Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 39. Zahwa's missing

...🍁🍁🍁...

Prangs!!

A glass fell to the floor and made the glass into a shard there.

"Astagfirullahaladzim!" pekik Amayra was surprised by what she was doing.

"Mama, why ma?" asked Zayn and approached his mother who was in the pantry. It just so happened that Zayn had gone home that afternoon and was doing some of his work at home. Seen he wears anti-radiation glasses so as not to get too dizzy when looking at the screen of his laptop.

"Mama is okay Zayn, suddenly I'm weak. Mama thought to your sister," Amayra held onto her chest, she suddenly recalled her daughter.

"Ma.mama don't worry, Zahwa must have fun with his friend."

"Eunghh.try calling him Zayn."

"Ma, Zahwa's on the mountain again.The phone's off and he's got a signal. Mama, don't think too much, Zahwa won't do anything." Zayn held his mother's hand, calming her down.

"Hopefully so."

"Yes, my mom is sitting down.let Zayn finish the glass."

"No need Zayn, let's just mama!"

"Sit's sitting down." Zayn sat his mother on a chair near the pantry. He took a glass and filled it with drinking water, and he gave it to Amayra.

Then Zayn carefully cleaned the broken glass on the floor. Although Zayn is a man, he can do homework and not be spoiled. Even he can cook, he always remembered the message of his father, that he should be able to please his wife later. By doing housework, cooking and so on.

Amayra gulped down her drinking water with a feeling of anxiety, for some reason her heart felt bad. And to be honest, Zayn feels the same way about Zahwa but he keeps trying to calm down.

The zahwa? You okay, deck?

*****

Everyone had gathered at the scene where Zahwa had disappeared. Everyone rushed to find Zahwa around, even Firman, Aini and Zainab desperately wanted to go down to the cliff to look for Zahwa. But Riki proposes not to go down to the cliff because the day already wants night and already cloudy like it wants rain.

"We'll find Zahwa tomorrow, we'd better get back to the tent!"

"No Rik, how can we go back to the tent if Zahwa has not been found. Fear him why." refute the Word that does not agree with the advice of Riki.

"How do we go? We also have to rest, if we are in the middle of the mountain under these circumstances it can be dangerous for everyone."

What Riki said was indeed true, the weather and the current circumstances did not support looking for Zahwa. But will they just shut up when one of their friends goes missing? It can't be that way, can it?

"Okay.ya it's already gini. Girls go back to their tents, while guys.we look for Zahwa." suggested Rian, one of the seniors who was there too.

They nodded in agreement with Rian's decision and advice. The women returned to their tents. Zainab and Aini were restless at the thought of Zahwa's salvation.

"Ai, how is this?"

"I'm also restless, I'm afraid something happened to Zahwa. O Allah, may Zahwa be okay." said Aini as he looked at the specks of rain that began to fall soaking the earth.

Until the next day, Zahwa was still not found. Finally they decided to call Zahwa's family.

That night, Zainab, Aini, and some of the senior brothers who had joined the camp were unsettled because they had not yet found the bright spot where Zahwa was.

"Fear... Zahwa really fell into the abyss, so we should ask the SAR team for help. Here, who has Zahwa's family contacts?" ask the Word with a troubled heart.

Aini held out her hand, "I'm brother,"

"Here? Come with me, we'll go down the mountain looking for a signal to call his family. And the others please stay here first, don't go anywhere!" affirm the Word to all those who are still there.

Aini and Firman went down the mountain while carrying Aini's cell phone. After going through a half-hour journey, Aini finally found a little signal on her phone.

"Where's Ai? Is there a signal?"

"There's a brother, even a little bit, bismillah.hopefully can."

"Okay, you call Ai's family."

Aini saw the name on her phone, actually she was a bit hesitant to press the call button on the pictor's name. "Sad..."

"Did? Let's call!" tell the Word to Aini.

"Ah.iya sis."

If it wasn't for the force, I wouldn't have called you a pictor.

