Before dying, Ani pleads with Faraz to return to Atifa, the wife he left behind.
"Bang, I want you to go back home to Atifa's sister.Send my apology to her." Said Ani with tears welling up in the corner of her eyes.
"I have sinned against him, perhaps the torment is upon me for robbing you of Atifa." Ani sobbed with her much thinner body even in just three weeks.
The food that goes into his stomach, will soon be vomited, he survives only drinking water without rice with vegetables that are pureed.
If the texture of the food is hard then Ani's stomach will return it to her esophagus.
The illness is strange, but that's how it is, they've tried their best to even inflict Ani at home, because the cost of hospitalization has drained their savings in an instant. Their lives are mediocre, while Faraz has to take care of their young son while maintaining a bicycle workshop that in a day sometimes no one comes to use his services.
"Here, I can't go back to Atifa, I even divorced her in a letter and allowed her to marry another man, maybe now she's happy with another man." Faraz Sahut.
"Then, at least please apologize if you meet him.please forgive me, so that I will no longer be tormented like this. I'm afraid all of our suffering is coming from Do'a sister Atifa across the street."
"You'll heal, Ani..."Tukas Faraz, his soul was torn to shreds but wasn't the rice a porridge?
"I dreamed a few nights, living in a dark room, seeing only the light from one slit of the roof. It's cold, it's cold. Then I heard the cry of the woman who called out the name of the Faraz bang from behind the cold wall. Really, I feel that maybe I've made Atifa's sister really suffer for what I did."
"It was just a dream, brother..."
"No bang Faraz, I have thought it out loud, the disaster of the floor plan, the trouble for the sake of trouble never ceases to follow us. Bang Faraz just go home to Atifa's sister, I no longer hold Faraz's bang to stay..."
"Sister..."
"This sin-based relationship will not work, depriving others of their happiness by hurting them, the punishment is more painful, even God is giving me this kind of torment in the world, I don't know what I would be like if it were later. I tried to calm down and not think about it but still couldn't..."
"Sir, everything is done, we can't look back anymore."
"No, bang Faraz, I've been imagining that if I hadn't done this to you, it probably wouldn't have been like this. If only I hadn't made you leave Atifa's sister, it probably wouldn't be this." By suppressing the pain in his stomach that began to run, Ani cried in Faraz's arms.
"I'm sincere Brother Faraz left, I won't make it harder for you again with a choice, I'll make it easy. We have to fix it even if it's a little late, I know it's wrong but Bang Faraz doesn't have to stay. I'm whatever my situation is, don't worry anymore. Adka is big enough, I have contacted the orphanage where I lived first, they are ready to accommodate Adka and me and Aqsa. I work there while fixing myself." Ani sniffled, regretting it was like burning half her heart.
"No Ani. I'll stay here, I'll stay with you, Adka and Aqsa, there's no place for me to come back. Atifa probably already hates me."
"Bang Faraz, the future I dreamt of faded to black, maybe I should love you another way. I just wanted to apologize to Atifa..."
That night before dawn, after the dawn prayer, which was imami by Faraz, Ani died in his arms still with a mukena complete by crying holding his stomach which he said hurt like in a stab.
...***...
Aisyah looked at her father's face lying on top of the hospital ward, already one day and one night after she collapsed in front of her house in the first meeting with Aisyah, Bram took her immediately to the hospital.
Doctors said Aisyah's father was in severe shock, plus her anemia was quite severe, so she was a little difficult to recover quickly.
Her father's face was completely different from the last time she saw him. The face was full of fine wrinkles, her skin was dull with sunburn with an unkempt frail body. In the past, his father's skin was clean and his clothes were always neat. Even Aisyah thought her father was the most handsome man in the world she had ever seen.
Slowly trembling, his fingers held his father's hand, skinny fingers with blackened nails.
A drop of her tears fell, she was like seeing how the suffering had smashed her father's life.
"Dad, what happened in your journey? Is it not more bitter than what I and my mother lived? Why does our life have to be like this, Dad? why does our family have to meet such great bitterness." Aisyah's lips muttered trembling.
There is no excuse just a regular sigh with his chest that goes up and down under a white blanket.
His father's hands were cold, he was like he was holding wood. The first time he actually touched the person he loved the most and hated in his life. Aisyah involuntarily caressed him.
How truly, he missed this man, day and night. Every time he said he hated his father, the same deep feeling of longing hit his chest.
Suddenly, his father's hand moved, he wriggled.
"Sister..." The father's brown lips moved slightly.
Aisyah was stunned for a moment and pulled her hand quickly while wiping her tears.
He sat up straight again, his eyes not separated from his father's movements.
"Dik Atifa..." Des4h Faraz shone without opening his eyes.
