The Step Sister of Tiri

282. S2 - Reveal the truth

“Kakak often come here?” asked Zea without turning her eyes forward.

“Every time I miss you, I will be here,” replied Adam who was already standing next to the girl. He was happy to see his sister smiling.

Zea simply nodded without suspecting anything. She thought Adam missed her as a sister, without knowing the real meaning. The two were looking for a comfortable place to talk, without any interference from anyone. The man only spoke four eyes.

“Kak, what exactly is everyone covering up from me? Am I not so important in Big Brother's life, so Big Brother also did not tell what happened to the house of Big Brother,” asked Zea to start the conversation. He can't wait to find out.

“Not so, instead we hide it because it is related to you.”

Zea frowned when she heard what her brother said. “What does Big Brother mean? I don't understand it at all."

"Zea, there was never actually a marriage between Brother and Alin."

"meaning? Brother not married to Alin?"

Adam nodded and said, "On the same day, when you left this city. I saw Alin having an affair with my half-brother. They're together in Alin's apartment."

The man told her what had happened, and she was honest about her feelings for Zea. Including the condition of Hanif who asked him not to tell everything to his sister. The girl covered her mouth in disbelief. The love that has been clapping one hand, has long been avenged. It's fitting that every brother comes there, Adam is always romantic, even the man also dared to kiss her and it's not just once.

"I don't mean to make you an escape. I really love you. Whether you believe it or not, but that's the truth. It's up to you to say what. My feelings for you are real, not for fun.”

Adam looked at his sister's face intently, he wanted to see how the girl reacted. However, Zea just kept quiet, not knowing what to say. Everything was surprising to him. The girl once struggled alone to get her brother's love, but the man stayed away from her.

Now when he gives up so easily Adam says love, then where was that feeling when he chased after it? Is it so easy to say love and just throw it away? He remembered how Adam defended Alin.

“If you really love me, why would you defend Alin more than me? Not just once, but many times. How do I believe Brother really loves me, when what Brother does is different from what Brother said at this time,” Zea said with tears flowing.

Adam was saddened by what his brother said. He admitted it, but all he did was not want to make both his parents sad. The man could not possibly make them ashamed of this forbidden relationship. It is not completely forbidden, just that everyone knows that he is the oldest child in this family.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I realized when it was too late" said Adam.

He was only able to say that, his feelings were indeed important, but his family's good name was also much more important. The man did love Zea and fortunately the family also agreed. Had the family banned him, Adam would not have insisted on staying with Zea. For him, his family is everything.

Zea just silently looked at her brother. Not that he doesn't understand Adam's feelings. The girl also knew that this was all related to her family. Maybe in the future also whatever they will do, can not be separated from the feelings of Mama Kinan and Papa Hanif. The two should be ready for it if they decide to be together.

“We'd better go home, Brother,” invite Zea who then stood up from the seat and stepped her feet.

Adam stood up and followed the girl. “Zea, are you mad at me? I really didn't mean to play you. I really love you, there is nothing I love but you, please believe me.”

“So I just say love, after Brother hurt my heart. Are my feelings not important? I should have asked you how I felt all along. Every day I have to keep my wounds alone. Every time you come to see me and treat me like a lover, I always feel guilty for flirting with someone's husband. Now that reality turned out like this, did you realize you were playing with my feelings? Don't you think about me?”

“I'm sorry, but that's the only condition that I can be with you. I was also hurt by all this, wanting to tell you the truth, but my promise to papa buried it all. Sorry for making you hurt. I also keep everything in order to have you."

"Give me time to think, brother. Everything is not as easy as you think. I'm really hurt with all this."

"I never forced you in the first place. I admit I made a mistake too. I've hurt you so much and it's worth it" Adam said with a smile.

He had prepared mentally before. Whatever Zea answers, she will accept it, including rejection as it is today. Adam invited his brother home. Along the way, the girl was always staring out the window. Zea refused to look at her sister.

Even when Adam spoke, the girl did not respond. Zea was still at war with her condition and her heart. Honestly deep down, she was happy that her love did not clap one hand, but still the girl was disappointed by what had happened. Adam also did not want to disturb his brother's calm let his sister think clearly. The man hoped that after this Zea would forgive him.

Not long after, the two arrived home. Zea got out of the car and entered the house without saying anything to Adam. Both his parents and Opa Vishnu who were in the family room, could only look at the departure of his daughter. They were sure that their two children would have quarreled.

"Why Zea? It seems like she's sad, doesn't she like what's been going on between her and Adam?" asked Kinan who was still looking at the path of his missing daughter up the stairs.

"We'd better wait for Adam, where is he going?" hanif asked as he looked towards the front, waiting for the son to enter immediately. Not long after, Adam came into the house in a doldrums. Everyone could conclude that Adam and Zea's conversation ended badly.

"Why are you so lethargic? What was? Have you not managed to talk to Zea or have you not told her everything?" ask Hanif streak.

"I've said everything, Pa. It's just that Zea was already disappointed in me for covering everything up. I also never defended her when she said her true feelings first."

Papa Hanif felt guilty, after all what Adam did was at his command. Similarly, Kinan, who was also saddened by what happened, must be very hurt at this time. He would give Zea time to think, there would be times when she would talk to Zea.
