Islam Friends Sepiku

Chapter 23

"I'm sorry if I ask you something personal about you don't you mind?"

Sultan ventured to start his conversation with Zahra with basmalah, really he really hoped to find his true self. He loved his parents very much at this time, but even so he still had to know all the truth about him, especially if what he thought was right then it was very important he did.

Hearing the Sultan's question, Melati and Zahra both almost choked on food with their respective thoughts.

"No, it's not that." The sultan hastily removed the misunderstandings that were in their brains.

"Are you still looking for your twin brother?" Sultan asked as he looked into Zahra's eyes which he felt were very similar to her.

Zahra and Melati again choked with the Sultan's question. Just this time someone asked Zahra that question, even Melati did not dare to offend it all this time for fear of making Zahra sad.

"I'm sorry, but I really need information from you, it's also about me." The Sultan said again.

"Yes, I'm still looking for him, I'll even keep looking for him until I find him, even though we've aged and become grandparents I'm sure one day God will answer my prayers and efforts." Zahra said as she dropped a single tear she could not bear.

Zahra was also puzzled as to why the Sultan said it concerned her?

"Please forgive me if my question opens up your grief but would you be able to recognize your brother if you saw him?" Sultan asked softly afraid of hurting Zahra.

"Perhaps, I know if she has a unique birthmark on her back." Zahra answered, which surprised the Sultan.

"What is the Z-shaped birthmark?" The Sultan asked expectantly as he also had a birthmark on his back.

"Yes, that's why he was named Zidan according to the shape of his birthmark." Zahra nodded in wonder how the Sultan knew the sign.

Melati and Kevin are just listening to their chat at the moment.

The Sultan was getting more stubborn but still holding him.

"If you can tell if he fell from up there and drifted down this river?" The Sultan's question again surprised Zahra.

"Yes, said the police who took care of the case most likely he fell in this river and was carried away by the current, because the police didn't find the body at all and that's why I'm so sure that Zidan's brother is still alive."

Zahra's words surprised the Sultan.

"Sister Zidan?" The Sultan said the name and cried.

"Zahra's? Zahraa? Zahraaaaa?"

The Sultan stood up and shouted Zahra's name repeatedly and buzzed everywhere.

Zahra stood up and said with a slight tremble "Sir Zi.and?"

"Yes, I'm your brother Zidan, I'm Zidan's brother." Said Sultan while hugging the younger brother who had been looking for him all this time.

Zahra did not doubt that, the sound of the Sultan calling his name entered his heart, he was sure this was the answer from Allah for his prayers and efforts so far.

Melati and Kevin were still gawking at the sight before him.

"Mel, God answered my prayer, your prince is my brother Zidan." Zahra said to Melati, shedding tears of joy.

...

Laras wept on her husband Gibran's shoulder, as he watched the Sultan return with his younger brother Zahra.

"Well, I'm still your son, please don't cry, nothing has changed. Mama should be happy because she's getting a new daughter." The Sultan said to Laras who was sitting on the sofa leaning on her husband's shoulder while crying. Laras was very afraid that the Sultan would go with Zahra and leave her.

Laras lifted his head and looked at the Sultan.

"Aren't you going to leave mom alone?" Ask Laras.

"No way, I'm still the son of mama and papa, and look I brought a daughter to mama papa."

The Sultan had discussed with Zahra before, if the Sultan could not leave his foster parents because even though he was not born from him but he was the same as his biological parents, and Zahra agreed, instead, Zahra agreed when the Sultan offered her to live together in his house.

Laras approached Zahra and asked while holding Zahra's chin "Really? the princess? you want to be my daughter and live here with me?"

"Yes, I want to." Zahra nodded slowly and said yes.

Laras is very happy and hugs Sultan and Zahra, it turns out his fear to hide the identity of the Sultan is not right, he thought when the Sultan found his real family, the Sultan will leave him, it turns out he was wrong, he was wrong, now he has another child after the Sultan learns of his true identity.

Gibran also shed tears of joy, seeing his beloved wife who had always told him that if one day the Sultan found his memory then the Sultan would leave them. And how grateful he is to see his wife now embracing two children whom they will certainly love no less than the affection of biological parents to their biological children.
