Akbar And Nessa

Page 8 - Akbar's Past

Nessa was surprised to see her brother sitting in front of her, she pursed her lips flat and stared dislikefully at Joseph. The girl put her phone on the table, and prepared a plate to eat immediately.

"Have not said much, I'm starving for so long waiting for you, you want your sister to die of hunger huh?".

Yusuf laughed at his brother's behavior which immediately turned sour when he saw it, the man received a plate offered by his sister.

"Don't overdo it, where there's an older brother who wants to see his sister starve to death." The man immediately put spoon by spoon into his mouth, he was really hungry like that.

Nessa just stared at her brother flat, the girl was no longer surprised by how the man ate, like a person who never ate alone, disgusting. Then he followed his brother to start eating his cooking.

"I'll stay in Jakarta, can I stay here with you? I'm watching you" Yusuf said, chewing his food.

As Nessa looked up at her sister, what was she saying? Settling? Staying with? Oh my..

"What business does it do to make you stay here? just find somewhere else, I don't want you to ruin my comfort here! And again, I'm not a child you have to watch" said the sister with her mouth still filled with food.

"Following in your footsteps to pit my fate in the capital, I will still be here, with or without your consent." Joseph replied by slitting his shoulders, not caring about Nessa's anger.

Nessa grunted her brother, and resumed eating while grumbling.

Actually for Nessa it does not matter if the brother decides to stay with her, only if the brother can be silent and not interfere in his affairs, but Yusuf is the type of brother who is very protective of his sister, he said, and the man always wanted to know about Nessa, especially if he knew his sister was being close to a man, he would definitely be overreacting to her.

Imagining what her sister was going to do made Nessa exhale. And it did not escape the sight of Joseph who had just finished his meal.

"Why are you complaining like that?" Yusuf said in a slightly high tone, making Nessa soar in shock.

"What's? Why surprise me? And again, I'm not complaining! Don't you fucking know!"

They continue to argue about small things, the changing atmosphere of Nessa's apartment is so contrasting compared to when Nessa only lives alone, feeling lonely and lonely. Even so, Joseph was a good sister to Nessa, the man was the one closest to her.

After they finished their meal with a small argument, Joseph helped Nessa clean the table, knowing that she had hitched a ride at the house of her sister.

"So you're starting work tomorrow?"

"Hemm, as one of the illustrators in a well-known publishing company."

Yusuf answered by stepping his feet towards the sofa in the living room.

"FR. Royal Fam Publisher?" nessa asked carefully and followed in her steps to return to her room.

"Kok know?" Reply Yusuf enthusiastically.

Nessa just sniffed her shoulders and just passed from Joseph's gaze towards her room.

"Basic brother is impolite!" Umpat Yusuf saw his brother just close the door of his room.

Akbar had just cleaned up after he arrived at home, he was a little fresher now, after a day struggling with the many jobs in the office earlier. The man also laid himself on his soft mattress, positioning himself as comfortable as possible to just let go of everything he was tired today. He thought of a rectangular object lying on the nightstand beside his sleeping lamp, turned on his screen and tried to type in a few sentences which he then sent to the girl who was a few days close to him.

^^^To :_NESSA^^^

^^^Hey, are you sleeping?^^^

Akbar hopes that the girl is still awake and replies to his message.

Drrt...

^^^From :_NESSA^^^

^^^^^^^

Akbar soared his lips, dissatisfied with the reply given by Nessa. He retyped a few sentences back to Nessa.

^^^To :_NESSA^^^

^^^Busy huh?^^^

Drrt..

^^^From :_NESSA^^^

^^^I was not busy kok Bar, just waiting for you to make your mastiin well to home^^^

The man pulled both corners of his lips to form an arch of a smile, and drowned his face on his army-colored pillow. Akbar felt his heart filled with butterflies flying, he felt both happy and embarrassed when reading a reply from Nessa.

The two continued to exchange messages until they both forgot that the night was getting late.

For some reason for Akbar, even though just exchanging messages with Nessa made him feel very happy, at once all the tired and tired that he had felt disappeared, only with the positive response given by the girl, the girl he had met a while ago, the girl he had just met accidentally.

Nessa, the girl had filled the space of Akbar's heart which he had long left empty and dusty, without Akbar noticing, the man had put his heart on the beautiful girl, it's just that Akbar is very slow to notice it or maybe he denies the feeling.

Akbar was very careful about falling in love, because he was still traumatized by the love of his past that had left so deep a wound, that he shut the door of his heart tightly, and left it empty for so long.

Long story short, Akbar a few years ago had a lover whom he loved very much, and also became his first love for her. The girl named Winda, the man liked the girl from the first time he saw her. The girl had a pretty face that looked so cold, but when she was with Akbar she was so warm. The two always seem happy, the mature Akbar and Vinda with their childish nature are so complementary. Until one day Winda had a great accident with his father, the girl was critical and his life was not helped, it made Akbar really hit, the girl just left without saying a word of farewell to him. Every day he went through the day empty, hoping that every time he woke up from his sleep there was a message coming from his lover, but all that was just a false hope, but all that was, which finally made Akbar so numb and closed the door of his heart.

But after meeting with Nessa, all felt different, Akbar again felt the vibrations in his heart that had long disappeared. Nessa who is so visible as it is makes Akbar want to know more about the girl, so that the man had unconsciously invited the girl to enter in the empty room of his heart.
