Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 40. Thank goodness Tarzania

...🍀🍀🍀...

Vera and Tiara froze as soon as they saw who was talking in front of the tent. The figures of Zainab and Aini were already there, staring at them with sharp eyes.

"You guys are really bad!" zainab's grunts of emotion overheard Vera and Tiara's chatter by accident.

"So you're the culprit? Cepet says! What are you doing Zahwa?!" Aini pulled Tiara's hand with emotion.

"I-I don't do anything" replied Tiara stammering.

"Tiara, Vera, I'm the same Aini already horrified everything.You better be honest! What are you doing with Zahwa and where is Zahwa now?" asked Zainab firmly.

"We don't know where Zahwa is, we don't know." Vera answered honestly with a trembling body and sweat as big as corn kernels visible on her face.

Possible, how have you been found out?

"I've recorded all your confessions, just look.I'll report this!" zainab said while holding her phone.

"Sister Zainab.don't dong.don't report to us." said Tiara as she pleaded and clenched her hands. He looked terrified by the threat of Zainab.

"Well, where's Zahwa?" tanya Aini snapped.

"In fact, we don't know where Zahwa is.we just take Zahwa's bracelet, we keep the bracelet on the branch of the cliff deck tree, the rest we don't know what happened with Zahwa after that." obviously Tiara was honest, because that was all she did. He doesn't know about Zahwa falling down a cliff.

"What bracelet?" ask Zainab.

"I don't know, he said the bracelet was very important for Zahwa. Don't know what the bracelet is." replied Tiara.

"Yes, Aini, brother Zainab.we did not expect that it would happen like this. We just want to prank Zahwa, we're a prankster." said Vera defended himself.

"White? So you think this is all kidding?" Zainab still stared intently at the two women who were ignorant of her best friend.

"Son, this can't be ignored.they're too much, they've hurt Zahwa." Aini could not just shut up her best friend was harmed by the two women. Of course they should get the reward.

"We wait until Rey and Zayn come back, and we decide what to do!"

Rey? Zay? The two people looked terrifying to Tiara and Vera. Moreover, they saw Rey who was rampaging at the Word earlier. What happens if Rey finds out that Zahwa's disappearance is because of them?

"Why is your face so pale?" tanya Aini was astonished to see Tiara and Vera speechless with pale faces.

"Ja-don't report us..please..."

The two women pleaded with Zainab and Aini, but there was no point in them pleading. Zainab and Aini were already furious at the behavior of two women who had gone beyond this limit.

The sun that was once hot has now started to set. From morning until evening they had searched the mountain and around the ravine, but Zahwa had still not been found either.

The sound of lightning boomed, the sky began to cloud, a sign that it would rain again. It looks like the SAR team and some of Bima's men are getting tired, they haven't even eaten since morning.

"Better you all rest first, go back to camp and go eat!" rey's word to the SAR team members and Bima's 5-person team.

"Alright sir, we will continue the search after taking a short break and eating for a while. After all, it's going to be rainy and dark" the SAR team leader told Rey.

"Yes that's better." Rey smiled, her face looked pale, she was like a lot of thoughts. Last night he didn't sleep because of work and now he's looking for Zahwa without rest.

The SAR team and five of Bima's men went from there to go down the mountain and find a place to rest. But Rey is still there with Zayn.

"Sister, what's the big brother? Let's go too!" take Zayn, he was surprised to see Rey still like looking for something.

"You go, hurry up! Hunt them far away." Rey told her cousin's sister.

"Sister.ayo we go together. Brother hasn't rested all night, brother hasn't eaten either, right?" Zayn could not bear to see the pale face of his brother, tired and frustrated. I'm afraid the man can't think straight at times like this.

"Where can I rest Zayn, if Nemo has not met yet.I have to meet Nemo first." said Rey with eyes dim, showing tired.

"But sister.kak can not faint if kayak gini continue! We need to rest, brother, please..."

"Son Zayn, you can't." said Rey refused. "Zahwa needs to see you first, then I can calm down."

Zayn was silent for a moment, he smiled when he saw Rey struggle to find his sister. He thinks Rey really loves Zahwa and not just his words. The love was very deep, perhaps exceeding his love as a brother to Zahwa.

