The Step Sister of Tiri

265. S2 - Wound

“What do you mean by such a question? You want me to apologize to him?” ask Aini in a dislike tone.

“What's really why? You were wrong too, right? Zea has been very good with us, but why don't you give her the chance to hear the explanation. Remember what Zea has done for us, especially you,” replied Aina who then returned to her room.

It feels so free to talk to Aini. He will never admit to being wrong if no deterrent effect has been received. It's better that Aina meet Zea tomorrow. The girl missed her cousin too. Compared to Aini, Zea was indeed more pleasant to talk to and solve problems.

Meanwhile, Aini who was alone, felt what her brother felt. He really misses Zea. All this time his cousin always agreed with whatever the girl said. Although inwardly, Aini knew that Zea did not like her, but for the sake of the brotherhood agreed.

"Some one daydreams!" reprimand Arslan who had just come and sat beside his sister.

"What, really, Brother! Who is dreamy? Never mind, I'm going in first."

Aini's going to go from there. However, Arslan prevented it first. "Sit down, Dhek. Brother just came out, wanted to talk for a while. We haven't talked together in a long time."

Aini returned to her seat. "What do you want to say? Don't tell me you want to cancel that match. Doesn't she like women?" aini asked while looking at her brother.

"Who said? People meet you yet, play just disagree."

"What do you want to talk to?"

Arslan looked at his sister's face. Actually he hesitated to say it, given how temperament his brother was. However, the man did not want everything to drag on. If Aini is angry, let Arslan have said his heart.

"It's about you and Zea. You two must have understood very well that Adam had chosen the woman he chose to be his wife. For the rest of you to fight, there is no result. Nothing is chosen between the two of you. Even if Adam did choose Zea, it means they are already a match. And vice versa, if Adam chose you, it means that it is your soul mate. No one can force a soul mate, everything is arranged by God."

"It hurts anyway, brother."

"You are both adults, think ahead do not just attach importance to each other's egos. Zea was equally hurt."

"Sister spoke like that because big brother, doesn't feel what I'm feeling right now so, it's easy for big brother to say it."

"It's not about feeling or not, it's adult or not. Brother won't force you to talk to Zea. Think about everything well what Brother said. Don't be sorry when something you don't want comes."

Arslan patted his sister on the shoulder and then passed from there. Aini was silent with her head lowered. He felt that what his two brothers said was true. Hanta thinks too much about his own feelings, without wanting to know the situation of cousins and people closest.

At home Zea is now more quiet. After Adam knew the girl's feelings, they did not ask much, let alone comment. Just say as necessary, even when there are parents.

“Zea, what's wrong? Why are you here?” adam asked when he saw his brother entering the room. He was afraid that someone would see him.

"Why indeed?"

It's been a long time, it's been a common thing for them and this family. However, since the confession of the girl's feelings, everything changed. Things are getting awkward and wrong. Although the two secretly paid attention to each other.

Adam was confused as to what to answer, he just scratched his head that was not itchy.

"What's the matter, brother? Wouldn't I be able to if I entered this room? Or is your brother feeling uncomfortable with my existence?" asked Zea who felt hurt by her brother's question.

"Not so, I just don't feel good about mom and dad, if you're here" said Adam who did not want his parents to misunderstand.

"From the beginning they also knew that I often went into this room, did you mind?"

"It's okay, Brother. I see," Kinan said with a forced smile.

Adam felt guilty because surely at this time his sister felt hurt by his words. Really he was really afraid if both his parents caught both of them in one room. The man did not want to make Hanif or Kinan feel hurt. All this time they had been very kind, there was no way the man had made both of them hurt.

"Sister, may I ask you something and sister should answer honestly," Zea asked as she looked at her brother's face.

"Ask what?" Adam wondered what kind of answer his sister wanted to ask. Hopefully it has nothing to do with feelings.

"Is there not the slightest bit of affection for me as a woman, not as a sister. All this time Brother has known about his own identity. Is it in my brother is not an attractive girl, so not even a little Brother glanced at him? What was lacking in me, so that I could change it," asked Zea who had involuntarily shed tears.

"It's not like that, Zea. We're brothers, it's not appropriate to be in a relationship."

“We're just foster brothers. Sorry is not my intention to bring up the past, but that is the truth. I just want to be a full-fledged Big Brother. Can't Brother grow a taste for me?"

"Zea, don't be like this. Brother can't do such a thing. Big brother couldn't possibly throw dirt on papa and mama's face. They are people who have raised Big Brother with great affection. There's no way Big Brother would betray them."

Unknowingly, Adam also shed tears. He was injured when he saw Zea like this. The man had tried to stay strong in front of his sister, but still could not. He was too weak in front of the girl.

"Then what about my feelings? Is my feeling not so important to Brother, until Big Brother doesn't care about it at all!"

"It's not like that, dear Brother is the same as you, but only as Big Brother, it can't be more than that."

"It's not that you can't, but Brother doesn't want to. Brother doesn't want to fight for my feelings because for Brother my feelings have never been so important."

Zea's tears were getting wet on her cheeks. The wound he had obtained turned out to be so enormous and profound. The girl did not know if there would be a drug that could treat her, at the time when the drug was precisely the cause of this wound.

Adam hurriedly approached and hugged his sister. He could not bear to see the girl crying. The man had promised never to make his sister cry, but now he saw himself making tears of sorrow drip.

Adam himself also did not know what he felt for his sister, Aini and Alin. They were both women and had their respective places, there was no way the man was imposing his will. He believes that the soul mate has been arranged by God and Zea is not his soul mate.

"Don't talk like that, you're hurting your brother. You are Big Brother's most beloved sister. There will be no one to replace you in Brother's heart" whispered Adam between his arms.

Zea pushed her brother and shouted, "I don't want to! All I want is a position as a woman, not a sister. Until whenever I just want that position!"

Of course Adam was panicked. He was afraid that his parents would hear and they would go into the room. The man did not want the previous incident to happen again. Adam tried to calm his brother. "Calm yourself, you're emotional right now."

"Now I want one of my questions answered," asked Zea without heeding Adam's warning. She rubbed the rest of her tears violently, preparing to listen to whatever answer came out of her brother's mouth.

"Which question?"

"Don't there be the slightest feeling for me as a woman?"

Adam sighed, not knowing what to answer. Zea who saw the doubt in her brother's eyes did not ask anymore. Maybe he and Adam are not a match and he is ready to accept whatever will happen later.

"Alright, you don't have to answer. I'm sorry if it disturbs Brother's composure" Zea said with a smile despite her tears returning. The girl immediately left her brother's room.
