Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 60. Patience in a moment

...🍁🍁🍁...

Rey's words certainly got everyone against her. Bram, Amayra and Diana are heartbroken by the words of Rey who wants to break the family relationship, by crossing her name in the family card for the sake of marrying Zahwa.

"Your team Rey! You'd rather cut off family ties, than listen to our ban?" Hardik Bram to Rey, again with his voice rising with disappointment.

"I'm sorry Rey, pa, ma, Aunt Amayra, everyone....Rey-"

Bram always cuts Rey's words. "Listen to dad Rey! From tomorrow you will go to Singapore and take care of the company that is there! And for you Zahwa, Om will find someone for you."

Everyone who heard the dictator Bram's decision. Of course this decision has also been approved by Amayra and of course Zahwa and Rey compact reject the decision of the parents.

"Pa! Can't you, papa want to keep Rey away from Zahwa?" Rey looked at her papa with a sharp and annoyed netra.

"Om.mama, aunt, I don't want to be betrothed.please don't be like this. Don't send Rey's sister away, too, I don't want to." Zahwa also rejected the decision unequivocally.

"This is our decision, you don't argue! Don't be a bad boy!" Amayra urged her will and did not want to be denied.

Sorry mama, Zahwa.mama can't see you're the same Rey. Rey is like a mother's own son.

"I don't want to split with Rey" said Zahwa reluctant to accept the decision of his mother and all Calabrian families. He's just about to start with Rey, it's impossible to just break up.

"Zahwa, if you love your mother.please nurakan mama, this is also for your good. You can marry another man, as long as it's not Rey!"

The debate there never ends as well, the two stubborn parents, the wishes of young people aka Zahwa and Rey who have just been drunk with romance, make them not want to give up.

Finally Zayn and Selina spoke up, to help their two brothers explain to the parents. Zayn and Selina try to explain to the parents that Zahwa and Rey's relationship is not simple, they love each other.

"If the reason om, Aunt and mama do not agree with the relationship of Rey and Zahwa for fear of their relationship run aground and damage the family relationship. Zayn make sure that doesn't happen."

"Yes, mama, papa, and everything...Selina also agreed with what Zayn's sister said. Selina is convinced that Rey's sister Zahwa won't break up, they'll be together forever because they love each other."

Selina spoke not for the extra money, but it was purely to help the couple unite. And Selina can sense that Rey and Zahwa's feelings are strong, especially Rey's. A man who is loyal and never glances at another woman other than Zahwa. Yes, although had several times associated with women, but not serious and not over the limit.

"Why are you sure of that? Rey and Zahwa's feelings may not be as long as corn, you can still break them" said Diana, who also strongly opposes Rey Zahwa's relationship.

"Rey's feelings for Zahwa are so deep, Mom won't know what it's like to love someone for 14 years and hold this feeling alone. If this is what you're worried about, you take it easy...Rey promised never to break up with Zahwa. Rey will only marry once in a lifetime and of course with Zahwa. Rey will make Zahwa happy and-"

Bram raised one hand, asking Rey to stop saying it."Enough's enough! Papa stays with papa's decision, you're out of the country and papa will find a mate for Zahwa."

Whatever Rey, Zahwa, and everyone else there said was only considered as an excuse and a joke by Bram. Zahwa could only cry sadly, he did not fight his parents let alone Bram who was like a substitute for his papa. Bima, Fania, Selina and Zayn were also unable to say anything more that Bram was stubborn.

Rey's face flushed red, she held back her emotions and couldn't stand any more of this.

Rey finally exploded. "Rey....Rey has to take responsibility for Zahwa! Rey has to marry Zahwa!"

Suddenly, Zahwa, Amayra and everyone else in there turned their eyes to Rey. They didn't think Rey would say that.

"Thanks? What do you mean Rey?" Bram pulled Rey's shirt roughly and looked at her so sharply.

This word of responsibility seems to cause misunderstanding for everyone. They start thinking no-no with Rey's words.

What responsibility does he mean? Has he done anything to Zahwa that requires him to take responsibility?

"We kissed you! Rey has also done-"

"Do WHAT?" Bram's hand was getting pulled Rey's shirt, his eyes were glaring like they were going out there.

"DON'T TELL ME YOU GUYS DID THAT!!" Shouted Amayra did not believe in her own words.

"No Ma, I'm the same brother Rey never did anything more than hugs and kisses." Zahwa spoke up and admitted what he and Rey had done.

"ASTAGFIRULLAHALADZIM! Have you really ever kissed? What kiss? Lips?" hardik Amayra to his daughter and Rey.

