicine." Said Grandma Pakizah.
"Thank you, Aunt Amira. Aunty Amira, you better go back to the living room, maybe you will need aunt's help there. I will treat my grandmother here." Said Ruqayyah.
"Yes, Ruqayyah. After Mrs. Pakizah has finished being treated, please return to the living room. We will continue our pending conversation." Said Mrs. Amira as she left Ruqayyah and Grandma Pakizah in the room.
Ruqayyah opened Grandma Pakizah's sleeves. Ruqayyah did not find the slightest wound there.
"Grandma, why don't I see the wound on your hand?" Asked Ruqayyah.
"Really Ruqayyah. But Grandma's hand hurts so much. Looks like this is a deep wound." Said Grandma Pakizah.
"I will call Dr. Preeta for grandma. Dr. Preeta is my friend, she is a professional physiotherapist. Grandma will definitely get well soon." Said Ruqayyah.
“You don't have to do that, Ruqayyah." Said Grandma Pakizah.
"Why Grandma, why can't I call a physiotherapist for my own grandmother?" Asked Ruqayyah.
"This pain will also heal itself Ruqayyah. You don't have to waste money on something unnecessary." Said Grandma Pakizah.
"Grandma, money can be found again but your health is the most important thing. Give me a good reason grandma." Said Ruqayyah.
“Alright Ruqayyah, I will admit the truth. I only pretended to be hurt. Sadiqah didn't hurt my hand at all." Said Grandma Pakizah forcefully.
"Why did you do this? Do you want to make father angry with Sadiqah?" Asked Ruqayyah.
“Yes Ruqayyah. I don't want our family and theirs family to be united." Said Grandma Pakizah.
“Astagfirullah hal adziim. Are you aware of what you are saying, and are you doing today? This is a sin. Grandma has accused Sadiqah of lying, insulted Sadiqah's family, then severed the brotherhood of fellow Muslims. Grandmother must repent to Allah and ask for it. sorry to Sadiqah. But first grandmother must admit grandmother's actions. Because someone's repentance, and someone's apology will not be accepted until that person admits her mistake. Grandmother must explain everything as clearly as possible to father. So that my father is no longer angry with Sadiqah." Said Ruqayyah advising her grandmother.
“Grandma has decided that you won't do that, even if you force grandma." Said Grandma Pakizah.
Ruqayyah was surprised to hear what Grandma Pakizah said.
"Fine if you don't want to admit it. I'll tell you the truth myself." Said Ruqayyah.
"You can't do that, Ruqayyah." Said Grandma Pakizah.
"Why Grandma, why can't I say it? Meanwhile, the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam said: Tell the truth even though it is bitter (H.R.Ahmad. Ibn Hibban. Al Hakim).” Said Ruqayyah as he walked toward the exit.
After only five steps Ruqayyah walked, Ruqayyah heard the sound of something falling behind her.
Bruuuk
Ruqayyah looked back. Ruqayyah panicked seeing her grandmother fainted. Ruqayyah took the water glass on the nightstand then sprinkled the water on Pakizah's grandmother's face. Grandma Pakizah was not aware either. Ruqayyah tried her best to lift Pakizah's fat grandmother and put her on the bed. After that Ruqayyah ran into the living room.
"What's the matter Ruqayyah, why do you look so panicked?" Asked Mr. Salman.
"Dad, grandma passed out." Ruqayyah replied.
Ruqayyah, Mr. Salman, Grandpa Daud, Pak Abdurrahman, and Mrs. Amira went to the room where Grandma Pakizah was. They went straight into the room. Mrs. Amira immediately called her family's personal doctor.
_________________________________
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Said Mrs. Amira.
"..."
"Dr. Fakhitah, please come to our house. We need your help, because someone was passed out here." Said Mrs. Amira.
"..."
"Thank you doctor. Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Said Mrs. Amira.
"..."
_________________________________
“The doctor will be here in a moment. Meanwhile the doctor asked us to try to revive the patient." Said Mrs. Amira.
Mrs. Amira took the water glass on the nightstand and sprinkled it on Grandma Pakizah's face. Ruqayyah noticed the water in the glass.
It's weird, didn't the water just decrease a little earlier, why is it only a quarter of it now? Who reduced the water? There's something wrong here. Grandma, I know grandma is just pretending to faint so I don't tell my dad the truth. But I can't tell you the truth either. say if you pretend to faint here. You can be embarrassed later. I will advise you at home.
