Zulaikha's Last Love

Chapters. 67. Syifa's Secret

After finishing with the affairs of the stomach and heart, Ammar rushed to invite Zulaikha to go home. He wanted to tell the woman to rest because from the morning Zulaikha was busy with a myriad of work.

"who, how come Mar's home?" zulaikha asked confusedly, there was still a lot of work to be done but why Ammar was taking her home.

"Mbak already quite working, besides Bang Rafa also must have known how the performance of Mbak!" answer Ammar.

Zulaikha looked at Ammar in confusion, but he followed the man's footsteps to get into the car.

Along the way, Ammar kept a big smile. He was very happy with what happened today, although he had not received an answer from Zulaikha but had bloomed with flowers.

"what's the matter Mar?" Zulaikha who had since noticed Ammar was curious about the smile painted on his face, he held his own face to make sure that Ammar was smiling not because there was something on his face.

"what's wrong, Ma'am?" Ammar asked Zulaikha back because he did not understand why the woman asked him.

"since you kept smiling, I thought there might be something funny" replied Zulaikha, he then took his phone inside the bag because he felt it was vibrating.

Zulaicha saw the incoming call from Syifa and rushed to answer it and settled with Ammar who answered his question earlier.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Deck!"

"i'm happy because I've expressed my love for you, Ma'am!"

Zulaikha and Ammar looked at each other for their voices, while at the other end of the phone was Syifa who heard clearly what Ammar said.

Blush, Zulaikha's face immediately reddened because he was reminded of Ammar's confession while Ammar himself only smiled knot with a red tinge that also appeared on the corner of his cheek.

"ha-hello, Deck?" Zulaikha chose to speak to Syifa as if he had not heard what Ammar said while Syifa was still silent across the phone.

"Shyfa?" call Zulaikha when you don't hear the voice of your sister.

"i'll call you back later! assalamu'alaikum," tut's.

Their call was cut off when Zulaikha had not answered Syifa's greeting, the woman looked at her phone in confusion.

"what's wrong with him?" zulaikha's murmur made Ammar briefly look at him.

"what's wrong, Mommy?" he then looked curious as to what had happened to the woman.

"this is Syifa, suddenly calling. Continuing to be suddenly turned off," replied Zulaikha while sending a message to Syifa, he was a little worried about the state of his sister.

Ammar who heard the name Syifa suddenly remembered the incident a few days ago, he thought he might have to say all that to Zulaikha.

"eemm Ma'am, there's something I want to say" said Ammar, he glimpsed Zulaikha making Zulaikha again thump.

"a few days ago, I took Syifa to the company. Then, I accidentally hugged her,"

Zulaikha stared intently at Ammar when he heard what the man said, he who had thought that he would hear the confession of Ammar's love was saddened and also surprised.

"hugging? what does hugging mean?" asked Zulaikha, he was sure that a man like Ammar could not have embraced a woman.

Ammar then recounted everything that happened on the day he accidentally hugged Syifa, and he also told her that after that nothing else happened between them.

Zulaikha listened to Ammar's story solemnly, and then suddenly Zulaikha remembered the two women who had rubbed Ammar.

"so, the woman they're referring to is Syifa?" Zulaikha now understood that the woman who became the gosipan material in the Ammar company was his own sister.

Meanwhile, in another place there was a girl reciting in a mosque. He whose heart is beset with sadness and tightness continues to spill everything on the creator.

Syifa poured out all her grievances before God sobbing, she could not pour out her heart to anyone especially to the Brother whom she knew was beginning to put her heart on Ammar.

After feeling better, Syifa rushed out of the mosque and accidentally met a man she had met in the Ammar company.

"You?" syifa said when she saw Rafa standing right in front of her, while Rafa himself frowned because he felt he had seen this girl somewhere.

Without taking a dizzy, Rafa who does not remember the figure of Syifa immediately turned around and left the place leaving Syifa who is still nailed to his place.

"clear, very arrogant Uncle," grumbled Syifa as she continued her footsteps to go home.

Along the way, Syifa continued to try to calm her feelings as if she was in turmoil. He was very surprised when he heard Ammar's words from the brother's phone, his heart was wondering if something had happened to his brother and also the man.

Not long after, Syifa had arrived home. The day has begun to afternoon, it looks like the traffic of the vehicle is starting to get crowded because it is now time to go home from work.

"assalamu'alaikum," Syifa said as she opened the store door, Zulaikha and Sita were busy preparing orders for the buyers.

"greetings wa'alaikum" answered those at the place, Syifa rushed in and sat her body in the cashier's seat.

"Have you come home?" syifa asked as she sipped the drink on the table, her throat feeling very dry at this time.

"You have come home from now on" replied Zulaikha, and he sat down beside Syifa who was leaning his head on the table with support with both hands.

"oh well Dek, can you ask me something?" zulaikha asked, in fact he did not want to interfere with the affairs of Syifa. However, he was afraid that his sister was uncomfortable with what Ammar had done.

Syifa who was feeling very tired just nodded her head to let her talk as she pleased.

"did something happen between you and Ammar?"

Zulaikha's question managed to make Syifa open both eyes that had closed, he then glanced at Zulaikha sharply.

Sita who heard Zulaikha's words also looked at them, she glanced at Syifa who looked very surprised to hear the brother's words.

"what do you mean?" syifa asked, her chest pounding hard for fear that her Mama would know how she felt about Ammar.

"Ammar the same story as Ma'am if he does not deliberately hug you in his room," replied Zulaikha.

Syifa and Sita's faces changed pias hearing the woman's answer, especially Syifa who immediately felt guilty because of the incident that she always thought of Ammar.

While Sita was silent with a glance towards Syifa, it turned out that she knew something that Syifa was hiding from all of them.

"Syifa, take the plunge for Zulaikha's sake!"
