Zulaikha's Last Love

Chapters. 3. Divorce ?

Zulaikha rushed to call Defin after Syifa gave her phone, she pressed the number 2 which was directly connected to the husband's mobile number.

Tut, tut, tut... Several times Zulaikha called Defin but not also lifted, now he felt very anxious. Zulaikha got up and came out of the room, he wanted to go straight to the husband to ask him about something that had just shaken his soul.

But just stepping out of the room, Zulaikha's eyes looked at the photo of his parents hanging on the wall.

"Dad, mom. I miss you so much, "tears came back on Zulaikha's face as she remembered her parents.

"Zulaikha, I've left you to your husband. Be a good wife and sholehah, a wife who can please also calm your husband. Be a light when darkness covers your household, and be forgiving when trouble hits your household,"

Zulaikha recalled the last words of his father before he died, so much hope that his father gave for the happiness of his household.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I can't be a good wife to my husband, I can't provide for him. I couldn't hold back my anger as a storm of trouble approached me, I'm sorry Dad" Zulaikha muttered as he took a deep breath and exhaled.

She did that several times to calm herself down, Zulaikha tried to think positively of her husband.

After feeling a little calm, Zulaikha went back down to the first floor and walked straight to the shop which was still one building with the house. He saw his sister and employees were serving some customers who were buying flowers on them.

"loh, Ma'am!" syifa, who was surprised to see her brother, was standing behind her. Zulaikha only published a smile on her lips while gently patting her sister's shoulder, she walked quickly to serve customers who had just entered her shop.

"good morning sir, how can I help you?" asked Zulaikha kindly, a young man was seen watching the neatly arranged row of flowers before him.

"good morning too, Mom, I want a bouquet of flowers for the birthday party" said the young man.

"Gentleman wants what kind of flowers? we have many beautiful flowers for Master." Zulaikha shows some flowers that do look very beautiful.

The young man watched the flowers shown by Zulaikha in a daze, only this time did he buy the flowers directly.

"can I choose flowers for you?" haggard Zulaikha, he knew that the young man was confused at the moment.

The young man immediately nodded his head making Zulaikha smile widely, quickly Zulaikha picked up some fresh flowers that were perfect for a party gift.

"how Master? do you like it?" asked Zulaikha kindly while showing the results of the bouquet that he had finished making.

"very beautiful, just as she made it," the young man replied, Zulaikha only smiled and thanked him for the praise given to her.

Not feeling the time goes very fast, Zulaikha had to go to the house of one of his customers to deliver orders while attending customer events.

On the way, Zulaikha accidentally sees Defin and his secretary walking into a restaurant. She stopped her car and parked it to meet her husband.

Zulaikha walked quickly to catch Defin who had entered one of the private rooms, then she met with Defin's personal secretary who was standing in front of the room occupied by her husband.

"loh, is mom here too?" asked Irham who was a little surprised when he saw the wife of the boss.

"it was not on purpose that you and Mas Defin came in here, so yes I followed," replied Zulaikha with a smile on his face.

"Pak Defin is with a client in the book" Irham told Zulaikha that her husband cannot be disturbed.

"i don't call you mother anyway, I'm not your mother," exclaimed Zulaikha making Irham chuckle because of his words.

"call me Ma'am," he ordered later, he did not want to be called mother by the husband's secretary.

"all right, ma'am, is it a tit?" asked Irham while blinking one eye, they both laughed because they felt funny about what the man said.

"do you want to wait for Mr Defin?" ask Irham back.

"That's it, Ma'am." Irham nodded his head.

"or if you don't, ma'am deliver the first order Mbak, it's just come here again," suggested Irham, because Defin meeting today will take a long time.

Zulaikha confirmed Irham's words, then he rushed to go deliver the order so that later he could return to the place.

***

After she finished, Zulaikha returned to the restaurant where her husband was. She drove her car so her husband wouldn't run away from the restaurant.

Bruk, because of his hunting rank, Zulaikha accidentally hit a young man who immediately made his body bounce back. But the young man swiftly wrapped his hands around Zulaikha's waist before the woman fell to the ground.

For a split second their eyes clashed, Zulaikha's body stiffened perfectly in the young man's embrace.

"Ekhem." suddenly there was the voice of someone deheman who made Zulaikha immediately pull his body back from the young man.

Irham who was waiting for Zulaikha in front of the restaurant rounded her eyes when she saw the woman almost fall if not immediately captured by a man, he immediately approached Zulaikha who was still in the arms of the man.

"well, we meet again Ma'am," said the young man, it turns out he is the person served by Zulaikha earlier.

"yes sir, thank you for your help" said Zulaikha.

"Sama-sama Ma'am. Oh yes, introduce my name Ammar." the young man thrust his hand which was immediately greeted by Zulaikha.

"i am Zulaikha, you can call me Ikha" Zulaikha replied, releasing their hands.

Then they had a little chat until finally Irham invited Zulaikha to enter the restaurant because indeed the client who was with Defin had left.

"i'm going to the car for a while Ma'am, Ma'am just go in" said Irham, he wanted to take something in his car. Zulaikha nodded her head as she set foot into the room where her husband was.

"Mas, can I come in?" zulaikha asked from behind the door. But there was no reply from the husband to make Zulaikha open the door slowly.

"Well, where's the guy?" Zulaikha looked at the entire room that looked empty, then Zulaikha's eyes were centered on Defin who was calling in the balcony.

Zulaikha slowly drew closer to Defin, he pinched his foot so as not to disturb the husband who was talking to someone.

But Zulaikha suddenly stopped her footsteps when she heard what her husband said.

"i can't possibly divorce Zulaikha, she just grieved over her father's death,"

Deg, Zulaikha was at his place hearing what Defin said.

"ce-divorce?"