10 minutes later dr. Fakhitah comes. Dr. Fakhitah immediately checked Grandma Pakizah's heart rate, Grandma Pakizah's pulse, and others.
"There is nothing to worry about. Mrs. Pakizah is just exhausted. It would be better if Grandma Pakizah rested more, that's all my advice. I'm sure Mrs. Pakizah will wake up in a little while. Since my assignment is complete, I want to go home." Said dr. Fakhitah.
"Thank you, dr. Fakhitah. Let me take you to the front." Said Mrs. Amira while escorting dr. Fakhitah.
That's right, said dr. Fakhitah, Grandma Pakizah realized not long afterwards.
"forgive us because of the commotion in your house, Mr. Abdurrahman. But don't let this girl affect Ruqayyah's wedding plans." Said Grandma Pakizah.
"Of course not, your granddaughter and that girl are very different. Grandma Pakizah, you just woke up from fainting, you should just rest. Don't think too much, and talk too much." Said Pak Abdurrahman.
"Mr. Abdurrahman, we are leaving now. My mother must rest at home." Goodbye Mr. Salman.
"Yes, Mr. Salman, you are right." Said Pak Abdurrahman.
Grandma Pakizah walked, guided by Ruqayyah and Mr. Salman. After that the Ruqayyah family left the house No. 32 Basurimansur Rajaratraw. Ruqayyah hasn't been able to tell the truth to her father today maybe, she will say tomorrow.
Sadiqah (19) POV
* Grandma Sumayyah's residence *
Seconds of time passed, but my tears incessantly vying to get out. I feel so guilty today. I was there but I was unable to resolve the misunderstanding between the two families. I was there but I couldn't prevent other people from speaking badly about my family. Even I am the cause of other people talking badly about my family. I was there but I couldn't fulfill my duty to my sister in faith to help her to get the right priest. I even accidentally messed up her happy day. O Allah, o my God forgive the servant who is weak, often makes mistakes, and is covered in sins. O Allah, give me the strength to stay in Your path.
The house atmosphere is still so quiet, because mother and grandmother have not returned. No one can hear my cry because even I don't let myself hear it. That's what I was, crying sobbing would only make me dizzy, and I couldn't think straight. My hands are also tirelessly rubbing the tears that flow down my veil. From today on I am determined to become stronger for my family.
Suddenly someone said greetings from outside the house.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Said a woman from outside the house.
"Wa’alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." I answered from inside the house.
I didn't open the door right away. I choose to wash my face before that. How can I meet a guest in a state of chaos like this. I walked to the bathroom to wash my face.
“Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" Said a woman from outside the house for the second time.
“Wa’alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." I answered from inside the house.
I quickly accelerated my motion. After I finished washing my face I put the veil back on my face. I walked towards the door of the house, and opened the door for the guests who were outside. The guest was Ruqayyah.
"Marhaban Ruqayyah. Come on in." Said Ruqayyah.
"No Sadiqah, I'll just stay here. I'm more comfortable talking here." Said Ruqayyah.
"Sit down Ruqayyah." I said.
Ruqayyah sat on the chair on the porch of my house. I sat next to her
"What's wrong Ruqayyah? Is there anything I can help you with? Shouldn't your future husband's family come to see you?" I said.
"They didn't come to my house. Didn't we meet earlier, then why did they have to come to our house to see me again?" Said Ruqayyah.
I feel so guilty that I accidentally messed up Ruqayyah's happy day.
"Ruqayyah, I'm sorry. Whatever happened today is my fault. I beg your pardon." I said.
"All of this is fate, Sadiqah. You were destined to come to that house. But I know very well that your only purpose there was to bring a lost child to his mother. Mischa's mother came not long after your departure to the house. You could have been. get a hunch to wait for Mischa's mother in a bit, but you don't get it and you still go to the house. Even after you bring Mischa and her mother together, you have to go back to the house because the keys to your house fell there. So I ask you not to. blame yourself for something predestined. " Ruqayyah said wisely.
"Alright Ruqayyah, you are right." I said.
"Sadiqah, I apologize on behalf of my grandmother, and my father for what happened today. I also apologize for not defending you today, even though I had the opportunity to do so. I beg your pardon." Said Ruqayyah.
"Ruqayyah, I've forgotten about it. What about your wedding plans?" I asked.
"Everything is fine, Sadiqah." Ruqayyah replied.
