Giving Birth to My Brother
85. Brought By Mama

"What does Mama mean?" ariel did not take it.

Maria smiled cynically at Ariel. "Don't you want just baby Elin from the start? You don't want your household with Sinta to fall apart, do you? Mama is against any form of divorce even though Mama is very disappointed with the daughter-in-law who can not give offspring. So ... You just part with Elin and your household defense with Sinta."

Sinta looked at Maria in disbelief. She was so relieved that her in-laws chose her instead of Elin. He almost smiled if only he did not see Ariel's sour face.

"I love Elin, Ma. How many times do I have to tell Mama!" Ariel stood up fretfully.

"You forgot your position, Ril? You're the head of our company. You want to have a scandal with your 2 wives? Nope! You'll only ruin a company's reputation if everyone knows you've done polygamy!" hardik Mary.

Ariel shook her head hard. He had promised Elin to keep her by his side. He did not want to part with Elin.

"It can remain a secret" Ariel said.

"And until when? You bring another woman into your household, you want a baby from another woman, but .. That other woman is also your daughter! Don't forget that, Ril. If you remain selfish like this, you will not destroy your sister's future!" exclaim Maria.

The woman stood up, she looked at Ariel with great disappointment. "You should have told Mama what happened after the accident. You are so reckless with marrying your own foster sister. You really let Mama down."

"Ma, wait," said Ariel. He crossed the table and took his mother's hand. "Elin is also in love with me. She cannot be separated from her baby. So ... plis, let's get Elin on my side. Sinta ... Sinta can accept all of this. I've talked to Sinta too."

"You don't care about Sinta!" shouted Maria. He looked back at his daughter-in-law. "You two conspired to lie to Mama! That alone was very disappointing. But ... What hurts the most? Ha?"

Maria brushed off Ariel's hand and rubbed her wet cheek. "You did something inappropriate, Ril. You're tarnishing Mama's trust to look after your sister. You are tarnishing the harmony of our family! You ... you can cause bad things in the company if you still have 2 wives! Mama can't afford that."

"Ma .. please beat me up," Ariel said expectantly.

"No, Mama can't! Mama has spoken enough with you, now ... Mama wants to ask Sinta!"

Sinta gasped when her name was mentioned. He also nodded slowly.

"You can raise that baby as your son and Ariel's? You mean?" ask Maria.

Sinta nodded again. "Yes. I can take care of Luna. He's my son with Mas Ariel since the deal was made, Ma."

"Luna's? Baby girl?" ask Maria.

Sinta nodded once more. He could see the disappointed look of his in-laws once again. Perhaps the woman reminded the grandson and it was a bit thrilling because at any time he would not be able to give grandchildren.

"Ma, wait!" Ariel pulled her mother's hand when the woman almost reached the rungs of the stairs. "Let me talk to Elin. Mama don't ...."

"Mama wants to talk to Mama's daughter!" Maria brushed Ariel's hand off once more.

"Elin almost gave birth. Just a few more days, plis, let me accompany Elin until she gives birth," Ariel said.

Ariel restrained her hair in agitation. He hit the stairs railing hard because he knew his mother was not a woman who could be persuaded if he had chosen a decision. He stared at Elin's room from the first floor with his breath up and down. No, he doesn't want to lose Elin like this.

"You see, Mas" said Sinta. He approached Ariel and hugged her arm. "Mama wants you to think more about our marriage and our household. So ... better all in accordance with what is in the contract letter. Your marriage to Elin is almost over."

"But I'm not like this, Sin. Elf ...."

"Mama's gonna take Elin. Why should you be worried? Elin must be fine, she might be able to go to school again or work later. We just need the baby, right?" Sinta rubbed Ariel's arm gently.

If he could have Ariel all over again plus that little baby, everything would be perfect. He won't need Miko anymore. Well, he'll end his affair if that's what's going to happen in his life. Being the only mistress in this house.

"I want to talk to Mama" said Ariel.

Sinta pulled Ariel's arm. "Sit down first. Mama's still emotional, Mommy."

Ariel took a deep breath. He had no idea what his mother had told Elin. However, he knew, his mother's words would definitely hurt Elin. He also wanted to be there, he did not want Elin to cry alone when facing his mother.

"I'm going up. You ...."

"Mas, don't do this" said Sinta. "It's an opportunity for you, to be honest I'm sick of our marriage. I have been hurt all along. Don't you understand? I gave up a lot on you, same Elin? Now, we have a chance to fix everything. We can be happy again as before. Plus ... Our baby's about to be born."

Ariel looked at Sinta's wounded face. His heart became sore, on one side Sinta was right. He had almost forgotten how happy he was with Sinta since he loved Elin. "I'm .. I'm sorry."

"Let's just sit down, we give Mama time" said Sinta. He smiled with satisfaction as he could take Ariel to a seat. "Drink first, Mom. Don't panic. Elin will be fine. She's young and she could definitely have a better life than continuing to be your second wife."

Sinta's sneaky smile was painted on her face. He did not care about the sad expression Ariel displayed. He just wants to get back on the throne in Ariel's heart. Even if that means Elin has to be put away!

***

When Mary went into Elin's room, she found her adopted daughter sobbing on the bed. He walked closer. This should be a fun reunion. However, everything changed since he saw Elin's big belly. He has high hopes for his children including Elin, although Elin is different and never stands out in school, but he still hopes Elin can be a successful person. Unfortunately all was lost because of this fucking wedding!

"Mama .. sorry," sobbed Elin as Mary stood next to her bed.

Plaque!

Elin grimaced as a hard slap landed on her cheek. He did not even dare to raise his face for fear of his mother's rage.

"You know, why did Mama adopt you 23 years ago?" ask Mary to Elin. He felt trembling because this was the first time he had slapped Elin, he wished it was the last time for him to do that. "That's .. because Mama wants you to be a sister to Ariel. Little sister. You heard. Little sister! Not Ariel's wife! Not to fall in love with Ariel. You've let Mama down."

"Sorry!" Elin spoke louder. He also meant it.

"Stop crying and get your things ready. From today, you don't allow Mama to stay here!"
