My Little Wife Fatimah's
45. Unifying bridge

Rahman had just returned from the morning prayer from the mosque, when he overheard someone's voice coming from the kitchen, he followed the voice. Apparently there was a figure of a blue hijab woman who was cooking, once the woman turned her head towards him, Rahman's eyes immediately focused on the woman who turned out to be Fatimah. "Fatimah" called Rahman who went straight to Fatimah and hugged her.

"Thank God you come back Fatimah, I really do not think if you still come back for me, anyway from today I will always take care of you, I do not want to let my guard down again, I will not let my guard down, I don't want to lose you anymore" Rahman said, crying and not letting go of her arms.

Fatimah hugged her, "Yes, I'm back for my sister, from now on we'll be together forever sister" said Fatimah smilingly hugging Rahman.

Suddenly the sound of alarm goes off, Rahman starts to open his eyes, and ends his sweet dream. "It's just a dream, but I really hope it's real, but I'm still grateful to be able to meet Fatimah even if it's just a glimpse of a dream" said Rahman who shed tears.

That morning Rahman left for work, while driving a car, he accidentally saw Lilis who was standing on the side of the road as if waiting for someone, Rahman still monitoring from the car.

Suddenly Fatimah came to see Lilis, "Lis.ayok we leave, anyway later we buy a gift that is effective for Fatih, however he is our friend," fatimah looked at Lilis on the side of the road.

Rahman who saw that from inside the car immediately rushed out of the car and called Fatimah. "Fatimah.." call Rahman loudly while running after Fatimah. Fatimah heard Rahman's voice calling out to her and ran towards her. Fatimah pulled Lilis hand and ran along to avoid Rahman.

Tired of Rahman's pursuit, but he lost track of Fatimah and Lilis. "Fatima.." Call Rahman out loud, until everyone looks at him. Fatimah who was hiding behind a tree was monitoring Rahman. "Sorry brother, I don't hate you, but I don't want to add to your burden" said Fatimah, who looked at Rahman from afar.

Lilis who saw it did not have the heart on Rahman until he planned something.

That night when Fatimah was asleep, Lilis quietly went from the house to meet Rahman. "Sorry Fatimah, it's for your good, I'm not willing that you have to sacrifice for that demonic woman" said Lilis, who quietly left the house.

Rahman was daydreaming in the living room, still thinking about the incident this morning. "I'm sure what I saw was Fatimah, why should you avoid me Fatimah, as much as you hate me, just look at me you don't want to, Fatimah, I'll marry someone I don't like at all, if you come back to prevent me from remarrying, this is all I did to try to forget you, but until this moment why only you are in my mind," Rahman's mind as his eyes glazed over. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Assalamualaikum" said a greeting from the front. Rahman hurriedly opened the door.

"Waalaikumussalam, Lilis," said Rahman who was shocked to see the lilis. "Yes, this is my sister" said Lilis.

"Lis.you have to be honest with me, I saw that you were with Fatimah right, let's be honest Lilis, don't lie to me, I'm not stupid, I'm not stupid, I know for sure you know about Fatimah," said Rahman who looked seriously at Lilis.

"Yes, I came here to tell you everything, brother, like I will be a bridge to unite two people who separated because of someone's rot" said Lilis.

Rahman and Lilis sit on the porch of the house to reveal everything. Rahman seriously listened to Lilis' story.

"Don't consider Fatimah evil for going away, Fatimah suffered a lot, starting from a few months ago, where Fatimah had cancer,"

"Well.cancer.." Rahman panicked to hear that.

"Yes, he tried to cover up his pain, at any time he could have a headache, sometimes he secretly went to the toilet just to cover from everyone that he was holding back the pain, honestly at that time I could not bear to see the pain of Fatimah, one day the secret of her pain was known by the demonic woman, yes the demonic woman named Sofia, the future wife of Rahman's brother at this time, the future wife, he threatened that Fatimah would expose Fatimah's disease to the public, the only condition that she would not expose Fatimah's disease was by the way Fatimah went far, that was why Fatimah left for no apparent reason, Fatimah was afraid that her illness would become a burden for everyone, especially on Rahman's status as CEO who would be tainted with her good name, Fatimah with a heavy heart had to go for the good of everyone, though I know until now Fatimah really loves brother Rahman, the only man he calls in his prayers," explained Lilis at length.

"Astaghfirullah Fatimah, stupidly I don't know that my wife is in a very severe pain, where Fatimah is now, how she is," asked Rahman with a regretful cry.

"Kak Rahman was calm, Fatimah had survived her cancer, thanks to the maximum treatment from her biological brother," said Lilis.

"You mean?"

"Iya Fatimah has found her real family, she was treated very well by her brother who turned out to be a doctor" explained Lilis.

"Where is Fatimah now, I want to meet her" said Rahman who was impatient to meet Fatimah.

"Don't you know now, Brother, Fatimah is resting, I'm here secretly without her knowledge, because if she finds out she must be angry, she's upset, fatimah said he did not want to ruin the happiness of Rahman who will marry Sofia," said Lilis seriously.

"Thank you for everything you did for Fatimah, and now you have given me such valuable information, thanks to you now I know what I should have done," said Rahman who really appreciate all the services of Lilis.

"By the same brother, the happiness of Fatimah is my happiness as well" said Lilis.

"But isn't Fatimah getting married to Fatih?" ask Rahman. "Hah.it is information from where my brother, Fatih will be married but not with Fatimah," explained Lilis.

"Astaghfirullah, so I had a bad idea on Fatimah, I was really a stupid man" Rahman said as if blaming himself.

"Don't blame yourself sister, the most important thing right now is to fix everything, one thing I ask you to do, don't let me down, please Fatimah, don't let anyone else like Sofia hurt her again," pinta Lilis's.

"Yes Lis, I promise I will not waste this opportunity," Rahman said seriously.
