Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #5 - Final Decision

For the first time, Shalwa stared right in Jibril's eyes who was currently also staring at him. Jibril's heart was like being crushed when he saw the wounds and sorrow in Shalwa's eyes, cursed is he who has toyed with the feelings and honor of a woman even though he was born of a woman and chose a daughter and niece.

However this was the best path Jibril had thought of, as he had seen the marriage of his brother and sister. All the hidden truths become a ticking time bomb in their lives, destroying them at any given moment even those around them are affected.

That's why Jibril said honestly, even though it was too late but at least the step was not too far.

"Have you thought about what the impact would be if our marriage was annulled?" Shalwa was no longer able to stem his tears and it made Jibril's chest tightened with guilt.

"Yes" replied Jibril.

"What?" Shalwa asked wanting to know Jibril's answer even though he himself knew what the answer was.

"Maybe people will talk about our families, scorn us. And..."

"And the most derided scorn must be us, especially Shalwa," his father interrupted Jibril's speech. "Women are always wrong, Gabriel. If we tell the male party that canceled the marriage, then people will make news that our child was dumped and dumped. If we say our side annulled the marriage, then people will make our news that we are evil and uncivilized for showing the groom." he continued, which made Jibril more resigned to Shalwa's decision because what he said his future father-in-law was very true.

While Shalwa was increasingly in a dilemma, on the one hand he loved Jibril and had to keep his honor. But on the other hand, he also cannot force a man who does not love him to marry him. What will their marriage be like if one of the brides is forced? If one person loves another person?

"Did you really leave all the decisions to me?" Shalwa asked Jibril who was immediately answered with a definite nod by Jibril. "Then give me a little time to think."

"Shalwa..," exclaimed his mother. "There's nothing else to think about, we can't possibly cancel this marriage. Everything's ready, Shalwa. If this marriage is broken, people will talk about us, scorn us. We won't have the face to look at them again, Shalwa." her mother said with great emphasis because she knew this marriage was off.

"Movies..." Ummi Firda also spoke. "Love can come by itself later, son. Maybe now there is another woman in Jibril's heart, but after marriage .. you can definitely make him love you," Ummi Firda who actually also does not want to cancel this marriage.

"Will Aunt marry a man who clearly loves another woman?" Ummi Firda's heart immediately gasped at the todong with that question by Shalwa. "Would aunty Masiih want to marry a man who is clearly in his istikharahanya see other women?"

Ummi Firda was unable to speak, even now her mother Shalwa was silent as if the question was also on her. Jibril, his father and Shalwa's father can now be silent for only a thousand words as they try to understand Shalwa's position.

Shalwa let out a long sigh, trying to harden the heart that had flowered but now had been torn apart. Shalwa looked at his parents and then looked at Jibril's parents until finally his gaze was met again with Jibril's gaze which also looked at him with sadness.

"It took me a while to think, but now I have my final decision" Shalwa said. "Cancel our marriage and shut our ears so as not to hear the neighbor's words."
