For My Brother's Sakes I'm Getting Married Young

S2 CHAPTER 21

Silence is created between the two. An awkward, and unpleasant feeling began to be felt in Adnan's chest, but there was a sense of curiosity pushing him strong.

"I mean, Brother?" ask Adnan.

The atmosphere of the hostel is not as crowded as usual. How lucky is Rina right now.

"A-I've had intercourse with Dirga's friend," he admitted.

Adnan jerks.

"I used to be, I wasn't like this. First set foot in this city. I'm a bar-bar girl. Even so, I never got drunk, touched drugs, or had sex. I just love freedom. Until one day after applying for college, my father had a single accident. He needs immediate surgery. Meanwhile, my mother has no more costs," continued Rina.

"Then?"

"At that time I asked Mom to take back the money that had gone into campus registration. But, Mom said it couldn't. I'm totally upset. Mother has tried to borrow a brother, but the results are still lacking. Either, it may be my destiny, or maybe she is seducing me. When I was upset, he offered it to me in exchange for paying off my father's operating expenses. I'm already confused by being forced to accept, because I need the money as soon as possible," explained Rina.

Rina occasionally rubbed the clear liquid on her cheeks. Standing facing Adnan. He returned to telling stories.

"Eventually all that happened, and Dirga kept his promise. A month after that, I felt disgusted at myself. To decide to close the aurat, and repent completely. Dirga and I are friends in the village. When we got home together, I was so happy to see me. Dad left me to Dirga. He promised to always send money for just my needs, and Dirga too. Although, not much," said Rina.

Rina's eyes started to rub. Adnan still stared at him faithfully. There is a sense of compassion in Adnan, but the feeling tends to be angry at the figure of Dirga.

"Is it true that son of a bitch is Big Brother's future husband?" ask Adnan.

Lina shook her head, making Adnan even more curious.

"To be honest, Dirga is just a neighbor in my village who happens to be on campus with me. First here I only know Dirga. About Dirga claimed to be my future husband is only inistiaf himself. He said that, so that other men would not approach me. She was afraid, I scoffed at her ugliness that always blackmailed me. The video that he secretly filmed is his flagship weapon" explained Rina.

"Why did you tell me everything?" adnan Urge.

"Dirga didn't say I was a dirty girl. So, what do I think to cover again. It's just that I have to prepare myself, if Dirga to give the video to my father ...," said Rina.

Adnan listened to all of Rina's confessions. He did not comment anything. Once in taste enough, Rina let Adnan go home soon, because the night is getting late.

Adnan was saying goodbye while carrying the secret of Rina in his heart. Now he understood the reason his senior was not getting along much. Fear became the reason Lina mingled with the others.

"Poor girl" thought Adnan.

Morning replaced the darkness of the night. After the dawn adhan, Egi woke up. Then, take ablution to prepare to perform congregational prayers.

The dawn is still fresh air. Egi and Rendy jog around the house. This weekend you will spend with his books in the room.

"What is that, brother?" ask Egi.

"We sit there first" pointed Rendy at a bench in one of the parks near their home.

Egi tailed behind his sister-in-law. His heart asked what Rendy really wanted to say?

Sit second. Rendy massaged her legs slowly. Then, raise your head up.

"Sister and Lisa intend to match you," said Rendy.

Egi looked at Rendy. "Who?"

Rendy reached into the cell phone in her pants pocket, then showed a picture of a girl in a red headscarf.

"Name Syifa. He's the son of a business associate's friend. Twenty-one year old student. Her son is nice and beautiful, your brother just likes her," explained Rendy.

Egi took Rendy's phone. "Then, aren't you going to ask me what I think of that?"

"This is the reason Brother asked you to run away together. Brother wants to hear your opinion," replied Rendy.

Egi took a deep look at the girl's photo. Her face was beautiful, and she was certainly young. However, Egi was not interested at all.

Egi returned Rendy's phone, then said, "I'm not interested, brother. This is not the time of Siti Nurbaya anymore."

Rendy grabbed the advanced item, put it back in her pocket.

"Why? Don't you want to be married forever?" ask Rendy.

"Not so, I just don't want to be betrothed!" refute Egi.

"Sister won't force you. You are free to choose your way of life, but look at your sister. He worries about you all the time. If you don't mind, at least try it first. Maybe after being lived, there is growing love between you," suggested Rendy.

Egi did not answer. He recalled Rey's words last night. Why does his mind keep turning to the words of Zahra's father.

The trauma covers everything. Even Zahra's love cannot make up for the depths of a sick heart.

"Why can't I open my heart? It feels like he just died, "inner Egi.
