Pursuing the Details of His Love Tasbih

Chapter 18 - Misunderstand?

"I will marry Meizia, God willing."

Hana was astonished, her heart was pinched even though she had expected that this was most likely the answer.

Within a few seconds, Hana's face looked tense and her eyes looked very sad but in the next second the woman immediately smiled stiffly.

"Alhamdulillah then" said Hana. "May Allah bless your love, shed His mercy in your marriage and give you the best offspring."

Ameer was truly at a loss for words hearing Hana's much-anticipated prayers and hopes. Makes Ameer feel guilty but at the same time amazed.

"Thank you very much, Hana," said Ameer. "The angel will assure you of your prayers."

"God, Aamiin."

While in the hospital, the doctor treated Meizia who had lost a lot of blood because she was late to get help. It certainly makes Mami Lala afraid, what if Meizia this time can not be saved again?

"What if he dies?" muttered Mami Lala while kneeling her temple. "Ah, really stupid that kid. I was willing to let her go with her boyfriend but she wanted to go to the afterlife."

"Excuse me, Ms Lala?"

Mami Lala looked up when there was a nurse approaching her. "Please take care of the patient administration first," said the Sister who made Mami Lala look upset.

"Can't it later?" snapped it. "I'm having this headache, my son is almost dead" he grumbled.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm just doing my job" said the Sister, who again upset Mami Lala.

"Yes already."

As the day approaches, as usual Ameer and his parents will pray and teach at the musholla. After all the work was done, they went home for dinner.

However, at this moment Ameer who felt an uneasy feeling in her heart could only pacing back and forth in her room. Why he keeps thinking about Meizia, Ameer worries about the girl and Ameer's stupidity because she just realized she doesn't have Meizia's mobile number.

"Should I go to his house?" Ameer muttered. "But it's impossible, it's late. It could be slander if I go there."

"Oh my God, please take care of him."

Along with that, there was the sound of knocking on the door and the sound of children. Ameer immediately rushed out and instantly her eyes twinkled looking at the two smiling girls smiling at her.

"Assalamualaikum, Um!" greet the two children at the same time.

"Waalaikum salam, Adiba and Amina." Ameer immediately knelt down to align her face with her two nephews. "Who are you, Hem? om didn't know that you guys would come here."

"Sama Ummi," answered the two children at once. The two children were cousins but they were like twins despite the age of one year. But they both have a lot in common and always go together, of course because their two mothers were also very close since childhood.

Not long after, Ameer's older sister named Shafa came and spread her hands to Ameer. "What, Ma'am?" ask Ameer confused.

"Who said?" cry Ameer.

"Said Abi Ummi," replied Shafa who looked excited.

"Sir, I told Hana this afternoon that I couldn't marry her" Ameer said with great emphasis and that surprised her.

"What max? Just this afternoon Ummi called us and asked us to come here to talk about your marriage, Ameer."

Ameer could only be stunned while before long the voice of the mother who called him to dinner.

"We'd better eat and then talk about it" Shafa said. "Come kids! We're eating now!"

Adiba and Amina immediately held Shafa's hand and they went to the dining table, while Ameer was still standing in his place with increasingly chaotic thoughts and feelings.

"Ameer?"

The mother's voice again made Ameer immediately rushed to him.

At the dinner table, there is another sister of Ameer, Marwa. Just like Shafa, her brother was about to congratulate Ameer but Shafa immediately gave her a gesture of silence.

"Why so long, Ameer?" ummi asked Nayla as Ameer sat by her side. "It's not usually that we have to call you over and over like this to eat."

"Sorry, Ummi," that's the only word Ameer can say.

"Oh yeah, Abi talked to Hana's brother about your marriage."

"I'm sorry to interrupt, Abi" Ameer said quickly. "But I think there's been a misunderstanding here." Ameer said very carefully. "I talked to Hana this afternoon, we—"

"We know," cut Umm Nayla. "But we think you're the one who misinterpreted your feelings for that woman, maybe you're just sympathetic to her."

"I love her, Ummi," said Ameer.

"What exactly happened?" Shafa as the eldest brother began to make a sound, he saw there was an awkwardness with the state of this family.

"He wants to marry a woman of his own choice" replied Abi Zaid. "But we can't condone it because ...." Abi's gaze was on his two granddaughters, of course he did not want them to hear inappropriate words.

"Because what?" ask Marwa.

"She's a woman of the night" replied Ameer, who made her two brothers stare.

"Astagfirullah, Deck, how can it be?" peeker Marwa

Ameer just shook her head, because she did not know how she knew Meizia the more she loved her.

"Now do you understand why we still chose Hana as Ameer's companion?"
