Forced Marriage

Lisa POV

This afternoon, at 17. 14 WIB, my husband and I rushed to the house after getting a call from Bi Mina. Along the way I kept nagging my husband for not tightening security at our house.

We walked hand in hand into the spacious and magnificent house. How shocked I was when I saw the living room which was neatly and beautifully arranged yesterday, now it’s uncontrollably disheveled.

My eyes immediately fixed on the figure of a woman in a red dress who was sitting on the sofa accompanied by two representatives from one of the mental hospitals in this city.

“Uncle Yuna,” I said softly. Can still be heard by my husband who is standing beside me.

Yuna got up from her seat and immediately hugged my husband unilaterally. He looked beyond happy, it seemed that what people said was true. bro Yuna couldn’t move on from my husband to the point that she lost her mind.

“I miss you, Arkan dear. Where have you been all this time? I’ve looked everywhere for you, but I can’t find you,” Yuna said, still faithfully hugging my husband’s body.

“Let go!” bro Joan pushed Yuna’s body so hard that her head hit the table.

As a result, the woman became unconscious and was immediately taken by the mental hospital to return to receive treatment there.

Finished with bro Yuna now we have to explain a reason to our children according to Bi Mina’s narrative that they already know about the identity of bro Yuna who was once the wife of their Daddy.

Kak Joan and I entered Kiran’s room. In the room, Kiran was already lying on his bed. He still looked shocked, his face was pale. Even he didn’t respond when asked by bro Joan.

“Kiran, are you okay? I’m sorry, dear Daddy, for keeping this from you. You want to forgive Daddy, right?”

Kiran was silent. He didn’t want to speak or even to nod or shake his head.

bro Joan looks frustrated. He then turned to ask for understanding from Keenan and also Kenzie who was currently in Kiran’s room.

“bro, deck. Do you want to forgive Daddy?” Asked Kak Joan who was nodded by Keenan but not by Kenzie.

Kenzie looked annoyed and immediately left Kiran’s room. I grabbed Kak Joan’s hand, who was just trying to catch up with Kenzie.

“It’s okay honey, Kenzie’s business, let me take care of it. You just wait for Kiran here, poor girl,” I stroked my husband’s back, then turned around out of the room to follow Kenzie.

I looked for Kenzie all over the room in this house. Nothing, my broter’s nose was not visible to me. I stopped my search when I felt a pain in my stomach. I immediately dialed a number for someone who doesn’t live in this house.

“Hello Li,” said someone on the other side of the phone.

“Today, prepare yourself! I will go to your place now.” I replied.

Tut…. I turned off the phone unilaterally. I kept squeezing my stomach, which was getting more and more intense. I headed to my room first to get my bag and my car key.

I went secretly to the car garage, I didn’t want anyone to spoil the plans I had been making for months, including my broter Joan and my children.

I got into my own black Lamborghini Aventador car. I immediately step on the gas to a residence of the person I called earlier.

My tears kept falling during the trip, one hand kept squeezing my stomach which still hurts a lot. While my left hand is still holding the steering wheel faithfully.

This is the day… The end of it all. My position will soon be replaced by a woman who has the same body as me, but a different soul.

I’m sorry bro Joan …. I don’t want to make you cry for the umpteenth time.

*****

I entered an apartment unit that was of standard size. With my body unsteady, I knocked on the apartment door repeatedly.

After a while a woman appeared from behind the door.

The woman immediately embraced my body, helped me into the apartment until my body ended up lying on her bed.

“Are you sure, broter? You can’t bear to do this. It’s better to call your husband now! He will definitely provide the best treatment for you.”

bro Lily took my cellphone that I had kept in my bag.

“Are you calling Joan?”

“No need bro !!!” I snatched my phone back from his hand.

I put my cellphone back into the bag that I had been carrying. Then I gave the bag to broter Lily.

“Hurry and go now bro! In this bag there is a book containing photos of the children and also photos of my husband, Joan. I have also written down their favorite foods, hobbies and all things related to my family,” I explained.

broter Lily shook her head. He denied my words. I know this is a difficult choice, any woman is not willing to replace her own biological broter.

I took my brother’s hand and immediately held it tightly.

“Please bro! I won’t be long anymore. I don’t mind if you have to take my place in that house. bro Joan is a good man, she can treat you very well as long as you are me,” I asked softly.

Lily started nodding. I can see the implied sadness on her face. Even though she is a woman who is classified as naughty and always plays men, but actually she is a good person. She works as a night girl at a club to support herself, it’s really unfortunate for my twin broter.

Lily Nathania, is my twin who was deliberately hidden by papa. We were separated when we were just born into this world. After my biological mother died, Lily was given by her father to a servant who happened to be working with Papa.

bro Lily finally survived, she was free, not constrained like me, who lived under Aunt Zea’s control. bro Lily lived happily with the maid, until in the end the maid died when Lily turned 18 years old. According to bro Lily, that was when she selling himself to survive.

Nobody except Papah knew about broter Lily’s whereabouts. I also just found out about broter Lily’s presence when I read Papah’s diary which was stored in secret in his safe.

Two years ago I met broter Lily secretly. I deliberately didn’t tell bro Joan about bro Lily, I thought at that time I could use bro Lily to be a surrogate wife for my husband and also a mother for my children. Her face and body are twins. with me , even though his heart and soul are clearly different from mine.

His appearance looks metallic, his wavy hair is very different from my straight hair. He always wears clothes that tend to be open and seem less material.

He is not married, nor has he any children. I hope that one day he can truly love bro Joan and my children. From now on I will make amends for my mistakes and let him feel happiness, living in luxury.

“Then what about you deck?”

“I’ll stay here, don’t worry, I’ve hired a doctor to treat me in this place. bro, just go now! bro Joan must be looking for me now,” I mode. I have absolutely no intention of bringing a doctor here, my life isn’t long anyway.

“Please love them, don’t tell the truth, just hide the truth forever. That would be better, bro,” I said.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I gave my car keys to him.

“My car is a black Lamborghini Aventador, bro, please change your clothes with the clothes I have provided in my car. And if bro Joan asks you why your hair is different, just answer that you have already run and want to be different,” I said again. bro Lily nodded. seemed to understand my words.

He hugged me and wept bitterly.

I rubbed his back gently

“Don’t worry about me bro, my story will soon be closed. Replaced by your story,” I whispered. I closed my eyes several times, this body really hurts.

I let go of our embrace.” Go now bro, please carry out your duties well! Love them, don’t worry bro there is Kenzie who is the same blood as us. My husband is very rich bro, he can give everything you want, you no longer need to sleep with johns out there. So please leave now!”

bro Lily nodded, she started away from my body which was still lying on the bed.

“All right, the strong deck, immediately call brother if something happens to you!” he said when his steps were seen far from my current position.

I nodded, I waved my hand at him as a sign of our parting. He replied with a face full of anxiety. Gradually his body disappeared from my view .

Now I’m left alone, my breath began to wheeze. I quickly called an ambulance to come here immediately. I reported them that someone had died in this apartment. That person was none other than me, who was currently feeling the feeling of dying. I kept some of the notes that I put beside me at this time. Accompanied by a letter that reads:

Please bury me well! money beside me as funeral expenses. I have no relatives. So there’s no one you can contact about the news of my death!

I slowly closed my eyes. I realized that my story is over now. Goodbye, bro Joan, my children. Mommy loves you. Forever!

ENDING…..
