Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #38 - The Path We Can Choose

"Jibril, Ummi wants to ask you something," said Umm Firda suddenly. "Please stay away from Elizabeth if you still respect Ummi as your mother!"

Jibril's heart as in the crumb heard the mother's request so suddenly, Jibril even held his breath, he felt the tightness that was so great in his chest. Jibril now glanced at Aira with a disappointed look, whereas Jibril wanted to talk to his parents himself but Aira was ahead of Jibril.

"Ummi beg you, son!" lirih Ummi Firda with a sad look. Such an appeal had never been made before by Umm Firda to her children, of course it made Jibril not warty.

Both of Jibril's eyes were hot again, his heartbeat racing faster. He didn't know what to say now, all he could do was try to endure the pain that had run through his heart.

"Ummi will not forbid you if Eliza is just a friend or friend, Ummi believes you know where your limits are, Jibril. Ummi is not worried that you have a girl friend, no matter where she comes from. Because Ummi was convinced, Ummi's son knew very well how to look after himself and how to maintain the family's honor." Jibril painfully swallowed his saliva, soaking his throat which suddenly felt dry.

"But if your feelings are love, then please Ummi, Gabriel! Just stop here, because love is like a wave that hits without being able to be in the past. You will get carried away and maybe you will not find a way to save yourself. So, before all that happens, stay away from those waves, honey."

Without feeling Jibril let out his tears, which was enough to make Abi, Ummi and Aira surprised also dumbfounded. Jibril even bit his trembling lips as if holding back a sobbing.

Ummi Firda was silent when she saw her son rubbing his eyes while looking down deeply. There was a feeling of guilt that greeted his heart as he had shattered the feelings of Jibril who had just flowered. However, he has to do this.

"It's for the good of both of you as well" Ummi Firda said later.

Jibril was really unable to make a sound, for some reason he suddenly seemed to lose all his strength.

"So, it's not that we don't understand how you feel" Aira said. "But this is the best, brother. If you force your relationship and your feelings, there will be two families against."

Jibrik was increasingly at a loss for words, again he could only rub his eyes that felt hotter even his eyes now became blurry because of the tears that were piled up in his eye pelvis.

"Jibril.." This time the father spoke up. "You're an adult, think carefully about the impact of every decision you make. You've made our family relationship and Shalwa's family cracked, don't you make two families who don't even know each other well in trouble, Jibril."

"I-I understand" said Jibril at last in a stifled voice.

"If you make a promise to us, you will never see Elizabeth again!" Pinta Ummi Firda who further destroys Jibril's feelings. He had just been wounded, and now someone was sowing salt on his wound.

"Ummi.." - Jibril glazed over, tears flowing back from the corner of his eye.

"Sorry, Honey. But for this one Ummi does not want to bargain!" Ummi Firda firmly did not want to be denied that made Jibrik feeling completely torn.

Without Jibril and the others knowing, Eliza was behind the door and listening to everything they were talking about. Eliza had come back to get her phone left behind. However, what he found was precisely the thing that really hurt his heart.

It was not only her family that urged Eliza to forget Jibril, now the Jibrils are doing the same thing so that she forgets Eliza.

Eliza was unable to stem the tears that were now pouring down her cheeks, many times she wiped the tears with Jibril's handkerchief but many times the tears were also spilled.

"Well, Ummi," said Jibril then who made Eliza's heart crumble, he smothered his own mouth so that his sobs were muffled. "If that's what Ummi wants, fine!" Jibril said in a trembling voice.

Aira who witnessed her brother's heartbreak can only mute a thousand words, he could not bear, but all had already happened. Ummi Firda and Abi Gabriel could only watch Jibril's tears without being able to do anything.

They had come here to surprise Jibril, but they were surprised by the fact of Jibril's love. They know that their arrival does not make Jibril happy but makes Jibril hurt.

Jibril got out of his chair and just then realized there was Eliza's cell phone on the table. Jibril immediately grabbed the phone. "I'm going to the room, I haven't had a shower yet" said Jibril, who just wanted to avoid his parents.

Nothing prevented Jibril's departure, they knew Jibril needed time alone.

As Jibril walked out of the room, Jibril was astonished to see Eliza standing at the door with tears in her eyes.

"Eliza.." said Jibril.

Eliza took her phone from Jibril's hand and said, "Goodbye, Mr. ice cubes!"

"Elizabeth, I—"

"It's not just you, I was forced to forget you, Gabriel. Everyone was against it," said Eliza in despair.

"I'm sorry" said Jibril, full of regret.

"It's fate like this, we should have listened to them a long time ago!" eliza murmur. "Maybe we can only get here!" Jibril shook his head, it was hard to let Eliza go.

"This fast?" ask Jibril. "Just yesterday we were planning on trying it, Eliza."

"Yes, just yesterday, Gabriel! And today you made a promise to your mother that you'd stop seeing me, you'd forget me!" his Eliza is full of emphasis.

"I had no other choice" Jibril later said.

"Then I am too!" after saying that, Eliza left Jibril.

Eliza wiped away her tears that were still spilling. It felt like only for a moment he felt the beauty of love, and now everything is taken away by force.

Jibril could only look at Eliza's back which was now further away from her. Not that Jibril didn't want to fight for Eliza and unite their love, he really wanted that. However, before Jibril had the opportunity, his parents came and gave the opposite order.

Just now Jibril felt what it was like to love and be loved. However, the universe acts as if it has no taste in the heart. Then, what is the meaning of his love istikhara?

Just got here the story?
