Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #46 - The New Step

"Are you angry with Ummi?" Jibril who was asked such a question by his mother certainly immediately turned his head, looking at his mother in confusion.

"Why did Ummi ask that?" ask Jibril.

Jibril is currently at Aira's house to meet her parents before they return to their hometown.

"Because Ummi asked you to forget him."

"Ummi.." Suddenly Jibril moved to sit next to his mother, Jibril clutched his mother's hand gently and kissed her affectionately. "I know what Ummi did for my own good. So I can't be angry, I'm just very grateful because besides Ummi understand me, Ummi also cares a lot." said Jibril at length who made the mother full.

Since long ago, Jibril did not disappoint him, always obeying his orders without asking why.

"Son, Ummi's friend's son..."

"Ummi," cut Jibril quickly.he grimaced to imagine the mother would again match him with a woman. "Sorry to cut off Ummi's words, but for now I just want to focus on my work, huh?" lirih Jibril made it clear that made the mother chuckle.

Abi Gabriel who noticed the behavior of his son and his wife could only smile, he knew Jibril was actually still injured and surely he harbored disappointment with the circumstances. However, he also knew that his son was very capable of self-control.

"Well, that's what you want, but remember one thing! Never again try to follow the flow that you can only come to the end especially what you already know is finally good, huh?" Umm Firda advised her son so gently and with such a heart, that Jibril had no reason to resist or to feel that he was being restrained by his mother.

"Yes, Ummi. God willing, as long as Ummi's do'a is always with me, God willing I won't go the wrong way again" replied Jibril as he gave a smile.

"Darling, are we leaving now? it's late afternoon" Abi Gabriel later said. Ummi Firda nodded.

Before leaving he advised Aira to take care of herself and take care of her content well, he also advised Arsyad to always take care of her small family.

After the mother left, Aira invited Jibril to speak from heart to heart. His sister apologized to Jibril because he had cornered Jibril even though Aira did not know what Jibril had gone through. All he knew was that his brother was in love with the woman opposite him.

Jibril looked disappointed in his brother, but he did not show it at all. All Jibril could say was that it was okay though of course nothing with his heart.

"Sometimes, something we try to pursue, will run away from us. But when patient and sincere, it could be fate that will give up someday and will restore what was left of you." he continued that made Jibril immediately chuckle.

"I know, but I think this case is different, I don't dare to hope, Arsyad. Because it turns out that hope hurts when the results are exactly the opposite," said Jibril.

"I know, but who can guess the course of destiny? Nothing, right?"

"Are you going to stay at home or in an apartment?" mrs Jill asked Eliza who is currently enjoying a television broadcast that is actually very uninteresting.

"I want to stay in the apartment" Eliza replied.

"Darrel can only take you one or two weeks, after which Mommy will be there, replacing Darrel," said the mother again. Eliza who had been lying lazily suddenly sat straight up, she stared at the mother intensely.

"I don't think I need to be taken care of" Eliza said. His mother was surprised to hear his son's words.

"We know you're trying to fight your trauma, but that doesn't mean you can stay alone, El. London is nowhere near where we can get there in the blink of an eye."

Eliza let out a heavy sigh and then she put her body back on the sofa. "Let me have a week or two there, alone."

"Elizabeth!"

"Please, Mommy!" exclaim Eliza. "When will you take turns taking care of me? Can you keep looking after me forever? Naw, right? One day Darrel will also get married, he will have a life of his own. And you're... No one knows about age, right?" lirih Eliza at the end of the sentence that makes the mother actually satisfied.

Lately his daughter was much changed, more able to think long and open. More mature and willing to get out of his safe and comfortable zone.

"Okay, Honey. If that's what you want."
