Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 7. Zahwa is heartbroken

...🍀🍀🍀...

Zahwa and Raihan were still talking together in the park, it seemed like their conversation did not end well. When there are crystal grains that fall soaking Zahwa's beautiful face. "Daddy.I'll talk to Abah and my brother, I'll convince them. Wait for me yes Zahwa." said Raihan who then held Zahwa's hand.

Zahwa, who was hurt and self-conscious, immediately shook off Raihan's hand. "Astagfirullah, Mas.don't touch me. We're not muhrim."

"Zahwa.." - Raihan when he saw Zahwa crying.

"Mas.I want to be alone, please Mas. We should not talk for a while, yes" Zahwa said, pleading with Raihan. His heart was currently unable to accept anything heavy. This morning he had enough humiliation.

He is heartbroken with Raihan and his family who have made his family ashamed. It is natural that humans have anger, disappointment and there is a limit to their patience.

"Well, maybe you need some time alone first.later Abah is with my brother, also Salima-will come here." Raihan said sadly. "Zahwa am I sorry, huh? I'm sorry.." continued with a regretful look.

Zahwa, wait for me. I'll reassure all my family. I'll come back and marry you.

Zahwa could not say anything to hear Raihan's apology which made him even more hurt.

"You don't forget to eat and pray, increase the rest.I go home deck, Assalamualaikum." The look of love in Raihan's eyes for Zahwa, a love that is not simple. But there also looks guilty.

"Waalaikumsalam." replied Zahwa with a face-shit.

"Dek, you don't cry, don't make my heart unsettled" Raihan said slowly, reminding.

There was no reply from Zahwa, then Raihan passed away from there. Not to forget he apologized to all members of the Calabrian family, especially Amayra who was also hurt by her own family. They had no one to apologize from Raihan, it was only natural that they were still injured with the attitude of Raihan and his family.

"Zahwa!" call her two anxious omnya, see Zahwa enter the house. With red eyes full of wounds, he could not hide them.

"Everyone.sorry yes, Zahwa has embarrassed you. Sorry Zahwa." Zahwa clenched his hands while bowing his head and apologizing to all his family. Because everyone was embarrassed there.

"What are you talking about, honey? Why are you apologizing? You are not wrong." said Nilam while embracing Zahwa's body. He did not blame Zahwa for everything that happened today.

"Yes, they are just as outrageous as you." Bima said to his nephew.

"Yes, brother, thank you." replied Zahwa in a faint voice.

Everyone tried to comfort Zahwa, but the girl didn't say much, she waltzed back to her room with shaky steps. He who is always cheerful and strong, now feels what it feels like to be heartbroken. Shy, disappointed, sad, her hopes of a beautiful household with Raihan were shattered already.

As soon as he got near his room on the second floor of the house, he passed Rey. "Zahwa..are you okay?"

"Sister.." - Slightly Zahwa who then hugged Rey, she complained to her brother. About the pain he felt. "Sister.actually who has done all this brother? Why is that person so evil to slander me?!"

"Ep...Nemo, don't cry anymore. Mending you rest huh, ah or do you want to eat ice cream with brother?" tawar Rey tries to persuade Zahwa not to be sad anymore.

God, I can't stand to see her tears. Why would I do such a stupid thing?

Zahwa took a deep breath and spoke, "Sister! I'm not done talking! Whoever did this, I hate him.I hope he gets a reply for everything I've received right now!"

Rey gulps at Zahwa's words that make her uncomfortable. Yeah, he's the mastermind behind all that girl's suffering.

Zahwa.Hopefully you will not hate me. Hopefully Salima can keep this a secret and do not let you know.

The next day, at dawn. Bram and Diana wake up

the sound of the chanting of the Holy Quran recalls coming from Zahwa's room.

The Koran is the most noble guide for every Muslim. It contains instructions for Muslims, including a letter of tranquility for someone who is feeling anxiety or apegun in his life. Yes, this is what Zahwa always does in every situation, especially in a state of anxiety like this. Zahwa is heard reciting the letter of Al insyirah.

Allah SWT gave confidence to Prophet Muhammad SAW that in difficulty, it will always be accompanied by ease. This is even mentioned in one of the letters of tranquilization in the Qur'an, the letter of Al-Inshirah. The letter containing 8 verses comes down as solace for Prophet Muhammad SAW from Allah SWT. At that time, he was facing strong opposition from his people. With the fall of this letter, Allah SWT widened his heart which was narrow because of heavy pressure.

"Shadaqallohul..." Zahwa closed his Qur'an after he finished reading. He was crying while prostrating. Asking for the best by Allah SWT.

Bram and Diana felt sad to see their niece who was trying hard to face all her problems. Moreover, the failure of marriage, makes people doubt its sanctity.
