Zulaikha's Last Love
Chapters. 73. Undecided
"Mas Ridwan just hated me so much, how could I possibly expect Zulaikha back?" Defin felt like he could no longer fight for Zulaikha when he remembered the so much suffering he had given the woman.
"just go ahead, Om. Tell me what you want from us!" said Ridwan later, he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and 3 hours more departure will arrive soon.
Rashid's father who was about to open his mouth was defeated quickly by Defin's hand which was currently gripping his arm, he then looked at Defin and was answered with a nod of his son's head as if he would tell them what they wanted to come to the house.
"Mas, we want to ask Mas for help," said Defin, his fingers interlocked with palms that have begun to alkalize because of sweat.
Ridwan frowned when he heard Defin's words, but he was still silent and did not cut off what the man wanted to say.
"right now, I'm in the hospital. And she" definitely paused her speech because she was hesitant to say what her mother wanted.
Ridwan remained silent waiting for the continuation of Defin's remarks, actually he had heard that Ms. Defin was hospitalized. However, right now he was only focused on knowing what they wanted without discussing any other issues.
Rashid's father patted Defin on the shoulder to convince his son to say everything, the middle-aged man hoping that Ridwan could understand their current state.
"Mother wants to meet Zulaikha, Mas!" defin continued, he continued to lower his head because he did not dare to meet with Ridwan's eyes.
Silence, that's what's going on in that room. Not a single person opened his mouth, until Defin tried to raise his head to look at Ridwan.
"lantas, you asked me to bring Zulaikha here, did you?" Ridwan who deliberately waited for Defin to look at him immediately launched an attack, clearly visible anger and hatred that emanated on his face at this time.
Defin was silent, his tongue stiffened and unable to say anything. It was as if his voice was stuck in the throat with the roar of breath that began to hunt.
"Om please, Ridwan. Please help us, Om's wife really wants to meet Zulaikha. He kept mentioning Zulaikha's name at a critical moment, help us Ridwan. Help us!" Rashid's father cupped his hands together in front of his chest to beg for mercy from Ridwan, he really could no longer do anything at this moment.
Ridwan was speechless, he actually felt surprised by what Rashid's father said. But, he couldn't do anything either. Because all of this has to do with Zulaikha.
"I can't help!"
Rashid's father immediately drowned when he heard Ridwan's rejection, as well as Defin who looked at the man with sadness.
"I can't help you by bringing Zulaikha back here, it's all her will. He decides whether to come back or not, I can't drag him back here. Like you forced him to leave his own home" Ridwan said, filled with heart-wrenching insinuations, even Aisyah who had been watching from the corner of the room had not expected that her husband could say that.
"your heart must now be relieved, Mas! because you've managed to get out all the anger you've been holding back for a long time, "Aisyah feels that Ridwan is currently venting his emotions.
"just a little bit, you empathize with him a little! Can't you see the sadness and destruction in his eyes? does your heart not tremble every time you see the look on his face that holds many wounds? huh uh?" Ridwan really can no longer hold back, especially for a long time he wants to vent all his anger on Defin, which is the source of destruction in the life of the Brother.
Defin and Rashid's father were bowed to hear all the words expressed by Ridwan, there was not a single word of rebuttal thrown by them.
"if you had a little pity on him, he would have been very happy,"
jleb, Ridwan's last words managed to stick right up Defin's heart making the man's body tremble violently and slumped down in front of Ridwan.
"wake, boy! what are you doing?" said Rashid's father, he tried to develop Defin even though the man did not move at all.
"forgive me, forgive me!" defin's head was down with his shoulders shaking when he was crying.
Ridwan and Aisyah jumped in shock at seeing what the man was doing, they really did not expect that Defin would do such a thing.
"I was truly evil and sinful to Zulaikha, I broke her heart and feelings for my own selfishness. I'm sorry, Zulaikha. I'm sorry!"
Rashid's father hugged Defin's body because he could no longer see his son like that, while Ridwan and Aisyah were stunned in their place with a feeling that was not right.
"what are you doing, Defin?" asked Ridwan, he felt uncomfortable when Defin was standing before him like that.
Because seeing the absence of movement from Defin, Ridwan immediately pulled it by tightly gripping the collar of Defin shirt makes Aisyah and Rashid's father round their eyes.
"o God, Mum!" yelled Aisyah, she was afraid that there would be a fistfight between the two men.
"if you really feel guilty, then apologize properly to Zulaikha. And don't disturb her life anymore, let her live happily!" said Ridwan with great emphasis, he then released the grip of his hand to make Defin sit on the sofa.
Ridwan rubbed his face violently, at this time he was seen being overwhelmed by anxiety because he thought about Mother Diana's condition.
Aisyah who saw her husband like that did not stay still, she approached Ridwan and clasped the man's hand made Ridwan feel calm again.
"do your best, Mommy. Let not God be angry because we hold a grudge," whispered Aisyah, she patted Ridwan's arm to convince the man that all his choices were the best.
Ridwan fell silent, he was thinking about whether to tell Zulaikha this matter or not. Especially now that Zulaikha is busy preparing applications and also the wedding day with Ammar.
"what am I supposed to do? I don't want to ruin all their preparations, but I can't ignore my humanity for that family either. Oh my God, what should I do? give me a hint to the confusion of this servant!"
