Giving Birth to My Brother
60. Suspicious Galang

After bathing and praying Elin was dressed thinly. It would be a walk with Ariel, so her sleepiness that had originally dominated her eyes instantly disappeared. She applied a thin lipstick to her lips and stood up to pick up a small bag.

"Udah?" ask Ariel.

"Udah. Yuk!"

Ariel extended her hand which was greeted by Elin. With Ariel in tow, Elin leaves her room, their room. Elin's smile did not fade that early, until they arrived at a tavern for breakfast. Elin orders pancakes and mango juice while Ariel orders croissants and black coffee.

"Died here last night again" Ariel said. He looked at the adorable Elin while eating. The pancakes on his plate had ludes and his mango juice was still half a glass.

"Eh." Elin nodded. He knows the direction of Ariel's conversation. Ariel must have wanted to take him home. "May I contract a house? You can come by sometime if you want. I'm not gonna run away."

"We should have 1 roof" said Ariel. He sipped his coffee a little. "I'm worried if you live outside on your own."

Elin stirred her juice with a straw. "Mbak Sinta definitely does not accept that I like Big Brother. He warned me not to use feelings when we were married. I don't want to be a traitor, but I can't lie to my own feelings either."

"I told you the same Sinta. He wants you to go home" said Ariel.

Elin bit her tongue. She understood, Sinta must be afraid she will take the baby away. Not only was he a traitor, he lied. And now, he also craved Ariel. Inwardly, Elin hoped the next 5 months Ariel's heart would choose her. It's probable. Doshe her? Is it wrong if he wants to take Ariel like this?

Elin shook her head slowly to brush off the crazy desire in her mind. Ariel doesn't even love her. He won't be able to take Ariel from Sinta. It can't be like that.

"What do you think?" ask Ariel.

"No, no" replied Elin. He took a sip of the juice and then picked up a crescent-shaped cake on Ariel's plate. "Enak too. Can we talk about this later? Don't we want to go for a walk?"

"OKAY. It's up to you" Ariel replied with a smile.

They finished their breakfast and began to walk around the store. That morning because it was the weekend, there were some tourists who came to Nareswari island. In the park is even quite crowded, as well as the beach.

Elin stretched her hand to the left right, she smiled widely as the shadow of her and herself running around on this beach reverberated. He looked at Ariel.

"I want to run around here" he said.

"Don't you just got pregnant. You will be tired" Ariel warned. He rubbed Elin's face so she wouldn't frown. He knew Elin was a very active girl and could not stand to be silent. "We went for a walk in the water. Take off his shoes."

"okay!" Elin doesn't want to lose a moment with Ariel. He immediately took off his shoes and approached the water. He laughed as the cold water hit his open legs.

"I forgot I promised you to come to this beach alone" said Ariel.

Elin laughed again. "I'm smiling Brother finally sings the same promise Brother."

"It took 9 years to make it happen. It's not on your birthday either" Ariel said.

Elin laughed a little. He hugged Ariel's arm and landed his head there. Luckily the morning sun was not so hot. So, he was not hot enough under the open sky.

Elin smiled broadly as soon as Ariel let go of the kiss. He was still unsure of Ariel's feelings for her, but he was happy enough like this as long as he could get the attention of Ariel, maybe everything would be fine. After all, he had been used to enduring his pain all this time.

"Let's go over there, we'll go get some ice cream." Ariel pointed to an ice cream parlor not far from the beach. Although it was still morning, Elin nodded in agreement.

Elin sat on the chair provided by the shop while waiting for Ariel who was ordering ice cream. He just opened his phone which he turned off a few days ago. Of course there are a lot of messages coming in. From his mother, his father, Gladis and some of his friends are also Ariel himself.

"We'll see you again!"

Elin looked up when she saw Galang's presence. This time Galang was seen together with 2 men. Elin gasped and stood up.

"Ehm, hello, sir." Elin stared at Galang's friend in turn. They throw each other smiles.

"This is Elin, he used to work as a scriptwriter in my office," Galang said introducing Elin to 2 friends.

"Greetings." Elin nodded and greeted the two of them.

"We just had breakfast. I will take some scenes on this island and he will both be the person in charge" Galang said.

"Oh, yeah. Good luck, sir," said Elin.

Galang. He almost said goodbye to Elin when he saw Ariel emerge from behind the glass door with a tray containing 2 bowls of ice cream. They looked. Galang was a bit surprised because Elin said she was here with her husband while Ariel was obviously Elin's sister. While Ariel who was already upset that she saw Elin with Galang last night only smiled wryly, she was not aware that Galang was looking at her suspiciously.

"It's your ice cream, El," said Ariel, putting a bowl of ice cream in front of Elin.

"Yes, thank you." Elin looked at Galang in panic, he did not want to be found to have more relationship with Ariel. Moreover, Galang knew she was pregnant.

"How are you, Galang?" ask Ariel.

"Thank God be good, Mas. You guys vacation together?" ask Galang.

"Yes" replied Ariel.

"No" replied Elin along with Ariel. He swallowed hard because his answer was not in unison with Ariel. Of course, it would invite a question in Galang's heart, thought Elin. Especially now that Galang is staring at him. "Ah, in fact Brother Ariel came here with his wife. We're on vacation together."

Galang nodded slowly. He was still hesitant and curious about Elin's words. However, he did not want to prolong the problem because he was working. "Oh, so? Yes, I still have a job. You guys have fun."

Galang greeted Ariel again with his two friends and they left. Elin who was so nervous chose to eat her ice cream alone. He avoided Ariel's gaze because he didn't want to be asked this or that.

"Why do you need to clear all that to Galang? He knows we are brothers. It's natural that we go on vacation together," said Ariel casually.

Elin looked at Ariel confused. He took a deep breath before saying, "Sir Galang knows that I am pregnant and married. Yesterday I told her I was here with my husband. If he sees us both and I'm afraid, he'll be suspicious."

Ariel. "You're careless or what? Why did Galang find out?"
