Tasbih Love In Qatar
Girl with Abayha

Tareeq again fell silent, to be honest he loved his sister very much, and he could not bear to refuse all his sister's requests given the circumstances of his sister's illness, but this time he was not ready for the wedding.

"But Grandpa, Tareeq is not ready, after all Tareeq does not have a wife who is ready to love Nameera sincerely?"

"Grandfather and Nameera already have a suitable candidate for you, Tareeq."

Tareeq frowned until his two eyebrows intertwined. "Who is he?"

"Zulaikha."

"What's? Nah! Until anytime Tareeq will not marry the Indonesian girl," Tareeq refused.

"But Tareeq, this is your sister's wish, she felt only Zulaikha was very sincere to her."

"That's because Nameera doesn't know the reason behind me not liking Indonesians, Nameera also doesn't know why I refused to marry all this time. He doesn't even know anything about what happened to Dad ...."

"Who said Nameera doesn't know, sister?"

Tareeq and Grandpa Husein immediately turned to face Nameera who was staring at them while lying on her bed.

The girl now rose from her sleep and looked at the two men of different generations. "I was a little boy at the time, but everything I saw with my eyes and what I heard with my ears was clearly recorded in my memory. Even Mother's words to Father that said 'I'm tired of sickly husbands like you, ' I still remember them clearly, '" Nameera said in a trembling voice.

"W-what? You even remember those words, Dik?" Nameera nodded her question with tears beginning to flow from her eyes.

"But, haven't you always looked ordinary?"

"Nameera is not mediocre, more precisely Nameera tried to look mediocre, at least there is comforting brother when brother grieves due to separation that led to the death of father," said Nameera as he pleased.

"Then why do you still want that girl to be your Sister-in-law?"

"Zulaikha is different brother, she is kind, she is sincere, and Nameera can feel it from the very beginning of meeting."

The atmosphere in Nameera's room at the moment seemed so claustrophobic. Not only Nameera, but also Tareeq, considering the word married only his chest is crowded, how can he marry a person who has the same origin as the man who damaged his family? It's really wrong at the moment.

"This is my life, who will live the household later is me, please no one forced me," Tareeq said and then walked out of the room.

The next morning, a black-hooded girl walks down Corniche Road, gazing in admiration at the beautiful city of Doha. The slightly cold temperature made his spirit even more.

This morning he plans to go to Souq Waqif, the traditional market where he and Nameera yesterday walked together. He would buy some Muslim clothes for himself, and Aunt Anisa and Muslim clothes for Uncle Aaron. Zulaikha has decided to return to Indonesia immediately after making sure Nameera's condition improves.

It feels like she's staying in the country for a while longer to accompany Nameera, but she's not a wealthy Sultan, she's just an ordinary girl who works hard to get to Qatar, and have to come back before the money runs out.

His intention for Qatar to calm down seems to have been achieved, his very brief encounter with Nameera really had a positive influence on him and his heart, nameera's determination to keep doing his best even though his condition is not so good becomes a lesson for Zulaikha.

Zulaikha's footsteps are now stopped at a booth selling Muslim women's clothing in Souq Waqif. One by one the clothes he put in front of his body to know how fit the clothes on his body.

After finishing shopping, Zulaikha returned to Grandpa Husein's apartment first to change clothes, then he went to the hospital again to visit Nameera.

Tareeq is currently in the office. Because of his regret, making the man spend the night in his office, he is also very reluctant to go home if there is no grandfather who always protects him from his tantamount so arranged.

"Assalamu 'alaikum, sir. This is the information you asked for yesterday, I've been looking for it all night." Ali put a chocolate map in front of her boss.

"information? What information?" ask Tareeq.

"Information about the girl who was in the apartment at that time, yesterday afternoon you told me to look for her" said Ali.

"Just tell Ali, today I'm really badmood to read it."

"Good, Sir. Her full name is Zulaikha Azkadina, and she is 22 years old. She works as a waitress in a meatball stall."

"Want to have a good meat."

"Four years ago, both his parents died in an accident, and because of that he could not attend college, he chose to work after school. Now he lives with his Uncle who has worked as a TKI in Saudi Arabia, and his Aunt who works as a herbal medicine seller. And the warmest news was that one week before the wedding, Zulaikha withdrew her marriage license at the KUA office, which meant she was null and void."

"Why did he break up the marriage?" tanya Tareeq was a little curious.

"Based on the information I got, her future husband cheated on her and impregnated another woman."

"Pity is also her fate, but I don't want to marry her, on her appeal, I prefer a graceful woman with an abaya and a veil covering her head" Tareeq said.

"Oh yes sir, your grandfather called because your number could not be reached. He said that this afternoon Miss Nameera will be returning home" Ali said.

"Okay, I'm going to the hospital in a little while, '" he said and returned to work.

A few hours later, Tareeq was already preparing to go to the hospital. He got out of the office and headed straight to his car, a few moments later the car drove at a speed heading to the hospital.

The long footsteps of the man vented him towards the room of the younger brother, the sister who had upset him all night because of strange desires that he could not fulfill.

"Assalamu 'alaikum, Namee...."

Tareeq's words immediately stopped when he saw a very graceful girl with a black abayha and a veil covering her head in matching colors. The man had seen the beauty of the girl, very different from the girl he had seen yesterday morning apartment.

"Close your eyes and shut your mouth, for she is not your wife yet" whispered Grandpa Husein near Tareeq's ear, making the man a little surprised and misbehaved at the same time.

"Ecchem ... Ekhem, I'm going to take Nameera's stuff to Grandpa's car" the man said and immediately took Nameera's stuff out of the room.

While Zulaikha had finished helping Nameera get ready, he helped her to sit in a wheelchair and pushed her out of the room to follow Grandpa Hasan.

"Zulaikha, are you married?" Nameera's question instantly made the girl pushing the wheelchair laugh softly.

"Taking a long trip like this alone certainly indicates that I am not married."

"Love?"

"Nothing, why is it?"

"No, I just want you to be my sister-in-law, how about it?" nameera asked, instantly making the wheelchair stand still.

Nameera looked up at Zulaikha who was silently staring behind her.

"You don't joke, I don't like jokes about marriage."
