ME VS MY BROTHER'S

Episode 73

“Kak, you came home Syakila just came here..she is pregnant..”.

The sentence instantly made Aksa deathly pale, while Claudia looked at Aksa in confusion. His hands drooped, so he could not even hang up from Silvana.

“Kakak??? Why??” claudia asked curiously, Aksa just looked at the girl with a confused expression also scared.

“Di..aku anterin you to the house om Zen yes..” exciting Aksa.

“Lho kok...kak not coming? Our plane ticket is tomorrow morning right???” claudia did not understand.

“I explained as soon as we get to your father's house.now let's go first to mobile” Aksa finally asked for Claudia to get into the car, if told to explain now honestly Aksa will not be able to.

After all how he could explain to Claudia, if he had impregnated Syakila, especially when the incident that night he was also not sure he had done anything to his former lover.

His bad feeling from now on finally happened too, Aksa realized he could not run anymore now, inevitably now he had to marry Syakila.

Along the way the two people did not talk to each other, they worried about each other. But unable to say a word, Claudia knew something was wrong with Aksa and her guess was correct as well, because he already knew that the strangeness that happened to Aksa today must be caused by Syakila.

The problem is he does not understand what the problem is, so Aksa who seems to be cancelling their trip instead chose to return Claudia to Zen's house rather than return together to their home.

Arriving at Zen's house, Claudia's father greeted them with a grim facial expression. Unfortunately Aksa knew very well why the middle-aged man looked unhappy.

“Dad...” Excite Claudia shrivelled.

“Ade, you take a shower first there.dad anyone wants to be talked to Aksa..” Zen smiles trying to behave normally, he said, he did not want to make his beloved daughter feel worried excessively after listening to what he said to Aksa.

Claudia nodded, understanding that her father had subtly asked her to give her alone time with Aksa.

“Ka, I went up first yes..”.

Aksa nodded, and he was welcome to sit down. The atmosphere instantly changed just like that to be extremely heavy.

“Aksa I think you know why Silvana could phone you earlier..” is clearly Zen without further ado.

Aksa was speechless, yes she knew the reason why her parents could contact them, and stated that Aksa and Claudia would cancel all their plans.

“Ya om, I understand..” said Aksa lirih.

“Actually I didn't want to tell Silvana, but she called me in a panic voice. As a mother, I think she already has a feeling that you guys have planned to run away together”

Zen understands that his ex-wife is not against the relationship of his two children, but the situation experienced by Aksa is very burdensome to give permission so that they can be together.

As a mother of course Silvana wants Aksa and Claudia to be happy, but as a human being, the middle-aged woman wants Aksa to act gently with responsibility for all her behavior.

Including marrying Syakila regardless of whether she was framed or not. At least that was captured by Zen when he spoke to his ex-wife earlier.

“You know, in the beginning I did support your relationship regardless of what you did, I just wanted real happiness for Claudia. But Silvana must have told you about Syakila's pregnancy?”

Zen sighed harshly, not wanting to hurt his daughter but on the other hand he had to uphold justice. Not because he wanted to be considered a hero, but he did not want his daughter to be happy over the suffering of others.

As a father he knew full well the feeling of anger, disappointment, and sadness when it happened to Claudia, and to be honest he did not want Claudia to be in such a position.

If he becomes the father of Syakila with his own hands he will surely drag Aksa to safety. Thus he revealed further the plans of Aksa and Claudia.

“I ask you to take responsibility, marry the woman and try to forget Claudia, you may not be a match, you must accept and learn to organize your life in the future.

“I understand om, but honestly I am not sure if the one in Syakila's womb is my son om..”

“Aksa, I know you're not sure about that yet, but there's nothing to relieve you either. The problem is that you are indeed having sex with the woman” Zen also knows, if behind the complicated problems of Aksa and Claudia, there is interference from Reiki. But he could not arbitrarily accuse his nephew just like that, without concrete evidence.

“Now you better go home, finish this maslaah with a cool head. My advice is that if you don't believe it's your son, please get a DNA test. The most important thing at this time is that you do not just run away from the problem” explained Zen.

Aksa was down, he knew that he could not run anymore and had to take responsibility immediately.

Her tears broke at that very instant, her future together with Claudia was shattered already. He may not want to give up but the conditions forced him to do so.

Zen felt sorry for Aksa, but he could not do much either. Dare to do it must dare to be responsible.

Yeah, that was a couple of weeks ago…

Now Aksa is in front of the glass, with a neat suit.

In a few moments he will officially become the husband of Syakila, at least that has been planned by the entire extended family.

He did not focus, for the past few days he could not even fall asleep at all, closing his eyes was already very difficult for him.

Not only for her, Claudia also felt the same way. His decision to leave has not been told to Aksa, honestly he tried to avoid his stepbrother.

Claudia is now standing in front of the door of Aksa's room, this girl is determined to leave. Because after the Kabul ijab process, this girl will immediately fly out of the country with her father.

Though hesitant, he keeps knocking on Aksa's bedroom door. On the other side, the young man stood up and opened the door.

“Kak...” exclaimed Claudia, she struggles to be as normal as possible.

“Claudia..”.

“Can I come in???” claudia asked with a smile.

Aksa did not answer, he just shifted from his place and let the girl he loved enter.

“Waaah I do not know the room brother who is usually a mess can be this weepy..keren also the person who is taunting.” Claudia chuckles, he has no intention to look somber in front of Aksa.

Whatever happens to them, each must continue to live his life, they cannot stop to live just because they cannot be together.

But unlike Claudia, Aksa could not act ordinary. His emotions were mixed, difficult to pin down.

“You just want a comment about my room??” ask Aksa lirih.

Claudia who stood her back to Aksa adjusted her breathing, she wanted to cry but could not. If he does Claudia believes Aksa will be even harder to move on.

Claudia quickly turned her body over while smiling very broadly.

“Ya dong..I just want to tell my sister so don't get up early again…flight me at 5pm because.”.

Aksa's eyes were wide-eyed, flight where he thought. He did not know about the plan of the girl he loved.

“Ka...sister must learn to be happy, I have moved on brother also must be so ok?” Claudia.

Aksa let out her tears, how could she accept Claudia going away from him.

“Di...I can't..” said Aksa while pulling Claudia in his arms.

“Sister can and sister should..” Claudia hugs back Aksa very tightly. This was the last thing in Claudia's mind.

“Gak In I don't want..”

“Kak...I want a strong brother..kakak is not alone, there is a mother who will always support sister..” Claudia then release the man's arms.

“I said yes brother...” Claudia said, turning around and walking towards the door leaving Aksa petrified there.

“Claudia..”.

Claudia turned her body, looking at the aksa who was trying to smile.

“You happy?” ask Aksa with a witty.

Claudia nodded, trying to keep smiling even though it was very difficult for her.

“If sister???” ask Claudia.

Aksa lowered his head for a moment, this was finally. He lifted his head and looked into Claudia's eyes, and tried to smile. “I'm happy if you're happy too.”.