"Sister.I'm the blessing of Zahwa's sister, I support my brother-in-law." Zayn suddenly said those words to Rey.

Rey smiled. "Why? Are you moved by me now?"

"More than touched brother, because the love of the same brother Zahwa may be greater than the love I have with Zahwa." said Zayn with a smile.

"You finally realized it, I told you I was serious. From the leak I had a crush on Zahwa,"

"I believe it now" Zayn replied with a smile. "Yes, let's find Zahwa together. But when it gets dark, we have to stop."

"Thank you Zayn,"

"I can't lose to my sister, let alone my own twin sister." Zayn.

Zahwa, I'm sure Rey can make you happy because she loves you. But you...if you know how Rey feels later, will you accept it?

The two of them also did a search for Zahwa alone around the lips of the ravine. Then shortly thereafter, Zayn found a droplet of blood in the leaves. "Sister! Look at this, there's blood!"

Rey turned to Zayn and saw a drop of blood on the leaves. "The blood is still wet, is Zahwa hurt?" muttered Rey who was starting to be hit by a new anxiety.

"Eh brother! What'sthis?" point Zayn at the drops of blood underground.

"We follow these tracks!" rey said firmly.

Zayn nodded, then the two men followed a trail of blood believed to be a trace of Zahwa's whereabouts.

...*****...

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Zahwa is no longer on the brink of the ravine. He was already by the river, not by walking but sucked there because he had difficulty walking. "Alhamdulillah.I can drink, I can eat even if I am still hungry, but the important thing is I am still alive haha.indeed I am great! Of course it was because of God's blessing as well" Zahwa laughed happily as soon as he found the source of the water that saved his life.

"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim..." Zahwa took the river water with his hand and sipped it slowly. "Alhamdulillah."

"But why haven't people found me yet? Are they having trouble? How about mom, brother Zayn, brother Rey and others? Did they know I fell into the abyss? Are they worried about me?" Zahwa looked at the dark sky again, just as it was far away from the cliff. It means he's been stuck under the ravine for more than 24 hours.

"Hiss.. I'm sick, I'm hungry, I want fried chicken, I want a spicy seblak..." Zahwa shouted from hunger and pain in his body. The defense of his body started to weaken, he was already getting paler especially after losing a lot of blood.

"Snouts!"

Zahwa looked back and forth when he heard a familiar voice calling his name distinctively. Nemo, that's the man's only call to her. "Ah? Is that brother's voice? I'm still dreaming.where might my brother be here. Come on Zahwa, realize, don't let this forest drive you crazy."

"Nemo! Where's you!"

The girl was again flabbergasted to hear her brother's voice a second time. "Sister...BROTHER!" zahwa shouted trying to lure Rey's voice. "The truth is, brother, right? Not a genie who resembles a big brother?" mumbling slowly.

Rey's voice could not be heard again, until a warm embrace clutched her body. Zahwa smelled a familiar smell from the body of the man who was hugging her. "Sister..this is really brother? Not the genie"

"Thank God, you're alive" Rey said, smiling as she hugged Zahwa's body tightly.

"Am I dreaming?" muttered Zahwa puzzled, still feeling that meeting Rey was a dream.

Not knowing what possessed Rey, she kissed the forehead, the two eyelids of Zahwa, the nose and then the cheeks of Zahwa affectionately. "I can't imagine if something happens to you, wa. My heart might be able to stop then and there."

Rey broke her arms, she cried to see Zahwa. Her hand touched Zahwa's head that was upside down. "Sister.." - Zahwa.

"Yes it's me. You'll be fine, calm down." said Rey relieved, seeing the woman he loved survived. It was as if his whole life had returned. He's very grateful

.

"Huahhhh.sister!! Hiks..huahh..." Zahwa hugged his brother again, he was sobbing in Reyndra's arms.

This is my brother's truth, thank God.you sent my angel of help.

"Why? Is anyone sick?" Rey broke her embrace, then one hand gently wiped Zahwa's tears.

"I'm sorry brother.sorry I'm huhu..." Zahwa.

