FOREVER HATE YOU'S
67. Derogate

Brianna has heard what Zach's decision is regarding his wedding plans with Arthur. To that end, he tries to prevent Zach from actually beating Arthur like he heard.

Brianna didn't really have the heart to see Arthur feel the torture from her sister. Although he knew Arthur was willing to be treated by Zach like that for the blessing he wanted, but of course Brianna was not that cruel to let it go.

If you follow her ego, then Brianna feels Arthur deserves retribution from Zach related to his actions on Brianna so far. But, somehow if it's discussed now Brianna really not strong heart to let Arthur be beaten.

For this reason, he waited for Zach to come home to be able to talk to his younger brother in order to think about other conditions that Arthur can do for his blessing. At the very least, Brianna was about to temper Zach's anger for this.

"Milk ..." Finally Zach came home after Brianna waited for him long enough.

Zach is surprised because the one who welcomes him back to the Apartment is not Flo, but his brother. He could guess why Brianna was going to see him.

"You want to negotiate with me?" ask Zach to the point.

Brianna looked down her head, she was wondering what she should tell Zach.

"Sit down first, I want to talk to you with a cold heart."

"Even to begin with, my heart is already burning" Zach's circus.

Brianna smiled wryly. "Zach, for whatever reason .. I don't blame you if you hate Arthur so much" he began.

Zach sat down in front of Brianna, waiting for what other words his brother would say.

"Then?" ask Zach.

"I realize you hate Arthur so much because of me. If I had been closed to you, didn't tell you who destroyed me, maybe you'd have accepted Arthur without looking him one eye."

Zach chuckles in miris. "So you're sorry you told me that guy's rottenness?" he said he did not think.

Brianna approached Zach, clutching his little brother's fingers. "Anyway, it's about me, Zach. I can forgive him so I hope you will accept it too" he said.

Zach grunting. "No, before I beat him to satisfaction" he said.

"Zach .. finish this off as a grown man. You're no longer a labile teenager who gets things done by violence."

"I don't care." Zach threw his face away, not wanting to see the face of his brother who looked begging in front of him.

"Zach .. This is my choice. I've chosen it."

Now Zach is laughing. "You fell in love with her? Are there no other men in the world? You got like this in front of me, Bri. I don't think with this attitude of yours, only for the sake of him who has destroyed you, you are willing to be like this, ah! You should have realized, before you regret it!" Zach passed from Brianna's presence after uttering a sentence that showed his disappointment.

Brianna was stunned to see Zach leave. He knew it all started from him who also instilled a grudge in Zach's heart against a man named Arthur Mattews.

"Bri, let's have a drink first" said Flo who suddenly appeared while bringing a glass of orange juice to Brianna.

"You hear everything?" guess Brianna looked at Flo.

Flo nodded, unwilling to refuse. Although she had no intention of hearing the conversation between her husband and sister-in-law, but their Apartment was too small to not hear the loud debate that had just occurred between them. Maybe Zach and Brianna's conversation reached the neighboring apartment.

"I don't mean to mix it up," Flo said staring concernedly at Brianna.

"If you don't mind, I'll talk to him later. Can I persuade him? Even though this seems to interfere in your affairs?" ask Flo carefully.

Brianna told the beautiful woman. "You seriously want to persuade him? I thought he'd hear your opinion as his wife, so it doesn't matter to me. You're not interfering in our business, because you're part of our family, Flo, too" Brianna said.

Flo stroked Brianna's shoulder. "I'll work on it. I don't think Zach could have committed a heinous act on Arthur, because if he had, he would have done it since Arthur admitted to marrying you on civil records back then.

...****************...

"Milk ..." Flo approached her husband who appeared to be smoking on the balcony of the apartment. Zach is not an active smoker, but he will do the activity occasionally while his mind and heart are not fine.

Zach didn't answer Flo's call, he just took a quick glance at the woman.

"I'm sorry if I meddle with your and Brianna's problems. I just want to be the mediator between you guys" Flo began.

Zach puffed his cigarette smoke forward, without looking at his wife.

"Have you ever thought that this problem was similar to our domestic problems?"

Zach is grating slowly. Of course he knows what Flo's gonna mean here.

"Is it so hard for you to approve them, Zach? They just want to get married. Isn't that a good thing?"

Zach remained silent. But he listened to Flo's words carefully.

"You know for sure what it's like to have a marriage with no blessing, so---"

"Don't associate Arthur with our wedding, Flo!" sela Zach won't take it.

"I'm not hooking up, but I just want you to judge by what you've been up to." Flo hugs Zach's arm from the side. They both looked straight ahead. "Marriage without blessing is not easy, and you know for sure about it. Reflecting on you, Brianna does not want the wedding later also like us," he continued.

"I didn't approve of their marriage because Arthur used to be cruel to ruin Brianna's life, Flo. Unlike me who does not get the blessing of your family because I'm just a poor man."

"Yes, you're right" Flo replied steadily. "Then learn from it, dear. We should not complicate the good intentions of others. Brianna has forgiven Arthur, why can't you do the same? Maybe after you can make this situation clear, all our affairs will also be made easier," he continued.

Zach speechless. She knows very well how her marriage and Flo have not been approved until now. The mistake was to love the rich man's son and to marry him, no matter if at that time he had just graduated school. Love makes everything, makes it defy the obstacles that are felt to hinder it.

Flo's words are right, he should reflect on his own experience that marriage without blessing is not easy. One of their tests after desperate marriage is not to get the trust of the Power to get offspring, even though they have done many ways during 3 years of marriage.

Sometimes Zach thinks, maybe this has something to do with his past actions, so he shouldn't complicate Brianna and Arthur's goodwill as his wife says.

"Maybe when you mengikhlaskan something, all good things will begin to surround you."

Zach turned to Flo who was now resting his head on his shoulders. He knew that there was a lot of revenge inside him. Maybe true what Flo said, it's appropriate that he mengikhlaskan all, take off the grudge that he had been fostering in his heart and instead make it his own burden for him.

"Our marriage wasn't easy, Zach. Therefore, don't make someone else's marriage as easy as the one we live, let alone this is your own brother's marriage."

This is what makes Zach love Flo so much, every word spoken by the woman seemed able to open the eyes of her closed heart, as well as realize all the mistakes she almost did.