"I-iya Auntie.sorry Rey,"

Bram grunted furiously. "Astagfireullah! You've done ZINA!" it's Rey and Zahwa.

"I couldn't help but reward, whenever I was near Zahwa or far from him, I thought about it all the time and I couldn't bear to touch it." Rey looked at Zahwa, then she smiled as she calmed Zahwa. "So I beg you, instead of committing a continuous sin of adultery, let me marry Zahwa. Aunt Amayra, I know I've been like a Aunt's own son. Auntie, I ask permission from Auntie. Let me take responsibility for Zahwa."

Without them realizing there were two pairs of eyes peering in front of Rey's nursery. They were two women who did not wear the hijab.

"Crazy Zahwa, bad.." chirped Vera with a cynical smile.

"Jirr...didn't think he was the same as his own cousin already ML?" tiara's lips to Zahwa.

"It can be a gift, look at you Zahwa.we will repay your actions! This time you will be ruined!"

"Yes, we have to pay back because he has got our graduation suspended!" Tiara agrees with her best friend Vera, they agree that Zahwa will be destroyed.

They left the room with vengeful eyes and hearts shrouded in hatred for Zahwa, after recording an unfinished conversation.

Meanwhile in Rey's room, everyone became quiet with Rey's words. Amayra, Bram, Diana was stunned for a moment like she was thinking.

Zahwa and Rey have hugged, kissed, even imagined each other it is adulterous. What should parents do then?

Zina itself in Islam is a forbidden act and get a painful reply from Allah SWT. Often adultery has always been associated with intimate relationships performed by two women and a man who is not a muhrim.

But in fact, adultery is not only limited to these acts. However, adultery can also be referred to acts capable of arousing the lust of the opposite sex instead of the muhrim.

In fact, in the Qur'an it has been clearly mentioned that Allah SWT forbids His servant to avoid sexual lust against the opposite sex which is not his muhrim. In addition to bringing sin and a painful punishment from God, committing adultery can also cause various dangers to the threat of disease in the body if done continuously.

So, how exactly is zina in Islamic law to the kind that is often done by humans without realizing it?

Zina in Islam is divided into several types. Zina al-laman, zina muhsan, and zina ghairu muhsan. Zina Al-laman is a zina that is generally done by the five senses, second, there is zina muhsan, which is a type of adultery committed by those with the status of having committed to binding a promise in a marriage. Or in other words, this adultery is done by those who have married or married. This often happens and leads to infidelity until divorce. Third there is zina, the type of zina ghairu muhsan is an adultery committed by a woman or man with a marriage status that has not been legal or has never been married. This is often done by lovers or women and men who have sex before marriage.

Zahwa and Rey include doing zina ghairu muhsan, they are not legally married and have dared to cuddle and even kiss. And what is the punishment? In addition to getting a big sin and curse from Allah SWT, adultery in Islam will also get the punishment that is appropriate when in the world. The punishment is nothing but stoning or stoning to death. While in unmarried perpetrators, the perpetrators will get a whip law as much as 100 times until exiled in a certain period of time.

..."Adulterating woman and fornicating man, then every one of them will be wrought a hundred times, and let not your mercy on both prevent you from (running) the religion of God, if you believe in Allah and the Hereafter, and let (the execution) of their punishment be witnessed by a group of believers." (QS. An-nur: 2)....

After a long moment of contemplation, Amayra finally let out a heavy sigh and then began to speak in a serious tone. "Rey, Zahwa, are you really not up to that?"

"Astagfirullah.no Ma,"

"No aunt, nothing more...Zahwa is still a saint, Aunt. At that time I was khilaf." said Rey lirih.

"Sorry, Auntie needs time to think.Give Aunt time to decide everything, Brother Bram, sister Diana, sister Bima, sister Fania, sister Fania, would you agree with me-if Rey and Zahwa had better not meet first?" Amayra asks the opinion of all her family except Ken and Anna who are still waiting for Nilam in her room.

They all nodded their heads, agreeing with Amayra's words. Rey looks tense, what does all this mean? Did Amayra give her blessing? Or didn't?

Zahwa was the same, he could not guess the look on his mother's face at this time. Do you agree or not? But Zahwa thinks Tidka's mom was emotional.

"One Sunday, give Aunt time. If you break, Auntie will never let you see Zahwa again?" threaten Amayra to Rey.

"Okay Auntie, I'll wait for Auntie." Rey throws a smile at each other with Zahwa.

Bismillah.... Zahwa, I can't wait to ask you.

Sis, I can't wait to be with brother soon. Zahwa was hopeful in his heart.

Afterwards, Zahwa and Rey are forbidden to meet until the parents make a decision for them.
