Marrying an Adopted Brother

Anton's Regret

Before returning home, Anton buys his favorite sweet martabak Dinda. When he got home, Anton entered the house. He felt the atmosphere at home was not as usual. Even the one who opened the gate was Simbok, but usually Inah who always opened the door for him.

In his confusion, Anton put the martabak he bought at the dinner table. Because it felt lonely, he thought Dinda was in his room. Then he quickly climbed the stairs, knocking on Dinda's door. Not in the lock, Anton opens the door and does not find Dinda in his room.

Anton started to panic, he came out of Dinda's room and went straight into her room. But he did not find Dinda in his room, so he opened the bathroom door and still could not find her. He thinks Dinda went out to meet his friend.

"Mbok, Shock!" Anton shouted from the second floor in front of his room.

"Yes Den...." Simbok Sahut.

"Dinda said something to Simbok no?" Ask again.

"So Non Dinda and Inah went out Den." Simbok replied honestly, but he did not tell her where Dinda and Inah were going.

Anton let out a long sigh, he went into his room and opened his phone. Intend to call Dinda and question her whereabouts. Just now he wanted to call Dinda, but he realized that his cell phone contact was blocked by Dinda. So Anton can't reach Dinda by phone.

The awkwardness began to be felt, Anton took his work phone and he found his contact was also blocked by Dinda. Frustrated, Anton sits on the edge of the bed, about to call Yuki. But not only did he call Yuki, he saw a piece of paper on the nightstand with a ballpoint pen over it.

Anton immediately took the paper and read it. His eyes reddened, the look on his face changed instantly. Between anger, sadness, disappointment mixed into one. His heart felt tight, his tears began to pool in the corner of his eyes.

"Sister dear, I'm sorry Dinda who always makes you angry or disappointed. Dinda is very grateful, for the past ten years, my sister has loved and loved me like her own sister. But your mischievous sister is not overstepping, what you're accusing Dinda of, it's not true. The son that Dinda bladders is brother's flesh blood, I've never done that with a man other than brother. Dinda knows, big brother loves Loren very much and Dinda does not want to be lazy in your relationship. If this child is born, Dinda will take care of our divorce papers. Brother don't worry, Dinda's departure is not because Dinda is angry with her brother or sister's treatment is not good to Dinda, but Dinda wants to set Dinda's future for the future. Oh yes brother! Forgive Dinda, because Dinda took sister's money without sister's knowledge. I took your phone and I transferred a considerable amount of money to my account. Later if Dinda has worked, I will return the money brother (but not promise). Don't look for me, be happy with Brother Loren. Dinda please, brother don't fire Rizal or hate him, he's a good and smart man who is helping his family's finances. Dinda Kirana's." Fill in a letter from Dinda to Anton.

Anton couldn't hold back his tears. Without realizing it, his cheeks had been soaked by his own tears that could not stop. He realized his unforgivable mistake. Accusing Dinda and not acknowledging the fetus that Dinda was carrying. Though in fact he who had obtained Dinda's virginity, but because of his momentary emotions, instead made him regret for the rest of his life.

Dinda's pregnancy was supposed to be her happiness, but because of her emotion-controlled thinking, that happiness was lost. Even Anton wasn't sure if he could still feel that happiness.

His heart ached, not because it hurt but because it hurt the heart of the person he loved. Remembering his actions that have no heart to Dinda, so that makes his heart hurt. Thinking about where Dinda went and thinking about the fetus in Dinda's womb.

Dinda, Yuki and Rizal were still chatting in the living room, while Inah was already sleeping. While eating snacks, the three of them chatted to and fro. Telling while they were in high school, Rizal did not shyly tell his interest to Dinda since the first grade of High School.

"You know, I've been interested in you since first grade High School. You were in the classroom alone, because you forgot to bring a pencil and you borrowed it from me. From then on I secretly liked you." Rizal confessed his feelings.

"But we're getting close to the third grade! Then you are deliberately good as I can decet-deket same Dinda?" Sahut Yuki.

They chatted like teenagers who had no burdens. Dinda also looks happy, for a moment she forgets the problem. As usual, when he was with Rizal, he felt comfortable.

Only the two of them sat on the living room sofa. Rizal looked at Dinda, then he got up from his seat and approached Dinda. He hugged Dinda tightly, as if he was afraid of losing her.

"Din, I know what you're feeling right now. But please, stay happy! Don't think of anything negative, if you're officially divorced with Anton's brother, I'll marry you soon." Rizal said while hugging Dinda.

"Thank you for accepting my situation and my baby Zal. You're the first person who can understand me." Sahut Dinda who felt touched by Rizal's kindness.

Because tomorrow Rizal has to work, he said goodbye to Dinda to go home. Rizal also tells Dinda not to hesitate to ask for help if she needs something.

With a heavy heart, Rizal leaves Dinda's house. Actually he wanted to always accompany Dinda, but for fear of slander, he was forced to go home. Likewise with Dinda, he wants to always be with Rizal.

After Rizal came home, Dinda then took his phone. Open the M-banking application, to check his account balance. Dinda is quite calm to have money for labor costs and also daily necessities.

"Sorry brother, I took a lot of your money! Brother himself started, so bear the consequences." Mumbled Dinda.

The house he contracted for was not very big, so Dinda did not feel afraid. Even so, Dinda still asked to accompany Inah to sleep in her room.

*****

I don't know how many hours Anton cried, regretting what he did to Dinda. Until his face was swollen, his eyes were red from crying for too long. Then he got up from his seat, went to the bathroom to clean his body. Good memories with Dinda.

After the shower, his stomach was hungry. He then came out of his room and went downstairs. Grab a package containing sweet martabak on the dining table. Again he remembered with Dinda who really liked the sweet martabak.

"Den, Aden hasn't slept?" Tanya Simbok surprised Anton.

"Not Mbok! When Dinda left, there was something she said no Mbok?" Anton asked back.

Even the innocent Simbok told what Dinda said before she left. Fortunately Simbok did not know where Dinda went, if he knew for sure Simbok had told Anton.

"That means Dinda went with Inah?" Ask Anton.

"Yes Den, Non Dinda invited Inah." Answer Symbok.

Anton gave all the martabaks to Simbok, then he ran up the stairs. He went into his room and grabbed his cell phone. He called someone many times, but never once his call was raised. It made him frustrated, annoyed that he dropped his body on the bed.

Seriate....
