Marry me, Brother

Marry me, Brother
Fourteen days


A week later...


Fourteen days passed already, during that period Indhi fought with all his might against the virus that attacked his body. Fourteen days that Indhi could finally go through even though it had been critical in a few days. And those fourteen days, Indhi survived only for the sake of the two men who are now very precious to him, Ega and the baby who is in his womb.


For two weeks Indhi did not meet Ega, longing was so strong in the heart, the pregnant woman was waiting for the results of tests to determine whether she was still infected with the virus or not. After some time waiting, Indhi and four patients and Sister Lina expressed negative so they were allowed to go home after being confined for two weeks in the Hospital.


Indhi's return is of course still a secret, the pregnant woman did not inform her husband and mother. At nine o'clock in the morning Indhi arrived at his yard which looked lonely.


"That's one piece, are you gone?" he muttered and then he knocked on the door.


Moments later the door opened, bi Sumi stood in the doorway while smothering her mouth, so happy that Indhi came home, bi Sumi even hugged the pregnant woman.


"Non's okay, right?" bi Sumi unraveled her embrace and observed Indhi's body from toe to head. "Why not be thin, does the Hospital not provide decent food for non?" ask again because Indhi looks thinner.


"Indhi is fine now bi. During the quarantine, I did not want to eat to be thin, but from today I will eat a lot because of the aunt who cooked it," replied Indhi enthusiastically, imagining bi Sumi's cooking made her drool drip.


From the inside, footsteps approached. "Who's coming bi?" asked the owner of the footsteps, upon arrival at the door of the woman the owner of the step immediately cried after seeing his daughter had come home.


"God my dear, you're finally home too son, I'm so worried. You're okay while you're there?" said Tika maam gratefully, the woman then hugged her daughter tightly.


Indhi returned her mother's embrace, the pregnant woman rubbed Tika's back slowly. "I'm fine ma'am, I'm healthy now" Indhi replied.


"Thank God. What about the mother's grandchildren?" bu Tika took off her embrace, now her hand moved on the flat stomach of Indhi.


"She's fine too ma'am, she's fighting to stay with me."


"Thank God. Now go in and rest, let bi Sumi cook your favorite meal!"


Unrelenting sentences of thanksgiving spoken from the mouth of Tika's mother for the recovery of her child, not to mention Indhi's pregnancy makes Tika's mother sure if Indhi is okay now, she said,


"Brother work mom?" ask Indhi as soon as they enter the house.


"Yes, there is a schedule of operations he said," replied Tika.


"Mom please tell me bi Sumi yes, make lunch for sister Ega!" pinta Indhi with a smile so that Tika ma'am can't possibly refuse her.


Indhi decided to go to her room to take a bath and rest for a while before noon she would go to the Hospital and bring lunch for her husband.


An hour later Indhi fell asleep in her room, at exactly eleven o'clock in the afternoon she prepared to go to the Hospital with two boxes of provisions for her and for her husband.


"Let's follow dady," he murmured while stroking his flat stomach.


Indhi brushed the mirror out of the small bag she carried, she examined the thin makeup on her face and the nude lipstick that blends perfectly with her peach-colored lips. "Mamy's pretty, isn't he?" ask him on the baby in the stomach.


After looking in the mirror and making sure his makeup was neat, Indhi stepped forward to approach the door that was not fully closed, as he was about to reach the doorknob he heard a voice that was very familiar to him.


"I brought lunch for my sister" said a voice in Ega's room.


"Dit, I told you yesterday, didn't I? Stop giving me the box, your attitude will stir up gossip out there!" answer Ega full of emphasis.


"I don't care how other people think, I just do what I want to do brother," elak Dita at will.


"But what you did made me uncomfortable. Remember, I'm married and your attitude could have made Indhi misunderstand," now Ega started to raise the volume of her voice.


"Let Indhi misunderstand if necessary let her leave brother. Conscious brother, Indhi absolutely does not love brother, you should know that only I love brother sincerely," said Dita no less loud voice.


At the door, Indhi was still fixated and could not digest the words of her best friend.


"I don't care if Indhi doesn't love me, all I know is that I only love her even when we were together. I just love Indhi, remember that!"


Suddenly Indhi felt all over her body weakened, even now that both legs supporting her body began to shake violently, the woman blinked very quickly to hold back her tears that would soon spill. A wide range of questions now filled Indhi's head.


"We love sister Ega? Since when, why don't I ever know?"


"Then what do you mean, sister Ega, so they have been together? They ever have love? When's? Why don't I know?


"Why did Dita stay silent and not try to keep me from marrying Ka Ega? Then why does Dita now seem to want sister Ega again?"


Question after question kept turning around in Indhi's head, before falling in front of Ega's room, he chose to leave even with a limped step.


Indhi set his breath for a while, after being calm enough he intended to meet Arum in his office, it was possible that by sharing with Arum the tightness in his chest would be reduced.


While inside Ega's room, the two people were still fighting, both of them staring at each other with opposing eyes. Ega's brown bead could not hide her anger and disappointment to the girl who was now standing before her, while Dita looked at Ega with a pleading gaze.


"From now on don't ever see me again. I thought you were a good girl, but I was wrong! Get out of my room now!" throw Ega while pointing at the exit, it feels like he is sick of lingering with Dita in the same room.


"I haven't given up sister" Dita said before exiting the room.


"Sial," said Ega while shaking his waist, he was really worried about his relationship and Dita in the past will be known Indhi.


SERIATE...
