Zulaikha's Last Love

Chapters. 45. Ammar's Words

The atmosphere at Zulaikha's home became very tense after Diana's mother informed her of her arrival, while Zulaikha herself was in disbelief at what she had heard from the middle-aged woman's mouth.

"what's my fault until you tell me to leave?" asked Zulaikha in disbelief, she took off her hand and got up from the chair.

"no son, you're not wrong. Mom just-"

"did Mom think about my feelings just a little bit?" cut off Zulaikha quickly, all this time he had been patient and relented. But for this time, they had gone too far by expelling him from his own residence.

"Zulaikha, Mother-"

"i've always kept quiet and given up Mom! I was silent when I learned of my husband's first marriage, I was silent when I found out that my two in-laws also knew about the marriage. And once again, I kept quiet when I learned that my husband was forced to marry me just because of the request of his parents. So, you want me how else? where else do you want to go to destroy me?"

Diana's mother jumped in shock upon hearing what Zulaikha said, she really felt shocked and did not expect that Zulaikha would behave like that.

"what is the difference between humans and animals?

suddenly the voice of a girl stopped the tension that was going on between Zulaikha and Diana's mother, they both turned to look at the source of the voice coming from Syifa's mouth.

"do you know the answer?" syifa asked back while looking intently at Mother Diana, while Diana's mother was silent with teary eyes.

"if you don't know the answer, let me tell you, "Syifa took a deep breath before continuing.

"man is given reason and feeling by God, while the beast has none of it. So, why do people sometimes behave like animals that have no sense and feelings? sometimes even animals are much better than humans who are always greedy and selfish!" syifa said sharply to Diana's mother, while Zulaikha just silently let what her sister wanted to say.

"and what you're doing now is much worse than an animal,"

syifa's last words managed to tear down Mother Diana's tears, her chest felt very tight to hear everything that the girl had thrown at her.

Zulaikha approached Syifa and clasped her hands as if to say that what was done was enough.

"Mom just wants what's best for you guys, for you and Defin, too,"

"no Ma! what you did was not right. What right did you have to throw me out of my own home? and again, I never bothered Mas Defin one bit!" zulaikha replied softly, even though she was in an emotional state, she still tried to honor her former father-in-law.

Diana's mother fell silent, she lowered her head with her fingers intertwined. His heart ached at what was happening right now, he began to think that perhaps he did not need to tell Zulaikha to leave the place.

"Mother no longer knows what to do, Zulaikha. I just want Defin to be happy in building his household, even if not with you,"

the words that came out of Mother Diana's mouth managed to pinch Zulaikha's heart, she recalled the bitter memories that had occurred in her household.

"Lantas, if you want your son and daughter-in-law to live happily. Why are you ruining the lives of others? obviously Sister Zulaikha has never dealt with your son again!" Syifa really felt very upset, even she was trying hard to hold back her anger that was about to break out soon.

"but Defin was still always thinking about Zulaikha, so he got cold to Agnes-"

"then, you blame Sister Zulaikha for all that? why don't you just ask your beloved son?" cut off Syifa, she had already almost raised her hand to claw at Mother Diana's face.

Zulaikha held Syifa's hand that had been lifted a few inches, she then turned to Mother Diana who was still standing right in front of her.

"Zulaikha, I didn't mean it that way. I just want you to live a quiet life with each of you" said Mother Diana.

"people will not live quietly if they are still zoning others!"

suddenly there was the sound of a man standing at the door, making everyone look at the man.

"Ammar?" muttered Zulaikha, he was surprised when he saw Ammar and his mother standing at the door.

"beautiful aunt!" aziz shouted as she ran towards Zulaikha, while Zulaikha who was still shocked quickly stretched out her arms so that the little boy could embrace her. Zulaikha also squatted her body in order to hug the handsome boy.

"aunts, let's go play the car at Uncle Yusuf's house!" take Aziz while wrapping his hands around Zulaikha's neck, while Zulaikha directly holds Aziz's body and pecks his cheeks.

"so Aziz came here to pick up aunty?" ask Zulaikha.

For a while the atmosphere that was tense can be a little warmed because of the presence of the little boy, especially Zulaikha who feels better at this time.

"yes aunt, I asked Papa to come to the aunt's house," Aziz replied, then Zulaikha turned to look at Ammar who was smiling towards him.

"I'm sorry Zulaikha, our arrival has disturbed you," said Mother Sejah, she felt bad about all those who seemed to be still fighting each other. Moreover, his son had interfered with their problems.

Zulaikha drew closer to Mother Seized and crucified her hand, "no kok Bu, we are not disturbed," Zulaikha replied kindly.

Diana's mother continued to pay attention to what Zulaikha did with people she did not know, her mind was wondering who they had never been introduced to by Zulaikha.

"sorry Diana, we have a guest. So, please. The exit is over there!" Syifa pointed right at the door making everyone shocked by the expulsion she was doing.

"Shyifa!" zulaikha exclaimed, she felt bad about what her sister was doing, especially now that there was an Ammar family watching them.

"if you will excuse me, Zulaikha. Assalamu'alaikum" said Diana's mother as she stepped out with everyone's eyes.

"Mother doesn't have to worry about Ms. Zulaikha, I will take her away and will make sure that you and your family can no longer see her whereabouts!"

Zulaikha who was going to pursue Mother Diana's steps suddenly became silent when he heard what Ammar said, as well as everyone in that place. They looked intently at Ammar with question marks, while Mother Diana turned her back and looked at Ammar.

"who are you?"
