It hurts, it hurts...
Zahwa tried to get up after being hit by the man by a block of wood. The girl felt her back as if it was about to break. He was hit by the blow because he was caught going to run away when the father was sleeping.
Mama, papa, Zayn's sister.sister Rey.
Zahwa cried, how brave he was he was still a 6-year-old child. Who wouldn't be afraid of being held captive even being hit by a mentally disturbed man? Adults will be scared too.
"Boy already said! I'll give you everything you want, but why do you want to run away, son?" The man was crying, he hugged Zahwa.
The little girl tried to get rid of the father's hand, but she was afraid of being beaten again. The wound on his back was still wet, he did not want to be beaten again. He thought he had to be okay to get out of there.
"Tiara didn't run away sir, Tiara just wanted to close the door just so you don't get cold. Tiara's not going anywhere, sir." Zahwa tries to act as Tiara, who she doesn't know who.
Oh, my God, I'm sorry Zahwa lied.
"Oh, is that, son? Sorry dad, I thought you wanted to run away from me just like your mom. Yes, I closed the door, yes..."
The father got up from the floor, he locked the door and took the key so that Zahwa could not escape. "Well now it's closed, good boy.beautiful boy, yuk now sleep yuk!" take the father gently to Zahwa.
"Yes sir, but Zah-Tiara's back hurts!" Zahwa complained to the father.
"Oh yes, I will treat your wounds, son? Wait a minute, I have the ointment." The father immediately looked for ointment in his unkempt bedroom closet.
Zahwa waited there while enduring the pain on her back, she missed her family. "Mama, papa, brother..are you worried about me? Are you looking for me?"
****
The Calabrian mansion.
Zayn, still in pain in his back even though after being examined by Amayra. The boy was fine and there were no injuries.
"Zayn, mama's already rubbing ointment on your back. Are you still sick?" Amayra asked her son.
"It's still about Ma, it hurts so much..." Zayn grimaced in pain, for no reason even though he was unharmed.
Between being stunned and being reminded of Zahwa, something might happen to Zahwa and Zayn feels it too. Zahwa and Zayn are twins. The two of them together in the same womb, shared everything there. What is possible if there is no bond, right? Perhaps the inner bond between them is strong enough, so that the other is sick and the other brother can feel the pain.
Oh God, did something happen to Zahwa? Does he feel this kind of pain and is this what is called an inner bond?
That night after Amayra had put Zayn to sleep, Amaya went out of her room and she could not sleep, she waited for news from her husband and her two sisters-in-law about Zahwa. But there has been no news from them, to make a mother become anxious because of anxiety.
"Zahwa, where are you, son? Hope you're okay, kid, you'll be okay, right? Oh God..." Amayra looked at the sky while crying bitterly.
"May, you haven't slept?"
Someone pat Amayra on the shoulder, she is Diana. "Sister Diana?" Amayra wiped her tears.
"You think Zahwa?" Diana asked the obvious answer.
"Yes, brother" replied Amayra confirming.
"No word from Satria yet?"
"There is no news at all from Satria, Bram's brother or Bima's brother, brother..."
Looked uneasiness on Diana's face, if she was in Amayra's position and anything happened to Reyndra, she would be upset too. At the moment Diana could only win it, unable to help much, only a prayer that she could offer so that Zahwa could soon be found to be fine.
"Thank you, brother, prayer is more effective than anything in the world. Thanks..."
Diana gave Amayra a hug to shed her tears. Amayra was crying in Diana's arms.

2 Days passed, Zahwa was still not found either. Satria gave up her job at the hospital to another doctor in search of her child. Bima postpones his return to Surabaya, to find Zahwa. The boy is still unaccounted for as well, they (the police) thought Zahwa was taken to a remote place. So they decided to look for a remote place in every corner of the city first.
"Where is Sat, Bram? Is Zahwa any news?" Tanya Nilam welcomed Satria and Bram who had just returned home after two days of searching for Zahwa.
Bram shook his head weakly.
Satria also shook her head, "No news yet, Ma,"
Amayra saw the tired face of her husband, two days after searching for their son. His eyes full of hope looked at Satria, "Mas...Have Zahwa met? You went home with Zahwa, right?" his expectations about Zahwa are very high. She hoped Zahwa could go home.
"Sorry baby, we've been trying to find him.but there's no word yet where Zahwa is."
Heartbroken Amayra!
"There's really no word from the police, huh?" ask Amayra again.
"It is not a pity, but the police and Bima's crew are still looking for Zahwa in a remote place.There is a possibility that Zahwa is not taken to the city," Satria looked at his wife's anxious face.
"Yes, you rest first. I'll get you some food."
Amayra tried hard, though her heart ached, and she welcomed and served her husband. After Satria finished bathing, Amayra had already prepared food for her. "Honey, where's Zayn?"
"Zayn again with Rey upstairs, Zayn still doesn't want to go to school."
Satria sighed, "Yes, it's okay. I know as stubborn as I am, he must be worried about his brother so he is. But, tomorrow you have to persuade him to go to school again huh?"
O Allah, I do not want to eat.My eyes are not calm, Zahwa thought. Satria saw a plate containing rice and side dishes that had been presented in front of him.
"Yes, um,"
Suddenly Amayra cried, Satria saw his wife. "Darling..."
"Where can we eat like this? We don't even know, Zahwa eats or doesn't...he sleeps what not? He's all right, what's wrong? I'm afraid mas.I'm afraid of Zahwa."
Satria came from his seat and approached his wife and gave a warm hug. "Darling, Zahwa will be fine...God will protect our children,"
"Yes..."
Dreet..
Dreet...
πΆπΆπΆ
Satria's phone rang, she immediately released her embrace from Amayra. "Who is it?!"
"Sister Bima," Satria replied as she looked at the call on her phone. Satria immediately picked up the phone, "Yes brother?"
"....."
"Have you heard from Zahwa?"
"...."
"Alhamdulillah, I'll be there soon brother!" Said Satria with widened eyes.
After speaking with her brother, Satria was seen to be in a hurry. He ate a small amount of food on the plate to replenish his energy and he gulped down the drinking water quickly.
"What's wrong? What did Brother Bima say?" Amayra looked at her husband.
"Zahwa's place on the crib has been found and there's also a madman holding it. I'm gonna go over there and see how things are,"
"I'm going with the mas!"
"Darling, you're here!"
"I'm coming with Mas!" Said kekeh.
"Okay, come on." Satria patted her forehead.
Satria and Amayra walked into the car and hurried. In the car, Satria and Amayra were surprised to see two children sitting in the back. "Rey, Zayn? Why are you here?"
"Papa mama wants to pick up Zahwa, right? I'm coming, '" Zayn crossed his arms in the chest.
"Zayn, Rey's down!" Satria exclaimed at the two children.
"No way!" Zayn refused firmly.
"Rey, his sister persuaded dong?" Amayra looked at Rey and the boy was also indifferent. He seemed to agree with Zayn.
"Sorry Aunt,"
I also want to know about Zahwa.
"Haihhh.ya already, you can come but you can't be reckless!" Satria said, turning on the car.
Rey and Zayn throw smiles at each other.
