The Pursuit of Fatimah Love

We face together

Chapter 21

"Sarah, what's your plan now? They think you died in that accident?" Arman looked at Sarah.

Sarah smiled as she poured two glasses of wine on the table and gave one of them into Arman's hand. They sipped the wine at the same time.

"We will run a second scenario, so that the authorities do not suspect if the accident that occurred is deliberate" Sarah said as she returned to sip the wine.

"In a moment, the treasure will fall into my hands and Afif won't get a dime, I will make his life suffer, just like his parents made my family suffer!" said Sarah, with a vengeful fire in her eyeballs.

Arman was silent at Sarah's words. Deep down he felt guilty towards his family especially Abi and Uminya. However, when remembering how Maulana hajj as a father often distinguishes himself with his brother Ilham. In fact, he is also often compared to Fatimah who has the status of his youngest sister.

It is this unfair feeling that makes Arman desperate to cooperate with Sarah, Arsyad and Nabila. Greed has also taken hold of him, the lust of the world has blinded him, what else Sarah and Arsyad offer a lot of money and a luxurious life.

*****************

That morning after breakfast, Afif and Fatimah arrived by a man who had long been believed to be the lawyer of his family. The lawyer named Fuad was carrying documents of inheritance that Azhar had signed.

Afif read in detail the contents of the legacy letter. Once in the sense that everything is correct and appropriate, Afif intends to anoint his signature. Suddenly, a voice surprised them.

"You don't have the right to sign the inheritance! because the inheritance letter is not true!"

The loud voice of a woman who echoed made their eyes perfectly round, they did not believe the presence of the female figure who was now in front of them. The woman came with a middle-aged man.

"Tante Sarah" said Fatimah, with a face of disbelief.

"Mrs Sarah" said Mr. Fuad no less surprised.

Afif just stared intently at Sarah. His face was flushed, his facial jaw was hardened and both of his palms were clenched firmly. Emotions were stirring in his chest.

"What are you planning to do snake woman?" Ask Afif in an emotional tone.

Sarah laughed with satisfaction at the anger on Afif's face. He stepped closer to them and casually sat down on the sofa right next to Afif's wheelchair.

"Afif, you should have welcomed me with joy, because I survived the accident" Sarah said, trying to touch Afif's face.

"This is all your scheming sly woman!" snapped Afif, keeping his face out of Sarah's hands.

Sarah chuckles at Afif's rejection, she asks the man who came with her to sit on the sofa. The man obediently followed Sarah's orders.

"Sir Burhan, show them the letters!" Sarah's orders to a man named Burhan, who is none other than her lawyer.

"Good Madam" Mr. Burhan nodded and took out the map containing the inheritance letter and handed it to them.

They frowned reading all the letters Azhar had signed. Afif's face turned red and looked at Sarah, who seemed to be smiling with satisfaction.

"This is impossible Madam, Mr. Azhar has already handed over all the signed letters on the stamp duty to me." Said Mr. Fuad.

"Sorry Mr. Fuad, here it has been explained and it has been confirmed that the late Mr. Azhar consciously changed all the contents of the inheritance letter, he said, because all this time he saw how the struggle of Lady Sarah accompanied him.!" Sergea pak Burhan.

"In that case, we will check the authenticity of the letter in your hands!" replied Mr. Fuad did not want to lose.

"It's not that easy, Afif, I prepared strong evidence, if I can get out of the accident! and all my husband's wealth will fall into my hands!" firmly Sarah.

"If you still want to survive, and want your legs back to normal, that's something easy, as long as ....." Sarah did not continue her words, she smiled smirk while staring at the cynical Fatimah.

Fatimah understood very well what Sarah meant, she looked at Afif, gently touching Afif's arm.

"I'm sincere, whatever you decide, Mas" Fatimah said in a soft voice, returning a sly smile engraved on Sarah's lips.

"Never think of getting away from Fatimah, stay by my side, stand by me no matter what" Afif said, clasping Fatimah's hand, making Sarah blush, staring hatefully at them.

"We'll settle this in court!" Afif exclaimed, staring alternately at Sarah and Mr. Burhan.

"Alright, if I am proven right, you must accept the consequences Afif!" sergeant Sarah.

"I'll accept whatever the risk is, but if you're proven to be cheating, I'll make sure you rot in jail.!" Afif's words made Sarah's face more red.

"Then, good luck in court!" Sarah said as she stepped away in the follow by Mr. Burhan.

"I will try to prove the authenticity of these letters Mr. Afif, me and the team will also help to prosecute Mrs Sarah, for fraud and her involvement in the accident that occurred at that time" said Mr. Fuad.

"Thank you for your trust and help" Afif smiled.

"It's my duty as a lawyer, then I say thank you Mr. Madam" said Mr. Fuad answered nods and smiles by Afif and Fatimah.

"I'm sorry Mas, if our togetherness puts you in a circle of trouble" Fatimah said in a trembling voice.

"What did you say? It is precisely I who apologize, have not been able to make you happy born and inner" Afif replied staring fixedly Fatimah, while holding gently his shoulder. A moment Afif was silent, while staring fixedly at Fatimah and sighing.

"Fatimah, if all this wealth had passed into Sarah's hands and I had nothing with my crippled condition, would you still want to be my wife who continues to stand by me?" Afif asked with a pushy look, fear suddenly bursting into his heart. The fear of losing it all especially losing Fatimah.

Smiling, Fatimah said, "Isn't our purpose in marriage because of God? I accept you as my husband not because of your wealth! I don't think I need to explain it anymore."

The eyes of Fatimah were already glazed.

"I'm sorry Fatimah ... I'm sorry, I'm so scared of losing you." Afif could no longer cover up his heartbreak. The first time she cried in front of a woman other than Bi Rina. He cried while looking down at the back of Fatimah's hand.

"We will face this with Mas, never consider me anyone else" Fatimah gently stroked Afif's hair, making Afif drown his head in Fatimah's arms, shedding all his fear and sorrow.
