Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 71. Salimah was angry

...🍀🍀🍀...

Salimah stood with her eyes burning with rage, hearing the man she loved declare the love of others and making her heart burn with what she called jealousy.

His struggle all this time was in vain to get Zayn's heart. Whatever he did was useless because Zayn's heart was already for Aini. Love cannot be guessed what the heart wants.

No matter how hard we try to get a heart that is never for us, then only pain is obtained even though we have fought desperately. Salimah's eyes glazed over Zayn and Aini in front of the office.

Their eyes met each other staring lovingly, love in the eyes of the two young people. Salimah's heart ached to see all that.

No, this can't happen! Zayn's wife-to-be was me, not him.

After expressing his condolences to Aini, Zayn fell silent and still held Aini's hand. "Don't..."

"I want to go home, '" Aini took her hand off the man's hand, and she walked away from there.

Piktor likes me? Haha.no way. Aini shook her head and she could not believe that Zayn liked her.

Zayn was not silent, he did not want to let go of the opportunity he had so hard-earned. Even he had dared to express his feelings even though it was very difficult.

"Dad! Wait for me!" call Zayn while running after Aini who has walked near the front sidewalk of the office. There are also still some employees who just came home and are waiting for their invitation.

Why won't Aini stop?. Zayn was upset that Aini just kept going when she called him.

"NURAINI ASIYAH, I LOVE YOU!"

The deg!

Aini stopped her steps, her eyes widened perfectly when she heard the declaration of love from Zayn. All the employees who were there were watching Zayn and Aini.

Astagfirullah! Did Zayn really confess his love to me? Doesn't he like Salimah?. Aini held her chest

"Well, now you've just been quiet." murmured Zayn with a big smile.

The man approached Aini and was now standing in front of him against the road. He saw Aini who lowered her face.

"Ai.." said Zayn, then held Aini's trembling hands together. Do not ask again the heart and heart of Aini at this time, the two organs in his body were like being attacked by an atomic bomb and exploded.

"Zayn, you-"

"Here, I love you.a-I seriously want to make you my wife!"

The man had gathered his guts to say love to Aini, the girl who was none other than the best friend of his own twin brother and the girl who always argued with him. His intentions are serious, do not want boyfriends and want to get married immediately. That's if Aini wants to accept it.

" Dag Dig dug.yes my heart is like a sport!" screeched Aini while holding her chest, her breathing uncontrollably hearing Zayn's declaration of love and her intention to make Aini his wife.

Zayn's eyes piqued seeing the funny reaction from Aini. It's serious time and the girl is like this. "I'm serious again, you're even-"

Aini covered Zayn's mouth with one hand. "Pictor stop! My heart is no longer strong enough to hear your words.you-"

"Acie..cie..applied!"

"Huhoo! Accept..accept....accept..."

Aini's face was getting red when she heard the cheers from the people who were there, obviously they were like that because they heard Zayn's declaration of love for Aini.

"Pictor! You are yes! Release me!" pinta Aini to Zayn, I swear she wants to get out of there and hide right now. But Zayn still held his hand.

"Before you answer I won't let go of your hand, Ai."

"I'm..."

"O-okay.I'll think about it first, so please let me go, Zayn."

"Always! Answer me, do you like me or not? Yeah, or not?"

"Zayn, I told you I'd think about it."

"Hem.stay answer yes or no." Zayn couldn't wait to hear Aini's yes. Maybe. if the application problem or heading to a serious level, Aini can still think about it and Zayn will give it time. But Zayn needs an answer from his love statement, at least if he already knows Aini's feelings for her. He could plan something later.

"L-yes!" answer Aini timidly.

There was a smile on Zayn's lips, then he pulled Aini's hand and took her away from there. All the employees who saw him chuckled at Zayn and Aini. But Salimah.do not say again how broken his heart is at this time.

When Salimah is about to go home in tears and no one cares for her, she sees Rey and Niko walking out of the office. Yeah, they just finished their work.

Salimah looked at Rey intently, Rey knew what that look meant. Then Rey asks Niko to go home first and there is no need to bring her car because she will bring her own car. Niko complied and left and took a taxi in front of the office.

"I want to talk to my father!"

"Okay, not here. A lot of people." Rey said.

What else does this woman want? Did something happen to him and Zayn? Astagfirullah.I really don't care.

A little while later Rey and Salimah were already inside the quiet office building because the employees had gone home. That's the right place to talk without anyone hearing them.

"What's wrong? I can't linger" said Rey, who has just started, who wants to end talks with Salimah.

"You don't end up sweet as thrown away, Mr. Reyndra!" Salimah's anger on Rey.

"What do you mean? Don't be angry with me!" reprimand Rey who does not like Salimah's tone.

"Say you want to help me get close to Zayn, but Zayn is just like Aini! You didn't even help me a bit."

Rey smiled with a grin, in her heart she was happy because Zayn chose the right person instead of this girl. "You said I wasn't you in the least? Don't forget, who put you in this company to be close to Zayn, even if you don't fit the qualifications to work here."

"That-that..your help is lacking, your time is happy with Zahwa whereas I am not?"

"Maybe.you have to accept the fact that Zayn is not your soul mate. Listen to me carefully Salimah, as hard as you try, if Zayn's heart is not for you. Then you won't be able to be with him. So just accept it!" Rey said and moved out of her seat.

"Can't be like this, Reyndra! You can't make use of me then you taste good on your own, whereas I don't get what I want!" Salimah held Rey's hand, pleading with the man to help her.

"I've helped you enough Salimah and don't forget, not only have I benefited and since the beginning this has all been symbiotic mutualism." Rey brushes Salimah by the hand and leaves the girl there alone. He did not care about Salimah anymore.

Salimah cried sobbing, she hurt Rey who had refused to help her again. "Beware you are Reyndra Aqmar Calabria! If I don't get what I want and I'm not happy, then neither can you! You can't feel good on your own, you have to fall into the same abyss as me." Salimah muttered furiously as she clenched her hands tightly, she stared at Rey's hateful departure. "I'll make the woman you love hurt so deeply, that she can't trust love anymore, I swear!"

*****

At Zahwa's house, that night.

It appears that the girl was feeding the ornamental fish in her aquarium, the fish Rey gave when the man was 14 years old

"Sorry, brother Rey, I forgot to feed you.hehe" said Zahwa while looking at the black ornamental fish he called Rey's sister.

"However, you're like me with fish!" reprimand a man who is now standing behind him.

Zahwa immediately stood up from his squat, he was shocked to hear that extremely familiar voice. "Sister..." A beautiful smile immediately greeted his arrival.
