BEING THE WIFE OF HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW
CHAPTER 2. EXCHANGING IDENTITIES

“Then what do you want now? This marriage has already happened and can't just be undone? What are you going to do?”

Kian still continued to look at his twin brother who was thinking. What the brother said was true. The marriage contract had already happened and he couldn't possibly cancel it. Moreover, the threat from the father who will remove his name from the family heirs list, making the girl can not dwell at all. 

But she also couldn't even she didn't want to undergo this marriage. His life, his heart, his love, everything he has given to Vicky's lover. Only Vicky is always in his memory. And only Vicky is the one he wants to be his future companion. Although in reality he himself was never sure whether his dream could be realized or not. Remembering the father who hated that man so much. 

Lian knows if what Vicky has, no one is included in the prospective daughter-in-law criteria for the father. Vicky's life of delinquent, unemployment, drunkenness and drug abuse were the main reasons the father never agreed his eldest son was related to the man. But the heart can not be arranged to fall in love with who is not it? That is what is always used as an excuse by Lian every time the father discussed it.

“Lian...” call Kian by touching the shoulder of his twin brother.

Lian turned her head and then looked at her twin brother from top to bottom and smiled.

“Lian, why do you see me like that?” ask Kian who already felt there would be something wrong.

“I know what I'm going to do with this wedding,” Lian said.

“What?” ask Kian back.

“We will exchange identities.”

DEG

The words from Lian managed to make Kian die said. His body suddenly pecked and his heartbeat seemed to stop.

“What... What do you mean?” ask Kian with trembling lips.

“We can exchange identities. You became Lian the wife of a wealthy businessman named Rama. And I will be Kian, father's youngest beloved girl,” replied Lian.

“But.. But it's not possible. If you're not married, maybe I can do it. But the condition now is that you are married. I cannot replace you as his wife Mas Rama,” replied Kian with teary eyes. He did not expect at all if his twin brother was to the heart find such a cruel idea.

“Why is it impossible? What are you afraid of? About the first night? Can you avoid it if the man tries to get close to you? Besides, I'm not sure if he's gonna touch you that fast. Because after all, he was also betrothed by his grandfather,” said Lian.

Again, silent. His head was suddenly dizzy and his body was trembling violently.

“Lian, ask me anything but I beg you not to ask me to replace you as his wife Mas Rama,” Kian said and now his tears are falling very fast.

“I can't. I have no other ideas besides that,” said Lian still with a haughty tone.  

He covered his face with both hands. She was crying all over there. Lian was always like this. From the time he was a child his twin brother was always making problems and he was the one who always solved it or sometimes became his scapegoat. 

Lian always acted as she wanted and never cared about the feelings of others. Even his own brother's feelings. All this time Kian always gave up for the happiness of his brother. Even love in his school days, too, must be released when he finds out if Lian also wants the man. 

But this time? Did he also have to sacrifice this time for Lian's wishes? The problem this time was not only the heart he had to sacrifice but also his future.

"Lian is there no other way? Or put it this way, you used to live with your husband. If later I have a way, then we will discuss again," said Kian still continues to convince the brother.

Lian did not answer. 

"After all, if only I would go be Mas Rama's wife, then how are you here? I know what your nature is like. Sooner or later, your father, mother, or grandfather will know who you really are. And our secret will be exposed."

He smiled because he thought if his words were just now, it could change the decision that had been taken by his brother. But apparently not.

"But I can think about it later. The important thing now is that I don't have to go with the family and become Mas Rama's wife" Lian replied and this time managed to make Kian desperate.

Seeing the sister who was just silent, Lian knew that her twin sister was still hesitant to comply with her wishes this time. But Lian's not his name if he can't get what he wants. Even if you have to sacrifice your sister.

Lian stood up straight. Her eyes went around the room and stopped at a pair of scissors on the dresser. The girl quickly picked up the scissors and pointed them at her own chest. 

Seeing it suddenly made the brother who was pensive, soaring in shock. He immediately ran up to the older brother and tried to pull the scissors out of Lian's hand.

"Lian what are you doing? Stopit! Take off these scissors! The danger!" Shouted Kian while continuing to try to pull the sharp object from the brother's hand.

"So. I don't want to. I'd rather die than spend the rest of my life being the wife of someone I don't love" Lian said.

"No Lian. I beg. We can all talk well with Dad. I beg you not to do this kind of crazy thing" persuaded Kian.

"Dad will never listen to me!"

"But he always listens to me, doesn't he? Let me talk to him later. I promise I'll find a way out of this for you."

"There's no way out, Kian. There ain't! The only way out is for you to take my place as Mas Rama's wife" shouted Lian who brought the scissors closer to her chest.

Panic with what was done by the brother made Kian make a decision without thinking.

"All right.. I'll take your place to go to Mas Rama's house. I will take your place as his wife Mas Rama. Are you satisfied?"

Speech from Kian managed to stop the drama performed by Lian. The woman also smiled because again and again her brother who was so innocent that he could easily be fooled.

"Did you promise?" lian asked in a voice that began to calm down.

"Yes I promise" answered Kian with a still roaring breath even though a moment later a drop of water fell in the corner of his eye.

"Please promise me that you won't expose all of our secrets. Because if our secret is exposed, I'll make sure that you find my body right then and there" Lian threatened to return.

"Yes, I promise. Everything's gonna be fine. Relax!"

"Thank you Kian. You are my best brother. I'm really lucky to have a sister like you."

Lian hugged Kian very tightly. Without Kian noticing, Lian smiled cunningly from behind her back.

"Hmm, I'm finally free from your stupid matchmaking. I'm sorry Dad, but your firstborn isn't as dumb as your youngest. Look at! I easily turned the situation around. And after this I'll live happily with Vicky. With or without father's blessing, "inner Lian.
