Behind the Veil (Aisha)

Apologies

Zayn sat on the edge of the mattress while continuously massaging his forehead. Before long Lela came with a glass and medicine for her.

Lela sat down next to her husband, immediately gave the medicine and asked her husband to take it immediately.

"Now rest." Lela asked her husband to lie down.

Zayn remained seated while continuing to massage his head which he felt increasingly dizzy.

Lela then held her husband's head, massaging him with a sense of worry.

"If the dizziness doesn't stop, shouldn't we just go to the hospital now?"

Zayn looked at his wife with a smile.

"no need. Soon the dizziness will also disappear due to the reaction of the medicine I took just now."

"Then lay down. Who knew the dizziness would be slightly reduced."

"All right." Zayn suddenly laid himself on the lap of his wife.

Not to be surprised Lela even smiled to see her husband's head was already on her lap.

Zayn was seen closing his eyes, hoping to reduce the dizziness he felt.

But then she smiled as she felt Lela stroking her head slowly.

Zayn opened his eyes, staring at the wife's face above him.

"Where is Mira? Doesn't he want to stay?"

"At the house of Zaidan. She said Mira wanted to sleep there when I asked her to sleep here."

Zayn chuckles.

"It was my brother's understanding" he said, closing his eyes and wrapping his hands around his waist.

Lela just smiled as if she understood what her husband meant.

"Just pray that my headache will not heal soon," said Zayn slowly still while closed.

"If I suddenly recover then I will..."

"God give me healing for my husband." Lela cut her husband's words.

Zayn opened his eyes.

"Do you really mean your prayers?" he asked while looking at his wife.

Lela nodded. "of course. Which wife wants to see her husband sick."

Zayn immediately moved, sat back down while continuing to look at his wife.

"Do you know the consequences if your prayers are granted?" he continued to look at his wife.

"Is there a consequence?" ask Lela back.

"Yes. And it's pretty heavy."

"Oh yeah? What'sthat?"

Zayn slowly brought his face closer to his wife.

"Are you ready?" Zayn whispered as he continued to approach his wife's face.

Lela did not answer. He just kept his face back until he finally made his body collapse onto the mattress.

Zayn restrained his wife's body, looking at Lela's face with passion. Activate his maleness instinct which is now struggling.

Lela was just speechless resignedly, even though she actually felt very scared and trembling, both her hands squeezed the side of her clothes.

"If I ask for my rights tonight, will you be willing without feeling compelled?" ask Zayn slowly.

Lela did not immediately reply, she just continued to look into the eyes of the husband who seemed so eager to him.

"Did the codes I gave you not yet make you understand if I was willing to do my duty as a wife? If I've wanted to fulfill your rights as a husband immediately."

Lela's answer is like a breath of fresh air for Zayn who is actually still shrouded in doubt.

"I'm ready." Lela again confirmed her readiness.

Zayn's thumb swiped his wife's red lips, making Lela open her eyes immediately.

Unfortunately, the desire is getting stronger, it seems to make the nerves in Zayn's head also stiffen. The pain in his head became more.

Zayn again kissed his wife's forehead, looking at her lovingly before she fell down next to Lela.

"It seems that your prayer this time was not granted by God. My head is getting sick." Zayn held his head.

Lela looked back at the face of her husband lying beside her worriedly.

"It seems now it's your turn to be patient waiting for my recovery." Zayn looked at his wife with a smile.

"Hopefully this isn't my karma."

Zayn chuckles.

Anita continued to stare at the USG monitor screen in front of her seriously, one hand was busy moving the ultrasound device on top of Siti's stomach.

It's been a while and Anita is still struggling with her USG device, her face showing seriousness makes Siti and Aisha astonished.

"What's wrong?" tanya Siti finally tried to ask.

Anita took a deep breath while ending the examination on Siti's stomach.

She then invited Aisha and her sister to sit in front of her desk.

"I'm sorry I had to say this. Looks like I found something that's gonna make it hard for you to get pregnant."

Siti and Aisha were shocked.

"Post miscarriages that you had at that time, leaving problems in your uterus. There's a blockage in the fallopian tube." Anita tried to explain carefully.

"The blockage of the fallopian tube causes ***** not to be able to meet the egg in the uterus, so the fertilization process cannot occur. This condition can lead to fertility disorders."

"It really doesn't matter if the blockage only occurs in one of the fallopian tubes. The possibility of getting pregnant still exists, but by force I must say if the blockage you are experiencing is now occurring in both fallopian tubes."

Siti looks shocked.

"Not to worry. There are many solutions to this." Anita tried to calm down.

"One of them is with surgery. Surgery will be recommended for those who have problems with blocked fallopian tubes. Surgery depends on the location of the blockage and the extent of the malicious tissue. Surgery aims to open the blocked fallopian tube to give you a chance to get pregnant."

Siti is seen sumringah hearing Anita's last explanation.

"Do that. It doesn't matter if I have surgery as long as I can get pregnant."

"of course. But first you have to discuss this with your husband."

"Yes brother. Brother must tell everything first with sister's husband." Aisha held her brother's hand.

Siti nodded with doubt. Actually, he was afraid to tell his condition to the husband. It was imagined how her husband would be disappointed to know the condition of her troubled uterus considering she knew very well if Andre had been expecting the presence of a child.

"Calm down. No need to feel anxious, as I said earlier, there are many solutions to overcome your problems. Insha Allah as long as we continue to strive."

"I want to apologize directly to you," said Meisya stuttering looking down embarrassed in front of Lela. Her mother who was always beside her rubbed her daughter's back gently.

"I brought her here because she insisted on meeting you and apologized directly to you and your husband after hearing what happened to you two. He felt very guilty because what Ammar did was also because of his mistake." Diah makes clear the intent of their arrival to the residence of Zayn and Lela.

Zayn. While Lela keeps seeing Meisya who looks very different when they last met. In front of him is no longer a beautiful and graceful woman with all her charm, but a woman who looks depressed and full of despair. His face was pale with a look full of fear and regret. She then remembered her husband had told her what happened to Meisya, and her condition after the shaking, but Lela could not believe if the trauma she experienced was even that severe.

Lela moved from her seat. He approached Meisya. Diah gives her place when she finds out that Lela will be sitting next to her niece.

Meisya trembled looking terrified glanced at Lela who was now at her side.

"I wouldn't say I understand the circumstances you're going through even if I've been in your position. Maybe for me it's easy because I've been through, but it will be difficult for you because you just faced. The ability limit of this person is different. I'm just grateful to have passed it." Lela held both of Meisya's hands.

"But I know very well when I'm in your position. Not everything can be soothed by one's advice or embrace, for in fact something heavy and burdensome will only be reduced or even lost after there are tears and hands that pray."

Meisya immediately looked at Lela with tears on her cheeks.

Lela smiled, she hugged Meisya warmly.
