Fake Wedding Pledge
Chapter 20 The Birthday

Azkira cried remembering her own words. He knew it would be painful for Fathan, but what would it say? Memories of Fathan's treatment always gnawed at Azkira's feelings with pain. Although at the beginning of her marriage, Azkira once said that she would sincerely accept every fate written for her even if it was very bitter and bitter. However, in reality Azkira is just an ordinary human being who can get angry and feel tired.

"Help me, O Owner of the universe. Show me the path I must choose. Because it turns out I was weak in the face of this difficult phase. I'm not as strong as I look." Azkira wailed bitterly complaining of his fate.

On the other hand, in the room there. Fathan is still loyal to his regretful strokes. He continued to feel unwilling if his separation with Azkira really happened. The crumpled face is now a sight that looks on Fathan.

****

Two days later ....

Bright clouds covered the sky after the cloudy and prolonged rain at that time. Azkira was still at his grandmother's house. Meanwhile, Fathan has returned to his home without Azkira. Because, Azkira insisted not to come home together, because he still wanted to stay at Grandma Sinta's house.

"August, Den. The breakfast is ready," said Bi Inah greeting his Master.

"Thank you, Bi. But I'm in a hurry. For Bi Inah just breakfast." Fathan left without waiting.

"What happened to Den Fathan?" gerundal Bi Inah's.

Elsewhere, Revan was preparing to go to Sinta's house. He went there to deliver Azkira's birthday gift, which he had packed a few days ago. Revan's neighboring house with Sinta also makes it not need to travel a long distance and time. Just a few minutes later, Revan was there.

"Grandma!" Revan calls Sinta while knocking on the door.

"Revan ...." Sinta looked at Revan questioningly.

"For Azki, Grandma. It's her birthday, '" Revan said as if understanding Sinta's heart.

"Yes my. You always remember, even Grandma just forgot," said Sinta who then invited Revan to enter.

"Only Bang Revan remembers my birthday." Azkira who accidentally heard the conversation Revan and his Grandma were moved.

A second later, Azkira hugged Revan, who was sitting in the living room. "Thank you, Bang" he said, sobbing.

"Azeki! Are you still here?" ask Revan. Azkira nodded slowly.

Yep! Revan didn't know Azkira was still there. She thought Azkira had gone home to her husband. Just so sudden it made him in disbelief and shocked when he found Azkira who ran into his arms suddenly.

"Why don't you ever talk to Azki? You're mad at me, aren't you?" whinek Azkira spoiled.

Revan winks irregularly. Between joy and nervousness mixed into one. He was happy to see Azkira back as he was. After that, he no longer knew what was going to happen.

"W-who's angry, Azki? Of course you rarely talk to me. You're married now" Revan said.

"Oh, forget it. Where's the gift for me?" Azkira immediately took a gift box that was beautifully packaged with gift wrappers patterned with flowers. The other box he had not taken.

"Can I open it?" continues chatting.

"of course. It's all yours, Azki." Revan's smile continued to expand.

With a happy face, Azkira continued to open the gift. Until finally, the gift was clearly visible before his eyes. "What is this, Bang?" ask Azkira.

"Didn't you ever dream of it? That's why I bought you from saving for a year" Revan explained with a small laugh.

A laptop and some chocolate bars are packed in two different boxes. Azkira did not believe, that Revan still remembered his wish that had been thrown from his mouth first. In fact, at that time Azkira only just origin to talk when expressing his desire to have a laptop. It was unexpected that Revan took that matter seriously.

"Thank you, Bang. Why would you bother spending your savings on this?" Azkira hugged Revan again while crying.

"Do you like the gift?" lontar Revan takes off Azkira's embrace.

"Of course Azki likes it, Bang. Not about the gift, but about the attention of Brother who turned out to be his one-on-one friend who still remembers Azki's birthday."

"really? Didn't her husband know it was Azkira's birthday today?" inner Revan.

They don't realize. There were a pair of eyes watching the two of them. Yes, Fathan was already standing in the doorway with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. The handsome man looked at Azkira and Revan with an uncertain feeling. Maybe he's burning jealous flames. Or maybe he was thinking about something else.

"Son Fathan! Why not go in? Come on over here, son." Sinta who had just appeared with some drinks and food she had brought from the kitchen, immediately greeted Fathan.

Meanwhile, Azkira and Revan are quite surprised by Fathan's presence which they do not know. The two looked at each other in confusion. However, finally from the three people who were both clumsy began to melt the atmosphere.

Fathan came in and went straight to Azkira, giving him a bouquet of flowers in his hand. "I'm sorry, honey. I came a little late" said Fathan who did not hesitate to give a friendly kiss on Azkira's forehead.

Azkira became misbehaved and embarrassed. Especially on Revan who also witnessed that. As for Revan himself, he was only bowed as the scene that tore his heart was unfolding.

Not long after, two couriers came carrying a large birthday cake. Of course, it was Fathan who had ordered it. Smiling Fathan beckoned the cake delivery courier to come in with his order.

"Happy birthday, my wife." Fathan kissed Azkira once more. This time on his lips.

There's something blazing in Revan's chest. It was the fire of jealousy that burned his heart and feelings. What was more painful was that, he could not protest or get angry at Fathan. For Fathan is the lawful husband of Azkira.

Nevertheless, Azkira still showed an awkward attitude and his feet. Instead of being happy, the woman looked uncomfortable when Fathan repeatedly hugged and kissed her. Unlike Fathan who does not care about it. One thing Fathan wanted was to tell anyone that Azkira was his. Only one of his.

****

Fathan brought Azkira home the next night. They are both in the room now. They were both silent and didn't say a word either.

"You still mad at me?" fathan said in the end.

Azkira raised his gaze at Fathan, then shook his head. He was not angry, but angry. The owner of the brown eyes with the lashes, then lowered his head back.

"On the man who has always been there -"

"Name's Revan!" cut Azkira.

"okay! Regarding her .. I will believe you, although still I do not like to see my wife hugged or hugged other men," said Revan while scanning the face of Azkira who refused to look at her.

"Why can't I hug my brother?" ketus Azkira's.

"Because anyway, he's not your older brother, Azki. And believe me, there is no pure friendship between a man and a woman. One of the two must have more feelings than that. And believe it or not, I see love in that man's eyes for you."

"Don't feel the most informed about my life. After all, what if he had love for me? Is that a problem for you? Or... You want everyone to do the same to you to me? No love, usually just cursing, accusing, insulting, demeaning, hurting my feelings without caring, and forcing the will, is that it?" celoteh Azkira.

"Shiiit! Why doesn't he understand my point? Does he not feel my jealousy?" fathan's great-grandson in the heart.

"I'm tired. I want to sleep!" azkira said as she immersed herself in a thick blanket.

"Look at it, Azki! You're gonna sleep or I'm gonna sleep." Fathan muttered while threatening.
