Zulaikha's Last Love

Chapters. 72. The Arrival of Uninvited Guests

After a confession of love filled with tears and happiness, today Ammar and his family plan to hold a proposal event for Zulaikha as well as talk about their marriage.

Ridwan and Aisyah who had been informed by Ammar immediately prepared to leave for Malaysia, to attend the event.

At first, Ridwan was in disbelief, thinking that Ammar was just joking with them and saying that he would marry Zulaikha. Moreover, they themselves know how the current condition of Zulaikha, which must still be very hurt by the past.

However, when Ridwan asked directly to Zulaikha. Only then did Ridwan and his wife believe that what Ammar said was true and rushed to prepare all the necessities for the event.

"i did not expect Mas, that Zulaikha would receive Ammar's proposal," Aisyah said as she arranged their clothes into a suitcase.

Ridwan who was carrying the son was seen lowering his son on the bed, he then sat next to the wife who was sitting on the carpet.

"right, Deck. Mas also did not think that Zulaikha would soon get married, but his name was already a mate. Want to avoid like anything will definitely stay together," replied Ridwan with a distinctive smile made his wife look at him sharply.

"but, why does Mas look so happy?" asked Aisyah, she could see the radiance of happiness on the face of the husband.

Ridwan further developed his smile when he heard the wife's question, he then laid his body with his head on Aisyah's lap.

"Mas!" Aisyah pinched Ridwan's nose with anxiety because her husband instead of answering her question, but instead slept on his lap.

Ridwan then grabbed Aisyah's hand and kissed her. "Of course I'm happy, Dek. You know for yourself how Zulaikha's life, every day Mas always worried about him and always called Ammar to ask about their news. Especially when Mas knew that Defin went to see Zulaikha, Mas felt very worried."

Aisyah returned the hand of the husband tightly, she knew that her husband must be very worried about his sisters.

"I understand Mas! like Mas who was always worried about them, I was also very worried about their circumstances. Especially now that they are far from our eyes, I am afraid that if something happens in the lives of our sisters," Aisyah replied, she also loved Zulaikha and her sisters like her own siblings.

"but now we don't have to worry anymore, Ayesha. I'm sure that Ammar will surely give Zulaikha happiness, happiness that he never got from his first marriage" Riwan's voice sounded bitter when discussing the past, how his sister's feelings were destroyed without being left in the least by the Defin family.

"every day Mas always pray, so that Zulaikha get a companion who really loves and guides him to the Paradise of Allah," said Ridwan, who was the leader, he only hoped that Ammar would be able to give Zulaikha the happiness that he should have from before.

"Aamiin," Aisyah also wishes Zulaikha all the best, and she hopes that Zulaikha will no longer feel the kind of suffering she has ever felt.

Amidst their chatter, suddenly the sound of the house bell rang making Aisyah rush up to see who is visiting their house today.

Ridwan who also woke up moved his son who had fallen asleep to the middle of the bed, he then put the bolster as a barrier so that his son did not fall while sleeping.

Ridwan then followed the step of his wife who had already come out of the room, Ridwan felt a little surprised because he did not hear any sound when he saw his wife was standing at the door.

"who is" Ridwan could not continue his words when he saw the two men who were looking at him at this moment.

Aisyah immediately turned her face away and slightly shifted to the side so that the husband could meet the two men who were currently visiting their house, while Ridwan himself is still stuck in his place at this time because he did not expect that he would return to see a figure that he hated so much.

"can we come in, son?" asked Rashid's father, it turns out that he and Defin are currently visiting Ridwan's house.

Aisyah rushed to the kitchen to prepare drinks and snacks for their guests, while Ridwan and his two guests were already sitting on the living room sofa.

Rashid's father glanced at Defin who was also glancing at him, they felt they did not know how to say their intentions and goals came to Ridwan's house.

While Ridwan himself was still quietly waiting for their words, he was reluctant to ask because indeed his feelings were still overwhelmed by anger at their family.

"sorry if our arrival interrupts, Mas. But we just want to be with the Mas family" Defin said, trying to mince words with Ridwan.

Ridwan smiled cynically when he heard Defin's words, "when did you come here?"

Defin and his father became stiff when he heard Ridwan's words, especially Defin who was seen bowing his head because indeed during his marriage to Zulaikha, only once he came to visit Ridwan's house. It was also because Zulaikha who was sick at that time.

"our relationship isn't that close, so you better say what you want? or do you want to throw my family out?" ridwan asked sarcastically, looking tension on the faces of Defin and Rashid's father because of the guilt in their hearts.

Aisyah's arrival slightly melted the atmosphere that felt very gripping, especially there was not the slightest good reception presented by Ridwan because they did not deserve to be treated like that.

"Son, we're sorry for everything we've done. We know that what happened must have hurt all of you, especially Zulaikha. We are absolutely guilty son, forgive us," said Rashid's father, he could say nothing more than an apology to Ridwan's family.

Ridwan gave a rough sigh, he instead held a grudge for Defin and his family. It was just that the pain in his heart was really still very much felt, even when he saw their faces. It was clear how Zulaikha's tears were dripping with pain from their actions.

"we are just ordinary people who have no power to hold grudges or resentments, let God alone take over all those feelings,"

ridwan's words instantly silenced the mouths of the two of them who were completely pinched with his words, especially Defin who looked pale with the sweat flowing over him.

"Mas Ridwan just hated me so much, how could I possibly expect Zulaikha back?"
