2.1 SUMMARY
Azreen hurriedly leaves her studies in England to return home after receiving news that
her sister had died. On the way back to Malaysia, Azreen experiences flashbacks of her
early days with Madhuri. Madhuri was well-liked by people because she was beautiful
and soft-spoken compared to herself, who was an obstinate child. When she reached her
village where is located on an island south of Langkawi Island, her neighbour was talking
with her daughter about their other neighbour, Normala, who is spreading rumours
about the death of Madhuri. She said that Madhuri was murdered and she spilt white
blood. The women folk gossip among themselves that Madhuri was murdered and she
had put a curse on everyone on the island. Normala, the rumour monger, spreads
rumours about what had happened to Madhuri. Actually, before the death of Madhuri, the
village headman, Haji Ghani, became attracted to Madhuri and married her after that.
Awang, the bomoh, makes an appearance as he dreams that a disaster is about to hit the
village soon. Awang is the person that responsible for a chicken stealing at Mohan‟s farm
and causing a bull to escape. Asraf was blamed for the fiasco but Azreen bravely took the
blame on his behalf. The escaped bull knocked into the motorcycle that her parents were
on and caused her mother to be paralysed. Azreen looks for the Old Lady in the jungle
to catch up on old times. The Old Lady discloses that Madhuri was murdered. The Old
Lady relates to Azreen that she saw Madhuri‟s lifeless body and the wound on her. She
suggests that Madhuri‟s murder was covered up as investigation into her death would
reveal more secrets. The next morning, Azreen reads Madhuri‟s letter of her marriage
2. and relationship with Kak Fatihah (Haji Ghani‟s first wife). The letter also hints that
Madhuri has a secret to be revealed to Azreen when she returns home for her holidays.
Pn. Kamsiah and Normala are curious at the Old Lady‟s presence at Mohd.Asraf‟s house.
The Old Lady tries to cure Nek. When Azreen returns home, she sees the bomoh
scampering behind the bushes. As she confronts the bomoh, he informs her about the
mob incident at Mohd. Asraf‟s house. She immediately runs to Asraf‟s house. Normala
blames Azreen for bringing the Old Lady to Mohd. Asraf‟s house and causing heavy
downpour to hit the village. An argument starts and Azreen‟s father intervenes to stop the
commotion. Meanwhile, Nek is beginning to recover and Mohd. Asraf is extremely
relieved. They thank the Old Lady for bravely coming over to cure Nek and the rain
finally stops. Azreen awakes to a flurry of knocks on her door. She finds out that Nek has
passed away and Mohd Asraf is heading towards Nek‟s house with a few men for
revenge. Azreen tries to stop him and in a struggle, stabs him at the foot with a spade.
The torch that he was holding fell onto the wall of the house and soon the house was on
fire. Azreen finds Nek, barely alive lying beside the stove and she advises Azreen to learn
to forgive before it is too late. Azreen‟s father saves her before the whole house
crumbles. Mohd Asraf confesses to Azreen that he loves Madhuri and they were planning
to abscond from the island when he was offered a teaching course in Kuala Lumpur.
Madhuri wanted to confess to her husband, parents and Azreen about her affair with
Mohd. Asraf. However, Madhuri was found dead at a rubber plantation. Azreen then
meets Awang, the bomoh, who tells her that Madhuri was not her real sister. Awang also
confesses that he was the one who left the gate open that led to the motorcycle accident
that paralysed her mother. Awang also confirms that he had seen Madhuri and Mohd
Asraf together several times in the rubber estate. The chapter ends with Haji Ghani, the
headman thinking about his young wife meeting her lover on that fateful day when she
was killed. Azreen encounters a shadow of a woman from behind the wooden fence
again that directs her to a woodpile a few feet away behind her house. Azreen and her
father walk towards the woodpile and see a “parang” that Saleh used to chop wood. There
is white and sticky stain at the edge of the parang. Azreen immediately recalls Normala‟s
words “She had white blood” and she stares at her father in disbelief. Saleh recalls how
fond was he with Madhuri and how he found her as a baby at the paddy field. He
3. stumbles upon Madhuri and Mohd Asraf together at the rubber plantation. In his fury, he
kills Madhuri and her body knocks over the latex-filled container. Upon hearing this
revelation, Azreen runs away from her father. His father suffers a heart attack and dies.
