A Tale of Ary

46. The Little Sister

After finishing the meal, the waiter brought a trolley containing a closed tray and put it on the table.

"This is what else, brother? Ary is full!" ary said as soon as the waiter left them.

"Open it!" bayu said.

Ary obediently opened the lid, inside was a bouquet of roses and Ary's favorite lilies. There is also a small red velvet box.

"Ohhhhh!" ary said fascinated with a bouquet of flowers that look beautiful in Ary's eyes.

Bayu picked up the box and stood up to Ary. Once close, Bayu crouched down with the position next to his feet placed towards the back.

While opening the box Bayu said with a thumping chest.

"I'm not a perfect person, I still have many shortcomings. But it doesn't dampen my desire to annoy you. I can't give you a palace or a treasure, because all I have is love. I'm not offering to date, because I want a sacred bond." Bayu paused on his sentence.

"Ary, will you marry me?" say Bayu finally.

Ary whose intention was to take a bouquet of flowers that undo his intention. He was surprised that Bayu really wanted more than just a brother.

"Sir Bayu wake up! Don't be like this, it's not good to see the others!' ary said persuading Bayu to wake up from his current position.

"You answer first, I just wake up." Bayu replied fixed in his position.

"Whatever the answer is, sister Bayu will wake up right?" ask Ary was-was.

"Whatever it is, I'll take it with a chest of air." Bayu replied.

Bayu procrastinates to express his feelings for Ary, as he feels unsure Ary will accept her. Ary's very secretive about his feelings. Ary always closed his heart to anyone, that's what Bayu knew all along.

"Before Ary apologizes, maybe Ary's answer will hurt Bayu's feelings" said Ary while looking down.

Ary is very afraid of hurting other people's feelings, moreover Bayu has been too good to him.

"Tell Ary, as much as I can take it" Bayu said.

"Ary has always loved Bayu, too, but..." Ary couldn't continue his words.

"But what is Ary? Quickly tell me, my legs have started to numb this!'' said Bayu impatiently.

"Makanya, brother Bayu woke up and continued to sit again in the seat of brother!" answer Ary.

"You tell me quickly, let me not sit in this position all the time!" bayu said.

Finally Ary relented, gathering all his courage. Ary was determined to answer Bayu's question. Whatever it is, Ary has to express what he felt all along.

"But Ary just thinks Bayu's sister is like his own brother. I'm sorry." said Ary, looking down.

Ary has not been able to open his heart to any man. Even Rendy who had been seducing him often had not been able to knock on the door of his heart, let alone open his heart.

"It's okay, Ary!" said Bayu while standing up and approaching Ary.

Bayu rubbed Ary's head gently for a moment.

"Is this all because of Mom? Mother asked you to reject me?" ask Bayu.

"This has nothing to do with Mom, brother! From the beginning, Ary has considered Bayu's brother like Ary's own brother." replied Ary.

"You yaki." asked Bayu again.

"Very sure! If not sure, when Bayu's brother was betrothed to Yuni's brother that day. Ary must have been heartbroken. But Ary was happy, Ary thought that Bayu's sister had married Yuni's sister." replied Ary with the biggest smile.

"All right then. May we be brothers and sisters who love each other and support each other in kindness" Bayu said at last.

"Aamiinu. Forgive Ary, Brother!" only that word was said from Ary's lips.

"It's okay, you take the flowers. Honey has been bought, for you!" bayu said.

"Ary took the flowers, but his ring brother Bayu save for sister Bayu's wife later." replied Ary still smiling.

"OK! It's late, let's go home!" bring Bayu.

***

Bayu takes Ary home. After Bayu left Ary's house, Ary began to enter the house by saying greetings first.

"Ary, Mommy wants to talk for a second!" said Mommy.

Mom and Dad are waiting for Ary in the living room.

"Yes, Bun." replied Ary as he approached Father and Mother, then sat down between the two.

"Can you ask?" ask Mommy.

"Live it, Bun! No need to muter! It's night!" the word Father reminds Mother.

"Well, what kind of relationship are you with?" ask Mommy.

"Friend only, Bun! No more, if it was more just a sister." replied Ary.

"You see this picture!" father said while handing over a piece of the photo to Ary.

"Yes, Ary knows! Like a betel in two!" answer Ary.

"It means right that.." Mother has not finished saying that Ary has been cut.

"Not necessarily, Bun! When Ary asked what his father's name was, the answer was different. But Ary doesn't believe it. Moreover, Marinah's mother had reminded Ary not to expect more. There is a cover-up of his mother, sister Bayu deh. Kasian, sister Bayu!" ary said interrupting Mother's words without pause at all.

"Dad saw for himself, right, the face of the Bayu is exactly the same as the deceased" said Mother turned to look at Father.

"Yes, exactly the same! I thought the deceased was not Bayu." replied Dad.

"You never asked Bayu, who is he? Have you ever told a story about her childhood?" Mother railed the question to Ary.

"Ary where dare to ask his childhood, later thought Ary want to know the affairs of the people." replied Ary while moving his sitting position.

"You know him for a long time, nine years Ary. Cook never heard of Bayu's childhood story!" said Mommy.

"Never my mother, dear!" answer Ary. Ary is too careless, he does not want to know other people's business. So Ary was lazy to find out about Bayu's childhood.

"Yes, you slept there tonight!" said Father.

"Okay, Dad! Dad's the best!" ary said while hugging his father.

"Well, what was hugged? Mother no!" mother said jealous because Ary hugged her father.

Ary then approached Mother and hugged her.

"Ary loves Daddy and Mommy" said Ary after taking off his arms.

"We love Ary too!" father and Mother said at the same time.

"Dad and Mother sleep too dong! Let's get some rest!" ary said as she stepped her feet towards her room.

Meanwhile at Bayu's place.

Bayu looks lethargic, his spirit is lost out somewhere. He felt like he had failed to get his silent love. For too long he had been feeling, without turning a single turn turned out to have to run aground. Kandas because his feelings are unrequited, not in accordance with what he had hoped for so far.

Bayu went into his room with a lunglai. Marinah's mother who saw her son like that followed directly from behind. Marinah's mother also entered Bayu's room.

"Ngopo tho Le, what is sajake gelo??" asked Marinah ma'am while sitting approaching the boy just wayangnya.

Bayu just remained silent while taking a deep breath and then exhaling it violently.

"Same story mom here!" said Ms. Marinah.

(Why the hell, son, how does it seem to be disappointed??)
