A Match For Brother

Harlan's figure

🌺

Vania had just reached the door when Arya's car arrived at her yard. The girl immediately put on a jacket, grabbed her bag and cell phone, then walked out.

"Are you ready?" the man got out of his car.

"Udah, come." said Vania, but she frowned when she saw the lover still look like yesterday.

"Anybody not home yet?" Vania asked.

"Not yet." Arya turned towards the passenger, then opened the door for Vania. And the girl entered, while continuing to look at him who again walked around towards the driver's seat.

"Where is abis? work?" Vania asked again.

Arya poked her lips for a while, then exhaled her breath quickly.

"Remove from the hospital." He started running his car.

"Who's sick?" Vania is back.

"Sir Harlan" he replied in a weak voice.

"What's? why?"

"Because of heart attack."

"Can't you?"

"Yes, ..."

🍁 Flashback On 🍁

Arya rushes to the hospital as soon as she gets word from Cindy, challenging Harlan who had a heart attack after a heated argument with the King the previous afternoon in the study.

The man immediately ran to the emergency room as soon as he arrived, and found the King already there, sitting in the waiting room chair in a moody state with his head bowed.

"What's wrong?" Arya asked.

The king raised his head, and a flash of fury was visible in his eyes. He got up and stood up, challenging the man before him.

"It always comes at the right time, doesn't it?" King says.

"How is Mr. Harlan? is she okay?" Arya asked back.

"We .. were fine before he set up a branch in this city and met you." King replied.

Arya was stunned, and her mind revolved processing what she heard had come out from the mouth of the young man before her.

"We were like any other normal family, but after going back and forth to Bandung everything changed."

Arya understood where this conversation was going. The same problem, and the man who still does not understand, and he still can not accept many things.

"Tell me what exactly is your relationship? is there a connection in the past? are we father-brothers? but that is not what I am concerned about, but rather his injustice to us. Me and my mom. He doesn't treat us as he should, and the worst of it is that he seems to forget us. Especially I'm his son." The king fieryly, both of his eyes flushed red as anger still controlled him. After an emotionally draining debate earlier, that ended the fall of the father before the man said many things, and especially the cause he wanted to hand over the management of a portion of the company to Arya, which of course got a strong opposition from him.

"You never want to listen, all you know is to talk and demand an explanation, but you don't want to hear anything."

"No need to beat around the bush, just tell the truth!" serga Raja with a growling voice.

"What should I say? I don't have any answers."

"Currently, are you guys just as rotten that you stubbornly cover each other up?"

"Take care of your words."

"For years I have been trying to figure out what caused my father to be like that, to reduce his attention to us, and everything he has done seems not to come from his heart, but to the extent of fulfilling his obligations. He's with us, but his soul is out of nowhere. And after years of searching, it turned out that the cause was right before my eyes." The king recalled how changed he felt at that time, when the father who was slowly behaving differently to him, as well as to his mother.

Harlan always seemed to be trying to pull away from whatever they were doing. The man began to seem indifferent to his family, although he admitted that the father always carried out his duties very well and full of responsibility. But he still felt the difference. He was never a teenager, even on other important days, the father rarely attended for busy reasons.

Especially when at one time, Harlan decided to expand his family business, and he set up a branch in the city of Bandung with enthusiasm, with the, which makes him have to often go back and forth to the city to take care of his business. And it even makes the state of their family stretch. His attention seemed to be divided into two, and he often did not have time to spend time with family. Although everything they need Harlan to give, but it can not replace the time that has disappeared.

"I suspected a lot of things, especially when she wasn't around when my mom needed her the most at the last moment. And these years I'm starting to find answers."

"Your existence has caught my father's attention."

"Your suspicions are unwarranted, moreover he only helped me in some way."

"Omomg blank!" The king snorted, then left.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Arya decides to stay in the hospital, choosing to wait for the man while her own son is still thinking unimportant things for her to fuss about. At dawn the king returned in a state of disarray.

The young man was unable to shake his guilt even though anger clearly still prevailed every time he saw Arya. The figure that was in his shadow had snatched everything from him.

