Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #40 - The Forced Love Flower of Seduction

"Elizabeth..."

Eliza pulled the pillow and covered her ears when she heard the mother's call. Eliza's face was so swollen, her eyes swollen from the night she cried. Yeah, Eliza weeps over her love story that has to be thrown to the bottom of the abyss without being given the slightest chance to rise to the surface.

Eliza had just slept an hour ago after she was tired of crying and her tears were already dry.

"Eliza, are you awake yet, honey? Breakfast is ready!" exclaimed the mother who was so worried about Eliza because since yesterday Eliza was reluctant to come out of the room.

Even Eliza was reluctant to meet Ruby who came last night to see Eliza's condition. "Eliza, we're sorry" Mrs Jill said later sincerely.

"We don't mean to restrain you, Eliza. We just want you to realize that you love the wrong person!" Eliza was upset to hear what her mother said. In a fit of annoyance he got off the bed, rushed to open the door and immediately Madame Jill was stunned to see Eliza's chaotic appearance.

"Eliza, aren't you sleeping? Is your medicine gone?" he asked anxiously which made Eliza smile wryly.

"The medicine is a lot, Mom. I've been drinking 3 grains but I still can't sleep, you know why?" Madam Jill bent her forehead hearing Eliza's chatter. "I'm busy trying to erase my feelings, just like you guys are!" his his hiss and now his mother who smiled wryly.

"It's good that you're self-aware that you should forget that feeling" Mrs Jill said, leaving Eliza flabbergasted. He looked at his mother, shaking his head as if he could not think how the mother did not sympathize with him.

"Mom, how come!" hiss Eliza, her lips quiver again and her eyes go back in tears. Ah, looks like Eliza's tears haven't dried yet, there's still plenty of stock.

"It's just that Mommy cares about you, Eliza! We forbid you because we care, we don't want you to be heartbroken in the middle of the road!" exclaim the mother with a softer tone. "And you think the Jibrils will approve of you, huh? Won't do! Just as you are getting opposition from us, her family will also be against her feelings! Don't be stupid!"

Eliza was silent, because what her mother said was very true. Gabriel suffered the same fate as him, in about so hard.

"So you choose now, Eliza! Choose against your feelings or against our blessing?"

Eliza's tears spilled again hearing the mother's challenge, her heart as in shreds. So sick to his bones.

While on the other hand, Ummi Firda could only reflect on what he had asked Jibril. Because of that, he also could not sleep. On one hand he felt sorry for Jibril, especially this was the first time Jibril fell in love. However, on the other hand, he had to make Jibril aware that his son had fallen in love with the wrong person.

Umm Firda never saw her son cry and now that she was crying just because of a woman, Jibril must have felt very deeply for Elizabeth.

"Darling ..." Ummi Firda slightly flinched as the husband touched her shoulder. "Don't think about it too much, I'm sure Jibril knows what he has to do" Abi Gabriel said.

"I can't stand him, Bang. It's the first time he's crying, right?" Ummi Firda looked at her husband wryly.

"Hmm" muttered the husband as he sat by his wife's side. "Love is like that, strengthening the weak, weakening the strong. It's sickening and it's crazy."

Ummi Firda let out a rude breath and then said, "Should we match Jibril with another woman so that he can forget Eliza?"

"That's a really bad idea, honey. Jibril will definitely tell his candidate later if he loves another woman, we learn from the past how Jibril unhesitatingly confessed his feelings in front of Shalwa and his family. So we'd better let Jibril take his own path, let him try to forget Eliza himself. If we force him to turn, then the feeling of him getting rebellious because whatever he forced the result would be bad."

"I'm going to Jibril's room, Bang. Want to see her situation," said Ummi Firda later.

"She's already gone to the office" replied Abi Gabriel who made Umm Firda surprised.

"This morning?" his scowl and Abi just nodded. "What was the important job until he got to the office at 7 in the morning?"

"I think he just wants to avoid us."

***

Early in the morning Jibril was out of the hotel room, he needed time alone and Jibril knew his parents must be trying to meet him. This was the first time that Jibril had avoided Ummi and Abinya. How else would you like? Jibril really needs time and he doesn't want to listen to anything or anyone right now.

Jibril also could not sleep overnight, after all who could sleep when he was heartbroken?

The dark circles were clearly visible under Jibril's adorable eyes and looked exhausted,

Jibril pulled his car over on the side of the road, hiding his face in the steering wheel. He slowly closed his eyes and unconsciously fell asleep.

About thirty minutes later, Jibril woke up again, and continued his journey to the office. Arriving at the office, Jibril immediately washed his face so that he was fresher. After that he asked Erma to make coffee. However, Erma came to bring food.

"I asked for coffee, Ma'am," said Jibril.

"Say your great Madam has not had breakfast and said you should not drink coffee before breakfast," said Erma who did get a message like that from Umm Firda.

"Make me coffee, I'm sleepy" said Jibril, pushing the food away from him. Gabriel lost his appetite. In fact, since yesterday he only drank a little water so that his lips now look dry and pale.

"But-"

"Now, Ma'am!" jibril who did not want to be denied.

Erma quickly made coffee for Jibril. "Thank you" Jibril said later.

"Together, is there another?" asked Erma who was only answered by Jibril.

When Erma comes out, she crosses paths with Aira who comes alone to meet her brother. "Is Brother Jibril busy?" ask Aira.

"No, Ma. Mr. Jibril has just arrived," answered Erma who made Aira frown confused because she got word from her parents that Jibril had left since.

"Does Brother Jibril still see Eliza?"
