My girlfriend is my brother-in-law
Where you lean

after Merisa's funeral, Kay shut herself in her room, she didn't even want to eat. His sadness this time really broke him, there was no longer any place for him to complain. The husband she loved and trusted so much had the heart to destroy her family, scowling her parents from her side.

Arka, Ardi, Zahra even the three children, none of whom was able to persuade Kay to come out of the room. Kay was immersed in her grief, she did not even care about her two children who still desperately needed her affection.

Arka always stood at the door of his room just to persuade his wife to come out of the room, but the door remained tightly closed.

“Honey, come out dong, don't be like this, you also have to eat dear. Don't you feel sorry for Ansel and Kevin? They miss the hug of their mother,” persuaded Arka while knocking on the door of the room. But there was no word from within, not even a footstep he heard.

“How?” asked Lina who had been standing next to Arka.

Arka shook her head, “Kay still does not want to open the door, Ma,” he said sadly.

“Now it is better for you to take care of Ansel, he also does not want to eat if it is not Kay who bribes him.”

Arka nodded her head, she then stepped down the stairs. While Lina still stands in front of Kay's room door while carrying a tray containing a bowl of Kay's favorite soup.

“Kay, this is Mama darling. Do you also not want to open the door for Mama?” Lina knocked on the door of the room a few times.

“Kay wants to own, Ma.” Finally after 2 days, Kay let out her voice. But that voice sounded very weak.

“Mama knows that you are grieving, but you also have to think about your health dear. If it happens to you, then who will take care of your two children? They still need you dear.” Lina will never give up on persuading Kay, however Kay is a member of her family. Only he and his family are in Kay's possession at the moment.

“Honey, you can be angry with Arka, but this is not the way. Arka also regretted everything, she also punished herself. Do you know what? Since yesterday Arka has not eaten anything, she just wants to eat with you, as well as Ansel. Don't you feel sorry for Ansel? She is still very small dear to understand all this.”

Kay who had been sitting down while bending her knees, even the two corners of her eyes continued to shed tears, she also did not intend to make her family worry or suffer. The woman just needs some time alone to reflect on her bad luck.

“Dad, Mother, why would you leave Kay alone. Did Kay have anything wrong with you until you left Kay alone?” kay's face was still at home he drowned between his knees.

“Now what should Kay do, Bun? Everything is destroyed, there will be no more laughter Father and Mother, there will be no more scolding Kay like Father and Mother. Kay has obeyed what Dad and Mommy wanted, but why do you still leave Kay, why?”

Lina who had been standing at the door of Kay's room came to tear up hearing what Kay said, ‘David, Merisa, I promise you guys, I will always look after Kay, Kay, I'll never let her cry again.’

“Honey, open the door, let Mama accompany you dear. Don't you think of Mama as your parent?”

“Ma, just Mama who is now Kay has, how could Kay not think of Mama as Kay's parents.”

“Then open the door dear, allow Mama to be where you lean.”

Kay wiped away her tears, her fragile body trying to stand up. With a step that felt so heavy, Kay opened the door of her room slowly. The woman then hugged her mother-in-law, “what should Kay do, Ma. No more Father and Mother accompanying Kay. Why did they leave Kay alone, why, Ma?” his sobs sounded increasingly broken.

Arka who had been watching from a distance could not hold back her tears that continued to flow from both corners of her eyes. His heart feels very sick to see the woman he loves so much to suffer, it was because of him, “safin I love, sorry me,” he said slowly.

Lina invites Kay to enter the room, the middle-aged woman does not forget to close the door of the room, but she deliberately does not lock it. Lina sat Kay's body on the sofa, and wiped away her daughter-in-law's tears.

“Mama knows what you feel dear, not just you, but we've all been saddened that this is happening. But you shouldn't be doing all this, because there are still two of your children who still desperately need your attention and affection.” Lina stroked Kay's hair very gently, “you still have Mama, Papa, Ardi, Zahra, your three children, and also your husband. Mama knew Arka was wrong in this, but you shouldn't have silenced her like that. Arka has been trying hard to take care of the company dear, so you also have to understand the position at that time,” he added.

“But, Ma, Arka shouldn't have kept it all a secret from Kay. If Arka tells Kay everything won't be like this, Ma. Father and Mother will never leave Kay.”

Kay saw that Arka was currently standing at the door of the room, she was staring at him with her own two eyes. Kay was eager to hug her husband, but her disappointment was too great for him.

“Darling, are you not going to forgive your husband at all? Look at him.he's even as sad as you are,” Lina said as she stared at Arka.

Kay simply kept silent as she continued to look at her husband, her tears flowing back down her cheeks. With Arka slowly starting to step into the room, she saw Kay did not forbid it at all.

Arka sat crouching in front of Kay, he held her hand and kissed her, “honey, I know I was wrong, I will accept whatever punishment you will give me, but don't leave me like this, don't torture yourself, I won't be able to see it,” he said.

Lina got up from her seat, she let Arka and Kay both in the room. They need time to talk to each other.

“You are evil, Ka. I hate you, I hate!” Kay yelled while banging Arka's shoulders.

“You can hate me, but don't shut up. I can't live without you for a second, do you know that?” Arka then stood up, he then sat beside Kay, he hugged the body of his wife who is very fragile, “forgive me dear, forgive me,” he said.

“I have no one else, Ka. Father and Mother have left me, I will no longer be able to see their faces, hear their laughter, I miss them so much, Ka.” Kay spoke in between sobs, the longing she felt for both her parents grew even greater.

“You still have me dear, and our two children. Ansel since this morning does not want to eat, he wants to be fed to the mother, do you not care about our two children?”

Kay further tightened her embrace, “forgive me, Ka. I only think about myself, I think I am the only one who suffers so much here, I forget that there are still many people who care and love me so much,” he said.

Arka kissed Kay's forehead, “now you have to eat, after that we get out of this room, they are very worried about you dear. If you still don't want to forgive me it's okay too, but at least eat so you don't get sick,”.

Kay nodded her head, Arka very painstakingly began to feed Kay, ‘I will try my best to restore your smile dear, I will not let those tears fall back,” she murmured inwardly.

“However, Ma?” tanya Ardi who has also been very worried about Kay, as well as Zahra and Kevin.

Lina smiled, “Kay is currently together with Arka. May Kay's heart begin to melt and want to forgive Arka,” she said and sat her body next to her husband.

“We will stay here in a few days, after that we return to Jogja,” said Jonny.

“Then what about Arka, Kay and also Ansel? Are we going to leave them here?” ask Ardi.

Jonny let out a long sigh, “we invite them to stay in Jogja, let Arka take care of Papa's company. After all they are Papa's responsibility now,” he said.

Ardi hugged Kevin's shoulder and rubbed the top of the boy's head, “Dad will always be with you dear, don't be sad anymore. Now that Kevin is older, Kevin must be able to protect Father, Mother, and Kevin's sisters.”.

Kevin nodded his head, “well, Well,” he said then hugged Ardi very tightly.
