Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 38. Falling off a cliff

...🍁🍁🍁...

"What else is it?"

"Auntie...Zayn, if I get divorced from my wife, will you accept me?"

Amayra immediately glared at Raihan's words. "You're really not being assertive. Have you made a promise in front of your brother and also in front of God, so easily as you say divorced? Truly, you are an irresponsible and unbelievable man, sorry-I cannot trust my only daughter to you. And you better take care of your household," said Amayra firmly, her face showing disappointment to Raihan.

Amayra felt grateful that Zahwa did not marry Raihan. Amayra knows that every problem, every disaster, there must be a silver lining. Amayra and Zayn also leave Raihan who looks upset there.

It did not take long to get to Bogor from Jakarta, right at 9 pm Zahwa and his friends arrived at the road that leads to mount Kencana, the mountain where they will hike and camp.

Arriving there, Zahwa and his friends climbed up the mountain and stopped and rested for a while in the tent before climbing the summit.

"We rest here, guys, for the night" said Firman, one of the seniors who led the mountain climbing trip. He's the most skilled at climbing.

"Yes sis!" answer everyone in unison.

"Okay, I'll share your bed. One tent contained 4 people," Firman smiled, he also began to share the sleep group.

Zainab, Zahwa, Vera and Tiara one group sleeps even one group for mountain climbing tomorrow. Vera and Tiara were visibly unhappy with Zahwa's presence inside the tent. "Idih..one group of dirty people," said Tiara as she glanced at Zahwa who was tidying up the blanket.

"Beauty will get dirty.iuh.." said Vera while showing a disgusted expression.

"Well, very noisy anyway. The fly seemed to be rukiyah." murmured Zahwa loudly, he was annoyed that the two people kept bothering him.

O Allah forgive the lips of this servant, forgive the sins of the servant O Allah. These two men are really testing your servant. The girl apologized and begged for forgiveness for the power in her heart.

"Ish..what the hell!" yelled Tiara annoyed.

"Udah dong! It's late at night, sleep spout do not fuss.don't forget istighfar, read prayer as well.do not julid the same people." Zainab glared at the two women, so there was no talk of the two.

Then they both fell asleep, wrapped in a thin blanket they brought. Zahwa and Zainab, who turned their backs, did not sleep. They are not comfortable with the situation, they may also be awkward. Zainab is awkward and feels guilty to Zahwa for being married to her future husband and Zahwa is awkward because she feels her relationship and Zainab will stretch because of Zainab's guilt. Zahwa did not hate Zainab at all, he accepted all this fate. Yes maybe he is not a match with Raihan.

"Sister..hasn't Zainab's sister slept?" asked Zahwa while sighing. With a position that is still turned back to Zainab. Zainab turned her back, she saw Zahwa's back.

There was no reply from Zainab, but her eyes were still wide open. "Sister.if you're still awake, Brother please listen to me. Brother, I am not angry at all with my brother and I do not hate my sister because she married Raihan. Not at all brother! Yeah, maybe I was hurt at first, disappointed, but now I'm fine. So brother don't feel guilty, don't be awkward with me, we're still friends. I pray that the household of the elder brother is lasting and happy, Raihan is a good man, Sholeh and I am sure the older brother will soon love him. Sis, don't feel guilty or apologise again to me-because I'm sincere." said Zahwa with his big heart.

Zainab smiled bitterly at Zahwa's words to her, tears streaming down her cheeks. Is it true that Zahwa is not angry and blames him?

Then Zahwa closed his eyes, and when he was about to close his eyes, there was a circular hand hugging his body. "Sir Zainab?"

"You're not really mad at me, are you?" asked Zainab sobbing.

"Sister..sister cry?" Zahwa felt something wet on his back. Zahwa was about to turn his body around, but Zainab held him back.

"Don't.don't look at me and just answer me, are you really not mad at me? You don't hate me and we're still friends?"

"Yes, sister, I don't hate you at all.So calm down."

Zainab was relieved when she heard it. "Keep, are we still friends?" Zainab tightened her embrace.

"Yes, brother."

"Thank you Zahwa.thank you for being so kind to me."

"Sister, don't cry anymore."

Finally the two girls have expressed their feelings and returned to be friends.

****

The next day, Zahwa and all his friends go on a mountain climbing trip with a separate group. All of them were 20 people and were divided into 4 groups just like the sleep group. But the number of men there are only 4, from that one man becomes a leader in the journey of one group.

