Jum Wo Ai Ni

Can't be together

Disinfectant odor and pungent drugs. Juminten lay on the bed in a white room. An infusion needle was stuck on the back of his hand.

He had regained consciousness a moment ago, the throbbing in his head made Juminten not try to get up. The woman was alone in the large room, her eyes closed. Her tears melted again as a sense of tightness began to fill her chest.

The sound of the door being pushed from the outside, made Juminten turn his body to face the wall. He knew whose heavy steps were approaching him.

"Ai'm sober?" Dylan gently rubbed the black hair that looked slightly limp.

Juminten was silent, he bit his lower lip, trying to hold back his crying voice.

"Dad."

"You know Ai, I was very worried when I saw you standing still in the meeting room earlier. I'm so afraid something's happened to you, our real household we just went through, Ai. I love you so much, when you're unconscious. Do you know how scared I am" Dylan said in a trembling voice.

Juminten could hear the voice of the husband who sounded hoarse, because of the crying that was resistant.

Dylan leaned over, touching the tip of his head on Juminten's back.

"Don't ask for Ai's farewell, I won't be able to stay away from you. Maybe you don't believe me yet, but I beg you not to go Ai."

Juminten squeezed his chest, it hurt.

"We must separate," said Juminten.

Dylan was silent, still in the position of time. He touched the wife's hand, leading it to touch her head.

"why do you insist on splitting up Ai. Tell me how I'm supposed to keep you by my side."

"We can't be together, understand. Don't make this any harder."

Dylan re-enforced his body, with a slight force that forced him to turn Juminten's body to face him.

"Look at my eyes, what makes it so hard? Tell Ai, what happened exactly?"

Juminten shook his head, his eyes falling more and more. Dylan clasped the cold-tongued hand, kissing it lovingly.

"You love me, don't you, why do you want to leave me? At least think of our children Ai." Dylan looked into Juminten's clear eyes pleading.

"I'm sorry, I can't. We can't be together." Juminten averted his gaze, avoiding Dylan's eyes.

"What exactly is all this?! I can't, I can't. What's up with all that? You're my wife, legally and religiously, no one can ban or separate us" Dylan said in a high-pitched tone.

Dylan was confused by everything his wife said.

"We can't, we shouldn't get married" Juminten said.

"why? Why heh?!" Dylan shook Juminten's shoulder violently.

"Is there anyone else besides me? Am I not the father of your children?!"

Juminten looked up at her husband.

"Because we're Dylan's brothers. You're my brother!" Juminten replied loudly.

Dylan looked at Juminten with his eyebrows almost fused together, his common sense rejecting what he had just heard.

"You're kidding, right?"

Juminten stared fixedly at the face when the husband who looked in disbelief.

"I hope so too, but in reality we are half-brothers" replied Juminten with tears.

Dylan took a look at the clear netra that was staring at him wistfully, hoping he could see the lie there. However, nil. He found even great sadness. Dylan slumped to the floor with his hand still holding Juminten's hand, the woman staring straight at him blankly.

Actually Juminten didn't want to tell Dylan all this, he didn't want Dylan to hate Papa or Mama Mayleen. Let Juminten know the truth, but Dylan's prejudice against the babies he contains. Forcing Juminten to be honest, however, Dylan was the father of the fetus in his stomach.

Juminten took a deep breath, while holding his chest. His heart was racing so nervously. Between feeling guilty for taking a letter without permission and an overwhelming curiosity. Juminten decided to read it.

He who usually does not want to know about the affairs of others, somehow became so curious about the contents of the letter belonging to his late father-in-law. Moreover, a familiar name was written on the right end of the envelope.

D Marcel Li's

With Juminten's trembling hands, he began to open the shabby envelope he had been holding.Slowly but surely, Juminten began to read the contents of the letter.

The Dawei Marchel Li

Wherever you are now, I hope you are always in good shape. If this letter reaches you, it means that I am no longer in this world.

There's something I need to tell you. You had a daughter, only a few days ago gave birth to her. She's very pretty, like me.

I gave her a name, Arabella Juminten Marlow a beautiful name, no, sorry I still pin my family surname. I want you to find and look after her, the fruit of our love.

You know Miss Mirna, right? he promised to look after our son until you picked him up later, sorry I couldn't take care of him.

I hope your marriage to Mayleen is always happy.

Who loves you, Anastasia Marlow.

Juminten's chest feels tight, sore. Like a lightning bolt that struck his heart, a bitter reality that he had to accept.

Mirna is not her real mother, she is just a child entrusted to Mirna. And her husband Dylan was the son of her father's marriage to Mayleen, which means they were brothers.

Marchel's a familiar name, but it turns out to be his real father's name. Name mentioned by the ruler during the contract.

"Dylan is my brother, we can't get married" muttered Juminten with tears that began to reminisce.

"Then what about you guys?"

Juminten rubbed his stomach with a broken feeling, his world seemed to collapse. Just now that she was enjoying the heartfelt love of her husband, how happy she was when her happiness was complete with seeds that began to grow in her womb.

Flashback.

There was no conversation between them. Dylan was still busy thinking, trying to arrange something so unlikely that. But he also believes that Juminten is not lying, while Juminten. The woman won her stomach that hurt.

"Juminten squeezed out Dylan's hand holding it. "Kanda, please."

Dylan did not respond to Juminten, the man was still daydreaming.

"It hurts!"

Dylan was exposed hearing Juminten's agonizing groan, Dylan immediately got up.

"Why Ai? Where's that sick?" ask Dylan in a panic.

"My stomach," replied Juminten softly with hissing pain.

Dylan immediately pressed the nurse button. A doctor and nurse entered the room.

"Doctor please! my wife is in pain" said Dylan in a panic.

"You please come out for a while, we'll do an examination."

"But Doc, I'm her husband!" reject Dylan. He did not have the heart to leave Juminten who seemed to endure pain.

"We beg your cooperation, sir, we will do our best for your wife" the nurse said.

With a heavy heart, Dylan walked out of the room. Let the doctor do his job.
