Teach Me to Cheat
Chapter 46: Disappointed

" There is no religion that encourages angry people. Same with Islam. Forgiveness is the best way to solve all problems with family." Akbar.

Yuli is grateful that her husband finally came in time before Aini's emotions overflowed. Because Yuli knew that if Aini already felt disappointed she would let out everything she felt.

Akbar then told Aini.

The late father married the woman in order to save her from slander because when the woman moved here the woman was pregnant.

He also married her on the advice of his mother. Mother could not bear to see a woman who had to be slandered while she herself was in the slump for being expelled from her husband's family.

Then, a few years later the new mother found out that in fact the woman was indeed the wife of the series from the father. They got married when Dad went to Medina.

The woman came to Indonesia after she found out she was pregnant and was expelled from her family because she was pregnant but there was no husband by her side.

Inevitably Mom allowed Dad to polygamize and asked Dad to buy a house that was very far from here so that his children no one knew.

Aini shed tears as she recalled how big the mother's heart wanted to cover up the ugliness done by the father in the eyes of her children.

Even until the last day he breathed, Mother still kept this secret herself.

" Why then did the mother and her two children now appear, Didn't the deceased mother have said that she should not appear?" Ask Aini.

" This is the last message from your late father. When you are in a fragile state because your pillar of defiance is no longer there. He asked me to come as a substitute for your parents" the woman said, looking down.

" really? or have you come because now there is no one to support your life?" Aini.

" Aini please take care of your attitude." Pekik Yuliy.

" Kid we know the anger and disappointment that is in your heart but this is not really our will but we are just carrying out your late father's last will. And we don't expect anything.."

" What does he mean treasure?" Screeched Aini.

" We and our family have found a way to keep the three of us alive."

" Right sister, my mother and I built a figure that God willing enough to keep our survival." Said the man who thought he was the same age as Yuli.

" Don't call me brother because I don't think of you as my brother yet."

" Istighfar Aini they're your siblings they're from the same father as you." Akbar.

" Right Aini brother knows this is a reality that is very difficult to accept But I hope you will accept it with a spacious heart and great sincerity."

" Demember what Dad's message is?" Yuli Imbuh.

"Don't change because of someone, you'll be hurt and disappointed. Changed by God, you will be happy." Lirih Aini's.

"Suffering is a blessing. There is a hidden meaning in it.The strongest person is not a wrestler. But, the one who can control himself when angry." Akbar.

"Don't rely too much on anyone in this world. Because your shadow alone will leave you in the dark." Aini.

" Let our lives be more like being killed but still living in regret. Especially mothers who regret having become a pest in your parents' household." The woman wept no less considering the kindness of Aini's late father who redeemed her when she became the slave of a notorious and cruel person.

In the law there, buying slaves and freeing slaves meant making him a part of his life. Father at that time could not think with the network because of the demands of the family of the woman who finally made Dad marry the woman.

" God leaves the strengths in every weakness, puts the strengths in every weakness." Said Dad while trying to invite the woman to come to Indonesia.

"People say blood is thicker than water. But often only water is there when we need it. While the blood is somewhere." A woman named Fatimah.

" I'm sorry, maybe for some time I still haven't been able to accept the fact that you're my new mom." Screeched Aini.

" It's okay, I'll wait for the time where you alone will come and call me that. I will treat you just as I treated the two daughters. And I hope you'll treat me the same."

"If I treat you like the way you treat me. You'll probably hate me. Because I won't be able to behave the way you want."

" It's..." Pekik Yuliy.

" I know who in this house you are, but please give me a little time so I can breathe calmly, brother, and allow me to go back to my room."

Aini went straight to the exit from there leaving everything behind. Akbar gives Yuli the code to pursue Aini.

" Aini. istighfar Aini istighfar control yourself try to accept the fact that he is our parent." Yuli said as she had managed to stop Aini's steps.

"I indirectly educated my parents, that the family was bullshit!"

" Abaghfirullah Don't talk like that Aini there must be a more reasonable reason why you married that woman and lied to you."

" Then Big Brother hoped to discover the truth from whom while our two parents were already calm in different realms. Did you think you would believe the woman's words?"

Yuli fell silent Because honestly she herself still could not accept the fact that she had another brother.

"One lie is enough to question all the truth."

" It's..."

"Well if you can't find the truth. Teach me how to accept things without cheating on life." Aini.

"Trust me, there are some things from our parents that we will never be able to understand. Think of it as their secret to keep our brotherhood awake."

" It's good I'll try to be sincere even if I'm inwardly hurt, emotionally I'm screwed, mentally I'm depressed, but I'll try to be happy and physically smile."

"Deep down inside we know what all therapists know, the problems of both parents will be the problems of the child too." Say Aini again.

"If we sincerely strive for the happiness of family life. God will make it easy and show you the way." Said the man who had listened to the conversation from beginning to end.

" Daffa?" Pekik Yuliy.

Aini who had only seen Yuli turned around and saw and made sure that the man was really her husband, Daffa.

"Family is the best place to learn about sacrifice. Show a smile before the crowd, a cry in front of friends, a sacrifice in front of family, and a sense of gratitude before God. Maybe that's what the late father and mother were doing." Say Daffa while walking until he reaches Yuli and Daffa.

"During times have changed, but people remain the same. We still need the love, happiness and warmth of a family. The real paradise we can feel right now is our home filled with the warmth of our family."
