BEING THE WIFE OF HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW
CHAPTER 40. TALK TO SAMIR

In the morning at a cafe that is still not too crowded visitors, two people are sitting while daydreaming. They are Kian and Samir. Kian has told everything to his friend about what really happened.

"So this is all Lian's plan?" muttered Samir.

"Yes" answered Kian.

"And you want to obey that crazy girl?"

"I have no other choice. Lian threatened me if until I didn't want to comply with all her wishes she would hurt herself."

"And do you believe that he would do that?"

"Yes I believe" answered Kian surely.

"Clearned Kian. He was just bluffing. He couldn't have done that. He couldn't have hurt himself. Especially to finish his own life."

"No Samir. You don't know. He's done something like this before."

"You mean?" samir did not understand.

"Lian once nearly ended her life because she felt like dad was being unfair to her. He said that my father always obeyed my wishes but not his."

"What did he really want then?" ask the man again.

"A motor," answered Kian and Samir just smiled wryly.

"Then now, why doesn't he threaten suicide in front of your father if your father doesn't approve of his relationship with his girlfriend?"

"He did that once. But for this one, dad was really stubborn. Or maybe you're tired of Lian's whining. I don't know. It's just that, for this matter, dad gave her a choice. Married to Mas Rama or removed from the list of family members. And Lian doesn't want that to happen."

"Of course he won't want to be fired from family members. All this time the source of his income was his family, right?" ask Samir. Kian nodded.

Samir and Kian fell silent again. Both of them could only play around the straws that were inside the drinks they had ordered. Samir thought this was the answer to all his questions.

He knew at the wedding of his two friends that he did not come directly. But at that time he had seen their wedding photos and Samir was sure if the one who was married to Rama and legitimately became his wife was Lian. But why yesterday at the company's birthday party that appeared was actually Kian?

Samir does not think how Lian can be so cruel as to do something that can destroy the future of his own twin sister for the satisfaction of his heart. The woman had gone completely insane, Samir thought.

"When do you want to do this? Pretending to be Lian in front of Rama, Grandpa Bimo is even in front of everyone?" ask Samir.

"I don't know" replied Kian.

"You don't go crazy. You can't forever pretend to be someone else and spend your life living with someone else's husband."

Just shut up. He really could not answer the question of his friend.

"You have a life of your own, Kian. You have your own future. You also need your own marriage and to live with your own family, your own husband and maybe your own children" Samir said.

"But I really don't know Samir. I really don't know" replied Kian desperately.

"Aren't you planning to say all this to Grandpa Bimo, Rama or to your own family maybe?" ask Samir again. Kian shook his head.

"You're really out of your mind, Kian," said Samir frustrated. He realized that if Kian continued to play his role like this, it meant that during that time he would not be able to come forward to propose to the girl who became his first love.

"Today I met your family" Samir reopened the conversation.

"Then?" ask Kian. He looked up again to look at the face of the friend.

"I asked where Kian was and they said it's been over two months, Kian doesn't live with them anymore. He said Kian went to work out of town and lived there" Samir said.

"Yes, they're right" Kian replied. Again and again he tried to cover up all the lies created by his twin brother. Samir smiled wryly.

"You don't have to lie anymore to cover up Lian's lies" Samir replied.

"What do you mean?" ask Kian.

"A few weeks ago I saw Lian sitting in a cafe near the city border. And he was having a romance with a man I just found out is his girlfriend" Samir said. 

"You seen Lian?" ask Kian again.

"Yes. I just drove Rama to see a client and on the way I saw the incident."

"Did Mas Rama see it too?" tanya Kian was agitated.

"Calm down. He didn't see it" Samir replied and Kian let out a sigh of relief.

"Is it true that you know all this?" ask the man again.

"I.Yes.." Answer the doubt.

"I guessed it."

Samir smiled wryly again with his head shaking. He really could not believe that Kian could have done this far just to bring happiness to his twin brother.

"I honestly know that he doesn't live out of town. But until now I've never seen him again. From that day on when she came home to say goodbye, I really didn't know anything else about Lian. How things are going, whether healthy or not, happy or not, I really don't know. Lian always refused my phone calls and never once returned the messages I sent her" Kian explained. This time he broke the silence.

"What do you see? Is Lian healthy?" ask Kian again. Samir looked at Kian for a while.

"Samir," called Kian who managed to resuscitate the man from his daydream.

"Yes…"

"How's Lian doing?" ask Kian again.

"I don't know. At that time I was far enough away from him. But if I look at it with a glance it seems like she is very happy living with her lover," Samir replied indifferently.

"Thank God if Lian's okay," Kian replied with a sigh of relief.

Samir continued to look at the woman sitting in front of him. The woman he loved long ago. A woman who has been his dream since the beginning of her life knows love. He really did not understand whether this woman had a trait that was too good or too stupid?
