A Match For Brother

Aryan Promise

They entered the quiet-looking house, which now felt even quieter than before. The cold weather and cloudy skies add to the increasingly gray atmosphere, adding to the sad two hearts that are still overwhelmed with grief due to loss, after a week of fire and miscarriage events occurred.

Vania stopped as she passed the window, then turned her head towards the backyard. A not-so-large area behind their house that is only separated by a bulkhead near the stairs to their room.

Several flower pots and small mango trees thrive there, near walls laid out to resemble cliffs in the open, with vines decorating them.

He stared at the mound of earth that was like it had just been piled up, with a sprig of white roses planted on it.

Vania opened the door, then walked to the area, and stopped right near the mound, then crouched down. Quiet for a while until the arrival of Arya disperse her daydream.

"It's late in the afternoon, it's gonna be raining soon. Comein?" he crouched down, then touched the woman's shoulder.

"He... is he a man or a woman?" Vania murmuring.

"Don't know, isn't it shaped?"

"Again look?"

"See."

"What does it look like?" Vania looked up.

"It's still a blob."

"So, ... What name do we give?"

"What yes? I didn't think about it."

"Darling, ... Hasn't there been any miscarriage?" Vania looked again at the mound of land.

"It's not ours, ..." Arya embraces Vania's body, then pulls it to get up.

***

"Police have any information about the cause of the fire?" Vania again started the conversation while they were in the living room, after finishing a dinner that felt bland and tasteless.

"Don't know yet."

"Could it be that the cafe was deliberately set on fire?" Vania with her assumptions.

"There's no evidence."

"When it was deliberately burned? someone will buy the cafe, but I don't love it. Maybe deliberately let me loose with a cheap price."

"There's no evidence that leads there Van. They're trying to uncover it now."

"If that were true, .. would they? dare to do evil to get what they want?"

"Sometimes possessions can make anyone blind. The desire to have something can make anyone forget. Eliminate humanity, even being able to obscure blood relations."

"Is it possible that Aunt Rahma was the same Om Rian? last night I fought with them for forcing mom to sell the cafe."

"There's no evidence yet, and we shouldn't be accusing recklessly, or it'll be slander."

"Hm... "

"Don't think about it, we better focus on your health." Arya pulled him into her arms, then held him so tightly.

"Have you eaten?"

"Udah." Vania nodded her head.

"Vitamins?"

"Udah too." his head twitched in an embrace.

"Well, let's go to bed?" bring later.

"It's still nine." the woman glanced at the wall clock not far from them.

"There must be plenty of rest, so that you can recover quickly." Arya got up and pulled the woman upstairs where their room was.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The thunderous sound of lightning struck in the distance, but it felt so close that it broke the silence of the late night, interrupted by a torrent of rain, which lowered the air temperature to the point of almost freezing.

Vania awoke from her sleep, and she felt an immeasurable panic.

Arya awakens when she feels movement beside her, and the blanket is revealed by the woman before she gets out of their bed.

"Vania, .." call her as she walks out.

Arya followed him, and by the time they arrived at the bottom of the floor the woman immediately opened the storage cabinet under the stairs.

"Paddler.". "he muttered.

"Where do you keep the umbrella?" he asked, without stopping the activities of his hands. Opened a few closet doors, and a drawer he could reach with his hands.

"Oars for what?" Arya approaching.

"Where's bang?"

Arya grabbed an object by the side of the closet, a small umbrella she used to keep there.

"For what?" he held out an umbrella in his grasp, which Vania immediately accepted.

The woman did not answer, she opened the back door and walked to the back of the house.

Vania stopped right near the mound, which she knew was where the five-week-old fetus was buried.

"Kasian brother, he's rained, and cold." Vania murmuring. With the umbrella he carried, he crouched down blocking the mound of land from the rain.

"He was alone" he said again, dredging the edges of the pile of soil that began to be submerged in rain water with his hands. Make the water that starts to stagnate it flows to the other side.

"Vania Rain, ..."

"I know, and he's rained too."

"It's late, and we have to go in." Arya.

"Pity her bang." Vania with a soft look.

"But it's midnight. You should be inside the house, not to mention the rain this hard, you'll get sick if you keep sitting here." the man approached and squatted down.

"Can't we make something so this place shady for him? how not to get rained on like a gini? pity." said Vania again.

Arya was silent with a feeling of sadness. This woman is not aware of his words, she is still dominated by sadness and deep sorrow, so that makes her grope unreasonable.

"We make it tomorrow. Now we have to get back home, right?" wheedled.

"Now brother, the rain is now, .. if tomorrow the rain has subsided."

"But Van...

"He was cold, .. pity.. "his whining, and it made Arya really full.

"We'll pay tonight, ... " Arya placed the umbrella she carried on the mound of land.

"Tomorrow, make something, okay?"

"Hum?" Vania looked up.

"Now we're in again, huh? you'll get sick if you keep quiet here."

"He's alone."

"He's not alone, we're in the house."

"But...

"We are still the same, even though it is different in nature. But I'm sure he's okay. God will take good care of her, and she will be with those who were there first."

Vania looked at him with teary eyes.

"You know, he'd be sad to know his mother's like this."

"Times?"

"If we love him, we better pray every day, don't mourn him like this."

"I didn't...

"Pray him, Vania. He will welcome us to the gates of heaven when we die. He will be our savior."

"What do you think?"

"Not that you think, but it's like that."

The woman was silent.

"So, let's go in? you have to be healthy to take care of your brother and have another child." Arya tried to persuade him.

"Can we have another child?"

"It can, of course."

"What if not?"

"certainly could. The doctor said we could have another child. But before that, you must be healthy first, and you must not continue to grieve like this." the man said.

"Dream promises?"

"promises. This time brother will take care of you more." said Arya, more like being persuaded a small child to follow his words.

Vania then rose.

"But tomorrow make something so this place is shady huh? if it rains again, he won't be cold, so I won't be too sad." Vania fixed the umbrella that shaded the little belly button of their baby.

"Yes, tomorrow you make it." Arya got up, and she took her hand. Slowly he moved his legs to take her away from that place.
