Zionel no longer told Zaline to continue the story, he instead told his sister to rest. He will soon meet his parents and Stevani, Zionel promised. But Zaline refused to rest, after she regained her composure, she wanted to recount the incident to her brother.
"You sure you can say it?" ask Zionel.
Zaline nodded her head. "I'd be more relieved if I told my brother everything."
"Alright you can continue, but if you can't, you can stop it. Because this story will be repeated when the investigation team asks for information dear."
"If I dare to say it once, then I will be more courageous to say it a second time" Zaline replied.
Zionel frowned. "You didn't even tell this to Brother Vani?"
Zaline shakes. "How could I tell Brother Vani, I was silent and didn't even want to say my name."
"So this is why Stevani did not continue his report to the police station and find out about Haena's identity. He really did protect my sister well, my God, thank you for sending that good woman to our family" Zionel thought.
"When I was in the barn, I heard Gilbran's voice. He was talking to some people outside, it looked like it was their man" Zaline said.
"What do you hear, baby?" ask Zionel.
"Om Gilbran told them to get rid of me as far as possible from D city, if necessary they can kill me too but..."
Zaline scratched the sheets, she closed her eyes and then came out a speech that could not even make Zionel let go of the man.
"But they can get rid of me after he finishes raping me."
That was what Zaline said, Zionel was wide-eyed and his face was instantly crimson. The man immediately cursed and cursed Gilbran. Zionel shouted and threw a glass at the table beside Zaline's bed.
Zaline screamed in fear as the sound of the broken glass rang out loud. Alex enters the room, holding Zionel's body close to destroying the room.
"Sir Zio calm down, you scare the lady." Alex shouted making Zionel aware.
Zaline cried loudly, her body shaking from her sobbing. Zionel slumped to the floor, he hit his own head making Alex continue to hold him.
"Bang Zi.." call Zaline while sobbing. "I'm fine bang, I managed to escape from om Gilbran. Bang.." he added.
Zionel again let go of his crying, he continued to blame himself for not being able to protect his sister. With Zionel weakly awake, Alex immediately helps him. Zionel approached Zaline again while hugging his sister and continued to say endless apologies.
"I'll destroy it, I'll destroy it Zaline. I'm not going to let that damn guy live well, he's going to suffer" Zionel said.
"Lex... immediately send the file to the police station, when the shareholder meeting is held, that's when we'll arrest him and humiliate him for life. I'll make him regret doing this to my sister." - Zionel.
"All right sir." Alex replied.
"Now.." cried Zionel again.
Alex immediately walked out of the room, he was also terrified at the anger of his current superiors.
Zionel examined Zaline's body. "You sure you're okay? Did he really not get to do it?"
Zaline nodded. "Before Gilbran..."
"Don't call him om." snapped Zionel.
"Bang Zi's..."
Zionel took a deep breath. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you. Don't call that man om, he's not a human anymore Zaline."
Zaline nodded her head. "Before the man entered the barn, I managed to untie my hands and feet. I took out an iron rod and hid it behind. I pretended to be unconscious and as he approached, I hit him hard on the head and ran away from the barn. He was chased by the man, but I managed to get into an oil tanker truck. I hid behind that car seat and ended up in town X."
Zionel recalls the incident 5 years ago during a meeting of business colleague Dahi Gilbran on a bandage. When Cruise's extended family asked, he said he was hit by building materials when he saw the construction site. Zionel really felt fooled because he immediately believed the man's story.
"Zaline. Now you're safe. I'll protect you my whole life. I won't let anyone hurt you again." Zionel said.
"I believe bang Zio can take care of me. But bang why isn't brother angry with my name?"
"Why should I be angry? That name is so pretty to you."
"I want to meet daddy mommy and sister Vani."
"Of course, I'll find the right time for your meeting to go unnoticed. Zaline, after this we will face the villain together. You mustn't be afraid in front of him, you must be brave because we are by your side. We have to give them the punishment they deserve. From this second on, they're not Cruise's family anymore."
Zaline nodded.
Zionel hugged his sister again. "Oh my God, I'll never forgive myself until something happens to you dear."
"If you were honest with Vani then, maybe I would never see you again Zaline, I wouldn't even be with Vani" Zionel said.
Zaline let go of his embrace. "Bang Zi... What did you say just now?"
"Ah. means..."
"Don't argue and look for excuses. Tell me what's my brother's relationship with Vani's sister?"
"Kaline... Brother..."
"Did you like Vani's sister?" Zaline Goda.
Zionel frowned. "Aren't you mad if I like it?"
"Of course not, I've thought about setting you up if God brings us together again. And it looks like my wish will soon be fulfilled." replied Zaline.
"Ehm.your wish is not immediately realized little lady but has been realized."
Zaline slips. "You guys..."
"I was scared before that I had to be honest with you. But since you support him then I'll tell you the truth. Vani and I are married, and you will soon have a nephew." Zionel said.
Zaline's mouth was open, she was surprised by the happy news and upsetting for him because he could not be a bridesmaid for Stevani.
"What did you do to Brother Vani? Brother must have threatened her, right to marry brother?"
On target, Zionel got out of the bed before being beaten by his sister.
"Bang Zio's..."
"Okay. I'm being honest with you. A big mistake I made. I did force her but Zaline. For God's sake, that bad start is becoming a good thing now. You don't get mad. Your brother will explain everything."
Zaline took his pillow and threw it at Zionel.
"If you dare to hurt Brother Vani, I will punish you." threatened Zaline.
Zionel held back his laughter, he raised both his fingers at Zaline.
"Abang will protect her at any time. You can punish me severely if I deny it." Zionel said.
"One wound, brother Vani, I'll make five cuts for brother."
"I'll get ten wounds if I hurt her."
"Bang Zio promises to be good and love her forever, bang Zio promises not to hurt her?"
Zionel again approached Zaline while carrying the pillow that his sister had thrown.
"I have sworn before God, and now I will swear before you. I will never break my promise, I will love her, love her, take care of her, protect her. I'll never hurt him in my entire life." Zionel said.
"Thank you bang. Vani deserves all that. She's the most incredible woman I've ever met in my life."
"I know that." replied Zionel.
The two embrace again.
"Rest... I'll tell you the good news and arrange your meeting with daddy mommy and your brother."
"Don't forget to call cleaning service, look at the mess you're doing" Zaline said.
"Oh my God, it looks like I'm going to be surrounded with a woman who's a commanding officer." - Zionel.
Zaline finally laughed, this was the happiness she had been missing from. He really misses Zionel when he jokes like this. Her brother can be mad eerily but when joking her brother will turn out like a child. Zaline was grateful after five more years of not meeting, nothing had changed on Zionel's attitude.
