Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 54. At last...

...🌹🌹🌹...

That morning, as Zainab used to prepare food for her husband, providing her with ironed clothes, she always did her duty as a wife very well. However, everything Zainab does cannot make Raihan fall in love with her. The shadow of the former makes Raihan unable or unable to give his heart to Zainab.

But never once did Raihan neglect his duties as a husband, he always gave birth and inner living to his wife. But last night Raihan really could not control his emotions, until the word talak almost spoken from his lips. In Raihan's heart continued to say Istighfar, the words could appear in his heart.

When he saw Zainab and their marriage, Raihan always remembered his brother Alm and Burhan's ustad who had left his youngest daughter to Raihan. Zainab is a mandate, she should not hurt that trust and take care of it. Raihan thought that after marrying Zainab, he would forget Zahwa but in fact he was just an ordinary man who was greedy for love. He also wanted to have Zahwa.

The cold war returned between them because of last night. When everyone gathered at the dining table for breakfast together, the atmosphere also looked cold.

"Are you fighting again?" anisa asked, glancing at Zainab and Raihan who did not speak that morning.

"For Zahwa again?" salimah said that makes the atmosphere even hotter. Raihan did not budge, but Zainab answered because she was very disturbed by the question from her husband's mother and sister.

"We didn't fight, especially because of Zahwa" Zainab replied, sipping water in a glass.

No more questions from Anisa or Salimah to Zainab, they chose silence because Raihan's household affairs should not be meddled by other parties.

After breakfast together, Zainab drove her husband to the front of the house. Along with Salimah who will go to work to the office. Salimah felt that her brother's relationship was very bad, there was not even an interaction between the two.

"Sister-in-law, you should be better.I give advice yes brother, you have to be a little sneaky and play pretty to get what you want." salimah whispered to Zainab before leaving the house.

Zainab was speechless, she let out a heavy sigh and thought a little. Can she get her husband's heart? Was his attitude towards Zahwa wrong?

*****

That morning it was also in the Calabrian family mansion. In the kitchen seemed excited by the arrival of Cleo who made breakfast for everyone, but Zahwa was the one who would do that because every stay, he always cooked for everyone.

"I'm sorry Zahwa, this time I'm cooking."

"Nothing sister," Zahwa replied with a wry smile. In his heart he felt arrogant, there was a sense of wanting to ask Cleo about her relationship and Reyndra.

Why am I so curious about Cleo and Rey's relationship? I'm why the hell? It's not good that Rey's sister has a partner, after all I don't love Rey. I don't love!

"Zahwa, why are you daydreaming?"

"It's okay, brother."

"Rey said you're a cheerful and cuddly person, but how do I see you're as quiet now?" cleo asked as he brought the fried rice breakfast onto the plate. Zahwa helped her prepare a drink.

"Did Rey say that?"

"Yes, he always told me about his beloved sister, you." Cleo reviewed a knotty smile.

Cleo keeps talking about her relationship and Rey, though Zahwa doesn't ask her. For some reason it was like something was burning in his heart.

Especially when he saw Rey walking along with Cleo, Zahwa was not happy with their togetherness. He became more reserved and did not talk much like before.

Zahwa thought Rey was saying love and kissed her just to play with her heart.

🍁🍁🍁

One day after the graduation hearing, all the Calabrian family were present to celebrate at a fancy restaurant while having lunch together. Rey was not seen there. Everyone congratulated him.

"Sir Rey..where?" asked Zahwa who did not see her brother there.

"Zahwa, forgive Rey yes.Today Rey the same Cleo again met her parents Cleo." explained Diana who made Zahwa's heart again as in hit by heavy objects.

"Oh.iya Aunty is okay." Zahwa clenched his hands tightly.

Has sister's relationship gone this far with Cleo? So Brother is just playing me. But why am I like this? Why am I angry.Why am I Cem-bu-ru?

"Yes, he said he wanted to talk about marriage" Selina said. "Oh yes brother Rey said she wanted to go to the same house with Cleo after brother Rey talked to sister Cleo's parents."

