Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #56 -

Some say time can change everything, but in fact the narrative will not always be true. Time cannot change the feelings of Jibril or Elzara, time actually deceives them by hiding the feeling they have so far that they both think the feeling has changed and disappeared.

But it's not like that. Time hides their flavor very well as if waiting for the right moment to bring it up.

It did not feel they had been three hours on a flight to London, both Eliza and Jibril were still equally silent. Christie who saw it became anxious herself, but unfortunately she could not help melt their atmosphere because Christie was busy taking care of Ayesha who was now a little fussy. The boy was sleepy but said he could not sleep.

Gabriel himself was busy reading a book, as was Eliza. Every now and then the two men glanced at each other, then threw away their faces when they were almost caught glancing. It happened again and again.

In fact, neither Jibril nor Eliza focused on their books. However, they need a diversion at this time. Sometimes Eliza took a deep breath when she imagined this flight would take about 10 hours, meaning that during these 10 hours she would be close to Jibril.

Somehow Eliza will face these few hours, he thought. Suddenly Eliza felt like urinating, she tried to hold it but in the end she stood up. It caught Jibril's attention, he barked and looked at Eliza as if asking what was going on.

"Excuse me.." That one word only came out of Eliza's lips, and it was without any expression that made Jibril's heart pluck out.

When Eliza left, Jibril could only let out a lethargic breath, Jibril really did not expect Eliza to change much. It used to be very friendly, sweet and anegeric. I don't know why now the girl is so cold and so cute.

Once Jibril let out a faint sigh, after which he closed his book and closed his eyes again and covered his face with a jacket, seemingly sleeping better.

While on the other hand, after Eliza finished urinating, she washed her hands. And after that Eliza stared at the reflection of herself in the mirror. "Patience, El. The ice cube master was that way long ago, right? Ignore him, you have no business with him either" grumbled Eliza.

Eliza washed her face or what she learned was her name was ablution, although Eliza could not memorize her intentions, but Eliza the memory of the ablution step-step. This was a small thing that he could learn on his own.

When Eliza returned to her seat, she found Jibril who had covered his face with a jacket. Eliza can only shake her head. He also turned to Christie who was currently sleeping as well as Ayesha.

As Eliza was about to return to her seat, Eliza tripped on her own leg which made her fall on Jibril.

Jibril opened his eyes and pulled his jacket. "Sorry," said Eliza while trying to stand up, her face was already flushed red.

"Are you okay?" ask Jibril worriedly.

"Emm. no," replied Eliza. Eliza immediately returned to her seat with a thumping feeling.

"I'm sorry, yes" he said later grimacing. "So I was humming," her grimacing tweet responded with a warm smile by Jibril.

For a moment, the atmosphere returned awkwardly, the two people both had the desire to open a chat. However, both of them also do not know where to start, so...

"YOU..." Jibril and Eliza said at the same time.

"You first," kekeh Jibril then. Eliza gave a smile as she looked for what words she could say now, while Jibril waited patiently as he himself did not know what to do.

"You go first" Eliza said at last.

"Loh, you go first!" reply Jibril.

"It's okay, you go first" Eliza replied again.

"No, you go first. Ladies first he said," said Jibril would not lose.

"In addition to being an ice cube master apparently you become a stubborn master as well, yes. His name is a man, yes, it should be a woman," said Eliza who began to come out of her true nature. Jibril who realized that was precisely chuckling, may he say that there is a longing in his heart with this kind of attitude of Eliza?

"Yes if the woman does not want to be forced dong!" sergeant Eliza is getting upset.

"Yes I'm not a maksa, I just let you know, what were you talking about?"

"I'm confused as to what to say."

Eliza's reply instantly made Jibril laugh, apparently the woman was still unchanged as Jibril had expected. Eliza who was laughed at was now just pouting, she also threw away her face because she was ashamed of her own answer.

"Actually I was also confused about what to say, so I forced you to talk first," said Jibril then who made Eliza immediately turn her head, the woman looked at Jibril with a look that Jibril could not understand. However, Jibril soon avoids eye contact with Eliza or Jibril will sink back into his love that is just a taste in the heart.

"Emm how are you?" ask Eliza at last.

"Well," replied Jibril while opening his book again.

"Emm your family how are you?" eliza asked again, she was trying to melt the atmosphere as well as the current state of affairs because it seemed Chris was right, maybe Jibril can help Eliza learn her new faith she adopted 6 months ago when she went to Palestine.

"Well, too" replied Jibril casually but it made Eliza sigh in lethargy.

"How are your wife and children?" eliza asked at last in a slightly taut tone. Jibril who was asked such a question immediately glared in surprise, he was silent for a moment until Eliza again asked the same question. "They're good too?" tanyakanya.

Jibril narrowed his eyes, his forehead wrinkled and his mind wondered if Eliza thought she was married?

"They're good," Jibril finally replied, thinking it would be better if Eliza thought she was married, maybe the two of them could go back to making a long distance.

While Eliza was just a mangosteen, she imagined Jibril's wife must be very beautiful, graceful, and smart. Jibril must have loved him a lot because Jibril was a very nice man.

There is a speck of jealousy in Eliza's heart when she finds out the man she still loves has apparently become someone else's.

"What boy are you a girl?" ask Eliza again.

"Azmi's a man," Jibril answered truthfully. Of course, Azmi was indeed a boy and the boy was his nephew. But Jibril wasn't lying, this was the way Micheal taught him to avoid asking questions that couldn't be answered honestly.

"Okay," answered Eliza finally resigned. Jibril just gave a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Christie has now woken up from her sleep. The woman immediately asks Eliza to look after Ayesha because Christie wants to go to the toilet.

"You from behind, too, El? How'd your face get wet?" ask Christie because there is still water on Eliza's face.

"Yes, I was ablution" answered Eliza who made Jibril look up and looked at Eliza.

"Your ablution?" pekik Jibril who only answered a nod of the head by Eliza, after which he moved to Christie's chair to look after Ayesha. While Jibril was in his place, did he just hear Eliza say she was ablution?

Jibril glanced at Eliza's open bag, then Jibril picked up a book familiar to him. The book is a guidebook on how to pray properly which is commonly studied by children in the Madrasah.

"Him?"
