"what's Mas Defin doing here?"
suddenly the atmosphere became quiet, they were both fixated on their respective places with various kinds of thoughts, especially Ammar who felt very confused about what was going on.
Zulaikha pulled Syifa's hand when her sister started to get emotional, she told Syifa to go first and she would follow after talking to Defin.
Syifa clucked in annoyance at what her Brother wanted, but she did not dare to go under the orders of the Brother and passed into the house.
"does there anything I want to say?" zulaikha asked, she glanced at Ammar who was replied with a glance of the man.
"sorry Mr. Ammar, I want to talk to Zulaikha" Defin said as if to expel the man from there.
Ammar, who understood the man's intentions, turned around, and stepped inside the house without saying anything.
However, his steps stopped when he saw two girls peeking at Zulaikha from the window. He then approached Syifa and Sita without them both noticing, he took a peek at what they were peeping at.
Meanwhile, Zulaikha and Defin were still both speechless with their eyes staring at each other. Zulaikha felt there was something Defin wanted to say that was why he chose to speak up.
"what's up"
"what is he doing here, Zulaikha?" cut Defin, Zulaikha who had spoken up suddenly gasped with a deep frown.
"wasn't Mas Ammar saying that he came here to buy flowers. But-"
"do you think it all makes sense!" defin's snapping made Zulaikha jump in shock, as well as the three people who were peeping at them at this moment.
Sejah Bu who had been waiting for a long meal table chose to catch up with them all, he was glued to the front door of the kitchen when he saw what his son was doing with the Zulaikha sisters.
"Ammar, what are you doing?" exclaim Bu Colored while stepping his feet to approach Ammar.
"ssstt, don't fuss Mom! we were peeking" replied Syifa, who was asked and who answered the question.
"astaghfirullah, why are you peeping at that kayak?" furious Bu was colonized, while Syifa and Sita who had just realized the existence of Ammar and his mother immediately stiffened and glanced at Zulaikha. They were afraid that his brother would know they were peeping for the umpteenth time.
"Mom, we want to keep an eye on Ms. Zulaikha. We don't want that man to hurt her!"
this time it was Ammar who jumped in shock, he looked sharply at Syifa to ask for an explanation for what the girl said.
"for what to keep an eye on your husband and wife, son, that's not good!" banga Bu Sejah, he did not think about what they were doing.
"they're not married anymore Mom, Miss Zulaikha and Mas Defin are divorced!"
Jedar, it felt like he was struck by lightning in the middle of a hole when he heard what Syifa said. Ammar's chest thumped with trembling hands when he learned that the woman he liked had separated from her husband.
"be-be-divorced?" ammar asked nervously, cold sweat was already drenching his palm at this moment.
Likewise with Ms. Dijah who did not expect that the Zulaikha household ended in a divorce.
Syifa nodded her head to answer Ammar's question. "already a week ago."
"what do you mean, Mom? I don't understand!" zulaikha asked, she felt that she was always wrong in the eyes of the man even when they were divorced.
"you sat with him by the side of the road, because he accidentally met him there. Then you're alone with her in this house, with a reason to buy flowers. Do you think all of that was really due to accident? or because you two have a relationship?"
Zulaikha really did not expect that Defin could say such a thing to her, his eyes could not even blink and looked sharply at Defin.
"huh, that's amazing for you guys. I really salute you, Zulaikha, "Defin vented all his emotions and heartache on that woman, without her realizing that at this time he was not worthy to treat Zulaikha that way.
Zulaikha shed tears upon hearing Defin's words, her heart completely shattered unceremoniously made by her own ex-husband.
"then why? what if I have a relationship with him?" zulaikha said, her lips trembling withstanding all the turmoil in her heart.
"it turns out you admitted it yes, you've been all this time"
"why? what's the matter with you again, Mom? remember, we're divorced!"
for the first time, Zulaikha said with a sharp word to Defin, he also brought up the relationship of those who were no longer husband and wife
Defin pegged in his place, he could not reply to the words thrown by Zulaikha. While Zulaikha herself instantly wiped away her tears, she took a deep breath before saying something more to the man.
"from now on, please don't interfere anymore with my business, Mas! especially regarding my relationship with another man, since you have no right to interfere about any of that. And remember one more thing, live as you used to. Be happy with the woman you love so much, for I will also be happy with my future!"
Zulaikha immediately turned around and left Defin without waiting for a reply from the man, while Defin simply stared with a thunderous chest upon hearing all the words spoken from Zulaikha's mouth.
Ammar who is still loyal to be a peepsmith was saddened by what happened to the woman, he was able to guess the subject that caused the separation between Zulaikha and her husband.
While Syifa and Sita ran to the kitchen to see Zulaikha enter the house, there were Bu Dijah and Ammar who were still standing in their current place.
Zulaikha who had entered the house closed the door slowly, he then leaned his body against the door by wiping a few drops of tears that managed to escape from his eye fertilizers.
"O Allah, You are the All-Powerful, the All-Mighty. Calm the heart of this servant, and give strength so that the servant is always strong in the face of everything," Zulaikha closed his eyes for a moment to spill all his pain on the Creator.
Bu Dijah who felt unbearable to see the state of Zulaikha immediately approached and pulled the woman into his arms, making Zulaikha immediately opened his eyes and was surprised by what the middle-aged woman was doing.
"it's okay, son, you're not alone. There's Mom and everyone who loves you," said Bu Colored, she hugged Zulaikha's body tightly making Zulaikha's eyes teary again.
