Giving Birth to My Brother
47. Elin Heartache

Day after day passed in Elin's life. Does not feel the age of the womb has entered 16 weeks. The last time she checked, the sex of her baby was still unknown. However, the tiny creature continued to grow in his stomach.

Elin was very curious because every time she looked in the mirror, her stomach still looked flat only the lower part was slightly different. He also has not felt any movement in his stomach even though Doctor Ridwan said the baby can move actively.

Elin was so happy every time she did the examination. Of course, because Ariel also looks happy. Ariel even clasped her hands when Doctor Ridwan said things related to her womb. What makes Elin pounding is, Ariel becomes more frequent touching her stomach. Of course Ariel did that when they were just the two of them.

"I'm a laper" muttered Elin that night. He had tried to sleep, but he really could not close his eyes. He had gone through a period of nausea and vomiting and became more frequent want to eat. Ariel does not get tired of asking her what she wants to eat and always brings something for her every time she comes home from work.

Elin suddenly remembered the doughnut Ariel bought after work. Because it is not exhausted, he keeps it in the refrigerator. He decided to go down to the kitchen to get some food. However, his steps came to a halt when he arrived near the kitchen door. He just saw Ariel hugging Sinta in the kitchen and they kissed.

Elin closed her lips with her palm when she saw Ariel pushing Sinta's body docked to the counter, then kissed her again with heat. Quickly, Elin flipped over and ran up the stairs. He opened the door and sat on the floor with his heart pounding. He had often seen Ariel embracing or giving Sinta a good morning kiss, but he had never seen Ariel kissing Sinta that hot.

"Oh, my goodness," he said trembling. He lowered his head as his tears trickled down without excuse. It turned out to be so painful to see Ariel's closeness with Sinta.

Elin ignored her hunger and lay back down. He was still crying when he hugged his roll. He couldn't lie to himself that he so longed for Ariel's whereabouts here in his room. Sometimes, Ariel did come to her room, but nothing more than greeting or chatting for a moment or fingering her stomach alone.

While Sinta, no longer showing excessive jealousy to her, because she had not experienced severe nausea, Ariel also rarely showed attention in front of Sinta again. Very different from Ariel's blatant attitude when pampering Sinta in front of him.

And tonight, it feels like the worst for Elin. But what can he do? Should he protest? Or should he endure the pain alone as he always does?

"5 months away," muttered Elin between sobs, "I'll get out of here."

***

The next day, Elin was really not excited for breakfast. He is still lying on the bed until 6:00 when he usually will have breakfast with Ariel and Sinta. After seeing the hot kiss scenes of Ariel and Sinta, he felt heavy to see them again.

Geck! Geck!

Elin shook her head when she heard a knock and the door suddenly opened from outside. He only raised his head slightly to see Sinta enter his room.

"Aren't you having breakfast?" ask Sinta while sitting on the edge of Elin's bed.

"Later on, Ma'am. I'm still sleepy" said Elin. He no longer looked at Sinta. The shadow of how Sinta embraced and welcomed Ariel's kiss was reflected in Elin's mind. It really hurt her heart.

"I'll cook your favorite chicken porridge, it'll be cold. Wash your face first there," said Sinta.

Elin immediately scolded. He has been holding his hunger since last night and now he is really tempted by the chicken porridge offered by Sinta.

"Where's my brother?" ask Elin.

"Not down. Most darn again. Why?"

"No papa," answered Elin quickly. He doesn't know how to deal with Ariel if he has to see her this morning.

"Yes, let's go down. I'm ready for your breakfast, "persuade Sinta again.

Elin just nodded. He wanted to stay in the room, at least until Ariel left for work, he thought to himself. However, his stomach suddenly rang loudly. Ah, the baby must be hungry too, she thought again.

With a heavy heart, Elin went into the toilet. He washes his face when he wakes up and prays at dawn. However, he still washed his face to look fresher even though he had not yet taken a shower. While looking in the mirror, he looked at his reflection. Was she not pretty enough in front of Ariel? Since Sinta always looks beautiful every morning and evening when Ariel leaves and comes home from work, could it be that she needs to dress up?

Elin immediately came out of the toilet as she did not want to think about those things anymore. With a lazy step, he left his room. However, his steps came to a halt as his two eyes caught the figure of Ariel who was also coming out of his room.

"Morning, El," said Ariel to the frozen Elin.

"Yes." Yeah." Both of Elin's eyes were fixed on Ariel's pair of red lips. The lips were so fiercely kissing Sinta last night, she thought bitterly.

"You why? You nauseous?" ariel asked as she approached.

"I'm not papa." Elin immediately ran down the stairs. Well, actually he was so nauseous to imagine the kiss Ariel and Sinta. He could not deny that his heart was envious. He wanted those lips, too, for her.

"Be careful!" ariel shouted as she saw Elin running away from her. He quickened his pace when he realized that morning Elin looked very different. Usually Elin would smile, but this morning Elin was so stiff and a bit gluttonous.

"Morning, Honey!" ariel's greeting to Sinta. Sinta had just brought 3 bowls of chicken porridge to the table. And as usual, Ariel embraces Sinta and gives a kiss on her cheek.

Elin clasped her spoon tightly. He did not realize that his breathing had gone up and down since. If he is not hungry, he will choose to leave. Unfortunately, he was also very hungry.

"Mas, tomorrow night there is a new movie in the cinema, we watch yuk," asked Sinta.

Ariel looked at Sinta and nodded. "What time is it?"

"It's like 7:00 p.m., Mas. But I haven't checked yet" replied Sinta.

Ariel just nodded. He glanced at Elin who was eating quickly as if he did not care that the porridge in his bowl was still quite hot. "Slowly eat it, you will choke" said Ariel reminded. He poured water into Elin's glass and shifted it closer to Elin. "Drink first."

"Yes, thank you," said Elin flatly. Elin took a sip of the water and then returned to eating quickly. His stomach suddenly nausea, either because he ate too fast or because he was fed up with Ariel and Sinta.

Elin knows, Ariel and Sinta often travel together like a new couple dating, either to watch the cinema together or just a walk or shopping.

"You why? You sick?" ariel asked when she realized Elin's face was flushed.

Elin shook her head. "Just nauseous, I'm going to the room."

Elin stood up quickly. He left the dining room and made Ariel wonder in her heart. Why did his sister suddenly act like that.

"Let's go, Mas. It was also bad to wake up he said still sleepy," said Sinta when Ariel stood up and was about to catch up with Elin. "You don't have to worry so much about Elin, Mom."

"But he's a little weird today. He's angry with me" said Ariel.

"Why should you be angry? You're not wrong with him." Sinta persuades Ariel to sit back.

"I want to ask a question with Elin, I don't want her to why," said Ariel.

Sinta took a deep breath. "Yes, it's up to you." Sinta put on a sullen look next to Ariel.

Seeing his wife wash her lips, Ariel sat back down. "No, you'll ask Elin if she has any more problems. Okay?"

"OKAY. Just relax, Mom." Sinta smiled with satisfaction. He has been kind to Elin lately, but he still does not want Ariel to pay more attention to Elin.