These are some relation to the real world found in the novel:
The message of love is reiterated throughout the story. Parental Love: Both Saleh
Abdullah and his wife love Madhuri dearly like their own biological child. Azreen‟s inner
conflict to garner her father‟s love and affection. She always perceives the father as
having greater love towards her sister, Madhuri. Mohd. Asraf and Madhuri secretly loves
each other that eventually led to Madhuri‟s death. Unrequited Love: • Azreen had a crush
on Mohd. Asraf during school days.
Before the Old Lady draws her last breath, she advises Azreen to forgive others. When
Azreen discovers that it was her father who murdered Madhuri, she felt no anger or
resentment towards him. This shows forgiveness.
In real world there are many cases of violences against women. Some men believe
women to be the weaker sex and they are violent towards them. For instance, the Old
Lady‟s husband was abusive towards her and repetitively abused her. He hit and kicked
her.
There are many gender Stereotyping in real world. Through the novel, gender
stereotyping is portrayed through how females should behave. This can be seen
especially through Azreen. For example, Azreen‟s school friends start to cast suspicious
eyes towards her when she behaves unlady-like. She plays hockey with the boys and even
“laughs like a bunch of hyenas” with them. To them, as a woman, Azreen is not expected
to be tomboyish and hangs too closely with boys.
The other real world relation in the novel is belief in the supernatural The villagers seem
to believe in supernatural. For example, many villagers call upon Awang, the village
shaman to avert disasters. In another instance, Puan Normala tries to convince the
villagers that the village is cursed since Madhuri‟s blood is white.
4. We always fear to the unknown.In this novel, the villagers are puzzled about how
Madhuri died. However, no one actually investigates the incident which is covered up
well by Haji Ghani and his followers. In another instance, the villagers assume that the
Old Lady is an evil witch that can turn anyone into squirrels or rats. Due to this
assumption, the villagers outcast the Old Lady.
This novel makes me to remember to the legendary character „Mahsuri‟.
b. Mahsuri was the daughter of a Thai couple who moved from their native Phuket to
the island of Langkawi in search of a better life. She was the most beautiful in all of
Langkawi and married the warrior Wan Darus. Her husband had to go to war, leaving
Mahsuri behind. Mahsuri befriended a young man named Deraman. The village
chiefs wife was jealous of Mahsuris beauty. She spread a rumour that Mahsuri was
unfaithful and was having an affair with Deraman in the absence of Wan Darus.
Eventually the rumours grew strong enough that the villagers openly accused her of
adultery. Though, Mahsuri pleaded her innocence, but no one believed her. Mahsuri
was to be tied to a tree (or pole) and stabbed to death but it did not work. After every
execution attempt failed, she told them to kill her with her familys keris. When she
was stabbed, white blood flowed from the wound, signifying her innocence. Before
dying, she cursed Langkawi for seven generations of bad luck. Many locals of
Langkawi believe the legend to be true, citing the decades of failed crops that
followed Mahsuris death. Langkawi was also attacked by Siam numerous times.
The novel is also has connection to my personal life as my character in children time
is same to azreen. I like to play with the boys because of my unlike-lady. Azreen‟s
school friends start to cast suspicious eyes towards her when she behaves unlady-like.
She plays hockey with the boys and even “laughs like a bunch of hyenas” with them.
Same with me! To them, as a woman, Azreen is not expected to be tomboyish and
hangs too closely with boys. This also happened to me. Just like Azreen I always feel
that my father did not love me as he love my siblings. My father is also as fierce as
Azreen‟s father.
