The Chosen Heart

Episode 71

After the departure of Surya. They're lunglai. Hanan massaged his own head, he felt dizzy. Zahwa and Zahra are both still sobbing. I never imagined that this would happen.

''Bik, get me a drink.'' Hanan's Order. Bik Asih who was also still calm and also saddened to hear the orders of Hanan immediately rose from his position. He went straight to the kitchen.

No one is talking. Elena and her mother were shameless they were still in the house. Instead, go to Elena's room without asking permission first. And the two of their minions came out of the house. But don't go hanging out as if it's their home, too.

''I'm going back first.'' Pamit Hanan's

Neither Zahwa nor Zahra answered. Just nod.

"What actually happened? I don't understand at all." Ask Zahwa to himself.

''I don't know either. This afternoon when we came home from the mosque, Mas Surya intended to take me home. It just so happens that I didn't bring a car" Zahra told me.

''Awhile. You guys at the mosque together? I mean do you guys happen to be together?'' Ask Zahwa.

''Every Afternoon I and Mas Surya at Masjid Al Aqso

. We are discussing the books that will be studied in the pesantren. More precisely, Mas Surya asked me to listen to his book salary before he actually went to the boarding school. As usual, we went home after the magrib prayer. And while halfway to my house, Mas Surya got a call from home. She was tense, and then asked me if I could stop by her house for a while. Because there was a precarious problem that required him to quickly get to the house. I just agree. And until this house there are already many citizens, and the police are here. We were just as surprised. Surya asks why many people are at home

and what are the police coming for. Then the police said that he had to arrest Mas Surya for raping Elena and also hiding himself all this time. Mas Surya was furious, but the number of charges and also he did not have much evidence to declare his innocence made to succumb. Moreover, all the residents are witnesses that Elena has been living in this house all this time.'' Zahra Story .

''Suppose me and Mas Hanan don't move house maybe this slander won't happen.'' Zahwa blamed himself.

''We don't have to blame ourselves or regret it. All we have to do is prove that you're innocent." Hanan said he carried a tray of drinking water for Zahwa and Zahra.

''But how? If all the citizens had testified that Elena had indeed lived in this house all this time.'' Deny Zahwa.

''Relax. We'll find the way . If we think calmly and not rashly we will win. Now drink first." Hanan offered a glass of water to Zahwa. He also gave it to Zahra.

"I want to help Surya. Hope you guys don't mind.'' Zahra.

''We even thanked him." Reply Zahwa

''Now we go home. Zahra you we'll take you home." Hanan.

''We don't just live here? How could we let them win just like that and instead just want to stay here.'' Zahwa Protest. Not understanding her husband's mind.

''Come on, I'll tell you later at home. The house is unsafe and there are many traps. I beg you to trust me.'' Hanan said convincingly.

''How's a real Asih? cook you must let him stay with them.'' Zahwa.

''We're home, Bik. So auntie's all right. If there is anything, contact us directly. Never turn off your aunt's phone, Hanan's message. I don't know what was planned, but Bik pasih nodded in understanding.

They finally came home. On the way there is not much to say. Too tired or words may have been used up to say something else. It all happened so quickly that they had to take it for granted.

''Don't you want to go to the police station first?" Zahra asked opened the silence.

''It's late at night. You just go home. I've contacted the lawyer and after returning Zahwa I'm going to the police station." Answer Hanan.

''I'm coming with me it's okay.'' Zahwa and Zahra said almost simultaneously. The two then exchanged looks.

''Ahhh! It is difficult, if it is about the person in love.'' Hanan said sighing. He felt that the two women with him were not really there. Their thoughts were only on his current Brother.

''It's a big problem, Mom. Not about love. You're this!" Umpat Zahwa was upset

''Yes. I will also not be able to sleep peacefully in times of distress like this Mas Surya.'' Zahra Sahut.

''No one's coming with you two at home . No and rest. What do you do later, cry, hug each other and act to strengthen each other. No one will go to the police station. Point. It's my decision. No one can argue with it." Hanan said firmly. The two women silently did not dare to answer and refute.

'After a while Zahra got home. Hanan once again advised to calm down and rest. His sister will be fine too. He needs his prayers.

''We're saying goodbye. Assalamualaik... Take good care of yourself.'' Pamit Hanan's. Zahwa was waiting in the car. There is no jealousy, just sympathy for each other. He feels the same now.

The car drove out of Zahra's house. Back on the night streets. The distance between Zahra's house to Zahwa's house is quite far. Along the way Zahwa yawned. After crying someone is sometimes sleepy without them noticing. But the burden of the present mind cannot make it cram just like that.

''Sleep away. When I get home I'll wake you up." Hanan said by stroking Zahwa's head wrapped in hijab. Look at Zahwa blankly facing out the car window.

''Where can I sleep. When the family itself is in trouble." Reply Zahwa.

''Everything will be fine, baby. Trust me, I promise you brother won't be in jail for long.'' Entertain Hanan.

''How do?'' ask Zahwa.

''We're going to take a pregnancy test. And if Elena's pregnant, we have to investigate who the right man is. At least they were not far from that Localization. We can also test for DNA. And I have other plans, too. So you calm down, replied Hanan. He could not bear to see Zahwa like that. She was so worried about her brother. She just prayed that her worry was just a sister to her brother . Not one to his girlfriend.

"Tell me all your plans. I want tah.''

''Yeah, I'll tell you everything. But now rest. I don't want you to be too tired . '' Pinta Hanan's. Zahwa. He began to adjust his sitting position to make her comfortable and then closed his eyes.

The road is long. And Hanan has to get home. And then immediately go to the police station. Her brother was waiting for her.
