Tasbih Love In Qatar
He's my Wife Candidate

Don't ever joke about marriage, because I once thought my marriage would actually happen, in fact he was just joking with me.

All this time I've been calm doesn't mean I'm okay, I'm just trying to accept the reality, the reality that has played with my feelings.

And if you ask, will I receive a relationship again? The answer is I'm ready, but maybe I'll no longer involve feelings in it.

(Zulaikha Azkadina)

The car driven by Grandpa Hasan's private driver has now arrived at the mansion owned by Husein bin Ibrahim's family followed by Tareeq's car in the back. A house so luxurious, big and beautiful like a palace in a fairyland. This is where Tareeq and Nameera were raised after the separation of their parents.

Zulaikha's eyes seemed unblinking looking at the house that was even 10 times larger than the luxurious house of the richest man in his village.

"This house can be big for him how well? Uncle's house in aja village whose size is only as big as a security guard post this house for him until the flood of tears," murmured Zulaikha in Indonesian.

"What did you say, Zulaikha?" ask Nameera who does not understand the words of the girl beside her.

"Oh it's okay. Because you have arrived, it means I go straight home well," said Zulaikha was about to get out of the car, but was immediately detained by Nameera.

"Don't go home first, you have arrived here, at least you have to stop by, overnight is okay, I'm happy, want well, please," said Nameera expectantly.

"Hmm, all right," replied Zulaikha.

"Nameera, do you want Grandpa to help you get down?" ask Grandpa Husein.

"Nameera is the same Zulaikha, Cake," said the girl excitedly.

"Okay, then Grandpa went down first well, the wheelchair was taken out Mr. Abu earlier," said Grandpa and then went down first.

Along with that Tareeq walked after the Grandfather to the terrace of the house. After that, Zulaikha went down first and helped Nameera sit in a wheelchair and then pushed her.

"Tareeq, look back." Husein's grandfather embraces the grandson, making Tareeq look back where Zulaikha was helping Nameera, he is seen telling stories while occasionally joking with Nameera.

"Have you ever seen a girl as sincere as her? Even your aunt never did, then her? He's a nobody, he doesn't know us, but he wants to help Nameera. If it's someone else, maybe he's gone because he's bothered, think about it, son." Grandpa Husein patted Tareeq gently on the shoulder and went into the house first.

Tareeq stared at Zulaikha from afar, not knowing what he was thinking, but after that he went straight into the house.

"It just so happens that you come home in the afternoon like this Tareeq." Tareeq's aunt immediately welcomed the man and took him to sit on the sofa, where there were already two beautiful women of different ages sitting in front of him.

"Tareeq, meet you, this is aunt's friend, and this is her eldest daughter, Qifty Humairah. He just finished his medical education with the title Cumlaude, what do you think? She's pretty, right? Oh yes, we plan to marry you to her," Aunt Afra said with confidence.

Aunt Afra, that's how Tareeq and Nameera called her. She is the younger sister of her father who helps take care of them while their mother is away. Unfortunately, the middle-aged woman only cares about Tareeq's life, very different from her sister Nameera who has since been convicted of leukemia, she instead told the sisters to take care of it, not to take care of it, not to take care of it, near him he refused.

"What's? Sorry, Auntie, Tareeq can't," Tareeq refused and got up from his seat and immediately went to the living room.

"Taree." Aunt Afra apparently did not stay silent, she even caught up with Tareeq and left her guest.

"How dare you fight your aunt? Remember well, it's the aunt who's taken care of you and replaced your mother since you were a teenager, and aunt never asked you to do something you hate, right? So please, just accept auntie's request this time, "please ask the middle-aged woman while holding one hand Tareeq.

In the midst of his rage, he sees Zulaikha entering while pushing his wheelchair towards Nameera's room.

"Sorry, Auntie. Tareeq could not accept Bibi's offer, because in fact Tareeq already had his own choice of Tareeq's future wife," Tareeq finally replied.

"What's? Who her? Why didn't you tell auntie?" ask Aunt Afra with a face that is difficult to interpret.

"That's it." Tareeq pointed at Zulaikha who was about to enter Nameera's room.

"Yukaikha!" call the man and approach him.

Zulaikha who heard her name called immediately stopped her footsteps and turned to the source of the voice along with Nameera who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Include her name Zulaikha, she ...." Tareeq glanced at Zulaikha who was smiling towards Aunt Afra. "He's Tareeq's future wife." The smile on Zulaikha's face instantly disappeared without a trace with the question mark gaze he now gave to the man.

"What the fuck? No wind, no rain, all of a sudden saying 'wife-to-be, ' is he joking?" zulaikha's mind is full of question marks.

Unlike Zulaikha, Nameera actually gave a smile, she felt very happy finally the brother wanted to grant her request that night. And that means Zulaikha will stay with him.

"What's? She?" Aunt Afra's index finger was even in front of Zulaikha's face.

"Yes, Bi. Is something wrong?" ask Tareeq.

"From his face, he's not Middle Eastern, don't say he's Indonesian" Bibi Afra said.

"He is indeed Indonesian, but he is different from what Bibi thinks" said Tareeq.

"Oh yeah? Then what attracted you to him? Is he a doctor? Is he a descendant of a conglomerate? Is he a businessman?" The question after question that came out of the middle-aged woman's mouth was like a blow to Zulaikha.

"Not everything, Auntie," the man replied honestly.

"Gosh, are you kidding me? Nah! Aunty will not approve of your marriage" Aunt Afra firmly refused.

Zulaikha could only clutch firmly at Nameera's wheelchair grip when denigrated by the middle-aged woman right before him.

"Sorry, Bi. This time, let Tareeq himself make the choice, because the one who undergoes marriage later is Tareeq himself," Pinta Tareeq, said, making Aunt Afra throw a rough breath while staring intently at Zulaikha who was still bowed.

"You guys, come in, I'll go back to the office" Tareeq told the two girls to rush into the room before getting a rant from Aunt Afra.

Zulaikha and Nameera were already inside Nameera's room. However, Zulaikha was now more silent. Not even a call from Nameera was heard.

"Zulaikha."

"Zulaikha?"

"Nameera, I'm going home now well, hopefully one day we can meet again."