Aini immediately pressed the call button on Piktor's name. Shortly after, the piktor picked up the phone from him. Zayn was just about to leave for the office with his mother, riding in a car because Amayra's motorcycle was in the workshop.

"Assynolt,"

"Vaalaikumsalam. What's the hulk girl?" ask Zayn while holding the steering wheel and get ready to start the engine of his car.

"Udah the road ledekin me first. I want to tell you some important news about Zahwa."

"What's the same with Zahwa?" zayn asked seriously. Meanwhile, her mother is still seen locking the door of the house.

"Zahwa is lost in the mountain-"

"WHAT? Are you kidding me? Don't mess with the hulk chick!" zayn insisted that he did not immediately believe Aini's words.

"I'm serious Zayn, if you don't believe me. This is talking to the Word." Aini handed her phone to Firman, so that the man could explain to Zayn that he was serious.

Zayn immediately spoke to the Word, and the Word began to explain what had happened to Zahwa. Zahwa is missing and he may have fallen into the abyss. "Astagfirullahaladzim!" sighing Zayn while holding his chest, he was so shocked to hear this news.

It turned out that my gut feeling and Mama's gut feeling were right.

"Zayn, what's wrong with you?" chirps Amayra who suddenly got into her car and sat next to her.

"I'll be there soon" Zayn said, then hung up quickly. He was trying to control the look on his anxious face at this moment. Zayn didn't want his mother to go into shock.

"Zay? Why are you, son?"

"What's wrong ma, there's a matter of cooperation in the office." Zayn developed his smile at the forced.

Astagfirullah..gimana if mama finds out that Zahwa is missing? I'd better find out first what his condition is, and don't tell mama. I told you, Rey.

It was seen that the man was still awake with the condition of thick panda eyes, it was clear that he stayed up all night. For whom is he so? For the sake of meeting Zahwa and carrying out his plan to express love to the girl.

"Zay? What was? How early in the morning have you come here? Why are you so tired of that?" rey asked me to see her cousin's sister who looked uneasy like usual.

"Sister..can you help me?"

"What's Zayn helping you with?"

Zayn took a deep breath then exhaled violently. "Sister...Zahwa is gone, he said Zahwa fell into the abyss."

Rey was immediately shocked upon hearing Zayn's words. "Zayn, don't you joke around early in the morning?"

"Sister, I'm not lying! Just now the senior who was leading the camping trip to the mountain called me and he told me that Zahwa was missing from yesterday afternoon" Zayn said in an anxious voice.

"WHAT?!"

Shouted Rey who was so shocked to hear the news of Zahwa's disappearance. His heart throbbed pain. His eyes immediately widened looking at Zayn. "We call the cops.No, we call the SAR team, or we-" Rey is crazy, probably because of the effects of staying up late.

"Yes, we'll call the SAR team to find Zahwa. But we also have to first to see the situation there," Zayn suggested to his brother.

"Yes." Yeah."

Zahwa... You're okay, right?

Rey immediately asked her secretary to contact the SAR team and went to Gunung Kencana to find Zahwa. Rey and Zayn walk away from the office. They happened to cross paths with Bram downstairs.

"Rey, Zayn? Where are you guys going? Papa just wanted to meet you guys and talk about business." Bram asked his son and nephew.

"Pa, I'm the same Zayn wants to find Zahwa to the mountain of Kencana."

"Huh? Why are we looking for? Isn't he camping there?"

"Om, Zahwa is missing and he said he fell off a cliff. From yesterday afternoon has not been found" Zayn explained.

"Astagfirullahaladzim! Then we'll have to tell the others."

"Om, please don't tell mama first. I'm afraid you're worried." Zayn asked her to keep this a secret from Amayra.

"Oh yes, you are right too.if that papa will send his men om Bima to help the search." Bram.

"Tell me." replied Zayn with his face bowed lethargic at the thought of his twin.

Then Zayn and Rey went to the Bogor area, where Zahwa camped. Zayn drives his car, because Rey is out of focus and looks very agitated. Zayn can see that Rey's love may be greater for Zahwa than Zayn's own sister's love for Zahwa.

