Painful Marriage
CHAPTER 39

🌹HAPPY READING🌹

After learning all the information from his men, Ibra, Kevin and Kenzo returned with uncertain feelings.

Kenzo returned home with a broken heart. It hurts even more than being betrayed by our loved ones. Tomorrow he must prepare to go to catch up with Zahra. Looking and making sure yourself, that Zahra should be fine.

Kenzo entered the house with a shunt. His steps were fixed on Zahra's restroom under the stairs.

Kenzo laid his body on the thin, small mattress that Zahra had once used for his bed. "Please take care of yourself, dear. Please hold on for me and our child who is in your womb" Kenzo said.

Kenzo took out his wallet and took out a photo of Zahra that had long been in the wallet.

"Hiks, don't be angry for too long. Don't go too far, I'm here with all my deep regrets. Please be fine, dear," said Kenzo softly in a trembling voice.

Kenzo expresses all his feelings in a cry he can't stand.

.....

Ibra and Kevin arrive at Ibra's residence. Dee who saw the arrival of her husband immediately approached them.

"Which other where, dear?" ibra asked when she saw Dee alone sitting in the living room.

"Udah rest, Mas. Kasian, so I told you to take a break. Kasian, later their energy runs out because it is too sad," said Dee.

"Then I go to the room first, Ib, Dee," Kevin said to Dee and Ibra.

Ibra and Dee nodded in agreement with Kevin. Ibra and Dee live in the living room. "Where did it go, my dear? Zahra's fine, isn't she?" dee asked after Kevin's departure.

Ibra sighed softly. He sits on the couch and is followed by Dee. "The house where Zahra lived was the worst affected area, dear," Ibra said.

Dee could already guess this. He had prepared his heart to hear all that Ibra was about to say.

"Is Zahra in a refuge, Mas?" tanya Dee hesitated.

Ibra looked at Dee who was sitting next to her. She hugged the woman who always gave her peace.

"Zahra is not with Yana, dear," said Ibra.

Ibra hid her face in the recess of Dee's neck. Muffling the roaring cries that will come out because of all the things that befall his son.

Dee closed her eyes briefly dampened her heartache. His hand gently rubbed Dee's back. "Mas, don't be whiny" said Dee trying to smile but with a trembling voice holding back her cries.

"Truly I never imagined, baby. This past mistake made one of my children suffer" Ibra said.

"Mas, can you not reveal the past? It will hurt us all" Dee said softly.

"Hiks, I'm a failed father to my children, honey," said Ibra, crying like a child complaining to her mother.

Unable to see her husband like this, Dee hugged Ibra very tightly. The trauma experienced by Ibra regarding the past and all his mistakes are still very much in his heart. And if things were like this, that guilt would always be there. The regret is not completely gone.

"If there were no mistake, Zahra would not have lived this way. Defects from birth, lives alienated from friends for lack of them, and lives with a husband who even treats her like an animal. My son isn't that cool, is he, honey?" ibra said with a trembling voice.

"Zahra is like a child born only to receive karma for my mistakes, my dear. Zahra shouldn't be like this. Her life should be happy, right?" ibra said crying in Dee's arms.

"Mas, no child is born just to accept evil, Mas. There must be great wisdom behind all this" Dee assured Ibra.

Ibra releases her hug on Dee. "Why God isn't always with Zahra, dear. He left Zahra with all the bad luck. May I question his existence for my son, dear?" ibra asked softly looking in Dee's eyes.

"Istighfar, Mas, say a lot. It's not appropriate for you to talk like that" Dee said, warning Ibra of any prejudice against its creator.

"Zahra never complained about everything he went through, Mas. Why then are you questioning the existence of God for Zahra? Even Zahra's faith alone is greater than yours, Mas" Dee said firmly. He did not like all the words of Ibra which sounded like doubting their Creator.

"I don't think I'd be able to bear to witness Zahra's pain, honey. If possible, leave everything to me, not Zahra," said Ibra with her head lowered in muffling her crying voice so as not to disturb other family members.

"Mas, that means Zahra is a strong boy. Zahra is the handmaiden of choice who is given a higher degree above us. All the trials and trials that exist, Zahra managed to pass it very patiently, sincerely and rigidly Mas. We have to believe, for now Zahra will be fine. Zahra has always been in the protection of God, Mas" Dee said.

Ibra hugged Dee very tightly. "It feels very painful, seeing a very tough girl that must undergo the test of life like this. Very painful, dear," said Ibra Pilu.

Without them noticing, Al and Bella watched everything from the direction of the kitchen. Their eating stopped when they heard Ibra's slightly muffled cry. Even Al couldn't help but cry at Bella. "Zahra, honey," said Al.

Anyone who witnessed all of this would definitely feel a very deep sadness. The husband who always made her happy and made her smile, now feels very sad over everything that happened.

"Mas, you must be strong for our family. If you're like this, then who will strengthen our parents and younger siblings?" bella asked to calm Al down.

"We will always pray for Zahra's salvation, Mas. Now we go to the room, yeah. Later Abi and Umi know if we hear everything," said Bella invites Al to immediately leave the kitchen.

Al nodded. She wiped her tears and immediately took Bella to return to their room.

.....

Yana sat anxiously in the female refuge. His tears incessantly drenched his cheeks considering Zahra's condition.

"Have my son been found?" yana asked in Yemeni to one of the rescue teams.

"I'm sorry, we didn't find any sign of a woman with the characteristics you described earlier. It would be very difficult to find him if he was dragged by a flood that was quite felt. It is unlikely that she will survive" said one of the women's rescue teams.

Yana shook her head strongly against every word the woman said. "You are not God who determines a man's life. I believe God saved my son. He's a special servant, he's a special servant. Please, don't stop looking for my son's whereabouts" Yana said grudgingly by clenching her hands together in front of her chest.

The female rescue team gently rubbed Yana's shoulder. "You are right, only God can take a life. We will continue to search for your son. Hopefully we can find her in good condition" said the woman with deep concern.

"Thank you" Yana said sincerely.
