Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #17 - When the Heart Is Adrift

Eliza cried while begging the man who is her upperclassman so that he was released. However, the man actually rang like a demon that made Eliza creeps in fear. Tears flowed so profusely so wet his cheeks, Eliza's hair that had been braided neatly was now messy even the colorful rubber that tied her hair had been released somewhere.

"Please!"

"Leave!

"Just leave me!"

Eliza tried to scream at the rest of the energy she had. However, the man throws Eliza at a middle-aged man who is the driver of Eliza's own family. Eliza's tears were getting broken, the driver whom she had considered her own family was so depraved and evil that she wanted to desecrate her 12-year-old self.

Eliza pleaded with the man she called the uncle to let him go, and promised not to tell anyone about the matter. But what the driver did was unexpected. He rips Eliza's shirt and throws Eliza at her upperclassman who is also a teenager.

Eliza rebelled as the man clutched her cheek so hard that Eliza felt her jawbone break. "You just a little b*tch, Elizabeth," the man growled with rage. His gaze implied anger and resentment that seemed as if he had been quiet for a long time.

Eliza was crying so much, today she must be dead. Today his life will end, she was just a little girl who could not possibly fight 3 men who were much bigger and stronger than her and she was in an abandoned building that was far from the reach of people.

The man slapped Eliza until Eliza's body fell down and she bled from her mouth, Eliza's head was so dizzy that the slap was so loud.

The three men laughed happily at the helpless Eliza, they looked so satisfied. However, suddenly Eliza throws dust into their faces after which Eliza runs and jumps off the building.

"AHHHHH...."

"Dameleon...."

"No...!"

"Dameleon...."

"No! Please!"

"Eliza, it's okay. It was just a dream, my dear."

"Give a sedative at a low dose!" the Doctor orders because Eliza keeps screaming hysterically even rebelliously in her unconsciousness, as if someone is coming to hurt her.

"Doctor, what's going on? Why is Eliza screaming?"

"Eliza was just back dreaming of her past, Mr. Jibril." Jibril's forehead wrinkled in hearing the Doctor's answer which was quite ambiguous to her.

"meaning?" ask Jibril. The doctor replied, Dr. Alma came and went to check on Eliza.

"How is he doing?" ask dr. Alma looked very worried.

"As usual, she screamed and rebelled. I was forced to give him a sedative, maybe in half an hour he'll come to his senses" he replied.

"It was precisely Eliza who hit my car from behind," replied Jibril calmly.

"You know Eliza?" ask dr. Alma again and Jibril nodded slowly, dr. Alma immediately watched Jibril from top to bottom. "You're Jibril?" guess it and Jibril nodded again.

Instantly dr. Alma gave a smile because it turned out to be true what Eliza said, Jibril was very handsome even his eyes seemed to have magic that would surely bewitch every woman who looked at him.

"What's wrong with Eliza?" jibril asks later, he looks worried about Eliza especially when he remembers how he found Eliza earlier.

Jibril drove his car at the usual speed. However, suddenly there was a car that hit him from behind quite hard. When Jibril checked the condition of the driver of the car, he was very surprised because the person was Eliza who was unconscious with a wound on her forehead because of hitting the steering wheel. Without a second thought, Jibril immediately took Eliza to the hospital so that Eliza would be treated immediately.

"She was just a nightmare" replied dr. Alma feels she has no right to reveal Eliza's past without Eliza's permission.

"really?" jibril's mumbling didn't seem to believe what dr said. Alma.

"Yes" replied dr. Alma short "Oh, yes. If you go home, please. I've contacted Eliza's parents, they're on their way" said dr. Alma.

Jibril did not respond to his words, instead he noticed Eliza who looked pale and weak, Jibril did not know what happened to Eliza. However, he knew Eliza was not just having a bad dream.

"I will leave when his family comes" Jibril said later. Alma invited him and he left Jibril, who was now sitting by Eliza's side.

During the few minutes of waiting, Eliza again moved restlessly in her sleep. His forehead was wrinkled and he muttered indistinctly, his hands were squeezing the sheets, he was like enduring a pain.

"Dance ...." Gabriel called to Eliza softly. "It's okay, it's just a dream, Eliza. Just a dream" he said as if he wanted to calm Eliza down.

Eliza was still agitated, so Jibril brought her lips closer to Eliza's ear and again said what Eliza was feeling right now was just a dream. "Silence, Eliza. It was just a dream, don't be afraid" he whispered so gently.

It seems that Jibril's efforts succeeded, slowly Eliza calmed down and the frown on her forehead disappeared. Jibril who saw that heaved a sigh of relief, then Jibril glanced at his watch, it was almost 2 o'clock.

"Sorry, Eliza. I have to get back to work, I'll see you later" he said before he left Eliza.

As Jibril walks down the hospital hallway, he runs into Eliza's parents. Both of Eliza's parents looked at Jibril who was walking straight without looking at them ."Isn't that Jibril Emerson Eliza's looking for?" muttered Madame Jill.

"It seems so" answered the husband.

They immediately rushed to Eliza's room and along with it Eliza was aware of her stupor. "Dear, god! Why are you in the morning?" Madam Jill directly stroked Eliza's hair gently. However, Eliza was flirting around him, as if she was looking for someone.

"Eliza, are you okay, honey?" ask her daddy gently.

"She's not there, but why do I feel she's here? Am I just a dream? But he asked me to calm down and it felt so real.
