My Lovely Cousin's

Chapter 52: Don't Look for me

Tahira and Saga emerged from the second floor into the living room, where there were already three strangers who were completely unknown to Tahira. While both of Ran's parents left the living room because they felt they had no business with it especially by Ran's mother who did not understand the Indonesian language. Ran still sits with them to accompany and serve the guest well even if they are not his guests.

Tahira and Saga were sitting side by side, both of Raka's parents were looking at her longingly. However, Tahira was still their biological child whom they had entrusted to Aunt Yumna. Tahira looked at them with question marks in his head. Then Mama Raka smiled as she started explaining everything to Tahira.

"We're your real parents, son. And Raka is your twin sister." said the middle-aged woman.

Honestly speaking, Tahira felt very confused after hearing the statement of the woman before him. It's like not believing.

"really?" tahira's tone sounded so confused.

The middle-aged woman looked at her husband as if she wanted to hug Tahira. Pak Adijaya nodded understanding the gaze of the wife.

"Do Sofiyyah, and explain to him that he is our biological child" said Mr. Adijaya who now mentions his wife's name.

Sofiyyah got up and immediately stepped closer to Tahira while sitting next to the girl. The saga shifted to make room for the woman to sit between herself and Tahira. Sofiyyah embraced Tahira with affection, seeing that made Raka feel touched. Because after this he will live with his twin sister whom he recently knew. Raka smiled.

Sofiyyah retelling the story between herself and Aunt Yumna in the past, Tahira listened carefully.

"So, Saga isn't my brother?" Tahira asked to be sure.

Tahira stared one by one at the faces of the three strangers who were actually his real family. They all nodded with confidence.

If he is not the brother of Saga, then it means that the relationship he has been in with Saga is not a mistake. But unfortunately yesterday he was married to Ran. As soon as his heart felt struck, this time it felt completely different. There is regret in accepting the mother's last request that has passed. If he knew from the beginning then he would not want to marry Ran and at that time would also choose to marry Saga. Tahira looked at Saga with a sorry look.

'If I had known, I would never have married except Saga, because it turns out that he was not my brother all along. Aaaakhh.' cried Tahira in heart.

Then he returned the embrace of the woman who was his real mother. Tahira wept knowing all these truths, and also a sense of remorse.

After a while, they all found out that Tahira was the daughter of Adijaya. Then it was time for Saga to explain her relationship with Tahira without involving Ran and Tahira's marriage yesterday.

"So you love Tahira?" asked Mr. Adijaya with a serious face. Saga nodded quickly.

"Then I will hand it to you but marry him first" said Mr. Adijaya.

Instantly Saga's heart was racing. How can he marry Tahira while the girl is now Ran's wife. Saga looked into Ran's eyes as if asking for the man's opinion. Ran lightly nodded his head, because indeed they had previously made a deal that contained Ran would return Tahira to Saga in time.

Before replying to the middle-aged man before her, Saga gulped her saliva first while gathering strength.

"Alright, I am willing." replied Saga who made Tahira's heart happy, because soon she did not need to feel guilty to Zara for her forced marriage to Ran.

"We'll talk about this later. Now the most important thing is that we will bring Tahira back together to the villa in the next village. Are you ready for Tahira?" Adijaya looked at his daughter.

"Mmm, I'm not ready yet. Can you come back tomorrow? I need time to pack my things" Tahira said with his head lowered.

"Well, if that makes you comfortable. Then we'll come again tomorrow." Sofiyyah smiled.

They got up to say goodbye, and Raka walked closer to Tahira, throwing a warm smile. Then she hugged her twin sister. Tahira was initially nervous but eventually returned the embrace of his brother.

"I did not expect to have a twin sister as beautiful and as good as you, may goodness always be with us" said Raka softly.

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm so glad to know all this truth. And I'm grateful, sis." Tahira replied with a smile.

Raka's speech invites a sense of wonder for Ran, because as far as he knows Raka is a bad person, but why is now so different. Then she remembered Zara's remark that Raka had changed and had apologized for her mistake.

'Maybe Zara is right about this child' Ran said in his heart while watching Raka and Tahira.

Eventually Tahira and Raka let go of their body link. Before long Mr. Adijaya said goodbye to return to their villa.

"We'll be back tomorrow. Saga, take good care of Tahira." said Mr. Adijaya while gently stroking his daughter's hair.

"Alright uncle." replied Saga with a slight bow of his head.

Mr. Adijaya, Bu Sofiyyah and Raka finally left the residence of aunt Yumna leaving Ran, Saga and Tahira in the living room.

