The sound of laughter sounded so loud in the family room. The house that is usually so quiet is now being visited by the Rendy family. The middle-aged man and Zurran were unceasingly laughing at the defeated Khairil playing chess with Rendy.
"Dad cheated! The horse's time of the road 'L' should be straight." Khairil, who did not accept defeat, commented
Rendy and Zurran looked at each other and before long the two returned laughing more than the previous one.
"O Allah, Brother, if you can't play chess you say, don't be shy yourself." Zurran laughed with satisfaction until he shed his tears
The laughing Khairil ran to embrace the newly arrived Jizah with Zulfah and his two nephews. They just came to Jizah boutique through the door that is directly connecting the living room with the boutique.
"Astaghfirullah.. you why the hell, directly hug Umma kayak gini? Fortunately, Umma's heart was not shocked." Jizah instead let go of his embrace, but instead the middle-aged woman replied to him and it certainly made Khairil comfortable.
"That's Umma! The father of Zurran during the reign of Abang", he said complaining
"Helehh ngadu with emaakk. Here play again, the name also learns must be wrong." From the living room Rendy shouted. He had not visited his cousin's house in law for a long time. And the thing he will miss the most is to disturb his two nephews, whether it is Zurran or Khairil.
"Yes, eating Khairil learn not to be wrong. Not even in a match." Khairil replied in annoyance
"Father, continue to disturb the child! Come here, let me bales your father." Zulfah who had been silent was holding Khairil's hand and immediately approached where her husband was. Meanwhile, Jizah and Rendy's two daughters could only smile looking at her.
"Yes Rabb, I am unceasingly grateful to You. Rendy and Zulfah loved my children as much as their own. I am calm, when this body and soul You have taken, the children still have a complete parent figure, so that they are, O Rabbi." The Jizah is full of gratitude and hope
"Ammah? Let's go in, let's daydream here." Ruby, the first child of Rendy and Zulfah. The beautiful girl a year younger than Khairil had just finished college at Jizah's place of college first. And the purpose of his arrival to the house of Jizah was to tell the happy news that he still kept secret.
Jizah smiled and embraced her beautiful niece. They all sat quietly in the family room. Rendy and Zurran, who had previously laughed at Khairil, were silent after Zulfah had pulled their ears together.
Bi Mumun came with a tray containing tea cups, while Sus Diana came with a tray containing snacks to serve.
"Sorry, the same tea just prepared huh? Sok oruh is now in Cobain. I'm the same Diana stayed back first." Said Bi Mumun, a housekeeper who only worked a few weeks at Jizah's house.
"Hatur nohun ya Bi, Diana. But you don't want to join us?" Tanya Jizah offered
"Yes or aunt Diana is sitting with us here" continued Khairil
"No, we're behind." Bi Mumun Speech
"Yes right. But sorry before, Umma? It's taken the drug as well as the vitamins." Diana gave Jizah a medicine and a vitamin and was immediately swallowed up by it. After that Diana and Bi Mumun left behind those who were in the family room.
Ruby was confused to see Jizah still taking her medicine, didn't she get word if Jizah had recovered?
"Ammah I'm sorry, isn't Ammah healed?" Ruby asked, then her eyes looked at Khairil and Zurran as if asking for an explanation.
"Yes Zah, didn't Khairil tell us last month that you were healed?" Rendy asked with worried eyes. However, Jizah is one of the women she loves the most. It was always his reason to be the best. He certainly did not want his cousin to feel prolonged pain that concerns the past. It's so painful–he thought.
Khairil and Zurran held her in love. Each of them gives a sweet peck on the forehead, something special that is often done.
Khairil let go of his embrace and exhaled slowly. "Actually, last month we were convinced that Umma had recovered from her traumatic experience. We came to the psychiatrist again to make sure, and the doctor said Umma had a lot of amazing changes after doing some tests. After we came home from the psychiatrist and informed the other brothers and sisters confident that Umma was cured. But apparently, we were wrong. That night Umma rebelled and cried. Always blame yourself for what happened in the past. And this happened yesterday too." Khairil explained by holding back his cries. As much as possible, he held the tears so as not to be seen.
Rendy, Zulfah and her two children were shocked to hear this. Is it to heal from past wounds? Think they.
Zulfah hugged his sister-in-law. The tears just now flowed by themselves. "If Mufid's brother were still there, surely Jizah's brother would not feel this much pain" Zulfah's mind was then released.
"Zulfah was sure that you could get through this. Because big brother had also been in a complicated position even much more complicated than this. Sister again is God's chosen woman who accepts this." Zulfah smiled
"Sorry brother, huh? You must be ashamed huh, have a sister-in-law who is like this crazy person?"
"Sstt what's sister talking about? Zulfah was very proud and grateful, because God had given Zulfah a brother-in-law like Jizah." Zulfah hugged Jizah
“If only life could choose not to have a past, then I would ask Him.” Inner Jizah
Rendy could only be silent. His heart was so sick to hear Khairil's explanation. The tough woman he was so proud of is now fragile again. If in the past he could entertain Jizah in various ways, now only do'a that he could give.
"Allow this woman I love to heal and be happy to escape the entanglements of the past, Lord." His eyes kept staring at Jizah. His heart continued to pray and his head kept looking for ways how to help Jizah to heal immediately. And yes, a good thing came to his mind.
"Come now we all have to be optimistic if everything will be back to how it was before. And yes, Rendy's father will give you all the things that matter. And I'm sure my beloved Jizah will be very happy to take it." Rendy got up from her seat and walked out to call someone.

If in the past he could easily heal a big wound with the presence of someone who was so sincere as it is. But now? Fate wants others to live.
Yeah, thats. Too many wounds that are buried in the heart will eventually come back.
Some say, "Don't approach someone who hasn't recovered from his past, because even though he's been with you? He'll remember himself by the past."
Yeah, maybe that's Jizah. Women with a myriad of wounds in the past. Many bitter things that he could not tell until it finally became a habit. Losing love—presented love. Lost both—replace with wounds.
The wounds must heal quickly so that your heart and soul will not hurt again. It took an incredible fight, but I'm sure you can.
