Upon arrival at his sister's residence, Erlan immediately invited Alina to enter the house. Rara who was sitting relaxing in the main room, was so surprised when she saw Erlan coming with Alina.
"Erlan, where have you been? And isn't this-" Rara hasn't finished talking, Erlan has interrupted her speech.
"Yes, Brother. This is Alina, the rice-sitting girl who saved Silla yesterday."
Rara watched Alina's appearance closely. From head to toe and there was something that caught Rara's attention at the time. Alina's stomach was rounded and was seen so clearly due to her drenched condition.
"Why are you wet like this?" Rara looked astonished. He got up from his seat and approached Alina. "Come with me, Alina," asked Rara.
Rara invites Alina to an empty room commonly used by guests who want to stay overnight. Upon arrival in the room, Rara asks Alina to immediately change her soaked clothes with a sleeping kimono.
"Wait a minute, Alina. Brother, bring clothes for you" said Rara, stroking Alina's cheek gently.
"Don't bother, Madam," said Alina who felt uncomfortable because she had troubled the woman.
"It's okay, Alina. Besides I don't feel bothered, anyway" Rara replied as she walked out of the room and left Alina alone there.
Not long after, Rara returned with her clothes that were still in a new state, she never used them even once.
Rara came back to Alina and handed her the clothes. "Wear, it's new, really."
With trembling hands, Alina greeted him. "Thank you, Madam."
"Together."
While Alina changed her clothes, Rara rushed towards Erlan's room. There were so many questions he wanted to ask his younger brother about Alina.
Upon arriving in the room, it turned out that the younger brother had changed his clothes. Slowly he entered the room and sat down on the edge of Erlan's bed.
"Lan, can you explain everything to Brother?" Rara's eyes stared intently at Erlan who was still drying her hair with a towel.
Erlan let out a long sigh then sat down beside Rara. "The story is long, brother. And I don't know how to tell it" Erlan said with a disheveled face looking at Rara.
"What's up, Erlan. Tell me, don't make Brother anxious" said Rara. After he saw Erlan's facial expression back then, he knew that his younger brother was in trouble.
"Look, Brother." Erlan told me everything that happened between her and Alina. Similarly, bad events that continue to happen to Alina since the girl tested positive for pregnancy.
"Ja-so, right now Alina is pregnant? And the baby is yours, Erlan," cried Rara with a worried face looking at Erlan.
"Oh my God, Erlan! How can this be like this?" Rara rounded her eyes after knowing the story of Erlan and Alina. "I can't imagine how Mommy would react if she knew about this. Brother sure Mommy will not be that easy to bless your relationship, even though Alina is currently pregnant with your child," said Rara.
"Then what should I do, brother? Alina and the baby in her womb are my responsibility. I can't let them live a miserable life while I live a good life without the slightest burden" Erlan said.
"Yes, you're right. But ...."
"I will still marry Alina, with or without Mommy's blessing, sister."
A few hours later.
Rara invites Alina to dinner with her little family. At first Alina refused because she was embarrassed, but after Rara persuaded her by half force, Alina finally willing.
"Daddy, introduce. This is Alina, the girl who saved our daughter yesterday" Rara said as they arrived in the dining room. Rara introduces the figure of Alina to the Husband who has started his dinner first.
Abhimanyu stopped chewing, then looked at Alina from head to toe and after that he smiled. "Oh, it turns out this is what Alina is called. Erlan was right to live here, it turned out that this girl was very beautiful. Right, Erlan?"
Erlan, who was sipping her drink, suddenly choked after hearing her brother-in-law's words. Erlan smacked his chest slowly then smiled wryly at the people who were laughing at him, including little Arsilla.
"Sister could have," said Erlan as he glanced at Alina who was currently sitting on the chair, which was beside her right.
I don't think dinner is over. After helping out in the kitchen, Alina planned to meet Erlan and wanted to talk about their problems.
"Mr Erlan," Alina said to Erlan who was relaxing on the front porch of Rara's house. Erlan was deliberately waiting for Alina there so that she and the girl could talk more freely.
"Yes, Alina." Erlan smiled warmly welcoming Alina's arrival.
"Master still hasn't answered my question, why are you willing to marry me. Though the Master knows that I-"
"Hush ...." Erlan covered Alina's lips with her index finger, then gently stroked the tiny lips.
"Come, Alina. I'll tell you everything. But .. Promise me that you won't be mad at me" Erlan asked as she stared fixedly at Alina's eyes.
Alina nodded her head slowly. "All right, sir."
