As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon

Episode 27's. The Life of Mirza

Eleven o'clock past ten minutes. I stepped up to follow Mr. Dirman into a grand, modern classic-style mansion. There was a pounding I felt all over my soul as I felt the atmosphere of the house. I was half surprised at the welcome. Mama Melissa stood up to meet my presence. And a hug I gladly received. Even so, it was clear that there was concern at the end of his heart that he was trying to hide. "How are you, ma...? I said with a smile. "Well, baby." replied Mama Mellisa with her trademark smile.

"Come in.your Mirza brother has been waiting for you since then" said bang David who just came out of the room.

Deg.

"What's wrong with Mirza's sister, bang..?" my many. Increasing my curiosity when staring at the face of bang David. "Sister Mirza you're okay. But I'm sure he needs you" said bang David with his trademark smile. The man who was once my hope was so handsome and did not change in the slightest towards me. Stay kind, caring and attentive. Then with a quick little step I headed to the room where sister Mirza was with the direction of bang David.

I was even more shocked when I saw Mirza's sister lying down. Half-run I approached him. Looked at him full of question marks. "Hey, honey... Come closer" said Mirza, extending a hand. I welcomed her hand and approached her and sat down on a chair by her bed. "What's up, brother...Why are you hurt like this" I said worriedly. "I'm fine. I just need to rest" he said with a sigh. "Come here." said Mirza. His hand patted the side of his bed close to him. I stared doubtfully at the place he had indicated. "Remain assured, I won't mess around, dear." he said as if capturing the meaning of doubt at the end of my heart.

I doubt a little bit of what I want. Not really sitting down, sister Mirza has laid her head on my lap. "Marry me so that we can be happy with each other like this" he said, clasping my fingers. "Yes, but not today, right?" I said with a smile.

"Yes, my brother has not answered my question about the cause of my brother's condition now." I said again. "This is my brother." he said, which surprised me. "That David...?!" my spoken. "No. But my other brother...I still have two more brothers. We are different mothers" explained sister Mirza. I was half in disbelief.

The Mirza Flashback On

I ran into the house just after I found out there were Roy and Evans. Brother of one father different mother. With the habits of both, I was so worried about my mother. And it's true. Arriving in the room, I saw my mother sobbing with Roy and Evans' brother who was not far from her. "What are you doing here?" I said sniffling while pulling Roy's collar. "Wow.wow. Patience Mirza. I'm your brother" he said. "Sister? Since when did you acknowledge our familial relationship...!" I said in a fire full of anger. Roy's laugh showed me his teeth. "Better you go.. Now!" say again. "I'm just gonna stay here. As long as I don't find the person I'm looking for" he said. "Fuckers.." I said as I netted a punch. Roy is not his name if he can not serve my moves. The figure of the businessman who had long been unfortunate transversed in the gray world. It is also what makes us cross.

Either I want Roy's brother has both felt pain due to a blow that hit the body. Not just one but a few hits. To this day, none of us has given up. "That's enough....!" said mama loudly. And that one word has managed to make me and brother Roy stop and immediately set the distance. "Listen Roy, I'm your mama too. So my mom wants to appreciate my mom" said my mom. "Mirza started it. Roy was just defending himself" said brother Roy as he wiped the blood that was dripping at the tip of his lips.

"Thank you for being there for Mama. But there is no need to fight jotos like this. You are also the one who lost" said Mama while wiping the tip of my lips which also dripped blood. "If it has to do with both, my blood always boils" I said, throwing my body on the sofa in my mother's room. "Is there a storm...?" bang David suddenly. "Telat.telat" I said irritatedly while throwing a sofa pillow. Especially when you see a thin smile on his lips, then my irritation increases.

Mirza Flashback off

I heard the words of Mirza. "The other brother." I muttered.

My mind wandered far away somewhere. "Hey.." said brother Mirza disperse my daydream. "My brother lives in another city. We were never together. Because of his attitude and habits, he chose not to heed them. Moreover, the two sometimes do ash work. It is also what makes papa leave this world" said Mirza. "Well, my sister's life is also full of surprises apparently" I said with a faint smile looking at her. "Haha... Fara" he said as he got up and headed for the balcony.

At one o'clock in the afternoon. I went down the stairs pretty snaking. My goal is the kitchen. And my eyes immediately swept across the kitchen room looking for the mineral water that is my current need. "Non Fara's....Find what?" said Bi Inah. "Bi mineral water.." I said with a smile. "Life..kok didn't just call me earlier, non?" he said again while taking mineral water from the refrigerator. "It's okay, Bi.." I said as I sat down and sipped some mineral water. "What's beautiful Miss Fara doing here?" ask a voice that makes me immediately turn my eyes to the source of the sound. "Sister Evans." I said half-surprised to find out the owner of the voice. "The world is narrow, yes, Fara. The proof is that we meet again here" he said, chuckling. I just smiled thinly. "Hey..my question you haven't answered. Why is it here...?" he said while sitting next to me. "He's my fiancee. My wife-to-be." said Mirza, who was standing behind me. "Ho.ho. Turns out this beautiful miss is your fiance Mirza? May also be your taste" said brother Evans while laughing and striking the end of my chin. Of course, that surprised me. Especially with Mirza. His face instantly hardened with clenched hands. "You....!" said Mirza while pulling Evans' collar. "Wow..Patience is Mr. Mirza. I just held the end of his chin. I'm not going to mess around" Evans said with a cynical smile. While both of his hands seemed to hold Mirza's hand.

