A Match For Brother
Idea of Alena #2

"Are you busy this weekend, aren't you?" Alena sips her favorite orange juice, with Dilan enjoying her favorite ice cream, while Alea is in Vania's arms. That afternoon they deliberately stopped after his return from daycare.


"It's usually a busy weekend. Why?"


"No catering orders or what?" Alena found out.


"No." Vania shook her head.


"You want to go on vacation?"


"Vacation?"


"Hu'um."


"Where?"


"Just the upper area."


"Ng ...


"Let's just say it, most of it."


"Who is it?"


"Yes, .. I, Brother Hardi with children, sister Ana with her husband. Alya, same with her husband."


"Sister Alya? take baby?"


"That's it, ..."


"Can you?"


"Have, it's been a month. That's a salvation, right?"


"Oh yeah? how do I not know?"


"No rame-rame, just a normal lesson."


"Hm ..."


"You're not coming?"


"Ng .. do not know yes, because I ...


"I took Bang Arya as well, but not yet avenged." Alena looked at her phone screen.


"Aryan Lady?"


"Hu'um, .. The children must have been willing to join their father."


"I ... don't know, see me later?" Vania thinks.


"Okay, but you'll tell me if you want to come?"


"okay."

Almost at the end of the week ...


"You ... sure you will continue your relationship with Arya?" Melly started the conversation as they finished their breakfast.


Vania looked up, then downed the white water to half of it.


"Yes." then answered.


"Have you spoken to Mr Harlan?"


"Bang Arya, I'm .. not yet"


"Yesterday night he came to the cafe, ..."


"Oh yeah? why?"


"We .. talk."


"What about?"


"On you guys."


"Continue?"


Melly sighed slowly, and looked at her daughter's face fixedly.


"Are you serious? what age difference wouldn't be a problem later if you were really together?"


"Om Harlan asked that question?" Vania frowned.


"No. I want to ask you this question."


Vania fell silent.


"Because now it seems that Mr. Harlan is not too insistent about the matchmaking. Not like before."


"Mother ... don't you want me to be with Bang Arya?" Vania asked back.


"He's a good man, as we know he's also responsible. But ...


"The money is far above me?" Vania looked at her mother's face.


The middle-aged woman fell silent again.


"Mother is too serious, and thinks too far. We're even just starting this relationship." obviously


Vania.


"Is it a problem because of our age difference?"


"Come on, .. I'm just worried."


"What are you worried about?"


"Much."


"According to mom I have to be with someone of my age?"


"Not really."


"Why is this a problem for my mom?"


"Mom doesn't care about age, all you think about is ...


"I don't want to talk about this anymore. I think I have the right to choose too. I'm sorry, I had to let you down, but not even Om Harlan had a problem with that. So why do we always have to think about other people's feelings rather than our own lives?"


"You're selfish, Vania."


"Mother's wrong. I'm just trying to get what I want. Is there anything I'm hurting about refusing that match?"


Melly mute.


"I made a promise that I didn't understand. Would I sin if I cancelled it now? While Om Harlan, who was promised by my father to marry his son to me, gave it all away."


"Sorry, Mom. I want to live my life as I want, without dictation from others. Because at the end of the day, it's all I feel." said Vania, then left.

"Udah deh Pah, actually there is a relationship what the hell is Papa with Bang Arya? how'd it get to that?" the King's voice echoed in his room.


"Still the same question, and Papa will still give the same answer." replied Harlan.


"But Papa's attitude was suspicious, Papa always sided with him as if Papa had a close relationship with him."


"Father just does what you deserve, but not what you think."


"Papa's answer is ambiguous. Make me even more sure there's something else besides that."


"As far as you are, there is no point in me explaining things, because you still won't believe."


"Obviously, because it turns out he caused Papa's attention to decrease all this time. I thought it was just work, but what else was there?"


"As far as you." Harlan got up, and intended to end his visit at the branch office that week.


"That's what you always say, and finally avoid."


"Papa was even willing to sacrifice the match after knowing that Bang Aryalah was a person who was close to Vania. Whereas before papa often forced me to agree." finally the sentence slid from the mouth of the King.


"Papa .. simply does not want to be a selfish person, imposing the will on someone who does not want to undergo the matchmaking."


"Didn't the treaty have been made long before Vania's father died?"


"Indeed."


"Why can it be cancelled so easily?"


"What do you expect? Papa imposes a will on Vania, and destroys her relationship with others just because of the agreement?"


King silent.


"Look, the agreement is not absolute. We used to only hope that this relationship was not just a friendship, but could be continued by our descendants. Either, it is a marriage, or a relationship like that, but you have to make it clear, if one of you really has a partner, then no one should force the will. Moreover, it must destroy a relationship for the sake of the establishment of the matchmaking. Because a relationship in coercion won't work."


