The history repeats itself

Salam w.b.t and hi all,
I am writing to you guys from the rig - Noble Houston Colbert (NHCO). I arrived yesterday afternoon.
I had lunch and quick meeting with the other MLWD, then had a H2S Drill. At 2.30PM, lay down in the bed while waiting for time to see the Safety Officer. The reason is to get Wifi password.
Then, in 15 minutes I got the Wifi password then there you go. Phone connected and many notifications came in. One of it is a picture in my family Whatsapp group.

I don't understand at first, and I asked them what is this. Then split second after that, I caught the meaning.
It is happening - again. My sister, Angah is not in a good condition again.
I was calmed at first. I decided to call home. I spoke to Angah, asking what happened and all.
She explained the situation calmly and sounds sad, of course. Only our grandfather (Atok) knows about this so far. They went to see the doctor yesterday morning and shared the news with me afterwards, one hour after I arrived at the rig.
She told me, couple of days back, she went to the clinic at first with my youngest sister - Adek, and the early analysis the doctor said she is pregnant - visual analysis. I know she is not. Doctor felt skeptical or doubt to do further check up since there is no guardian, so, the next day (yesterday) my mother came along. Brought all her medical history and show to the doctor. Then, asked for full scan.
The doctor confirmed, it is a Cyst.
She said, that's when it is confirmed the history repeats itself.
Herself does not feel good, feel hardened in the stomach part, pain, and her period cycle is uncertain. Similar situation happened back in 2016, if I am not mistaken. I was not at home when she undergone surgery at this time. They had to remove one of her ovary, and this time it takes place at her second.
We (woman) only have two, without it, the chance of having kids is nil.
For me, my concern now is her health status and her progress. Also, my mother.
The internet connection was sucks! The phone line keep disconnected. I tried to listen and I had to call many times, and all three different numbers to reach them.
Then, I talked to my mother. She sounded strong at first, I told her, don't worry. I asked her to tell me, if I need to come back. I feel an idiot and selfish when I asked this question. How come I can ask this question..I should be there, with them.
I am dumb - no argument.
Basically, she said, "Benda jadi, kita kena hadapi. Mak tak nak operate, nanti dah takde apa-apa. Cubalah ubat cara ini dulu. Dulu dah buang satu, ini tinggal lagi satu".
"Kalau akak balik pun, takde menda boleh buat. Benda ini bukan boleh dipaksa-paksa keluar".
That's when I can no longer hold my tears. I felt useless. She also cried and immediately passed the phone to my youngest sister - Adek. Then ended the conversation, I told her to take care and let me know if anything. Don't hide it.
I tried to sleep.
Victor (the manager) called this morning, and I asked him how long is he planning to hold me here at the rig - 28 days? He said, no. They are waiting for this MWD to get the paperworks done and I will be relieved in one week. He asked me about my whereabouts previously, my vacation etc. I told him I was at rig Hak-10 for a month, had a vacation in May. I felt reluctant at first, but then I told him I received a bad news from home yesterday. It will be best for me to stay in town instead of at the rig, and if anything I can travel home immediately.
Then he said, give him 5 days. No problem. The reason I told him in advance because I am not planning to put myself in a situation where I will not be able to make a choice later on.
Honestly, I cannot focus.
Three weeks ago, I told my mother, I don't feel good. I don't feel happy, worry. I feel there is something in my heart, that I don't know what cause it. I felt bad. I asked them to be honest, whether everything is good at home. My family especially my mother always try to keep a secret as she does not want me to worry. At that time, she said everything is fine except she is worried as my sister - Angah still looking for a job. That's all. I said, it is ok. No worries, but make sure take care of themselves because I didn't feel good, and I was not sure why.
Then yesterday, when this news broke out, I think this could be the reason why I was not feeling good.
Please make doa my sister will get well and healed completely.
Thank you.
Salam w.b.t.
