Evgen stood in front of the large glass of his room, buttoning his shirt and combing the hair that began to lengthen.
"Sister," call Niki in the doorway.
"Hey, Nik. What was? Here in!" evgen commands gently.
Niki walks into Evgen's room, noticing Evgen tidying up his hair.
"Aren't you going to the reunion?" ask Niki flat.
"Yes, we haven't seen each other for seven years. Brother misses them too."
"Hem, but I want to say something to Brother."
"Say what?" ask Evgen flat.
"I'm the band entertainer at Brother's reunion."
Evgen stopped his hand movements. Looking towards Niki who was sitting on her bed.
Evgen walked up to Niki, tapping Niki's head with the comb he was holding.
"When did you like music?" ask Evgen softly.
"Is it because most of the snowfall so you forget? I played the piano from a young age."
"I thought you played the piano because you were forced, Mama," Evgen replied.
Evgen walked back to the front of the glass and straightened his hair.
"It's important not to forget your learning. Remember don't play with women, you don't play too much."
"Yes, I'm not playing brother. After all, my band is known to many people and performs in several events. My temen voice, very good Brother. Maybe if he wasn't the vocalist, we wouldn't be as famous as we are today."
"really? Why would I doubt?" ledek Evgen's.
"So don't believe it? Then, how about we bet?" ask Niki ketus.
"Good! Who's afraid?" challenge Evgen.
"If my friend's voice can interest you. Big brother should give 1.000£ for our band. How's it?" ask Niki.
"Alright, 1,000£ would be yours if your game could amaze me."
"Deal." Niki extended her hand.
"Okay, deal," said Evgen shaking Niki's hand.
"But before that, bring Yi Wen here. I'll take her to the reunion, "evgen ordered gently.
"Sister, should Big Brother always take Wen'er with him wherever he goes. Like a widower, this brother, always bring children everywhere" said Niki ketus.
"What if I want to take him? Thing for you?"
"So, just call him yourself. Wen'er is with Papa. I'm lazy to scramble Wen'er with Papa." Niki walked away leaving Evgen alone.
Evgen just smiled and shook his head. Walked to his Papa's office.
"Yi Wen," called Evgen softly.
"Sister, where are you going?" wen'er asked as she looked at Evgen who was so neat with a gray suit wrapped around him.
"I'm going out, come with me out!" take Evgen gently.
Wen'er looked at Sean's face which was currently holding on to her. Wen'er shook her head.
"Why? Are you afraid of Papa?" evgen asked a sharp glance towards Sean.
"No, but Rezi said, I'm moving to Spain. Why would you want to move there? Who are Wen'er the same? Wen'er just entered school. Can't you just stay here with Wen'er?"
Evgen sighed, walking closer to Sean.
"Is now Papa also willing to use Yi Wen to hold me here? It wasn't enough to trick me into using Yi Wen?" ask Evgen cynically.
"Papa has no desire to use Wen'er to deceive and keep you here, Evgen. Didn't you hear, what Wen'er said earlier?"
"Don't use tricks, Pa. I'm no longer the gullible Evgen I used to be" Evgen said.
Evgen looked at Yi Wen's face and smiled gently. Kneeling in front of Yi Wen and stroking the head of the girl.
"Yi Wen, I'm moving to Spain. What if you come with me and move there?"
"Even!" press Sean hard. "If you want to move, then why take Wen'er there? Do you think Papa will let Wen'er go?" asked Sean to delete.
"If Papa and Brother Rezi keep trying to hold me back by using Yi Wen. I can also bring Yi Wen to come with me there," Evgen throttled.
Sean smiled sinisterly and shook his head. The more mature, the nature of Evgen is more similar to himself.
Not afraid of anything, can even fight his own Papa.
"I'm going, Pa." Evgen kissed the tip of Yi Wen's head and stroked it gently.
Coming out of the office of his father, nothing could hinder his intentions. If he wants to go, then even if he has to challenge the world. Evgen is still going.
Evgen signed the guest book before entering the luxury restaurant.
Evgen flipped the paper, looking at the names that had been present. Evgen smiled bitterly and closed the book. A little disappointed, when the name he was looking for did not exist.
Evgen sat in front of the glass of the restaurant, watching the night traffic.
For some reason, when he did not find the girl present here. There was a void in his heart that was again present.
"Excuse me everyone" said a man from the stage.
Evgen turned his gaze, seeing a group of men including his sister, up there.
"Thank you in advance because you've trusted us to comfort you all here. Welcome back, and I'll give you all a song of remembrance."
Evgen henya nodded her head, not caring too much about the appearance of the young men.
He only listened to the intro after intro sung by the young man.
Either this is just a coincidence, or Niki designed it. But Evgen felt back in his memories when he heard verse by verse the song Dewa 19 performed by the vocalist of their band.
With a soft voice and also very melodious. A great song to remember those days.
There was a time when there was still that girl who made him feel happy. Evgen stared back out the window, closing his eyes as the vocalist began to sing the song's refractive tone.
