Talak After Shah
There's a Brother Next to Me



"Let's sir, we take the father to first class" said the flight attendant as soon as Ariadi entered the plane.


Ariadi looked dizzy. Looking for where Beautiful is sitting.


"I want to be in the economy class" Ariadi replied


The flight attendant frowned


"Can't sir, the economy is full, and on this ticket you're first class"


Ariadi took out a black card from inside his wallet.


"Say how much you want" he said coldly


The flight attendant immediately gasped to realize that in front of him was not a random person.


"But sir?" he said he doubted again


"There was my wife, and she was leaving. I want to stop it"


The flight attendant was confused as to what to do. The plane is ready to take off


"The only way is to exchange places with one passenger in economy class" the flight attendant replied after a few seconds of silence


Without answering at length Ariadi agreed. Before the flight attendant went economy class, Ariadi showed a beautiful photo on her phone


"This is my wife, I want the passenger next door who swapped places with me"


The flight attendant nodded. Before long the flight attendant had returned again with a woman who was about his age above a little Beautiful.


Ariadi immediately darted into the economy class, in finding an empty seat right next to Indah.


Immediately remove a mask and put it to the face. After that, he walked in a chair right next to Indah.


Ariadi leisurely sat down next to Indah whose face was pale and tense


It was so bad that Ariadi hugged her. But the intention was undone, because he knew Beautiful was angry at him.


Ari only noticed Indah who was installing a safety belt with trembling hands.


"Bismillah Ya Alloh" I muttered


Ariadi clearly heard the beautiful murmur.


Many times I drew and breathed deeply. I have to master my fear, I have to fight him.


Remembering in my eyes when I first got on the plane, Andi held my hand and asked me to tell a story until I forgot my fear, but it was only a memory. And now, I'm scared just like I used to be, but Andi's not next to me.


I looked at the man sitting next to me, he seemed to be watching me, maybe he was astonished by my village attitude. But whatever, I don't know him.


I then refocused, I prayed in my heart as the plane slowly began to climb.


I clutched the chair tightly. My eyes were closed, and in my heart I prayed for salvation.


Ariadi who saw Indah was so frightened so worried, if she grasped the hand, she was worried Beautiful would know who she was, but if not, her heart could not bear to see the pale face of the Beautiful.


I was still frightened, and my hand was clutching the handle of the chair. But now I feel different, my right hand is holding it.


I opened my eyes, Yup!! the man next to me was holding my hand.


"Don't worry, I'm just helping you" he said in a stifled voice. Maybe because of the mask he wears


I flinch, I just shut up. At least I'm a little relieved. Slowly the plane calmed down, I quickly opened my eyes and took a deep breath, relieved


I immediately pulled out my hand that had been held by a man I did not know.


"Thank you" I said


The man just nodded.


I looked at the window of the plane next to me. I can see the clouds.


Suddenly my heart was empty, far away from my feelings.


The faces of my three children, my parents, my brother, all crossed. I don't feel any clear grains running down my cheek


Ariadi who had since noticed Beautiful, his heart became sick when he saw that the woman he loved was crying.


"Now I am far away from you, far away" I cried


I stammered as the man next to me thrust out a handkerchief. I immediately took that handkerchief and shrunk the tears on my cheek.


"I see you crying?" ask the man next to me


I stiffly gave her a smile.


"There's too much I think" I replied


Then we went back to silence, I stole a glance at the man next to me, his eyes reminding me of my brother.


"Ah, no way" I said


"Yes?" tannya


I stammered.


Suddenly the plane shook, I reflexively held his arm. I clutched that arm.


Ariadi who was surprised by the beautiful grip immediately turned his head, again found a tense and pale Beautiful face


It was very desirable that he carried that face to his face, hiding it from the scourging fear


Ariadi's right hand immediately held gently the Exquisite hand that gripped her arm.


He looked at that pale face deeply.


"If you'd known this was my brother, Ndah" he said.


"I'm sorry" I said as the plane calmed down.


"Are you afraid of heights?"


I nodded.


"It's not the first time you've been on a plane, is it?" ask the man again


"Yes, this is the third time" I replied


"But because I'm a phobia, that's why I'm always tense" I replied


The man's hand was about to touch my face. I immediately put my head away


Conscious of his sassness, Ariadi immediately pulled back his hand which at that time would caress Beautiful cheeks


"I'm sorry" said Ariadi


I immediately threw away my face and looked back at the clouds through the plane's glass window.


Ariadi cursed his carelessness. After all he could not lie to his heart if at that time he wanted to hug Beautiful.


...****************...


My eyes began to dim, I could feel if the atmosphere on the plane was so quiet. Maybe the other passengers are sleeping.


I yawned a few times, I tried to hold back the sleepiness, I didn't want the man next to me to mess around, because from then on he kept looking at me and it made me careless.


"Sleep, I'll take care of you"


I turned and stared hard at him. The man also looked back at me. I could only see her eyes, but they were familiar to me


"Actually who are you?" much


The man was silent, he tilted his body which made our distance closer.


The masculine scent from her body made my chest gurgle even more.


This is my brother, my mind


And right, that's brother. I shut my mouth in disbelief. I was stunned on the back of the chair with disordered breathing


Ariadi immediately caught Indah's hand and rubbed it many times for the sake of seeing Beautiful who had difficulty breathing.


