My girlfriend is my brother-in-law
The Bonus Chapter 26

Ardi is now at Kenzo's house. They were on the back porch enjoying the beauty of the night.

“Now say, what do you want to talk about Zahra?”

“Zahra is looking for someone who wants to be made her pretend lover.”

Ardi rounded his eyes, “meaning?” tanyakanya.

“You know Matteo right?” Ardi nodded his head, “Zahra wanted Matteo to throw away her feelings towards him. Zahra had often told Matteo that she only considered Matteo her best friend, but

until now he has not given up on getting Zahra,” explained Kenzo.

“Waiting, I don't understand what you mean. Now just the point,” said Ardi confused.

“Basic slow! I'm well horrified. I ask you to be Zahra's pretended lover. He wants to make Matteo stay away from him, do you understand?” now ask Kenzo, upset.

Ardi nodded in understanding, “but why is Zahra just looking for a guy for her to make her lie lover, why isn't she looking for a guy and he made her real lover?” tanyanya's confused.

“Zahra is not easily attracted to men, because all he has in mind is to pursue his ideals. Matteo is handsome like that, Zahra is not interested at all.”

“Then why did you tell me to be Zahra's lie lover? Why not another guy?”

Kenzo patted his own forehead, it turned out that the older he was, his best friend was the weaker he thought, “do you like Zahra? I asked you that on the grounds that you can be close to Zahra, you can get to know her up close. Make Zahra fall in love with you,” he said.

“Why are you doing all this? Aren't you afraid I'll hurt your cousin?” asked Ardi was curious, how could his best friend want to get closer to his cousin, even though his best friend

he knew he was a widower and had a child.

“Because I believe in you. You're a good man, it's just that fate isn't on your side.”

“But I don't believe in myself. I myself am not sure about my feelings, whether I really like Zahra or if I am only interested in Zahra's eyes that look the same as Kay's. I'm afraid I'm going to hurt Zahra, and I don't want that until it happens,” Ardi said as he leaned against the back of the sofa.

“I know you until now have not been able to completely forget Kay, but this is not your chance to prove if you can fully move on from Kay. I'm sure you can, and Zahra's the one who

very precise,” said Kenzo while patting Ardi on the shoulder.

“You can make Zahra a tool for me to forget Kay?” tanya Ardi did not believe what her best friend said.

“I just want Zahra to realize that you're the man she deserves. And I believe if you won't maybe hurt Zahra.”

“Do Zahra know if what you want to make her lie lover is me?”

Kenzo shook his head, “but Zahra agreed with whoever he was going to play,”.

“Why?”

“Because he wants Matteo to immediately throw away his feelings, he does not want to hurt Matteo for too long, he wants to see Matteo happy.”

Ardi got up from his seat, “you arrange my meeting with Zahra tomorrow,” he said.

“So you want to be Zahra's lie lover?” asked Kenzo enthusiastically.

“We'll see tomorrow, I'd like to talk to Zahra first. I go home first,” said Ardi then stepped foot leaving Kenzo.

“Don't forget, at the restaurant I told you about,” said Kenzo.

“If I may know, who is the guy who wants to be my fake lover?” ask Zahra curiously.

“Later you will also know,” said Kenzo and then turn off the phone.

Zahra came out of her room, she walked down the steps one by one while continuing to grumble. His mother Zahra who saw his daughter's face so tangled was very curious.

“What's the matter dear?” tanyanya.

“Tumben Mama this hour is at home, Mama does not work?” zahra asked in surprise.

“Mama deliberately went home for lunch with you dear, right Mama has promised to set aside time Mama to accompany you.”

Zahra just brushed off her smile, “but sorry, Ma. Today Zahra had an appointment with Zahra's friend for lunch outside,”.

“Who? Boy or girl?”

“Cowok, Mom. Friends Brother Kenzo.”

Her mother Zahra scrunched her forehead, “friends Kenzo, how can you know Kenzo's friends?” tanyanya.

“And Zahra's friends since childhood who have always been there for Zahra's nemenin are only Kenzo's sister, so Zahra knows friends Kenzo's sister.”

“What guy is your girlfriend? Mama wants to know him, all this time Mama has never seen you walk the same guy besides Matteo,” said Mama Zahra with a smile on her face.

“Matteo is Zahra's best friend, Ma.” The girl then kissed her mother's hand, “Zahra left first yes, Ma. Zahra is afraid of being late,”.

“Be careful, don't forget to introduce her to Mama,” her mama Zahra's tease.

Zahra did not speak her mother's words and walked out of the house.

“My little daughter has started to grow up,” said Mama Zahra while staring at the departure of her only child.

***

Now the girl was sitting on one of the chairs in the restaurant where her cousin had promised her. Zahra seemed to be waiting, it had been almost half an hour that the girl was in the restaurant, but the guy who wanted to see her had not come yet.

“What Brother Kenzo deliberately pranked me yes, it has been half an hour I wait here, but where is the guy, did not appear too,” said Zahra annoyed.

With a breath of breath, Ardi ran towards the restaurant, “hopefully he did not wait long,” he said as he continued running.

Arriving in front of the restaurant the man began to set his breath back to normal. After feeling that his breathing was getting regular, Ardi walked into the restaurant, seeing that Zahra was already sitting on a chair by the window.

Ardi convinced himself that what he was doing was right, slowly he began to move his feet closer to the girl's table.

“Can I sit here?” he asked when he was in front of the girl.

“Kak Ardi? What is Ardi doing here?” zahra asked in surprise.

Ardi pulled the wrong seat in front of Zahra then he sat down, “I want to have lunch here. You yourself why are you here?” tanyakanya.

“I'm waiting for someone,” Zahra said as she brushed off her smile. The girl did not expect to meet the man who had made herself feel so curious all along.

“Who, your girlfriend?” ask Ardi pretending not to know.

Zahra shook her head, “I don't know who she is either, said Brother Kenzo I was just told to wait here,” he said.

“So that guy is a guy?” Zahra nodded her head, “want would you like to meet that guy?” tanyakanya. Ardi deliberately wanted to lure the girl to express his true wishes. Despite

her best friend had explained everything, but she wanted to hear it straight from the girl's mouth.
