Please Let go of me
Chapter 13 - Two soldiers

Very moving news for him, a beautiful smile when his hope rekindled. Happiness that cannot be explained in words, long waiting and patience produce satisfying results. "I'm pregnant? This is a miracle from Allah SWT, is this the answer of my prayer?" so many questions in his mind, expressing gratitude to the creator of the universe, the news of the awaited pregnancy finally materialized. 

"Wait!" zaid shouted from a distance, stopping the footsteps of Sacred.

"What's wrong?" Sacred immediately turned his head, saw the man sacrifice a few seconds and again lowered his gaze. 

Zaid immediately approached Suci, setting foot in his great stride. 

"It's dangerous, it's not good for you to walk alone," Zaid tries to give a warning, because he's the one who delivered it and is in charge of the shuttle. "Come with me!"

"No need, I can go alone."

"Don't argue, I didn't offer it because of you. But, the fetus is inside your stomach!" clearly Zaid in order not to misunderstand, he knew that the Islamic woman was trying not to get close to a foreign man like him. "You don't have to worry" he continued. 

Suci seemed to think again about the man's words, because he did not want to cause slander with his status still married. "It's not necessary, I'd better just walk." 

"Don't be selfish, you want to torture a child in the womb?" 

Saints were silent for a while, because what Zaid said was indeed true. "All right," said the plan.

Zaid smiled, successfully confronting the selfish nature of a woman. "Wait here, I'm gonna get my Jeep.

Saints just nodded their heads, because they had no other choice. This was her first time going with a man other than her husband, so it came to mind about her problem. "Shall I tell you about my pregnancy? But I can't share my husband's love with another woman." His very worried mind.

"Don't daydream, let's go up!" Zaid smiled, visible from both of his narrowed blue eyes.

Sacred got into the car hesitantly, not wanting to receive any help from the foreign man. "I can do it alone, there's no need to help me."

"I just want to help you" replied Zaid lightly.

"There's a limit to every helping someone sir, and don't forget this, if we're just strangers."

Zaid drove his car at a moderate speed, not wanting to harm a pregnant woman. The journey that felt bland because there was no intertwined communication, the atmosphere of silence made him annoyed. "You're here to go alone?" 

Suci was silent, not wanting to discuss his personal life with others. Zaid sighed, it was quite difficult to communicate with the new volunteer sitting next to him, and decided not to ask. 

Along the way, suddenly two burly men holding guns blocked their way. Saints were very afraid to see soldiers wearing similar uniforms last night. "That's an Israeli soldier" he muttered in the ear of the man next to him.

The face of fear, the sweat on the forehead proves excessive anxiety. Saints are very scared, but trying to stay calm. "My Lord, give me your protection" he said. 

Zaid was forced to stop his car, the two soldiers walked closer and began to check. "It looks like you're volunteers" said one of the soldiers.

"True, don't block our path."

"It looks like you guys are dangerous," one of the soldiers glanced at Zaid, curious about the man's eyes. "Where are you from?" ask him with full attention. "And what is your relationship?" 

"She's my wife, we're just volunteers. Let us through." Zaid answered, who had an angry and incredulous look from the woman next to him.

The uniformed man glanced at each other, occasionally they stared at Zaid and Saints in turn. One of the soldiers glanced at the woman with a passionate hijap, the perverted order she threw out and hoped to try it last night. "You better come with me!" 

"No, I don't want to go with you guys." Reject the Saints, making the two soldiers want to forcefully withdraw. 

Zaid immediately got out of his car, blocking the intentions of the two soldiers who tried to harass Muslim women. "Don't touch my wife!" 

"Share a little with us, don't be stingy." The soldier let out a laugh, not afraid of the warning from the man before him.

Zaid hit the stomachs of two soldiers so hard that they both collapsed from the pain. While the Saint shouted and covered his eyes using both his hands, because he had never seen violence before. 

"I told you, she's my wife. Stop thinking of such perverted things, or I won't stay still, breaking your hands mercilessly!" the glare of sharp eyes scared the two men in uniform, the gripping atmosphere made them unable to resist and decided to leave. 

Zaid got into the car and looked to the side. "Are you okay?" ask her a little worried.
