It had been a few minutes they were still in their respective positions. Ajis was indeed unable to speak at that moment, but he was afraid of losing his chance if this was his last time.
Ajis slowly approached with shaky steps. He flanked Zahrana's cheeks, and cupped his face to his wife's chest.
"So weak is Brother in the eyes of Brother, so that Sister does not want to share her suffering to Brother, hmm?" Ajis asked with great effort to resist the sobs.
Zahrana. "That's not it, brother..."
"Then? Isn't it my sister who asked us to be open to each other and not to hide anything, right? But what is this?" Ajis's breathing troubled Zahrana. His chest was so tight that he endured the pain of seeing his pale wife and looking at her with great difficulty.
"Zahras... Zahras..." Zahrana nervous. She had no other reason than not wanting to burden her husband, and it would make her husband continue to feel contempt in front of her.
Ajis dared himself to look at Zahrana's face which was reflected in awkwardness. But his heart again ached to find that death-white bloodless face.
He sobbed, then buried Zahrana's face into his chest.
"Please... Please for anything, get well, Iaaang... Brother please... You can't see your beloved wife is sick..." His voice sounded bitter.
Outside his family sobbed to see them from behind the glass window of the room.
"Zahra is not sick, brother... Zahra's healthy..." Zahrana's pretext strengthened her grip to Ajis' waist.
"Already, Brother... Don't give up again... My brother knows everything. The doctor has informed you of Brother's condition..." Teas Ajis.
"Do-doctor? Why is there a doctor, brother?"
"When Brother fainted yesterday, Hidayat came up with a sudden. He heard all the words of my brother... He was so angry and said that darling was sick..." Ajis's words are paused. He sniffled before continuing his speech.
"Abang confused, then he shouted asking that dear be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. And the doctor said that darling had come to check in here before..." Ajis.
"So, you already know?" Zahrana looked angry. He took his face out of Ajis's arms.
"Why doesn't Honey tell it to Brother, hmmm...? Did Babe really underestimate Brother...?" Kecam Ajis.
"That's not it, brother..." Zahrana replied weakly.
"Then what?" Tanya Ajis.
Zahrana was surprised to feel Ajis yelling at her. "A-branch?"
Ajis dilemma. He then buried Zahrana's face into his chest. "Sorry Brother, darling... Brother didn't mean to yell, dear..." Sesal Ajis felt guilty.
"Zahra knows it, brother... That's because of dear brother Zahra, isn't it?" Ask Zahrana. He seemed to smile saying it.
"Yes... Brother dear Brother Sister... Brother's anxious..." Answer Ajis while peeping the old head of Zahrana.
"Don't cry, Brother... Zahra is okay... Everything will be fine after this... Zahra please don't cry brother..." Zahrana's words strengthened her husband's heart.
Zahrana closed her eyes tightly. He took his face out of Ajis's arms. "Bismilahbornrahmaanirrahiim..." His swish. Slowly he opened his eyes.
Zahrana looks smiling looking at Ajis face. Then slowly raised her hand and rubbed her husband's face with her fingers. "Masyaa Allah... Zahra saw Zahra's husband was handsome... God Masyaa..." Excited words.
"Darling to see you clearly?" Tanya Ajis was excited.
Zahrana nodded without blinking her eyes. He's still smiling. "So Brother's face... Zahra only saw Brother's face..." Say again.
"Alhamdulillah... Honey can see clearly again..." Ajis said so happily and then hugged Zahrana tightly.
"What day is it now, Bang?" Ask Zahrana suddenly.
"He's come..." Zahrana.
Deg.
Ajis' heart beats hard. He listened to Zahrana's words.
"Who, Honey... Who's coming?" Ask with a huff.
Zahrana did not answer. He just smiled. But for a moment, he squirmed hard.
"Abang, cold... Elder brother... Hugging Zahra... Zahra's cold, brother... Laa ilaa ha illallah... Laa lilaa ha illallaah, Muhammadarrasulullah..." Zahrana said with trembling lips and shivering body.
Ajis fear. He complied and hugged Zahrana's body firmly.
Oh, God, please... Please Oh Allah... Please don't take the servant's wife... Pinta Ajis in her heart. He began to unsettled to feel the anger created by his wife's body.
"Quiet, Honey... Aye, yes... This is Brother hugging... I read Zikir ya..." Ajis. He hugged Zahrana's body firmly, then chanted a dhikr with melodious like Khai Bahar's voice.
"Jalallah's rabbi Ma Fi Qalbi Ghairullah
Nur Muhammad Shallah, Laa Ila Ha Illah
Hasbi Robbi Jalallah, Ma Fi Qalbi Ghairullah
Nur Muhammad Shallah, Laa Ila Ha Illah"
Ajis's tears did not stop while chanting that Zikir. He felt his wife's body so cold and did not move anymore.
He sobbed and groaned in deep sorrow.
"Sleep, Honey... Honey must be tired..." His whisper. He put Zahrana's head on the pillow and fixed his wife's sleeping position.
Zahrana's face was stiff and pale, but Ajis still smiled with a howling of tears, because his wife's lips were also seen smiling in peace.
"Sleep yeah, honey... Brother get out first. Brother wants to talk to our family, brother had not had time to talk anything. I'll see you later, darling again." Speak softly. He again kissed Zahrana's forehead, then covered his wife's body.

Sorry teman2...
Before the novel was written, Radetsa had thought carefully about this episode.
Maybe not too much...
But Radetsa's advice, listen directly Zikir Khai Bahar Hasbi Rabbi jalallah it.
