CHAPTER 38

🌹HAPPY READING🌹

Kina asked them all for permission to pick up the phone first. Because it is closest to the landline.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said Kina picking up her phone.

Kina's body stiffened up bad news from one of Ibra's men who was in the city of Tarim to always keep an eye on Zahra.

The phone just fell out of Kina's hand. His body staggered back and would fall if Aska did not immediately catch his wife.

"Why Honey?" ask Ask.

They all stood up and approached Kina who was already crying for no reason they knew.

"What's wrong, son?" ask Dee worried.

"Kina why, son?" ask Ibra to be worried.

"Hiks," only tears came out of Kina's mouth. His eyes looked at all of them, including Kenzo.

"Everything's fine, right, son?" ask Sofia.

Kina shakes. "Hiks, Ko-city of Tarim, Umi, Mommy" Kina said with her crying voice.

"Tarim?" the Beo Kenzo doesn't understand anything.

"Why Nak? Quiet old man just said, yes," said Dee calming Kina.

Kina nodded obediently and took a deep breath. Release it slowly to calm her feelings.

"Tarim City was hit by Flood Barang, Umi, Bunda, hiks," Kina told them all.

"And the place where Kak Zahra lived was the worst hit by the Flood, hyks," continued Kina who made them all shocked.

"Mas, Zahra," said Sofia in disbelief hugging Kevin who was also silent in his place.

Dee shook her head in convincing herself that Zahra must be fine.

"Tell me what's going on?" ask Kenzo timidly. He was afraid that what he would hear would destroy his world for the second time.

"Ken," call Al lirih.

"What's Al?" ask Kenzo.

"Zahra is in the Yemeni city of Tarim, Ken" Al told Kenzo.

The fear finally happened. As yet as he met his wife, Kenzo had to get bad news like this. "It's all a lie, isn't it, Al? Zahra must be fine. My wife and son must be fine, Al," Kenzo assures her.

Kenzo turned to look at Dee who was already crying in Ibra's arms. "Umi and Mommy promised to tell Kenzo about Zahra's whereabouts, right. Now tell me Zahra's okay, isn't she, Umi? Zahra's still in the country, isn't she, Umi?" ask Kenzo to Dee.

Dee just kept quiet and looked at Kenzo with tearful eyes. Seeing that Dee was silent, Kenzo turned to Sofia and Kevin.

"Mother, Dad, Zahra is still in this country right? Zahra's not going anywhere, is she, Mom, Dad?" ask Kenzo sissily.

Sofia could only cry hearing everything. Men should be strong and strong for their women. If they are weak and cry, who will give them strength.

Kenzo's body felt weak, even to bear his own weight, he was unable to. His entire armour was hollow, his bones felt powerless.

"I beg you, you must be fine, Zahra," muttered Kenzo softly with a face that had been soaked with tears.

"We must continue to pray, Ken," said Al.

"Even I haven't met my wife, Al. My son has not even been born into the world, but has had trials like this with Zahra" Kenzo said.

Sofia who saw Kenzo like that was getting powerless to hold back her tears. The man who had tortured his son looked like a man who had lost his way.

Kevin who saw that tightened his embrace on Sofia. "Darling, you calm down, yeah. Zahra must have survived. You have to be strong for the kids" Kevin said, calming Sofia down.

"Why should Zahra continue?" sofia asked on the sidelines of her crying.

Dee who saw Sofia like that, broke away from Ibra's embrace and walked over to her. "Sofia," call Dee softly.

"Zahra-" said Sofia unable to continue his words.

Dee nodded. "Zahra is a strong boy. She was a special woman with all her strength and confidence in the Creator. We have to make sure Zahra is okay" Dee said.

Sofia hugged Dee tightly. "Zahra, Dee" said Sofia with tears.

"Now what Zahra needs is our prayer. If we're always like this, then who's gonna pray for Zahra?" dee asked as she gently rubbed Sofia's back.

Sofia nodded in Dee's arms. He looked at Ibra and gave the code to take care of everything immediately.

Ibra nodded in understanding at what Dee meant. "Kenzo, follow Abi with Kevin's father. Al and Aska please take care of it here, yes," Ibra told Kenzo, Al and Aska.

"Come on Vin," Ibra asks and immediately walks out of the house followed by Kevin and Kenzo to find out the truth about this information and find out the whereabouts of Zahra.

.....

"There's no other way, we have to go, Abi, Dad," Kenzo panicked when Ibra's men said Zahra's house was flooded.

"You people! You asked Abi to look after Zahra from afar why not help her?" kenzo scolded Ibra's men. Although not scolding directly, but Ibra's men seem very frightened. They were negligent in carrying out the duties given by Ibra. Ibra's men are in Yemen, they communicate via video call. All the faces of fear appeared on Ibra's men.

"We're all worried, Kenzo. But take care of your emotions" said Kevin, trying to ease Kenzo's emotions.

"But Zahra, Dad," said Kenzo.

"Zahra is also my son."

"Zahra is also my son" replied Kevin and Ibra firmly.

Kenzo sighed deeply and tried to calm his heart and mind. Please take care of my wife and child who are still in my wife's womb, Lord. Inner Kenzo.

"Tell me how you guys got cheated?" ask Ibra firmly. In this case, he could not vent all his emotions like Kenzo. He had to be calm so that his men could explain calmly and clearly.

"Sorry, Sir. Disaster occurs at dawn. It makes it difficult for us to monitor Miss Zahra. Moreover, Miss Zahra's residence is very strong there will be. So, we can only monitor and guard from afar. There's no way we guys barged in and made Miss Zahra uncomfortable" one of Ibra's men explained calmly.

Ibra nodded in understanding, although in her heart was very worried about Zahra who was somehow in her condition.

"Then how's it going in there now?" tanya Ibra hesitated.

"Society is being evacuated, sir. We have been looking for various places of refuge. But I'm sorry, sir, we didn't find Miss Zahra's whereabouts" said Ibra's men, looking down on avoiding Ibra's deadly gaze.

"Please keep an eye on me and never stop looking for my son. I'll be there soon" said Ibra and immediately disconnected his call.

"I'm coming, Abi," said Kenzo.

"We're leaving, Ib. Zahra our responsibility," said Kevin sadly considering the child he had raised, always getting various trials that even, not everyone can deal with.
