Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 58. My future wife, Zahwa

...🍁🍁🍁...

After praying Isha and taking Aini to her boarding house, Amayra, Zayn and Zahwa left for the Calabrian family home. Zahwa looked tense, he didn't know what was going on there and why everyone was called there, especially him.

Does this have anything to do with Rey and her? God, I hope it's not a bad thing. Zahwa did not want to suudzan first, but his heart was anxious, given what happened last afternoon at the Calabrian family mansion, about Diana's problems.

"Zahwa!"

"Ehh.i-iya ma." said Zahwa with a tense face.

"You why? You look worried?" feeling a mother is not wrong, she is sure that there is someone wrong with Zahwa. Zahwa looked tense, there must be something.

"It's okay, Ma."

Zayn, who was driving, saw Zahwa from a small glass in front of the car. He looked like he knew what had happened to Zahwa.

After that everything was quiet, although Amayra wondered what happened to Zahwa and Zayn who looked tense like there was something wrong with this situation. Butwhat? Amayra doesn't know either. Maybe at Calabria's house he'll find the answer.

Arriving at the Calabrian family mansion, Amayra and her two children said hello, then entered the house. In the living room they saw the whole family gathering. There were even Bima, Fania, Ken and Anna but not with their children.

Their faces all looked tense, even as Amayra and her two children entered the house. The tension grew, plus a sharp eye to Rey.

Zahwa was pounding with what was going to happen there, let alone the look of Diana's eyes looking so sharp at him. Not as friendly as usual

"I'm sorry to call you these nights, but she said there was something Rey wanted to tell everyone" Bram told Amayra and her two children.

Surely Rey will tell you about her marriage and Cleo. Inner Bram.

The three of them sat on a long sofa in front of the sofa where Bram, Bima and Rey sat.

Rey took a heavy breath, then she started to open her mouth. "Mom, papa, Oma, om and Auntie are all.Sorry Rey called you all here. Rey wants to say something."

The man looked at Zahwa who was sitting opposite him. He looked at Zahwa deeply, then smiled faintly. Everyone became curious about what Rey would say, of course this is very important until everyone was asked to come there. All his extended family.

Zahwa, we have to take risks and every possibility.

Brother, what will you do?. Zahwa looked tense, he had no idea what Rey was going to do.

Rey walked up to Zahwa in front of him, Diana immediately shouted. "Rey! Nay! Stop this!"

"Darling, what the hell are you doing?" bram asked in surprise to see his wife suddenly yelling angrily at Rey. Not only was Bram astonished, but everyone there was also wondering what was up with Rey and Diana.

"Reyndra Aqmar Calabria!" diana shouted as she stood up from her seat.

The man did not listen to Diana, he kept walking closer towards Amayra. Then stand in front of the tant. Amayra looked at him in wonder.

"I want to tell all of you that I'm getting married and I want to ask everyone for their blessing" Rey said, glancing at her family one by one.

"Woaw.that's great news Rey! Who's your candidate?" asked Anna excitedly to hear the good news.

"We will definitely love blessing, even this is good news." said Bima with a smile.

"As for Bima, thank you Anna, I really need your blessing. As for the woman I want to marry, you already know her well."

Zahwa's heart was racing faster, as Rey said that while looking at him. His hands trembled, suddenly sweat soaked his face.

"My future wife is-"

"Rey! No!!" diana shouted again.

Rey pulls Zahwa's hand, so the girl gets out of her seat and is in her arms. "Sister.." shouts Zahwa as he looks at his brother grimly, honestly he is very scared.

"My future wife Zahwa, I'll marry her."

Everyone there immediately moved from their seats, they were really shocked by what Rey said. Obviously the man's words were not a joke, let alone Rey looking so intimate with Zahwa, his gaze full of love.

"W-what did you say Rey? You're gonna marry Cleo, why be Zahwa?" Nilam spoke first before everyone spoke. He seems shocked.

"Rey... What are you really talking about?" Ken comes along because he is confused by Rey's ambiguous remarks. Did Rey love Zahwa? The girl who lived like her sister.

"I'm sorry Rey, Oma, papa, everyone....Rey never intended to marry Cleo. We're just pretending that the woman Rey loves is Zahwa" Rey said, holding Zahwa's hand tightly and courageously.

Amayra pulls Zahwa's hand from Rey but Rey holds it tight. "Let go of Rey's hand! Get your hands off Zahwa!"

"Sorry Aunt Rey can't let go of Zahwa. Please Auntie's permission, so we can get married-"

Brugh!

Bram slapped Rey in the face until she fell to the floor. His hands and Zahwa were released.

"Om.om don't..." Zahwa could not bear to see a drop of blood on the corner of Rey's lips. Amayra restrains her son's body, she doesn't want Zahwa to be close to Rey.

"Zahwa, this can't be.you can't have that feeling for your sister!"

"Mama.but brother Rey..."

"Speak what are you Reyndra Aqmar Calabria!!" snapped Bram emotionally, he pulled Rey's collar until the man was lifted up.

Rey looked at her father fearlessly. "Pa...Rey is in love with Zahwa, please give me a blessing"

Bugh!

Once again a raw bogem landed on Rey's face, then it was wrung out of Bram's hands. Bram never hit Rey and this was the first time. To Bram, Rey is a kind and obedient child. He is intelligent and has always been the pride of all Calabrian families. Rey never had many requests, nor did she ever ask for anything. But this time he asked his parents for something.

"Rey please pa....Rey asks Zahwa to be Rey's wife, Rey please.." pinta Rey softly and imploringly, wishing her father a meltdown.

"You can ask papa for anything but not by MARRYing your own cousin Rey! How could you have such feelings for Zahwa?!" bram yelled while beating Rey but Rey did not fight back.

Rey knew it would be like this.

Zahwa cried, she grimaced as she felt Rey's pain at this moment. But she could do nothing, Amayra and Diana held herself back, asking Zahwa to shut up and she was scared.

On the other hand, Nilam was holding his chest tight, his head was dizzy. Anna held his hand.

"Sister Bram stop! Sis!" Bima eventually intervenes and tries to stop Bram from beating Rey.

"Of..stop!" Ken and Zayn also stop Bram.

"Deliver! Let me teach this kid a lesson! How could he have such feelings for his own cousin! How dirty!" Bram squealed, in his eyes there was a great disappointment.

"Pa, I'm the same Zahwa is not a cousin.I also have no blood relation with this family!"

"What did you say?" Bram glared at Rey's words. "YOU!" Bram was about to kick Rey with his foot, but Zahwa came in front of him so Bram wouldn't do that.

"Of...Zahwa please, don't beat Rey again!" Shouted Zahwa while sobbing.

"Zahwa, move! Let brother finish this" Rey told Zahwa.

"Where might I let you get sick and struggle alone, brother, the relationship is established by two people instead of yourself" explained Zahwa as he looked at the man with dewy eyes, even some of her tears had already been shed.

Rey looked at Zahwa with amazement, it turned out that his struggle had not been in vain to make Zahwa melt. His love is expensive.

Bram and Amayra were getting angrier seeing the two men close together. Amayra quickly pulls Zahwa's hand away from Rey.

"Mama.please, not only Rey's sister who loves me but I also love Rey!" Zahwa.

"Enough ZAHWA!"

Plakkkp!

This time Zahwa was slapped by his mother.

The situation becomes tense, all the parents seem to not accept Rey and Zahwa's relationship. The situation was getting tense, when Nilam suddenly fell unconscious.

Brugh!

"Oma!! Ohma!!" anna shouted in panic while hugging her already unconscious oman.

Everyone rushed to Nilam in panic and anxiety.
