ONE NIGHT With BROTHER

Chapters 17. ONE NIGHT WITH BROTHER-IN-LAW.

Barra could not accept Papa and Mama who seemed to corner Khayra. The woman wanted to say what she felt.

Which woman wouldn't be jealous if she was in Khayra's position. When contacting her husband but the voice of the woman he heard.

Not just a defense but blame. Barra knew surely the heart of the woman was currently sick to hear the words of her parents.

"Why do Mom and Dad blame Khayra? It is not natural for a jealous wife to hear a woman's voice while lifting her husband's phone. Don't ask for understanding from him. I'm a man, I'd be jealous and suspicious if I called my wife but I heard a man's voice" Barra said.

"It's not that Papa blames Khayra. Papa just wants to show if it's normal for a secretary to pick up his boss' phone" Papa said.

"Mama also often hears women's voices when contacting your Papa. So Mama said it was natural for a secretary to hold her boss's phone. Khayra should get used to it. She has to learn to be a businesswoman's wife" her mommy chimps.

"Natural things according to Papa and Mama? Is it natural for a secretary to admit to a room with her superior. Said that his boss was sleeping next to him at the moment. I can't justify it, Pa," Khayra said with tears in her eyes.

Why is he the one who seems wrong here? She just wanted to say nothing of her husband. Wants to be defended but blamed.

Khayra stood up from her seat. He doesn't feel worthy to be here. None of her husband's family supported her. He better go.

"Sorry Papa, Mama, I say goodbye. My head's dizzy. I want to rest" said Khayra.

"Where are you going? We're staying here!" ferdi. Khayra paused her intention and sat down again.

"If you want to rest after this. Be polite with Papa and Mama. Appreciate their invitation. We haven't had dinner yet. After eating you can rest. Even a break for good is fine!" ferdi.

Barra became furious hearing his brother's words. What became Barra was even more astonished because his parents seemed blind to what Ferdi was doing. Everything the guy says is always right in their eyes.

"All must be hungry. Let's eat!" say Mother.

To commemorate his marriage which has entered 30 years Papa and Mama will hold a party tomorrow night. Right now it's just to get together with her kids.

At dinner, Barra, especially Khayra, was silent. He could not hide the disappointment towards his two in-laws.

At dinner, Papa's phone rang. After seeing who was contacting, Papa stood up.

"Ma, I have to go. Maybe I'll be home this morning. I have a meeting with my friend. As usual!" say Papa with Mama.

"Be careful, Pa." That's all Mama said.

After Papa disappeared from sight, Mama opened her voice again. This time he spoke to Khayra.

"You can see, Khay. Papa also often goes out at night to meet coworkers. Mama always understood what your Papa did. Having been married thirty years, my mother has become accustomed to Papa's activities. Starting today, you also have to get used to it," said Mama.

After dinner, Khayra headed straight for Ferdi's room. He felt bad about this situation. No one wants to hear his heart. Khayra felt alone. He stood in front of the window of the room looking at the stars that were studded in the blue sky.

While enjoying the stars in the sky, suddenly Khayra was surprised by the pull in his hair. Khayra looked at who was pulling her hair. The pull on Khayra's hair felt stronger, making her grimace in pain.

"It hurts, Mas. Release!" khayra. The woman held Ferdi's hand so as not to pull her hair any harder.

"ill? It hurts more where my heart is, because you're humiliating in front of both my parents!" ferdi said in a slightly high voice.

"When did I embarrass you?" ask Khayra.

Ferdi still pulled his wife's hair. Because he could not stand it, Khayra lowered her head and sat on the sofa so that her hair would not be pulled again.

Ferdi removed the pull in Khayra's hair and now gripped Khayra's jaw with his hand. With great strength made Khayra again whimper.

"I remind you, never tell my bad to my parents. I can do anything if my mom and dad are mad at me for hearing what you say!" ferdi.

Ferdi let go of his grip. Khayra held her jaw which hurt. The woman was not afraid, she was even staring at Ferdi with her eyes burning.

His hard life since his birth mother died, making Khayra not want to give up again. Enough had been all this time he had always relented with his half-sister. But he was always blamed.

Khayra stood up from her seat and came to Ferdi. In his view with glaring eyes. Ferdi stared back with enlarged eyes as well.

"Why? You can't take it? You're ashamed if your parents know your rot. What if I give you proof of your affair. Proof that you often snack outside and go home drunk. I'll open my in-laws' eyes, if this kid they're proud of is nothing more than trash and just a loser!" khayra said in a high voice.

Khayra was no longer able to hold back her emotions. If Ferdi had not been rude and pleaded with him to keep all the rot away from him, perhaps Khayra would have considered it. However, the harsh treatment of her husband made Khayra feel opposed.

Without Khayra guessing, Ferdi's hand floated and slapped Khayra firmly until she fell onto the sofa behind her.

Khayra held both of her cheeks which felt hot. From the corner of his lips came fresh blood. Khayra's head feels dizzy. Maybe because of that loud slap.

Khayra stood up, because of the pain in the cheeks she felt, the woman's tears fell down her cheeks without her being able to weir again. Khayra looked back at Ferdi with flaming eyes.

"You're gonna have to pay for this. Enough of you to persecute me. You have to take this responsibility at the police station!" khayra.

The woman walked out of the room in a hurry. Ferdi was still unaware of what was happening. He still could not believe that he had just slapped the cheek of a woman.

After Khayra disappeared, Ferdi regained consciousness and followed Khayra out of the room. Ferdi saw Khayra coming down the stairs. Run after the woman. If what Khayra said was true, if he would report Ferdi's deeds then his good reputation would be depleted in the eyes of their extended family.
