"Oh so, yes you have immediately taken the drug so as not to be severe" said Farida ma'am.
"Iya bun" Zahra breathed a sigh of relief as her problem was covered up.
He did not want to add to the burden of the family by adding to his household problems.
At night in the guest room, there where Zahra and Zein rest.
Hasna knocked on the door to meet her brother, and when she saw the door open a little, Hasna immediately entered because she thought the occupants of the room were also the same woman.
And how surprised Hasna was when she saw the older sister sitting in front of the mirror with a bruise around her lips.
"Astaghfirullah" Hasna could not help but sound.
Feeling that someone saw his wound, Zahra immediately grabbed the mask and put it on immediately.
"Sister, what's the big brother's lip?" hasna asked with her eyes beginning to look glassy.
"Hussssst, don't be loud" Zahra immediately locked the door and invited the sister into the room.
"Sister, tell me what's really going on?" ask Hasna urgently.
Unable to answer the sister's question, Zahra cried instead.
"Sister, sorry Hasna. Hasna didn't mean to make you sad. Hasna was only surprised by what Hasna saw"
the girl felt wrong.
Zahra held onto her chest and slowly took a deep breath to make her calmer.
"Yes, sister" replied his sister.
"Sister will be honest with you, but promise not to tell others. Brother does not want to add to the burden of father and mother after receiving news of household problems kak Najwa. So you don't tell me who it is, for brother's sake" Zahra said.
Hasna nodded slowly, although she was actually the least able to hide something from the mother. But this time he tried to be a trusted person to keep a secret of his brother.
" Both, Hasna will be silent. Tell me what really happened sister" Hasna said.
Slowly Zahra started to open her voice. By occasionally wiping away tears, Zahra recounted the incidents of domestic violence that her husband Abdul had committed on her.
Hasna again felt sad with the circumstances experienced by her brother Zahra, but at this time she was just enough to be a loyal listener to be able to do what. But at least she wanted to reduce the burden on her brother's heart by sharing stories.
"When did that happen, brother? why are you silent?" ask Hasna later.
"Since Zein was three months old. Brother could not do anything, because at that time Abdul always threatened to divorce his brother and leave us alone. Brother has no choice but to be quiet, because sister does not want to burden father and mother when Zein is still a baby and sister can not work because Zein is still breastfeeding" Zahra momentarily took a breath to regulate her feelings.
A few seconds later, he continued his story,
"Now Zein is bigger. He can already consume other foods and drinks besides breast milk. Intentions sister, brother came home this time want to be honest with your father and ask permission to leave Zein here because brother will look for work, but unfortunately the situation is not as you think. Brother couldn't possibly add a burden to them" Zahra shed tears again.
" Patience, brother must be strong. Is my brother planning to divorce Abdul?" ask Hasna .
"Yes, my brother has made up his mind and accepted if Abdul mas divorced his brother. And even if you're not divorced, you'll sue for divorce and report it to the police if you keep acting rude"
One bitter statement Hasna heard about a household made her even more fearful and would insist on rejecting her betrothal to Ali.
