Most Beautiful Khilafat
The Most Beautiful Conversation Chapter 25.

"Tok Tok Tok"

There was a knock on the door from outside. Zahira who had just fallen asleep instantly woke up and rose from her bed. She accidentally did not wake Zayn because she knew her husband was very tired and needed time to rest. Last night Zayn had to stay up because Zahira asked him to keep. Otherwise, his eyes were hard to close.

After getting out of bed, Zahira walked out of the room and opened the front door.

Suddenly Zahira's forehead shriveled to see who had come to visit her house.

"Mom Lina?" greet Zahira shortly after the door opens. His eyes narrowed welcoming the arrival of the middle-aged woman. A few seconds later he turned his gaze towards Suganda who was sitting in a wheelchair. "Dad?" with a confused look.

Why did her ex-father-in-law come to her husband's house? What was? A series of questions suddenly appeared in Zahira's mind. Could the arrival of Suganda have anything to do with Roni?

"Zahira, can I come in?" tanya Suganda broke Zahira's daydream.

"Yeah, come on in!" zahira answered, then shifted from where he stood.

Having obtained permission, Lina pushed Suganda's wheelchair into the house. Instantly Suganda's heart melted staring at every corner of the simple little house occupied by his son and ex-daughter-in-law.

The woman he hoped would give birth to the granddaughter of his eldest son, would now instead give birth to the granddaughter of his youngest son.

Life that previously struggled with wealth, now even changed as it is. There is a feeling of happiness and sadness when remembering the chaos that occurred between the two sons.

If at that time Suganda did not throw out Zayn, maybe this kind of incident would never have happened. The two of them could not possibly fight over the same woman.

"Please sit down, Mom! I'm sorry that this house makes you uncomfortable" Zahira said. She had no guest chair, and Lina had to sit on the floor with only a mat.

"It's okay," Lina replied with a small smile.

After Lina sat down next to Suganda's wheelchair, Zahira left the room for a moment. He went into the kitchen and made tea for the two of them.

Not long after, Zahira returned with a tray and placed it in front of Lina.

"Drink Mom, Dad," Zahira bargained.

"Yes, thank you." said Lina and Suganda together.

For a moment the room suddenly became silent, the three were silent in their respective thoughts.

"Zahira, are you happy with Zayn?" ask Suganda break the deadlock.

Zahira was aghast and looked up at Suganda. Did the question have anything to do with Roni? Did her ex-husband ask Suganda for help in persuading her to return?

"Zahira is happy Dad, Zahira is very happy. Zayn is a good man. Although his life is not as lucky as Mas Roni, but he really appreciates Zahira. He gave everything that Zahira never got from Mas Roni." said Zahira with teary eyes.

"Do you love her?" ask Suganda again.

"Yes Dad, Zahira loves Zayn very much. Although our age is much different, but Zayn has a more mature nature than his age. Zahira is comfortable with Zayn." Zahira explained.

Suganda heaved a sigh of relief hearing that, a smile engraved on his lips. Despite failing to make Zahira his eldest son-in-law, he is happy that Zahira still holds the status of daughter-in-law for him.

Whether or not Zayn is his biological son, he is grateful that his promise to Zahira's late father did not just disappear.

"Where's Zayn? Is he not home?" Suganda asked again.

"There's Dad, Zayn is sleeping." replied Zahira.

Suganda turned his neck towards the door of the room, his gaze looking sad. If he could walk, he was eager to meet Zayn in person and wake up his sleep. Unfortunately the movement of Suganda is limited by circumstances.

"May I see Zayn?" ask Suganda for permission.

Zahira rounded her eyes. Why would Suganda want to meet her husband? She is afraid that Suganda has Zayn divorce her and force her back to Roni.

Then Zahira turned towards Lina. The middle-aged woman commented on the smile while nodding softly, a sign that Lina did not mind Suganda's request.

"May Dad, then wait a minute." Zahira got up from her seat and went into the room.

With a slightly agitated face, Zahira approached the bed and sat down by her side.

"Darling.." said Zahira, shaking Zayn's arm.

