My Little Wife Fatimah's
35. Tombs

When Dad went to the toilet, Fatimah used the time to chat with her mother to discuss about her family.

"Mother, Fatimah wants to ask something very important," said Fatimah staring at the mother.

"What dear?" ask mother.

"The mother said my biological parents are dead, if that's true I want to know where Bun's grave is" said Fatimah with teary eyes.

"Sorry mother Fatimah, it is not your intention to lie to you all this time, but you are afraid you are sad," said mother stroking her daughter's head.

"No, it's not my fault, I just want to know the name of my biological parents and where Bun's grave is" said Fatimah, hoping to make a pilgrimage to her birth parents' graves before she left.

"For a while, yes" said the mother who walked towards the room to pick up something.

Soon after, she brought back a photo of the Fatimah family 17 years ago.

"This is a photo of your family Fatimah, this is the only thing your mother has as a relic of your late mother," explained the mother while showing the Photo to Fatimah. In the photo there is Fatimah who is still a baby, his father, his mother and also a boy. "This boy who's Bun?" ask Fatimah who noticed the boy in the photo.

"That was your real brother Fatimah, but you didn't know about the child, because before you met your mother, someone had already adopted your sister, your mother used to be too afraid of her illness, so she could not afford to raise her children" explained Mother whose eyes glazed over.

Fatimah was curious and wanted to be met with her brother if he was still alive. "Mother, where is my parents' grave," asked Fatimah

"The place is not far from here, later if you want to go there, Rahman will take you," said the mother.

Fatimah daydreamed on the porch of the house, "O Allah, I wish I could meet my brother, if he were alive, and if you call me Lord, I hope all my loved ones remain happy even without me" the dreamy inner Fatimah.

Suddenly Sarah came startling Fatimah, "Dicariin even daydreamed here," said Sarah while sitting next to Fatimah.

Fatimah was startled and stopped by her daydream, "Sarah, what's wrong?" father of Sarah.

"Fatimah, how I am nervous yes, you are also married yesterday" asked Sarah who hopes advice from Fatimah.

Hearing that Fatimah even smiled considering her who used to hate the marriage very much, but now she really loves her household, but circumstances lead her to leave with her illness.

"Anyone must be stubborn when getting married, because the marriage is expected only once in life" Fatimah explained to her brother.

"Yes too anyway, anyway later pasirah you should always be beside me yes," said Sarah while hugging Fatimah.

"Yes, sister" replied Fatimah who held back tears, "Sister, maybe on the wedding day it was my last day with brother," Inner Fatimah.

The next day, the,

Fatimah and Rahman visited the graves of Fatimah's parents.

Fatimah who visited the graves of her parents could not hold back her tears as if she complained of all her pain, "Father, mother, your daughter may soon follow," Fatimah's heart broke into tears.

"Honey, don't cry, you have a family that loves you very much at this time, I will take care of you to the end of my life" Rahman said, hugging Fatimah.

Fatimah could say nothing more, she could only cry in Rahman's arms.

That night Rahman and Fatimah had dinner together, and suddenly Fatimah's words startled Rahman, "Son, if one day you want to marry again, I don't pa pa kok," said Fatimah who suddenly started a strange topic for Rahman.

"Astaghfirullah Fatimah, when all of a sudden you say that anyway, I will never marry another woman," Rahman said seriously.

"If I were called the creator first, would you also be faithful to the widower?" ask Fatimah

"Kok you discuss the situation anyway Darling, the point is you are the only woman in my life," Rahman said staring at Fatimah.

Fatimah felt pain in the head, she tried to cover from Rahman, "Sister, I have finished eating, I went to my room first, yes" said Fatimah who immediately walked to her room.

Fatimah endured her pain, unwilling to make Rahman worry.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Fatimah opened the door, and it turned out that the one who came was Lilis. "Why can you come here at night like this?" asked Fatimah who was shocked to see Lilis suddenly enter her room.

Fatimah locked the door to her room.

"I know you must be in pain Fatimah, I don't stop thinking you know, this I brought medicine from the doctor yesterday, this only serves to reduce your pain," lilis said as she gave Fatimah the medicine.

"Thank you Lis, you're the only one who knows my situation, I don't know what to do if there's no you" Fatimah told Lilis.

"You're my friend Fatimah, I'm sure I'll take care of you, oh yes what is your decision, you want surgery?" ask Lilly seriously.

"I'm going away from Rahman's life and my adoptive family" Fatimah said

"You mean? where are you going Fatimah?" ask the curious Lilis.

"I have to leave them, I promised Sofia, if I stay with Rahman, she will leak secrets about my illness, she gave me conditions, if I go from Rahman's life then he will keep this a secret" Fatimah explained at length.

"Sofia who the hell? let me talk to him" said an irritated Lilis.

"Don't Lis, after all he's right, if I stay by Rahman's side, maybe it'll ruin his good name, he's a gentleman, not worthy to have a wife like me," fatimah said with tears.

Lilis no longer know what to say, "Terupon you, which obviously I will not let Sofia disturb you," said Lilis.

"I'll go far, but I don't know where to go" complained Fatimah.

"You must be treated immediately by Dr. Fatimah, I do not want your condition to worsen, you must continue to seek treatment, I will take you to one of the best hospitals, it just so happened that my bude house was near it," said Lilis who offered help to Fatimah.

"Thank you Lis, I really owe a lot to you," Fatimah hugged Lilis.
