Zulaikha's Last Love

Chapters. 31. Divorce

Everyone has gathered in the Zulaikha divorce court and also Defin, the Judge and his staff have also sat in their respective places.

Zulaikha continued to say Istighfar in his heart in order to be given peace of mind until the divorce trial was over, while Defin kept glancing at Zulaikha who was currently sitting beside him.

The moderator of the trial began to open a trial session, explaining the divorce between Zulaikha and Defin.

Throughout the event, there was no sound in the room.Defin's parents could only bow while eye-to-eye with the Zulaikha family, the two, while the Zulaikha family itself was relieved because soon Zulaikha would be free from her husband.

All sessions have been passed, because the absence of demands from Zulaikha about the property of gono-gini makes the divorce process easier.

However, at the time the Judge will knock on Zulaikha and Defin's divorce hammer. Suddenly, Defin stood up and stopped the Judge's speech making everyone look at him in bewilderment.

"i don't want a divorce from Zulaikha!"

Deg, everyone's heart was pounding very hard upon hearing the man's words. While Ridwan immediately walked up to Defin and grabbed the collar of his shirt making the atmosphere become boisterous and tense.

"basic bastard! whatchu mean? huh!" ridwan shouted with already explosive emotions, while the others tried to release the man's grip on Defin's neck.

"i really don't want a divorce from her Brother-"

Ma'am, one fist landed right on Defin's face making the Judge and all his ranks rise from their seats.

"it is expected for everyone to return to their seats, respectively,"

"basic brash! the jerk man," cried Ridwan, his booming voice in the room making everyone tense.

Zulaikha and all his family tried to incline Ridwan, while Defin's parents could only cry to see what was going on in front of them.

"if you all can't calm down, then this trial will be postponed,"

"no! we want this trial to continue" Syifa said, drawing closer to the judge and calling for the trial to continue.

"if Uncle and Aunt still have a little bit of sympathy for my sister, then I beg you, please give her freedom" Aisyah pinta cupped her hands in front of Defin's parents, he begged them to tell Defin to follow this divorce trial properly.

Amidst the chaos, suddenly a woman who had been sitting in the corner of the room stood up and approached the crowd.

"Defin, if you don't agree with this divorce. Then I'll abort the baby I'm carrying," whispered Agnes right in Defin's ear to make the man startle and look at him sharply

"what do you mean?" defin asked, all eyes looking at him when he heard the man's voice.

"i'm pregnant with your child, and I want you to give the woman away" Agnes said loudly, her hand pointing right at Zulaikha making everyone tense again.

"you don't mess around"

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious about what I'm saying!" Agnes gave Defin a piece of paper that was noisy about her pregnancy.

Defin read each paper report seriously, his hand shook at the examination results stating that Agnes was pregnant, and her gestational age had entered the third week.

"Dear Judge Father, I ask that this trial proceed again" Zulaikha said, suddenly, his chest burning when he heard Agnes' confession about her pregnancy.

After that, the moderator again took charge of the trial process and the Judge's decision had fallen. Zulaikha and Defin are officially divorced.

Syifa and Sita hugged Zulaikha tightly while holding back the tightness they were feeling, while Zulaikha only stared straight ahead as the Judge had already decided on her marriage to Defin.

"patient Dek, Ma'am believes you can get through all this" said Aisyah, she also hugged Zulaikha's body tightly to give support to her sister.

"thank you Yusuf, you owe a lot of money to you" Ridwan said, patting Joseph on the shoulder with a million-watt smile.

"it has become my work Bang, and I am glad to be able to help Zulaikha," replied Yusuf, looking at Zulaikha who was still in his place.

"Zulaicha!" call Joseph, but Zulaicha remains silent in his daydream.

Ridwan who saw his sister like that immediately nudged his arm, making Zulaikha excited while looking at everyone.

"i-yes what's wrong?" asked Zulaikha stammeringly, it seemed obvious that he was currently very not okay.

"Zulaikha, I don't deserve to give you advice. Because you're the only one who knows how much pain you're currently feeling. But I just want to remind you that God will always help his servant who is patient and sincere in undergoing all the trials that He gives," said Joseph, he looked at Zulaikha in making Zulaikha touched by his words.

"thank you, thank you for all the help and advice you gave me. I can't repay everything, I can only pray that Allah will repay all of Mas's kindness by multiplying,"

"Amiin" said everyone who heard the word Zulaikha for the good man.

"aamiin, inshaallah," replied Joseph later.

"o Allah, may you match me with Mas Yusuf," Sita could not blink her eyes when she saw Joseph, her heart quivering at all the wise words that came out of the man's mouth.

After everything was done, they left the room to go home to each other. However, at the time of going up to the car. Suddenly the sound of someone calling Zulaikha made them turn towards the source of the voice.

"you?" ridwan exclaimed when he saw Defin, he regained his emotions when he saw his sister's ex-husband.

"Mas," hold Aisyah, she held onto Ridwan's arm which would again clash with Defin.

"Zulaikha, I want to talk to you," said Defin, staring at Zulaikha who was currently staring at him.

"want what else you?" ridwan snapped, he really did not like to hear the man's words.

"alright, let's go there!" point Zulaikha at a seat not far from where they are currently, while all his family were shocked when they heard Zulaikha's words.

"Dec, why-"

"not Papa Mas, I also want to say something to Mas Defin," Zulaikha cut off, he then stepped away to the place he pointed at earlier.

Defin followed Zulaikha's footsteps with a gontai, he continued to stare at Zulaikha's back with a searing pain in his heart. His eyes were hot as tears welled up the river.

"Mas, can I talk to you about something?" asked Zulaikha after they sat next to each other in a chair, Zulaikha gave them some distance to sit down.

Defin nodded his head to let Zulaikha speak as he pleased.

"did you know Mas, that all this time I loved you so much?"