Taking in and enjoying whatever he has including his father's affection, which he has only recently learned of. After following her heart to find out, especially after the cancellation of the match between her and Vania, which she thought was caused by Arya's existence with the girl.

He thought, Harlan chose to give up because of him, a figure that has always been his comparison. The figure of the employee he always called as an example for whatever he did, which over time made him so sick, and raised envy in the heart. Especially because the man who was always leaning more towards him.

However, Harlan was still his father, and he could not possibly forget that despite the amount of his anger. He will always come for his father.

The two of them faced each other again, and there was no trepidation in the look on the King's face. He kept acting like that, maybe for a very long time.

Arya got up, she was relieved that the King was back, although she felt guilty also after hearing his words a moment ago. About his prejudices and all his suspicions which are completely unwarranted. Just because Harlan cares for him.

"Sir Harlan is not yet conscious." he said.

The king just grunted.

The young man before him was silent.

"I'm fine, but I hope you'll tell me that Papa you're aware."

"In your dreams!" King murmuring.

Arya seemed to be sighing heavily, there was indeed no point in talking to this person, but what could be done, she was just trying to appreciate it.

"Well then .." the man stepped out of the place, before something stopped behind the King, then turned around.

"You know the King? you should be grateful for what you have now. Because you don't have to fight hard to get it. While out there a lot of people who can't achieve anything even after they try very hard just because they don't have the ability that is now on you. And my attitude to Mr. Harlan is only a form of gratitude for having been met with a figure like him. Who has helped wholeheartedly regardless of status and circumstances. He didn't do it because we had blood ties or anything on your mind. Because basically, one does not have to have a blood relationship to help each other. Just use your heart to feel, and you'll know without judging."

"And you should also be grateful, because you still have parents. A figure that I do not have to be made a backrest and protection. I would trade anything in the world if only it would bring my parents back. Because there's nothing better than living around your parents."

"So, .. Listen to your Father, and be kind to him. Before they leave and you're too late to realize that their existence means a lot."

🍁 Flashback Off 🍁

Arya stops her car when the traffic light turns red, along with her breathing which she ignores so deeply.

"Now my brother feels guilty" he said.

"Why?"

"The help you received so far made Mr. Harlan forget about his family. And brother just realized that."

"Not the brother who asked."

"Indeed. But still ...

"What did Om Harlan do to help my brother?"

"much. He gave a decent job so that the brothers could support the younger siblings until now. Give your brother the opportunity to go to college until it works and he teaches you a lot of whatever you know now."

"Including the education of brothers?" Vania tilted her head.

"Inflictionally so."

The man returned to run his car when the light turned green.

"Why did Om Harlan help his brother?."

"Don't know .. might pity seeing a brother working to take care of the sisters..." Arya chuckles.

"Will you ever ask for help?"

"As far as you can remember, you never asked for any help, but Mr. Harlan always extended help at the right time. And that's quite lightening."

"Why should you feel guilty?"

"Don't know. It's just that hearing the King talk like that made my brother feel guilty. Mr. Harlan desperately helped his brother, but his own son he abandoned." he furniture his car to the area of Vania's tavern which was opened that morning, then stopped at his usual place.

"It's not wrong brother." Vania patted him on the shoulder slowly.

"But the King doesn't think that way."

"Nothing, we can't max out our thoughts on each other. If he chooses to stay like that, what can we do? he'll be tired himself."

Arya turned to Vania, then smiled.

"What?" the girl pulled her hand.

"You speak very wisely" said Arya accompanied by a slow pangs.

"Lah, yes. Why do we also maksa, finally not good." replied Vania.

"Oh yeah?"

"Humm." he nodded.

"Marriage is bad too?"

"What connection?"

"Nothing, brother just the origin of the talk." Arya chuckled again.

"Don't you? you're sleep-deprived, so I'm talking about it."

"Indeed, brother sleepy."

"Yes, sleep in my room. It'll be noon."

"Hm ..."

Then they came down to start the day.