"Alhamdulillah yes if so," said Amayra while smiling happily because Rey had found her soul mate.

I can't go here, I have to see Rey! I need to talk to him now.

Selina smiled looking at the look on her cousin's upset and confused face at the moment. He believes his goal is getting faster.

"I go first yeah, you guys just eat quietly.sorry."

Zahwa suddenly left his extended family still sitting there and eating. He even forgot to bring his carry-on bag and left just like that.

"Zahwa! Where are you going?" Bram asked astonished to see Zahwa look hurried. But Zahwa disappeared from there.

Selina smiled and then took her phone, she sent a message.

Send~~to Brother money bag

The girl chuckled after sending a message to the older sister that she called a money bag.

****

Rey was in front of his house, actually he did not go with Cleo to his house and only did his sister's order to stay home alone. Upon receiving the message from Selina, she fell silent and frowned.

He just drove Cleo home in a taxi. Shortly after he entered the house in a confused state, a voice sounded behind him.

"Assalamualaikum brother!"

"Waalaikumsalam, Zahwa"

"So bad brother.hiks..."

"Why are you crying?" Rey frowned seeing Zahwa crying in front of her.

"Aren't you going to marry Cleo?"

"If I marry her, why. You rejected me too, right? You don't love me, so I'd better marry someone else" Rey said with a face, pretending not to care about Zahwa.

The girl sobbed, the more Rey couldn't bear to see her. But as Selina said she had to make Zahwa say it. And Rey hopes that Selina's conjecture isn't wrong.

"Why would you marry him? He said..sister love with me, then what's the sister's confession at that time?"

For some reason the question came out of his mouth, right now his heart was speaking. And his heart wanted to reveal something. Zahwa's question just makes Rey pound, is this the time?

"You're the one who told me we couldn't, so we better just forget each other, right?"

SELINA, just be careful if Zahwa is not like what you think.kakak will not love you extra pocket money. Rey has warned in her, if Selina is wrong then she does not want to give extra pocket money to him.

"So..wouldn't you forget me?" he said that is still sobbing.

"You're the one I want to forget you" Rey said firmly, though inwardly grimacing could not bear with the spilled tear.

"If... I want you not to forget me, can you still?"

"meaning?" Rey was flabbergasted by Zahwa's question, her heart pounding at the moment.

"I don't know how I feel about you, but I don't want you to marry someone else. I'm jealous." he said honestly.

"Tell Zahwa, you're jealous, right? So how do you feel about you, brother?" Slowly Rey approached the woman who was standing in a quiet central room because there was no one there but the two of them. Everyone is going out.

"I.a-I.." the girl lowered her head.

"Zahwa!" yelling Rey who can't wait to hear Zahwa's next words. His hand touched Zahwa's chin possessively, while looking at him rhetorically. "Snouts!"

"I love you, I love you!" Said the girl with a single breath.

The deg!

Really Rey did not expect, her heart seemed like it was going to explode right now. Like there are flowers blooming there, until a beautiful smile expands on his lips. Made both her dimples printed there.

"W-is this real? You-this means you accept brother?"

"Yes, I realized that I love my sister more than a sister loves her brother. So you can't marry Cleo, you take my first kiss, so you have to take responsibility." said Zahwa, staring at Rey with a look of love, a different look than usual.

At last...

Rey's wait ended with a satisfactory answer from Zahwa.

"I won't marry anyone else, I'll tell you that I just want to marry you. Brother love you, Zahwa.sister love." Rey clenched the girl's body gently and tightly. He was truly grateful to Allah SWT, that his prayers in the third night had been answered and fulfilled. Zahwa's heart has been opened to him and now lives the blessing of his parents.

Drifting away in the atmosphere, Zahwa and Rey are supposed to not be able to cuddle up before his muhrim. They hugged each other until they were unconscious with someone now standing in the doorway.

"You....what are you DOING?!"

Hearing that loud voice, Zahwa and Rey unraveled their arms, then saw who had come.
