Fake Wedding Pledge
CHAPTER 41 Under the Same Sky

After a long and convincing conversation, Azkira finally wanted to be invited back home by Fathan. They say goodbye to Sinta, who looks happy to see the couple get along again. After all, they should have stayed together, right?!

As the minutes passed, Fathan, who was no less happy, immediately carried Azkira and led her to the room, when they had arrived home. "Look, Honey! The bed is already very longing for you to occupy," said Fathan while walking towards the bed.

Azkira merely commented a thin smile and looked at Fathan full of analysis. "Is that really so?" tanyakanya.

"of course. Do I look like I'm lying?" Fathan sat on the lip of the bed embracing Azkira.

Then, Fathan stroked Azkira's stomach which still looked the same, flat and almost imperceptible that there was a growing fetus in his womb. "Did he bother his mother?" ask Fathan.

"No, he is very understanding" Azkira replied with a smile.

"Smart kid," Fathan praised as he stroked Azkira's stomach faster.

"I still miss you, dear" whispered Fathan.

"I'm with you, Bang."

"I want to spend a long night with you. Hugging you and embracing your body in a warm and soft caress," pleaded Fathan as he continued to put small touches on Azkira's body.

Azkira did not budge. "We're going to spend the night together, even if we don't do anything, Bang. I'm really tired right now."

"So I can't do it anymore?" fathan said with a disappointed face.

"Not not allowed, Bang. It's just, I need a break to rest. Isn't there something I should take care of" Azkira reasoned while stroking her stomach.

"You're right, honey. All right, I'll give in to our son," resigned Fathan who also gave his gentle strokes on the stomach Azkira.

"Let's just sleep," continued Fathan who immediately enveloped Azkira's body and also himself."

At Revan's parents' house. Nurhayati was sitting pensively. Gunawan, his father Revan approached his wife.

"It's been 20 years since we adopted Revan from the orphanage. It still feels the same, yes, sir. Mother still feels that Revan is still a 5-year-old child. Seeing him leave the house, I couldn't sleep well every night" Nurhayati said as Gunawan sat next to her.

"Yes, Mom. You feel the same way, but we have to accept that fact, Mom. Revan is now an adult. He has the right to make choices for his life and his future."

"Yes, Sir. I just want Revan to be happy. Although he is not our biological child, but for Mother .... Revan was more than anything. 7 years ago before we moved here, Revan always told me I wanted to have a sister. And we can't make it happen. Until finally, we move here and Revan gets to know Azkira. From then on he stopped whining again. He loved Azkira more than himself. As she grows up, Revan's affection turns into another feeling. Even though, his feelings clap one hand." Nurhayati keeps talking about Revan, who is not her real son.

"Patience, Mom. Time will change everything. After all, Azkira still loves Revan as her brother. He does not reciprocate Revan's love, because Revan has never expressed his feelings. I'm sure, if Revan had been more courageous to confess to Azkira, surely everything would not be like this" he said.

"Father's right. But, how else? Rice has become porridge." Nurhayati breathed deeply.

"Yes already. Mom rest first. Revan will be anxious if you know you lack rest" suggested Gunawan.

"Yes, sir." Both of them slept while talking.

In another space, Revan was standing staring into the sky. Watching the scattered and innumerable stars, like his longing for Azkira. "At least, we are still under the same sky, Azki. Although now is our time to be together like before, there are only dreams perched in my head."

"Van, you're not sleeping?" ask Ari, her professional friend.

"I'm not sleepy yet. You just sleep first" said Revan who was still cool looking at the night sky.

Revan immediately approached Ari. "What do you want to show me?" tanyanya.

"See the girl in this photo. She's very simple, but she's amazingly beautiful" Ari said.

Revan's eyes were wide. "Where did you get this photo?" jolt Revan who suddenly looks angry.

"Why do you seem to want to swallow me?" ari said confusedly.

"Say! Where did you get this photo?" urge Revan.

"I was just told by someone. At that time, one of my friends was given the task to tease the girl, and I took the picture," Ari explained with his funds

"How is my friend now? He said he was caught by someone who worked at the famous restaurant. Meanwhile, I can get away with all the accusations," continued Ari again.

"Do you know who the girl in the picture is?" Revan gritted his teeth.

"Where do I know. I was just told to shoot the scene, and I got paid, with an agreement that I wouldn't be involved if something happened after that."

BUGH!

A bogeman lands perfectly on Ari's cheek. "He is Azkira. The woman I love most after my mother. You made it a fall for your greed. Now I know, the reason why Azkira decided to stop working. He really needs that job. This must be all a result of your actions!" Revan eventually realizes everything that happened to Azkira, although Azkira himself never told him about the case he had experienced in the place where he worked at that time.

Ari grimaced in pain. "I'm sorry, Revan. Really, I didn't know she was the girl I loved." Ari pleads with Revan not to hit him again.

"If he's a nobody, do you still have the heart to do that disgusting thing, huh? What if it happens to your sister or someone you care about? You're outrageous, Ari!" caci Revan's.

"I'm so sorry, Revan. I won't repeat it again."

"Now also remove all the photos from your camera memory. If not, I'll send you to jail!" threaten Revan's.

"Don't do it, Revan. All right, I'll remove all traces of it. Don't be angry anymore. Really, I'm sorry." Soon Ari wiped out all the remaining photo traces.

"Definitely Azki was having a hard time when it happened to her. Forgive Brother, Azki. If only you had told it to Brother," muttered Revan with eyes that began to condense.

In a faraway place, just outside the city. Antoni was busy contacting someone. He looks very serious.

[Please find out about the children who are there or who have come out of the orphanage. I'll send you a photo of a child's face, as capital to help with the search you and your men are doing!]

[Good, Sir. All as your orders.] I heard an answer from someone on the other end of the phone. Antoni ended his phone conversation.

Now, the middle-aged man was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at a photo. Yeah, it was a little Azkira photo with Adnan, his missing brother.

"I promise you, Shita, Danu. I promise to keep looking for Adnan until we meet. Like you asked, before you left us forever." Antoni spoke on a portrait of the faces of his late friends, who were none other than Azkira's parents.

Connect ....

Don't forget to leave a trace, yeah. 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨
