The Pursuit of Fatimah Love

There is a heart I must take care of

Chapter 48

Fatimah was silent, she did not know what to answer. Alex and Grace looked at each other. They were happy, seeing Mark who had found the right woman. However, on the other hand they feel sad, why should Fatimah, the woman Mark wanted.

"Can I ask you a question?" Fatimah asked, forced to look at Mark's face. He wanted to find sincerity in Mark's eyes.

"I'll always answer whatever questions you ask me" Mark said with a smile. There was a twinkle of happiness on his face, for Fatimah was willing to talk to him, even, looking at him at a close distance.

"What is your reason and purpose, so as to get to know me more?" Fatimah asked, still staring at Mark's face.

Mark smiled at Fatimah's question. "You are a special woman. The first woman who was able to shake my heart." replied Mark, who could not escape his gaze from Fatimah's face.

"I want us to have a serious and committed relationship." Mark said in a loud voice, signifying his seriousness.

"Sorry, Mr Mark, does this mean you're asking me to be your wife?" Fatimah asked with a face full of firmness.

"That's very true Elza," said Mark who suddenly knelt before Fatimah, making them all flinch.

"Elza, marry me! Be the friend of my life!" pinta Mark with a face full of sincerity and sincerity.

Fatimah is silent, Mark's statement makes her realize that she loves Afif very much.

"Sorry Mr. Mark, I can't be your wife, because ...." Fatimah did not continue her words. His heart felt very tight when he remembered the figure of Afif.

"Sorry, Mr. Mark. I can't be your wife because there is one heart that I care for" Fatimah said, holding back the turmoil in her heart.

Mark sighed, slowly he stood up and sat back down to his chair.

Alex and Grace are only mediators and listeners among them, as all decisions are in the hands of Fatimah.

"I won't force your feelings, but I'll wait for you" Mark said, leaving them all shocked.

"Sorry, Sir. Please don't make me a sinner! I don't want to have a heart hurt because of me!" sergeant Fatimah, he looked back at Mark.

"I promise I won't blame you if we don't match. But please let me love you." Pinta Mark made Fatimah shake her head.

Sadness now rippled in his heart. Right now, he greatly missed Afif's presence. Since Afif left her in New York City, they never communicate again, according to Afif's message if it was for their good.

"I'm sure you'll definitely come to pick me up as you promised." Fatimah said in her heart. The clear circle has now emptied into his eyeballs. As much as Fatimah could hold him.

"I'm sorry, it seems like no one has to talk anymore" said Fatimah as she got up from her seat.

Mark, Alex and Grace stood up. "I'm sorry Elza, if my statements and requests make you uncomfortable." Mark said while looking at Fatimah.

"It's okay, Mr. Mark. I'm grateful for your feelings and I'm sorry for not being able to repay them in accordance with your expectations." Fatimah said while nodding her head.

"After this incident, I hope we can still be friends" Mark asked, he was very afraid, if his request had just made Fatimah stay away from him.

"Of course, aren't you the niece most dear to Grace's mom and Alek's dad?" Fatimah said while showing her sweet smile.

Fatimah's sweet smile made Mark's heart tremble even more. However, he immediately brushed it off. He was determined inwardly to continue to love Fatimah in his heart and would mention Fatimah by name at every prayer.

"Don't call me master, just call Mark" Mark's pinta made Fatimah smile.

"Well, because I can't possibly call you mas, like I've got Afif mas." Fatimah said with a small laugh, by mentioning the name of Afif alone, has become a happiness for him.

In contrast to Mark who was immediately silent when Fatimah mentioned the name Afif. What else does the twinkle of happiness look on Fatimah's pretty face. Grace and Alex throw a look back.

"Is the lucky man really Afif Abidzar?" Mark asked with his chest pounding, what else when Fatimah nodded her head.

Mark took a rough breath. She did not expect that she and Afif loved the same woman.

...****************...

Mark sat pensively staring at some photos of Afif and Fatimah given by Alex. He did not expect that Afif and Fatimah had once been married to a simple wedding party. Now Mark knows that Elza's real name is Fatimah.

Since Mark studied business and became one of the important officials in the New York government, making him dissolve in his busy life, even, for his personal affairs are ignored. Including the wedding invitation that Afif gave her.

"Why am I sebod*h this? Falling in love with my cousin's ex-wife." Mark cursed his own kebod*hannya.

Mark recalled the time when he and Afif still met and communicated. Afif has always liked women because of his macho Indonesian face and very cool style.

" Mark," a call and a pat on his shoulder, made him wake up from his past daydreams with Afif.

"Hi, Om," cried Afif, as Alex sat before him.

"Are you okay?" alex looked at Mark.

"I'm fine" Mark replied with a smile.

Alex smiled and nodded. "If we love someone, it doesn't mean we have to have them. Sometimes, we will be happy when we see someone we love living happily with someone else." Alex said, making Mark look closely at Alex.

"If you want to share a story about the past, I'm ready to listen" Afif's words made Alex speechless and then laugh.

"Mark, I used to love Anjani" Alex said, making Mark frown.

"For me Anjani is the perfect woman. No woman can make my heart quiver but Anjani" Alex said with a smile. His eyes and face look like he's reminiscing about the past.

"You know Mark, everything changed when Grace met me in my life" Alex said with a smile.

"Anjani omu means, is aunt Anjani the mama of Afif?" Mark looked closely at Alex.

"Yes right Mark, Anjani is Afif's mother. The first woman who was able to make me fall in love at first sight." Alex smiled back. Mark doesn't believe Alex's past statements.

"At that time, my heart was very broken Mark, when Anjani turned out to love my cousin Azhar, even, until they were married," Alex said with a sigh.

"Om left Indonesia and decided to settle in the country. Until finally fate brings om to meet Grace," said Alex with a happy face.

"For both times the heart trembles. In fact, the vibe is more great when you meet Grace than with Anjani" Alex said again with a smile.

"Do you know what I mean?" Alex asked who was answered nodding by Mark.

...****************...

To love someone we love for someone else must be very painful. But it hurts even more if we force that love.

What will be your destiny will surely come to you. And vice versa, how strong you pursue it, if not your destiny will definitely escape from your grasp.
