MY MOM'S BEST FRIEND'S BED
Chapter 43. Dira's Sacrifice.
After her mother came out to buy food, Dira sat on the edge of the bed. While greeting her brother Dira wants to express his intentions.
"Sister Lani, are you really bored and want to end your relationship with Om Jefri?" ask Dira slowly.
Dira does not know if his intention to replace his brother is right. He wanted to tell Lani.
"Silent brother, Deck. The path that you took all this time was wrong. Many hearts are wounded and brothers hurt just because of selfishness. Just to get a decent life, Big Brother has shut down one's household life."
Lani stopped her words. Shadows the wounded face of Mami Manda. Their home was destroyed by their presence. It was better for him to retreat before more were injured.
"Son, is it true that all the money that mom and dad ask for the same Om Jefri is considered debt not just a free gift."
Dira is afraid that if Lani's brother breaks away from Jefri, it will have an impact on both parents. Dira doesn't want them in jail.
"Yes, Deck. Om Jefri once showed me a letter signed by Dad and written all the money that father and mother asked for. And in the letter it says if you can't pay off the debt as requested, they're willing to put in jail."
If it wasn't for the letter, maybe Lani would have broken away from Jefri yesterday. Just like Dira, Lani is also afraid if both her parents are in prison. Although both parents are wrong, but as any child he could have seen them enter bui.
"Then let me take the place of Brother!" said Dira with great emphasis.
Lani who did not understand what Dira meant by looking at her sister's face with her forehead twitching.
"What does that mean?" ask Lani.
Dira took a deep breath before saying his next words. She knew for sure Lani her brother would be shocked to hear from her.
"I will replace my brother as Om Jefri's bedmate. Brother Lani can go far wherever you want. Maybe it's time for me to sacrifice for my family. It's been enough of Lani's sacrifice all this time for the family."
Like hearing the sound of lightning in broad daylight Lani heard the words of her sister. How could Lani think of replacing her position. What good is the sacrifice he has made if Dira ends up being like him.
Lani paused her speech. He regretted that he had fallen into this valley. If only time could be repeated. Surely he did not want to go through the day that he had given his crown to Jefri.
The regret he felt today, he could not change. Everything has already happened. Sorry useless. I won't be able to return everything.
"Listen, Deck. Everything you ever did was a lesson. We will be shunned by all who know our work. Everyone will look at us with disgust. And not friendly. They're afraid we're approaching. Like we're shit."
Lani paused her words. He would not let his sister be like him.
"What more if you become a fan of the same man as your brother. You don't know who Om Jefri is yet. Lani's sister regrets ever knowing her."
Lani's tears seemed to start to come down wetting her cheeks. He cursed himself stupid. Only for the sake of money and luxury like his friend would he willingly give up his crown.
Lani is not out of thought, why she used to be so tempted by luxury that she was willing to sell her pride. Even if he really wants to make money, he can work in a supermarket.
"Never think so again. Let brother find a way out of this."
"I'm afraid that if you leave Om Jefri both of our parents are directly in prison. I don't want that to happen."
"Just trust all of you to Brother. Never think of doing all of that. What else to do all that. Appreciate the sacrifice of my brother all this time. It would all be for naught if you did the same."
Lani clasped Dira's hand."Prove to everyone that we can succeed. You've learned quite well." Lani gave her smile.
As Lani was about to speak, a voice of people stepped in. The two simultaneously looked towards the origin of the sound. A middle-aged man approached.
"What do you guys talk about? So serious!" jefri said so until in front of Lani.
