Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #10 - We're Different

"Why are you looking for me to get home, hm? Have you changed your mind? Or maybe you actually like me and can't forget me, right?"

Jibril opened his mouth to answer Eliza's question, but then he closed his mouth again when he did not know what to answer. Eliza who realized that just smiled with complete victory." Wh why? Can't answer, can you? Or miss me?"

"Eliza, what do you need to see me?" Jibril asked with his heavy voice, his face was still as cold as ever and his gaze was still sharp.

"Kh...."Eliza clucked while pouting. "I asked first, what do you need to do to find me home? You made my parents shock, you know? All this time I have no friends, there are always handsome men looking for me at home, it must be their shock" Eliza said seriously which made Jibril grim.

"So ... Why are you looking for me, Mr. ice cube? Or are you liquid now, hm? That's why look for me" said Eliza, chuckling that made Jibril unable to hold back his smile.

"I was looking for you, because..." Gabriel remembered seeing Eliza coming out of the church. "It's okay, I just remember you."

"Times?" Peek Eliza. "If the nyari people get home, it means there is an important need," Eliza said and again Jibril can only stare at a smile. "So be honest with me, why, hm?" Eliza stared right at the black bead of Jibril's eyes, making Jibril's heart instantly beat faster but she immediately shifted her gaze.

"I just want to apologize because I hurt you the last time we met." Eliza's face turned cloudy, she recalled how Jibril turned her down at that time because she already had a future wife.

"So .. are you married?" Eliza asked in a soft voice. Gabriel opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly Eliza said again, "Not yet, huh? Cancel what yet?" Eliza asked who made Jibril gawk.

"Ak—" suddenly Eliza pulled Jibril's hand which made Jibril a little surprised. "No wedding ring, are you married or not?" Eliza asked impatiently, spontaneously Jibril shook his head.

"It seems we are not yet a match," said Jibril then who actually made Eliza screech excitedly.

"really? Wouldn't his soul mate be like me, hm."

"Eliza, aren't you already a boyfriend?" whether it was a question or a statement, Eliza was a little surprised to hear it.

"No, not yet. You rejected me at that time, how would I want a girlfriend?" Ask Eliza.

"What was that at church? That guy?" Ask Jibril.

Eliza slightly frowned, church? The man in the church? "Darrell's? He's my brother" Eliza replied. "But how can you be in church? You doo'a there too? How can you not hit me? The congregation that came today is quite a lot, I definitely did not see you" Eliza said with a smile.

Gabriel was happy to know that the man was Eliza's brother, but still there was another fortress so tall, large and sturdy. By accident Jibril's gaze was fixed on a necklace of crosses hanging from Eliza's neck, it made Jibril a little sad. His love was welcome, but it was impossible for them to step together in a different faith.

"I'm a Muslim, Eliza. I go to the mosque, not to the church."