"What's this...?" said my mother who stood on the stairs. "This mama's son is very grumpy" said Evans while tidying up his clothes after escaping from the clutches of Mirza's sister. "Remember Evans, mama allows you here does not mean you always have to fuss with other mama's children" said mama. "Sorry.." said Evans just before he passed and threw a smile at me. "You know Evans...?" ask Mirza to investigate. Asked that I became angry. "Hm, not really. We only met at school at graduation. And.once again in the store. He talked to my dad" I said, remembering. "Store with dad...?" said brother Mirza. "Yes. From the second conversation, Fara heard that they were coworkers first" I said. "Worker...? Meaning the two had once worked for lord Darius?' said Mirza's sister whom I replied with a nod of the head. "Then...What does he mean by coming to this city? What does this have to do with Mr Darius?" ask Mirza again. "If you want to investigate, you ask slowly and carefully. However, Evans is also a big sister" said the mother who was greeted by a nod by sister Mirza.

Three o'clock in ten minutes. I was standing in the yard waiting for Mirza's sister to take me home. Oops. There's a lot of questions that Mirza's sister keeps for dad right now. "Beautiful.." said a voice I believe to be Evans's. And sure enough he was standing in the doorway not far from where I was standing. My God. His gaze made me shudder and throw my gaze elsewhere. "Evans....!" said Melissa's mother who suddenly appeared from behind Evans' back. "Hehe..mama. Just exclaim, Ma teased the prospective sister-in-law" Evans said with a smile. "Besides Mirza, mama will also have to wait from Roy" said Evans. "Yes." said Mama while sitting on a chair on the porch. "But baby, the bride-to-be ran away." Evans said with a small laugh. "Ah, that's a long time ago. Why doesn't Roy just go back with his wife?" say mama. "Sister Roy doesn't love him. And now he loves another woman. A much different woman. A woman who can change her, Ma.." Evans said. "I mean...?" said my mother who immediately stopped reading. "Sister Roy was willing to leave his gray world. And now he's looking for the woman who left" Evans said half a whisper. "Can be bucin also tuh people." said mama as if not believe. "Evans is tired too, Ma. Evans also wants to live a normal life. That's why Evans came here to see mom. Actually Evans wanted to admit one thing to mom, that Mama was right, Evans was wrong" said Evans who stared at his mother incessantly. "Ga's kidding, right...?' say mama. "Or are you sick again? Or run out of it...?" say mama. "Evans is serious, ma'am." Evans said again. "Don't be easy to believe, Ma. Once a crocodile remains a crocodile" said Mirza who stood in the doorway. "You know what you are, Mirza." Evans said. "Don't start again dech." said the mother as she hit Evans in the head with the magazine she was holding. "Jeez, Mama." said Evans, wiping his head.

Shortly after, Mirza's silver sports car drove away from the magnificent home page. The speed is also. My eyes stared at the trees that seemed to be chasing and looked wet through the car window. Apparently the rain had just greeted the earth for a while. "Evans are fiercely lost if faced with mama" I said. "That's Evans. Verily he is only a spoiled figure who thirsts for affection. You know, we were both really like brothers. Although different mother but papa always brought us closer as brothers. But over time Evans became changed. Especially because of the influence and incitement of brother Roy and mama Melinda" said Mirza. "And brother Roy, he's the source of all trouble. His malice seemed to be a source of his strength to do everything in order to get papa's full attention. And it worked. All assets owned by papa he managed to master. Just the house we live in right now and deposit some M's that papa gave to us three mama Melissa, me and bang David. And with the money that exists has managed to support us, making David bang into a doctor and building a hospital" said Kak Mirza who remained focused on the streets. "Mama also managed to open culinary and boutique businesses to sustain our lives from the legacy money. While mama Melinda, brother Roy and Evans are boasting. Not only the company that was successfully taken over, but also villas in several places whose value was MM. Also three other luxury homes managed to switch to mama Melinda" said sister Mirza. "We can't talk much, because it's papa's lawful decision. And again at that time we were more focused on the health of papa who was declining after having an accident" said Mirza again. This time both eyes were almost wet with a clear grain that was hanging and ready to plunge it.

"Sister.patience yes. Surely from all the events there is a silver lining" I said with a smile and rubbed his arm. "Yes, his wisdom met you...Come donk marry me" said Mirza.
