Zulaikha's Last Love

Chapters. 30. Session

Defin immediately got off the bed and quickly stepped his feet towards where Zulaikha was, he immediately pulled the woman's hand and carried her in his arms.

Zulaikha who felt surprised by what Defin did immediately pushed the man's body until his embrace was released, he then looked at Defin with teary eyes.

"what are you doing, Zulaikha?" defin asked with great emphasis, his eyes glaring sharply at Zulaikha and Joseph in turn.

"what do you mean, Mom?" asked Zulaikha not understanding, she rubbed her own shoulder that had been hugged by Defin.

"why don't you hold hands with him?" definitive pointed directly at Joseph making the man raise his eyebrows, while Zulaikha felt clueless about what Defin was saying.

"holds? ap-handle"

"why? you want to dodge?" cut Defin, somehow his emotions are so explosive right now. Let alone looking at Joseph who was just silent watching them, as if what Defin had in mind was true.

"alright, whatever you say Mas," Zulaikha chose to budge, she did not want to make a fuss in that place.

"heh, I know now. You want a divorce with me because you're close to a lot of men, right? you're even close to my secretary, too,"

Zulaikha who had turned around and was about to go undo his intentions, his head turned towards Defin sharply because of the words that the man had uttered.

"i'm silent doesn't mean everything you say is the truth, Mom!" Zulaikha.

"why? aren't you enough with one man, until you get close to another man and lower your self-esteem"

Ma'am, Yusuf who had been silent since heard all the ravings of Defin sent his punch right into the man's face until he fell backward. While Zulaikha who saw that felt very shocked, he did not expect that Joseph would hit Defin until the man fell on the ground.

Irham who was also still in that place clenched his hands, he also felt furious with what Defin said. However, it turns out that Joseph moved quickly and silenced Defin's mouth with his fist.

"if you cannot give happiness, then never hurt a wife who has sincerely served you all this time. How damned is a husband who degrades the dignity and dignity of his own wife, both in front of himself and in front of others" said Yusuf, his hand was still tightly clenched until the veins around his hand protruded to the surface.

"Suck!" Defin rose again and looking at them sharply, he wanted to avenge Joseph's blow but Zulaicha blocked him and stood right in front of Joseph.

"please stop, Mom! I don't want any more commotion" said Zulaikha, he turned around and left all of them silent while looking into his tussle.

"i swear I'll get you out of your husband, Zulaikha. I will make him the most sorry man on this earth" Joseph also went from that place without saying anything to Defin, he would exert all his strength to immediately settle their divorce.

While Irham looked at Zulaikha sadly, she did not dare to defend the woman for fear of being fired by Defin.

As far as Zulaikha left, Defin just stayed where he was with a whipping mind. Then he turned around and got back into his car followed by Irham.

"fuckin!" swear Defin while rubbing his face violently, the anger that has been lodged in his heart has become worse now.

"actually what happened to me? do I love Zulaikha?" Defin began to wonder what he was feeling at the moment.

Elsewhere, Zulaikha was sobbing in her car. He stopped right by the side of the road near the mosque, he slumped his head into a car to spill all the pain he was suffering.

"Oh my God, strengthen my heart. Tighten my steps, strengthen my faith. And give me the patience in my heart to live out all the destinies that You have laid down," a silent sob still sounded from Zulaikha until he was not aware he was asleep in such a position.

The sound of Adzan who roared made Zulaikha blink his eyes, he raised his head and rubbed his neck that felt sore due to leaning against his head that was leaning against the car.

"O Allah, it's Ashar." Zulaikha hurried to go out and pray in the mosque not far from his current place.

When she finished, Zulaikha decided to return home. His two sisters must have been worried because he did not come home.

"assalamu'alaikum" said Zulaikha as soon as he entered the store.

Zulaikha only nodded his head to answer his sister's words.

"oh yes Ma'am, Mas Ridwan was here. He said that two more days of Mbak's divorce trial will be held," Syifa said, he gave an invitation from the religious court.

"and said Mas Ridwan, Mbak's divorce immediately entered the final stage. So there is no need for mediation and so on," Syifa added, she informed him of all the messages from Ridwan.

Zulaikha frowned confusedly, "cock can that deck?"

"all have been taken care of by Mbak's lawyer, anyway two days we will come to court," explained Syifa, he felt very happy with what was conveyed by Ridwan.

Although Zulaikha was still confused, he just nodded his head without any more enrichment to Syifa. He went into the house and went up to his room on the second floor.

Zulaikha laid himself on the bed, his eyes busy staring at the ceiling of the room with a mind that floated.

"i am sincere, O Allah, I am sincere if your destiny tells me to take away my husband" tears came back from the corner of Zulaikha's eyes.

Not felt, two days had passed. Zulaikha, and his two younger siblings set out for the religious court along with Ridwan and his wife. While Joseph was waiting for their arrival in the religious court.

"strengthen your heart Zulaikha, all this has become God's decree" said Ridwan, he glanced at Zulaikha who was leaning back in the back seat.

"inshaAllah Mas, I have given everything," replied Zulaikha with a smile, he has given everything to the creator.

Not long after, their car has arrived at the court parking. They went out from directly inside to meet Joseph.

"assalamu'alaikum" said Ridwan to Yusuf who was sitting in the waiting chair.

"wa'alaikum hail," Yusuf replied as he woke up his body.

"how, Zulaikha? have you prepared?" joseph asked with a sweet smile on his face.

"insyAllah Mas" replied Zulaikha.

Then they all went inside the room where the divorce trial was going to take place.

Defin and his parents were already in the room, they saw the arrival of Zulaikha and his family sadly. Especially Defin parents who really feel sorry and guilty for what they have done.

Defin himself continued to look towards Zulaikha, his eyes feeling hot when he saw the woman not glancing at him at all. He was upset and angry because he failed to stop their divorce, he also felt astonished because there was a powerful person behind Zulaikha who made their divorce process take place so quickly.

The judges and all members entered the courtroom, and all the guests present were in their seats. Zulaikha and Defin were sitting next to each other in front of the judge.

"bismil was bornrahmanirrahim," Zulaikha closed his eyes for a moment to strengthen the heart of hearing the verdict from the judge for their separation.
