Rezi touched the tip of Neha's shoulder, suddenly the girl turned around and saw Rezi standing behind her.

"Darling, may I ask you a favor?" ask Rezi gently.

Neha played her palm, followed by a movement from her lips.

"Look, my friend .. No, that means my sister-in-law. Shenina, she's following Evgen to London. There's something he needs to finish there. And .. There's a little brother he left here."

Neha frowned, looking at Rezi's slightly puzzled expression to explain.

"His sister these few days, I'll take care of her. I wouldn't have brought her home if Mama knew Shenina was there. Maybe Mama won't agree" Rezi explained gently.

Rezi looked at the pretty girl's face and smiled widely.

"So .. can you help me take care of her?" ask Rezi gently.

Neha smiled and nodded her head. He didn't mind if there was a child who would trouble him.

Because he was just living his own life. Perhaps this opportunity could make him feel how to become a Big Brother.

Rezi runs into Neha's compound, inviting Seta to meet her girlfriend.

"Neha, this is Seta. She's Shenina's sister" Rezi explained.

Neha smiled and gently stroked the boy's head.

"Seta, he's Neha's brother. She's Big Brother's fiancee, for how many days. You live with him."

"But, Brother?" Seta looked at Neha's face.

He was not afraid of the beautiful girl, but he was more reluctant. Afraid of bothering the young lady later.

"Sister Neha was not a bad person, she was a very gentle and loving woman. You'll be fine, don't be afraid."

"I live at home is also okay Kok Kak, usual when brother Shen work. I can also be alone, or not in the orphanage as well" replied Seta reluctantly.

Neha grabbed both of Seta's cheeks and looked up her head. He moved his fingers together with the movement of his lips.

Rezi smiled gently, he grabbed both of Seta's shoulders and bent a little bit of his body to match the little boy.

"Seta, Sister Neha cannot speak. But Neha said she would take good care of you here. Does her face look like a stepmother?"

Shaking his head, he was embarrassed.

"Alright, if not just like this," Rezi said again.

"Can you take care of Brother Neha? Watch out for Neha, if there is a man who tries to get close to Neha, you say the same to Brother. Can you?"

Seta sighed and nodded slowly.

Rezi smiled gently and ruffled Seta's hair.

"All right, what do you want to eat? Let me buy you."

Neha shook her head, she pulled the man's hands together to enter her house.

Put Rezi and Seta at his dinner table. Quickly, he cooked a few dishes. Put it on the dining table.

Neha smiled, her eyes constantly looking at the face of the little boy in front of her.

"Neha," call Rezi softly.

Neha gave a quick glance towards Rezi, then she looked back at the little man's face.

"Neha, if you look at Seta any longer, I'll be jealous" Rezi said.

Neha smiled gently. He took out his phone and gave it to Seta.

(Seta, let's eat it. Brother made this for you. Brother is glad you're here. You won't feel lonely again for a few days).

Seta returned the phone to Neha's hand. He began to scoop up the rice and some of the side dishes that Neha served.

"Aren't you eating?" seta asked when he saw Neha and Rezi who were still silent on him.

Neha shook her head, her eyes turning towards Rezi.

"Sister has eaten, you have eaten much. In order to get big fast," said Rezi softly.

Seta began to feed her food, occasionally glancing at Neha who kept looking at her.

There was an unpleasant feeling, yet upon seeing the twinkle of his eyes. I feel comfortable between the two of them.

After letting Seta fall asleep in the guest room of his house. Neha meets Rezi who is still faithfully waiting for her on the porch seat of the house.

He put a cup of tea and a plate of snacks.

"Seta is asleep?" ask Rezi gently.

Neha nodded her head, her hands still busy brewing tea into the small glass.

"Neha, have you heard? Next month Chen is getting married" Rezi said softly.

Neha's hand shook, she spilled the hot liquid tea over her thighs. Surprised when he heard Rezi's words.

"Neha are you okay?" Rezi pulled out a tissue and rubbed Neha's thighs quickly.

Neha stopped Rezi's hand movements. He ran to the room to change his clothes.

Looks red marks that adorn both sides of the white thighs.

Neha shook her head, she sighed a little heavily.

"I know what's on your mind right now. Neha, this is Chen's decision. We can't bother him, let them solve the problem on their own" Rezi explained gently.

(I know, Rezi. But, Ruby, I just don't have the heart to see him get hurt).

Rezi smiled wryly as he read the message that came into his gawai.

Rezi sighed slightly heavily, leaning his field shoulder on the back of the chair.

