Giving Birth to My Brother
84. Explain

"Elin! Answer my mother's question!"

Not only Elin who now seemed to tremble because of the question of Mary. In fact, Sinta was also so daunted.

"Ma, don't do this. We're talking good. I don't want my wife to be depressed" Ariel said, embracing Elin.

Both of Maria's eyes are more patterned because when Ariel calls the wife, Ariel actually embraces Elin instead of Sinta. His chest rumbled, there was no way his son would marry Elin!

"Elin, you go to the room first, come on." Ariel gently pulled Elin's shoulder. He rubbed slowly there because he did not want Elin to be more afraid. "Love, please take your mom to sit down first."

Sinta nodded slowly. He hates all this. How Ariel is more concerned with embracing and calming Elin. She was also trembling, and she was afraid of her in-laws. He was afraid to explain everything to Mary.

"You're crazy, Ril!" shouted Maria.

"You don't panic" Ariel whispered to Elin. He led Elin up the stairs to his room.

Elin did not speak until she entered the room and sat down on the edge of the bed. There, he could only feel a little more relieved. He can also breathe more calmly. A few seconds ago, he felt so tight that breathing was so hard.

"El, are you all right?" ariel asked as she clasped Elin's cold hand.

Elin looked at Ariel right now, her tears instantly falling. "Mama's mad."

"The anger will not be long, I will explain all the same Mama. You are here" said Ariel. He gently rubbed Elin's hair and cheeks.

"But ... Mama doesn't like me pregnant sister," said Elin Pilu. Even without explanation, he could feel it. Her mother doesn't like this.

"Mama must have understood. I go down first, I want to explain everything so that Mama can be horrified first," said Ariel reassured.

Elin was still staring at both of Ariel's shady eyes. He had no idea what Ariel would explain to their mother. Is it about their marriage agreement 9 months ago or is it about the chronology of the accident that took Arinta's womb and life? Elin doesn't know, it's the same for her. Maria wouldn't have liked that she was carrying Ariel's baby.

"I go down first, you rest here" said Ariel. He landed a kiss on the side of Elin's head and then on her cheek.

"I'm afraid" said Elin, covering her face with both palms.

"Wait a minute, let me talk to Mama. You know, Mama always used to talk to me" said Ariel.

Elin nodded. He felt Ariel's warm embrace. He wanted to be like this, hugged for a long time so that he was sure everything would be fine. Unfortunately, Ariel released her body so quickly. It made Elin feel much worse.

With tears in her eyes, Elin stared at Ariel's missing back behind the door. He took a deep breath and took a lot of air into his lungs. He felt uncomfortable, let alone his stomach tighten occasionally.

"Darling, you calm down. Mama is not papa" said Elin, stroking her stomach gently. He tried to lie down to feel better, unfortunately even though his stomach was no longer painful, he could still feel the pounding in his heart. He's not calm about all this.

"So, you've been theatrical and confessed that you're pregnant. Not at all?" ask Mary to Sinta.

Sinta nodded. There was no way he could deny it because obviously everything looked like that!

"Why? Why are you lying?" asked Maria in a denouncing tone. He stared at Sinta's body from top to bottom. Sinta is beautiful, Sinta is also smart so Ariel immediately fell in love first, thought Maria. "Why did Elin get pregnant with Ariel's child?"

Sinta. He was afraid to explain everything. So she chose to be quiet even though her mother-in-law said bad things. She looked at Ariel in relief as her husband came down the stairs. Soon, Ariel sat next to Sinta. Ariel took Sinta's frozen hand and held it.

"Mama, no. I'm the one who's obviously in all," said Ariel.

"OKAY. You explain all this mess!" hardik Mary.

Ariel looked at his wife who was shaking slowly. Ariel knew Sinta was so scared that Mary knew she had no more womb. However, Ariel nodded slowly. He hoped his mother would be devastated if she told him everything.

"Last year's accident .. didn't just take the life of Mama's granddaughter" Ariel said. "But ... Sinta also had to lose her womb. It was a fatal accident."

"What?" Mary closed her lips with her palm. All this time he was very dislike Sinta, but now he felt a bit sorry for his first daughter-in-law. "Then?"

"We can't have children. But ... She kept asking, demanding this and that. Sinta was depressed for months! You're grieving, but .. we can't tell you because you keep asking for grandchildren" Ariel said.

Maria grunts. Well, he's been so obsessed with carrying a grandchild. That is why he quickly returned to Indonesia. He did not want to miss the moment of his precious grandson's birth.

"We intend to adopt, but we are sure Mama will wonder why we adopted the child. After all, Mama and Papa would want to have offspring from my flesh and blood" Ariel said. This time, he felt his mother's piercing gaze. "So .. I married Elin and impregnated her."

"You're a brash!" maria shouted as she poured her tea water over Ariel's face. Sinta shrieked, but Ariel simply fell silent. "You know who Elin is? He's your own brother! What the hell are you doing? Inseminate her? Thenwhat? You made Elin lose her future!"

Ariel nodded. He knows it. Maybe that was his biggest mistake. "It's just a contract marriage. Elin .. she just needs to give birth to a baby for me and Sinta. We will be the parents for the baby. Mama don't worry. I've arranged everything."

"You're outrageous! Elin, you're just using it?" ask Maria not to accept it.

"It did, at first" replied Ariel. He felt a squeeze on the hand by Sinta. He looked at Sinta, but this time he wanted to be selfish. He looked back at his mother. "But now, Elin is really my wife, Ma. I love Elin, Ma. Elin loves me too. We ... Aren't we just foster brothers?"

"What's? You love Elin?" Maria strove. I don't know how many surprises Ariel gave me today. With a huff, he massaged his own forehead. "You're crazy, Ril. You have a wife!"

"I know, but I can't lie. Mama don't worry. Sinta and I will take care of the baby. But ... please accept Elin. She's not Mama's daughter anymore, she's my second wife."

Sinta pulled her question from Ariel's grasp. He hates this more. Roughly, he rubbed his wet cheeks.

"Second wife? Elin?" asked Mary fiercely. Ariel nodded. "No will! You can't have two wives, Ril. Take the baby and Elin ... Mama will take care of it!"
