The Repentance of the Abject Woman
121 Friends of the Past

As soon as Zee saw the woman's face, Zee was shocked instead of playing.

"Oh Allah, Sasha...!!"

call Zee who instantly makes all eyes on him.

"Oh Allah is this true Sasha?!" Zee repeated his question, and the weak woman raised her head to see who recognized him.

The weak woman looked at Zee closely.

He tried to remember but could not remember.

Zee sat crouching next to him while looking at his poor condition.

"You're right, Sasha, right?" ask Zee to make sure

The woman just nodded

"Oh, what is the matter with you? Why is your condition like this?" Zee held onto her shoulder which was soaked with sweat pouring out

"Mom don't hold hold her, she's carrying a disease later can be contagious to the mother" said one of her employees who asked Zee to step back a little and take off her touch.

"Why, what disease do you mean?"

Adam grabs Zee's shoulder and asks her to stand up.

He does not want what his employees say really happened, contracting what other diseases in the condition that is currently pregnant.

"Darling, you know him?" whispers Adam

"Yes, I know. She's my old coworker Sasha"

"You sure?"

"Yes, pity him. Bring him inside, you know, I want to know why he got here in such a state, can ya mas?"

"All right"

Adam then asked all employees and buyers to disband.

"My wife knows this woman, so please no longer crowd. Sorry if this makes you uncomfortable shopping, now let me and my wife take care of it.

Please continue with your groceries"

One by one they began to disperse but not with his readings.

While walking away their partner still glanced sharply at Sasha.

Zee helps Sasha stand up and takes her to Adam's room.

Sasha sat down and gave him a drink.

"Who are you?" sasha asked with her weak voice

"You don't remember me, I'm Zee"

"Zee's? Zee who?"

"I'm Zee, we used to work for a Frenky club in Jakarta, remember?"

Sasha closed her eyes and tried to remember, knowing that they had not met for years and after meeting Zee had used closed clothes to look more beautiful with her hijab.

"We're Zee? Did ya? I can't even recognize you anymore. You look a lot different than you used to be, you look so Sholeha with your current appearance"

"Yes, Alhamdulillah. My life is so different now than it used to be, thanks to my husband"

"He...he's your husband?"

"Yes, he's Adam's name and this is our shophouse"

Sasha remembered it, and Zee was grateful for it.

Adam sat quietly listening to them.

"Why are you here? And why were those people able to swarm you?"

"Saaj... Wh why? let's tell you the story, papa ain't it"

"I. e. I ran away from Jakarta" he said stammering.

"Snow? why?"

"My career in Jakarta has been destroyed. My life's a mess, I'm dirty, I'm disgusting Zee. My life has no use" said Sasha, who began to cry

Zee didn't understand why Sasha said that.

Zee then asked Sasha more deeply, although at first he was embarrassed and hesitated to tell Sasha frankly.

The existence here now because he escaped from Jakarta.

Sasha used to only work at his club Frenky, because indeed he could not get another job.

At first she enjoyed her profession of being a comfort woman, but now she began to reap what she had been doing all along.

Sasha is now suffering from HIV disease, everyone who recognizes her one by one starts to leave her.

Sasha now no longer has a lot of money, because the results of his work have been drained for treatment.

Even he is now no longer able to go to the doctor and only rely on drugs from pharmacies.

Therefore, it was the people who swarmed him for fear of HIV disease that he suffered will be transmitted to others.

"Astaghfirullah's... You are patient Sha" said Zee while stroking his chest after hearing the story from Sasha

Adam shook his head and also beristighfar, he rubbed his face rough because he felt sorry for his wife's friend.

"HIV is not airborne, is it?" zee asked Adam, and Adam only replied with a nod

"O Allah, Sasha, how did you get HIV? astaghfirullah's..."

"You know Zee, that's my job. It's common for me to serve striped-nose men. But..."

Sasha's words came to a halt and made Zee curious

"But what is Sha?"

Sasha then continued her story at length.

Ever since Zee reported Frenky to the police, Frenky has held a grudge.

As he tries to find an opportunity for revenge, Zee disappears from Jakarta and decides to leave the entertainment world.

It makes Frenky turned 180° more cruel.

Frenky no longer appreciates women. As an outlet for her grudge against Zee, Frenky had all her female servants be willing to serve all the men who came that night as well, including Sasha.

Sasha who is forced to serve every night 5-6 striped men from the young to the old.

Sasha became the target and primadona because of the weakness of his body.

And now that Sasha has been convicted of HIV, Frenky kicks her without giving her a dime.

Sasha is now living a long life, and she chooses to go and live in a place where no one knows her.

Hearing the story from Sasha, Zee took a deep breath.

He did not know what else to say to calm Sasha, because Zee knew nothing could calm him down in his current condition.

"My life won't be long, Zee. It's over. My life is so tragic." said Sasha.

"Mom... Don't talk about it, Sha. Not good"

"What's good about me is Zee, I'm the dirtiest, most disgusting human being in the world" Sasha said with tears in her eyes

Without feeling the tears Zee also flowed on his cheeks.

So did Adam, he got up and stood by the window wiping his tears.
