Sharing Love: Red Stain of Marriage
Chapter 25. Zahra's Sadness

Zahra has been in the ICU for two days. Today his condition has improved a lot. Zahra has been moved to the inpatient room.

He's starting to realize. Both Albirru and Zahra's parents accompanied him. He looked weak and pale.

"Mas Al Mana, Umi." Zahra asked because there was no Albirru in the room.

Albirru is currently in one of the orphanages. He and the orphanage children held a tahlilan event for their dead children.

"Albirru again there is an event outside. How are you doing now, son. What do you feel right now?"

"My body feels so weak, Umi."

"What's sick?" umi Albirru.

"Nothing, just my stomach still hurts. Umi, where's my son? Is he healthy?"

"Now you don't think much. Think about your health."

"I want to see my son, Umi." Zahra begged Uminya again.

"Zahra, you're not healed yet."

"But I just want to see it."

Abi Zahra approached her beloved daughter and clasped her hand. He rubbed that hand.

"Zahra, you must know .. if every living thing will die. And every creation of His will return to Him again."

"Abi, just say it. What exactly happened."

The sound of knocking on the door distracts all attention. Albirru entered with a smile on his wife.

"Mas, Al .." said Zahra. Albirru approached his wife's bed.

"Which son, mas. It must be handsome!"

"Zahra, I'm sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize."

"Sorry, because our son cannot be saved" muttered Albirru.

"I mean, what?" Zahra. Tears began to drip from her cheeks.

"Zahra, you are patient and sincere. Don't mourn the dead."

"Everything must be a lie, isn't it. My son must have survived." Zahra's cries broke at last.

Albirru hugged his wife's body tightly. He also could not hold back his tears.

"Mas, it's all my fault. If only I hadn't gone in such a hurry I wouldn't have fallen."

"There's nothing wrong, it's all his destiny."

"I'm sorry, mas. I can't take care of her."

Zahra's cry broke even more in her arms. Albirru. For a few minutes Zahra began to look calm.

"You must be sincere, Zahra. For there must be wisdom behind all misfortune. And be assured that God will replace the better. You're young, you can still have offspring again."

"Why should I experience all this, Umi. What wrong. Why was my son taken back so quickly, I haven't had a chance to see him."w

"Zahra, listen to Abi" said Abi Albirru.

"Yes, Abi."

"According to a narration of Ahmad number 2934 which beebunyi, I heard Ibn Abbas say; I heard the Prophet said, “Whoever of my people has two faraths (the death of a child), I heard the Prophet's word, then he will go to heaven.” So ‘Aisha said; I am willing to make sacrifices with my father, what is the fate of having only one child die? He said, “So does one farath, o women who agree (goodness).” Aisha said again; How is your people who have no farath? He said, “Then I am a farath to my people, they never get calamities like my (death).

That's why you don't be sad, your son is the son of heaven."

Zahra nodded at Abi Albirru's words. After taking the medicine Zahra fell asleep again. Abi and Umi take Albirru to the hospital canteen.

"Abi ... Umi, I'll take Zahra for a second. I'm going to the cafeteria with Abi and Umiku." Albirru said goodbye before leaving with Abi and Umi.

"Please, son." replied Umi Zahra.

"If anything sooner call me, Umi."

"All right."

Albirru walks with Abi and his Umi towards the canteen.

They chose to sit in the back corner of the canteen. Albirru has ordered food. After eating food, the conversation continued.

"Nothing, Abi. I don't know where Zeya went. I think he's upset that I spent more time with Zahra."

"But this attitude is not justified in religion. A wife who leaves the house without permission from her husband, then he will sin a great sin" said Abi.

"I was wrong, I was only a few hours at the house when Zeya had to go back to the Zahra residence."

"Change, forget about Zeya. You just drop talaq for him."

"But Umi never saw a woman like Zeya."

"Where, Umi."

"In the city of P when Umi returned home with Abi."

"I'll try to find him."

"That can't be Zeya, Umi," Abi said.

"Why, Abi."

"The woman was pregnant, and also went with the man. He also uses the hijab" said Umi.

"That can't be Zeya. If she is pregnant."

"Abi also felt that it wasn't Zeya."

"Abi, am I a sinner."

"Why do you ask that, who knows you're a sinner or you're not just yourself."

"Why do my children always die before birth."

"Your children ... ? Have you ever had a child before?"

"Zeya also had a miscarriage when she first found out that Zahra and I were married.

"You never talked to Umi or Abi,"

"I just don't want to dissolve into the grief of losing my baby-to-be."

"There is nothing wrong with God's destiny. Everything that happens to our lives is written down and outlined in our lives."

They talked for a long time before returning to Zahra's nursery.

...................

After a week in custody Zahra returned home. Umi is still accompanying him until he can move again.

The night when he was going to sleep, Albirru saw a crying Zahra.

"Zahra, why are you crying."

"I still can't forget the departure of our son. Is this all punishment to me? "

"You can't think that, Zahra."

"Don't you ever say that Zeya miscarried when she found out we were married. "

"Yes, why."

"Is this karma to me because it was the cause of Ziya losing her baby? Is this a punishment for me for seizing the mas from Zeya's mother."

"You don't feel guilty like that. If something goes wrong, it's a. Who was never honest with you, who lied to you both."

"This may be a reprimand for both of us. Sister Zeya left the house too because of me. I never really wanted to have a full mas. But I am sometimes spoiled, and want to be next to me until I forget that I have a wife other than myself. I was too selfish. I want to meet Zeya and apologize for often making her sad and hurt."

"Mas also still hopes that Zeya will return to the house. That's why I keep signing him."

"Hopefully Zeya will be back soon."

"We both pray. Now sleep. Don't mind much."

Albirru brought Zahra to sleep in her arms.
