Tasbih Love In Qatar
Aunt Afra's Threat

Zulaikha glanced at the husband who was still embracing his waist. However, in contrast to the sweet treatment he gave, the look on his face actually showed annoyance when he looked at the former husband who had been staring at him with admiration.

Coinciding with that, Della finds Zulaikha who happens to be staring at Della's husband, making the woman start to get emotional.

"Eh, Zul, you are well, married is also still his eyes are beautiful see the husband of people," accused Della, making Zulaikha rotate the eyeballs lazily, he said, while Della's husband now smiles thinly after hearing the words of the wife. She thought Zulaikha was looking at her on purpose because there was still love for her. Very confident of that man.

"It's ah, let's go back, honey. The longer here the less safe it is for you." Della pulls the hand of the husband who wants to greet Zulaikha until the action fails.

"Based on a strange couple," Zulaikha sneered, then smiled back at the newly arrived invited guests on the lap to congratulate them, while Tareeq's hand had already returned to its original position without any words from the man. I don't know, what her true purpose was, which obviously the girl felt helped by her treatment.

The night was quite tiring for Zulaikha and Tareeq because so many guests from the village were coming, not to mention all his guests brought along their spouses and children.

Neighbors who yesterday sneered at Zulaikha are now silenced by the presence of Tareeq as her husband, a handsome Middle Eastern man with fine feathers on the sides of his face and a well-kept beard, with white skin, tall and muscular, even the tall Zulaikha only reached his shoulders.

"Other times if I break up, I'll travel abroad too, so I can be bule like Zul's husband."

"Yes, it's handsome, it's rich again, I heard all this lightning preparation was paid by Zulaikha's husband at a fantastic price."

"Well, I'd like to miss Zul's husband."

"Mending don't be, Zulaikha is much prettier than you, don't want to switch to you, the lyrics aren't."

Such is the story of the girls and mothers who used to sneer at Zulaikha which was then ended by their laughter.

After resting for a day at the home of Uncle Harun, Zulaikha, Tareeq and Grandpa Husein have now returned to Qatar after boarding the plane for several hours. While in the car to the residence of Husein bin Ibrahim, Zulaikha did not say much, he was more silent while staring out the window.

"Grandfather, tonight we're going to live in our new house." Tareeq began to open his voice in English so that Zulaikha also understood the meaning of his speech.

"Why rush? Let Nameera let go of longing first with Zulaikha, you take it easy, after that Nameera will not disturb your night," Grandpa Husein said with a joke to make the two newlyweds a little misbehaved.

"Alright then," Tareeq replied later.

Upon arrival at the luxurious mansion owned by Husein bin Ibrahim, Nameera was already waiting for their arrival with a nurse beside him. Very clearly visible smile of happiness from the girl's face, even he looks enthusiastic approaching when the car carrying them has been parked perfectly.

"Sister Zulaikha" he said, hugging his sister's wife just as he got out of the car.

"From now on, I will call you Big Brother, because you are my Big Brother-in-law," said the girl so cheerfully.

"Hey, don't you want to welcome your big brother?" tanya Tareeq who was also out across the car.

"Sister Tareeq, Grandpa." Nameera waved her hand at the older brother then turned to Kakenya, then grabbed Zulaikha's hand and brought him into the house leaving the two men of the other generation without a word.

Unlike the Grandfather, instead of entering the house, Tareew chose to sit on the front porch of his house to check his pending work when he went to Indonesia for several days yesterday.

"Sir Zul, I will take you to the private room of Tareeq's sister" said Nameera, continuing to take Zulaikha to her room. However, their steps came to a halt as Aunt Afra stood before them.

The bullying gaze of the middle-aged woman was directed at Zulaikha. He slowly walked right in front of the girl while watching her clothes from top to bottom.

"Tell me, what have you done to my nephew to marry you? He's a perfectionist man, and what's on you is far from perfectionist." Aunt Afra paused her words for a moment, then approached Zulaikha's veiled ear.

"Honestly, you just want the treasure, right?" the middle-aged woman whispered, making Zulaikha frown.

"Sorry, Auntie. I never thought about going there, the beginning of the meeting, I didn't even know that Tareeq was Sister Nameera, the girl I accidentally met at that time in Corniche," replied Zulaikha trying to calm down.

Aunt Afra smiled slanted. "Is that so? You know what not? in this country, men are allowed to have 4 wives, and the state will finance all of them?" tanyakanya.

"Auntie, please don't talk like that" said Nameera.

"Silent are you Nameera," Aunt Afra rebuked with a sharp look towards the girl.

Zulaikha was speechless, his face instantly turning pias, even his heart pounding hearing the words of the middle-aged woman before him.

"Tareeq will keep me married to Qifty, whether you agree or not" said Aunt Afra and left Zulaikha and Nameerah, saying the middle-aged woman sounded like a threat in her ear.

Nameera brought Zulaikha into the Tareeq room, a room that was so big, luxurious, clean, and neat, and the aroma of the room was so fragrant typical of men.

"Well, this is Kak Tareeq's room, may you be at home well, Brother," said Nameera then looked at the face of Zulaikha who had been silent since.

Nameera let out a lethargic breath, she knew the words of the Aunt had made her sister-in-law's heart restless. And rightly, the girl did indeed feel uneasy, given her status which was only an ordinary girl from a simple family, there was not at all an advantage that she could be proud of in the presence of people. Especially considering that Tareeq did not love him, it would have been very easy for Aunt Afra to influence the man's mind to marry the girl of her choice.

"Sister, maybe Tareeq's sister is annoying, arrogant and cold, but one thing is for sure, she is loyal and not easy to fall in love," explained Nameera.

Instead of being calm after hearing his sister-in-law's explanation, Zulaikha was even more agitated. How not? If her husband has trouble falling in love, then how can he love her?

"Hufth," there was a rough gust of breath from Zulaikha, he really did not know how the fate of his marriage would be in the future. He only hopes that happiness can be on his side after what he has been through all this time
