Believe me, I'm Still Sacred

Chapter 91. Apologies

...🍀🍀🍀...

Hearing Iqbal say to Salimah, not only made Salimah stunned but Annisa too. She dislikes her husband's overly dictatorial decisions and blames Salimah.

"Abi, I don't agree with your decision! There are still many men in this world, why should our children become second wives? You want our son to be labeled as an actor?" annisa asked with a wrinkled forehead and a pale face. She knows what kind of man her husband is, Iqbal does look soft on the outside but in fact he is a husband figure who is firm and not hasty in making decisions.

If you have spoken A will certainly be A, if you have spoken B will certainly be B. His decision is absolute and inviolable.

There is indeed a reason why Iqbal wants to betroth his son to ustad Fahri who clearly already has a wife. He wants Salimah to be educated by a good man and Sholeh, of course, can point him in a better direction. Ustad Fahri also actually had feelings for Salimah before he married his wife but Salimah rejected Fahri's proposal outright. So there is no harm if Iqbal asks Fahri to return to be his son-in-law and surely the man will not refuse.

But Annisa did not agree with the punishment her husband had given Salimah, however Salimah was the only daughter where perhaps she would betroth her daughter to someone who already had a wife.

"Sorry Umi, Abi is no longer able to educate our children. But it's time for our son to grow up and walk forward. Maybe after she married ustad Fahri, this childish attitude will change. Abi's decision has been unanimous, this is also for the good of our children both umi." said Iqbal firmly.

Salimah wept bitterly as she pleaded with her ashes not to be betrothed to ustaz Fahri. He would rather receive another punishment than be betrothed to the man, the man he never loved at all. "Pig...Please, don't do this to Imah...Imah will do anything to make amends as long as Imah is not married to ustad Fahri. If Abi and brother Raihan want me to apologize to Zahwa and also Mr. Reyndra, I will definitely apologize to them.but please don't match me with ustad Fahri."

Raihan did not speak up, he just kept silent to see his sister was pleading with her ashes. He was angry, disappointed and hurt Why would the sister he loved so much stab him in the back? In fact he was the mastermind of the cancellation of his marriage and Zahwa used to be because of the feeling of hasad.

"Abi..umi please Abi consider this decision once again!" pinta Annisa to her husband.

"Well, Abi will think about it." replied Iqbal with a long sigh. "Raihan, now that you bring Zainab and Salimah to the Calabrian family home, they must apologize for their actions to Zahwa and also Reyndra." said Iqbal.

"Yes Abi, the request must be in motion." said Raihan.

Salimah only sobbed regretting all her deeds, she could do nothing but surrender. Now he, Raihan and Zainab are on their way to the Calabrian family home.

Don't forget that it's still early, so maybe everyone is gathering there and this is a great opportunity to apologize.

Salimah's hands trembled in fear, she was so frightened by the decision of her ashes that she wanted to marry him to ustadz Fahri. Zainab did not comfort Salimah, for she was still upset with Salimah because she already knew that Salimah was the one whom they had conversed with the Maya doctor and tried to pit herself against Zahwa.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the Calabrian family mansion. It just so happens that everyone will just leave for work, that's when Salimah looks for an excuse. "Sister, they already want to work.why should we-then"

"Congratulations, NURUT!" raihan said with a high voice to his sister.

"I-iya brother." said Salimah did not dare to speak again.

Zainab was also silent, she was busy and prepared to string words for her apology to Zahwa.

Bram, Nilam, Diana, Selina, Zahwa and Rey also sat there because Raihan said there was something he wanted to talk about especially to Rey and Zahwa. They wondered if Raihan had come here with the frightened Zainab and Salimah.

Meanwhile, Rey looked at Salimah sharply. Yes, because the woman told the truth first, Zahwa became angry with her. Although he did not blame Salimah completely, he was also wrong and he admitted it.

"Sorry, what are you guys doing here?" tanya Bram who always ketus to Iqbal family, including Raihan. The man who had already hurt Zahwa so deeply and he still harbored a sense of annoyance.

"Bram don't be like guests, son." Nilam reminded his son to be more friendly to guests.

"Ehem, what are you guys doing here?" asked Bram in a better tone of voice than before.

"Sir Bram, everyone, especially to Reyndra and Zahwa, we're here to apologize." Raihan started talking between them.

All of a sudden Salimah dropped her body in front of Zahwa, she rested at the girl's feet and shocked everyone.

"Well, what the fuck are you?" zahwa asked astonished to see Salimah like that

"Zahwa I'm sorry.I sent my voicemail and brother Rey, I gave Rey the idea to destroy your marriage and brother Raihan first. I'm sorry Zahwa, I've been praying with you.sorry..".hiks..." Salimah clasped Zahwa's hand, tears of regret flowing down her face. "Sorry me too.hiks.because I tried to destroy your household and Mr. Reyndra by sending all of it. Not enough with all that, I even tried to complain against you and Zainab's brother. I'm sorry.hiks.." said Salimah sobbing apologizing very much to the girl who had been wronged all this time.

Diana, Nilam, Bram and Selina were caught hearing Salimah's words. They underline on the part that Rey and Salimah destroyed Zahwa and Raihan's marriage. "Wait on! What does it mean that Rey ruined Raihan and Zahwa's marriage?" diana asked while looking towards Rey and Raihan at the same time.

Now it's Rey's turn to confess and apologize in front of her family, yes she can't hide this truth from her family is not it? Zahwa knows it anyway.

Rey says that she is the mastermind of Zahwa and Raihan's previous marriage annulment. All the Calabrians are shocked and distrustful of what Rey has said and how she can do that.

"So this is what made you and Zahwa quarrel Rey?" asked Nilam while massaging his head which suddenly felt tired.

"Yes, Oma,"

"Astagfirulah.."

After telling all the truth and secrets, Rey is relieved but she is not calm with her wife who is certainly still angry with her.
