"this is how the man who will be your husband, Zulaikha!"
Defin was fixated where he stood, for some reason his chest suddenly felt tight when he remembered that the man next to him right now was the man who would take his place as Zulaikha's husband.
"Zulaicha!"
suddenly Mother Diana's voice resuscitated Defin from the daydream, she turned to look at the Mother who was trying to wake up.
"don't get up, Mom!" zulaikha and Defin exclaimed simultaneously, they both ran towards Mother Diana making their bodies collide with each other.
"Astaghfirullah." Zulaikha immediately moved away from Defin's body as their shoulders clung to each other, while Defin himself was glued while looking towards Zulaikha with his chest pounding tumultuously.
Ammar who saw all that just smiled faintly, he then approached Zulaikha who was bowing his head in the corner of the room like someone who had just made a big mistake.
Another thing with Ridwan, the man's jaw hardened when he saw what had just happened. It was very desirable for him to take Zulaikha away from this place right now. But he tried to be patient and resist the emotional turmoil that began to take hold of him.
"are you okay?" ammar asked, the man slightly lowered his body to look at Zulaikha's face.
Zulaikha looked at Ammar wistfully, he felt guilty towards the man as he recalled that his shoulder collided with Defin's shoulder.
Ammar smiled broadly when he saw Zulaikha's sad face, knowing that she must have felt bad about what had just happened.
"Zulaicha!" again Mother Diana called out to Zulaikha making the woman instantly come back closer, but this time she took a safe distance from Defin's range.
"Mother" said Zulaikha as she clasped the middle-aged woman's hands, her eyes glazed over as she looked at the thin body of her former in-laws.
"Zulaikha, Son!" Diana's mother tried to raise her hand, she wanted to rub Zulaikha's face.
Zulaikha who understood the direction of Mother Diana's hand immediately raised the hand and put it on her own face, seen Mother Diana looking at him with I sayu accompanied by tears of sadness.
"Mother's in good health? sorry that Zulaikha can only come now," said Zulaikha softly, he rubbed the hand of Mother Diana who held tightly to his right hand.
Diana's mother smiled looking at Zulaikha, her eyes continued to shed tears when reminded of past events that must have hurt the woman.
"forgive me, son! I'm sorry, Mom,"
"Mom..., why are you apologizing? You never did anything wrong to me!" Zulaikha turned to hug her former in-laws with a cry that she could no longer bear, her heart so sore at the current state of the middle-aged woman.
"Sir!"
suddenly Irham's voice distracted all of them, even Rashid's father who was still sleeping soundly woke up because of the voice of the man's call.
Irham then entered the room in a hurry to get to Defin.
"Sir, the doctor wants to see you!"
Hearing Irham's words, Defin immediately walked out making everyone look at him with a confused look.
"Zulaicha!"
Zulaikha turned his gaze back to Mother Diana, where she saw Diana glancing at Ammar who was standing behind Zulaikha.
"Mom, it's Mas Ammar!" Zulaikha.
Ammar who felt his name being called approached beside Zulaikha and crucified Mother Diana's hand. "I'm Ammar, Mom!"
Diana's mother pulled a slight corner of her lips forming a smile for the man and was met with a wide smile from Ammar.
"Yes Dad, are you in good health?" Zulaikha got up and crucified Rashid's Father's hand making the middle-aged man smile.
"Daddy good, son! thank you very much for being willing to come here" said Rashid's father, he was very grateful because Zulaikha wanted to see his wife.
Then they all exchanged news even though Ridwan and the Defin family felt awkward due to something that happened in the past.
However, the existence of Ammar managed to melt the atmosphere. The man tried to re-knit the tangled threads between the Zulaikha and Defin families, because however Ammar did not want to if until the cord of their friendship was cut off.
"Zulaicha!" calling Mother Diana slowly, the middle-aged woman looked like she wanted to say something to Zulaikha.
"Yes, Mom! do you need anything?" Zulaikha stroked Mother Diana's hand which looked very thin.
"are you married to him?" Diana's mother seemed hesitant to ask Zulaikha about the sensitive matter. However, his heart felt very curious because he could see how close Zulaikha and Ammar were.
"we're not married, Mom! god willing if there is no obstacle this week we will get married," replied Zulaikha, he glanced at Ammar who was chatting with Rashid's father and also Ridwan.
Diana's mother continued to pay attention to the look on Zulaikha's face, seen her son's ex-wife was so happy when she looked at Ammar.
"is there really no chance for Defin, son? I'm so sorry for what I did, so is Defin who is now suffering so much without you!"
Diana's mother was eager to express her heart, but she was afraid of ruining the atmosphere and also she felt it inappropriate to say all of that before the Zulaikha family.
"oh yeah, Defin and Irham were going where?" asked Rashid's father, he looked at Zulaikha as if he was asking the woman.
"i don't know Well, but I think Mas Defin is seeing Agnes," replied Zulaikha, he remembered that Agnes had been taken to the ER.
"Agnes?"
Mother Diana's body shook violently when she heard the woman's name, cold sweat began to pour out even though the room had air conditioning.
"what's up, Mom?" Zulaikha felt extremely worried when he saw Mother Diana's face become extremely pale, even the middle-aged woman looked a little frightened with her hands clenched firmly.
Rashid's father, who saw all this, approached his wife, while Ammar ran out of the room to call the doctor.
"what's up, Mom? what happened to Mom?" zulaikha asked with a tremble, she felt very worried about the state of Defin's parents.
"istighfar, Mom! istighfar," said Rashid's father, he tried to calm his wife by telling her the good things that happened in their lives.
Not long after, a Doctor and several nurses entered the room. Everyone was ordered to leave the room because the medics were about to conduct an examination.
"Oh my God, what exactly is going on? why did you suddenly become like that?"
