My girlfriend is my brother-in-law
What's my fault?

The next day, Ardi and Arka drive Kay's parents to the airport. David and Merisa want to go to Kalimatan because of an invitation from his best friend. After making sure his two in-laws were headed for departure, Arka invited Ardi to leave the airport. Before returning home, Arka invites Ardi to go to the village.

After they reached their destination, Ardi followed wherever Arka's feet stepped, because he actually did not want to buy anything. But Ardi looks very surprised when Arka steps into a jewelry store.

Arka looks looking around, there is one item that is very interesting both eyes. Arka asked the shopkeeper to get the item.

“What did you buy that necklace for?” ask Ardi curiously.

Arka took the necklace with diamond eyes hanging on the necklace, “what brother forgot today what day?” the man continued to stare at the necklace that was in his hand.

“Today is Thursday, is there something special today?”

“I'll take this necklace.” Arka gave the necklace to the maid, she then turned her back to look at Ardi, “I want to give the necklace as a birthday gift Kay. I should have bought it yesterday and given it to her at exactly 12pm last night, but I forgot to buy her a gift. So I want to give it today,”.

Ardi who replied with ‘oh’ only. It was the first time she had forgotten about Kay's birthday. Every year, he wishes his ex-wife a happy birthday, even if it's just congratulations.

Ardi stared at the storefront in front of him, “I also want to buy something for Zahra, even though today is not his birthday,” he said.

“What sister really loves Zahra so much?” Ardi nodded his head, “but he looked very young. She is even younger than me, aren't you afraid that you will fail again later?” his question is able to make Ardi frown.

“What do you mean?”

“Em...I just don't want brother back hurt later.” Arka lowered her head.

“You don't have to think about me, because I know what I have to do!” exclaim Ardi full of emphasis.

Arka only able to say sorry, ‘I hope Zahra will really love brother, because I do not want brother hurt again, I know I am the mastermind of the suffering of brother all this time, that's why I want the best for sister.’

Ardi finally took out a necklace with a pendant with an A. impartial after finishing paying, and got what they wanted. They left the mall and got back in the car, Ardi then drove his car.

On the way home there was no conversation between the two, Ardi stared straight ahead, while Arka stared out the window. Arka realized her mistake, she shouldn't have told her brother all that. Without diverting his eyes Arka apologized to Ardi.

Ardi let out a long sigh, “why do you keep apologizing?”

“Because I shouldn't talk like that brother. I know that all this time I was the culprit of the problems that you have been facing all this time, but I even said that to you. I should have been happy, when my sister decided to get married again, instead of saying inappropriate words.” Arka then lowered her face.

“Ka, can I be honest with you?” Ardi looked at Arka at a glance, he then looked back to the front.

“What?”

“Honestly, I hate you so much if I remember everything you did to me. I even wanted to beat you up until I was satisfied. Kay was yours in the first place, but what was my fault, because I didn't know it in the first place. I wanted to end the marriage, if Kay wanted to, but Kay didn't want to end it. Then what's my fault?” Ardi sighed harshly, “I don't like the way you treated Kay back then, if only Kay could be honest with me, if only Mama hadn't covered it up from me, I don't know what I'm going to do at the time either. Do I have to kill you?” tanyakanya.

“Kak, why do you remember that again?”

“If I kill you, will everything go back to normal? Will I be happy after that? Will my wedding still go on as usual?”

“Kak!”

Ardi stops his car by the roadside, “what Kay will return to the holy? Will Kevin be my son?” the man then shook his head, “everything will still be ruined, Ka. Will destroy! Even worse, I might not be able to treat Kay the way she used to!” his yell.

“What's my fault, Ka? Whahuh? Have I been bad with you all this time? Is the affection I give still not enough, so you can do this with your own brother?”

“Kak, I'm sorry. At that time I was blinded by my desire to have Kay, I did not even think about what impact my brother would have. Forgive me,” said Arka while holding Ardi's hand and bowing his head.

Ardi gripped both shoulders Arka, “what do you know, I want to say all this to you since long ago, I would love to vaporize all this and slap you very hard, but.” Ardi then hugged Arka, “I can not do that, because if I do that, not only you will be hurt, but Mama, Papa and my heart,”.

“Kak..”

Ardi let go of his embrace, “hati I will hurt if I hit you, because you are a sister that I love very much, but dear.my sister was not loving her brother as I love her, but I love her,” he said while brushing a smile.

“I love you brother, sister is the best sister in the world. I'm sorry, Brother sorry.”

Ardi patted Arka on the shoulder, “now you and Kay are happy. I'm also happy to see you reunited. Sorry, because I have been present between the two of you,” he said.

“Sister is not wrong, it's not brother's fault.”

Ardi and Arka again embraced each other, Ardi finally could vanish everything, his regret and also his anger all along. Now that Ardi's heart was so relieved, he was finally able to let go of all his past and welcome his future with the woman he loved so much.

“Honey, I have a gift for you.” After lunch, Ardi invited Zahra to sit on the back porch, suddenly Ardi thrust a velvet red jewelry box to Zahra.

“What is this, Brother?” Zahra did not receive the jewelry box immediately, she observed the jewelry box carefully, before her hand actually took the jewelry box from Ardi's hand.

Zahra's hands moved to open the jewelry box, Zahra's eyes perfectly rounded when she saw the contents of the jewelry box, “Kak, this is really for me?” tanyanya surprised.

“What do you like?”

Zahra nodded her head, “ really like, this is very beautiful.” The woman then touched the pendant hanging on the necklace, “A...did you accidentally put your initials here?” tanyanya.

“I want you to always think of me when you see that locket. Here I help you wear it.”

Ardi took the necklace from Zahra's hand, then the man pulled Zahra's body until now facing her. Ardi then carried the necklace to Zahra's neck. He began to busy to hook the necklace hook when Zahra's hair that felt disturbing managed to get rid of.

“Already.” Ardi smiled as he looked at both of Zahra's eyes to make the two cheeks of the woman blush, “beautiful,” he added.

“Thank you,” said Zahra while pulling both corners of her lips together to form a smile.

Zahra touched the necklace pendant, and looked at him, “not only engraved on this necklace, but the name of the brother was already engraved in my heart.” the woman then looked up her face, “thank you for the gift,” added.

“What is the only thank you that I will receive?” Ardi pulled Zahra's body to be more attached to his body so that there was no blame between the two.

“La—lu what sister asked for?” asked Zahra nervously.

Ardi then brought his face closer to Zahra's, and he buried his lips into the woman's thin lips. For a moment they drowned in the gap, until they finally ended the hot kiss when they heard footsteps that sounded closer.
