Sacred Love Shanum

Chapter 13

"Mas Hanan."

"What's the pain Hanan has, Bi?"

"In this doctor's certificate it is explained if Hanan mas exposed to early-stage brain cancer," explained bi Sumi.

"Astaghfirullahaldzim says. Does Auntie not know if Hanan's been sick all this time?"

"No, Son. Hanan tends to be quiet. Aunty thinks she's deliberately hiding the disease from anyone including Mr. Adrian and Ms. Elina."

"Is the disease dangerous, Bi?"

"It's not dangerous anymore, it's deadly."

"Why did Hanan keep this serious matter from his parents?"

"Maybe Hanan didn't want to make her family worry, or indeed she deliberately kept it a secret because she felt that the master or mistress would never care about her."

"So, what should we do, Bi? Do we have to tell that to the ladies and gentlemen?"

"We have no right to interfere in this. Maybe there is a time when Hanan said it himself to the master and mistress," said bi Sumi. Shanum nodded in understanding.

"Yes already, Bi. I want to iron my clothes" said Shanum.

"If you're still tired, take a break. Let auntie iron."

"But, Bi, ..how about the big lady?"

"The big lady's done taking a bath, she's watching television in her room."

"Sumi .. Sumi," call Ms. Arimbi from inside her room.

"Yes, Madam," said bi Sumi. He then went into the room of the great madam. Not long after, he came back to Shanum.

"Mrs Arimbi called you, son."

"Why did the big lady call me? Did I make a mistake, Bi?"

Bi Sumi reviewed a thin smile.

"No need to worry, Madam Arimbi never gets angry for no reason. Maybe he just wants to talk to you, "he said.

"But, Bi, …"

"Here you go, just meet the big lady, she doesn't like waiting the most."

Although initially hesitant, Shanum finally obeyed bi Sumi's words.

"Per-mi-si, big lady" Shanum said after opening the door of the room near the dining room.

"Come in".

Shanum closed the door. He then circulated his gaze in the room that was quite spacious. A king-sized foam mattress with carved teak wood cots and oversized cabinets and a big screen television inside, what a comfortable room.

"What did the big madam call me? Did I make a mistake?"

"You don't have to be afraid of me, I'm calling you just to talk, sit down."

Shanum pulled out a chair and sat on it.

"Oh yeah, how's your snake-bitten leg? Is it getting better?" ask Miss Arimbi.

"Thank God has improved, madam. Thank you for telling bi Sumi to accompany me at the clinic last night."

Suddenly madam Arimbi observed Shanum's face.

"Your face reminds me of someone" he said.

"Really?"

"My father's name is Hisham, and my mother's name is Nuriyah."

"Are they alive?"

Shanum shook his head weakly.

"Dad and mom died when I was five. Since then I have been cared for and cared for by my grandfather."

"wait. What's your grandfather's name?"

"My grandfather's name is Yahya, Madam. He died about a month ago of illness."

"You are gone, Yahya," said Ms. Arimbi.

"Do the big madam know Grandpa?"

shanum asked curiously.

"Pick up the black box from the cupboard" said Ms. Arimbi, pointing her index finger at a cupboard in her room.

Shanum moved from his seat and approached the large cupboard.

"The box is in the bottom drawer" said Ms. Arimbi.

Shanum then opened the drawer and took the object that the mistress meant.

"See this photo." Madam Arimbi thrusts a photograph at Shanum.

"Who are the men and women in this photo, ma'am?"

"The woman is me, and the man is your grandfather, Yahya."

"Really?"

Madam Arimbi commented on the thin smile.

"When you were young, your grandfather was handsome, wasn't he?"

"Ja-ja-di, Mistress and grandfather, …"

"Your grandfather used to work in this house as the personal driver of my father and mother. I don't know why I fell in love with your grandfather who was five years above me. We also agreed to establish a relationship secretly even though in the end father and mother know it. They vehemently opposed our relationship until father and mother finally fired Yahya. Yahya had no choice but to leave this house and return to his hometown. Since then, it has been difficult to open my heart to other men. I hope one day Yahya comes back and takes me on the run with him. However, my wish never materialized until one day I heard such painful news if your grandfather married a girl who was also from his village. That was what made me numb. I just according to when my father and mother match me with a man of their choice," said Ms. Arimbi.

"I did not expect, it turns out that Madam and my late grandfather had such a close relationship in the past," Shanum said.

"Yes, and our relationship was hindered by the blessing of my parents."

The mood was silent for a moment.

"You're a good girl, if only your grandfather were alive, I wouldn't mind setting you up with one of my grandchildren."

"A-a-pa? Matchmade? I know who I am. I don't deserve to be part of this family. I don't think a village girl like me is the type for Rayhan, Hanan, and Adnan. I wish I didn't dare."

"As human beings, we cannot go before God's will. Maybe Yahya and I were not meant to be a match. But it is not impossible if you are sent by God to this house as the soul mate of one of my grandchildren," said Ms. Arimbi.

"Really, I don't dare to expect too high, because if you fall, it will hurt very much" Shanum said.

Madam Arimbi commented on the thin smile.

"Who knows the secrets of a soul mate. But, my little heart said that you were a match for one of my grandchildren."

"Stupid? What does Grandma mean?" asked Hanan who had suddenly entered the room of Madame Arimbi.
