Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #44 - It's Not That Easy

After driving Grandma home, Farid immediately drove his car to the office with enthusiasm. Today he was very happy because Shalwa received his proposal, Farid did not want to care what people or their neighbors said later. Farid only cares about his happiness and Shalwa's happiness.

And when he got there, Farid immediately met the big boss who was waiting for him. "Sorry, Mr. Darrel, I'm late. I was still driving my fiancee to the airport" Farid said as he landed his butt in the seat in front of Darrel.

"It's okay, Farid. I just arrived, too" said Darrel. "So, Farid. In two weeks I'm going to London, I want you to work better than ever. As the chief director of this company you bear a very big responsibility, besides that I trust you a lot, Farid. So make sure the company is running well."

"Good, Sir. I promise I will carry out this trust well" replied Farid confidently. "But why all of a sudden, sir? Is there a problem?"

"No, I just want to take my brother to London. While Daddy and Mommy are very busy so can not accompany Eliza to London." Farid nodded in understanding what his superior said.

While Darrel deliberately talked alone with Farid because he trusted Farid, besides that they were close like friends. Darrel witnessed Farid's struggle from being a very intelligent, accomplished, honest and very consistent employee at work to finally delivering Farid to the chair of the director.

Darrel had no reason to doubt Farid's performance.

"Oh, yeah. When's marriage? It seems I can't attend" Darrel said again.

"The date is still undetermined, sir. But I hope Mr. Darrel and Ms. Eliza can come to our wedding later" Farid said. Of course, he really wants his wedding to be attended by people who contributed to his career to get to this point.

"Hopefully so, Farid."

On the other hand, Eliza took out some clothes from her closet. Separate those that have not been used or that have never been used at all. Eliza put all her clothes in the bag after that Eliza called her security to bring the items into the car.

"Where are you going, Non? How heavy is this bag, what is it?" ask Mr. Satpam curious.

"The clothes I never wear, sir. I'll donate it" Eliza replied.

"Is it because Non Eliza's going to London? Don't want to go back to Indonesia, right?" ask the Security Guard who made Eliza chuckle.

"Why? afraid of kangen with me?" joking Eliza who made the security guard chuckle at once confused, Eliza rarely jokes like this to him. However, some days Eliza is more often joking.

"It's not so, Non. Only I was worried, he said London was abroad, Non. Many foreigners, the danger that Non Eliza lives alone there," said the security guard who was worried about the young Miss. Moreover, all this time he knew a little about Eliza's trauma. However, for some reason Eliza suddenly wanted to go to London.

"I'm an adult and I can take care of myself, sir. Not all strangers are evil. If strangers were evil, we might all have killed each other. There will continue to be no friend or co-worker," Eliza replied at length that made Pak Satpam immediately smile sumringah.

While Eliza followed what Jibril had told her and now it became her grip to fight the trauma that he had always haunted her.

"Well, Non Eliza is getting smarter" cried Mr. Satpam who immediately made Eliza laugh. After that he immediately got into his car and drove his car to one of the orphanages where he always made donations every month. There are still many teenage girls living in the orphanage so Eliza's clothes will definitely suit them.

Eliza may now look different, more cheerful than ever, because that's how she comforts herself and deflects her heartbreak. In fact, Eliza lost a few pounds because she really had no appetite.

After thinking for a long time, looking back on the path of his life that had only been sleeping, eating, playing and then sleeping again, Eliza finally decided to return to London. He wants to return to the place where he lost his life's color, a place that inflicts deep wounds for him as well as his family.

Now Eliza wants to fix everything and she believes the first thing she has to do is fight her own trauma.

Gabriel preoccupied himself with all his work to divert all his attention from Eliza who was still in his mind.

It was quite successful, until the sudden arrival of Micheal who made his mood a little better. "I'm thankful you didn't stab your stomach like romeo" Micheal joked, which made Jibril chuckle.

"No, my common sense is still the way," said Gabriel.

"Oh yeah? Hp to become a victim so is your common sense really still going?" peekkik Michael. Micheal was quite surprised when he heard the mother's complaint about his sister who became ridiculous due to heartbreak. Although actually Micheal really understands how difficult it is to forget someone who is loved, especially when he can not have it because of something.

The pain was really doubled even a few who vent the pain on something that does not make sense, like what Michael did before.

"I think that's the best way, than I can't stand it and call him," Jibril replied honestly.

"You can block his contacts, Jibril Emerson."

"I can't bear it" said Jibril.

"Yes you change the sim card if you do," Micheal replied.

"Contact he's still on the phone" replied Jibril again which made Micheal speechless.

The man could only tap his finger on Jibril's desk while Jibril was still focusing on his laptop and the pile of files in front of him.

"Okay, how about we go to lunch now?" ask Michael then. Jibril glanced at his watch, it was already 1 and a half.

"Yes" said Jibril at last.

Micheal embraced his sister like a friend, not only that, but Micheal also hit Jibril's waist when his sister just walked like a robot with a cold face.

"What the hell, Ka?" jibril.

"Patience, sincerity. Usually if we sincerely release something, we will get a better replacement or something will be returned in a better version," said Michael who made Jibril chuckle.

"Yes, understand me" said Jibril.

The two men left in Micheal's car. And they stopped at one of the mosques to perform Dzuhur prayers before they went to the restaurant.

After the prayer, Jibril came out of the mosque first while Micheal met one of his friends and still had a little chat. Jibril waits for Micheal in the car and Jibril accidentally sees Eliza across the street handing out something to the street children. On Eliza's side was a man dressed in the uniform of a taxi company. Jibril frowned a little because Eliza once said she was afraid of taxi drivers.

Jibril immediately averted his eyes, moreover, his two eyes were now back in tears.

"Please, my God. No more, don't find us again under these circumstances."
