Giving Birth to My Brother
49. Elin is trapped

Ariel knocked on the door of Elin's room as she was about to leave the house, but there was no answer. So, he immediately went down the stairs. Apparently, below he saw Elin sitting in the living room while watching TV. Because Elin is no longer working, Elin is more relaxed now.

"El, we go out first huh," Ariel said goodbye.

Elin looked over for a moment and then nodded. He had already heard that they were going to go see a movie in the cinema tonight, so he was not surprised to see the two of them leave. He looked back at the TV screen and moved the channel.

Ariel was still staring at Elin when Sinta pulled her hand. "You don't sleep too late. If sleepy, just rest in the room," said Ariel reminded.

"Yes." Yeah." Elin replied quietly without looking back. He hadn't even had dinner yet and since they were both gone, it meant that he had to eat alone, he thought.

"Yes, we go first, El. I cooked it if you want to eat," said Sinta. He smiles at Ariel to make sure that he doesn't have to worry about Elin anymore.

"Yes, with the mills" said Elin.

Elin breathed a heavy sigh when she heard the front door shut and soon she also heard the roar of Ariel's car away from the house. Elin no longer tastes watching TV, even the film he is watching feels unpleasant again.

"That's a damn piece," muttered Elin. He decided to keep the TV on while he walked into the dining room. He stared at some of the food prepared by Sinta.

Elin realized, she was quite hungry. However, he was not tasteful enough. So he only ate a little dinner that night. He brought a plate of rice, fried chicken and scrambled vegetables to the front of the TV and ate there. He didn't want to eat alone in a house this big. Especially this night. Somehow, he felt a bit scared when he was also often alone at night.

"What because I just got pregnant so cool," muttered Elin again. He placed his empty plate in the kitchen and decided to return to the room immediately.

In the room, Elin again felt lonely because she knew she was really alone in this house. So, Elin decided to pray and called Mirna. He continued to say words containing many lies on his exit from the company Galang. He was quite amused after talking to Mirna.

Elin fell asleep after minutes of this and that talk with Mirna. Inwardly, he hoped that Ariel and Sinta would come home soon.

Elin wriggled softly, she felt her tummy rumbling since she opened her eyes a few minutes ago. Since he had only eaten a little bit earlier, he was now completely starving. He wanted to fill his stomach, but he was also very sleepy.

"What time is this?" Elin groped her mattress to pick up the phone. "Ah, it's only 1:00 in the morning."

Elin sat down too. He rubbed his stomach. "Baby, we'll eat tomorrow morning."

Elin took a deep breath. His stomach sounded as if responding to his words. "Oh yeah, we eat a little bit and sleep again."

Elin walked out of the room and looked downstairs. All the lights were still as dark as before when he left the first floor. "Silver sister Sinta must have come home."

Elin thought they must have come home because it was past midnight, so she had nothing to fear. He quickly climbed down the stairs and turned on the kitchen lights. He opened the fridge because he wanted to eat a snack. He started eating apples and downing a box of packaged milk. He also cut up Sinta's legit sandwich and began to chew.

Feeling thirsty after eating, Elin poured water into the glass. He began to drink as he listened to the roar of the approaching car.

"Did Ariel just come home?" muttered. Quickly Elin finished drinking water. He wanted to go back to the room because he was lazy to see Ariel and Sinta.

Elin turned off the kitchen lights and immediately left the kitchen. Unfortunately when he arrived at the dining room, he heard the sound of the front door already being closed. He halted his steps as Sinta and Ariel's soft laughter began to sound. His heart started beating wildly, he was really upset that the couple sounded so happy.

"Mas, you don't get this." Sinta's voice sounded.

"You can choose a movie that makes it hot." Elin was listening to Ariel's voice. "I can't stand it, honey."

"So you were taught to the hotel didn't want to. Ah ... Mas! We're in this middle room." Sinta laughed a little and instantly Elin's heart seemed like it was about to explode.

Elin was both surprised and curious, so she peeked behind the dining room wall that was connected to the living room. His mouth agape when he saw Ariel who was without a top was holding Sinta's body on the sofa. He saw Ariel lowering her face to Sinta's face and of course Elin could guess the next scene. Kiss.

Elin did not dare to peek again. He wanted to go back to his room immediately, but both of his legs squeezed until he sat on the floor. After all, if he ran to the stairs he would only interfere with the hot activities of the two people who were burning passion. Elin breathed faster when she heard the sigh after the sigh of Ariel and Sinta.

Elin's tears flowed unapologetically on her face while her body trembled even more. He closed his ears tightly, but he could still hear the joyful cry of Sinta. Elin had no idea how long he had sat behind the wall of the dining room. But it feels like years.

"Mas, have it, we go to the room," Sinta told Ariel who had just kissed her lips after their sudden heat struggle.

"Yes, budar. I'm thirsty, aren't you thirsty, honey?" ask Ariel.

"Lumayan. I'll get you some water." Sinta tried to push Ariel's body from above her.

"You're here, you must be tired. I'll take it for you. You want a cold one, right?" ariel asked as she came down from above Sinta's body. He put his trousers back on and picked up the singlet from the floor.

"Yes, cold water, Mas" replied Sinta.

Ariel nodded. He put on his singlet while walking towards the kitchen. He walked through the dining room without realizing Elin was behind the wall. Ariel turned on the kitchen lights and opened the fridge. He took a canned drink and gulped it down quickly. Not to forget he took cold mineral water for Sinta.

Ariel closed the refrigerator door and walked back. He stopped his steps when he arrived next to the dining table because now, he only saw the existence of Elin who was curled up on the floor and leaning against the wall. Ariel's heart was about to explode right now. Moreover, he clearly saw tears on Elin's face. Elin looked so hurt in front of him.

"Elin," he called her nervous. If Elin had been here since then, it means that Elin just caught herself making love to Sinta. Elin probably heard all her rapprochement with Sinta and Elin being hurt because of it. Guilt struck Ariel's heart instantly.

"El, since when are you here?" tanyakanya.