"Alhamdulillah. I'm happy to hear that. How is Grandma Pakizah?" I said.
“Grandma is fine, Sadiqah. In fact, Grandma's hand doesn't hurt. Grandma is resting right now, because my grandmother passed out." Ruqayyah replied.
Actually I really wanted to visit Grandma Pakizah because I was very worried about her, and I wanted to carry out my obligations. to my brothers in faith. But I gave up on that intention, because I didn't want my presence to worsen Grandma Pakizah's health condition.
“Goodbye, Sadiqah. I'm afraid my grandmother is looking for me." Said Ruqayyah.
"Wait for a minute, Ruqayyah. Don't go home yet. I'll be right back." I said as I entered the house.
I took 5 flower pots from inside my house and put them in plastic. I left the house carrying the pot.
"Please accept this, Ruqayyah." I said while handing over the plastic containing the pot.
Ruqayyah received it with his right hand.
"What is this, Sadiqah?" Asked Ruqayyah.
"It is a flower that is usually put in the room to make one's sleep better. It is the flowers of aloe vera, lavender, paris lilies, gardenia, and jasmine. Although most plants release oxygen during the day and rest at night, the aloe vera plant. releases oxygen all the time, even when we are sleeping. There is a reason why we often find lavender in detergents. Numerous studies over the years suggest that these beautiful purple flowers can help you calm down and relax the body. Paris lilies are a natural air purifier. which can reduce up to 90% of toxins in the air. Water these lilies 2 times a week. Gardenias and jasmine flowers can also relax the body with their aroma. Gardenias like to be in humid places and must be exposed to direct sunlight. These flowers are in my room, in my mother's room, and in my grandmother's room, and we can all rest with n yenyak. Put these flowers in your grandmother's room, so that she sleeps better, "I replied.
"Thank you Sadiqah. You are very kind. Goodbye Sadiqah." Said Ruqayyah.
"You're welcome, Ruqayyah. Hopefully Grandma Pakizah gets well soon." I said.
"Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Said Ruqayyah.
"Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." I answered.
Ruqayyah returned to her house, then I entered my house and closed the door again.
Author POV
Mrs. Salamah and Grandma Sumayyah returned to their homes not long after Sadiqah closed the door. When Mrs. Salamah and Grandma Sumayyah were about to enter their house, Grandpa Daud stopped them.
"Wait Salamah, I want to talk to you." Said Grandpa Daud.
Mrs. Salamah, and Grandma Sumayyah stopped walking. Grandpa Daud drew closer to them.
"Greetings grandfather. I congratulate Ruqayyah's wedding plans." Said Mrs. Salamah to Grandpa Daud.
"I didn't come here to hear those words. I just want you to take good care of your daughter. Because of your son's actions today, I won't be able to forgive her forever." Said Grandpa Daud exaggerating the problem this afternoon.
"Who are you to talk about my granddaugther like that?" Said Grandma Sumayyah.
"I beg you mom." Said Mrs. Salamah to Grandmother Sumayyah to be quiet first.
"But what's the problem? What has Sadiqah done?" Asked Mrs. Salamah to Grandpa Daud.
"Ask your child. Today she really went too far. It would be better if you teach your child some manners. Because she, our family can be embarrassed." Said Grandpa Daud as he went to his house.
Mrs. Salamah, and Grandma Sumayyah were confused after hearing Grandpa Daud's words.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Said Mrs. Salamah, and Grandma Sumayyah from outside the house.
"Wa’alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Sadiqah answered from inside the house as she opened the door for her mother and grandmother.
"Sadiqah, what's the problem? Why does Grandpa Daud talk about you so much?" Asked Mrs. Salamah to Sadiqah.
Sadiqah was silent for a few moments. She was confused about where to start. Not long after, the Asar call to prayer rang out.
“Mother, I will answer your questions after prayer. Now, it is better for you and grandmother to perform ablution immediately." Said Sadiqah.
Mrs. Salamah put the vegetable basket she had brought from the market on the table. After that Sadiqah, Mrs. Salamah, and Grandma Sumayyah took turns to perform ablution. Then Sadiqah, Mrs. Salamah, and Grandma Sumayyah prayed asar in congregation at home. As usual, after the Asar prayer they prayed, then read the evening remembrance, and read 20 verses of the Quran. Within 45 minutes they had finished their routine after prayers.
"Mother I will tell you what happened after you and my grandmother left the house today." Said Sadiqah.