"Why?" ask Rey again.

"I'm sorry sis, her bracelet.hiks.."

"What bracelet?"

"Bracelet from brother broke up.I accidentally.hiks." Zahwa shows Rey's bracelet that is now no longer intact. Rey wanted to laugh to see Zahwa crying over the bracelet, but the bracelet was no problem. For him Zahwa's safety is more important. Rey held back her laughter as Zahwa looked to be crying seriously.

"That's okay, just a bracelet. I'll buy it again, now we go home!" take Rey to Zahwa.

The bracelet can break, but not with my feelings Zahwa. I will always love you. Rey is monologuing herself.

"But the bracelet is expensive brother." whine Zahwa to Rey.

Rey patted Zahwa on the head, smiling at the girl's demeanor that still looked adorable to her at all times. Something made him angry.

Shortly thereafter, Zayn is seen running towards the two of them. He hugged his sister anxiously. "Zahwa, are you okay? Oh God..." Zayn rubbed the dried blood on Zahwa's forehead, he looked at his twin brother anxiously.

O Allah, thank you for reuniting me with my sister, Zayn said gratefully in his heart.

"I'm fine, but the bracelet..the bar broke..hiks..."

Zayn glanced at Rey, asking what the bracelet meant. Rey smiled at him. Then Zahwa ends up in Rey's arms because she has trouble walking.

"Sister, let me carry Zahwa!" tawar Zayn, look at Rey who looks tired.

"It's okay Zayn,"

"All of a sudden I was so cool a long time ago, when I was kidnapped and Rey's brother carried me like this too."

"Yes, right. When you were kidnapped by that lunatic," Zayn said, recalling past events. When Zahwa was about 5 years old, he was kidnapped.

(The part of Zahwa in this kidnap is in the holy love novel Amayra, for those who want to know)

"Yes and then Rey's sister was also Zayn's sister. Seneng deh I have a brother who loves me," Zahwa smiled happily because he had two brothers who love him.

Rey and Zayn smiled, saying nothing. "Oh yeah by the way you're really great to still be able to survive! You must be having trouble here, right? You must be hungry, thirsty and in pain." Rey asked suddenly.

"Hehe I'm great, brother, I'm hungry, thirsty and sick. But I can find my own food, I eat banana trees, I eat mangoes, I drink water in the river. So I'm still alive! Hehe." clearly Zahwa was proud of him.

"But brother Rey, don't ask again. Tarzania is indeed the place in the forest" Zayn chuckled at the story of how his sister survived.

"WHAT? Tarzania?" zahwa's weak voice was now slightly raised. "Sir Rey, look at Zayn's brother.he mocked me." he told Rey. Indeed, from childhood until now, if Zahwa always quarrel with Zayn, surely the girl will ask for protection from her cousin. Because only he has always defended her.

"Zayn.ah ah." Rey chuckles.

"Thank God Tarzania is safe, she's a great tarzania!" Zayn gave his thumbs up and blinked one eye at Zahwa ignorantly.

"Ish..so bad brother is his own sister!" zahwa is upset.

Rey and Zayn are happy because Zahwa can still smile cheerfully even though he is sick. They know Zahwa is a strong woman and not whiny like most women.

They walked around the ravine, for it was the only safe way to go up. This time Zayn replaced who carried Zahwa first because Rey would secure the road ahead of her fear of slippery.

"It's safe, let me get you guys." Rey holds Zayn's hand holding Zahwa.

They made it out of there and headed to the camp, there was also a medical team brought there by the SAR team. Just as he was on his way to the camp, Zayn felt Zahwa's body trembling and cold.

"Wa...kamu why?" zayn asked his sister, she felt something was wrong.

"Why Zayn?" lyrics Rey to Zayn.

"Body Zahwa is shaking!" exciting Zayn.

Rey sees Zahwa unconscious in Zayn's arms. The two men grew anxious to see Zahwa's sudden condition.

"Mo's..Nemo.." said Rey while holding both cheeks Zahwa that feels cold. His white skin turned blue. "Zayn let's take it to camp! Hurry along!" rey shouted, then she carried Zahwa into her cradle.
