My Lovely Cousin's

My Lovely Cousin's
Chapter 42: Prejudice



The girl was sitting on the bed breathing heavily from the nightmare that made her wake up like a possessed person. Ran who felt the movement of Zara also woke up and felt anxious. He gently stroked the girl's shoulder and grabbed her.


"Calm down." pinta Ran.


After a few minutes, Zara finally freed herself from the fear she had just experienced. As he once said, Ran's embrace was the best place to dispel his fear.


"I've been better." said Zara in a weak tone.


Now the narrow-eyed man took off his wound and looked at Zara's face which looked faint due to the room lights that were deliberately extinguished.


"Do you want to tell a story?" asked Ran in a slow tone.


Zara bit her lower lip while adjusting her breath which occasionally sounded claustrophobic.


"I.. I saw it in my dream. Sa.. Saga.." Zara stammered and stopped her words, hesitating. His fear hit him again.


Seeing that seemed to make Ran understand the situation of the frightened little girl next to him. He stroked Zara's shoulders slowly until she was completely calm.


"I dreamed Saga and Tahira playing with fire inside their house. Then when the fire grew, somehow you and I were there and we burned together inside the house. I panicked from seeing all those events, it felt faint but it was very frightening. I also saw the full moon after the fire. Sis, I'm afraid." said Zara who then cried.


Ran immediately hugged Zara tightly while channeling a sense of calm. Ran digested the statement about Zara's dream earlier, but he did not understand the meaning of the dream.


"Calm down! It might just be a sleeping flower." said Ran soberly, he no longer knew what to say.


Time shows at 04:35, before dawn. Zara leaned against the head of the bed with Ran who was always guarding her and calming her from fear.


"Sister, what if they both love each other?" zara said suddenly.


Ran frowned not understanding what the girl was saying.


"I mean. They have a forbidden relationship.. Inbreeding." explains Zara.


Ran flinched in disbelief at Zara's current line of thought. Although in his country such relationships occur a lot but it feels very impossible if in their families touched it.


"Don't think like that, just assume your dream is just a sleeping flower." Ran refuted.


"Now I don't even bother about the dream anymore" said Zara who sounded ambiguous in Ran's ear.


"You mean?" Ran frowned.


"I opened my eyes a little night when you took the opportunity to kiss me. Then I turned to look at them and.. They're.. Kissing." said Zara who sounded reluctant to mention the last word.


"really?" Ran felt disbelief.


"Actually I saw it on the verge of my consciousness." instantly Zara also felt doubtful.


"Hopefully you've seen it wrong." Ran looked at the girl.


"I hope so. I don't want them to do that either." Zara shook her head slowly as if brushing her mind.


"Go back to rest." Ran finally broke his body in a mattress followed by Zara.


...*****...


Time showed at 08.30 am, Zara hurried down from the bed because she felt very anxious to throw away the hajat. He staggered towards the bathroom in the room. But the door was locked, and his desire to throw away was getting worse.


"Geez, I can't stand it." holding her stomach.


He began to think about how to get out of the problem. Then it flashed through his mind to go to the bathroom located in Saga's room.


"All right, I'll be there." he murmured.


As fast as lightning he ran towards Saga's room. As he passed through the kitchen, Tahira greeted him but he did not rebuke him because of the urgent call of nature.


"He? What's wrong with her?" ask Tahira alone.


When it came to the front of the room the girl's Saga knocked quickly.


"The saga.. Sagas.. Come outside!" he shouted impatiently.


After a few seconds the door to Saga's room opened and he was surprised to see Zara coming with a pale face and looking like a hurry.


"You why?" ask Saga.


The girl did not reply, she immediately barged in and made Saga wonder.


"Hey, what do you want?" ask Saga a little furiously.


Zara turned around for a moment and stared at the plea so that Saga would not get angry.


"I'll borrow your bathroom for a minute."


Saga was again surprised by the girl's words that had disappeared behind the bathroom door.


...*****...


Zara ran back after coming out of Saga's room. The girl was like a person who was finding a hidden treasure, but her face was not happy but riled up in disappointment. Her feet kept running small across the apartment looking for Saga's whereabouts. He wanted to punch his cousin in the face. Then he remembered that Tahira had been in the kitchen and immediately his legs were thrown into the kitchen.


