My girlfriend is my brother-in-law
I'm not kidding...

Kenzo smiled, “why are you so surprised?” tanyakanya.

“You're not kidding, are you?” Ardi still could not believe what he had just seen and read.

Kenzo shook his head, “I'm not kidding.” The man then moved from his seat, “I can not be long, I hope you can come,” he said and walked out of the room Ardi.

Ardi again saw the wedding invitation he still holds in his hands, “Kenzo will get married, but who is his future wife?” the man read the name printed on the invitation, “That's it! Who is he?” tanyanya.

Ardi patted his own forehead, “why didn't I ask about Zahra, is she really engaged?” said it.

Ardi again walked towards his desk, he felt today was a very tiring day for him. He had not expected to meet Zahra again after such a long time. Actually Ardi secretly three years ago always came to Zahra's house, he wanted to see the girl's face.

But every time Ardi comes to Zahra's house, Ardi always sees Zahra along with the man she introduces as her fiance. That's because Ardi chose to give up, even though he still hoped he would be able to have the girl someday. But it turns out he was wrong, now the girl he loved so much already belongs to someone else.

Zahra sat her body on the sofa. The girl felt so exhausted after working in the hospital. What's more today so many patients that he has to deal with.

Mama Zahra walked over to her daughter, “why are you sitting here, don't you take a shower first?” tanyanya then sat down next to her daughter.

Zahra then hugged his mother very tightly, “later, Zahra wants to rest first,” he said.

“How about your job, do you like working in your grandfather's hospital?”

Zahra nodded, “Samuel's brother also helped Zahra a lot there,” he said.

“Em... Speaking of Samuel, do you know how dear it is that papa Samuel wants to set her up?”

Both of Zahra's eyes are perfectly rounded, “right, Ma! With whom?” tanyanya surprised.

“Mama also do not know with whom, just earlier Mama heard it from your Papa.” Mama Zahra rubbed the top of Zahra's head, “then when will this Mama's daughter get married?” tanyakanya.

Zahra just brushed off her smile, she then leaned her body on the back of the sofa, “Zahra did not want to get married, Ma,” he said.

“Why? Are you still waiting for Ardi?” Mama Zahra knew that her daughter was still expecting the man her daughter had introduced as her boyfriend.

But during this time both Zahra's parents did not know if their relationship was actually a charade. Zahra also gave reasons to her parents if she wanted to focus more on her studies and end her relationship with Ardi.

Zahra shook her head, “no, Ma. But Zahra wants to focus on working,” he said, brushing his smile.

They heard a knock on the door. “who came?” mama Zahra asked and then moved from her seat.

Mama Zahra walked towards the main door and opened the door, “Kenzo!” said surprised.

“Night, Aunt.” Kenzo kissed the hand of his mother Zahra.

His mother Zahra let Kenzo in, she knew who she wanted to see. Mama Zahra left Kenzo and Zahra, she did not want to disturb the two brothers' conversation.

“Ngapain Brother Kenzo night-night to here?” ask Zahra curiously.

“So I went to Ardi.” Kenzo sat next to Zahra.

Zahra rounded her eyes, fearing that Ardi would ask Samuel about his cousin.

“Em...what did Brother Ardi ask brother?”

“You mean to ask about you?”

Zahra was confused as to what to answer.

“No, anyways I was there just dropping off my wedding invitation.” Kenzo leaned his body against the back of the sofa.

Zahra raised her legs on the sofa and folded it, now Zahra is sitting facing Kenzo, “Kak, can I ask for help with Brother?” her door.

“What would you like to ask for?” Kenzo looked so exhausted, he had just finished spreading all his wedding invitation cards.

Zahra looked doubtful, “em.if you see from Kak Kenzo's expression it seems he did not know that I had met with Kak Ardi. I better shut up,” he murmured inwardly. “Em.

Kenzo knitted his eyebrows together, he then tilted his face at Zahra, “what are you hiding from me?” tanyanya.

Zahra shook her head, she tried to be ordinary, Kenzo's eyes seemed to be intimidating her, “actually I want to ask sister's permission.” The girl looks still hesitant to say her words, “em... Shall I invite Brother Samuel at the wedding of brother?” tanyanya hesitated.

Kenzo confirmed his sitting position, “why do you want to invite him, you know my relationship is the same he is not good?” tanyanya does not like.

“But somehow Brother Samuel is sister to Brother Kenzo.”

“I never considered him my sister.” Kenzo's face looked very upset.

But Zahra did not run out of sense, however she had to take Samuel to Kenzo's wedding, because her cousin's brother also invited Ardi. If Ardi sees himself not with Samuel, his lies will be exposed.

“But Om will still invite Brother Samuel, he is also his son,” said Zahra while folding both arms in the chest.

Kenzo seems annoyed, but what Zahra says is true. His father must have invited his half-brother, “are you so close to Samuel?” tanyakanya.

“Yes, Brother Samuel is my senior in the hospital, he is also the one who taught me all this time until I graduated with the best grades,” said Zahra proudly.

Kenzo screeched, “what can be proud of him,” his lead.

Although Kenzo and Samuel were father-brothers, they did not live together, as Kenzo was opposed to his father's second marriage. Until now Kenzo and Samuel's relationship is still tenuous.

“Many can be proud of Brother Samuel, first.he is handsome, second.he is kind, third.he is intelligent and..." Zahra chatted at length about her admiration for Samuel.

Kenzo who was upset that Zahra continued to praise his stepbrother and moved from his seat, he then stepped out of the house.

“I'll keep bringing Brother Samuel!” shout Zahra.

“Serah!” kenzo shouted and opened the door and left Zahra's house.

Zahra just shook her head looking at the childish attitude of her cousin sister, “I will bring you closer, because you are brothers,” he said.

Zahra got up from her seat, she then walked up the stairs one by one to go to her room. The girl was intending to clean herself up, after a long day of work in the hospital, her body felt very tired. Zahra decided to soak in warm water to relax her body to get fresh again.

The girl seemed to be daydreaming as she was soaking in the bathup, “why should I meet with Kak Ardi again? At the moment he must be happy with Brother Micel.” Zahra sighed heavily, “I have to forget him completely, there is nothing more I can hope for, he already belongs to someone else.”