'*Love brought you ....
Back here.
Washing sore.
Take with you ....
The old you, the,
Loving me, as is*.'
Evgen opened both of his eyes. Removing the corner of his eyes that had runny because it was too deep into his memories.
Why would he be so weak like this if he remembered?
Though the girl also did not know where, even this reunion also went without her presence.
"Shenina, where are you?" ask Evgen lirih.
Slowly Evgen dropped his head on the chair. Closing his eyes, remembering what happened two years ago, made him break his promise.
***
2 Years ago.
Evgen prepared a picture of the hall for a well-known company in London at the time.
Winning his first tender, built his namamya together with his close friends. David.
Getting a degree as the best student from Indonesia, makes David jealous of Evgen. Even David stole Evgen's building design and accused Evgen of being a plagiarist of his work.
Because of the allegations, Evgen's name fell. He was threatened with deportation and revoked his title as the best student. Not allowed to return to London forever.
Even because of that problem, Evgen was almost in jail. Tried to clear his name but ended up with him almost losing his life.
When she was like that, Niki instead came to take Yi Wen for a vacation.
Evgen asked Niki to bring Yi Wen back home. But the wise little girl heard, she did not want to go home and instead wanted to stay to accompany Evgen there.
"Yi Wen, you know, I'm confused right now. Go home, I'm afraid no one will take care of you here" Evgen ordered softly.
Yi Wen shook his head, wrapped around Evgen's shoulders with his small hands.
"No, Yi Wen wants to stay here with Big Brother. Yi Wen will not trouble Big Brother, Yi Wen promised," the five-year-old girl said wisely.
With no choice, Evgen can only let the girl stay and accompany her in her cold apartment.
"Sir, please, trust me. The design of the building is mine. David look it from me! (Master, believe me. The design of the building is mine. David took it from me!" press Evgen while talking on his cell phone.
"Im so sorry, Evgen. But, the company believes, if David is the designer, (Sorry, Evgen. But the company believes it was David who made the design)" Charlie replied at the other end.
"How could it be? David is just a thief (How is that possible? David was just a thief)," Evgen replied furiously.
"But that's the reality." (But this is the reality).
Evgen touched the corner of his forehead, he looked at Yi Wen who was watching him speak.
Evgen let go of his smile and walked out of his apartment.
"Okay, can I ask for time? I will prove, that David is nothing more than a thief, (Well, can you give me time? I'll prove, that David is nothing more than a thief), '" Evgen softly pinta.
"Instead of you thinking about David, think about your trial at the end of the month." (From you thinking about David. You better think about your trial by the end of the month).
"But, Sir-"
Charlie immediately disconnected his call. Evgen threw away the things on his balcony table. Sitting limp on a balcony chair holding his forehead.
Evgen took his breath by hunting fast, vengeful by the actions of David who could betray him like this.
Yi Wen opened the balcony door with a tiny tray in her hand. Bring a cup of coffee and a packet of biscuits.
"What is this? Don't like to play with hot water" Evgen said softly.
"Yi Wen didn't play hot water, Yi Wen made coffee for Brother."
"How can you make coffee? Who taught you?"
"Eh." Yi Wen shook his head.
He took a biscuit and fed it to Evgen's lips.
"Mama always make coffee and deliver food to Papa, if Papa is having trouble."
Evgen smiled and pulled the little girl. Put the girl on her lap.
"Alright, feed me this biscuit," Evgen's pinta spoiled.
Yi Wen stuffed the biscuits into Evgen's mouth. Her lips smiled when she saw her sister eating the biscuits she was supposed to buy for herself.
"Sister."
"Hem."
"Did Brother's friend make Brother angry?" asked Yi Wen innocently.
"Yes, he made Brother very angry."
"What is done? Did he take the money, brother?"
"Yi Wen, do you believe that I snatched my friend's toy?" ask evgen gently.
"Hem, where is possible. Brother is a good brother. I can't believe Big Brother did that, tell me who said it? Yi Wen was about to hit the Big Brother's friend," Yi Wen replied furiously.
Evgen simply smiled and gently stroked Yi Wen's head.
"Did Brother's friend snatch Brother's toy?"
"It's not just toys, Yi Wen. But also my whole dream" replied Evgen bitterly.
"What's the toy you like best?"
"Not only do I like it, but it's also very important to me."
"Then take it back. When Nao snatched Yi Wen's toy. Yi Wen will definitely take it back. Even though Mama said Nao was Yi Wen's niece."
Evgen looked towards Yi Wen, although the girl only said a simple sentence, but it made him aware. What belongs to him should be his.
"Mom said, I am the Gugu. But I will not give anything that Nao snatched away from me. Because I am Guugu." (Mama said I was her aunt. But I won't give you anything that Nao took from me. Because I am Gughu).
Yi Wen smiled and wrapped her hands around Evgen's neck. Hugged his big brother's shoulder.
"Yes, because I'm Evgen. I won't let him go even if he goes to the door of hell" Evgen said.
