Zulaikha's Last Love
Chapters. 22. Night Club
"heh, one of the buyers? is it appropriate for a wife to sit alone with her buyer like that?"
Zulaikha gasped in shock when she heard Defin's words, her forehead creasing deeply because she did not understand the meaning of her husband's words.
"what do you mean, Mom? where do I not deserve to sit with him?" asked Zulaikha softly.
"where did you say?" defin yelled and Zulaikha jumped in shock, the man stepped up to get closer to his wife.
"you, as a wife should keep your limits! have you never learned how to keep your husband's pride?" say Defin with great emphasis.
It hurts, that is what Zulaikha is currently feeling. Tears returned to her eyes when she heard various words thrown by her husband.
His tongue felt stiff to say, even his lips were unable to move. Only his heart was pounding hard with tears that were also flowing profusely.
Defin who saw Zulaikha's tears become silent, he seemed to regret what he had done to his wife.
"Zu-Zulaikha, i-"
Zulaikha raised his hand to stop what Defin wanted to say, for the first time Zulaikha raised his hand to the husband.
"I'm sorry because as a wife I don't know where my boundaries are to be close to a man, I'm sorry I never learned to respect my husband. I'm sorry for all the mistakes I've made." Zulaikha took a deep breath before continuing his words.
"I'm sorry because I've always been quiet when my husband doesn't touch me, I'm sorry for always being quiet when my husband never gives me any attention. I'm sorry that I kept quiet when I found out that my husband had married another woman before he married me. I'm sorry I kept quiet when I found out that my husband had to marry me all along. I'm sorry I've always been quiet when I was treated unfairly by my husband."
Zulaikha stared at Defin sharply, tears no longer flowing down his face from the pain that was so deep that it could no longer be expressed in words.
Defin pegged at his place when he heard all Zulaikha's words, he could not reply to everything that his wife said.
"So, now I won't be silent anymore. I will say everything in my heart. Mas Defin, I, Zulaikha Al-Maira, as your legal wife, have never allowed you to marry another woman! And I will never accept another woman claiming to be your first wife. So, right now, I'm telling you that I decided to sue our divorce to a religious court."
Zulaikha turned around, and set his feet towards the stairs without looking back. She no longer cared about the man who was her husband.
Defin just pegged in place, he was completely unable to chim in on all the words uttered by Zulaikha. His chest was pounding hard with a body of cold sweat upon hearing the word for word coming out of the woman's mouth.
"satisfied! already, satisfy! now you better go!" drive Syifa away after Zulaikha left the place, while Sita walked towards the door and stood right in the doorway, extending her hand to let Defin go.
Defin walked out of the house, his body felt limp as if he had lost his soul. His mind seemed empty because he was very surprised by all Zulaikha's words.
"remember, Defin! if someday you regret it, then you'll never be able to go back to my mother!" syifa said, making Defin stop his footsteps, he looked towards Syifa who turned her face to the side.
Then without saying anything, Defin got out of the house to where his car was. The phone that he had been ringing since he ignored, he continued to look straight ahead without paying attention to the others.
Defin drove his car fast, various vehicles pressed their horns when Defin's car drove in no direction.
Defin stopped his car right in front of a nightclub, turned off the engine and went inside the club that night.
Defin vented all the emotions he was currently feeling by drinking all the liquor in front of him. Several women approached and tried to tease Defin, but the man did not care about it, he continued to chug the drink until several bottles had run aground.
Agnes, who was in the Club at the time, did not know that Defin was there. Suddenly a man whispering something in his ear made Agnes immediately turn around and look for Defin's whereabouts.
"honey! what happened to you?" agnes who saw Defin had already dropped his head on the table.
"Zulaikha, is that you?" lirih Defin who thinks that the woman in front of him is Zulaikha.
"what did you say?" Agnes felt very emotional, maybe when drunk like this the man even called the name Zulaikha.
Suddenly a man approached them, he hugged Agnes body from behind making Agnes jump in shock.
"Rio, what are you doing?" agnes whispered as she let go of Rio's hand that coiled around her stomach, she was afraid that someone else would see.
"what happened to your husband?" rio asked as he pointed towards Defin who was already unconscious.
"i don't know either! now help me to lift it!" Agnes's orders.
The two of them took Defin and put him in the car, and they came in to take the man to his house.
"wait, why did you bring Defin to his house?" asked Agnes in surprise, she glanced towards Rio who was also looking at her.
"then why? isn't his wife gone?" said the man.
"yes, but if her parents know, how?" agnes asked back, she was afraid that Defin would be angry with what they were doing.
"you take it easy!" Rio increasingly increase the speed of the car to quickly get to the destination.
Not long after, the car they drive has reached the courtyard of the luxury home Defin. They then took the man down and brought him inside.
"it's also a big house" Rio chanted as he looked around the house.
"great, he's rich!" exclaim Agnes while putting Defin on the bed.
Rio then walked towards a picture frame attached right on the bed, he noticed a woman wearing wedding clothes was holding hands with Defin.
"beautiful is also the name Zulaikha," he said as he continued to look at Zulaikha's charming face in his eyes.
"cheek," Agnes snorted bitterly because she did not like to hear Rio's words.
Suddenly, there was a muttering sound from Defin that instantly distracted them.
"Zulaikha, are you here?"
