It's not my intention to cheat
Chasing Brother-in-law

"Farzan, why are you quiet?" asked Farhan who saw Farzan shut up.

"E-No, I just feel... Got to get to work now.

It's noon."

"Are you sure you don't want to catch up with Shanti?"

"Mas Farhan whose husband, Why should I follow him, Never mind."

"I don't know if Shanti will come back or not, 'cause I think after this she'll be suing for divorce."

Farzan no longer answered and left Farhan who had not yet left his house.

Once he got to work, Farzan immediately did his job. But Farhan's words about Shanti kept ringing in his ears to make his heart fret over what if Shanti really did not return.

"Ahhhhh... Sialll...!!!" Farzan was annoyed at himself for not being able to concentrate on his work Farzan left his place of work and drove fast on his bike.

Fifteen minutes later Farzan reached the bus terminal and parked his bike anywhere. Then Farzan ran to find Shanti on all the buses that led to the hometown of his sister-in-law. But of the five buses still parked in the terminal he did not find Shanti there.

Farzan sat down on the stairs of the bus.

"So Sister Shanti has really come home, what if she doesn't come back here like Mas Farhan said."

After thinking for a while, Farzan returned to his bike and intended to follow Shanti to his hometown.

•••

After traveling for about five hours, Farzan finally reached Shanti's parents' house at night. Although he realized it was inappropriate for a man to go all the way to the wife of his brother. But he could no longer wait for tomorrow to immediately end the unrest in his heart.

With his heart racing, Farzan approached the door.

He ventured to knock on the door of the house that was dark and looks lonely as if showing all the residents of the house were asleep in a dream.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

Farzan waited and knocked several times. But no one opened the door for him.

Not giving up, Farzan again knocked on the glass window door hoping that someone would hear and open the door for him. But his efforts also did not produce results so Farzan thought to contact Shanti through her mobile phone.

Just as he pulled out his phone, Farzan was startled by the sound of the door opening from the inside.

Ckleek...

"Farzan!"

"Mister Shanti..."

The two stared at each other for a while as if they wanted to immediately vent the feeling that had been held in each other's hearts.

Without a word, Farzan stepped closer to Shanti. Then he grabbed Shanti's hand and grabbed her. Instantly Shanti flinched and pulled her hand back.

"What are you doing here Farzan, why are you so far following me, What would people say if they knew?"

Farzan just silently looked at Shanti, As if so sorry for silencing Shanti the last few days.

Until when Shanti stepped back in, Farzan again pulled her hand and hugged her.

"Farzan! Egh.." - Egh..." Shanti who originally wanted to rebel did not do so when she felt the heartbeat of Farzan so tight.

Without saying a word Farzan buried his chin on Shanti's shoulder, both of his friends hugged his sister-in-law's body tightly until Shanti unconsciously joined in returning his embrace.

Until a few minutes passed, Shanti opened her eyes to remember the woman who was staying at Farzan's house at that time.

"Let go!" Shanti pushed Farzan's body away from him.

"Go Farzan!"

"I don't want my parents or neighbors to see you here, what will they think?"

"That's not the real reason, is it?"

Shanti fell silent, It is true that it is not the real reason, Because the main reason is, Shanti felt jealous considering the woman who spent the night at Farzan's house.

"Mbak Shanti, Answer my question Ma'am..."

"Yes! Indeed that's not the real reason, for the real reason I don't want any more contact with you than Mas Farhan!"

"really?" Farzan gripped Shanti's arm and stared at her as if he still could not believe the reason given.

"Take off me Farzan! Get out of here!" Shanti tries to release his hand but Farzan's grip is strong enough that Shanti is unable to take it off.

"I won't let go of your disgust! Earlier Ma'am asked me to stay away, then at midnight Ma'am came to my room as if giving me hope, But now? When I came all the way here taking various risks, it was easy for Mbak to throw me out?!"

"Otherwise what I have to do Farzan, don't you already have a lover? Even you have dared to invite him to spend the night at your house! triak Shanti's.

Farzan who heard him smiled as he shook his head. "so you're jealous?"

Shanti turned her face to cover up her feelings.

"Does this mean that Shanti's mother loves me?"

"What love? You are no different from Mas Farhan, just playing with my feelings!"

"That woman is not my lover Ma'am."

Farzan's confession made Shanti feel a little happy and impatient to hear what other words Farzan wanted to say.

"He's just my friend's sister."

Shanti, who stood back to Farzan, began to carve a smile at Farzan's explanation.

"That night my friend asked me to pick him up at the station, because last night I asked him to stay at home, and that morning when Mbak saw we wanted to go together, he said, That's me taking her to her house."

"So she's not your lover?"

Farzan shook his head

"And you're not doing anything?"

Farzan shook his head again.

Shanti smiled happily as if she wanted to jump right then and there.

Farzan who saw the look on Shanti's face was so happy, Teasing her sister-in-law.

"Well, what does that have to do with Ms. Shanti is that she's my lover or not, Ms. Shanti doesn't love me."

Hearing that Shanti became misbehaved. I want to confess his feelings. But her status is still the wife of people, making Shanti hesitant to tell her true feelings.

Seriate...
