Pursuing the Details of His Love Tasbih

Chapter 33 - Decision

Today is probably the happiest day of a Meizia's life, where she can decide for herself what she does in her life.

"Can you work as this cashier?" riana asked after giving a little lesson on how to become a cashier.

"Can, Ma'am," Meizia replied with a smile.

"Defend that," Riana said with a chuckle.

"What?" meizia asked because she did not know what Riana was keeping from her.

"Smile you, Meizia," Riana replied. "I think you're the type of person who can't smile, your face is always tense. People will be afraid to see your face if it continues to be so, can-can my restaurant be quiet."

Meizia gave a small laugh hearing Riana's joke. "Well, occasionally laughing is also good," Riana said.

"Thank you, Ma'am" Meizia said once again.

How can Meizia not smile today? Ameer's mother came to see him and asked Meizia to accept Ameer, and now she gets a good job in a good neighborhood.

All these blessings she never thought she would get.

"Oh yeah, May, how old are you? Ever school?" the great-grandson of Riana who was curious a long time ago, because the woman was so closed. "Please don't take it personally, I'm just curious and actually everyone who works here fills out the form also shows their identity cards" she said.

"It's okay" Meizia took out the ID card from inside the bag and gave it to Riana. "I'm 22 now, Ma'am, I went to college but only two semesters because after that I." Meizia said softly at the end of the sentence.

"I'm sorry, Meizia" Riana said.

"It's okay, it's the past" Meizia said. "If I work and can save, maybe I can continue my studies later."

"You certainly can," said Riana cheered. "You're so young, Meizia, really. I was thinking maybe you're 25 or 27."

"My face is that old?" kekeh Meizia's.

"No," Riana quickly denied. "I just don't think you're in this kind of environment at such a young age."

"I've been in that neighborhood even since I was pregnant" said Meizia who immediately made Riana realize she had brought up Meizia's past.

"The spirit of work, Meizia," he said quickly. "Welcome to a new life, Hem?"

While on the other hand, Shafa and Marwa are sharing some friends of Meizia in order to work at her place also in the restaurant Riana.

They see Jenny as a smart girl so Shafa puts the girl as well as the cashier. Ameer was also there, she wanted to know if everyone had gotten what job or not.

"The other two will go to Riana's restaurant" Shafa said. "You take them there, Ameer."

"Okay," said Ameer.

"Do you all remember my message?" ameer asked all the women. "There is no need to tell anyone about your past, if anyone asks, you are not obliged to answer. Just focus on working," he said.

"And I only pay you according to the standard," continued Shafa. "I hope you work well together so that our store will advance, because if the store advances then automatically your salary is greater."

"Thank you very much" Jenny and the others said sincerely.

Ameer takes the other two women to Riana's restaurant, Gita and Indy.

"I hope you can work well there" said Ameer. "There's Meizia."

"Will Ustadz marry Meizia as the people say?" gita's chirp that instantly made Ameer chuckle.

"You better focus on working, don't think about it" Ameer said.

"Meizia's a good boy actually, Ustadz," Gita said. "I've been working with Mami Lala for a long time so I know Meizia very well, the boy wants to go to school and be a successful person in order to change his mother's life. But Mami Lala is reluctant to pay Meizia's tuition fees and sells the poor girl instead. Many times he tried to escape but Mami Lala always managed to catch him. The last time was a few months ago, he tortured Meizia in front of all of us. Even until she fainted, Mami Lala kept beating her. "

Ameer's heart was like it was pierced by thousands of swords hearing that story. "It's best not to discuss the past" Ameer pointedly asked. The man's eyes were already glazed, his jaw hardened imagining the torment Meizia received, not only physical but also psychic.

Gita fell silent and nodded in understanding, who wants to hear the bad stories of loved ones?

Arriving at the restaurant, Ameer immediately drove Gita and Indy to meet Riana. After that, he met Meizia who was guarding the cashier.

"Good morning," Meizia replied kindly.

"Why? It difficult?" ask Ameer.

"No," Meizia replied with a small laugh.

"Hem, you can laugh . Did you get your first salary?" it was Ameer's God who made Meizia laugh.

"No, Ameer, I'm just happy to be able to work" Meizia replied. "Oh yes, so who will work here Gita and Indy? Jenny works at your sister's?"

"Yep, he's in the same position as you, so cashier."

"That's a very good position."

Ameer nodded.

"Oh yes, your mother came to see me," said Meizia who made Ameer surprised.

"Why? What's Ummi doing?"

"He said you loved me" Meizia said shyly as she bowed.

"Then?" ask Ameer. "You're surprised? Didn't I tell you that I love you?"

Meizia glanced at Riana who was now walking towards her, already there were some customers coming as well.

"Can we talk at lunch? It's my work clock" Meizia said.

"Okay," Ameer replied excitedly.

Along with that, Hana came to the restaurant and she immediately greeted Ameer as well as Meizia. "What are you talking about? It looks very serious" Hana said.

"Nothing" Meizia replied, being in front of Hana made her feel inferior. Hana is deeper than her, but how can she win Ameer's heart.

"If anything is important, just go ahead" Hana said. "Let me guard the cashier."

"Good idea" said Ameer with even more vigor.

"But_"

"It's okay" said Hana while pulling Meizia. "Or don't take too long."

"Come on!" Ameer took Meizia to a chair in the corner. Meizia still felt bad, but Hana gestured for her to leave.

"Thank you, Hana," said Meizia then she followed Ameer.

"So? What did Ummi tell you, Meizia? Just about that love?" ask Ameer impatiently.

"She said she would bless your love and accept me as long as I was a good wife to you" Meizia said.

"So?" ask Ameer.

"I'm not a good woman, Ameer, but I hope you will lead me to be a good wife?"

"So you're my wife?"

"I hope you don't mind my future.

"Meizia, do you want to be my wife or not?" Ameer asked with great emphasis as Meizia kept twisting the words. Though who wants Ameer with only yes or no.

"Do you think I can be the woman you deserve?"

"Astag." Ameer growled between annoyance and anxiety.

"Let's keep each other steady, Meizia. You try to establish yourself as a mum and I will try to establish myself as a good priest to teach you many things."