Sadiqah told all the things that happened this afternoon starting from Mischa's arrival, her going to No 32 Basurimansur Rajaratraw's house.
"Then what happened, Sadiqah?" Asked Mrs. Salamah.
Honestly, just remembering it made Sadiqah's heart ache. But Sadiqah still had to tell what happened next because this was the point of why Grandpa Daud was so angry with her. Sadiqah also recounted what happened to her family according to what she remembered.
Flashback on:
Sadiqah was taken to a living room in the mansion. There were several people gathered in the living room. It seems that there are special guests in the house, so none of the occupants of the house opened the door for Sadiqah earlier.
"Come on ..." Said the guard who brought Sadiqah.
When Sadiqah was right at the end of the last staircase, the special guests of the house rose from their seats. Sadiqah was surprised to see the guests. The guests were also surprised to see Sadiqah. The guests turned out to be Grandma Pakizah, Mr. Salman, and Grandpa Daud. This means that the house that Sadiqah entered is the family home of her future husband Ruqayyah.
"Watchman, who is she?" Asked the owner of the house, and the head of the family in the house.
"Sir, she secretly entered the yard of the house. I have interrogated her but he did not give a clear answer. So you just asked her." Answer the guard who brought Sadiqah.
"Very well. You go on." Home owner orders to the house keeper.
The guard who took Sadiqah left the guest room in the luxurious house.
“Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Said Sadiqah.
Sadiqah ventured to say greetings after knowing that the inhabitants of the house were Muslim like herself, even though Sadiqah knew her presence without being invited, and was more like an intruder.
"Wa’alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Answer everyone who heard it.
"Sadiqah, what are you doing here?" Asked Mr. Salman who recognized Sadiqah from her clothes, and her voice.
“You know her?" Asked the mistress of the luxurious house before Sadiqah could answer the questions addressed to her.
It seems that the mistress of the house doesn't like Sadiqah.
"Surely the Bengalan sent her here." Grandma Pakizah's comments regarding Sadiqah's presence.
"Mr. Salman, do you recognize this girl?" Asked the owner of the luxury house to Mr. Salman.
"Uncle, I apologize beforehand because I entered your yard without permission. Uncle Salman is my neighbor. I mean, I am their neighbor. I am a friend of Ruqayyah. My name is Sadiqah." Sadiqah answered after seeing that Grandma Pakizah did not answer the house owner's question.
"Mr. Salman, is Ruqayyah's friend like this?" Asked the owner of the house, who in fact is Ruqayyah's future father-in-law.
"No, Mr. Abdurrahman. This child is lying. She is not a friend of Ruqayyah. She is her daughter of my enemy. And she came here to find trouble for us." Said Grandma Pakizah.
"Enemy? I don't understand what you mean?" Asked the mistress of the luxurious house, who in fact was Ruqayyah's future mother-in-law.
"The problem is with their family, we have never had a match. And her grandmother every day looks for trouble with me. Today when she found out that Ruqayyah was going to marry a young man from a good family, she certainly didn't accept it. She herself couldn't come here that's why she got his granddaughter over here to cause trouble." Grandmother Pakizah said accusing Sadiqah, and her family with a lie, before Sadiqah herself explained the real reason for her arrival, namely that Sadiqah wanted to meet a missing child with her mother.
"Grandma, trust me I don't want to find trouble here." Said Sadiqah.
"Is that so? Then what is your purpose in coming here?" Grandma Pakizah asked.
"I came here to bring together a missing child with her mother. And regarding Ruqayyah's wedding plans, I only told Ruqayyah to first identify her future husband. I mean, Ruqayyah must know how the young man's religion and morals are. That's all I have say to Ruqayyah. " Sadiqah replied.
“You're always looking for excuses to justify your actions. I already know that." Grandma Pakizah's comments on Sadiqah's answer.
"Mr Salman if your child is very curious about my son and about our family. You should have tell it from the start. The problem won't get here. In our family only parents make decisions about their child's marriage." Said the future father-in-law Ruqayyah.
"More than that, apart from parents who knows their own son better? If you want to know something about our son, you just ask us." Said the future mother-in-law Ruqayyah who seemed offended by Sadiqah's words who doubted her son's religion and morals.
"Uncle, Auntie, please don't get me wrong. That's not what I mean. Uncle, try to tell me, without seeing and without knowing, how can anyone live with someone forever?" Sadiqah asked Ruqayyah's future father-in-law.
