Layla oh Layla
I always thought she was simple and always had a happy life…
She always could make things interesting….
She always could make other think her life just so comfort and happy…
She taught me there were a lot of happiness in simplicity..
I always amazed by the way she saw her life..
Once time :
“Have you eaten?” “Come here join with us having some food”…
“No thanks I have eaten.. “
“What did you eat ?”
“I ate rice with “kerupuk”, and cucumber… “
I was wondering how the taste eating only with them …. But she said it as if she just ate very delicious meal…mashaAllah…
That day she taught me how grateful I am.. I spent too much money just for eat…
She always showed very much regret to see money spend for unimportant things…which some of us feel that just very common….
Another time:
“ Sister thanks for the chicken.. “
“It’s very delicious.. “
“I ate it with my husband and my brother in law…”
“Unfortunately I fried it too long.. So It’s bit too dry… and I added too much salt..”
I said: “But you said it delicious”
She smile shyly… and said
“I always consider everything which given by other delicious… “
She always showed great happiness anytime we gave her something…as if we became the most generous person on the earth…
She accepted anything that we gave with tear on her eyes to show how grateful she is..
The other time :
“Layla….lets eat outside… but we eat there”
“No I cant.. During these 5 years of my marriage I always eat with my husband, I can’t eat without my husband”.
Another sister told me that she even couldn’t force her to eat some of food… she just sit and stared at my friend eating… She just didn’t dare to eat delicious foods herself in fact her husband not join her…
MashaAllah… She loved her husband dearly…
Sometimes we asked her to sleep in house.. but she always said.. "I can’t away from my husband… I cant sleep if not beside him… "
She said…
"Sister. .My husband is very nice man.. "
"He was widower when I married him.. but he had divorced from his previous wife.. "
"I have good relationship with his ex wife… "
"He always wake up earlier, he would make some tea , clean, wash and sometime cook… "
"He can’t read and uneducated.. But I love him… "
"I grateful he want to marry with an ugly girl like me… "
"My mother in law love me so much…her house always cleans…that why I should always keep my house clean too…because Even if I was ugly but my house should look clean … "
MashaAllah she always said good about his husband and his family
Then finally…. Last night..
It was the peak of everything…
Those amazing stories just torn apart became a painfully stories…
I believe she just didn’t have way anymore to hide anything and really need someone to share
She was very sick… being so hurted…
She cried when saying … her life actually just full of pains
I could feel how broke her heart to tinny pieces…
She just found out if her husband cheat behind her..
He never divorced his first wife…
He lied … his parents also lied
All people back home considered she was a naughty girl who took someone else husband…
His wife spread bad things to her..she said bad things to her parents….
She worked hard as house maid but all money only for him..
She didn't have money on her hand.. in fact she the one who earnt most of them…
He always knew where she kept her money.. and dare to take it that away…
He used that money for his own pleasure… sometimes for gamble.. astaghfirullah…
She hurted to see how he treated his sister well but in other hand he even didn’t approve her tiny request…
She told a lot of sad memories which she tried to hide…
The peak of surprised… She said
He tortured her a lot of times…
He almost killed her… brought knife to threaten her..
He hit her, her mouth swollen
He forced her to work with low paid just few weeks after delivered her baby…
She was bleeding during work…
All her money that she search with her sweat had to send to his husband and his family
Even she didnt have money to send to her own parents who take care her daughter back home…
We used to think her husband love her too much until she always follow her when some time she came out to company me playing basket ball..
But in fact it's just because of his jealousy and over protected…
She acted that nice… to cover up the cruelity of her beloved one..
Love was blind….
She still loved him…
She maybe would never reveal about this if she was not really sick… physically and mentally and need a heart relieve her pains…
Lahaula walla quwata illa billah…

O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will; and you should not treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the Mahr you have given them, unless they commit open Fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse or disobey their husbands); and live with them honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing through which Allâh brings a great deal of good.
(Qur'aan Soorah an-Nisaa : 19)
