Zulaikha's Last Love

Chapters. 16. Forgets

Zulaikha and Syifa looked at a man standing at the door, their minds beginning to guess whether the man heard their chatter or not.

"when was Mas here?" syifa asked, she stared intently at Defin who was looking at Zulaikha.

"Zulaikha, I want to talk to you!" Defin stepped his feet away from the brothers without answering Syifa's question, Zulaikha immediately rose to follow the steps of the husband.

"i'm with you!" pinta Syifa while holding the brother's hand, she was afraid that Defin would do something to her brother.

"don't, it's Ma'am's business!" zulaikha said as she took off Syifa's handrails, she then chased after Defin's steps who had been sitting in the guest room.

"what is it?" zulaikha asked after landing her butt on the sofa, while Defin sat right in front of her.

"are you satisfied, making a fuss?" defin asked sharply, he felt annoyed when the Mother scolded him.

"me? making noise?" zulaikha asked puzzledly, when and where did he make a fuss? thought.

"can't you solve the problem well?"

Zulaikha jumped in shock upon hearing Defin's words, he then got up and stared intently at the man.

"what's that commotion do you mean, Mas? and what am I not doing well?" zulaikha asked with a tone that began to rise, she really did not understand the way her husband thought.

"what should you do, you complain to my parents that you want a divorce with me? huh uh?" defin said with emotion, he just wanted to solve the problem but Zulaikha instead complained to his parents.

"then I have to complain to who is Mas? if not for your parents!" zulaikha said with great emphasis. His face turned red due to the outpouring of emotions that began to envelop his heart.

"we can solve our own household problems, Zulaikha!" hiss Defin, he also rose with a sharp gaze towards the wife.

Zulaikha took a deep breath, and exhaled it slowly to calm the feeling of emotion that had reached his crown.

"i'm complaining not because I want to open up our household problems, Mas. But because I want to divorce you!" lirih Zulaikha who directly lowered his head.

"divorce? are you sure you want a divorce with me?" tanya Defin with a high tone of ear.

Zulaikha squeezed the tip of her hijab with a rumbling chest, she then nodded her head confidently to answer the husband's question.

Defin let out a rough sigh, he then approached towards Zulaikha who was still bowing his head.

"If you really want a divorce, then it's up. I don't care!" Defin stepped his foot out of the house, the thought of being dizzy with company problems must be coupled with the problem of the second wife made him feel very upset.

After Defin, Zulaikha is still in his place. Tears came back and fell to the floor. He closed his eyes withstanding the pain and the tightness of the hang came simultaneously.

Bruk, Syifa hugged the brother's body to give strength, apparently he was peering at Zulaikha and Defin who were talking about their household.

Zulaikha tried to hold back her cries as Syifa's embrace tightened, she was unwilling to see her sister return sad.

"patient Ma'am, hiks," Syifa said with tears that she was also holding.

It is unfortunate the fate of a woman who was wasted by her husband, even her husband never once did the relationship that should occur between husband and wife.

However, Zulaikha remained faithfully waiting. He thought that the husband could not fully accept his presence, and hoped that someday he would get the happiness he had always been waiting for.

But it turns out that Destiny says otherwise, her household must end when she has not yet felt how to be a real wife.

"Mom! Ma'am!" Syifa shook her brother's body as she remained silent, while Zulaikha who had just regained consciousness immediately.

"why Dik?" askanya while removing the tears that still imprint on the face.

"keeping and loving you?" zulaikha asked as she raised her eyebrows, and was answered with a nod of Syifa's head.

"don't want to!" reject Zulaikha while running away from Syifa who immediately manyun heard his words.

Then the two of them returned to the store to join Sita, who was currently collapsed on the chair.

After tidying up and closing the shop, Zulaikha stood at the door with a flogging mind. She recalled her husband's words earlier this afternoon, and it was no longer possible for her to return to the man's house.

"Where are you going?" ask Syifa who just finished washing her hands.

Zulaikha turned around and saw Syifa standing right behind him, she then commented a smile as she walked back inside the house.

"we have ordered Mbak's favorite food," exclaimed Sita who just showed the trunk of her nose. The three of them walked towards the kitchen to enjoy dinner.

"Oh my God, this is so much!" zulaikha said while looking at the table that was full of his favorite food.

"Not much Ma'am, it's fitting for the three of us." Syifa took her favorite fried chicken and put it straight into her mouth.

"Huk, uhuk, uhuk." Syifa coughed and choked on the fried chicken, while Zulaikha gave her a glass of water.

"eat it, if you want to eat it do'a first!" zulaikha sneered while shaking her head.

Syifa only snorted bitterly at what her sister said, even though everything the woman said was the truth.

Then they enjoyed the food and drink that had been served at the table, while occasionally chatting about unimportant matters.

At the same time, a man looks like he just got home from work. He parked the car and went inside the house.

Defin opened the door while removing the shoes that had been attached to his feet, he then saw his house that looked dark and gripping.

Defin immediately took the phone to look for a light switch so that his house was no longer creepy.

Defin's hand pressed the button on the wall, and immediately all the rooms became bright.

"where is Zulaikha? usually, does he always wait for me?" murmured Defin who did not see the existence of Zulaikha.

Defin then moved towards the room with carrying a briefcase that was usually carried by Zualikha, maybe his wife was asleep, he thought.

"where is he?" defin said when he did not find Zulaikha in the room.

However, immediately Defin pegged at his place when he recalled what he had told Zulaikha. His wife must still be in his late second home.

"shit!"