The drops of water from the leaves of money soaked the beautiful face behind the mud dirt, making his closed eyes now wide open. He saw a light that was starting to shine brightly. "A...where am I?" zahwa's voice raucous, his eyes staring around. He was leaning against a large rock, his hand still holding Rey's bracelet.

The girl was holding her pained temple. He saw there was blood there. "Oh yeah I remember, I fell off a cliff to pick up a bracelet. Then am I still alive?" muttered Zahwa silly.

He saw the distance of the cliff and the ground where he stood very high. Tens of meters, approximately. Then why is he still alive? Maybe this is God's destiny.

"Ugh.I have to get out of here," the girl muttered while trying to stand up, but she fell back down. "ah! Like my leg was sprained, my other hand hurt a lot." Zahwa felt his right hand in pain as it moved.

His body collapsed again, wet, dirty and muddy. "Astagfirullah. Yes, I'm still alive it's actually been a miracle.from such a high abyss, if I wasn't a wonder woman I would have died. Luckily I was able to climb up and had time to hold myself back, otherwise. Not in vain my climbing ability can be used as a form of self-defense." muttered Zahwa silly with a smile.

When Zahwa fell off a cliff, he held on to a few branches, hung on a tree, fell several times until he finally fell to the bottom because he did not find a support again.

"Thank God the bracelet is safe, even if it is dirty." said Zahwa while holding the bracelet from Rey.

With his strength left and a bloody head, Zahwa tried to stand up and walk towards the light more, away from the gloomy abyss so that people could find it easier. "Oh Allah, strengthen me. I should be able to get out of here before afternoon, I should be able to..."

Zahwa was trying to leave that gloomy abyss. Several times he fell. "Oh my God, please.Give me strength. Otherwise, please send someone to me to come here to help me.." The girl had almost given up because she had trouble walking. He prayed with hope.

Finally he found a banana tree, he immediately ate the banana to fill the energy.

*****

Reyndra pulled the collar of Word's shirt, his eyes staring emotionally at the camp leader. "Sister! Patience brother!" yell Zayn to Rey.

"If anything happens to Zahwa, I demand you!" rey's emphatic emotions.

"Pardon me!" Word lowered his head.

"I'm sorry? Just sorry? You should, as the leader of mountaineering, know what happens to its members? Why don't you even know what happened to your own members?!" reyndra's voice sounded so jarring, it made everyone who heard it shudder in horror. Until no one dared to speak.

Even Zayn had never seen his cousin's sister's side like this, because Reyndra was famous for her gentle nature. It's not that hot-tempered and emotional Rey is, is Rey emotional because of Zahwa?

"So calm brother! Instead of getting angry like this, mending we look for Zahwa..." Zayn held Rey's hand, calming the man with emotion.

"Haaahh." yeah." Rey untangled her tight grip on the Word, trying to calm herself down.

Allah calm my heart, O Allah may Nemo be well.

The SAR team, Bima, Rey, Zayn's men and all the men who camped out were looking for Zahwa around the last time Zahwa's trail was seen.

Rey and Zayn go limp when they see the precipitous abyss, if Zahwa really falls there then maybe-

They both removed all the bad thoughts from themselves. Trying to think Zahwa is okay. They continued to search for Zahwa's whereabouts, until they found a way to descend into the abyss.

*****

Meanwhile in the tent camp, Vera and Tiara were seen talking together in whispers. "Where is Ra, what if Zahwa is all right?" Vera bit her lower lip. He's really fretting.

"That can't happen, Ver."

"You're also worried, aren't you, Ra? What if Zahwa really fell into the abyss, it is a deep abyss...if he died how dong? That means we're the-"

Tiara approached and silenced Vera's mouth with her hand. "Sst! Ver you calm dong, don't fidget like gini! Even if Zahwa is okay, it's not our fault either."

"But if we don't take the bracelet, and we make him take the bracelet on the edge of the cliff! If he's not there for sure" Vera stutters feeling guilty. He did not know that Zahwa's situation would be this fatal because he was just ignorant.

"Oh, so it's you!" knock someone who's in front of the tent.
