Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #14 - For The Sake of Him Who Is Across?

When he entered the room that Ruby had prepared, Jibril suddenly fell silent because he saw Shalwa there. In fact, Shalwa also seemed surprised to see the arrival of the man he always tried to forget it.

"Know, gaes. This is Mr. ice cubes—"

"Ruby ..." rebuked Eliza.

Shalwa and Jibril's daydreams were broken when Ruby and Eliza spoke, the two men looked confused and awkward until finally Eliza pulled Jibril to sit in the chair that had been prepared for her. The chair is next to the chair and right in front of Shalwa "His name is Jibril Emerson, you know or know his family" Eliza said.

Shalwa was astonished, there were all sorts of questions wandering in his mind at this moment. How did Gabriel know Eliza? Didn't Jibril never have a girlfriend? And ... master ice cubes? Or is....

"Today we have two slightly different guests" said Ruby's friend.

"Yups, we have two new friends. But this particular him ..." Ruby glanced at Jibril who was still speechless. "He's Elizabeth's special friend."

"Ck ...." Eliza clucked as she blinked her eyes.

One by one Ruby's friends consisting of men and women were acquainted with Jibril, and not a few friends of Ruby who threw her flirtatious gaze at Jibril. In fact, they blinked their eyes at Jibril which made Jibril a little surprised.

Eliza who realized that immediately reprimanded those who actually made them laugh giggling. "It's so positive that you are, El," said one of his friends.

"It's not official yet, is it?" connect the other.

"Crazy, same Darrel and Eliza possessive. Especially with her partner, how does it feel to be Eliza's boyfriend, Jibril?" knock the other one.

"We're not going out" replied Jibril calmly.

Unknowingly, Shalwa heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Jibril's reply. In fact, he can now smile a little. "Shal, there are only those of you who have not known this ice cube master" cried Eliza. "But I'm sure anyway, you must be the same as him because he's so boring" he added.

"Emm ... hi, I—"

"We already know each other," cut Jibril who made Shalwa again stunned, when he was going to pretend he did not recognize Jibril. However, Shalwa forgets that Tanvir can't lie, just like Tanvir.

"Oh yeah? Know where?" peekit Eliza's.

"We are from the same village," Shalwa answered quickly, staring sharply at Jibril, hoping that Jibril would not speak honestly about their relationship.

"Eliza, don't discuss matters like this in public!" rebuke Jibril quickly.

"Yes, El. Don't ruin Ruby's dinner with something like this." Shalwa chimed in while throwing a stiff smile.

"Yes. Sorry, yeah!"

"It's okay" Shalwa and Jibril replied simultaneously.

Every now and then Shalwa glanced at Jibril from the tail of his eyes, jealousy rising in his heart seeing the closeness of Jibril and Eliza. Moreover, Eliza who was not seen to be hesitant at all with Jibril and Jibril always responded to Eliza casually. While with himself? Shalwa always hesitated and Jibril was so stiff.

When Ruby's order food came, everyone seemed excited. They immediately enjoyed the food greedily while gossiping. While Eliza was busy enjoying the chocolate that Jibril bought earlier.

"You?" Eliza offered Shalwa sitting in front of her, and Shalwa took the chocolate and ate it. "So Jibril bought it" Eliza said with a smile that made Shalwa's chest tight.

With Eliza, Jibril changed so much. In fact, now he's buying chocolates for the girl? "I think Jibril can only buy chocolates for his nephew" Shalwa said, only to be met with a faint smile by Jibril.

"Actually I lied to her about lunch, and I told her to buy some chocolate as a birthday present for Ruby. Though Ruby is allergic to chocolate, who likes chocolate is me," said Eliza who actually made Jibril chuckle. However, it increased the embers of jealous fire in Shalwa's heart.

In fact, they also had lunch together?

Shalwa's heart was so overcrowded, it turned out that the woman who had taken Jibril from him was Eliza. People he now considers friends.

"Jibril this guy's too straight, Shal. I was just saying buy some chocolate, uh she really just bought it and it wasn't wrapped" Eliza said.

"Yes, he is the one who is, indeed" Shalwa replied with a flat smile on her lips. "He is who he is, honest and straight, his person" he added.

"Yups, right. Fortunately, you are not in love with him, because he is very boring and stiff. But that's exactly what I like" Eliza said.

"You love each other, unfortunately your love will not be united. Jibril, why did you leave me only for someone across the ocean?"
