THE DOCTOR'S LOVE TRAP

31. A Reality

Erika paced around uneasily just after Wildan said she couldn't take Abrine for granted for El.

However, to unmask the real El they are not ready. Moreover, Elrich and Wildan were both in the same position. If the secret about El they unravel before Abrine then the girl refuses to marry El due to the disgrace, then it is not impossible that Abrine will also reject Wildan because Wildan and Elrich are in the same status.

"We can't tell Abrine the truth, Ma."

"But, it could make Abrine think twice about marrying Elrich! Especially if Abrine's family knows about this," Erika replied with a huff.

"Then what about me, Ma? My status and El's, same. We are both children born out of infidelity!" wildan's reply left Erika stunned.

Erika massaged her own temple because of the child's speech.

"Elrich won't open up to you, Er. Mama sure it is."

"Why can Mama be so sure?"

"Because El's secret is also on us."

"Sister El never knew, that he was also the son of the result of an affair."

Erika smiled faintly. "It's not about that, but about Pevita," he said.

"But, Ma...."

"El would think a thousand times to open up who you are to Abrine, Er. Anyway, we know the disgrace about Pevita."

"So, what's the thing about Pevita that we're going to tell Abrine that he's going to want to cancel their marriage?" Wildan leaned back in lethargy, looking up at the ceiling above him.

Erika sighed with all her chest. He was also still wondering which things he would tell Abrine first so that the girl would not marry El. Undo it.

"I don't think we need to open up about any of this, Ma. I will try to hold back my feelings," Wildan said at last, he got up and left the mother who was still thinking hard.

Wildan knew, however, that he also wouldn't want Abrine to know about him. Uncovering El in front of Abrine is tantamount to raising the flag of hostility to El.

Moreover, they both know each other, right? That means, if El's disgrace is exposed then Wildan must also be ready if Abrine will find out about his disgrace revealed by Elrich.

So, Wildan thought, it's better to keep each other's secrets in front of Abrine, rather than share them. After all, thanks to Abrine, the situation between him and El is now much better. Wildan did not want to repeat the cold war that had just ended.

A reality that is covered, will indeed open in time. But, Wildan wasn't ready if everything about him was known to Abrine by now. At the very least, the disgrace about him would open up when Abrine could accept it later.

And Wildan's decision was to wait, even though Abrine's status was no longer a girl.

"What are you doing?"

"God! You surprised me, El!" Abrine clutching his own chest, he was completely shocked by Elrich's sudden arrival as he was daydreaming by the side of the pool.

"You're not swimming?"

Abrine shakes.

"You think of something?" guess El.

"Oh, I'm just a little upset."

"Through?"

"Hmmm...."

"What makes you feel bad?" Elrich chuckled softly, finally sitting beside Abrine, even following in the footsteps of the girl by putting her feet into the water in the pool.

"El, I think I'm upset about this marriage."

"Don't tell me if you change your mind when this wedding is counting the days!"

"Are you not afraid?" Abrine asked El a question.

"Fear what?"

"You know I don't believe it" replied El flatly as he stared straight ahead.

"But I don't think you're like that. You're just fortifying yourself, you're closing yourself up so you don't love."

Elrich looked at Abrine and highlighted him sharply. "You don't even know me very well, how can you judge me?" tanyakanya.

"Here you go, forget my weird question. It seems we may not fall in love with each other even though we make a lot of moments together" concluded Abrine. He rose from his seat, leaving Elrich alone now.

"You won't be able to love a man like me, Brine.." said Elrich.

Abrine is upset and leaves Elrich because the man's answer cannot please him. Somehow he was disappointed because he had hoped El could answer him seriously. Abrine decided to go upstairs. He entered the karaoke room and sang there all by himself.

He tuned a fast rhythm song, singing in a shouting manner to vent his frustration. After all, in this room no one will be able to see the action of the gi-lanya or hear the sound of her cempreng when singing songs because this room is soundproof.

Abrine also sings rock songs while prancing around. It was as if he was the vocalist singing on stage.

Until finally Abrine ended the unfortunate activities he did when he was satisfied and tired himself. He didn't feel like he'd been in that room for an hour and a half. When he got out of there he passed by Rahelsa.

"Rahel, are you here?" abrine asked his sister-in-law.

"Yes, I and Aarav delivered the medicine to papa but papa asked us to have dinner here all together" said Rahelsa.

Abrine nodded slowly. Papa Nev is old now and he must routinely take drugs so that his high blood does not rise. Especially if Abrine's throwing a tantrum. That's why Abrine doesn't want to burden his parents' minds anymore now but the matter of his marriage that now makes him upset, how is this?

"Hel, can you talk, can't you?"

"Well, just talk, Brine."

"Not here. Both." Abrine shows the finger that forms the letter V.

"Oh, want to confide in.." said Rahelsa guessing and of course the guess was right.

"Yes, there's still time before dinner." Abrine immediately pulled Rahelsa's arm and brought her sister-in-law into her room.

"What's up, Brine?"

"Ehm...." Abrine was confused to say where the problem between him and Elrich came from. He also hesitates to explain to Rahelsa what upset her. There's no way she's being honest with Rachels about her temporary marriage to Elrich. Moreover, his brother-in-law had warned him first so that there would be no divorce.

"Why, anyway?" Rahelsa grew curious to see the strange gurgaon of Abrine.

"Gini, gini. you remember, you told me about not to let my marriage fail..."

"Yes, I remember that. Why why?"

"So, I was thinking about that, Hel. I don't want my marriage to fail. I've decided that I only want to get married once in a lifetime."

"yes, nice dong! If you're committed to it."

"Yes, but I also think the same thing you said at that time about... about winning the heart of the husband until he was not able to turn a little," Abrine didn't even know why he came to this decision, it all just happened. He only realized that he did not want to fail in his marriage even though this was started because of a bo doh deal. Until finally, he came to the final decision of wanting to survive and defend.

"Oh, so you want to win the heart of mas bule? Hasn't she won all this time?" Rahelsa giggled at the end of her sentence.

"I'm serious!"

"I'm also serious, if he chose you to be a wife, you won, dong!"

"Yes, but I also have to maintain my status later. Did you say yesterday?"

Rahelsa nodded her head repeatedly.

"That's easy!"

"How?"

"Born a child for him!" rahelsa replied lightly.
