Istikharah Love Jibril Emerson

Chapter #63 - Terms?

Madam Jill sat contemplating her daughter who experienced so much of life, the terrible tragedy of childhood, shutting herself down, that all the changes that took place brought Eliza to the present point. Of course, all that is not easy for the Eliza family, they also experience inner struggles that are quite tiring.

However, if this is the fate that Eliza has to live, they can't do anything. Especially now that Eliza has grown up, has been able to make her own decisions.

Now she can only hope that Eliza will remain her daughter even if she has to marry a Muslim.

The next day, Lady Jill woke Eliza up because her daughter was still sleeping when it was noon.

"I'm still so sleepy, Mom," grumbled Eliza.

"Jibril and his family are already on the road, El," cried Mrs Jill who made Eliza aghast, she immediately rose from her sleep and glanced at the clock that had shown at 11.

"Why wasn't I awake earlier, Mom?" lamented Eliza who made the mother immediately shake her head.

"I've woken you up, El. But you're like a fainting person" said Mrs Jill. "Quick shower after it's down!" her word.

Without wasting time Eliza immediately got out of her bed, she rushed to the bathroom to refresh herself.

Like a common proposal, Jibril and his parents will come to Eliza's house to propose to Eliza officially. Jibril and his family had not contacted Jill, but she had to lie to Eliza so that her son would wake up.

While on the other hand, Jibril is currently preparing as well as his parents. If in the past Jibril did not feel nervous at all when talking to Darrel, now Jibril actually felt nervous and anxious when imagining going to talk directly to Eliza's parents to ask their daughter.

"Why?" abi Gabriel asked who saw Jibril looking agitated.

"Duggle, Bi," replied Jibril briefly and immediately the father chuckled.

"Calm down, don't be nervous. We have blessed your relationship, this proposal is only to formalize your relationship towards marriage" said Abi Gabriel.

"You guys ready?" ask Ummi Firda who just came out of her room.

"Have we left now?" ask Abi Gabriel.

"Wait a minute" said Ummi Firda. "What's wrong with your eyes, Jay?" he asked while touching the dark circles under Jibril's eyes.

"Maybe due to lack of sleep, Ummi. You see, last night I only slept two hours" replied Jibril.

"Why?" ask the mother again.

"Maybe because of nervousness" Abi Gabriel replied with a chuckle.

"Honey, don't reveal Jibril's age! What's wrong with Jibril being 39? He is still handsome, still fresh" Abi Gabriel said in defense of the son who continues to be ridiculed by his own mother. While Jibril just chuckled with the grunts of the woman who had given birth to it.

"In our family history no one married over 35 years, Bang. This Jibril is making history, you know," exclaimed Ummi Firda again.

"Yes he did make history, willing to hold his love for years until finally fate returned the love by itself. Beautiful history, right?" kekeh Abu Gabriel's.

"I think we can leave now before my nervousness levelles up," Jibril finally continued.

They immediately rushed to Eliza's house which was quite far from Jibril's house, along the way Umm Firda gave advice to Jibril as a provision for his future household life.

Moreover, the characters and backgrounds of Eliza and Jibril are different, there will be many differences of opinion, thought and so on in their households later.

"But no matter what happens, Ummi hopes you can be good for your family, Jay. Because living in a household is not enough to just rely on loving each other," said Ummi Firda. "There is more important than that, your faith and devotion. Bring your love to obedience and God will guard your love, never fear lust. Because the devil if you see a married person, then his mission is to separate the husband from his wife in various ways that people usually think it is the best way. Whereas if you see people dating, they will try to unite them in all ways that look beautiful."

"Goddessa, Ummi. If you accept this marriage, then I am sure God will also bless us."

After a few minutes they finally arrived at Eliza's house, they were greeted warmly by Eliza's parents. The greeting that made both parents Jibril also feel comfortable and felt very appreciated.

"Please sit!" they were allowed to sit in the living room, after which Lady Jill called Eliza after which she prepared drinks and snacks for the Jibrils.

"Hey?" greeting Eliza as she was already in the living room, Eliza smiled sumringah, making the woman look so beautiful.

"Assalamualaikum, Eliza," said Jibril while chuckling that made Eliza immediately wrong. Unexpectedly, Eliza's father actually followed laughing when he saw the look on Eliza's face.

Eliza was wearing casual clothes as usual and she was not wearing the hijab as Jibril had hoped, although Jibril did not mind it because he knew Eliza was still in the learning process. Eliza also sat down beside her father, she also threw a friendly smile at the parents of Jibril who was replied with a friendly smile also by them.

Shortly thereafter Mrs Jill came to bring fresh drinks and some snacks for her guests. "Thank you" said Jibril as his future mother-in-law placed the drink in front of him.

Madam Jill only smiled faintly in response to Jibril's remarks, after which she sat down beside Eliza.

"Thank you for the meal" said Abi Gabriel, then sipped the orange juice that was served to her. "We both know that our children have loved each other for a long time, and after being separated for many years, now they are rediscovered and different situations and conditions." Abi Gabriel looked at Jibril then he looked at Eliza, smiling she said. "My son is not good at expressing his feelings, because that's why we were shocked when he suddenly said he had found the woman he wanted to make a wife," he added.

Madam Jill and her husband smiled at Abi Gabriel's words and they knew it was true, moreover Darrel and Christie had already told them about Jibril. While Jibril could only bow deeply, for some reason he felt his father's words were too long, or was this how people proposed? Gabriel really did not understand.

"I'm in shock, too, Om" Eliza said. "Even the choice of the sentence invites marriage is somewhat how it is, Om. Jibril's time said gini 'What if we marry?'" everyone who heard Eliza's story immediately chuckled. Ummi Firda was only able to shake his head, whether the character who was handed down to Jibril so that his son was really stiff like that.

"We are willing to give our blessing for the first time" Mr Henry said later. "But we have some conditions, if Jibril can fulfill them then we are willing to release Eliza for him."