"Hmmm..." Zayn squirmed and opened his eyes slowly. "Why baby?" ask Zayn while rubbing his eyes.

"There's a guest, let's get up!" bring Zahira.

"Who?" Zayn asked back.

"Mom Lina with Dad. Uh, I mean the guy we saw at the hospital. My ex-in-law," Zahira said nervously.

"You mean Roni's father?" Zayn opened his eyes wide. Zahira nodded in response. "What's he here for? Does this have anything to do with Roni?" suddenly Zayn's voice grew slightly.

"Sstt... Don't be so loud, they'll hear." Zahira pressed Zayn's lips against his index finger.

Immediately Zayn got up from his bed and rubbed his face roughly, then the two of them left the room to meet Lina and Suganda.

When the two arrived outside, Zayn frowned. There was clearly doubt in his heart as he gripped Suganda's face. Different as she looked at Lina, there was a thin smile engraved on her lips.

"Mom Lina," Zayn said, then he sat down opposite the woman. Zahira sat down beside him.

While Suganda himself seemed to be teary-eyed looking at Zayn's face, at first glance he was like reflecting on him at a young age. He was stupid because he could not feel anything when he met at the hospital before.

After looking closely at Zayn's face, his heart slipped. His chest throbbed in pain with his heart racing. There was a feeling that seemed to pierce the chest, suddenly Suganda felt tight. A drop of clear liquid fell on the corner of his eye.

"Za-Zayn's..."

"Bug!"

The loud clashing sound made Zayn, Zahira and Lina aghast. Suddenly, Suganda's body was lying on the floor with his hands out to reach Zayn.

"Yes..."

"Dad..."

"Sir..."

The voices of Lina, Zahira and Zayn were said to shout at Suganda, the three of them panicked to see how he was doing.

"Zai-Zayn... My son.." said Suganda, a second later his eyes were closed unconscious.

"Mas.." cried Lina with a loud voice breaking the eardrum. He shook Suganda's arm but received no response.

At once Zayn and Zahira stared without knowing what to do. The two looked at each other with confused faces.

Did they not hear wrong? The two had just heard Suganda call Zayn my son. Are their ears both in trouble?

"Zayn, please help Mom! Take Dad to the car" Lina panicked.

"Dad?" Zayn frowned, of course he was getting confused.

"Quick Zayn, don't buy time!" urged Lina with glazed eyes. Suganda cannot end until he knows the truth.

"Y-yes..." Zayn nodded slowly.

Then Lina ran to call Fikri who was waiting near the car.

After Fikri got into the house, he and Zayn carried Suganda in the car. Lina sat next to him holding Suganda so that his body would not slump.

"Zayn, Zahira, you two have to go to the hospital!" lina cried before the door closed.

Zayn frowned. "For what"

"Don't ask that much, take me to the hospital now!" Lina raised her voice.

"L-Yes, we'll catch up." Zahira replied quickly, then closed the door.

After the car disappeared, Zayn scratched his head which was not itchy at all.

"Why do you agree with Ms. Lina's request?" Zayn turned his gaze toward Zahira.

"Zayn, i-" Zahira was stunned without knowing what to answer.

"You seem to be very worried about your former in-laws, or even intentionally wanting to meet his son?" blame Zayn who has been consumed by the flames of anger.

"Zayn.." snapped Zahira. He did not accept being accused like that. He was worried about Suganda, but it had nothing to do with Roni.

"There's no need to find an excuse" Zayn stepped out and left Zahira just like that.

"Zayn.." cried Zahira, but did not get the slightest response.

Suddenly Zahira's tears just fell, he didn't expect Zayn to accuse him like that.

Zahira then followed into the house and passed Zayn who was sitting at the bottom of the floor. Zahira quickly entered the room and slammed the door violently, then locked himself up while crying bitterly.

During the marriage, Zahira wept this time because of Zayn's very painful accusations. What's wrong with Zahira worrying about Suganda? All this time the man was very kind to him. Why does it have to be associated with Roni?

Seriate...
