Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapters 11. Just do some polygamy!

...🍁🍁🍁...

Raihan who was driving, was not calm with the commotion that happened just now at Zahwa's house. Moreover, the hateful gazes from all the members of the Calabrian family were on him as well as on his family. How could he fix all this?

Oh Allah...

As soon as he got home, Ustad Arifin and Iqbal immediately sat on the sofa while sighing. While Raihan still looks heartbroken, Amayra said that she would not marry her son to Raihan.

It felt like Raihan's heart was hit by heavy iron.

"Change...Abi.." said Raihan tried to talk even though his heart was heavy. "How could Abah and Abi behave like that? Raihan is ashamed of the behavior of both of you, especially Salima. Your intention is not to apologize, why be like this anyway? You even sow salt on the wound. You see, Zahwa's family is getting mad at us!"

"Udahlah Raihan, you do not continue to talk. The important thing is we've apologized, it's wrong for yourself why did Miss Amayra slap Salimah that way? Yep...Abah did not accept dong," ustadz Arifin tried to defend himself, even though he was clearly guilty.

"Yes Raihan, we don't have to talk about this anymore. You can find other women who are better than Zahwa, beautiful, Sholehahanya, there are still many who want to be with you. It doesn't have to be him, does it?" Iqbal defended himself, this time he deflected Raihan's statement about the Calabrian family, especially Zahwa.

As if to lead Raihan to another woman and away from Zahwa. Raihan frowned.

"Raihan increasingly does not understand Abah and Abi, there must be another reason why Abah and Abi are so against Zahwa? Abah used to love Abi with Zahwa..."

"It used to be the same now it's different, Rai. Abah does not want your reputation to be tarnished for marrying him. Okay, maybe you think she's a good woman. But, as good as any woman if it is stained, it will still have its mark. Once it's disgraceful, surely people will continue to bring it up." Iqbal's att.i.tence stared intently at his son.

"That Zahwa is still holy, Abi!" raihan denies defending Zahwa desperately. "Astagfireullah! Your minds are really shallow!" Raihan did not expect his family to have bad qualities, despite their ustadz title. Maybe they are too fanatical.

"You don't argue with the old man, Rey!" Iqbal snaps at Raihan. While there Salimah was silent.

"Lusa, Ustad Burhan and his daughter will come here. Abah already has a promise with Abah's best friend to marry you to his youngest son."

Both of Raihan's eyes were rounded, while he heard his brother's speech. "Astagfirulah...Abah...why does Abah think so? Abah, already have the previous intention to match Raihan with that woman?!"

"Right," replied Ustadz Arifin with a sigh.

Raihan was again surprised by his brother's confession.

"No Abah, Raihan will still marry Zahwa! Zahwa is the only one for me." Raihan said firmly, no other woman besides Zahwa wants him to marry.

"That you know you're going to be stubborn like this. But Raihan, Abah's promise to ustadz Burhan cannot be undone, if you want to marry the girl. You do polygamy...."

"WHAT?!" Raihan was shocked.

"You make Zahwa your second wife, that's if you agree and the girl agrees. Abah and Abimu don't mind if you have two wives" said Ustad Arifin lightly, asking Raihan to be polygamous.

Astagfirullahaladzim!