"I knew from the beginning, all of this was her doing. She influenced Ruqayyah to find out about her future husband." Accused Grandpa Daud on Sadiqah.
“No, it is not grandpa." Denied Ruqayyah, who suddenly stood at the end of the stairs.
Ruqayyah came to No 32 Basurimansur Rajaratraw's house to save Sadiqah. She arrived late due to being interrogated by the house guard. Ruqayyah walked down the steps. All pairs of eyes stared at her in amazement. After that Ruqayyah stood right beside Sadiqah.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Said Ruqayyah.
“Wa’alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Answer the householder.
"Uncle, please forgive me. Whatever happened today, it was my fault." Said Ruqayyah to her future father-in-law.
"You don't need to apologize Ruqayyah, it's not wrong if you want to know the religion and morals of your future husband." Sadiqah's comments.
"Shut up, Sadiqah. You've made my granddaughter talk nonsense." Said Grandma Pakizah to Sadiqah.
"Mr. Abdurrahman, Sadiqah is a child without a father. Therefore there is no father's name behind her name. I have given a good education to Ruqayyah. And Sadiqah was only educated by her mother and her grandmother. No wonder this child does not have the same manners as mother, and grandmother. This child is like her mother, her grandmother is equally ashamed." Said Grandma Pakizah accusing Sadiqah of being nonsense.
"Enough grandma, don't talk about my mom, and my grandma like that." Said Sadiqah.
Grandma Pakizah almost slapped Sadiqah, but Sadiqah held Pakizah's grandmother's hand so it didn't land on her cheek.
"If I am guilty, I will receive 1000 slaps from grandmother. But if I am innocent I will not listen to a single grandmother's words that always badmouth my family." Said Sadiqah.
Sadiqah is a kind person but she is not weak. She would not allow others to trample on his family's pride.
Grandma Pakizah couldn't help but hear Sadiqah's words. Finally Grandma Pakizah acted as if Sadiqah had injured her hand.
"Eeh ..." Ringis Grandma Pakizah while holding her hand that had been released by Sadiqah.
Mrs. Salman was angry seeing his mother in pain. Sadiqah received a heavy slap from Mrs. Salman. Ruqayyah was surprised to see him.
"Enough Sadiqah. She is my mother. And you dare to fight my mother. What is wrong is the upbringing you received, the wrong is your parents. Nobody taught you how to talk to parents. If you have a father you will not be like this." Said Mr. Salman after slapping Sadiqah.
"Thank goodness our Ruqayyah is not like this child." Grandma Pakizah's comment.
"Like what a child who is not educated by parents I just found out today." Said Mr. Salman added.
"When you're done with all your drama, get out of this house. Just play the play somewhere else with your mother, and your grandmother too. It's not good to play in good people's houses. Get out." Said Grandma Pakizah to expel and humiliate Sadiqah.
"I have permission to go home. Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Said Sadiqah for the last time.
"Wa’alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Answer the inhabitants of the house.
Sadiqah ran outside with bated tears. It broke her heart to hear all the insults from the mouths of Grandma Pakizah, and Mrs.lman. She headed straight for the taxi and shed her tears there
Flashback off
Sadiqah described the incident this afternoon in a coherent manner, without adding or subtracting it. Sadiqah immediately hugged her mother after telling all that.
"Mother, grandmother, I beg your pardon. I can't stop other people talking badly about my own family. I'm too weak." Confide in Sadiqah while crying in the arms of Mrs. Salamah, her mother.
"No Sadiqah, don't blame yourself. You haven't done anything wrong." Said Mrs. Salamah.
"Be patient my granddaughter. Salman, how dare you slap my granddaughter. I will not spare you." Grandma Sumayyah said angrily as she walked out of the house to meet Mr. Salman.
Sadiqah was afraid to see her grandmother's anger. Mrs. Salamah tried to stop Grandma Sumayyah.
"Greetings, please don't stop me." Said Grandma Sumayyah.
"No it is not mother who will go but me. Today someone touched my child, and my child was accused of nonsense, mother. I educate her like that, then I asked what was her fault?" Said Mrs. Salamah.
"Go on. Don't delay the time asking Salman about it." Said Grandma Sumayyah.
"No mother, it's already evening. I don't want to go to their house and disturb them. Maybe this is the difference between us. But I'll definitely ask for an answer early in the morning." Said Mrs. Salamah.
