Antara Darah dan Hati: Dream Reality English Translation

Chapter 3 Part 3 "The Princess's Heartbreaking Secret"

It has been several days since Muhamed was kidnapped when verlichte kaarsen being held. Since that incident he is more alert, agitated and uneasy, I watched his gesture, he walked carefully when we both travelled by walking.

It seems natural if he behaves like that. However, the reason behind his kidnapping is not logical. Of all the people who were arrested since the demonstration that took place yesterday, why was he the only one who is kidnapped with the reason to threaten me so that I won't get close to mevrouw Sofia? I mean, I know she's a royal, one of the candidate for the successors to the throne of the Kingdom of Netherlands and is engaged. A commoner like me should not be close to her and even so, it was not my fault. She became close to me lately because of a series of events that were destined to happen and connected me to her. Plus I'm still searching for the meaning behind the dream that I experienced every night that became increasingly clearly and show a series of stories between the two of us as if I were in another world, the real world, the world where I can feel. Is it a sign that I have fallen deeply in love with her?

I did say that if her fiancée hurts her I won't stay silent because I don't want her to be hurt by her fiancée and not get happiness but what can I do about someone like that? I am nothing, I do not have any power to help her from the unhappiness she experienced. After all, if I forced myself, it would only harm Muhamed.

I know I can't feel pain but I'm not too concerned about my own well being, I don't care if I had to die in order to stand up for the right thing, I just don't want Muhamed to be threatened again. Maybe the English proverb is a bit harsh but "Bro's before hoes" is what I prioritize. Just like now, I was praying for his safety at the time after the midday prayer at the campus mosque and then lying in order to rest at the side of the mosque together with him waiting for the rain to calm itself down. In the middle of our rest, he asked about it.

"Karim, regarding merouw Sofia, did she call you through Line application or something?"

"No, why Muhamed?"

"Last night she contacted me."

"Oh?"

"Yes, she said she was sorry."

"Because?"

"I don't know, that's just what she told me."

Muhamed handed me his smartphone, I read his conversation with her. She greeted Muhamed and asked how he was in Indonesian then asked how I was doing.

Muhamed asked about why she contacted him and not me.
she said she wanted to try to stay away from me for fear of me and the people around me being hurt by her fiancé and also she apologized to Muhamed and asked her help to convey her apologies to me and Ilya. Ah, it seems like she found out about what happened to Muhamed because she saw bruises on his face the last time we met. Muhamed tried to lie as best as he he could while explaining about the bruises on his face. I think she knew that Muhamed was lying.

"Hhh, dankje broer."

"Actually, I don't mind if mevrouw really likes you, at least if she's on your side, we would have strong backing if we were doing something like yesterday, the thing is..."

"Yes, her fiancé."

"Potverdorie (Damn)! Sorry I'm weak."

"It was not your fault Muhamed, at that time we were in the wrong place at the wrong time, maybe it was fate but fate always had strange surprises at certain times, right? You always say that, your life's motto, just do your best Insha Khair, Insha Allah. "

"Aamiin, I want to go to sleep first, if the rain has stopped, please wake me up."

"Aye, aye sir."

I was still awake fiddling with my smartphone until some time passed, I got a ring, my smartphone vibrated, it was a message from Ilya, I opened it.

"Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumussalaam, what is it Ilya?"

The WA's text stated that he was typing then he sent me a link. I opened it, its contents made me immediately close the link, I immediately went out from the mosque as fast as I can leaving Muhamed who was sleeping, I looked for the nearest place from the mosque that was safe from the rain and then opened the link again. It contained adult videos that was amateur-recorded, it filled by scenes contained in films like 50 Shades of Grey and when I fast forwarded the video, the ones playing were mevrouw Sofia and heer Vinno? This is crazy! For what Ilya gave me these?! I immediately sent him a message.

"Ilya, Astaghfirullaah! Are you crazy?!"

"Yes, and I got it. The video can be used to destroy Vinno's life."

"If you want to use that method I strongly disagree, mevrouw Sofia's reputation can get damaged!"

"Sorry, it is too late, when you opened the link I sent, it automatically sent the video to mevrouw Sofia's contact too."

"And if she opens it, will the link spread?"

"No, it won't spread but she'll get an automatic message from an anonymous WA number if she doesn't want it to spread, she has to chat you immediately and stop her relationship with that jerk Vinno or I'll spread the link that contains the video."

"Ilya, this is ourageous! You've gone too far!"

"Yes, I know but this is how my father taught me to win, if your enemy uses dirty methods to win, just use the same method because in the real war, the rules won't be obeyed."

I did not answer his message, my feelings were mixed between upset, sad, scared and agitated. I have to send her a warning immediately, wait! Her WA Contact WA is supposed to be exist in my phone, what the hell?! O Allah, forgive me, if Ilya does the right thing according to Your judgement, give me the strength to forgive him, if he does the wrong thing according to Your judgement, give him a warning, Aamiin.
