Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapters 84. Choosing to keep a secret

...Hasad is a dangerous spite, because it can destroy a person if he does not immediately repent to Allah SWT. When this spiteful nature is found in the heart, it belongs to him to be the person who loses the most because the value of his goodness is removed by his hasad nature....

...As written in Surah An-Nisa, verse 32 means as below: And do not envy what God gives to some of you more than others....

...🍁🍁🍁...

The quarrel continued until midnight, there was no violence but many scathing words that Raihan had spoken to his wife. The words he did not want to say to Zainab.

But circumstances make Raihan forced to commemorate his wife with a time like this, is not the task of a husband not only give a living born and inner to his wife? He should also be the head of the family, a good priest and be able to educate his wife if she does something wrong, right?

"Zainab do you realize what you're doing? If I hadn't come there, you would have ruined Rey and Zahwa's marriage. Do you realize that your behavior has overdone Zainab? What is Zahwa wrong with you and Salimah, until you want to ruin his happy day?"

"Ti-no mas, we mean good.we want to open the truth if her husband is not as good as he thinks! We didn't mean to-" Zainab stuttered, she was really scared just by her husband's sharp gaze.

"For what? To avenge Zahwa for what he did not do? Isn't that right, Zainab?" Raihan asked in a soft but piercing voice.

"Mas! Why are you accusing me again? Ah...or lest you still love that woman until you defend her desperately like this!" zainab exclaimed with tears pouring down her cheeks.

"You don't twist the facts, Zainab. You know I don't have that feeling anymore with Zahwa, you know it's true that I've started falling in love with you! I'm not defending her out of love but because I made amends for my mistakes that hurt her and I want her to be happy with her life this time. But why are you still prejudiced against me?"

Zainab brushed away his hand she still sobbed, afraid of all that Raihan had said to her. It is true that he does not like Zahwa to be happy because he thinks Zahwa is still a shadow in his household. Moreover, he was incited by Salimah who accused Zahwa of sending the video.

"Mas, please don't keep blaming me like this! Do you know why I lied about pretending to be pregnant? At that time do you remember? You said you wanted to divorce me and I got scared.I'm afraid you're really divorcing me so I lied."

Raihan was stunned, he did not say a word because what was said by Zainab was indeed true. At that time, he had intended to divorce Zainab because he felt that this marriage without Love would only hurt Zainab.

"I'm sorry for that Zainab, sorry for making you have prejudices that are not because of my attitude and speech" Raihan said.

The man admitted that he was also guilty of encouraging his wife to do evil to Zahwa. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, jealousy shouldn't make me this way."

"Oh, we'll talk tomorrow again. Now it's night, sleep Zainab." said Raihan with a rough sigh. He also got out of that bed. Then he took the holster and also the flashlight on the nightstand.

"Where are you going?" Zainab asked who was astonished to see her husband wearing a sarong and carrying a flashlight.

"I want to watch, tonight's my schedule."

"You want me to make you some coffee, Mom?" bargain Zainab with her husband.

"No, you just sleep." Raihan said coldly. Actually patching was just an excuse for him to leave the house, he was not wanting to talk and was close to Zainab. "You reflect on your mistakes, Zainab. Don't let me be a failed priest and don't let me speak words that God hates. Let us both change Zainab, let there be no hasad and ruse." Said the man wise.

That night Zainab was left alone in her house, crying while lying on the bed. Pondering all his mistakes to Zahwa.

But where does Raihan know about Salimah and Rey's relationship? He knew from the evidence chat in the hp Salimah that he accidentally saw, there he learned that the photos of Zahwa had something to do with Rey and Rey was the mastermind behind the failure of Raihan and Zahwa's marriage first. But Raihan did not want to blame others, he also had time to doubt the sanctity of Zahwa and obey his parents to cancel the marriage.

It's his fault too and Raihan wants Zahwa to be happy. He does not want any problems in his household and chooses to keep secret about the incident of the failure of Zahwa's marriage and himself first.

If the secret is revealed one day, do not get from Raihan, Zainab or Salimah but from Rey's own mouth.

Sunlight shone through the windows of the hotel room, waking Zahwa, who had fallen asleep again after bathing and performing morning prayers with her husband. While Rey stays awake, lying down while hugging his wife sharing the warmth of his body.

He was unceasingly looking at the beautiful face of the woman he had lived with from childhood. Even he knew Zahwa from the baby, now the girl is an adult and has become his wife. Missed the night of unification with him.

"Eungh..." Zahwa's body wriggled, slowly he began to open his eyes. He felt his body slightly heavy as there was a pair of coiled hands on his body.

The big hand also gently stroked Zahwa's nape. "For my wife, are you awake?"

"Mo...why are you?" rey asked in astonishment at the surprised Zahwa.

"Oh yes, I'm married to Rey's sister.maybe I'm surprised hehe." The woman laughed at herself. Because he was surprised to see a man sleeping beside him even hugged him.

"What are you talking about, honey?" Rey asked who did not hear clearly what Zahwa said.

Zahwa's possessive embrace got from her husband. "Well, I forgot we were married so I was surprised why Mas was next to me."

"What's? So you forgot we were married? Yes, if you forget, I'll just take care of it." Rey said casually.

"Ingetin' in?" Zahwa.

After smiling sweetly, Rey brought her face closer to her and kissed her lips again, but Zahwa quickly covered her lips with her hand.

"What the hell? Just interrupt to know!" Rey's gaze was so protesting against his wife's actions.

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet, Mom, I just woke up."

"I haven't either" Rey said.

They also kiss in the morning, only the kiss does not exceed the limit. Because there is a sound of worms in the stomach asking to be filled. And whose stomach is Zahwa's, if not his.

Kruukk...

Rey immediately understood the voice, Zahwa was sometimes difficult to hold hunger especially last night they had just wrestled bed, certainly Zahwa starved.

"I ordered a meal, sorry I forgot last night we didn't have dinner first."

"Yes Mas.I'm a laper, but-"

"What dear?" ask Rey gently.

"I'd like to try eating at her hotel restaurant, but I don't have any other clothes other than this same wedding dress. Mama same mama Diana prepared her thin clothes, sister, I can not wear gini clothes. No more veils!"

"Okay, that's easy."

Rey picked up her phone on the nightstand and called someone and asked her to deliver a set of Muslim clothes along with her veil to the room. Shortly after, a hotel waitress delivers clothes for Zahwa, wears them and goes with Rey downstairs to eat together. Breakfasted.

The two walked hand in hand towards the luxurious restaurant in the hotel.

While walking in the fancy restaurant, Rey noticed a middle-aged man dressed in cleaning service was cleaning up the trash, staring at him sharply.

Why is he here? Rey looked unhappy when she saw the man.

"Rey...Rey!"

Rey ignores the call and continues walking with Zahwa to the restaurant. Luckily Zahwa did not hear the father's voice and went to the restaurant with her husband.
