Azizah was waiting for Aisha in front of her cubicle, she was sitting under a mango tree that had many of her fruits.

"Assalamualaikum,Lizah!"Asiyah said, Azizah immediately turned her head, looking at the woman who had just given her greetings.

"Glamma,Ning!"Azizah immediately stood up, and helped Aisyah to sit down.

The two of them briefly hugged each other, before the two sat back down.

"Congratulations Ning, over her pregnancy, I'm very happy.But, I feel guilty for inviting Ning to my wedding, if I knew Ning was pregnant, I wouldn't have invited Ning!"Said Azizah, in a lethargic voice, who felt guilty towards Aisha.

"I'm just going to be angry, if you don't invite me to your wedding.I also want to see my sister with a man who is so nice, you are lucky zah, you get ustaz Zaki!"Aisyah touched Azizah's face.However, it is seen from the netra Azizah if what looks is not the same as her heart.

"What's wrong?are you feeling restless?"Aisyah immediately guessed it, when she saw Azizah with a very beautiful netra.

"Mr..."

"Darling.."Azizah's words were interrupted, when Al came to call Aisha.

"Oh, Azizah yes, Assalamualaikum!"Hello Al,

"Glamma!"Sahut Azizah nodded.

"Honey, use this, says your doctor will be tired if sitting too long, this will help you more comfortable !"Said Al, giving void to Aisyah, Al also helped the wife to sit on the pillow.

"Thank you!"Al nodded, he retreated back into the room.

"That's how Azizah, Mas Al was very attentive, especially when I was pregnant like this, he was very caring for my condition and diet, sometimes I myself was confused, I am a wife or a patient !"He's..He's..He's..The sound of a small laugh came from Aisha's mouth, making Azizah smile.

"Why, then, do you talk about us.So, what azizah do you want to say to me?"Now that Aisha was holding Azizah's hand, she hoped Azizah would share her every problem with Aisha, she would gladly help her.

"Ning, if we had a past, would we tell that to our future husband, or would we rather keep his own?"Azizah asked in a nervous state, even her speech sounded so trembling.

"In a relationship that we will build together, it would be nice for us to tell everything to our future husband, because we ourselves do not want problems to come in the future,better to be honest now!"

"If he refuses to accept our past?"

"No one wants to accept the past, because everyone wants to forget the past, because if we continue to be in the shadow of the past, then our future will be disrupted in the future!"Aisyah.

Aisha felt Azizah's hands getting colder, Aisha was very sure if Azizah kept a secret from her.

"So Azizah, will you share your past with me, let's find a solution together, Ning ready to help Azizah!"Aisha clasped Azizah's hand tightly.

"Ning remember, I was hospitalized for three months!"Aisyah nodded her head, she recalled all those events.

"Astagfirefull!"Aisha held Azizah's shoulder.

"Azizah does not know, who should tell the bitter experience to him?Azizah was confused, Azizah was afraid, Azizah was frustrated, even Azizah was disgusted then to herself..."Aisyah immediately pulled Azizah into her arms, she gently rubbed Azizah's back to calm the woman.Even Aisyah could guess what her next would be told by Azizah to her.

"Say who's the guy who made you feel so bad?tell Ning Azizah!"Said Aisyah firmly.However, her hands still gently rubbed Azizah's back.

Azizah shook her head."Azizah did not know, who the man was, even Azizah did not remember him at all, at that time Azizah saw him in the faint under the rain so heavy.At first Azizah intended to help him alone, but....Hix..Hicks!"

"Here you don't have to continue!"Aisha wiped away the tears that were now soaking the veil of Azizah.

"Azizah, Ustaz Zaki know?"When Aisha mentioned the name of the man, Azizah cried again.

"Hiks...Hix..Ning, what should Azizah do?"Aisha held onto Azizah's two cheeks, she looked at the reddened netra, even Azizah could not help her crying, the pain Azizah had been saving for the past two years.

"The story will be all to ustaz Zaki, if he wants to accept you as you are then there will be no problems in the future.However, if you do not tell him now, if you do not tell him now,Ning was afraid Ustaz Zaki would find out on his own, and he would feel deceived by all of us!"Pungkas Aisha.

"Azizah doubted Ning, Azizah did not want this marriage to continue.However, Azizah did not want to make the mother's illness recur, Mother has a history of heart disease.Azizah also hid this all from the mother!"

"Azizah, listen, you just need to tell this to your future husband, you don't need to know, for the sake of the mother, but ustaz Zaki deserves to know dear, you have to tell it all to her!"

"Azizah will tell it all tomorrow to ustaz Zaki, Azizah is ready to accept any risk!"

"Good, you must be strong dear, Ning will always help you, don't hesitate to come to ask Ning's opinion!"Azizah nodded her head, she immediately hugged Aisyah back.

"Azizah, can Ning ask?"Azizah nodded.

"Did Azizah hate the man who did evil to Azizah?"

"Eeemmm"Azizah nodded,"Azizah hated her so much, even two years ago, every night her Azizah cursed the man, Azizah did not sincerely she snatched away Azizah's guilt forcibly, Azizah did not want Ning, she did not want to,Azizah is not ridho!"Aisyah nodded, and patted Azizah's shoulder gently, calming the woman down.

"Azizah even prayed to Allah, if Allah would punish the man, Azizah wanted him to have an accident that was more painful than Azizah felt, Azizah wanted him to feel the pain that Azizah felt,even Azizah cursed her she would kneel before Azizah's feet someday.Azizah wanted her to beg and apologize under Azizah's feet, that's the curse that Azizah always uttered two years ago!"Azizah looked towards Aisha.

Aisha knew, Azizah was not a bad person who said bad to others.However, the pain that Azizah endured for a lifetime was not comparable to the curse that Azizah said to the man.

"Darling, from now on, you must forget that incident, you must be able to recap whatever has happened, God willing, God will replace pain with pleasure multiplied to you dear!"

"Maddie..!Azizah also wished that way Ning!"Aisyah smiled, looking from her netra who was staring at Azizah.

"Assynoltom..."Both were surprised when they heard someone greeting them, and both turned to the source of the voice.
