Forced to Marry Stepbrother
4. Dien
“Not overnight? What does that mean, Eziio?” Back Papa repeated the question.
Papa's sudden presence made Kak Zii's body stiffen.
It seems, the man was surprised. However, it did not last long.
Aware of Papa's presence makes Kak Zii unwillingly keep his distance from me.
“You haven't answered Papa Eziio's question. And what are you two doing in the garage at this hour?”
Papa looked at us full of probes.
“In the garage alone and Papa noticed you guys so intensely. What are you guys really doing? What secrets are you hiding? Eziio answer!”
Papa's voice was very loud. I even had to take a few steps back to secure my hearing.
Now, Papa's gaze was fully focused on Brother Zii.
“I-it, Pa. Kana fell out of bed last night, but luckily Zii helped. Kana's legs are now sprained. That's why Zii wanted to help Kana get in the car.”
Brother Zii looked at me. From the look in his eyes, I could read that the petty man was threatening. Told me to follow his words.
“Is it true you fell out of bed, Darling?” asked Papa while turning his eyes towards me.
Papa's voice wasn't as loud as it was. Perhaps, his emotions had already begun to subside after hearing Kak Zii's false explanation.
However, that false explanation will soon be uncovered. Yeah, I was determined to tell Papa about last night. About the child who ruined me.
“Kak Zii boho—“
“What Zii said is true, Mas. Kana fell from the bed. That's why he woke up so long this morning. The wound on his leg is quite deep so Kana has difficulty walking,” said Mama who suddenly cut my words.
I don't know why I felt that Mama knew that I was going to tell Papa the truth so she deliberately cut off the conversation.
“What's right, Honey?” ask Papa again.
It seemed like there was no longer a chance to tell the truth because Mama and Kak Zii continued to look carefully at me. Clearly, they were intimidating me to make me obey their will.
Resignedly. I nodded my head too.
“Totally, Pa. Kana fell from the mattress and Kana's legs hurt.”
Hearing my real words is the lie, Papa's face turned worried.
Yeah, that's why I love Papa so much. He was so sincere about caring for and loving me, when I was not his real son.
“Today you rest, honey. Don't go to college. Later let Papa contact the campus, tell your situation,” he said gently while looking at me gently.
Still with an unsettled look, Papa turned towards Kak Zii.
“Zii, contact Erika's doctor. Have him come to take care of Kana. Don't go to the office today. Take good care of your sister. Do not let events like this happen again.”
No need to wait long. I quickly raised my voice.
“Why don't papa, Pa. Now his feet are a little off. Going to college seems like it can. Yes, you can, Pa. Kana to campus. Please..”.
Don't ask me why I should beg you like that. It's definitely because I don't want to be at home with that hypocritical guy.
It would be better if I went to college than staying at home.
I'm so sure, Brother Zii won't stay silent. He will definitely force me to m*muask*nya again.
Really, I'd rather pass out on campus because I'm out of steam than unconscious because I have to serve him.
Just imagining it really makes me nauseous. M3njijakkan.
“No, Dear. Papa doesn't want your wounds to get worse. There are no lectures for today. You should rest.”
“Ta-but, Pa Kana is fine.”
I jumped small. So Papa can believe that my legs don't hurt. Because it's like that, isn't it?
“Papa see earlier, Kana's leg has not hurt,” said I continue to try to convince Papa.
“Iya, Na. My sister agreed with Mom and Dad. Don't force yourself. We all don't want to see you sick.”
You petty man. Mama too. Why follow-up. Shouldn't he support me?
Akh. No one cares about me.
“Yes, I am sick. But, not my legs, not my physical ones that hurt. My mentally ill.”
Fiery, I looked at the man who was only a few meters away near me.
“What does that mean, Na? Why can you talk like that?”
My dad was getting interested in my words.
Before unpacking everything, I looked at their faces one by one. Starting from Papa, Mama, and finally the b3r3ngs3k.
Smile as sweetly as possible at him. And without taking my eyes off her, I said, “Night Brother Zii came to my room. He's raping—“
Not finished with my sentence, the sound of pain Mama first grab attention.
“Ad-uh, Mas.., my stomach..., my stomach hurts, Mas. To-please...!”.
Turning his gaze towards Mama who is now resting in front of us. The woman looks in pain.
Between actual or made-up pain. I don't know. But as a child, I didn't want to be so bad to Mama herself.
Without further ado, I quickly approached her who was still complaining, in pain.
“Mama why?”
“Pe-stomach Mama it hurts,” said the woman while holding her stomach.
Papa's approaching. The hand of Mama.
“Zii.., take Kana to her room,” Papa said while telling Kak Zii to come closer to me.
“Honey..., you rest, yes! Let your Mama, Papa take care,” added the middle-aged man was gentle.
“Ta.., Ta-pi, Pa..”
“Already, Na. Don't argue, Papa!”
After that, Papa brought the woman in pain back into the house. But before that, he again told his son to take care of me.
“Zii..., take your sister to her room!”
Before the end, he and Mama completely disappeared behind the door.
“I can walk by myself. Don't bother ushering in,” sambarku fast.
And before the man returned to action, immediately bring a foot to walk into the house.
Following Mama and Papa.
However, this move came to a halt after one of the ARTs at home blocked my path.
“Soaring, Bi! I don't want to be disturbed. The story next time. I'm tired.”
Bi Sirim is the ART closest to me. He often told me many things and I would be happy to hear his stories. Just glad it feels.
“Sorry, Non. Not to disturb. Aunt just wanted to let you know that there's Mas Dien in the living room. Said to ketem—”
My heart was straight. This smile on the lips can no longer be held back.
“Still, Bi,” I said immediately, cutting off his words.
Then half-running, I set foot into the living room.
If everyone doesn't want to side with me, I'm pretty sure my beloved Dien—man will definitely side with me. Yes, definitely.
