Zulaikha's Last Love

Chapters. 27. Surprise Defin

After meeting with the lawyer, Zulaikha and Ridwan returned to Ridwan's house because Zulaikha's car was still there.

Along the way, there was no sound in the car. All dissolved in each other's minds about the problem that was happening at this time, until their car arrived on the front page of Ridwan's house.

"Mas, I'll just go home. Poor Sita herself," said Zulaikha who was immediately responded with a nod of Ridwan's head.

He rushes out of the car and gets into his own car, then leaves the house.

After a while, Zulaikha finally arrived at his parents' house. He rushed out and directly walked towards the crowded-looking shop.

"Sir Zulaikha," exclaimed a girl in a white-gray uniform, she ran towards Zulaikha who was about to enter the shop.

"Roses? you're not in school?" zulaikha asked when she saw the girl in front of her shop.

"it's going to Ma'am's school, but Buk Rima called to take his order at Ma'am's store" explained Mawar, he was walking next to Zulaikha who was going into the store.

"just take it first" said Zulaikha, taking an order of flowers he had prepared for his customers. Then Zulaikha gave the flower to the Rose.

Sita who just saw the existence of Zulaikha directly approached her, she attached her body to Zulaikha's body.

"Bak, I'm tired!" lamented Sita, since the morning their customers are very crowded today.

"I'm sorry Dek, you must be troubled" said Zulaikha guiltily.

"not to bother Mbak, but yes quite tired," argued Sita while displaying a row of white teeth.

Then they returned to serve customers who still filled the store, Zulaikha and Sita moved here and there to prepare orders for the buyers.

Not felt, time passed very quickly. It's time for workers to rest their bodies for a moment while enjoying the lunch menu today.

"Mbak, we have lunch first," cried Sita, she had completed the order from the buyer.

Zulaikha nodded his head to answer Sita's invitation, and hung a letter on the door to tell customers they were resting.

"where's Ma'am's stuff?" sita asked, she looked to her right and left but found no Zulaikha items.

"what's Deck?" zulaikha asked confusedly, she did not understand what the girl was saying.

"mbak's stuff is in Mas Defin's house!" sita replied while preparing their lunch.

Zulaikha gasped when he heard Sita's words, he just remembered that this morning he wanted to take his things at Defin's house.

"Bak didn't go there Dek, but went somewhere else" Zulaikha replied, he had to lie to Sita about the incident at her husband's house.

"thank God Ma'am, I was very worried," exclaimed Sita, she felt relieved because the brother did not come to visit Defin's house.

While Zulaikha turned her face to the side, she was forced to lie to Sita because she could not tell the perfect scene she saw at her husband's house.

Suddenly, the ringing of Zulaikha's cell phone shocked those who were enjoying lunch. Zulaikha immediately picked up the flat object from inside his bag of straps.

Zulaikha's forehead creased as he saw the name of the person who called him, Zulaikha quickly picked up the call from Joseph.

"assalamu'alaikum, Zulaikha" Yusuf said on the phone.

"wa'alaikum hail Mas" replied Zulaikha with a faint smile that rose at the corner of his lips.

"what is it?" zulaikha asked confusedly.

"it was 2 hours ago" replied Zulaikha.

"yes, I just want to tell you that in the next few days we have to come to court" Yusuf said, he had filed a lawsuit against Zulaikha in the religious court.

"well, Mas" replied Zulaikha, he was ready if he had to meet with the big men in the religious court.

"alright, I just wanted to tell you about it. Emm and do not forget to eat, so you stay healthy until this process is complete" said Yusuf later.

"well, I will always take care of my health" replied Zulaikha.

Then the call was interrupted after Yusuf said his greetings and was answered by Zulaikha, he put the phone back down and sat down beside Sita.

"who's the call from?" ask Sita with a mouth full of food.

"eat it can't talk Sita, spend it!" zulaikha exclaimed without answering Sita's question, while Sita was just a whimper and quickly finished her food.

After they finished eating, they went to the room to fulfill the obligations of a Muslim. Zulaicha poured out all his grievances before God for the problems he was facing right now.

"O Allah, I leave everything to You. My life, my death, my sustenance and my soul mate. I leave all my destiny to You. Simplify the process of the divorce of this servant, and expand the heart of the servant to receive and recieve all the acts of destiny that You have laid down. Verily, Thou art the All-Knowing, the All-Knowing." Zulaikha rubbed his hands against his face, with tears still dripping from his eyes.

Zulaikha rose up, and folded the prayer and the face he had been wearing. Zulaikha then returned to wearing a hijab and passed out to re-open the flower shop.

Elsewhere, a man is seen being careless in his great chair. He was dizzy thinking about his household matter with Zulaikha who was already on the edge of the horn.

"why did I become like this? it's not that I've wanted to divorce Zulaikha, but why am I not willing now?" muttered Defin who was confused by his own feelings.

At this time he was always thinking about Zulaikha, sometimes he would hallucinate seeing his wife's whereabouts even though Zulaikha never appeared before him again.

She was also always emotional when she was with Agnes, sometimes her heart desperately yearned for the meek behavior that Zulaikha had always done to her.

"Damn! what's the matter with me?" Defin ruffled his hair feeling frustrated looking at himself.

Drt, drt, drt. Suddenly, the vibration of the phone in his suit stopped the man's turmoil, Defin immediately picked it up and picked up the phone from one of his friends.

"hello" Defin told the caller.

"Defin, are you going to divorce Zulaikha?" asked Rangga suddenly made Defin frown, he felt astonished because Rangga could say that while he never mentioned divorce to others.

"what do you mean?" asked Defin, he chose to ask his friend directly.

"today, Zulaikha dropped her divorce lawsuit to a religious court,"

"what?"
