Zulaikha's Last Love

Chapters. 88. An Uncontrollable Love

"say! tell Mas everything, Dek!"

Syifa's tears flowed more and more when she heard what Ridwan said, while Sita who was still in that place turned to hold Syifa's hand as if hinting that she should not tell Ridwan everything.

Ridwan who felt that something had happened immediately invited them to sit back, he wanted to find out what caused Syifa to cry like that.

"all of you are my sisters, so no matter what happens, you must tell Mas! I don't want your mother's incident to repeat itself!" Ridwan sighed harshly when he recalled Zulaikha's problem, he felt disappointed because he did not know that his sister's household was not okay.

Slowly Syifa began to raise her head and look at Ridwan, she was eager to say everything to the man hoping that all the feelings lodged in him could disappear after hearing the advice of the Brother. But he also knew that his brother would be very disappointed if he knew that he kept the love for the husband of his own brother.

"Shyfa?" for once again Ridwan asked Syifa for the girl to open her mouth, even her eyes now glared sharply as if forcing Syifa to say everything.

"Mas, I-I"

Sita tightened her grip when she felt Syifa was going to say everything, while Syifa herself looked at Sita and nodded her head as if she was not going to do something like that.

"Syifa, if you don't say it, then Mas himself who-"

"i'm in love, Mom!" cut Syifa slowly, looking Ridwan and Sita a little surprised by what he said.

Syifa brushed her fingers with nervousness and uneasiness, but if she did not answer Ridwan's question, then her brother would definitely continue to force her to open her mouth.

"then, do you want that Brother to wave that man to you?"

"no!" shouted Syifa and Sita simultaneously, Ridwan to jump in shock because of the sound of screaming both of them.

While Syifa and Sita looked at each other, they did not expect that they would answer Ridwan's question simultaneously.

"why? there is nothing wrong with a woman proposing to a man! after all, in Islam it is recommended to rush something good, before the devil comes who directs something into something that is not good" said Ridwan, who was not good, he slightly pulled the corner of his lips forming a thin smile as he felt funny with what was happening with Syifa at the moment.

"no, Mum! how could Mas propose to a man who was already Mas's own sister-in-law?" Syifa again felt guilty with the love she had in her heart.

"no, Mum! I can't" said Syifa, she rubbed the tears that made it out of the corner of her eye.

Sita who saw the sadness of Syifa of course also felt sad, actually she was very unbearable to see Syifa like that. However, he also cannot support the girl's love which will hurt many of their loved ones.

"why can't it? does that guy not like you?" Ridwan was curious about the figure of the man referred to by Syifa, he also wanted to know how the figure of a man who managed to make his brother super hard to fall in love and full of tears like this.

Syifa shook her head to answer Ridwan's question, she then took a slow breath before answering the figure of the man in her heart.

"i can't propose to her, Mom! let alone being with her, because of her" Syifa paused her words as the pain again pinched her heart, for the first time she felt in love, but she also had to take away the love that was in her heart.

"he, he's already someone else's husband,"

"what? you, what did you say? someone else's husband?" Ridwan felt very surprised to hear Syifa's reply, clearly a look of disappointment on his face at this time.

Syifa again nodded her head with fingers interlocked, her palms began to get wet because of the cold sweat that spread throughout the body.

Sita, who was still faithfully sitting next to Syifa rubbed the girl's shoulders affectionately as if to encourage her. He also looked at Ridwan sadly and prepared to say something to the man.

"what is it, how is it possible, Mas?" sita asked, it seems like she disagrees with what Ridwan said.

Ridwan looked at Sita sharply. "you know everything, Sita?"

Sita sighed violently and nodded her head, she was sure that at this time she would also be hit by the tantrum from Ridwan.

"you know, too, but you're quiet? you shut up when your sister loves someone else's husband?"

"then what should I do, Mom? do I have to split Syifa's chest, and take her heart to bring out the love she had for that man?"

Ridwan was silent at what Sita said, his tongue felt stiff to reply to what the girl said.

"Mas, I know that Syifa fell in love with a man who was married to another woman. I also knew that it was impossible for Syifa to be with that man. But, what's Syifa's fault in this, Mas? he also did not want to have feelings for the man he could not have, his heart was also tormented feeling that love! if only we had power over the love we have in our hearts, we would not be wrong to fall in love with someone else!"

as the atmosphere became silent, Ridwan, who had seemed emotional and disappointed, now turned into a sad.

Suddenly, his memory returns to the memories of the past when his late brother brought a woman home when his sister was married, even had a child with another woman.

Back then, he also seemed very emotional and wished for his older brother to go far away from them. However, he regained his composure when his sister's wife gave him advice about love that could not be controlled in our own hearts, especially if the devil had managed to control the heart.

"Mas, I'm sorry if I crossed the line. Really, I don't mean to teach or patronize, Mas!" lirih Sita, she felt regret for not being able to control her own emotions.

Ridwan shed tears when he heard what Sita said, actually he was very proud to have very intelligent and insightful Sisters like them.

"No! you're innocent, Sita. Who can't think well like you."

Syifa and Sita shook their heads to refute what Ridwan said, they disagreed with what the man said.

Without them all knowing, since then there was a pair of ears that were stealing hear what they were talking about. He who intended to fetch drinking water inadvertently heard Syifa's outpouring and undo his intention to go to the kitchen.
