Between Me and Brother

chapter 16

"How now?"

I said as I walked into the room. Willy immediately stopped his steps and turned around to look at me in wonder.

"How now?"

I said, while they were still silent, I would repeat the word whenever they wanted to avoid it. I need a real explanation.

"Mery!"

Shouted a santri as far as the eye could see I was staring at him in the middle of the field, he ran so fast to get to me.

Taps! Taps! Taps! The sound of feet stepping after He came, in front of me. With a breath of breath he still had time to talk to me.

"What's up?." I said

"You're flashing there" Sembari pointed to the main gate of Pondok Darussalam.

He silently remained silent as he stared at the open gate and one or two black cars began to enter. There are also several Ustad and Ustadzah who welcome the arrival of the car.

I glanced at the santri and I also wondered why he knew my name. And I knew him not at all.

Willy put on an expressionless face as I looked, there were no Princesses and Lela because they were on a rote with Ustadzah.

Even I'm almost confused, there's no such car at all related to me. Why is this santri running so hard calling my name and telling me to take a look?

Willy approached the santri, maybe he knew. He approached while patting his back who was sitting on the floor regulating his breathing.

"Del, what are you calling Mery? How do you know Mery." Willy said as he squatted.

"How could I not know him. He's very popular at Will's lodge." He said pointing his finger at me.

Huh! How could? I thought in my heart. I was shocked to hear the answer, since when did I become popular. Even I haven't been here for an entire month, how is it possible.

"Whatchu mean? Popular what." Willy was confused.

"Will, you don't hear the news at the cottage here. He had secretly met Indra this morning. Until finally Indra was summoned to Ustad and will be issued he said, because it had violated the rules in Pondok Darussalam. Now her parents will pick her up. It's all because of you Mer." Clearly Willy's friend was irritated and ambitious and pointed a finger at me.

I was immediately stunned, silent while hearing again in my brain because of his words just now. Why could it be like this, when I was with him not a single word was spoken.

It's impossible, I'm with him there's nothing to do. Why can it be like this? Thought.

"Dela, that's impossible. Mery was in the room this morning. We even had a good-bye with Ara before she came home." Bela Willy told me to make sure I didn't see him in the morning.

"Seriously you Will? Ara's coming home? Is he okay! Not like 2 years ago, right?" Dela said probing.

"What did 2 years ago mean Will?" I asked Willy, he immediately put on a confused and anxious face.

Dela looked at me confused as well, maybe she also thought that I did not know about Ara's problem, especially with Lela.

Suddenly Putri came with some juice drinks. He also looked at the three of us, quickly walked the Princess to arrive in front of us.

Not even long after, lela came with a parcel of food. I don't know where they get food like that.

Willy immediately left the place and went with Lela, dela was still in place it seemed he was confused to come with who was between Willy and I.

Arriving at the front door of the meeting room, the princess smiled at me and said "Come in!" While pushing me inside.

I was shocked, and immediately felt uneasy due to the encouragement from the Princess. When I turned my face, it turned out that there was Abi and Om Jaya. Ma Shaa Allah. My heart immediately beat like running from end to end.

Suddenly Om Jaya looked at me with a slight smile. I was confused, even completely confused back then, even awkwardly I felt.

I wasn't ready to meet them, even though I was ashamed and missed Abi.

I immediately turned around to get out and just arrived "Brakk!" I hit someone who wanted to go inside. I thought Ustad or Ustadzah, but it turns out.

It turned out to be Brother Tery and Mas Indra. Huh! Just be right. I watched the two of them together. I have tried so hard to avoid something like this.

However, without me expecting such an event to happen was beyond my comprehension. It hurts so much when I see them. But have a sense of happiness when I see Brother Tery who I miss.

"Mery, let's go in first" said Om Jaya. He led me in and sat with him.

"So how? Will Mery's son be picked up home, or will he stay at the cottage, sir?." Ustad said, glancing at me.

"Come home?" I said just say it.

They suddenly looked at me sharply. This plan I don't understand at all makes me confused. I wanted to cry, because I had absolutely no meaning.

Any talk I don't know, even what they mean by the word "Go home" I don't understand it at all. They were so afraid to understand. There is but not considered, as the wind passes by. That's how I'm.

"I want to keep him in the cottage!" Indra looked at me expectantly which I did not understand at all.

I just keep quiet while listening to whatever they say, I'll listen to it. If I go home it's no use, and suppose I stay here. So my life was filled with memorization and friendship.

"Okay, then. Mery's gonna stay here, but once you're married, Mery's gonna have to go home. So that he can also see the happiness of you and our family." Obviously Abi smiled and rubbed my head.

"Abi, why don't you ask me first with the Merynya Deck. He wants to go home." Brother Tery's proposal to Abi.

"Oh, that's right, so how's the deck?" Abi asked looking at me.

I shuddered in my hands, wanting to say no while hitting the sofa I was sitting on. But that's not me. They'd be surprised to find out I'm like that.

Finally I hinted in a way to shake my head while biting the lips that almost dried because since morning has not drank a single bit.

Brother Tery walked up to me and looked me in the eye, but I avoided his gaze.

"Why deck?" Ask Brother Tery to feel sad.

I tried to smile in front of them, the real pain because the person I like is getting married to my own brother. And that feeling goes beyond heartbreak.

"I'm not papa. I go to my room first. Abi, Om Mery told me first. Assalamu'alaikum!" I ended the conversation from them.

I immediately stood up and almost my tears spilled as I glanced briefly at Mas Indra. He frowned as if he felt what I felt. I just pray for them, may they be happy forever.
