My Surgically Whipped

Secret

Zahra was silent waiting for the explanation to be explained by her in-laws, curiosity as mama's changing attitude now filled the zahra's mind.

"Actually what happened, until you apologized to Zahra, there's no way you've changed so quickly?" ask Zahra.

"Mama now realizes that you should not be rude to you, actually you were in your current position" said Ms. Ratna with a sad face,

"I mean mama?" zahra asked completely cluelessly, Zahra stared at her in-laws with a frown.

Zahra thought, did his father-in-law also ever ask permission to mama to marry again, so mama said that she had been in the position of Zahra now.

If it is indeed as Zahra thought, Why was her mother-in-law so supportive of Adam's decision to remarry, this really made Zahra confused.

If this was just her mother-in-law acting for a moment it felt impossible, because Zahra could see the sincerity and regret of her mother-in-law.

"About Adam was not our only child, Adam had an older sister, his name was Aliya" his father-in-law said.

If Adam had an older sister, now his older brother Adam where, why has no one ever said anything about this, Zahra thought.

Umi who had also just heard the words of Mr. Joseph was also curious, because it was to the knowledge of all people Adam was an only child, no one mentioned that Adam had an older sister.

"Papa was serious that Adam had an older sister, so where is his brother Adam now, why did we just hear this, then, and Adam never mentioned that he had a brother?" ask Zahra.

"His brother Adam had died Zahra, where in his fourth year, the same age as Aisha now, his name was Aliya, when he died. Adam was not born yet." explained Mr. Joseph.

Ms. Ratna who was beside Mr. Yusuf fell silent and bowed, her shoulders shaken with the miserable sobs, her hands busy wiping the tears that soaked her face.

Every now and then Mr. Yusuf rubbed the shoulder of Ms. Ratna giving peace to the middle-aged woman, only this time Zahra saw her mother who was so hard-hearted, crying like this.

It is very painful to lose a child for a mother, losing a child will make a mother so devastated.

The question in Zahra's mind was what caused Adam's brother's death, and why no one was talking about it, whether her husband knew about her brother.

"Sorry before. pah.. mah, if Zahra presumptuously wanted to ask, but Zahra was curious if not to ask, actually what was the cause of Aliya's death, did Adam know about his brother?"

papa took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, the wound that had been firmly planted today would be revealed, the wound that had healed but still left the pain so deep for Joseph and also Miss Ratna.

Though both of them choose to silence about the bitter times that have been lived both, where they lost the baby they love so much, encouragement for Mr. Joseph and Ms. Ratna.

"Aliya. his brother Adam actually suffered from leukemia, just like the disease suffered by Aisyah, and Adam never knew it" said Mr. Yusuf.

Deggs.

Zahra was really surprised to hear the words of Mr. Joseph, his brother Adam died of the same disease as his daughter, his heart became sick to hear that.

Suddenly Zahra's mind was empty, Aisyah's face was dancing in her shadow, whether her beloved daughter Aisyah would experience the same thing as her sister-in-law.

Thinking that all Zahra's soul was gone, the shadow felt terrible for Zahra, trying to be sincere but in reality the sincerity was so difficult and painful.

"Truely Zahra, his brother Adam Aliya died of leukemia." repeated Mr. Joseph.

"Mama loved Aliya very much, all our attention and affection for her, until at that time Aliya often bleed from the nose, and also often complain of pain throughout his body." said Ms. Ratna was silent for a moment to collect her breath in order to continue her story.

"What happens next. ma?" zahra asked curiously with a trembling voice.

"Until Aliya was unable to withstand the disease that attacked his body, Aliya died one year after suffering from leukemia" continued Ms Ratna explained there was no more sobbing, only tears that occasionally dripped.

Zahra goosebumps when she hears the story of her mother-in-law, her hands feel cold and her tears do not feel hatched along with her tears in-laws.

Umi who on the side can only stroke his daughter's shoulder, really Umi did not have the heart to see Zahra to suffer the same fate as her in-laws, Umi could not if it happened to her daughter Zahra.

Zahra hopes that Aisyah can survive and fight the disease she suffered.

"At that time my mother felt the world was destroyed, my mother really could not afford to lose Aliya, my mother had experienced a severe depression Zahra, due to the loss of Aliya." said Ms Ratna.

"Everything Adam never knew he had a sister, we didn't want to bring up the painful past, the secret was buried with Aliya's buried body." continued Mr. Yusuf.

"Is Ayesha leukaemia because of her family?" asked Umi.

"Maybe it's true" said Mr. Yusuf lirih.

Zahra really did not really hear the story of her husband's family past, her feelings were broken, afraid Aisyah experienced the same thing.

"Umi. whether Aisyah will be the same fate as her brother mas Adam, Zahra is not able to Umi. really Zahra is not sincere if it happens" said Zahra with dewy eyes.

"Relax my son.Take your heart and mind not to think the no-no, leave everything to God, ask God for healing over Aisha."

"Zahra forgive mom.When you hear that Ayesha is suffering from leukemia, you really feel guilty, for saying you are a bad mother.

Forgive me for forcing you to allow Adam to remarry, I'm really sorry."

Ms. Ratna regretted being rude to Zahra, and regretted blaming Zahra for not allowing Adam to remarry.

Ms. Ratna was in Zahra's position now, when her beloved daughter passed away.

If only her husband had remarried, then she wouldn't be here now, surely Ratna's mother is in a mental hospital, because it is certain that he will not be able to face the trials repeatedly.
