...Sister of Ipar Malang ...
...Chapter 9 (Responsible)...
POV Lilis
Although his face remained flat, but from his eyes radiated regret. I cried with a feeling of relief and guilt. Relieved, because he had confessed his actions and felt guilty, to Kak Laras.
Mother and Aunt Maya suddenly limp. Mother was married by Kak Devan, while Aunt Maya was helped by Om Rifan to sit back.
Laras shouted hysterically and loudly, not accepting the statement of her husband. "Your staff, Evan. You betrayed me!" Her beautiful face with makeup polish, now mixed with tears. "You must have been framed by Lilis, right, Evan? Just tell me!" What a bucinnya Kak Laras, it is clear that her husband is wrong, still blaming others.
"Is it true that you were seduced or framed by Lilis?" ask me to make sure.
"I did it because of my own guilt. Lilis did not seduce or seduce me at all. I ... did want Lilis' body back then."
My body trembled at his confession. Suddenly I felt disgusted with my own body, she wanted this body.
Bugg!
Brother Devan hit Brother Evan right in his jaw. Until Dad held the body of Kak Devan who will go forward and hit the face of Kak Evan again.
"Stop Devan! You don't have to dirty your hands to teach her a lesson. In their families, they have their own rules for punishing the guilty family members" Dad said.
Kak Devan's face looks as if very angry to hear the words of Kak Evan.
Laras approached her husband while checking on Evan's face. Not only the red mark of the palm stamp, but the blue swelling in the jaw that now adorns the handsome face of Kak Evan.
"It's all because of you, Lilis. If you hadn't seduced Evan, it wouldn't have been like this." Brother Laras is still crying while pointing at my face. The face that used to love me, now became very hateful.
"Already, stop! Go back to your seats. This problem is not finished. There's still something to discuss to the end." Father's words stopped Laras who was about to walk towards me. Everyone sat back on the sofa, including Evan's sister who had previously knelt down.
"However now in the stomach Lilis is already growing fetus, aged one month more. We can't let that fetus grow without anyone being responsible." I went back to talking about the subject of this meeting.
"My first granddaughter .." said Aunt Maya. There was a twinkle in his eyes when he mentioned grandchildren. Different from Kak Laras who smiled wryly while looking at his in-laws.
"So, Mr. Rifan and Ms. Maya. In any case, Evan still has to take responsibility with the fetus in Lilis' stomach. I hope you both can understand this situation. I as the parent of Laras and Lilis hope Evan can take responsibility with both. Instead of me having to talk this out to the police, I would be ashamed, because Lilis is pregnant without a husband and your company's good name must also be tarnished. We're both going to lose." Dad explained at length why not report Evan to the police. Dad's calculations are very mature. Weigh the good and the bad before we do anything.
Aunt Maya's face was rather bright hearing Dad's statement. I guess she must be really happy to hear I'm going to be her daughter-in-law too. He always wanted to have another boy my age, then we would be betrothed.
When Aunt Maya will open her mouth, Kak Laras has spoken first.
"So, you're gonna have Evan marry Lilis, then make me a widow? That so?" asked Kak Laras with a grunt.
"But I don't want to be combined. I just want to be Evan's only wife. Evan is mine!" shouted Brother Laras loudly.
"You must not be selfish Baras. Then Lilis, who will be in charge? His stomach will also grow," refuted Aunt Maya.
"Why not dig*g*rkan the content? That way Lilis will be able to go to school again, and our family will not bear the shame of the disgrace made by Lilis."
I held her stomach to protect her. Completely dumbfounded by my brother's words.
Plakk!
Now replace Kak Laras who got a slap from his female in-laws. His face appeared surprised, his hand holding the cheek of the former Aunt Maya slap. I shut my mouth in disbelief, a friendly famous person can slap his daughter-in-law.
"Your path, Baras! Either way it's your husband's son, Evan's son." Aunt Maya stands up with a waistline.
"Mama slapped me? I'm your son-in-law, not Lilis. Mama's defending Lilis more than me, your own daughter-in-law?" ask Kak Laras with teary eyes.
"Regardless of me defending Lilis or not, you can't just play with life. The fetus is innocent. It will be the first grandchild of our family. I won't let anyone hurt my first grandchild." Aunt Maya replied.
"That will indeed be my first grandchild, Mama, and also my husband's son. But it's not from my womb, Ma. Should I accept it airily? The doctor himself said that I'm not barren." Brother Laras said while sobbing. Aunt Maya did not answer again, maybe pity her condition.
"Roads, Honey. You calm down, yeah. We'll think of a way out. You and Lilis are just as valuable to us." Mother tried to calm Kak Laras, even though she could not hold back her tears.
All return to their respective seats, adjust the breath so that they can be calmer. Either way, you have to find a way out.
Honestly, if asked to marry Brother Evan, I choose to refuse him. Besides because he is Kak Laras' husband and does not want to hurt his heart, I have my own trauma with Kak Evan. I can't stand it if I have to be close. So, how can you be a husband and wife?
The atmosphere of silence reigns, perhaps struggling with each other's thoughts. I am too. Until a sound made my heart almost stop beating.
"I will marry Lilis, and will be in charge of the baby she contains." Brother Evan uttered firmly.
"No! I will never bless this marriage. I'm still your wife, Evan. I am a legal wife in the eyes of religion and country. Just so you know, that marrying brothers who are still blood, it is forbidden by religion. A brother-in-law may marry his wife's sister if he has divorced his first wife, and I will never divorce." The breath of Kak Laras hunt as if it has evaporated all its tatters.
"I'll still marry Lilis, even under my hands, and I won't divorce you. After all, the child Lilis conceived was my son, my own flesh and blood. It will also be your son, Laras." Brother Evan tried to give understanding to Kak Laras.
"But I don't want to be combined. It's enough that when we were still dating, I shared with the ladies who flirted with you." Brother Laras said by folding his hands on his chest.
Kak Evan's cheeks are a bit red, apparently embarrassed, because it was found to be a casanova once. Then the face of Kak Laras seemed to be thinking.
"Well, this is how it is. Evan may marry Lilis, but only marry siri. After the child is born, you two should get divorced. About the boy, give it to us. Let me and Evan take care of the kid. Lilis also could not acknowledge the child as her child. Let this secret be only we know." Kak Laras again voiced lightly. What does he think I am?
