Holy Marriage
Rigour
The first thing Alan was looking for was Stefi. The man went straight to Stefi's room and opened the door. Alan found Stefi sitting on the bed hugging a pillow. The girl looked nervous at Alan's arrival.
“How long have you been in contact with that man?” Alan stood before Stefi with a sharp look. Alan was well acquainted with Dragon, a man who never seemed to be satisfied with many women. How could Alan possibly let Stefi come into contact with such a man?
“Three months.”
The dragon does not lie. “Dragon is my friend and I know him very well. Before you knew him, I had known him for nineteen years. He was my old High School friend. The character I understand. He's not a good guy.”
“But.. During my time with me, she never showed a bad attitude,” shrewdly Stefi wanted to defend the man she liked.
“Not a single man will show his ugliness to the woman he yearns for. Think straight, Stefi. I'm your brother, there's no way I'm gonna knock you out. I want the best for my sister. You must stay away from Dragon.”
“I love it,” lirih Stefi.
“Stefi!” hardik Alan hard. “Naga already has four wives. Then how much do you want to be a wife?”
Stefi. Tears suddenly drip.
“Already! Forget Dragons! Don't go near him anymore! He's a bad guy and forever I'll never mrestui your relationship. Remember, in our family, only I am given the right to determine my brothers' future husbands. That's what papa.” says Alan approached Stefi. Then touch her arm gently. His heart finally filled to see the cry of his sister. “You must be a submissive girl, do not change just because of the Dragon. Not only because the Dragon has four wives, which makes me not want your relationship to continue, but because the Dragon also likes to connect with women at night.”
“Did you see that directly? Is this not just an issue?” stefi's gaze seemed to indicate that he did not believe Alan's words.
“This is not just an issue. I've seen him enter a hotel with a woman who's not his wife. She is definitely not a good man to be made a husband.”
Alan wheezed. He regretted having rebuked his sister. He had no idea what the reason Stefi was crying, whether it was because of Alan's rebuke, or because he regretted his relationship with the Dragon, or any other matter. I don't know…
“You must hear me! Whatever the reason, you can't relate to the Dragon. There are a lot of men still out there. You're a woman, you don't want to hurt another woman, do you? You also certainly do not want to be hurt if one day the Dragon treats you like treating his other wife.” Alan rubbed Stefi's head briefly.
Stefi took a deep breath to look for a gap in order to speak.
“Then did Brother Alan forget Sister Cintya? Mass media is also excited about the affair with sister Cintya?” lirih Stefi interrupted.
“Why are you looking for my mistakes? Now I'm talking about you, talking about your kindness, not me. You don't understand what really happened to me and Cintya. My love is only my past and it's long gone. Anna forgave me about that. Me and Cintya were a mistake and you didn't want to follow the wrong thing, did you? A mistake will only lead to regret behind. The point is, I'm your brother, and I just want what's best for you. That's it already. I don't have to repeat the same sentence again so you understand. Naga already has a wife, can't you think how hurt his wives are when her husband has to remarry?”
Stefi looked into Alan's eyes. Then she softly asked, “Does this mean that sister will never wish for Anna? Does this mean that you only love Anna and will always be loyal to her? How funny it would be if brother was unfaithful but advised me like this.”
Alan was silent for a moment, as if he were studying Stefi's words. His sister is no longer a child. “Yes, Anna will be my only wife.”
Alan wiped the tears on Stefi's cheek. “You must not cry because of a bad man. I'm sure you must be strong. Forget Dragon!”
Stefi could not answer anymore, only a mouthful came out of her mouth.
“Yes already, I'm leaving. If you want to cry, cry as much as you can. It might make you feel relieved. But remember, your cry is not to cry for a man who is not good for you, but rather to cry to make your heart become relieved.” Alan walked out.
