Giving Birth to My Brother
17. Lunch with the Galang

Sinta woke up with her eyes that morning. He was quite shocked when suddenly Ariel hugged him in bed at midnight. She did not ask her husband anything because she was already very sad with the first night that Ariel had to go through.

"Mas, I'm ready to get dressed" Sinta said as Ariel came out of the bathroom and opened her closet.

"Oh, yeah. Thank you, dear," said Ariel while receiving a white shirt handed out by Sinta.

Sinta watched Ariel get dressed so she could see the scratches on Ariel's wide back. As soon as his heart pounded even harder, Ariel and Elin would have already done that, he thought. Sinta tried to smile as she put on Ariel's tie as usual.

"I'm sorry, honey," Ariel said as she rubbed Sinta's face.

"You don't have to apologize, Mom. I know this is all just a deal," Sinta said as soon as possible. "We hope that this plan will be successful soon."

Ariel nodded. He didn't know how many times he had to fuck Elin, was once enough? Ariel already felt very bad for Sinta because she shared her night and body with another woman. However, he was also guilty of Elin who had offered her virginity. Elin might just be able to find another man who was much better than her. Now, he feels guilty if he remembers what he did last night.

"Mas, are you daydreaming?" ask Sinta.

"No, no" replied Ariel. "I want to check the files first make it to the office. You ... You made me coffee."

"OKAY. I'll bake some bread" said Sinta.

Sinta left her room and was about to prepare breakfast. Downstairs, Elin was already sitting at the dining table with her hands hugging her favorite cup of warm tea. They met face to face and Sinta threw a smile.

"Morning, El. You are so happy with breakfast. I just want to bake some bread" said Sinta.

"Yes, Mother. I just want to ngeteh. I had breakfast at the office" said Elin.

"Lho, not you off," said Sinta who yesterday heard that Elin asked permission to Galang by phone.

"Not so, Ma'am. I still have an important project. This I want to take to the office to be curated with Mr. Galang." Elin stood up when the tea was over. He followed Sinta into the kitchen and noticed how Sinta prepared breakfast for Ariel.

Elin wet her lips, now she is also Ariel's wife. However, he does not know how to behave because Sinta already handles all including Ariel's breakfast and coffee. Well, he doesn't need to do that because he's married not to play the role of a wife.

"Aren't you going to resign?" sinta asked as she pulled out the bread from the grill.

"No, Ma'am. Later if I've been the same as my last writing," replied Elin. Elin rinsed off the cup she used to drink tea and placed it on the shelf.

"Morning, Honey!"

Elin wiped her hands quickly when she saw Ariel coming in the kitchen. As usual, Ariel gives a kiss on Sinta's cheek and embraces her affectionately. Ariel did not look at Elin in the slightest until Elin felt a pain in her heart. Hurriedly, Elin picked up her bag that was on the dining table.

"Sir, I go first" said Elin.

"okay."

Elin heard the voices of Ariel and Sinta. With quick steps, Elin left the house. He presses the order button on the online ojek application on his phone and stands near the gate of Ariel's house. He hopes half-dead so that the online taxi order will come soon. Luckily, the sound of the motor suddenly sounded, Elin went up to the bonbar.

Along the way Elin tried to shake off his jealousy when he saw Ariel's morning intimacy with Sinta. She had seen the scene a lot, but it felt that after she officially became Ariel's wife, she felt even more hurt. He also gets Ariel's kiss and kiss last night, they even have an intimate union, but considering it makes Elin feel really hurt because Ariel ignored him earlier.

Elin rubbed her wet face suddenly. He convinced himself he could get through this. Only a year or maybe sooner if she gets pregnant soon. That's not long!

"I've read your script" Galang said as he called Elin in his office. "It's good, like I said before. Your script has potential. But the initial scene may have to be revised so that the flow of Surya and Citra meeting faster. So the delivery to the audience can be direct greget."

Elin nodded slowly hearing Galang review the script. He had sent the manuscript early in the morning before breakfast by email. As usual, I read it quickly.

"Free, scene number 29 equals 34 that I think is less relevant. So my suggestion that scene could be replaced. Try to reread the next scene or you can think of another idea," said Galang completed his review.

"Thank you, Sir. I still have a lot of shortcomings" said Elin.

"No, just a little less. You're done fast, who knows in a few months we can do the movie together." Galang nodded confidently at Elin who was just frozen in place. "Why? Are you sure about your abilities?"

"Yes, we had lunch together. That was you did not come," said Galang while glancing at the clock on his arm.

"okay." Elin agreed. "I am also a laper."

Galang smiled. He turned his chin towards the door and went out first. Elin walked behind him in a bit of confusion as no one from his team stood up or joined or was invited by Galang.

"Hopefully succeed, sir!"

Elin heard Mirna speaking to Galang while raising her fist. Suddenly, Elin approached Mirna's table.

"Aren't you at lunch with Mr Galang?" ask Elin.

"No. I think Mr. Galang wants to both be with you," said Mirna.

Elin frowned. "What the hell. Seriously deh. I don't feel good eating alone. That was why you gave the same spirit as Mr Galang?"

"Cryption! I was waiting for that." Mirna pushed Elin's shoulder so that she immediately caught up with Galang.

Want to not want to, Elin also ran towards Galang. "I thought we were going to have lunch together, sir."

"No, but not just the two of us. You calm down" said Galang.

Elin sped up the pace to match Galang. "Who would you like to eat with, sir?"

"Later you know too. I want to know you as someone. The important man!"

Elin glared perfectly. He suddenly tidied his hair and clothes because he was worried that Galang would bring him together with the editor of a major publisher. Galang once told him that he also had a chance to publish his book. In addition to writing a film script, Elin also occasionally wrote novels.

By car, Galang took Elin to a restaurant. He immediately invited Elin as soon as they came down. "Come, we've been waiting for."

"Who the hell is it, Mas?" ask Elin. As Galang requested, when he was alone he would call Galang that way.

"Later to know."

Elin and Galang were greeted by a servant at the entrance and Galang said that he had made a pact with someone. So they went straight up to the second floor which was quieter than the first floor.

"Groof!" call a woman who stands up from her seat. The woman waved at Galang, but both of her eyes were fixed on Elin from earlier.

"That's my mama" Galang told Elin when they were close enough to the woman's table.

"What?" asked Elin in shock. He stopped his steps because he did not understand why he had to meet the mother of Galang.

"Come, I know my mother" said Galang. He gently pulled Elin's hand. "No papa."

Elin had no choice, let alone Galang holding his hand tightly. Elin tried to smile at Galang's mother, although she still could not digest the situation.

"Sorry late, Ma. It was a bit jammed earlier," Galang told his mother.

"Hello, Auntie," said Elin greeting Galang's mother.

"So this is the girl you used to tell me about, Lang?" ask Galang's mother. He did not stop smiling at Elin who was sitting awkwardly next to Galang.

"What's? What's the story, Auntie?" asked Elin in shock.

"This mama, acquaintance first," said Galang while pouring water into the glass Elin. "This is my mother, her name is Goddess. And this is Elin, Ma. Actually, she's the girl I used to tell Mama."

Elin took a deep breath. It doesn't feel right, he thought.

"Ehm, that. It's pretty. Mama likes," commented the Goddess without letting go of a smile. He closed his body to the table until he could get a closer look at Elin. Feeling stared more closely, Elin also became twice as pounding. "So, when are you going to have a serious relationship?"
