Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 64. Heartbreak and Kasmaran

...🍁🍁🍁...

"Sister!" greet Zahwa to Rey with a big smile on her lips. Until that smile showed her cute teeth.

Rey smiled back and she walked over to Zahwa. But Rey isn't alone, she's with Selina too. Selina ran and hugged Zahwa so happily.

"Assalamualaikum brother-in-law! Hehe..." Selina chuckled happily while tightly hugging Zahwa.

"Waalaikumsalam Cells,"

Meanwhile, Raihan was stunned and wondered why Selina called him sister-in-law. Maybe he heard it wrong, he thought so.

"Assalamualaikum Zahwa, Raihan." Rey said greeting the two people wrongly. But Rey's eyes were so sharp on Raihan.

What's he doing here?

"Waalaikumsalam sis," replied Raihan and Zahwa simultaneously.

"Zahwa, our parents asked our brother to pick you up. he said there was something he wanted to talk about" Rey said without asking Raihan, taking the man's situation as if there were none.

"Yes, brother, come on! Sorry Raihan, I have to go with Rey and Selina" said Zahwa and expelled Raihan subtly.

"Yes Zahwa, but you haven't answered my last question! Who's the man who's gonna be your future husband?"

"Mas better not-"

"I," said Rey suddenly in a loud voice, he cut off Zahwa's unfinished words.

"What does Reyndra mean?" asked Raihan with an innocent face.

"Prospective husband Zahwa, it's ME."

Raihan gasped in shock at Reyndra's confession, but he didn't believe it just like that. She asks Rey who Zahwa's future husband is. And Rey still with the same answer, Zahwa's husband is herself.

"Sir Reyndra, please don't joke. Rey's sister is Zahwa's cousin, there's no way you guys have that feeling and are getting married."

"That's right, Rey's sister is getting married to Zahwa! Better Raihan step aside, go far and do not bother Zahwa again because Zahwa has moved on. Urusin aja the household brother and sister Zainab who nyebelin it!" Selina snickered at Raihan.

Since Zahwa's marriage failed and Zahwa often cried because of Raihan, Selina so disliked Raihan. Although the Raihan people said it was sholeh, good, but for Selina, the man was nothing more than a hurt that hurt Zahwa and not necessarily if a good person would also treat women well.

"Even after marriage, Raihan's brother still does not know the shame of brother Zahwa!" selina exclaimed with hateful speech. Selina is very dear to Zahwa because they are quite close compared to the other siblings. She was very sad because Zahwa was heartbroken because of Raihan first.

"Selina! You can't talk about it!" zahwa rebukes his cousin's sister.

"That's the truth, isn't it, brother?" Selina turned her face away from Raihan.

Raihan could not defend himself because he was wrong and what Selina said was true. "I'm sorry Zahwa, but you guys don't joke like this."

"Selina's not kidding, I'm SERIOUS too. I'm going to marry Zahwa." The man spoke with firm emphasis. If there was no Zahwa maybe his hand had hit Raihan's handsome face. Very upset Reyndra with Raihan. Apparently after marriage, Raihan did not make a move on and still pursue Zahwa.

"Yes, that's right. If so, you asked, right? I can get out of here, 'cause I'm gonna go with Rey and Selina."

"Yes! Go there, you coward!" drive Selina to Raihan.

"Selina.." yelled Zahwa at Selina who made the girl shut up. While Rey smiled as she blinked one eye at Selina, she was happy that the younger sister kicked Raihan out. Selina smiled back at the blink of her brother's eyes as she gave her thumbs up.

Stunned, he looked at Zahwa and held his hand. "Mas Raihan!"

"Let go Zahwa!" Rey brushed off Raihan's hand that held Zahwa's, her eyes so sharp they looked at Raihan.

It seems true that Zahwa and brother Reyndra love each other. I could see the love in the eyes of both of them.Oh my God, it was so crowded. Does this feel like it's ruined? Is it because I hurt Zahwa? Is this what Zahwa felt when I let her down?

"I just want to hug you for the last time Zahwa."

"Sorry, I won't allow it!" firmly Rey while grasping Zahwa's hand so tightly, she did not want Zahwa to be touched by another man.

Zahwa looked at Rey grudgingly and full of haru, how much Rey had withstood her jealousy. Now Rey shows it without hesitation, without hiding because the bond between them will soon be clear.

"Well, it's okay.sorry I don't know myself. But brother Rey, may I say something to brother."

Rey just stared intently at Raihan without speaking.

"Sir Rey, please take care of Zahwa.please be happy Zahwa, don't be like me who can only hurt her heart." Raihan smiled wryly seeing Zahwa and Reyndra holding hands. Like a bomb in his heart that exploded, destroyed the organs in his body and destroyed Raihan from within.

"Huh.that's you realize, you're not a real man." Selina mumbled softly. Zahwa nudged Selina's hand and asked her to shut up.

"May you be happy, I await your invitation.assalamualaikum." said Raihan then passed away from there with a sad heart. His eyes could not hold back the tears that had been welled up since he had been able to hold.

Raihan went on his motorcycle crying sobbing behind his helmet. "O Allah, why is my heart so broken? Wh why? I must be sincere.I already have a wife and Zahwa is also married. I should have been self-conscious, but my heart couldn't be lied to."

*****

While Raihan is heartbroken, Zahwa and Rey are now heading down a happy path for the two of them. Both of them are now in the car, do not forget also Selina who is sitting in the back seat. They're on their way to Calabria's mansion.

Selina looks at Zahwa and Rey who are stealing from each other. "Ehem.luckily there is me here, if no demons have passed by! The danger is just being alone, be patient!"

"Cell, what the hell are you doing?" Rey chuckles at her sister's curse.

"It's okay, sister, continue to see her brother Zahwa.I'm just contracted here," Selina said with a smile.

Zahwa and Rey don't talk, they just smile shyly at the cat.

After the family talks that have agreed to the marriage. In two days, Rey and Zahwa will do the sermon.
