Zulaikha's Last Love

Chapters. 17. Fall asleep

"shit!" Defin was upset when he remembered his household problems, then he went to the bathroom to clean himself up.

After 20 minutes passed, Defin finally came out with a fresh look. He restored his wet hair and threw the original towel on the bed.

Kruyuk, suddenly a sacred voice coming from the stomach was heard, Defin rubbed his hungry stomach while coming out of the room towards the kitchen.

Defin looked towards the dining table that looked empty, then he opened the closet and the result was also no food at all.

"is he not cooking?" murmuring Defin while walking towards the refrigerator.

Empty, there's nothing in the fridge. Even the fruits that had always been on the table were now lost to nowhere.

Defin immediately picked up the phone to order food from the green app, but his eyes were fixed on one message sent by Zulaikha.

"Mas, I didn't go home. For now, maybe I'll stay at Daddy's. Tomorrow I'll come to pick up my things,"

Defin read Zulaikha's message seriously, he held tightly to his phone while feeling a little emotional.

"so she really wants a divorce with me?" he said after he finished reading the message his wife had sent.

Somehow Defin's feelings became unsettled when Zulaikha wanted to divorce him, but all this time he also never paid attention to the woman.

Suddenly, his phone rang again. Defin excitedly raised the call without seeing who called him.

"what's the matter, Zulaikha?" tanyanya pretended to be ignorant as usual.

"Zulaicha? Zulaikha did you say?" agnes who was annoyed by what Defin said, Defin himself was also surprised and did not expect that the current one who called was his first wife.

"Define! what do you mean you mentioned Zulaikha's name, huh?" the woman shouted to make Defin keep the flat object away from her ear.

"Agnes! can't you speak softly and not scream like that!" the ketusnya who do not like to see the behavior of Agnes.

"don't switch your conversation!" agnes said across the phone, she was furious when her husband mentioned another woman's name.

"Well!" Defin sighed harshly, he would not win against his wife.

"why did you call?" Defin chose to ask the woman directly.

"honey, I want to see Citayam fashion week" said Agnes in a whining tone, she was eager to go somewhere that is currently very popular in the country.

"i'm busy Agnes, you can go alone!" reject Defin, at the moment he is not in the mood to go anywhere.

"but I want to go with you, honey," whined Agnes, she didn't want to go for a walk alone.

Tut, Defin chose to turn off the phone call when he heard Agnes' whining. Right now his mind was focused on Zulaikha not coming home.

Elsewhere, a woman was sitting in a balcony of her room alone. He glanced at the bed which showed two girls sleeping soundly.

Then Zulaikha raised his head to see the moonlight is very bright, especially coupled with the brilliance of the stars as if adding to the beauty of this night.

Zulaikha thought back to the figure of her husband, a handsome and tall man who managed to make her fall in love at first sight.

F*las**hback

Bruk, Zulaikha hit a man who was walking making the wreath he was holding fall to the ground.

"astaghfirullah, I'm sorry!" zulaikha said as she picked up the flower from the ground, then she raised her head to look at the man she had just hit.

Deg, Zulaikha's heartbeat felt very tight when he met the man.

"Ehem," Defin cleared his throat to stop Zulaikha who kept staring at his face.

"are you the owner of the flower shop?" ask Defin while pointing towards the flower shop that is not far from where they are currently.

"that flower shop belongs to my parents, sir, is there anything I can help you with?" zulaikha asked without looking towards Defin, while the man was still looking towards her.

"i want to order a bouquet of flowers for a woman, can you prepare it?" ask Defin later.

"of course, sir, if so let me drop off!" Zulaikha invited Defin to his shop, he explained all kinds of very beautiful flowers in his shop.

End flashback.

Zulaikha smiled as she recalled the beginning of her encounter with Defin, and from that meeting Zulaikha always thought of the figure of the man.

"until now, I didn't expect that I would be your wife. And I did not expect that soon we would part, "said Zulaikha with tears returning.

"forgive me, who doesn't know that you've been forced to marry me all this time. You must have suffered a lot while going through the housewife with me, while you loved another woman," Zulaikha paused her words to breathe in the air deeply.

"now that I set you free, Mas, live happily with her, the woman you love" said Zulaikha, closing her eyes.

He only hoped that fate would still be kind to him, which is to give sincerity and strength to forget all the things that have happened in his life.

Zulaikha who was sleeping felt that there was someone shaking his body, he also heard his name constantly being called so as to make his eyes open slowly.

"Mom! Zulaikha Al - Maira!" Sita shook Zulaikha's body which is currently still asleep.

Slowly but surely Zulaikha's eyes opened, and he was surprised to see Sita above his body.

"astaghfirullah, you here, just startle!" Zulaikha woke up his body while holding his chest that was pounding hard.

"kok I the hell Mommy? That's what surprised me!" said Sita, he who woke up because he felt thirsty jumped in shock when he saw a pair of legs in the window.

Sita rubbed both eyes so that the pair of legs disappeared, but it was not. That pair of legs is still in place. Sita then wakes Syifa up, but the girl is lazy to open her eyes.

Sita who was curious and also afraid to move closer to the pair of legs, and it turns out that the pair of legs belonged to Zulaikha.

"why try, Mommy sleeps here? it hurts later!" said later.

Zulaikha's eyes looked around his current place, he was surprised because it turned out that he was still on the balcony.

"O Allah, apparently I fell asleep here" exclaimed Zulaikha as he patted his eel because he was unconscious asleep in the balcony.

"how the hell, you can't be aware!" grumbled Sita while getting up and going back into the room.

However, Sita stopped her footsteps when she heard Zulaikha vomit.

"Mom!"
