Chapter 1
"Miss Azizah, you have myoma. And this is already very big. How could you not feel pain all this time?" ask a woman in a white uniform.
Hearing the name of the disease that was one of the most feared by the women, made Azizah's body stiffen. During this time he always endured the pain in his body, especially in the stomach. He did not think that the pain that had been felt was a dangerous disease.
"Ja-di, a-pa should we do, Doc?" ask Mr. Maulana—bapak Azizah.
"Should be operated on immediately" replied the doctor.
"Alright, Doc. We will talk to the other big families. When should the operation be performed. For three months Azizah will be married" Maulana said.
"Faster ... better," said the obstetrician.

When Azizah's thoughts were chaotic like this, she accidentally bumped into someone in the hospital hallway. The tall man kept Azizah's body from falling.
"Be careful, miss," said the shady-faced man.
"Irvansyah?" Mr. Maulana recognized the figure that had been hit by his daughter.
"Sir Maulana, how are you?" asked the man, extending his hand.
"Alhamdulillah, fine. What are you doing here?" reply Mr. Maulana while receiving a helping hand of his students first while still in Primary School.
"Walking my sick wife. It turned out to be young pregnant," said Irwansyah with a happy smile.
"You have become a father now, it turns out," said Mr. Maulana was happy.
"This is our second child, sir," said the man, known to many as friendly and kind.
"Alhamdulillah, father as a teacher you used to be happy, when you heard you were already a successful person. It turns out that your family is also happy," said Mr. Maulana with a smile featuring his teeth.
"Alhamdulillah, Sir. All of that is also because it is supported by my wife" replied Irwansyah. After that short talk, they separated.

"Banu, Azizah is currently suffering from myoma and must be operated on immediately. Would you like to ask me how you responded to this?" maulan asked her son-in-law.
"Just do your best according to the doctor, sir. I don't want anything to happen to Azizah" Banu replied.
"Then, what about your wedding? Will it be pushed or pushed back? ask Rosyidah—ibu Azizah.
"If, Azizah's body condition is not healthy right when getting married later, it should be postponed. Unless Azizah's condition is good, we will have a marriage according to the original plan" Banu replied.

Knowing her uterus had been removed, Azizah cried bitterly for several days. The pain from the incision of the scalpel, nothing compared to the pain in his heart. Now she is not a perfect woman because she will not be able to give offspring to her husband.
Knowing Azizah's womb was lifted and would not be able to give offspring, the Banu family broke their engagement rope. The reason is because Azizah is already disabled.
Already fallen down the stairs was the thing felt by Azizah at this time. She lost her womb and the man she had loved since college.
***
5 Years later ….
There are so many men who want to marry Azizah because she is a Muslim woman who is sholehah. The type of dream of men to find a future wife. However, they all immediately resigned once Azizah knew she could not give any offspring.
Like today, came a man and his family who wanted to propose Azizah. They are ready when the beginning comes. Until they knew Azizah's body condition.
"I'm sorry, we didn't ask Azizah. I want a normal daughter-in-law. Can give a child to my son," said a middle-aged woman who dressed neatly and was as beautiful as an official mother.
"It's okay, Mom. May the sons of Mother and Father soon get the best soul mate," replied Mr. Maulana.
Azizah just remained silent while looking down withholding a cry. Again such words were thrown from the mouths of those who came to his house. Their goal was originally to propel him. However, it would end up with insulting words for him.
Even though there are hundreds of people who want to propose to him and end up failing. Azizah always believed that God had created a partner for her. I don't know who that is? Or when will the soul mate be present?
The wounds incised by the men were healed by the smiles and laughter of his protege at PAUD. Where he devoted his knowledge for 7 years.
"Patience, Iza. Later there will be men who ask for you by accepting your shortcomings," said Mr. Maulana comforting Azizah.
"Iza knew that God created his creatures in pairs. Later when it's time, Iza's soul mate will come as well" said Azizah with a bitter smile.
"Although that's the case, I've always been proud of you, Iza. You always resolutely reject the men who want to marry you in series," said Rosyidah's mother while rubbing her son's back.
"Iza doesn't want any trouble ahead, ma'am. It's not our purpose to get married to perfect some part of our religion. If the man did not do so with that intention, Iza would not. By hiding a marriage it has proven that he married because of lust not because of God," said Azizah.
Hearing the words of the princess, Mr. Maulana and Ms. Rosyidah shed tears. They also felt the same pain as Azizah whenever there was a man who wanted to ask her. If they do not want to make as a mistress for sure they will refuse to continue the relationship and the existing even insult the shortcomings. Many of the striped men who were fascinated by Azizah's physical beauty and heart wanted to make her the wife of the series that was hidden from the first wife. Of course, this was always rejected by Azizah and her family.

"Kids before bed don't forget we have to …?"
"Pray!" shouted the children aged 4-5 years with compact.
"Printers. Let's what?" ask Azizah.
"Not bothered by the devil" replied one of the boys.
"Let it be guarded by angels" replied the daughter at about the same time.
The bell also reads a sign that teaching and learning activities for today are finished. Azizah ended it by praying together. Azizah, who was patient in teaching children, made herself liked by students and their parents.
"Heh, actors!" someone shouted as Azizah walked out the gate.
A woman with full makeup poured a glass of drink on Azizah's face. Of course everyone who was there was shocked to see the incident.

Will Azizah find happiness in her life? Wait for it to go, yeah!
Waiting for the next chapter. Yuk, also read my friend's work. The story is not good and exciting, you know.
