Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 63. FB status and move on

...🍁🍁🍁...

Zahwa was relaxing eating a snack and sitting while watching his favorite drakor, but he felt bored and finally he took his phone.

Zahwa's pretty hands are scrolling her FB social media. But a few seconds later he saw a status that made both eyes widen.

"ASTAGFIRULLAHALADZYME!"

"What the fuck? Why does Rey make this status?" Zahwa wonders why her sister made a status tagging herself with a picture of Zahwa's ring given by Rey there. The ring with a floral motif with a white jewel in the middle, which was purchased at one of the jewelry stores in a large mall when Zahwa was about to leave for the camp.

The status was written short caption like Rey, people who do not like poetry or talk at length.

...You mine....

Although not using the real name Reyndra, but Zahwa know the account name FB 15-door refrigerator is the nickname given to Rey.

"Sir Rey what the hell? Why does he make this? Since when did he have FB? He doesn't like to play social media" Zahwa said.

Then Zahwa also saw the wall FB Rey, he only saw there are photos of ornamental fish Nemo, a cat named Doris and also the ring. The FB was also created a few hours ago. "Silver.." he said when he saw the picture of Nemo fish that read the caption.

..."My dear my Nemo, love you"...

..."Otw halal. I'm waiting for you with bismillah Kalimah Zahwa Jawharah"...

Zahwa's heart again thumped when he saw the writing, yes he knew the caption was intended for him. Nemo is Rey's favorite nickname for Zahwa.

Shortly after, he noticed a message coming to his phone. It is from her brother Zayn who informs her that all the families have agreed with Rey and Zahwa's relationship.

The girl smiled widely, she pranced happily. Not only that, he shouted his gratitude.

"Alhamdulillah O Allah! Thank goodness..."

There is nothing happy about Zahwa other than this news, the news where he and Rey will immediately take a step towards the halal path that Allah desires SWT. In order to avoid adultery, to channel the sincere love and desire of a human being. Uniting two heads aka two thoughts into one, bismilbornrahmanirrahim.

*****

When Zahwa was happy, another case with Raihan who had just finished teaching at his campus. He received a notification on his phone, initially indifferent to the notification from the FB. Indeed, he rarely plays social media and only focuses on work and pesantren. But his focus broke when he saw the message from Zainab.

...Mas Assalamualaikum, have you seen Zahwa's status? Thank God, Zahwa has finally moved on from you....

Raihan's eyes widened to see the contents of the message from his wife who felt ambiguous. What did Zainab mean to send her that message?

Raihan only read without replying, honestly since the incident Zainab slapped Zahwa. Raihan was increasingly unsympathetic to his wife, even though she did so like a king. Zainab is soft, but her vices make Raihan ilfeel. And about love? Do not ask again, because Raihan has not had such feelings for his wife at all, until now. His heart still pegged the love of the former, who failed to marry him.

Raihan chose to ignore the message and focus on his computer, now he is in his room checking the results of the student exam.

Ting!

The ringing sound of the message sign re-entered his phone. Raihan's eyes turned on his phone, he looked at the contents of the message without opening it but the message he read.

...Mas, let's see the status of FB Zahwa....

Now Raihan can not help his curiosity anymore about the status of Facebook Zahwa, which even had a notification. Could something have happened to Zahwa? What does Zainab mean by move on?

After unlocking his phone with a finger print, Raihan's hand opens the FB app on his phone. Then he opened the Zahwa status notification, while the other notification he ignored.

"Zahwa's turn only makes status about dental health or Quranic verses." Raihan thought while muttering to himself.

Raihan's mind was clearly completely wrong, not that status in question, but another status. A man tagged Zahwa with photos and captions that made his jaw harden. The status is clearly heading towards the wedding, let alone the ring.

"Astagfirullah. There is no way within 1 month you can move on from me Zahwa, surely this is just your wits to make me jealous right? Zahwa...why do you want me to be angry and jealous?" muttered Raihan confidently that Zahwa made the status himself to make him jealous and hot. "It turns out you still really hope for me, Zahwa, well.because I still love you too."

With an unsettled and questioning heart, Raihan finally left his room after finishing half of his work.

He went to Zahwa's house carrying a flower of the girl's favorite purple rose. Really Raihan is really a shameless and very confident man. Arriving at Zahwa's house, he immediately rang the doorbell with a purple rose in his hand.

When the bell rang, the door of Zahwa's house opened. Zahwa opened it because he was the only one in the house.

"Assynolt,"

"Wa-waalaikum greetings?"

Why is Raihan here?

"You came alone, ma'am?" zahwa asked, looking behind Raihan and there was no one there. Only his motorbike was parked in front of the gate of his house.

"Yes Zahwa, I want to talk to you."

"Sorry, I can't!"

It's too bad that Zahwa actually served her ex-husband, but she does not want Raihan to continue to bother her. "What do you want to say? You want me to hit your wife again?" zahwa asked rhetorically with sharp eyes.

