Marry my Raise Brother
Chapter 24
“I'm getting used to living here, Honey.” Cindy kissed her husband's lips. Flicked fingers with long fingernails painted bright red appear to dance on Erka's chin.
“Don't make it up, Baby. From the beginning, you refused to stay here. Why not go now?”
“Since the beginning you changed the plan. Why change your mind now? I don't mind staying here. Moreover, Daddy, Mommy, and your little lover will settle in Bandung.” Cindy smiled cunningly. She was happy when her husband's face turned dim as Ayleen's name slid smoothly from her lips.
“Suach to you. Never touch Ayleen. I'll kill you until Ayleen cries.” Erka threatened.
“Uh, I'm afraid.” Cindy pretended to be scared.
“Bigger! You mocked me?” Erka pulled the rough wrist of his wife and slammed the woman onto the bed.
Cindy jerks. The woman shrieked as she caught a flash of anger in Erka's eyeballs.
“What do you want?” Cindy panicked, as Erka walked over. The man's finger was pointed at his wife.
“I'm not afraid of your threats. Just don't bother Ayleen. I'll make sure your life won't be quiet!” Erka took off the shirt from her body, following the pants came down to the ankles.
“I grant your request, not because I fear you. I just don't want Ayleen to get hurt. Don't touch him. Ayleen doesn't know anything.”
Cindy's fear slowly evaporated. He studied an almost innocent handsome man who stood defiantly in front of him.
“I love Ayleen. Hugely. I regretted refusing it first. But I can't back down anymore. I'm just fixing what I can fix. Ayleen and I didn't do anything. I knew he would stay in Bandung, meaning we wouldn't meet at all times. That is, I will miss him. That's it.” Erka.
***
After a night in which Erka and Ayleen sleep together and get caught by Cindy, everything changes, including the eldest son, Aryya Mighty Hutomo Putra. No more, the man who greeted all the family members every time he came home from the office, Erka became cold and untouchable.
The peak is three days before the departure of Hutomo, Veronica, and Ayleen to Bandung. Hutomo's eldest son no longer returned home, presenting a question in everyone's minds. Cindy who did not know what to answer each asked by other family members, could only shake her head.
Hutomo's gaze was fixed on Ersa, the old man looking for answers.
“I don't know anything, Dad.” Ersa said as she fed the soup into her mouth.
“Is there a problem in the office?” Hutomo is still trying to get answers.
Ersa shakes.
Distracting his wife, Hutomo returns looking for answers from his wife.
“I don't know anything. Lately Erka is indeed rare at home.” Veronica tried to explain what she knew. The woman looked towards Ayleen, looking for an answer that her daughter might have kept from everyone all along.

Ayleen was tidying up his clothes and stuffing them in a suitcase as the phone on the bed clinked softly. A notification of incoming chat from the green application that appears on the screen turns on.
“Kak Erka?” Ayleen.
The man who had been riling everyone all night, suddenly sent a message to her. Unusually, lately Erka seemed to avoid. In fact, his elder brother did not explain anything after the night where they slept together and caught Cindy.
[Meet me, in front of the gate tonight. I'll pick you up.]
Ayleen gulped. Honestly, he was confused. The girl again flinched when the message came in on the same app.
[I'm in the car. I was waiting for you to come to me. I have something to tell you, Leen.]
Second message from the same sender. Ayleen's fingers were trembling. He doesn't know what to answer. Follow Erka's request or just ignore her.
