A Pair of Lotus Flowers

Brother Lift up

My name is Nara, I am an only child who is very spoiled by my parents.When the 1st grade Junior High suddenly papah and my mother brought a boy.His name is Beni,he is tall white and his body looks thin.Kata papah he will be my adoptive brother, he will also always take care of me in the future.Actually his age is not too far with me,at that time Beni was in the 3rd grade of Junior High and I was in the 1st grade of Junior High.

Beni is the son of the late om Tomi and aunt Dina, best friend of papah.They died in an accident 2 months earlier and no other family can take care of Beni.After the adoption procedure is taken care of by papah, the,Benipun has officially become part of our family.Papah also moved Beni school to my school.

I never felt burdened by Beni coming into my family,because he is also quite good and attentive although very quiet.Additionally I had long dreamed of having a sister or a brother.

Our fraternal life is quite good but also not too close like siblings.Perhaps because we both know that before we were only strangers to each other.We went and went home to school together.My friends who likes Beni and knows that I am his sister racing to leave a gift for him.

Beni is a very ignorant person, he does not care about the women who approach him.He only shows his attention to me.Such as when I came home drenched, he scolded me for fear I would be sick.And when I was sick, he said,Beni also went back and forth to my room to see how I was doing.Everything went comfortably, peacefully and harmoniously.Until before tonight came.

"Praaaangg" The sound of a broken flower vase.

"You can think?You already have a child Hesti, your children are also adults.Can you have another lover whose age is almost the same as your adopted child ! " Shouted papah to my mama.

"Keep what if I have another younger man?you were never there for me.Your life, your time, that's all you love for your patients in the hospital" said the mother crying.

"I'm a doctor Hesti, do you know what the doctor's job is?if you're not ready for the same marriage, the doctor should have never wanted to marry me" cried father again.

"Yes, divorce me mas.I don't want to marry your rich doctor, I'd better choose another man who is more affectionate and considerate of me."

"Yes from today you are not my wife anymore, please leave here! Don't ask Nara to come with mom like you" Papah said.

"Well, you can't go.Mamah can't go ninggalin I do.Mamah love it is not the same me?" I screamed while crying.

"Sorry, my dear, you have to go.You are here?Here there is papah same brother Beni, you are also already in 3rd grade High School and have grown up.Surely you can understand why mamah chose this path" said my mamah while crying and releasing my hand.

"I don't want Mah, we are family.I, papah, mamah and brother Beni.Nobody can go from here Mah"

"Nara, go to your room.Let your mom go see her new boyfriend" Papah snapped.

Mamah then left me who was still crying to call her.I who from childhood got great affection from both my parents felt as if half my soul just disappeared.Kak Beni memapah me back to the room,from earlier he just kept quiet and observed without speaking a single bit.

"Udah you sleep first Ra, mamah must be fine even though you have not lived here anymore" said Beni.

"But I don't want to see you go, brother, I want to go mamah aja" I said while sobbing.

"If you follow your mama, precisely later I will be the same papah worried.We do not know mamah will live where and who?" Said Brother Beni while stroking my head.

Because I cried too much, my eyes felt heavy and gradually getting sleepy.Kak Beni who knows I slept directly back to his room.But strangely before he came out, I had felt that ka Beni kissed my lips.
