Pursuing the Details of His Love Tasbih

Chapter 36 - The Last Choice

What Mami Lala said was like a trauma that came back to haunt Meizia. Like salt sown on an open wound. Disgust, anger, sadness and fear all mixed into one. Last night Meizia cried again because she kept remembering the words of her mother.

In fact, it shook Meizia's resolve in her hijrah desire. However, Meizia recalled what Ameer had said. Life is a choice, and all people on earth are the same.

Meizia again made up her mind to keep going, especially now that she has a future with a very good man.

It didn't take long, Meizia and Ameer's wedding preparations were done let alone this was just a contract. Ameer did not want to delay his good intentions even for a moment, let alone see Meizia live a day.

The news of Ameer's marriage has spread in his neighborhood, surprising everyone let alone his bride is a stranger and no one knows his origin.

However, they remain happy at Ameer's marriage.

Tonight, is the day that Ameer and Meizia are waiting for. The wedding will be held at Ameer's house.

"I didn't expect you would actually marry her" said Rizal, who accompanied Ameer on her wedding preparations.

"I'm sure he's my true love" Ameer said confidently.

"I also feel so," said Rizal who looks happy for the marriage of his friend.

While on the other hand, Meizia was in the guest room. She was being groomed by Shafa and Marwa, and there Hana accompanied her. In fact, the existence of the woman made Meizia very uncomfortable. He felt ashamed, ashamed and guilty. But Hana was very kind and kept smiling as if she was also very happy with this marriage.

"The lipstick is red or pink?" ask Marwa.

"Pink is just natural, prettier," Hana suggested.

"Okay" answered Marwa, and she took a natural pink lipstick and rubbed it on Meizia's surface.

Meizia's two eyes were already glazed over, she was holding back the tears from earlier. "Hold yes, Zia, don't cry first" Shafa teased the woman's cheek powder. "Later her make up is ruined."

"I'm too happy to feel like crying" Meizia said, blinking to keep her tears from spilling.

"Yeah, all brides will cry on their wedding day" Marwa said. "I used to cry too, not out of happiness but out of fear."

"Fear why?" ask Meizia curiously.

"Fear of what my life will be like after marriage, let alone I know that Faruq mas just a month before marriage."

"But now Sister Shafa loves Ilham, right?" marwa Goda.

"He's my soul mate" Shafa replied with a blushing face.

Meizia and Hana could only smile at this two-voiced chat, she said they were two years apart but they were like twins.

Simultaneously, Umm Nayla came to inform him that the agreement was being implemented immediately. The guardian of the judge who will be Meizia's marriage guardian has also come.

"Can you leave us a minute?" ask Ummi Nayla. "Let Ummi take Meizia out" he said.

Shafa, Marwa and Hana could only nod obediently. They left Meizia and her future mother-in-law in the room.

"You nervous?" ask Ummi Nayla while touching the hands of Meizia who feels cold.

"Slightly," Meizia replied with a faint smile.

"Did your mother know you were getting married?"

Meizia only shook her head because she did not tell Mami Lala that she was getting married. "Why?" ask Ummi Nayla.

"I want to tell you, Auntie, I've come to jail. But Mama didn't welcome me very well" Meizia said, looking down deeply. The pain again touched her heart as she recalled Mami Lala's words.

"Why? Is he mad because you put him in jail and stopped all his dirty business?"

"He said I'd stay the same, whatever I wear to cover my body won't erase the facts of the past." Meizia's voice sounded low, actually it hurt to tell this back but she felt she had to be honest with her future mother-in-law.

"Then what did you say?" asked Ummi Nayla who immediately made Meizia look at the middle-aged woman with nanar.

"Tante, I'm trying desperately to forget my past. But why is everyone still questioning it?" Meizia quipped subtly. "I just want to improve myself and Ameer is willing to accompany me on that. If Aunt feels_"

"No, Meizia," argued Umm Nayla. "I'm sorry if Auntie reopens your wounds, it's just that Auntie is still afraid of facing Aunt's son's future."

"Then Aunt can still decide" Meizia said. "Tante has the right to remove this sinful woman from Aunt's pious son, this lady before Aunt will not object."
