ZULFA FORTITUDE
The Police Station

At a glance Mutia looked towards the other car, her hands became cold, her face paled.

"Darling, what's up."

"Mother's the one who stabbed dad and grandma. He's evil. Tia's scared."

That's how traumatized he was with his biological mother. So that by looking at it, he was already afraid, until his body shook violently like this.

"He's a good boy, don't be afraid. Why should I be afraid. That guy's in handcuffs and the police can't hurt us anymore." Zulfa kept stroking her hair. Until his face met again.

"The wicked are antagonized by people yes, Mother ..."

"Yes,"

Zulfa kept talking to Mutiara, so she didn't feel like she was in a police car.

This incident really made Tia tired. Not feeling, he also fell asleep as soon as the car was just on the run.

Arriving at the police station, Maria was taken directly to the detention room. Zulfa headed for the examination table.

Just starting the examination, there was already a baritone voice, melodious yet quite loud and authoritative, greeting them.

"Iranian!" a stout-looking and quite old man, greeted with a surprised face.

"Why are you here?" tanyanya while removing the hat and replace it with skullcap. Maybe I want to pray maghrib. The day is already dark. Looks like the time is almost here.

"Pak Hasan" said Irwan who could not eliminate his nervousness and anxiety.

"What's the matter, son?" tanyanya shaking hands with Irwan. Irwan greeted him by kissing his hand.

"I don't know, sir. You know, you were brought here on child abduction charges."

Hasan's face wrinkled, and raised his eyebrows. He immediately looked towards the woman sitting in front of his men, holding the little girl. Which he seems to know.

"Zulfa ..." he said slowly. But basically the type of sound that boomed, making Zulfa look at him.

"Hasan?!" Zulfa looked surprised as well.

"For a while, so Zulfa's your bundle, Wan."

"That's it, sir. But I don't know, why you're being accused of kidnapping a child."

" ..... abducting children. Isn't that the kid at the Kasih Bunda orphanage?"

"Yes ...'

"There's nothing" he said, shaking his head.

"You two, finish maghrib to my room!" his orders were with the two policemen who were examining Zulfa.

Obtaining such an order, the two policemen were dumbstruck. Wah ... address.

"Dah yuk .. we pray magrib first. You don't have to think about this."

Alfa who heard that, immediately interrupted.

"Cannot. Not his son to be taken."

"Sorry whose father?"

"I'm grandfather. She's my granddaughter."

Hasan looked at Alfa calmly. Oh so this guy reported Zulfa.

"Sorry, Mr. Zulfa reported. I can demand your return then.

You should thank Zulfa for taking good care of your grandchildren. And I know that the father's granddaughter was thrown into the same orphanage as his own daughter. I knew very well that event was because of my cousin's nanny."

Alfa was silent, unable to say anything. Other than the testimony from Maria, there was nothing else she could hold. He was lethargic and sitting in that place.

He stared at Zulfa long ago, wanting him to hug his granddaughter. But I can't. Because from the beginning, Mutia was still frightened by him. And she saw clearly, how scared Mutia was of her daughter.

"May I hug my grandson?" please Alpha is very. Makes Zulfa feel pity. Moreover, his face showed sadness.

But Zulfa didn't want to give Mutia to Alfa, because right now, Mutia wasn't ready for that. And worried that in case, Mutia would be carried away by Alfa. Of course I don't want this to happen to his daughter. Although Mutia was not her biological daughter. But he loved her very much. Just as she loves Lika, her real daughter.

Zulfa answered, saying,

"Wait until he wakes up. You know, at this moment Mutia is still traumatized."

"Zulfa, I'll stay. Want to pray maghrib" said Hasan interrupted their conversation.

"E .. yes, Hasan. I too." replied Zulfa, about to follow Hasan and his son to the mosque in the police station complex. With the other men in the room

Just about to step up, already blocked Alfa.

"Can't I take him for a moment?"

