Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #53 - Is It Really Over?

It turns out that just feeling successful move on is not a guarantee that someone has really moved on. That's how Eliza feels now, she had felt she had managed to move on from her first love. However, when he returned to face the love back, Eliza realized her heart and love were still so tightly adrift.

They were at one of Christie's cafes, drinking coffee and ordering a few snacks. So far Jibril and Eliza still did not dare to speak, both of them as if waiting for each other. It was realized by Christie, he was increasingly convinced that his sister-in-law must have a crush on Jibril because Eliza had never been awkward on anyone.

Thanks to the tragedy that occurred in Eliza's childhood, to make her a closed and quiet person, it now brings a significant change in her life. Eliza often fills out seminars to provide support and motivation to people who experience the same thing with her. Eliza has a very good public speaking especially now she has jumped into the business world.

Then, what makes Eliza look stiff and awkward in front of Jibril, Christie thought.

"Oh yeah, how about we go to London together?" christie's suggestion seems to want to bring her sister-in-law closer to Jibril.

"I'll see later" replied Jibril ambiguously.

"Where have you stayed in the hotel all this time in America? What if you live in our apartment? There is still one empty room in the apartment" said Christie who immediately made Eliza take a sharp look at him. However, Christie blinked one eye at her sister-in-law.

"No, I booked a hotel" replied Jibril. And then his phone rings. "Excuse me, my mom's on the phone" she said as she moved out of the chair.

Gabriel moved a little away from Eliza and Christie to answer the call of the mother, as usual the Umminya asked Jibril and Gabriel many things very patiently and so gently answered the question of the mother.

Christie who heard that was so bad for Jibril, in addition to Jibril a good man, apparently he was also a child who looked very devoted to his mother.

"El, how?" christie whispered as she raised the tip of her eyebrow at Eliza.

"What what?" ask Eliza.

"That guy? I think he fits you, according to the criteria of your dream husband you once told me," said Christie who made Eliza grimace.

Of course Jibril fits the criteria Eliza once told Christie, because the criteria are not Eliza's wishes but Eliza only mentions the characteristics of Jibril itself to her sister.

"Ck," Eliza clucked irritably and then she went back to sipping her milk coffee.

Eliza gave a rough breath hearing the ravings of her sister-in-law, let alone the man Christie meant was now in front of their eyes.

"Don't he have a wife?" ask Eliza.

"She-" Christie's reply came to a halt as Jibril now returned to his seat. Christie immediately threw her sweet smile at Jibril, even he also kicked Eliza's leg, gesturing for Eliza to also smile sweetly because Eliza had put on a stiff face. Eliza, however, threw away her face.

"I think I should go first, in two hours I have a meeting with someone," said Jibril while issuing a dollar-edged note to pay for his coffee. Christie prevented it.

"He said Eliza would pay" said Christie, to Jibril's astonishment as Eliza gawked. "Say think of it as your greeting," Christie added. "Well, right, El?" christie kicked Eliza in the leg.

"Yes" answered Eliza.

"Then let me pay for your coffee, just think of it as my greeting, "Jibril replied beyond Christie's expectations which left Christie flabbergasted and at a loss for words, especially when Jibril took the money then went to the cashier to pay directly.

Eliza who saw the look on Christie's face could only chuckle. "You think he'd pay a woman, Chris?" Ask.

"I think he has a high ego" said Chritie.

"No, she is so out of respect for us" Eliza said in her heart.

After he finished paying, Jibril went back to meet them just to say goodbye, not forgetting Jibril also said goodbye to little Ayesha.

When he came out of the cafe, Jibril immediately exhaled violently. If Jibril had stayed with Eliza any longer, she might have regained her heart and mind.

"What is finished must be finished. Can't be repeated anymore. Can't!" Jibril to himself.