"I have to give my parents an understanding of our divorce" Ran said starting a conversation with Tahira.

Tahira nodded quickly, the girl was very enthusiastic about it because after the divorce with Ran she would marry Saga.

"And.. We have to tell this to Zara" Saga later said.

"Yes you're right. I want to go see him first." Ran got up and then moved.

"I'm coming too. I feel so guilty for her." Tahira rose up to follow Ran.

After arriving in front of Zara's room, Ran immediately opened the door. He no longer needed to knock. The door opened and did not indicate Zara's presence in the room. Ran walked in while calling out Zara's name. There's no answer.

Tahira and Saga enter the room and find Ran standing while calling Zara.

"Where's Zara?" ask Saga.

Ran turned his head towards them while raising his shoulders a sign of not knowing the whereabouts of Zara.

"Tahira, try to check the bathroom" asked Saga who was immediately moved by Tahira.

Tahira returns from the bathroom disappointed to find Zara's whereabouts. Instantly Ran was worried, there was a strange feeling floating in his chest.

"Is he out?" tanya Ran tried to calm down.

"Why are you even asking us? You were the first one in this house this morning. How could you not have met him?" Saga is a little annoyed at the behavior of Ran who does not know the whereabouts of Zara.

"I didn't see it, I just went home with autosan and okaasan. I thought she came home with you." replied Ran.

"Why are you so stupid, huh? I just went home with Tahira earlier. Did you see us coming with Zara? No." said Saga this time he was really upset.

Ran started to get emotional because of Saga's words.

"You told me to go home with my parents, why blame me?"

"Basic you're really stupid! Why are you lacking huh? I mean, I told you to go home with your parents to hang out with Zara. But you left him." Saga looks at Ran's face.

"Dragon speak you Saga.." Ran's speech was cut off.

"Enough!" shouts Tahira reprimanding both.

Ran and Saga gasped at Tahira's reprimand, making them instantly aware of their behavior.

"Sorry." said Ran in the lowest voice.

"You should take the initiative to call him. Not even accusing each other. Brother Ran, call Zara now." said Tahira.

Ran nodded then then took his phone in his pants pocket. Ran called Zara's phone, connected. But the sound of the phone ringing coming from the direction of the bed shocked them. They looked at each other and walked closer to the bed. On top of Zara's cell phone bed rang, it turned out that the girl had left her.

"His phone is here, where is he?" tanya Ran who immediately turned off her call and took Zara's phone.

He looks at the lockscreen of Zara's phone, which shows a photo of the two of them wearing a black couple that day. Ran smiled. It turns out that Zara is angry at him, still the girl is still putting up their photos and that means Zara still loves him.

"Sir Ran." call Tahira, the girl is holding a piece of paper she took from the nightstand.

Ran turned his head and approached a little to find out what Tahira was holding.

"What's that?" ask Ran.

"Oh no. Oh my God, is this a bad thing? Zara's.. Zara seems to have left this village." Tahira said in a frightened tone after reading the letter.

"You mean?" Ran was still digesting Tahira's speech.

Tahira handed the paper to Ran and began to feel tight in his chest. She hugged Saga to cry.

"What's wrong?" ask Saga wonder. Tahira did not answer.

Ran read the letter.

Whoever found this letter.. I'm apologizing.. I'm goin.. The reason for my departure was because I felt unable to be among you.. I realize my presence only troubles you.. Don't lookfor me.. I didn't go back to Kak Ran's apartment.. I want to find another place to stay so as not to disturb Tahira and Kak Ran's marriage.. Oh yes, congratulations on your marriage.. Say sorry to Uncle Akira and Aunt Megumi.. Once again forgive me.. I can't be among you because I'm not Tahira who has Ran as husband and Saga as sister.. I'm just a pathetic little girl.. Don't ever look for me..

After reading the letter Ran immediately clenched his hands tightly so that two phones in his hand fell.

'Why are you doing this? Tahira and I are even getting divorced. And what are you going for? Is that you leaving me? Nah! I don't want any of that to happen, I won't let you get out of my life. It won't. After my divorce with Tahira I'll look for you wherever it is. I already love you so much. Don't make me sick as a result of your departure Ran said in his heart.

"It's all your fault! You left it at the funeral by yourself and you don't seem to care about it either. That's why he left." accused Tahira in a hoarse voice for holding back a cry.

Saga calmed Tahira by stroking her shoulder elus while saying "Follow, calm down."

Ran looked down and looked at the mobile phone lying on the floor. He lowered his body and picked up the two phones.

"I'll look for him!" said Ran with a firm tone.
