"Here, let's go down" Bram suddenly appeared behind the car door with a flat face. He opened the car door and extended his hand to me.
I looked at Bram, there was something he wanted to say behind his brown eyes. I was forced to welcome Bram's hand and follow his steps to the main door of his house.
Bram invited me to pray magrib congregation in a regular place, with his employees. Bram's parents are outside.
After finishing the prayer, Bram took me to the backyard that had a swimming pool. We both sat facing each other and saw the look on Bram's face tense, sad, scared and confused. It's not usually like that.
"Zanu, today is the time for me to say everything. A little bit you know where it is going. Before I explain, I'm sorry about the meeting at the cafe. I was wrong to make up my mind without asking you first" Bram paused with a sigh.
"Zanu, in the cafe there is cheating. I'm looking for an assistant manager at random, so I can handle the assigned job. Its function is to find out the fraud is evidence. Starting from the Manager, the finance section, the manager section and the arrangement of shopping for goods. Your function is there to get what information is obtained from the Assistant Manager. Only you can handle it Zanu," Bram explained.
Ow hell! Why is it like this? Why is the matter being thrown at me? Am I a cop who has to investigate a case?
"If you feel any objection, it doesn't matter to me. I can send someone else to investigate. Now, let's forget about that first. I want to talk to you seriously. Are you ready to listen to him?" Bram looked at me deeply, he stroked my left cheek with a bitter feeling.
"Yes Brother. I was ready to listen to him, from a long time away," I replied.
"alright. Zanu, my parents used to betroth me to his friend Papi's son. As time went on, my parents didn't care about it anymore, all the decisions were in my hands. But, this story is beyond my family's expectations and that of the female side, where I should marry her," Bram kept silent for a while. He's waiting for my gelagat.
The deg! Did I not hear wrong? Bram's matched? And that means I can't have it?!
"The woman's family begged to help address the problems they were facing. Her sister is being held hostage and requires me to get married as soon as possible. If the marriage is already in the title, then his brother will be released. But, I can't marry her under abnormal circumstances. If I had to, I would blame myself. For that, I want to solve this problem in my own way. And the solution, I have to be in America" Bram explained at length.
"If you can tell, who is this woman?" my many. I don't know why I just asked that question.
Bram was silent, he looked up at the sky, as if it was hard to tell me.
"If I tell you, please promise me, you won't grieve or cry. Can you?" ask Bram.
I nodded, though in my heart it was uncertain to keep that promise.
"That woman is Prita, your friend" Bram replied softly and he dared not look at me.
Duars!! A pritaaa?! Why should Prita? Oh my God, why is this?
I don't know why my body suddenly felt weak and helpless.
"I can't marry Prita because she's not normal. While waiting for Prita to recover, I had to search for her brother's whereabouts and investigate who was behind all this. Atif I was assigned to always be on Prita's side, because they both love each other. Though it's actually my job because she's my future wife,"
I could no longer hear Bram's explanation. I tried to let go of Bram's embrace in a rebellious manner. Bram hugged me even tighter, trying to calm me down.
"Zanu! Be quiet! Listen to me carefully! I'm not done talking yet" Bram scolded me.
"Zanu, before Prita recovers, I will do everything in my power. If I have found the culprit, then the match is no more. And I can come back to you. But if I'm not done by the time Prita recovers, I'm forced to and she'll be married. Therefore, at the beginning I have said that all this is not certain. Can you wait for me?" ask Bram.
"Sister, why didn't you say from the beginning if you were going to be betrothed to Prita? I was confused as to what to answer," my chest began to tighten and the sadness in my heart began to crack out.
"Zanu, I love you so much. I hope you will wait for me. But if fate says otherwise, will you forgive me Zanu?" Bram looked at me fixedly in his arms.
I was silent a thousand languages and somehow my tears flowed down my cheeks. Bram wiped my tears.
"Here you go, don't cry. I am also sad to see you like this. If Prita knew about this, she would have rejected it too. But the marriage had to be done for the safety of two families and included the company of my family and Prita. Again, will you forgive me Zanu?" ask Bram for the second time.
"Yes, I'm sorry" that's all I can say to Bram.
Bram looked at me and he began to touch my lips warmly, softly and tenderly. It was clear that Bram's eyes were full of love, affection and the fear of losing me. I don't know why, I returned Bram's touch, as if I didn't want to take it off. Moreover, Bram will leave and is not sure when will come back again.
The touch was getting smoldering, Bram touching my neck with his gentle kisses. He also touched my ear lobe so that it made my lust start to rise and tremble. This was the first time I had felt the turmoil of pleasure that I myself did not understand with my own body.
To be sure, I don't want to lose Bram. But I also don't want Bram to touch my body any deeper, even though I actually wish Bram was the first to enjoy it in a bond that is marriage.
"Ohhhh..,"
I heard Bram muttering in my ear. He began to feel the tremors in his own body. I touched Bram's neck, ears and chest. We both dissolve with our passions and feelings. As if I didn't want to end up here.
"Stop Zanu's! I don't want to continue it anymore. Ii'm sorry. I don't want to tarnish the story of the two of us with indecent things" Bram suddenly stopped and realized his mistake. He let go of his embrace and stood up while tidying up the shirt that was already open at the top.
He turned to look at me and fixed my slanted upper clothes. I was just dumbfounded to see Bram's actions. I almost fell into a perverse lust and I did not expect to be that brave. Is that the power of my love? Or the fear of losing?
Bram, I really love you. I don't think I can be separated from you. Don't leave me alone Bram.