Zahwa, Zainab, Vera and Tiara, led by Sisters Firman, Aini led by Riki.

"Zahwa, you won't do anything, will you?" ask Aini.

"Why would I? You do not do me?" asked Zahwa with pursed lips.

"Yes, don't dong! I mean, wouldn't you be okay with that same bunch of julid duo? Who knows if they want to hurt you?" aini's lyrics to Vera and Tiara who hate Zahwa so much.

"Oh, that's not possible!" zahwa said with a relaxed smile. "They don't like me, but they're not kids" Zahwa said.

"Yes, you have to stay upright just be careful.I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Please, Ai, I'm here to take care of Zahwa." Zainab smiled, she again familiarized herself with her two best friends.

"Yes, brother, take care of Zahwa! He also sometimes likes to run down if he sees a banana tree, he likes to climb." joking Aini who just made Zainab and Zahwa laugh.

It's wonderful that the friendship of the three of them who had heated up is now back to improving.

Then Zahwa, Zainab, Aini returned to their respective teams and began the mountain-climbing journey. Who gets to the mountain first and sticks the flag of the group, will get a prize from the head of the camp organizer.

Zahwa's group wore red scarves, others blue, yellow and green.

They also began climbing the mountain, quite tiring until several times they rest first. Zainab, Zahwa look at each other like brothers.

"Come on! Comeing! Night hunt, we gotta move fast. Still strong, right?" ask the four members of his team.

"Strong brother!" answer the four members compact.

"Bismillah, let's start the journey again." said Firman with a smile.

It didn't feel like it was late in the afternoon, they were almost at the top until Zahwa realized that his bracelet was gone when Zainab told him.

"Zahwa, where's your bracelet?"

"Ge-lang? Astagfirullah!" pekik Zahwa was surprised to realize that Rey's gem bracelet was not in her hands when she always wore it except during ablution.

Secretly Vera and Tiara smiled cynically seeing Zahwa panicking.

"At that time we'll get there, later we'll, wa" Zainab told Zahwa.

"The bracelet.." The girl panicked her bracelet was gone.

The bracelet is from brother Rey, the price is also expensive.duh how is this?

"Sister Zainab can't ask for help?" Call Vera to Zainab.

Zainab left Zahwa and walked a little ahead to Vera. Meanwhile Tiara approached Zahwa who was still at the back with a confused face, they were still walking.

"You why Zahwa?" ask Tiara.

"Eungh.it's okay."

"Is it possible you lost the bracelet?" guess Tiara.

"Kok you know?" Zahwa was surprised that Tiara's guess was correct.

"So I saw the red gem bracelet, stuck on a tree near the cliff" point Tiara back, which is a steep cliff there.

"The truth is there?" zahwa asked a little relieved to hear the words of Tiara who knew where her bracelet was.

"Yes, right.I think I have a dedemit here. You know that I took it,"

"Tiara.please tell me the same brother Zainab with the Word, ask me to wait. I'm looking for a bracelet!" exclaim Zahwa while looking at Zainab, Vera and Firman who are not far away walking in front of him.

"OK wa, relax" Tiara said with a smile.

Without saying anything else, Zahwa went to the back because the distance was not far from the group. He looked for his bracelet to the place charged by Tiara.

"Basic bego," Tiara, the short-haired girl grinned at seeing Zahwa leave from there.

When Zahwa left, no one noticed. They continue their journey without Zahwa.

*****

Meanwhile Zahwa went to the cliff in question, he saw that the bracelet was really there. "Why is the bracelet there?" Zahwa was astonished to see his bracelet stuck in a tree branch near the cliff. Carefully Zahwa took the bracelet with a tree branch, before long Zahwa managed to get the bracelet. "Alhamdulillah"

Suddenly the ground that became his footing was collapsed. Zahwa Oleng's body, he fell from there. "Aaaahhhhh!! BROTHER REY!" zahwa shouted while holding the bracelet.

Brugh!!

Zainab, Firman, Tiara and Vera were shocked to hear Zahwa's screams behind them. Finally Zainab and the Word who had not realized that Zahwa did not exist, they realized it.

"Firman, that's Zahwa's voice!"

Vera and Tiara panicked, their faces turning pale. They see each other.

The four people also walked to the origin of the voice in panic. They found a scarf that had the name Zahwa hanging over a cliff tree branch. And the ground on the cliff was also collapsed.

"Zahwa!" zainab cried out in panic and was terrified that something had happened to Zahwa.
