Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 8. Love for Rey

...🍀🍀🍀...

After performing the dawn prayer and teaching, Zahwa opened his door and kept his little Qur'an where it should be. Then tears fell down his cheeks, when he saw the Qur'an which had a purple cover.

...Deck, has the Qur'an of Mas arrived? Hope you like the deck. Do not forget to read and practice it....

The Qur'an with its favorite purple cover was a gift from Raihan a few months ago before Raihan returned to Indonesia and came with his family to propose to him.

"Come on Zahwa, spirit! You can't be upset! Bismillah!" The girl wiped her tears. "Let's get back to your routine" he continued.

Maybe Raihan and I aren't friends. Zahwa's mind then smiled faintly.

Without him noticing Bram and Diana were looking at him from behind. They feel compassion for Zahwa whose marriage failed, got shame, hurt and disappointed.

"Pa.." - Diana said to her husband, she wanted to get to Zahwa.

"Ma, let's leave Zahwa alone first." Bram embraces his wife, they both leave from there.

After performing the dawn prayer, Zahwa who had not eaten all night was hungry. He decided to go to the kitchen and cook some food.

As he went into the kitchen, he saw someone there arranging food onto a plate. The food is chocolate soft cake, strawberries and pineapple soft cake, there is also a glass of chocolate milk.

"Sister Rey?!" Zahwa patted Reyndra's shoulder.

"Aww....!!" Rey is shocked and accidentally nudges hot milk in a glass. The milk spilled onto the back of his hand.

Zahwa looked at the back of Rey's hand in panic. "Astagfirullah, brother.sorry! I accidentally missed my sister! Here, brother, I see his hands!"

The girl held onto Rey's injured hand, her hand red. Zahwa pulled her sister near the sink nearby. Then he turned on the tap and poured the water into the back of Rey's hand. "Duh..definitely hurt, brother? Sorry, brother...Zahwa didn't intentionally bother you brother."

"It's okay, baby" Rey replied with a smile. In Rey's heart exploding, his hand was touched by Zahwa.

"Ah? What did you say?!" Zahwa glanced at her brother, as she felt an odd word in Rey's speech.

Did Rey just say, baby?

Rey immediately turned her face away, the education of that blushed embarrassed face. "I told you, I'm fine."

Almost caught, astagfirullahaladzim.

"I'm sure there's a word after that?" Ask Zahwa who is still pouring water in Rey's hands.

"You heard wrong." Rey said as usual.

"Oh, is that it?" Zahwa's forehead is wrinkled.

After finishing pouring water long enough into Rey's hands, Zahwa asked Rey to sit there for a while. Zahwa had left Rey to go somewhere. Not long after, he came back and brought the medicine box. "What do you want?"

"If I bring a medicine box, what do you want?" Zahwa asked as she opened the medicine box she had stored on her thigh.

"Ish..kamu this is a habit, if asked even if he turned back." Rey chuckles a little with Zahwa's attitude which is still the same as when she was a child.

"Where are his hands, brother?" Zahwa asked for Rey's hand, in her hand there was also an ointment.

"Well..You asked for my hand? Don't dong Zahwa, brother's hand is only two.mending you take my heart!" Canda Rey chuckled.

"PFut...these brother, brother jokes are not funny know?" Zahwa held Rey's hand, then rubbed the gel-shaped ointment on Rey's back.

"If my jokes aren't funny? Then why are you laughing?" Rey smiled at Zahwa's smiling face.

Thank goodness Zahwa smiled and laughed, I was worried that he would continue to be upset.

"Yes, I just want to laugh." Alibi Zahwa while holding his smile.

"Sister, can't you just talk about a mate? I don't think about it yet" said Zahwa with his sluggish face. His eyes were sad, remembering the still warm event. The failure of her marriage to Raihan, a picture of her that embarrassed the family, certainly made her hurt.

Why did Zahwa say he didn't want to think about it first? Does Zahwa not want to think about a soul mate first?. Rey looked at Zahwa in confusion.

"Sorry Zahwa, sister is just willing-"

Zahwa looked up and looked towards Rey, she showed a slight smile on her thin red lips. "I understand, brother, thank you. Brother is my brother's the best deh." The girl looked at her cousin sister warmly. For Zahwa, Rey is the closest sister to him.

Zahwa, are you going to keep acting like this to me, once you know what I'm doing?

"Oh yes brother, why did you already prepare food early in the morning gini? Is she hungry?"

"Eum.iya I'm hungry," Rey scratched her non-itchy head.

Actually the food was for you, but I said so?

"really? But you don't like sweet things." said Zahwa while blowing the back of Rey's hand. She knew her brother Rey did not like sweet foods too much, but the sweet food was her favorite food.

"Yes, I want to." the man's alibi in his flat voice.

"Hehe, tell me it's for me, right?" Suddenly Zahwa asked so, to make Rey choked.

Masya Allah kak Rey very good, pantesan aja kak Rey many who have a crush. Just like his sister, he was considerate even though jaim jaim is that.

"Isa...GeEr is so you." Rey denied it again.

"Oh yeah, we're eating with yuk. I happen to be hungry too."

Rey took out a plate containing a few pieces of that soft cake. "Hem.yeah, this is also I take it mostly. We'll eat together, yes, Zahwa,"

Zahwa smiles seeing all her favorite soft cake on the plate and makes it even more clear that Rey did get the food for her ."Ish. jaim base," great-grandson of Zahwa with pursed lips.

Rey just smiles, then she and Zahwa eat soft cake together in the kitchen. Accompanied by a glass of warm chocolate milk, for Zahwa. Rey drinks the coffee Zahwa made.

The man was happy to see Zahwa not crying and sad, yes he knew that Zahwa was a strong and not crybaby woman. From Zahwa's childhood, Zayn used to be whiny.

"Zaha..."

"Yes sister?" sahut Zahwa is eating pineapple soft cake.

"You're in a mess" Rey pointed at Zahwa's lips.

"Snap?" the girl rubbed her cheeks which she said were the straws.

"Oh, my goodness, not there." Rey is anxious to see Zahwa cleaning up the wrong area.

"here?" Zahwa rubbed his right cheek again with plain eyes that made Rey even more anxious.

"Haha, you are. Here!" Rey pulled the chair Zahwa was sitting in, until they were close together. Then Rey rubbed the stain on the corner of Zahwa's lips with her bare hands. "I'll point to the lips, not the cheeks! You stupid Nemo!"

Suddenly Rey fell silent and looked at Zahwa. Until both of their attention meet view.

"Zahwa! Rey! What are you guys doing?!"

The sound keeps Zahwa and Rey away from each other. Rey even pushes Zahwa's chair, until Zahwa falls to the floor.

"Ouch!!"