"Papa forced you because you never seemed to be in contact with anyone, and Papa asked Bu Melly the same time."


"You always refuse if Papa talks about the match, then why are you protesting now?"


The king was unable to answer the question of the Papa, because it was such a fact. For years he refused the matchmaking he should have received if he had known the figure of the girl he would be betrothed to.


"You're sorry?" harlan said later.


"Of course I'm sorry. I've been waiting for Vania for a long time, and hope that by refusing the matchmaking it can get her. Without me knowing, it turned out that he was the one who made a match with me." replied the King in a weak voice.


"But Papa gave up after finding out he was with Bang Arya?"


"King ...


"Actually Papa's son, .. am I what Bang Arya?" The king said it with a bitter tone.


"Your mind is too far away, and Papa explained it has nothing to do with Arya. Even with other people Papa will not force the will."


"really? but the truth is not what I feel now. Not just about this, about the company too papa so."


"King ..."


"Papa would always make her a priority, even if I begged for myself." And they both fell silent.


While Arya undoes her intention to go in to see the two men in the room after what she heard back with her own ears.

"Have you met Mr. Harlan and Mr. King?" Cindy appeared later.


"Not yet, it looks like they're discussing, and ... I don't dare to go in right now so, ... I'll leave this for you to hand over later huh?" Arya submitted a sketch of the building design she had completed that week.


"Good sir."


"Then I go home first?" pamit Aryan's.


"Good Sir."

"I don't think you're coming? from yesterday there was no news." Alena helps Vania insert a travel bag containing several pieces of clothing instead to the back of Hardi's car. The couple accidentally picked her up straight to the kiosk on Friday afternoon after getting a message during the day.


"After I thought, I thought I needed a vacation. Dizziness too if you keep doing the work." Vania follows her best friend into the car after believing everything is safe.


"Indeed." Alena glanced at her husband who was waiting behind the wheel.


"Sister Alya is Anna's sister?" Vania looked around.


"They're in first. Especially Alya, I can't wait. Understandably, after giving birth is not perfect anywhere." Alena laughing.


"Haha, .. Yes?"


"Hmm ... continue, what if your store left?"


"No way, I'm sharing with Mimi."


"Weekend is usually crowded, right?" sahut Hardi from behind the wheel.


"Yes, but I've been off until Sunday, who knows they need a vacation too right? since the open no one's been off, pity."


"Your son, if you try yourself. It's all up to us. No permission from the boss."


"Yes, we are the boss." replied Vania.


"Yes, Bang Arya tuh, it's hard to really want to take a day off, sometimes Saturday week is also still a work. Yesterday the answer was fitting I brought again."


"Ng ... time?" Vania stared at the screen of her phone, hoping that the man her best friend was talking about was sending a message. But nil, the man did not even preach to her after a few days.


"Yes, sometimes I feel sorry. Bang Arya still has to do it, but it should be relaxed."


"Yes too." Vania responded. "So ... Brother didn't come?" he turned his attention away from the cell phone, then turned his head towards the building where Arya worked as the car they were riding in passed by the place.


"No way. I was also on the phone, he answered a lot more work. Moreover, Om Harlan often come here, right?" Alena answered.


"Hm ..." Vania nodded her head.


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


Arya was stunned in front of the tavern when she got there, the place looked quiet and there was no sign of anyone. The owner was not even there, but the girl was usually never absent from selling despite the rainstorm though. A small board that says 'Close' is installed in front of the rollingdoor, indicating that the place is not operating.


The man tried to make a phone call to Vania's number, but was rejected several times.


"Why is he?" Arya muttered while staring at the screen of her phone, then she returned to make a phone call.


"Ish, ... What's the problem?" mumbling again.


[ Lift Van. You where? why is the shop closed?] Arya sent a message.


There's no reply.


[Vania, any problems?]


Still no answer.


[You angry with brother? is there something wrong?] Arya starts to panic, but Vania still hasn't answered her message.


"Ish, ..." Arya rubbed her face violently.


But the man frowned when he saw the status of whatsapp Alena, where the face of Vania plastered with two favorite toddlers. Make Arya immediately make a phone call to the number of her youngest sister.


"Where are you going?" Arya asked.


"Ke Lembang, yesterday I told you I wanted a vacation." Alena answered.


"Kok Vania coming?"


"Follow it, will I take it." replied from across the street again.


"Ng ...


"Any busy?"


"Mm .. ma-still."


"Well, .. can't follow dong?"


"Reg ...


"Have you been? this is Alea crying. Later call again if you're relaxed." then the connection is cut off.
