Zulaikha frowned. There was a misunderstanding between them.
"It's not so, Om. From now on I have to get used to eating at home. Not good dong, later if there is Bu Bilqis in Om's place. So, it is better if from now on I keep my distance from men who are prospective husbands" Zulaikha said insinuating Yusuf.
"Not that you said yesterday will never give up before Ijab qobul said," replied Joseph in a reply like Zulaikha.
"After thinking about it again, why also I pursue men who do not love the same I let alone men who already like other women. I don't think there are any other men in the world" Zulaikha continued.
Joseph felt heartbroken hearing the words of Zulaicha just now. Zulaikha's face and seductive smile were also not visible on his face. It seems cold and doesn't care about him. Joseph did not like this. He wanted to see the usual Zulaikha. Labile girl who likes to flirt and take care of every meeting. The shameless virgin always clings and says love to her.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" joseph asked with a probing look.
"No. Right now I want to focus on something first" replied Zulaikha.
"Don't lie! I saw you kissing a guy at your school yesterday!" Joseph's voice rose an octave higher than his usually meek tone when speaking.
Zulaikha widened his eyes in shock. She never kissed except last night.
"Om, what's the talk? When do I kiss? You know, last night was my first kiss!" reply Zulaikha with a little emotion.
Jonah who was standing behind the door was shocked when he learned of the incident that made Zulaikha's face last night turn red.
'Oh, so because of kissing the Om, his face was red like that, ' said the inner Jonah.
"I saw with my own eyes when you and him kissed in the schoolyard when I was about to deliver your lunch" Yusuf said.
Jonah and Zulaikha immediately recalled the incident in the courtyard during a glint.
'This is the Om, already misunderstood, ' the inner Zulaikha and Jonah together.
"It seems like I misunderstood you, huh! Yesterday it was my eyes flickering and .... I don't think this is Om's business. I want to have a boyfriend or not. Wanting to kiss anyone is not Om's business," said Zulaikha while draping his hand on the chest.
Without them realizing that since then Asiah witnessed the quarrel between the two of them. For Asiah this was the first time she had witnessed people she loved fighting. If yesterday he only knew when Zulaikha left with a sour face, did not witness directly.
Joseph and Zulaicha had forgotten the existence of Asiah who had been there. Both men are privileged because they have shown something appropriate in front of small children.
"Don't, I'm sorry Mama. Ma—" Zulaikha has not finished talking already cut by Yusuf.
"Don't, I'm sorry. If it just made you sad. But, Father did not quarrel with Sister Zulaikha," said Yusuf who crouched in front of his daughter.
"Dad was just called a fight. Father is not usually like that same Mama Zulaikha," replied Asiah.
Joseph took a breath and exhaled slowly. Then he stood up and looked at Zulaikha.
"I'm sorry, if the words I said provoked your emotions. That's all your right. You can do whatever you like. I have no right to forbid." Joseph said it with a wounded heart.
And so is Zulaikha. He felt his heart hurt. When people loved by him say indirectly do not want to care about him anymore.
The two look at each other. From their gazes was implied the pain of being injured that did not bleed.
Zulaikha who was already unable to hold back her cries went straight inside and closed the door. He fell down leaning behind the door. Crying hysterically and suddenly. Even Joseph could hear the sound of crying.
Jonah who saw his master cry like that, felt pity.
"You must be strong. This is one way to protect them. Don't let that person go after the person you care about, either" Jonah said slowly.
"sickness ...! Why does it hurt so much" said Zulaikha holding his chest.
"Let's hold on until we can get rid of him from your life." Jonah crouched down in front of Zulaikha and gently stroked his head.
"Until when do I have to survive?" zulaikha asked with tears. He doesn't like the situation now. He needs to stay away from the people he loves.