"Everyone has their own story, Neha. And everyone will learn from different experiences as well. The meander they were experiencing right now, it was already their own path."

Rezi grabbed Neha's hand, grasping her tightly.

"In love, there are bound to be happy and some disappointed. This is undeniable, Neha, for every path of love has its own liking to pass. If there is no third heart to bear disappointment, then two hearts that love each other can still hurt and disappoint each other" said Rezi softly.

"Because love not only teaches to love each other and love only. But love also teaches to understand each other and let go when one of them wants to leave. Because love sometimes not only has to have each other, but love sometimes also exists to pass each other."

Rezi smiled gently and stroked her lover's chubby cheeks.

"Sometimes love is seen not just when you can have it. But when you can let go of him to be happy with his choices. Because love is never forced, Neha. He wouldn't have picked the wrong place. Sometimes love chooses the wrong person."

Neha turned her fingers back, returned Rezi's hand and smiled gently.

(I know, Rezi. But Ruby is still my best friend. I wouldn't leave him in this state. I know Ruby will be disappointed, but I also know that now Chen is happy with his choice).

Rezi smiled again, stroking Neha's head gently.

"I know you're a smart girl, Neha. Be with your friend, and come with me as my future wife. I know you're in a difficult situation, but you'll be part of our family, sooner or later, Aya will be your cousin."

Neha nodded her head, realizing that she was in a big dilemma right now.

Somehow explain it to Ruby, but sooner or later this fact must be revealed.

***

Neha opened the glass door of Ruby's flower shop. Unlike usual, Ruby is not in the flower shop at all.

Neha arranged some flowers, placing them on a glass display. After some time, Ruby still did not come out of her room.

Neha knocked on Ruby's bedroom door, opening it slowly.

It looks Ruby who is still shaking a hiccup under her mattress. Clutching both knees.

Neha walked over, trying to ask what happened.

Ruby gives a piece of the invitation, with the names Chen and Soraya.

"Who would have thought me and Chen would just end up like this?" ruby said bitterly.

Ruby pulled Neha's body and hugged her tightly.

"I know in this matter I'm wrong, Neha. Butwhy? Why can't I accept that Chen is getting married?" ruby asked in tears.

Neha simply stroked Ruby's shoulder gently. He doesn't know what to say. This situation was really difficult for him.

"You and Chen will be cousins, then who am I among you? I'll just be a stranger in your life."

Neha let go of Ruby's embrace and shook her head.

He plays his hand, where Ruby may be a stranger. In the future, Ruby and Chen remain the closest people to her.

Moreover, Ruby, she was like a brother to Neha herself.

"Neha, should I congratulate you? I can't, Neha. I can't, Chen ... Chen is a person I love very much" Ruby said.

(Ruby, sometimes life has to be like this. The world has its own laws. Right now if Chen is no longer willing by your side. Maybe this is the law of the world for you and him).

Ruby smiled bitterly and nodded her head.

"You're right, Neha. This is karma for me for wasting it once. I ... realized too late and also regretted it."

(Let go of what you're supposed to let go of, Ruby. Don't hold the weight anymore, even if you don't let it go, the one that leaves will still go. For love is not in coercion, but it is present because of volunteerism. Later you will find other men who can love you wholeheartedly. And he, definitely not Chen anymore).

"How can I let go, Neha? How'd it go?" ask Ruby ketus.

(You've let go once, I'm sure you can let go twice. If at that time you let go because you love someone else. So now you let him go because you love him. Ruby, letting go is not always bad, sometimes we do have to let go, not for the happiness of others. But for our own happiness. Because it is useless if you want to be maintained, but in the end you will only feel a deepening disappointment).

Ruby again pulled Neha's shoulder, burying her face on the girl's narrow shoulder.

Letting her cries break even more, and deep.

Sometimes love has to go this hard. Not to punish the fragile heart, but to strengthen the heart.

More and more often the heart is broken and disappointed. Then it will be stronger and the heart will survive in the wound.

Sometimes this does look cruel, but without realizing it, this is the deepest lesson. That man will only be strong after he falls and is wounded.

God has his own way of testing. Sometimes it hurts, but His plan is also the most unique.

Because the pleasure is often felt real, after we experience a lot of suffering.

Maybe we don't understand, maybe we don't realize either. God always has his own way of giving.

Simply enjoy and live each process even though bitter. Because one day you will definitely understand, that what you are experiencing right now. It's the thing you're most grateful for someday.