"Why you, baby, what's wrong?" he panicked


I pulled my hand violently, massaged my suddenly claustrophobic chest, and took the mineral water my brother had given me


After I downed the mineral water, I looked at my brother cynically


"What's the master here for?" just cold


"Beautiful, brother will explain everything to you"


I smiled faintly.


"No use sir, for what? I already know who master is, and please don't bother me, didn't I already tell you don't see me anymore"


Ariadi rubbed his face rough


"Don't you want to call me brother or affectionate when you're spelled out brother, hem?"


I threw my face away.


"Our status is different sir" I replied bitterly


Ariadi instantly pulled the nape of Beautiful, and gently sipped that sweet lips


I, who was shocked by his brother's treatment, tried to push his shoulders. But my brother's hand was too strong to press my head


Our lips are fused, brother is still gently******my lips. I kept trying to get my lips off the mash, I kept pushing his shoulder.


It seems Ariadi did not care, he just continued to sip Beautiful lips. Until finally their lips detached when he felt there was a hard pinch on his stomach


I immediately wiped my lips with the tip of my hijab. My chest went up and down and held my anger


"Go back with your brother"


I looked up and couldn't believe my brother. I shook my head


"Who is the real master?" I said looking at his eyes


Ariadi took a deep breath


"I'm sorry if you've been covering your brother's identity"


I smiled stalely and again threw away my face not wanting to see his eyes


I'm afraid, if those eyes keep poking at me, then I'll be ruined.


"Please listen to my lovely brother. Please give your brother a chance to explain the truth to you"


I took a deep breath and looked at him.


"Please, I'll listen"


"Hatice is my brother's wife"


It felt like lightning was striking right in my ear. My chest felt pain again, I rubbed my chest


"Are you okay, Ndah?" Ariadi looked worried


I clasped his hand that was about to hold me


"Continue?"


Ariadi took a deep breath


"We got married because I was betrothed, I didn't love her at all"


I smiled at her hearing her words


"We married because of business interests, and also because the brothers were not married while the brothers were all married. So both parents betrothed the brother to the son of the brother's father's colleague, the son of a Turkish conglomerate too"


"But believe me just as beautiful brother, brother never loved him. If you love him, you won't die in Turkey"


"And the picture of the boy you saw at the time wasn't the brother's son"


With wide eyes, I turned to my brother. My forehead frowned


"When she married her brother, Hatice was pregnant. My brother found out about her pregnancy right when we finished the reception. Just then, as she was about to return to the room, she overheard Hatice's conversation with someone over the phone"


"Abang forces him to confess his crime. And finally Hatice admitted, if she was already pregnant. At that time my brother came out of the room and the next morning my brother took him to the hospital. And true, the results of the doctor's examination stated that Hatice was positive for pregnancy."


"Because of disappointment finally my brother left her right after two weeks of our marriage, my brother went to Indonesia. Brother takes care of the Salam Group company because almost half of the shares in the company are owned by brother"


I was silent to hear his story. My brain was trying to digest and trust every word that came out of my brother's mouth.


But no, Andi used to be like that, in front of me he would be very sweet, but behind me he played with other women


"Please believe me brother. Brother loves you so much Beautiful, you are the second woman that brother loves after mother brother"


I swallowed my saliva. I looked into his own eyes. I want to believe every word, I want to go in and dive in those beautiful eyes, I want to say that I love him too. But I think I should throw it away, because I don't deserve an Ozkan Yilmaz


"Sir, come back with your wife" I said quivering


"I've been in his position, I've felt how painful it is to see a husband we love playing with other women"


"But my brother never loved her, even though he never touched her"


I shook my head


"Whatever it says my master will not change the decision, I will stay away from you as my wife promised"


Ariadi nodded, she rubbed her face


"Don't you love Ndah's brother?" asked Ariadi with a wail


My tears fell upon hearing his question. Ariadi turned his head and immediately brought the Beautiful to his presence.


"Abang loves you very much Ndah, very much" he said as he rubbed my shoulders and kissed the top of my head


"Go back with your brother, brother will take you before your parents, and we will get married"


I pulled my body from his chest


"Abang has broken my heart, I love my brother so much but it turns out that brother lied to me, and now brother wants to marry me? no brother, I won't break another woman's heart just for my happiness"


Ariadi was frustrated, I don't know in what way he explained to Indah


"I'm legitimately so tkw now, that means our status is getting much different. I won't back down just because I'm heartbroken. I've been through a lot more pain than this, so I'm sure, my heart sores will quickly go away"


I said that word bitterly, I said that word just to make my own heart happy. I don't know if I can forget my brother or not. Because I love him so much too.


"Return Ndah, whatever compensation your employer asks you will be a change brother"


I smiled cynically


"Is the rich always this?"


Ariadi let out a rough breath.


"It's not like it's beautiful, brother doesn't want to be away from you"


"If you love me, please let me go" I said bitterly with tears flowing straight away


Ariadi shook her head and she pulled back her beautiful body


On my brother's chest I cried as much as I did, I let him hold me. Because I'm sure this is my last hug to her. Because once this plane lands, then we'll split up and never see each other again


"Don't go Beautiful, don't go" said Ariadi while shrinking his tears that pooled in the eye pelukan.


I hugged him tight. I can feel that my brother is in the same pain as me


"Go back to Hatice, I'll be happy if you're with her, don't wait for me, because I won't come back" I said with a shaky shoulder and pain
