Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #15 - Love Does Not Know Differences

Because of the unexpected meeting, now Shalwa slightly lost the calm of his heart that he had difficulty getting all this time. The shadows of Eliza and Jibril continued to wander unobstructed in his mind.

Shalwa was so inexhaustible with what was in Jibril's heart and mind that he chose Elizabeth as the owner of his heart. Because he kept thinking about it, Shalwa could not sleep.

On the other hand, Eliza also could not sleep. But not because he lost his cool. But because tonight she was so happy that Eliza couldn't close her eyes.

Eliza hugged the box of chocolates Jibril bought, there was some chocolate left in it and Eliza didn't feel like eating it. When else would he get something from an ice cube master like Jibril?

Eliza recalled the words of dr. Alma, love is a gift and there is no difference in love. The one who loves and is loved is the heart, not the other.

Meanwhile, Jibril just re-thought what had happened. Jibril did not expect Shalwa to be a friend of Eliza, even they look very familiar like close friends. Jibril is afraid to hurt Shalwa again if Shalwa finds out that the woman Jibril is referring to is Eliza.

"Oh my God, what should I do?" Jibril rubbed his face violently.

Jibril let out a rough breath then dropped his body onto the bed, Jibril stared at the ceiling of his room with nanar. "What are you planning for us, O God?"

Slowly Jibril closed his eyes, today was quite tiring for him. Especially with a myriad of jobs that will now always be his daily activities.

When the sun appears, it radiates its light which is greeted cheerfully by all beings on the face of the earth.

Eliza was still struggling with her blanket, she looked very calm. In fact, his lips were smiling. Darrell, who was about to wake Eliza, frowned a little at a loss to see her sister's situation that looked different.

Darrel waved his hand in front of Eliza's face, no response at all. He also examined Eliza's sedative and the contents were still full, meaning Eliza had not taken the sedative for a long time.

Darrel let out a long sigh, he sat down beside Eliza then patted her on the cheek gently. "Eliza, wake! It's noon, El."

Eliza just squirmed lazily until the blanket sagged, the frown on Darrel's forehead deepened when she saw that there was a brown box under her brother's blanket. "Good, Eliza! You slept with chocolate?" pekik Darrel who made both Eliza's eyes immediately opened wide.

Darrel was about to take the chocolate but Eliza swiftly took the chocolate back. "What the hell, Darrel! This is my chocolate, you can't eat without my permission!" eliza exclaimed so firmly that Darrel was flabbergasted.

"When have you been stingy with your brother, eh? Isn't that your stuff? Is that what you always say?"

"No, I changed my mind. Now my stuff is my stuff, your stuff is yours."

Darrel was more and more astonished, his sister had changed a lot. "Now you're out, I'm gonna take a shower!" Eliza pushes Darrel out of her room while Darrel can do nothing but obey.

"Not so! I'm lazy!" Eliza shouted back.

"Keep what you want? Learn business don't want to, college ngagk want!" yell Darrel again.

The hustle of the brothers seized the attention of their parents, Madam Jill immediately asked what commotion in the morning like this. Darrel informs him that Eliza again refuses to accompany him to meet with clients.

"Can't Eliza live between us and Ruby forever, Mom? He has to interact with the outside world, we have followed the will of him who does not want to go to college. But cook yes we also have to follow the will of him who does not want to learn business?" darrel at length.

"Darrel, your sister is a child. Let him have fun with life that makes him comfortable," replied Mrs Jill who made Darrel can only shake his head.

"Mom, we have to force Eliza out of her comfort zone!" darrel said with great emphasis.

"Later, Darrel! Later, if he is ready," replied Mrs Jill also full of emphasis.

Eliza was very pampered especially after the terrible incident that almost claimed the life and sanctity of Eliza when her daughter was 12 years old.

It took years for Eliza to smile again as she is now, and as a mother, Lady Jill would not put Eliza under any pressure.

At the age of 23 years, Eliza did not go to college and also did not want to work, her parents did not matter with it as long as Eliza was happy. However, Darrel had a different view. He wants his sister to fight his trauma, Darrel wants Eliza to rise and be strong. Not afraid to face the outside world.

"As much as you!"

Jibril returned to work like yesterday, Erma had already compiled her schedule which was quite solid and it made Jibril already have a headache.

When Jibril focused on work, he got a phone call from someone. Jibril frowned when he found out who had contacted him. He answered the call calmly, and Jibril invited the man to meet him in his study.

Not long after, the door opened and Jibril immediately greeted his guests with a warm smile. "What's up, Shalwa?" jibril asked without further ado as usual.

Shalwa sat in the chair in front of Jibril's desk, still looking sad in Shalwa's eyes. However, this time the woman looked more self-assured.

"I just want to make sure, what woman do you mean is Elizabeth?" ask Shalwa who also can't talk.
