Tahajud Love
Chapter 74 “Tahajud Cinta”
Hafizha mangosteen, he understood what Khadijah meant. And at half-time at eight p.m., Hafizha was escorted by Abdullah to Mariana's house.
In the room there were only Yulian, Khadijah, Ahtar and Humaira. It was as if Yulian wanted to conduct a trial to Ahtar and Humaira. Because Yulian did not want to believe just that with Humaira's talk about a woman who forbade him to approach Ahtar.
“Now Abi and Mommy want to talk to both of you. And we beg you to answer honestly our every question.” Yulian looked at Humaira and Ahtar with a sharp look.
“Good, Abi... Mother.” Ahtar nodded.
Humaira just looked down while nodding. And Humaira's attitude made Khadija feel strange in every movement. Even Humaira did not dare to look at Yulian or Khadijah who were fellow women. Like there's something hidden, that's sealed shut.
“For the first question Abi will ask you, Ahtar.”
“Good, Abi.”
“Do you have a girl friend? Exactly special friend.” Yulian looked at Ahtar sharply.
The question made Ahtar look at Yulian with a questionable look.
“What does Abi mean? How could Ahtar have a female friend? Don't be weird, Bi.”
“Then... who is the woman named Ezra?” ask Yulian to investigate.
Ahtar tried to remember the name called by Yulain, who knew he did have a friend by that name. However, Ahtar still does not remember the owner of the name Ezra. Even Ahtar felt he did not know that name.
“Deg..”.
Humaira's heart immediately felt an irregular beat, but not a meager heartbeat when looking at a man, but a debate felt because of fear.
“Humaira, how? Can you explain what Ahtar said?”
Humaira fell silent, trying to think how to answer the words of Yulian who cornered her. Even after Ahtar said the honest thing, Humaira was getting scared.
“Humaira, if you are not lying to us then explain to us. to be honest. Who's the woman who owns the name Ezra?”
“Pardon Humaira, Om and Mother Khadijah. But Humaira really doesn't know all that, which Humaira knows Ezra is a woman who does work in that place. But really, Humaira didn't mean to lie to you guys.” Humaira's eyes flashed a twinkle of fear.
“Why didn't you tell me from the beginning? Not that Om has given you time to answer honestly, but you are lying.”
Humaira just kept quiet, she did not want to say anything in her defense. Because Humaira admitted wrongly had lied and made up stories about a woman named Ezra. Because the name was actually not there is only Humaira's essay. So, why is Humaira in the night lady's place?
“Then explain what do you mean to lie like that? Although we are not your parents, we are obliged to guide you on the right path Humaira. Even you should know, because you had time to study in the city of Tarim. So, what is this?”
Humaira did not budge, only teardrops drenched her black veil.
