Painful Marriage
CHAPTER 40

🌹HAPPY READING🌹

As they said yesterday, now they are all on a flight to Yemen, including Kenzo. Ibra had prevented Dee and the others from joining, but if fighting women was useless, finally Ibra allowed Dee and Sofia to follow him to Tarim.

"We are His Mother!" strong words come out of Dee and Sofia's mouth when Ibra and Kevin forbid them to come along.

Al, Bella, Kina and Aska were not allowed to participate by Ibra. Ibra asked Al to stay to monitor the company. While Kina is not allowed because of her pregnancy which is still very vulnerable.

Kina lives with Aska, her husband. Dee asked Kina to rest a lot. This extremely protracted problem would have disrupted Kina's pregnancy if she couldn't limit her activities.

After a very long journey, they all reached Tarim City. The holy city now seems very messy due to the disaster that befell. The flood waters have begun to recede, but the remnants of mud and garbage are still scattered.

"Welcome, sir," said Ibra's men who welcomed their arrival.

"Where's the refugee?" ask Ibra without further ado. Believe me, his heart was currently filled with deep worry.

"Let's come with us, sir," said Ibra's men.

Ibra. They all followed Ibra's men to the refuge.

Sofia's hand clasped Kevin's hand tightly during the trip. Kevin turned his head and gently rubbed his wife's hand. "Believe in good things, dear. You are a mother, your good thoughts and feelings are very useful for Zahra at this time" said Kevin softly.

Sofia nodded even though her heart was filled with doubt.

Kenzo looked around the road they were on. It looks very dirty due to the flood. "Sorry, may I ask you a question?" kenzo said to Ibra's men who walked in front of them.

They all turned on Kenzo. "Please, sir," said Ibra's men.

"How high is the flood?" ask Kenzo.

Ibra's men seemed to be breathing slowly. They were all waiting for the answer he would give. "Two centimetres above me, sir," replied the son of Ibra.

Kenzo looked at Ibra's men with a glazed look from top to bottom. Wait almost the same as Kenzo. As for Zahra, if standing Zahra will only be as bad as Kenzo. Zahra uses a wheelchair and Kenzo cannot imagine what happened.

"Continue the way!" ibra said firmly to stop the thought of worrying them all.

Ibra's men nodded. They continued their footsteps to the refugee camp.

Ten minutes on foot, they finally arrived at the refugee camp. Dee's eyes keep rolling looking for the whereabouts of Yana, his best friend. All the women use the veil, including Dee and Sofia. They used a veil when they got out of the plane.

A few seconds circulating his gaze, Dee's eyes stopped at the figure of the woman sitting at the end of the refugee tent with a small Qur'an that could not be separated from his grasp.

Dee walked following his gaze. Ibra and the others just saw what Dee was going to do. Dee patted the woman's shoulder gently.

Yana who felt a pat on her shoulder turned her head.

"Yana," call Dee.

Yana's tears just fell as she recognized the voice of a woman close to her. "Dee," said Yana hugging Dee tightly.

"Sorry Dee. I neglect to keep your trust," said Yana regretfully.

Ibra and the others saw all of that. They walked over to Dee and Yana.

"It's not your fault, Yana. We must pray that Zahra is okay" Dee said.

"How did you and Zahra get separated?" sofia asked softly to Yana.

Kenzo with all his strength held back his tears. She approached Yana but gave a little distance in honor of Yana as a woman. "Is there any chance my wife will survive?" ask Kenzo sissily.

"Wife?" parrot Yana. For all she knew, Zahra was a widow.

Kenzo and the others nodded. "I am Zahra's husband" said Kenzo, holding all the tightness in his heart. Whether or not she deserves to be referred to as a husband after what she did.

"Isn't Zahra a widow? She told me she was a widow" Yana told Zahra.

Kenzo shook his head strongly. "She is not a widow, she still has a husband. My wife will only be a widow if I'm gone" Kenzo said in a trembling voice.

Ibra and Kevin, who saw the sincerity of each Kenzo speech, were only able to wipe the corner of their eyes that had runny. That once arrogant man, has he really changed? Or is it just temporary? The same question just popped into the minds of Kevin and Ibra.

"Do you have a great love for Zahra?" ask Yana.

"Very. Even I love him more than anything" said Kenzo nodding confidently.

"Keep being prejudiced. Because of your good prejudices, that's what's going to happen to Zahra. Want to know the one thing Zahra said about you?" said Yana sad who was immediately replied to a nod of the head by Kenzo.

"The father of the son of Zahra was a wise man" said Yana repeating Zahra's words she heard while Zahra was alone in her room.

"That's the word Zahra always said when rubbing her stomach. As if to tell his son, that you are a very good man," continued Yana who was able to make Kenzo's heart feel hit by thousands of needles. The dagger and the bamboo blade were as if piercing deeply in his heart.

The angel I wasted, I beg you to hold on and return to this foolish man. Please congratulations, Zahra. Inner Kenzo.

"Excuse me, madam" said one of the women's rescue teams approaching Yana. Only Yana and Dee understood their language. And others are not.

While talking to Kenzo earlier, Yana used her skills in Indonesian, so that Kenzo would understand what she was saying.

Yana rubbed the clear water around her eyes. "Is there any good news?" yana in Yemeni. All those who were there were still waiting for the answer they would give.

"We found the wheelchair you were referring to?" said the woman.

"How's it going?" tanya Dee fast in Yemeni.

The female rescue team stared at Dee. "His wheelchair was destroyed. And we found a small bagbih still intact in the wheelchair handrails," said the woman gave the prayer beads.

Their eyes were all perfectly rounded. It was Zahra's prayer beads. Dee remembered very well, this was the prayer beads he gave Zahra during Zahra's fifteenth birthday.

"Dee" said Sofia, questioning the truth of everything.

With tears in her eyes, Dee looked at her family one by one. "They found Zahra's wheelchair had been destroyed, and only this prayer beads were intact in Zahra's wheelchair handrails, hiks," Dee told them all.

"Can we go to that place now, Umi?" ask Kenzo sissily. He wanted to make sure of everything himself. His heart was strong that Zahra would definitely survive.

"Can we go where you found this thing?" ask Dee to the woman.

The woman nodded. They all walked out of the shelter and walked to the location where Zahra and the prayer beads were found.
