The Pursuit of Fatimah Love

Fatimah's anger

Chapter 66

Afif flinched, he looked at Mark who was smiling meaningfully. His gaze now turned to Fatimah, as quickly as Fatimah's lightning lowered her face as their net met.

"Fatimah, I love you. But I'm not the man you want." Mark said with as calm an attitude as possible.

Fatimah raised her face again. Now the three of them looked at Mark who kept smiling.

"So things are back to normal. I think it's a good time for you to get back together." Mark said again with a meaningful smile, looking back at Afif and Fatimah.

Mark grabbed Fatimah's hand and took her to stand near Afif. Now Fatimah was in front of Afif. Slowly, Mark fused Afif and Fatimah's hands together, making them flinch. Salma was only able to stare nanar at them, without being able to speak. Looks clear circles have been creek in the brown eye bead.

Fatimah who was initially dissolved in the atmosphere, suddenly realized and immediately pulled the rough hand that was in the grasp of Afif. Of course, making Afif and Mark flinch and stare at him.

"You can't make a decision!" sergeant Fatimah with a reddened face, while staring intently at Afif and Mark.

"Fatimah...." Mark's speech was interrupted, because Fatimah immediately interrupted his words.

"I think you're different, Mark! You guys are the same! Cowardly man, who never appreciates the feelings of women!" sergeant Fatimah again with a trembling voice. His chest rose and fell with the rumbling of anger.

"Mas Afif, I accepted your proposal sincerely, because I love you! I never thought, if all the misfortune that befell me was because of our togetherness, Mas! But, what are you doing? Instead you want me to marry another man who is your cousin! Fatimah's voice was getting louder. The clear circle had now flowed freely on his face.

Likewise with Salma, his mouth was locked, but the circle that had been berbakiran, now flowing freely also wet his face. He stared at Fatimah. As for Afif, he did not dare to look at Fatimah. He could not see Fatimah's tears.

"You say the ijab and the sacred promise of marriage. But with certainty you give your wife to someone else. What do you think I am, huh? A toy that you will throw away!" Shouted Fatimah, making Afif who looked down, directly staring at Fatimah.

It was only the first time Afif and Mark saw this angry Fatimah. "Fatimah, forgive me, I." Afif said, trying to get out of bed.

Salma immediately approached Afif with a panicked face. "Afif, don't move much! Very dangerous for your injuries!" salma exclaimed, directly hugging Afif's shoulder and trying to prevent him from descending.

A sense of tightness immediately burst into Fatimah's heart. When he saw how worried Salma was about Afif. He also saw a loving look in Salma's eyes.

Fatimah felt her heart ache and hurt. Rubbing her tears rough, Fatimah turned her body and immediately ran out of the treatment room.

"Fatimah!" exclaim Afif and Mark together.

Mark immediately ran after Fatimah. Afif tried to stand up and chase Fatimah, but Salma held her back.

"Please, let go of Salma! Let me go after Fatimah! I want to pursue my love!" Sergey Afif, while pushing rough Salma's body so that it fell on the bed. Afif immediately pulled out a rough infusion hose, making dar*h flow on the back of his hand affected by the infusion needle.

"When this is right, you forgot your promise to me, Afif!"

Instantly Salma's trembling voice stopped Afif's steps. He came to terms with the promise he made to Salma during the tragedy in the old house.

"You promised us to be together, why are you chasing after a woman who has the status of a wife?"

Salma's words made Afif speechless. His feelings are mixed. Happy to see the much-missed Fatimah. However, the very close distance was not able to make him reach Fatimah's body. It seems that even dreams cannot unite them.

Afif turned his body and slowly walked back towards the bed. Salma, who was standing in front of the bed, stared at the Afif nanar with a clear circle that continued to flow.

"I'm sorry, it made you cry! I'm ...." Salma immediately put her index finger right on Afif's lips, shaking her head and immediately hugging Afif.

"I know very well who your heart is for" said Salma, sobbing.

"Give me a chance, though our comparison is like heaven and earth." Salma said again, growing sobbing.

Afif took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment. He returned Salma's embrace and said. "Don't cry, I'll keep my word! Sorry, i!"

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

Meanwhile, Fatimah is now in the mosque located in the hospital area. So solemnly did Fatimah pray the do'a, stirring up all her grievances, shedding all the sorrow that so stifled her chest.

Mark who knew Fatimah ran to the mosque, made his heart relieved and smiled. He also entered the mosque because he had entered the time to pray.

After fulfilling his duty as a Muslim, Mark immediately approached Fatimah who had just come out of the place of prayer for women and immediately aligned his steps with Fatimah.

"I'm hungry, it's lunch time" Mark said, looking up at his watch.

Fatimah, who had complained and poured out sorrow to the Khalik, now felt her heart calmer. A smile appeared on his thin lips, making Mark smile.

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

"Does Indonesian cuisine always match your tongue?" ask Fatimah when she saw Mark was very greedy eating gudeg rice complete with fried chicken galangal.

"My mother is Indonesian and I often visit here, so my tongue is used to it. Especially...." Mark did not continue his words, he looked at Fatimah with a smile. Made Fatimah frown.

"I have a native Indonesian wife and every day I am always in the special menu cuisine Nusantara." Mark said with a smile.

Fatimah returned Mark's smile. But, suddenly the smile instantly disappeared changing with a sad face.

Mark took a rough breath. "Fatimah, I'm sorry! I just ...."

"No need to talk about it anymore! After this, I want to get some rest." Said Fatimah while eating a plate of gudeg presented in front of her.

Mark tried to smile and continued eating. Sometimes he glanced at Fatimah. He knew very well that Fatimah was hurt.

"Why is it so hard to bring you together? In the same place, but with different pairs.' Mark said in his heart.
