Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #45 - On Each Path

Eliza tries to get out of her safe and comfortable zone all this time, she tries to interact with strangers. Although it was difficult at first not to suspect them, Eliza remembered what Jibril said was very true. After all, what Jibril said made sense.

Eliza chuckled to herself when all she remembered was Jibril's nasehati, even though everyone had often given such input. In fact, his psychiatrist also routinely gave a shot of motivation to Elizabeth. However, for some reason only advice from Jibril when the man only ever advised him once.

While at the red light, Eliza meets a taxi driver who once drove her to the Jibril hotel. As usual, the taxi driver gave money and rice to the buskers there. Eliza also invited the driver to accompany her to meet other street children, in exchange Eliza will give a sum of money to the driver to be deposited with his superiors so that they do not lose money.

After finishing her new activity, Eliza goes to Ruby's house. Of course, his best friend immediately hugged Eliza tightly and expressed his concern for Eliza.

"You haven't been on the phone in a few days, El. Are you angry with me?" ruby asked, which made Eliza laugh.

"No, why should I be angry? My phone is broken" Eliza replied as she went to Ruby's kitchen, without excuse she picked up a cold drink from the refrigerator and gulped it down. Ruby who saw the behavior of her best friend was a little confused especially Eliza's face looked flushed.

"Where are you from, El? Like thirsty, it's your face red-red again, it's like sunburn," said Ruby.

"Being hit by this sun, I'm used to sharing items with street children" Eliza replied as she walked into the living room, Ruby followed her best friend.

"You share things with street children? Same who?" pekik Ruby did not believe at once confused.

"At the same time as the taxi driver," Eliza replied again as she dropped her body on the sofa. "Oh, my God, am I tired?" his weakness.

Ruby noticed Eliza who now looks thinner than before, her best friend's face even looks very different. Ruby was sitting next to Eliza, and she opened her mouth to ask how Eliza was doing. However, suddenly Eliza said something that made Ruby dumbfounded.

"I'm going to London soon" Eliza said. Of course Ruby glared in surprise, since returning from London, never once Eliza said she would return to the city. Eliza said she would never return to the city that gave her bad memories.

During this time Eliza and Darrel's parents have often been back and forth London but never once Eliza wants to come along.

"Are you serious? What's to do?" peekkik Ruby's.

"Come, Rub. Want to find the identity and meaning of life maybe," kekeh Eliza.

"I'm serious, El!" exclaim Ruby gauntlet.

"I'm serious too, Ruby. All this time my life was gray, I lived just close my eyes and open my eyes, passing day and night without knowing what my life means, where my life will be taken. I don't even go to school, I don't work, I don't have goals, I don't even have hobbies that can be diligent like everyone else" Eliza said at length.

"Why should we go to London, Eliza?" Ruby asked again with great emphasis.

"Because from there I lost my life, Rub." Eliza answered so softly.

Ruby could only sigh heavily, she looked at Eliza's face which now also looked pale and dull. "Oh yeah, El. Jib—"

"What food do you have?" eliza asked quickly because she already knew what her best friend wanted to ask her.

"I don't cook, Mama's out of town. You want me to buy you some food?" Ruby asked back.

"No, I'm not hungry" Eliza replied as she was just trying to distract Ruby.

"Nothing" answered Eliza briefly, the look on her face changed immediately and now Ruby realized what had happened to her best friend.

"You're going to London to avoid him?" ask Ruby again.

"Can you please stop asking, Rub? I really don't want to talk about it." Eliza concluded getting upset, she also moved from her place but Ruby immediately pulled it until Eliza sat back down.

"Okay, I'm asking maf, don't be mad anymore. I was just curious" Ruby said. "But I'm glad that you want to get away from him" he added, which made Elliiza smile wryly because it turned out that her separation from Jibril was like a boon to those around them.

"I'm just following the game of fate, Rub. There are still many mysteries of fate that will be a surprise in the future. Now I, Jibril and Shalwa step in each other's path."

"Have you heard about Farid and Shalwa's match?" micheal asked Jibril. However, his brother was just daydreaming, as if he did not hear Michael's question.

"Jibril?" Micheal touched Jibril's hand that had been stirring his food.

"Huh? Why?" ask Jibril.

After seeing Eliza earlier, Jibril's thoughts drifted back to the girl, and he wondered if Eliza was no longer afraid of strangers? If that was indeed true, then Jibril would be very happy for him.

"I asked, have you heard yet that Farid is with Shalwa in a match?" Michael repeated the question.

"Already, I know from Arkan," replied Jibril then he again enjoyed the lunch menu served him.

"How do you feel?" micheal asked who made Jibril immediately frown his forehead.

"How's what?" Gabriel asked in confusion.

"Yes, maybe you're feeling sorry for your old decision, or what?" Michael looked at his sister's face with curiosity.

"Not that, brother. What to regret? I'm glad that Shalwa married Farid, he's a good man, very compatible with Shalwa." Gabriel gave a definite answer and sounded sincere, even his eyes told him the same thing. He did not look rivaled let alone jealous because indeed I heart Jibril no love for Shalwa. There is only a sense of admiration.

While Micheal only mangosteen heard his sister's answer. "May you get the best match from God, it's okay not to come in quickly as long as it comes at the right time," said Michael who again made Jibril chuckle..

"Aamiin, I have given up all the same God, Brother. I was almost married, but I failed. Falling in love, failing again. So now let God himself lead me to my soul mate."
