THE CONQUEROR (One Body of Two Souls)

ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN

Seruni and Faya got out of the car and then stepped along the campus corridor. Many pairs of eyes were directly staring at them. Kasak kusuk also began to be heard accompanying their every step. Even the gazes of the people who were there seemed to stare disdainfully at them.

"What's the Fa? Why are they staring at us like that?" Seruni whisper slowly.

"Neither know." Faya flicked her shoulders indifferently. "Have it, leave it." They continued their steps without caring about the people they passed.

Right in front of the classroom door that looks crowded because many people are crowded there, Seruni and Faya stopped their steps because they were intercepted by Sinta. Sinta seemed to smile cynically staring at Seruni then his gaze down turned to look towards the belly of Seruni who still looks flat.

"How many months?" That smile looks mocking.

Degh's!

Seruni jerks. He did not expect that Sinta knew about her pregnancy. Is this the work of his senior brother who helped him yesterday? Did she spread the news about her pregnancy?

"What-what do you mean?" Seruni stammered. His hands clutched tightly at the bag strap that was slung on his shoulders.

"No need to pretend you don't know that. Your acting is not convincing." Sinta chuckled making Seruni increasingly pias.

"Can't don't bother Seruni." Faya took a step forward to make Sinta follow back a step.

"No need to interfere with the Fa, I have no business with you."

"Clearly! If you dare to bully Seruni then it will face me."

"Don't be a hero." Sinta pushed Faya's shoulder.

Faya who did not accept almost attacked Sinta if Seruni did not immediately grab her hand. "Leave it."

"Hay gaess, look at our college chicken on this one." Sinta pointed towards Seruni. "About who, father of the fetus in the womb?" Sinta tapped her index finger on her chin as if thinking. "Or maybe he doesn't know who the father of the baby is because it's not just one or two men who sleep with him." Continue Sinta who was immediately laughed at by the people who were there. More precisely mocking laughter.

"Hey, shut up!" Jerak Faya not accept. While Seruni was just silent with eyes that had condensed. "Seruni is pregnant with her husband, so don't spread slander!" Faya spoke with fire.

"Wow amazing! Husband? Whose husband? People's husbands? Haha....." Again, the laughter broke.

Seruni, who could not stand all the ridicule that came from Sinta's mouth, finally turned her body and chose to leave from there. But only a few steps of his feet swayed, his hands were blocked by someone from behind. Everyone who was there seemed to be gawking when they saw who was holding back Seruni's steps.

"Take off the Fa, let me go." Seruni said without looking back. Seruni also tried to shake the grip of the hand to escape from his hand. But unfortunately the grip of the hand was too strong. With tears streaming down, Seruni turned her body back. And how surprised he was when he saw whose hand was currently being linked to his. "Sister" Lirih Seruni.

Kevin just stared expressionlessly. "I'm the father of a baby in the womb of Seruni!" Said Kevin firmly without the slightest hesitation.

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight. The people who were there were surprised instead of playing. Even Sinta was almost unsteady if only the friends around her did not hold her body. Not only are they surprised. But also Seruni and Faya. Their eyes seemed to be festering when they heard the confession coming out of Kevin's mouth. Seruni and Faya did not expect that Kevin would say such a ridiculous thing in front of so many people.

"Sister," Lirih Seruni again. Her tears were getting wet on both of her cheeks.

"So from now on never again harass my wife and my future children!" Kevin again.

"But when did you get married?" Sinta finally opened her voice because she couldn't take it anymore.

"One month ago!" Kevin replied firmly then pulled Seruni's hand and took her step towards the back of the campus that they usually stopped by. Seruni also only complied. Following where Kevin is, the brother of her late husband will take her.

For a long time they sat on a long bench behind campus. Actually since then Seruni's mouth has been itching to ask about the purpose of Kevin's speech earlier. But unfortunately he did not have the courage to see Kevin who was just silent with his eyes looking straight ahead.

"You must have asked about what I said, right?" Finally Kevin opened his voice even though his gaze was still staring straight ahead.

Seruni nodded. "Yes, sister, can you explain what you mean?"

"Just tell me if everything I said was true, so they don't bother you anymore."

"But-but brother?"

"Just don't argue. I'll take care of your safety and comfort while you're on campus."

Seruni's voice was choked in the throat. He never thought that Kevin would ride that bike with him and his future son. Now Seruni understood. Kevin hates her late husband, but the blood ties will not be broken. Seruni immediately reflek thrust his body into Kevin's body to make Kevin surprised because he did not expect to get a hug from Seruni.

And all of that becomes Kevin's confession. The people who were currently peeking at Seruni and Kevin finally believed what Kevin said.

And since the confession that was thrown from Kevin's mouth, they did not dare to disturb Seruni anymore. And since then every day Seruni went and went home to college with Kevin, his brother-in-law.