"Damn! Where are they." said Zara who felt desperate because they did not find Tahira or Saga there.


He sat down in front of the pentri while sipping a glass of water. Before long Ran came and greeted him.


"Hey, what are you doing?" ran asked, at that moment his gaze was attached to Zara's hand which was firmly grasping the glass.


"Chibi-chan, are you okay?" ask Ran again to find out what's wrong with this girl.


Zara turned to look at Ran with disappointment that was actually intended for Saga.


"You can't believe what I found in Saga's bathroom" said the girl, who again sounded ambiguous.


"You mean?" Ran frowned.


"It's hard to believe. There's a consumable safety there." Zara now shows an anxious expression.


"What's? Really true?" asked Ran who seemed to be in disbelief.


"You doubt me?" Zara began to get emotional.


"No, that's not what I meant. Try to explain your assumptions, I will try to conclude." replied Ran.


Zara held back her emotional turmoil, then adjusted her breathing.


"I feel like they're stuck in the wrong love. Last night I was still hesitant after seeing them kissing in my semi-conscious state, but that consumable safety convinced me. They've been.." Zara stopped her words that began with a passionate tone and then immediately disappointment burst into her chest. Zara closed her eyes deeply.


"So they incest?" asked Ran who was trying to conclude.


Zara did not reply, the girl only snorted many times withstanding her anger and disappointment. Because he did not expect the man older than 6 years had done something unnatural and despicable from any side and from any circles.


"Where are they? I was eager to meet Saga and slap the man in the face" said Zara, who had unwittingly lost control.


Seeing Zara's unusual facial expression made Ran surprised, the reason the girl was never this angry and plus her face darkened due to anger.


"Calm yourself. We could be wrong." Ran held onto both of Zara's shoulders.


"What else is wrong?" zara asked sharply and began to show her cold face.


'Oh, my God, this girl has a cold side, too. I've been with him for a year and I just found out he has this kind of emotion. Frighteningly.' Inner Ran.


Ran turned to Zara's hand which was tightly grasping the glass. The glass almost broke. Really horrible. Ran immediately removed the glass from Zara's grasp and slipped it in the pentri. A second later the man clasped Zara's hand firmly so that the girl would come to her senses and be able to control herself.


"Calm down! We have to make sure everything by asking them not to be impressed badly thought." said Ran.


The girl digested Ran's speech. Is correct. Don't let himself just be bad. Zara finally restrained all the emotions that ignited her and began to control herself.


"You're right. But what if my assumption is correct?" ask Zara.


"If your assumptions are correct, then you must accept" replied Ran looking so calm.


"What?" a sharp look was on Ran.


Actually in the mind Ran also guessed this problem because it could be Zara's assumption is right. But, he tried his hardest to calm down in front of Zara. Because if they both spew fire, then there will only be a fire in this matter. So Ran tries to become water to extinguish Zara's tinge of fire.


"What do you feel when you're with me?" tanya Ran made Zara frown.


"Why ask? Obviously not, when I'm with you, I feel comfortable and loved." Zara answered sharply and was confused by Ran's question.


"It's possible that Saga and Tahira feel the way we feel, Me and you who love each other and give warmth. It's just that they're misplaced." Ran explained still with a calm expression.


Zara just understood the meaning of Ran's strange question earlier. "But this can't be left sis, they will be in danger if we establish such an unnatural relationship." Zara's face was again anxious.


"I've heard that incest will affect their offspring, and they will also invite disaster for themselves and the people around them" Zara added.


"Don't think too far, we're still assuming, unproven. The most important thing now is that we have to prove the truth first. If the reality is like that, then we can only resign. There's nothing we can do, they have a choice and are free to decide their lives." Ran said.


Zara turned her face towards the middle room, she began to massage her temple. Dizziness.


"Be as usual when they come back. Keep your emotions, okay!" Ran pulled the girl's chin to look at him.


"Wakatta." replied Zara nodding lethargicly.


Not without reason Ran told Zara to be calm. This problem is a sensitive issue if one steps then everything will fall apart. It is possible that Saga and Tahira will hate them if they directly judge and say harshly to the brothers' wrong relationship.


Shortly afterwards the apartment door sounded a sign someone entered. Afterwards it appears that Saga and Tahira are walking parallel to the kitchen about to approach them.


"Remember! Act as usual!" whispered Ran.
