About Us 1 & 2

Evgen opened his door, took off his hat and dumped his body on the living room couch.

Dropped his head on the sofa sidetop, closing both of his tired eyes.

"Evgen, are you home, honey?" ask Megi who just came down from upstairs.

Evgen sighed and nodded.

"Park there, Mama prepare dinner for you," Megi ordered softly.

"Ma, Papa's home?"

"Already, Papa just finished taking a shower. Maybe it'll be downstairs soon."

Evgen nodded his head, running up the stairs towards his room.

At first glance, Shenina said that she did not want to move countries. He forgot, if Shenina couldn't possibly leave Indonesia because there was an orphanage that he still noticed.

Evgen ruffled his hair and passed to the bathroom. What's he supposed to do?

If he comes back, then the career he fought for all this time will just disappear.

All the effort and hard work. Especially a grudge that has not been fully avenged, will be released in the grasp.

Evgen pulled out his phone, dialed his girlfriend's number. After a while, the call was connected.

"Assalamualaikum," said Shenina softly.

"Waalaikum greetings, where are you?"

"Hem, still at Seta's house. Why?"

"Lu again what?"

"Just finished cooking dinner, why?"

Evgen sighed and ruffled his wet hair. How will he explain it? He was afraid that Shenina would be angry and offended.

"Shen, I, I-I-"

"Why? Do you want to make sure I move after marriage?" break up Shenina directly.

"How do you know?"

"Evgen, haven't we already discussed this matter? Is it not clear yet?"

"It's not like that Shen. But I, I-I-"

"Gue can't leave Indonesia, Evgen. I want to come back to London, but I don't want to move citizens. There's my sister here, even though I'm married, I can't just leave her. There are other parlors too. Evgen, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't."

"Shen, my career, my name, my job, everything is there, how can I leave it all?" ask Evgen softly.

"Evgen, your family's all here. Why do you still want to go there? If it's just a career and a job. Do not be afraid, Allah will give you another sustenance. Don't worry Evgen, if you're back here because of God. Surely God will return whatever He has entrusted you with."

Evgen curled his breath and rubbed his face violently. Somehow explaining it, Shenina was still as harsh as ever.

Evgen averted his gaze as a knocking sound rang out from behind the door of his room.

"Sister Evgen, Mama said dinner's ready!" niki shouted from behind the door.

"I'll come down later, you guys go first."

"Hem, alright," replied Niki gently.

"Evgen, you eat first. We will discuss this again when we meet. But I still don't want to move on Evgen. Because ... Both my parents' graves are here. I won't leave anything, understand" said Shenina softly.

For a moment Evgen was silent, he could only sigh back. It turned out that uniting the two opinions was not as easy as his mind had been all along.

"Shen, I'll turn it off."

"Alright, Assalamualaikum," Shenina broke up instantly.

"Waalaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatu," said Evgen.

Evgen slammed his phone into the bed, dropping his body. He was confused, if it had to be this way he did not know which one to choose?

Shenina and her career, are two things she can't possibly leave behind. Both are equally important, the biggest dreams of his life.

But the laws of the world go as they are. We should be able to let go of one, if we want to get the other.

Evgen pulled one of the chairs on the dining table. He saw all his family members gathered at the dinner table.

Slowly Evgen started scooping his rice, noticing Sean who was busy eating with his only daughter.

"Pa," call Evgen soft.

"Yes." Yeah."

"I've decided to go back to London in two weeks" Evgen said softly.

Sean just nodded his head. He was busy with the little girl in his lap.

"And I have also decided to return to Indonesia after the contract there is completed," continued Evgen softly.

"really?" ask Megi happy.

"Good then, Papa will set up a branch company for you to run."

"No need, Pa. I'm going to start my own business" Evgen explained gently.

"Hem, Papa support you," Sean replied encouragingly.

"And there's one more thing I want to say," Evgen said.

"Say."

Evgen sighed and cast his gaze towards Sean and Megi, taking turns.

"I'm getting married."

Prah ....

Niki spouted food in her mouth, while the others simply looked at Evgen with a half-dead shocked expression.

A moment of the dining room that had been noisy was now silent for a moment. They were still digesting Evgen's words so suddenly.

Evgen's eyes focused on Yi Wen, his face turning sad instantly. He knew his beloved sister was angry with him.

Slowly Yi Wen got up from his seat and ran up the steps of the mansion.

"Yi Wen!" call Evgen soft.

The little girl kept running, closing the door of her room by slamming hard.

"Evgen, are you seriously getting married?" ask Sean not to believe it.

"Yes, Pa. And if I could, I'd marry him before I go back to London."

"Who's the guy?" ask Megi confused.

"I'll bring the woman tomorrow, and Mama and Papa disguise her for me" Evgen said softly.

"What is that girl Shenina?" ask Rezi curiously.

"Ehm," Evgen replied nodding.

Rezi let go of his smile and patted Evgen softly on the shoulder.

"Sister's happy for you, Deck."

"Huh, it's still the same girl huh. Evgen, why is your taste so bad?" ask Sean mocked.

"I mean Papa?" ask Evgen coldly.

"Seven years in London, are London girls already at an end huh? Still like the same girl," ledek Sean back.

"Good dong, means Evgen is faithful. And she really was like Big Brother," Megi replied softly.

"As I how? I'm not as bad as him, Megi. Running away just out of love" replied Sean lazily.

"Father!" press Evgen to remove.

"Allow what Papa said? hem?" ask Sean happy.

"Come, Pa. What am I talking about right now?" evgen asked, starting to growl.

Sean smiled and shook his head. Apparently there is still a childish side that is still left on his son.

"Yes, okay. Bring the girl here, Papa will disguise her for you."

Evgen nodded his head and gulped down the contents of the glass next to his plate.

"Then I go up first, I want to see Yi Wen in her room."

Evgen left the dining room just like that, following his sister's steps into the room.

Evgen knocked on the door leaf gently, opening it slowly.

A little girl was sitting on her bed with her face bent tight.

"Hi, my beloved Yi Wen. You mad?" evgen asked closer to the little girl.

"Sister lied, Big Brother said a lifetime would only love a Wen'er. Brother will not marry another woman, so why suddenly want to get married?" asked Wen'er ketus.

Evgen smiled gently and stroked the tip of his sister's head. Wen'er threw Evgen's hand and hid his body in the bed.

"Go, Wen'er won't look at Evgen's sister."

"Yi Wen, listen to me-"

"Go!" shouted Wen'er.

"Yi Wen, listen to me first-"

"I said go!" Wen'er threw her pillow towards Evgen.

Put her body under the blanket. Evgen sighed, reaching for the corner of his forehead that felt faint.

Not grown up or a kid. Why is a woman so hard to deal with?
