Ammar, who was standing right in front of Zulaikha, could only look at Zulaikha in silence, his heart ached when he saw the free-flowing tears on her face.
"Zulaikha, you are a woman who can make me happy and sad at the same time. I'm glad to see you again, but I'm also sad to see the deep wounds of your beautiful eyes" Ammar continued to look at Zulaikha without blinking his eyes, but the pull of a hand from someone resuscitated him and immediately turned his gaze downwards.
"Papa, if I don't eat in 2 minutes. I could die" Aziz exclaimed as he pursed his lips, while Ammar smiled amusedly and held the 4-year-old.
Zulaikha who heard Aziz's voice immediately released his embrace on Bu Sejah's body, he then lowered his head because he was embarrassed by what had happened.
"Son, everything that happens in this world has been determined by God. The bad and the good, the living and the dead, the healthy and the sick. Even a fallen leaf has been determined by God, and we are the ones who are able to change the line that God has set" said Bu Gently Seized, he wiped away the tears that were still on Zulaikha's face.
"Mom sure Son, God has prepared a very special gift for you in the future. As long as you are always patient and sincere in living all their destiny, and open your heart to receive all the love from those who love you," continued Bu Dijah again.
Zulaikha smiled happily at all the advice given by the middle-aged woman, she felt touched by the kindness given by Ammar's parents.
"grandma, I'm so hungry. If we don't eat, we can be sure!" aziz is trying to stop the conversation between her grandmother and Zulaikha.
Zulaikha and Bu Sejah smiled knotingly at Aziz's irritated look, then they all stepped into the kitchen to enjoy a long overdue lunch.
Meanwhile, in another place, a man was sitting in a park chair next to his parents' house.
Defin looked towards the fish pond with his mind already floating, and the thought was certainly on his ex-wife who was currently with another man.
"actually what is the connection between you and Ammar, Zulaikha? why do you look so close? do you have a special relationship? were you close to her when you were my wife?" Defin ruffled his hair because he was annoyed with all the thoughts lodged in his head, without him realizing that at this time his parents were paying attention to what he was doing.
"Well, I feel so sad and guilty about Defin. We have ruined his life, we have also hurt his heart. Mother felt sorry for him, Well," said Miss Diana, her eyes glazed over at the messy state of the son.
"the passing cannot be changed anymore Mom, the most important thing is that we must always support her," replied Rashid's father, he rubbed his wife's shoulder to calm her down.
They then walked towards Defin who was still leaning in the chair, Rashid's father patted his shoulder making Defin terjank shocked by the head that looked towards the person who patted him.
"what are you doing, son?" asked Rashid's father, he pretended not to know the current state of his son.
"no Dad, I was just looking at a fish" Defin lied, telling his parents about Zulaikha.
"have you had lunch?" mother Diana asked, she sat her butt next to Defin and patted his hand briefly.
Defin shook his head to answer the question from the mother, then they got up and went to the kitchen to enjoy lunch.
At the same time, Ammar and his mother were preparing to leave Zulaikha's house, and they thanked him a lot because Zulaikha had welcomed them.
"tante, tomorrow Aziz comes again here! Aziz wants to pick up a aunt to play cars at uncle Yusuf's house," exclaimed Aziz who is currently in his Papa sling.
"really? tomorrow aunt wait here yes," replied Zulaikha happily, he kissed the cheek of the puffer Aziz making his hand stick in Ammar's arm.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Zulaikha drove Ammar and his family to the car while Syifa and Sita returned to their store.
"be careful, ma'am, thank you for visiting my house" Zulaikha said before they got into the car.
"yes son, we should be the ones who thank you for being welcomed by all your families" replied Bu Dijah, as quoted by Reuters, then the middle-aged woman hugged Zulaikha tightly and landed a kiss approved by the woman making Zulaikha a little surprised.
"frequently contact Mom, and if you go to Malaysia, do not forget to stop by Mom's house, yes" continued Bu Dijah who was replied with a nod of Zulaikha's head.
"be careful, Ammar" Zulaikha exclaimed to Ammar, who was already in the car, smiling widely with a nod of his head in response to Zulaikha's words.
But before they go. A bright red car stopped right in front of Ammar's car making the man unable to drive.
From inside the red car came a woman whom Zulaikha knew. It was Agnes who walked quickly towards Zulaikha.
Agnes standing right in front of Zulaikha made Ammar and his mother confused, Ammar then woke up to tell Agnes to marginalize her car.
"Agnes, what are you-"
Plaque, a slap landing right on Zulaikha's cheek made everyone startled. Ammar immediately got out of his car with emotion when he saw what happened to Zulaikha.
"cheap woman, don't know yourself!" maki Agnes made Zulaikha raise her head with a flushed face, the former slap of the woman.
"stop! is this how you treat others?" exclaimed Ammar who had been standing next to Zulaikha, fortunately Agnes was a woman. Otherwise, Ammar would have beaten him to a pulp.
"hide you! I have nothing to do with you, "agnes jolted, he then noticed Ammar's familiar face.
"if you want to talk, please talk. Humans are given the brain and mind by God to think before doing something, not immediately do something without thinking. It's free for you to be given a brain but you don't use it, you better give it to the animals out there!"
