Tasbih Love In Qatar
Missed him

Love is like a speck of light, when by day its existence is not cared for, but when night has come, even if only a speck, its presence will be highly anticipated.

Sometimes a person takes a relationship for granted, without realizing how sacred and important it is. Until the moment the relationship ran aground, then he realized that he had been dependent and comfortable with the relationship.

"There were no passengers on board Zulaikha Azkadina from yesterday to today."

Tareeq turned off his phone after getting word from someone he ordered to check his wife's name if she had traveled by plane.

A day had passed since Tareeq had realized Zulaikha's departure. Already several places he visited to find the whereabouts of the girl, even to the apartment owned by Grandpa Husein who had been his temporary residence, but the results were nil.

Since yesterday, Tareeq did not visit Nameera because of the existence of Ammara Mother that he still could not accept. Although after the explanation of the Grandfather yesterday made him a little grateful if his presence could treat the homesickness of the sister, but still, the wound would not heal just like that.

After finishing work in the office, Tareeq did not immediately enter his room, he chose to enter the room that was right next to the main room, which was located next to the main room, the room that used to be a resting place for his wife that he had always ignored all this time, even though the girl was always quick to prepare everything she needed without being asked.

The man sat on the bed while rubbing the bedsheet that felt so soft. There was a feeling of tightness in his chest that he could not express, the pain that was present because of his own actions. If only that night he could control his words, perhaps the chatty girl was still with him at the moment.

"It seems like I'm getting used to your presence, and this departure of yours is really torturing me."

Elsewhere, Zulaikha stood staring at the window of the apartment, his gaze straight at the stunning beauty of the island below.

The Pearl of Qatar, an artificial island in the city of Doha is circular surrounded by apartment buildings.

It is the first residential area in Qatar to allow freehold ownership for foreigners. And Grandpa Husein specially bought it on behalf of Zulaikha as a gift some time ago.

*Flashback*

That night, Grandpa Husein felt that something was wrong between Tareeq and Zulaikha after seeing the two leave the hospital. Worried about their relationship made the elderly man come to the house of the grandson. Upon his arrival, he heard Tareeq's sharp and painful words to Zulaikha.

Grandpa Husein grew curious when he saw Zulaikha coming out of Tareeq's room and into the room beside him.

"Have they been in separate rooms all this time?"

Husein's grandfather felt so guilty and unbearable to Zulaikha. Intentions wanted to make Zulaikha happy by marrying her to her well-established granddaughter, but it turned out to be just a wound the girl received. The elderly man finally decided to meet Zulaikha outside the house when he saw the girl coming out of the room while dragging a suitcase.

His face was sad, even a trace of tears still stuck to his cheeks. He really did not expect Tareeq to say such a painful thing to a girl as good as Zulaikha.

The elderly man immediately approached Zulaikha when he saw the girl coming out of the house, he told the girl to get into his car and leave the Tareeq residence.

"Be honest with Grandpa, son. Has your household been all right?" asked the elderly man to Zulaikha who was just silently bowed.

"We're fine, Cake," the girl replied softly.

"Why are you living in a different room?" search Grandpa Husein.

Zulaikha looked at the Grandfather of her husband with question marks, how could Grandpa know? I thought so, but still he was confused to answer how.

Husein's grandfather who understood the meaning of Zulaikha's gaze finally spoke back. "Grandfather had seen everything including the words Tareeq, the boy was completely outrageous. I'm sorry, kid, but Grandpa doesn't want to interfere in your domestic affairs. However, for now stay in your apartment for a while, calm your heart."

"My apartment?" Zulaikha felt a little confused, his home in Indonesia alone was very simple, how could he have an apartment in a country of people.

Grandpa Husein nodded with a smile. Shortly after, the car carrying them stopped in front of a tall building.

They continued to walk and ride the elevator to the apartment unit that Grandpa Husein meant.

"Well, stay here for a few days, calm your heart, and teach Tareeq a lesson with your loss of news, if he calls you, just ignore it."

"We don't have each other's numbers, Kek," honestly the girl, making Grandpa Husein can only pat her eel.

"Astaghfirullah." Only that speech can be said by Grandpa Husein who feels sorry for the household of the grandson.

"Alright, Grandpa will go home first, assalamu 'alaikum," he said and left. Zulaikha stared at Grandpa Husein's disappearance behind the wall and then he entered his unit.

*flashback off*

A week has passed since Ammara's mother kept Nameera in the hospital. Even the middle-aged woman had already introduced her son named Rafif to the girl, and she was able to welcome his sister well.

Several times Nameera asked Tareeq to come to see her, but the man always refused because he did not want to meet Ammara's mother. Somehow the way he had to take in order to reconcile his sister's mother.

In the midst of his worries, Nameera's phone rang, and again the name of the older brother was listed on the flat object screen. Most also want to ask the news as usual because they can not see him directly.

"Hello, assalamu 'alaikum, '" said the girl.

"Wa'alaikum hail, how are you, brother?"

"Come away, if you're curious come straight here, brother."

"I'm sorry, Brother."

"Yes, if you don't want to come, just turn off the phone."

"Wait, do you have Zulaikha's mobile number?"

Nameera, who knows his grandfather's plan, now smiles happily. Has her sister run out of ways to find Zulaikha this time? If that was the case, then he would take advantage of this situation.

"I have, Brother. But if you want to pick it up, you better come here directly, "Nameera said and there was no sound on the other side of the phone, it looks like the man turned off his phone.

An hour, two hours, up to three hours had passed, the wall clock had even shown at 11 p.m., but the man had not come.

Nameera was just about to turn a blind eye to rest following Mother Ammara who had slept first due to exhaustion, but suddenly the sound of the door opening again resuscitated her,

A handsome man who is none other than his brother is now standing in the doorway, he turned for a moment towards Ammara's mother who had fallen asleep, then turned to look at the sister.

Tareeq stepped closer to Nameera and kissed her sister.

"I'm sorry you never saw you, you still need time to accept everything, and I hope you understand" the man said, making Nameera lie down could only stare at the serious-looking face of the older brother.

"Now my sister is in a state of turmoil, my sister's sleep has never been better, and my days have been very empty. I have to admit, I miss Zulaikha very much, so please help out this time."
