Zulaikha's Last Love

Chapters. 77. Applying or Getting Married Directly?

Zulaikha was silent for a moment, she was compiling the right words to answer what the Seized Mother was asking.

While Mother Colored herself looked towards Zulaikha with worry, likewise, Ammar who saw Zulaikha with sadness for fear of questions from his mother again made the woman remember memories of the past that was so bitter to remember.

"Mom...." Zulaikha clasped Mom's hand made the middle-aged woman return her hand.

"i don't really know how deep I feel left for the past, nor do I know how I feel about Mas Ammar who will soon be my husband and life partner. But-" Zulaikha paused her speech to take a slow breath before continuing what she was about to say.

"But I have surrendered to God, Mom! I found Mas Ammar's face in my sleep every night, I found his smile closed in every eye. I also remember the outline of his face on each of my last prostrations, until my heart became convinced that Mas Ammar was the man God sent to guide me through the ark of this mortal life."

Mother Sewn's hands trembled with tears as she heard the answer from her future daughter-in-law, he hugged Zulaikha tightly while kissing her forehead with deep gratitude to the creator.

"I'm sorry, son! I'm sorry, Mom." Mother Sejah continued to embrace Zulaikha with guilt because she had asked something that she herself already knew the answer.

However, due to doubts that infiltrate the heart. To make the middle-aged woman throw her question, even though Zulaikha himself did not feel offended or angry with what he said.

"Mom doesn't have to apologize, I understand what you're worried about. God willing, Mom! God willing, everything will be fine" said Zulaikha, he rubbed the back of Mother Sejah to calm the middle-aged woman.

Ammar continued to look at Zulaikha without blinking his eyes, he felt really amazed at the nature and maturity of Zulaikha that made him really crazy.

"Zulaikha, I don't want to propose to you. But I want to marry you right away, do you want to?" Ammar was eager to say everything in his heart to Zulaikha, but what power. She was afraid that the woman would be surprised when she heard what she said.

"Father!"

Ammar, who had just realized from his daydream, looked directly at the son, Aziz was presenting a magazine to him.

Ammar saw what his son had given him, and there appeared a portrait of his past memories with his late brother and sister-in-law.

"why are big Papa and big Mama there?" asked Aziz, he who was curious about the magazine on the table immediately saw what was in the magazine.

Mother Sejah and Zulaikha who heard Aziz's speech immediately turned to look at the magazine that was being held by Ammar. They looked curious about something that the man was currently looking at.

"The big dad and the big mama were attending the inauguration ceremony at a company a few years ago, and today the company is holding an event again. That's why they're displaying portraits of Papa and Mama as mementos" Ammar explained, showing the photo to Zulaikha and her mother.

Sejah's mother seemed to smile with teary eyes, she rubbed the photo as a sign that she misses her son and daughter-in-law who are currently at the side of the creator.

"Zulaikha, what if you and Ammar get married?"

Zulaikha and Ammar were immediately shocked when they heard what Mother Colored said, they turned to look at the middle-aged woman sharply.

"Zulaikha, Ammar! is it not better if you get married? the proposal is also end-to-end marriage, so I think it's better if you just get married," continued Mother Sejah later.

Syifa and Sita who were beside Zulaikha and the Ammar family immediately looked at them, Sita even dropped her bag because she was surprised to hear the words of Mother Colored.

"Mom can always read my heart, yes!" Ammar was actually very happy with what his mother said, but he was also surprised why his mother suddenly said that.

"did Mom say that because she was worried"

"no, Zulaikha! don't misunderstand me, "cut Mother Colored.

"Mom only wants the best for you two, and all good things must be done. So, what do you think?" mother asked Sejah later, she looked at Ammar who was also looking at her.

Zulaikha was silent and did not know what to answer to the middle-aged woman, while Ammar was also thinking hard whether to say yes or not.

"Ammar?" Sejah's mother stared intently at Ammar as if she were telling her son to agree with what he just said, and sure enough. Ammar immediately nodded his head making his mother smile widely.

"I, I agree with what Mom said. If Em, I mean if Zulaikha is willing, then I will choose to marry Zulaikha directly," said Ammar, he brushed his fingers that are currently interlocked.

Zulaikha stared intently at Ammar who was right in front of him made Ammar more agitated, while Syifa and Sita who were still spectators were impatient to wait for the answer yes from their brother's mouth.

One second, two seconds. Even a few seconds later, no reply came out of Zulaikha's mouth, leaving Ammar limp.

"I'm ready, Mom! I'm willing to marry you right away,"

"What?" Ammar who felt very shocked immediately shouted making Aziz terjankar shocked when he heard his screams, while Mother Sejah and the two Zulaikha sisters cheered happily because they heard the answer given by Zulaikha.

"what-did I not hear wrong?" asked Ammar again, he looked at Zulaikha who was replied with a nod of her head timidly and a face that had been flushed like a tomato.

As Ammar gave deep gratitude to the almighty, he did not expect that everything he hoped would come true and be granted by the creator.

"Thank you God, thank you for your kindness and compassion. Thank you for granting me my wish, thank you God" Ammar longed to bow before God for all the goodness and grace God had given him, in fact he had never dreamed that Zulaikha would be willing to marry him in this fast time.