Zulfa took a deep breath. Then take out the berahan.

"Patient father ... Insha Allah genengan I will introduce slowly. After all, Jenengan is his grandfather."

There was a smile on Alfa's lips, after a grueling day, Maria was arrested, her granddaughter did not want to be with her. Heard his grandson being abandoned. Make his heart go out. It is old age that has no meaning. Now that hope exists. The hope given by Zulfa.

"May I kiss my grandson."

For a moment Zulfa hesitated, but seeing the earnestness of Alfa, Zulfa finally approved.

"But don't take her away" said Zulfa, handing Mutia over to her grandfather.

This chatty woman too, whispered Alpha's heart. He accepted Mutia with a happy smile.

Unsatisfied he hugged the Pearl, the boy's eyes opened.

"Grandfather who. Oh ... Grandpa who wants to hurt Mother Zulfa yes. I don't want to be with Grandpa."

He rebelled, wanting to escape Alpha's embrace.

Not wanting to hurt her grandson, she immediately returned Mutia to Zulfa.

"I'm sorry Grandpa, honey." Alfa immediately returned it to Zulfa.

"We pray, dear" said Zulfa. He took Mutia down from his carrier. They walked hand in hand, leaving Alfa alone in the room.

She heard the words coming out of her grandson's lips. Makes her realize what Maria did to her granddaughter.

"Mother, is she really Tia's grandfather. Is she good .. is she not evil like mother Mary .... Tia already has a grandfather, Tia can still stay with mother."

"We pray that Mother Tia will be good. Grandpa too. More people love us ... Although Tia already has Maria's mother, Grandpa ... Mother forgot her name. Tia can stay with mom."

"But Tia was scared ...."

"There's mom, sister Lika, sister Irwan, grandmother Halimah, father too, who loves Tia. Already come ablution, later miss our prayer."

"Yes, Mother."

Conversations that make Alpha cringe. There were no tears coming out of his hiding place. Soon he wiped it, so that no one would notice. She rarely cries, but when she really wants to.

He left the place, running his car to a shop not far from him.

He bought a large pink teddy bear and also a toy car, to be presented to his two grandchildren. Then he went back to the police station. Sitting in front of the mosque, waiting for them to come out.

Before long, all had come down from his prayer. He immediately approached Zulfa.

He showed the doll he just bought, accompanied by a happy smile to his grandson.

"Tia, grandfather has a gift for you."

Tia walked backwards to the back of Zulfa. Frankly it makes him sad, but Alpha doesn't break charcoal.

"It!"

He squatted down to Tia.

Tia who was still afraid and hesitant, looked at Zulfa.

"It's okay, honey. Just accept it."

Tia appeared from hiding. Receive the gift with doubt. Then look at Zulfa back.

"Say what ..." said Zulfa.

"Thank you, Cake."

It was incomparably happy that Alfa heard the words from her grandson. He immediately hugged her happily. While Tia was just staring at Zulfa still with anxiety.

Zulfa winked, so that Tia would calm down. Fortunately Alfa immediately released Tia who immediately ran into the arms of mother Zulfa.

He was very happy with the doll. He thanked me again.

"Thank you, Cake. What's grandpa's name?

"Oh grandson. Grandpa is so happy, you are so sweet. Call Grandpa or Grandpa Alfa."

"Good grandfather ..." replied Tia happily.

"Sorry to send this to Aldo."

"Sorry, there's his father. He's the same as his father."

"You guys ...?" Alfa pointed at Zulfa and Herman alternately. Then nod your head.

"Yes." answered Zulfa briefly.

Only then did he realize that Zulfa and Herman had no relationship.

He leaves Zulfa for Herman, to leave Aldo's gift to Herman.

Meanwhile, Hasan, who had finished performing the Sunnah prayer, watched Zulfa from afar.

"Was he the one who wanted Brother Ridho to introduce me. Ah .. if so ...
