The Step Sister of Tiri

261. S2 - Pretend

"Adam, why are you so quiet?" alin asked, as the two were on their way to the girl's parents' house.

"There's nothing, I'm just tired" Adam replied with a bland smile.

The man was still thinking about his sister's condition. He also did not expect that the girl who had been considered a sister, had feelings for him. Adam didn't get to the heart to see what Papa Hanif was doing. Zea must be very hurt right now.

Usually if it was like this, he would come to comfort his sister. But now he is the reason for his heart injury. Adam tries to contact Arslan and asks the twins to comfort Zea. Unfortunately, the number is not active.

“If you are tired, let me drive.”

“No need, I'm still strong.”

Alin felt that there was something Adam was hiding, surely this was not far from his sister because only Zea could make the lover unfocused. However, bringing him back home was not the right thing, he had been looking forward to this day for a very long time. Alin closed his eyes, pretending not to know.

Meanwhile, Zea still locked her room, she did not allow anyone to enter. Kinan let it go, he was sure that the princess would need some time to think. In Kinan's heart was afraid that Zea's feelings for Adam were indeed the feelings of a woman and a man. Somehow they will solve this problem.

“Mas, what if Zea really loves Adam? What are you going to do?” kinan asked as she and her husband were having breakfast. Not a single grain of rice entered his mouth. His appetite is completely gone.

“Then Zea had to bury that feeling. We raised them together for them to be brothers, should not such feelings exist.”

“What's wrong? They have no blood relation. If they get married is also not prohibited,” said Kinan while looking at the husband, hoping the man would understand.

“Honey, when we first raised Adam as a child, we agreed to make him the eldest son of this family. How can we marry them. There will be no marriage for them. Their relationship will also be fine, after Adam married Alin.”

“But I'm sure after this their relationship will be tenuous, not like it used to be.” Kinan stared blankly towards the front, thinking about his daughter's feelings.

Hanif did not respond to the wife's words anymore. In his heart, the man confirmed what his wife had said. However, letting their children get married is not a good thing. What would the man who had known Adam as his eldest son say, they would surely insult him.

Zea who was in the room could only cry, at a time like this she would usually tell the twins, but their number could not be reached since last night. The girl also could not go anywhere right now. There was nothing Zea could do but cry.

“Why Brother Adam broke his promise? Didn't Brother Adam promise to take care of me for the rest of my life? Why leave me now? Don't I deserve it?” muttered Zea while looking at the photo of her being embraced by Adam, while they were on a family vacation.

Suddenly the girl remembered Aini. He felt guilty for betraying her. Somehow Zea explained later. Whatever will happen later, the girl is ready to accept it, including being hated by the twins.

In the evening Kinan and Hanif take Zea to Ayman's house. Today Mama Aisyah and Papa Hadi will return from abroad, after visiting Mama Aida. Not a single word came out of Zea's mouth. For some reason, suddenly the feelings towards his two parents became different.

It was not that he wanted to impose his will on Hanif or Kinan. However, the girl just did not know, how else to ask them for their blessing. He still wants to keep his love.

"Later if at Om Ayman's house, you should first forget your feelings for your brother. Assume nothing happened. Papa doesn't want Oma Aisyah and Opa Hadi who just came home, thinking about what happened to you. It was also at once to forget how you felt about your brother," Hanif said to his daughter.

Zea just nodded without saying a single word, until they arrived at Papa Hadi's large family home. They all went into the house together. Zayna in the living room playing with her cell phone.

"Assalamualaikum" said the three as they entered the house.

"Not really, Brother. We haven't had time to come."

Zayna asked Hanif and Kinan to sit in the living room. Zea also saluted her aunt. He who would usually go straight to the twins room, chose to sit in the living room. Kinan who looked at Zayna's direction also felt that his sister-in-law must have realized something.

“Where's Ayman, Sis?”ask Kinan to make Zayna unsuspecting.

“There is inside, let me call for a moment,” said Zayna, she thought that her nephew was like that because of the punishment from Hanif, but until this moment the woman had no idea what punishment her sister-in-law had given Zea.

“You've arrived?” greet Ayman while greeting them. “Zea, tumben come sit here? Not to the twins?” continued.

Zea was confused as to whether or not she should meet them. The girl doesn't know how to behave later. Ayman and Zayna looked at each other, feeling that something was strange with his nephew.

“Zea, you should meet your cousin, there! Didn't you say that you miss them?”

The girl nodded and walked towards her cousin's room. Inwardly he wondered should he be honest or hide this all. Since childhood Zea never lied, surely he will find it difficult later.

"You didn't give Zea a heavy sentence, did you? Why is she so depressed?" zayna asked as she looked at her two sisters-in-law.

Kinan heaved a sigh of relief, his sister-in-law thought that Zea was saddened by the punishment, not others. "No, Brother. We punished him for not leaving the house for a month."

"Areally like that? Or is there something else?"

"Yes, Brother. That's all it is. If you don't believe me, ask your son. Maybe because he was used to going everywhere and now had to be locked up, so he was sad," replied Kinan who confirmed Zayna's remarks. Hopefully no one is suspicious of Zea's changes, especially the twins who are always with the princess.

"Thank God then. Zea was also involved, however, because of Arslan's mistake so don't throw all the blame at him."

"Yes, Brother," Kinan replied, while Hanif simply nodded. "Oh yes, Brother. Mom when did it come? Why haven't you come yet?"

"No idea, this afternoon said it was on its way. I don't know what time the plane was. He said it was possible until the house at nine o'clock in the evening" Hanif replied.

"So who picked up mom and dad at the airport?"

"So my sister told someone to pick me up. Mama and papa don't like to be invited in crowds, it's better to be welcomed at home."

Kinan nodded, it had become a habit of his parents who did not want to be picked up to the airport. They always want to be welcomed at home with all their children and grandchildren.