"I'm sorry Zainab, Zahwa, I've rebuked her."

Brak!!

Zahwa closed the door to his house hard. His face looked coldly welcoming to the man, very unfriendly.

"The words of mas! I'm going out!" exclaiming Zahwa who was already preparing to go out of his house. She already wears a satin black hijab suit, white blouse, black toad pants and black and white sneakers aligning with the color of her shirt. Don't forget he's holding his little carry-on bag on his back.

"Zahwa, I want to apologize to you for Zainab's behavior at the time. Then I want to remind you not to make such a status,"

Zahwa immediately turned to look at Raihan and settled down with a frown. "What do you mean?"

"You created a status on FB with a fake account right? That says as if you're getting married soon."

"WHAT?" The girl glared sharply at Raihan who to her was already so shameless.

"I know that you have trouble moving on from me, but don't let you create a status that can cause rumors that is very bad."

"Huh? Are you accusing me of creating that status with an account I created myself? ASTAGFIRULLAHALADZYME..." Zahwa stroked his chest to hear Raihan's words as if he was advising him, but the advice was not correct.

Who hasn't moved on? Is he or Raihan? Zahwa is completely inexhaustible with Raihan. It felt that what was left might have been all out for the man since his heart had also been for Rey.

"I'm not accusing, you did, right? You haven't moved on from me yet, we still have the same feeling" Raihan said as he gave flowers to Zahwa, but Zahwa brushed him off.

Eyes so cynical looking at Raihan. "You're very confident, aren't you, Mom? Who hasn't moved on? Ah....You or I haven't moved on yet?"

"We haven't moved on yet" Raihan replied so easily.

"Hahahaa.mas Raihan you are very funny, it seems you have to take medicine to be aware of your genitals is mas." Zahwa laughed with Raihan's attitude towards her.

He felt grateful in his heart for not marrying this man. A man who is a coward and cannot even be called a man. Not wanting to fight, obey all parents' orders obediently, he said love but did not want to try. You idiot!

"Zahwa! Why are you so rude?"

"Mas, I'm actually very lazy to explain all this. But I guess I should know,"

"What?"

"I'm getting married, Mom,"

"YOU LIED!" shouted Raihan emotion, shouting Raihan even to be heard by the Mamat man who was guarding at the guard post of the house.

Mang Mamat saw Zahwa and Raihan, about to approach Zahwa and Raihan out of anxiety. But Zahwa hinted with eyes to let the Mamat man remain silent in his place.

"I did want to get married and the FB account was not my fake account, but I'm my future husband."

"You lied to Zahwa? This is one way you make me jealous, right? If you want us to be together again, it's better that you be my second wife! I promise to treat you well even if your position is as a second wife, or if you want - I can divorce Zainab at any time."

"Istighfar mas, again you say the word love to your wife. Remember mas! You have promised before God in the sacred bond of marriage, please do not consider marriage to be playful. Ray's more about religion and marriage than I am."

"Yes, I know marriage and religion well, but I really can't control Zahwa's heart, I love you and I still do"

"But I'm not Mas, I've moved on and I hope we can live each of our lives of course with our partner. I pray that you can establish a household with brother Zainab, I pray that love will soon be present between the two of you because I also want to be happy Mas."

Slowly visible crystal grains fell down the cheeks of Raihan.Rasanya he could not hear everything said by Zahwa about his marriage. If he continued to beg, he would be considered coercive. But now his behavior is shameless because the heart moves first than his logic. "Zahwa..Then who is that man? Are you really getting married? Is that why you forgot me?"

"That man is the man who is always there for me when I am sad, when other men disappoint me and he comes to comfort me. He has come into my life long enough and he is a man who dares to fight for our love. Unlike someone, who chose to run away when everyone asked him to leave." Zahwa spilled all the laws in his heart to Raihan that he had kept all this time. So that Raihan knows how much his heart was hurt at that time.

Raihan's heart was broken, as soon as Zahwa said the words that made his heart hurt. Words that insinuate him in the past. It was he who left Zahwa first, obeying the parents' order to annul the marriage, not enough there. Raihan is also married to Zahwa's best friend and disappoints him many times. He realizes he's the one who hurt Zahwa but he's also the one who got hurt by it.

If time could be repeated, maybe he would choose Zahwa and try to fight for his love. But baby, all that golden time has passed. Raihan has completely lost Zahwa, lost his position in Zahwa's heart and he must be willing to be replaced.

The status of FB has made Raihan heartbroken, as well as the words of Zahwa.

"Well if you've moved on, but I want to see your future husband...Zahwa's. I want to talk to him." said Raihan Parau.

"Later Raihan also know who the person is, because Raihan mas also know him."

"Who is Zahwa?" raihan asked, holding Zahwa's hand.

Shortly afterwards, a car horn was heard and a car was parked in Zahwa's yard. The horn made Zahwa and Raihan surprised, Zahwa immediately moved away from Raihan and greeted the man who had just gotten out of the car.
