PETALING JAYA: Less than 24 hours after her marriage was
solemnised, Fatin Nursyahirah Yusuf passed away.
She married her beau, known only
as Azzam, on Friday morning. Sadly, Fatin Nursyahirah succumbed to cancer early
the next day.
She had been suffering from stage
four sarcoma cancer.
Shukur Yusuf, 30, who documented
his sister’s wedding on Facebook, said Fatin was admitted to hospital after
Friday prayers when her breathing deteriorated.
When contacted by mStar Online, Shukur said
his 24-year-old sister, affectionately known as Kakak (big sister), had
undergone two surgeries and radiotherapy sessions since last year.
But the cancer had already
spread.
“She was inconsolable. I tried to
encourage her even when I was crying myself,” he said, adding it was his
sister’s dying wish to go on with the wedding.
Azzam and Fatin were engaged in
June last year, and Shukur said both of their families agreed to go on with the
wedding despite Fatin’s condition.
“We were very moved by Azzam and
his family’s sincerity who accepted an ailing person to be part of their lives.
“After the solemnisation
ceremony, we felt grateful and relieved that they were able to be united as
husband and wife, even if it would just be for a short while,” he said, adding
his sister looked beautiful during the ceremony.
He also wrote in his post that
the simple ceremony was attended by family members, witnesses and the kadi.
Shukur said his family has
accepted Fatin’s passing as part of God’s plan.
“She was a happy-go-lucky person.
But she would keep her problems to herself as she never wanted to trouble
anyone. That was Kakak,” he said.
