My girlfriend is my brother-in-law

Sacrificing everything

Ardi and Zahra visit Ardi's parents' house, Kevin and Rasya are already there first, as Arka and Kay pick them up from school. Every month Kay and Arka always come home to Jogja to visit Kevin, because after all they can not part with Kevin for long.

“Where is Ra, has there been any development?” ask Kay.

It's been the third month Zahra quit her job, she's totally taken a break from any activity. Ardi even forbade Zahra to do homework. Ardi only allowed Zahra to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner only, that was all their house assistants who cooked all those meals.

Zahra is actually tired of doing nothing, because her job is just reading and watching television. How not to get bored, usually Zahra every day had to check his patients, not to mention if he had to deal with the victims of the accident, it was very tiring, but also very fun because it was Zahra's dream all along, Zahra said, it can cure the sick.

Zahra looked at Ardi, she then smiled and nodded her head, “thank you for the suggestion and enter from brother,”.

Kay smiled happily, not only Kay, but Arka, Lina and Jonny were also happy to hear the good news.

“How many months has it been?” lina asked with a smile on her face.

“New six weeks, Ma,” said Ardi while holding Zahra's hand.

“Congratulations yes, Sis. finally sister's business during this time is not in vain,” said Arka.

Ardi kissed the back of Zahra's hand, “I salute Zahra's struggle so far, he even willingly stopped working just to give offspring for me. whereas I did not care about all that, I did not care at all, but Zahra was even willing to sacrifice everything,” he said proudly.

“Kak, where there is a wife who does not want her husband to be happy, even though the desire of her brother so far is only one, which is to have a child from me,” said Zahra with a smile on her face.

“Hopefully this sister's daughter is a girl, Kasian Mama, would love to have granddaughters, while all the grandchildren are guys,” said Arka.

“Mama does want to have a granddaughter girl, but if Ardi and Zahra's children have to be guys again, it's also okay, it's Mama's grandchildren too,” said Lina.

“If Papa prefers grandson boys, they can be relied upon, but if later son Ardi and Zahra girl, Papa will also love him very much,” said Jonny.

Ardi had not stopped tasting the back of Zahra's hand since then, even his other hand rubbed Zahra's stomach still flat. Kay just smiled looking at Ardi's attention to Zahra, for some reason she remembered the first time she was pregnant. Ardi is also very attentive to him, even Ardi always does whatever Kay asks.

Arka holds Kay's hand and then kisses her, “what's the matter, what are you thinking?” the question when he saw Kay was just silent while staring at Zahra and Ardi.

“Hem...” only deheman came out of Kay's mouth back then.

“What are you thinking?” ask Arka again.

Kay shook her head, “nothing, I'm just happy, Zahra's finally pregnant too. Two more years he waited, finally their efforts were not in vain,” he said slowly.

Arka brings her face closer to Kay's face, “do we need to give sister to Ansel? Now that Ansel is big, he should have another sister, a girl yes,”.

“Do not mess around, two children are enough,” Kay said while pinching Arka's stomach.

“Darling, do you want to stay here? You have not stayed here for a long time,” said Lina.

Ardi stared at Zahra, “how dear? I come with whatever you want,” he said.

“We'll stay here, Ma. Lagian Rasya must also miss his grandparents, here he also has many friends,” said Zahra.

Currently Ardi is on the front porch along with Arka. After dinner, they decided to chat on the front porch. There is something important that Arka wants to tell her with her brother.

Ardi sat leaning on the back of the chair, “what do you want to say?” tanyakanya.

“Ka, you are serious about what you say!” asked Ardi surprised.

Arka sighed, “what am I joking about, Sister. I actually wanted to tell you all this the same brother when I brought Kevin here at that time, but because brother himself was having problems with Zahra, he said, that's why I didn't say anything,” he said.

“Then what will you do? Did David and Auntie Know any of this? And Kay?”

Arka shook her head, “I don't dare to tell this to them, let alone that company is a company that Dad started from scratch. I was useless, Brother, I really believe in my business partner, but it turns out he tricked me,” he said while lowering his face.

“Ka, how much loss will the company bear?”

“All company assets when sold will not be able to cover the loss, even if I sell my house, it is still lacking. I'm risking it all, because I think that cooperation will be very profitable, but..”.

“Then how do you tell your family? You do not forget that Om David has heart disease?” ask Ardi worriedly.

Arka scooped her face huffed, “ I don't know, sister. it feels like I want to die, I don't want my family to suffer, I don't want to lose them all, I won't be able to,” he said.

“But if you keep covering this up, then things will get even more messy. Then what can I help you with?” Ardi could not bear to see his sister suffer, especially Kay's parents were already considered like his own parents.

“I want to borrow money from my sister to pay my employees' salaries, it's been two months they are not my salary. My savings are running low, and I can't say it's the same Kay, I'm afraid, sister. I'm afraid,” said Arka with a heavy sigh.

“I will help you, but your company, how?”

“I will sell all remaining assets to cover my debts, the house I used to buy, I will also sell it, everything.”

“Then after that, what will you do? Om David, Aunt Merisa, Kay and Ansel, they also need your explanation later.”

“I'll tell you everything, but after I close all my debts.” Arka stood and prostrated in front of Ardi, to make Ardi round his eyes because surprised to see what Arka did, “Kak, do you want to fulfill my one request?” tanyanya.

“Ka, wake up! What are you doing?” yell Ardi.

Arka shook her head, “I want brother to promise me first, if brother will fulfill my request,” he said.

“Alright, I promise, I will obey whatever your request.” Ardi then help Arka to stand, “what is your request?” tanyanya.

“I've been destroyed, Brother.but I don't want to until my family feels my destruction.I want you to promise to look after my family no matter what,” pinta Arka.

Ardi scrunched his forehead, “what do you mean? What are you gonna do? Are you leaving your family?” tanyanya's confused.

Arka shook her head, “I would never do that, Sister. How could I leave them, because they mean so much to me,”.

“Then mean your request was what?”

“What brother will allow me to work in sister company? I need money to support my family, and if something happens to me one day, I want my brother to look after Kay, Ansel and Kevin,” Pinta Arka.

“Which is more entitled to keep them is you, and about work, you can anytime work in my company, or you want to take care of Papa's company? Poor Papa must be tired of taking care of the company, I also can not forever take care of two companies at once.”

“What Papa will allow me to take care of the company, after Papa knows I have destroyed the company of his best friend,” said Arka anxiously.

Ardi patted Arka on the shoulder, “you take it easy, let me talk to Papa. You better think about how to tell your family, not to make Om David to shock later,” he said.

Arka nodded her head, “thank you yes, sister.thank you,” he said.
