Between Me and Brother

chapter 23

#In Pak Tono's travel car.

After arguing about having a car with Anton, which always pisses me off with him. Now he sits beside me and the distance between us is limited by the suitcase he carries.

"Surge! Don't let my suitcase hit, my suitcase becomes your rich geeky" he said threateningly.

I just shook my head. He's a guy, but his behavior is the same as girls who don't want their toys touched by others.

What is she thinking I am? Rubbish thing! O Allah. There can be a guy like him. Fortunately only one, try more than that. People around him will die stiff later.

I thought long about him until I was unconscious that I had mocked him in my heart. My lips trembled so much to hold back the laughter that I could no longer dull.

"Haha, funny!" I said while patting the seat in front.

Anton immediately looked at me with annoyance, he was confused as if. Why I laughed so suddenly. His face instantly changed, changing expressionlessly. I also started to stop laughing.

"What?" Ask wonder.

"Beautiful to you if you laugh richly" he said grinning.

Whahuh? What do you say, I am beautiful? Since when did he praise me. I immediately fell silent with that ridiculous answer. My cheeks felt tense and it felt like I really wanted to explode. It's impossible if my cheeks turn red because of that stray cat.

Anton looks very handsome, he looks like a very popular actor. Bright face, white skin, hair that is in style now and also high. Perfect! It's just that his attitude makes me sick of admiring him.

While in the car he was quieter before, maybe he was better in the car than outside. It's like a wild cat.

Suddenly my drowsiness came in the middle of the journey, and lastly I remember once that I was a drunk on long journeys. From Tanggerang to Jakarta it takes 2/3 hours.

And finally, the time has only been an hour. I could no longer hold my narrow eyes open. Unknowingly I was leaning into my head in his suitcase.

"Hey, hey, hey. Who told you to rent in my suitcase?" His screams startled me to wake up.

"I'm sorry, but I'm so sleepy" I said, rubbing my eyes.

She just looked at me while hugging her suitcase. I don't know what's in that suitcase, like it contains billions of gold.

My body feels limp and dizzy, maybe this is a sign that I'm going to get drunk again. Well, I hope it doesn't repeat like the first time to Jakarta.

Here there is no Abi with Umi, this travel car only has Me, Mr. Tono, Anton and Ustadzah only. They don't understand me yet about long-distance travel drunkenness.

And in addition, the Toll road is jammed because there is a repair on the left. It's hard for me to believe. I'm not strong with the smell of this Pak Tono car, it smells bad.

Ustadzah then looked at me from the front, he put his anxious face towards me. Already got a place so narrow and add another suitcase Anton there are 3. Even my stuff doesn't fit in the trunk.

"Mery, aren't you papa?" Ask Ustadzah.

"Oh Umi, afwan. Mery felt nauseous. Actually ana doesn't really like the smell of cars like this." I said while complaining about holding my chest.

"That's the reason, it's just this." Anton said a little.

"Hey boy. Gentle courtesy dong same old man." Said Mr. Tono.

"That's it. Mery better have you sitting in front. And Umi will move to the back with Anton. Anton can!" Ustadzah smiled at him, but there were no words.

I was fed up with his behavior, I turned to Anton and patted him on the shoulder very hard.

Puk!

"Nough cake, yes cake, no cake. Answer dong. Mute yeah?" I said getting upset.

"What the?" Anton pretended not to hear what Ustadzah had just said. He pretended to be stupid in front of me.

The afternoon air was fresh, I was a little treated by getting out of the car for a while. Ustadzah came out, we exchanged places during the trip on a very jammed toll.

*Suddenly ringing phone Ustadzah sound.

The crane! Krining.. Cring, kriningg..

Not long Ustadzah immediately took his cellphone in the right pocket.

"Hello, assalamualaikum. Oh well, thanks for the info" Ustadzah said on the phone.

I was still sitting quietly in front with Mr. Tono. The vision in front was quite wide. Even I can lean my body in the seat, then I can stare at this jammed toll road trip full of four-wheeled vehicles, there is also more like a truck.

I looked back to see the arrogant Anton, the stray cat who never knew manners.

"Gdpa!" The sound of laughter.

"What Loh, lyrics. I like to say!" Anton turned his head towards me in a speechless tone as if he had no shame.

"Dwelling, amit-amit. Don't be with me fooling your rich man." I said mockingly.

Instantly the heat of the blazing flames on Anton's head seemed to start to explode. He immediately threw a pencil at me, which came out of nowhere.

Ustadzah just shook his head that saw us always fighting with him every time we met. Mr. Tono also just smiled and grinned at the moment to see our behavior.

The age that should be ripe for work then a career, but I just want to continue my education in Pondok Darussalam.

If next month I have graduated, then I will be serious about finding money and helping Abi who has been supporting us all this time.

***

Finally, after a long journey, we arrived at the home of this wild cat. Well, who else if not Concrete, uh Anton.

After the car window opened, I stared at Anton's enormous home. The first time I also saw the fountain in front of the yard of the house as well as a very large flower garden next to his house.

Really I thought this was the Presidential Palace. It turned out to be a very nice Anton house and very elegant to look at. I can only bite my lips, why would a person like him want to live in a cottage? It is full of rules and memorization of the Qur'an.

The car stops at Anton's doorstep, suddenly all the male and female servants line up in front of the car door. I don't understand what that means.

Mr. Tono got out of the car and ran towards the door close to where Anton was sitting.

"Come on!" Said Mr. Tono smiling.

Anton with a cold and arrogant nature immediately pulled out of the car and greeted by several servants. Justjust wonderful.

"Welcome back young master!" Said the waiter simultaneously welcoming him with great respect. Who is Anton?

I was immediately stunned to see the behavior of Anton who was always ignorant with me, now he looks mature in front of his servant. Mr. Tono immediately entered the car and began to set gas his car.

"Umi, who is Anton?" I asked to look directly back.

"Anton is the only heir and future heir to the kingdom in England. He had just come to Indonesia because there was an assignment from his father. Anton was 22 years old, but his intelligence and genius always made the girls beside him want to chase after him." Obviously Ustadzah smiled.

Whats? Royal candidate in England and I don't recognize him at all. It is fitting that Ustadzah did not dare to criticize Anton when his attitude was impolite.

"Then, what purpose did he go to the cottage?" I'm still very curious.

Ustadzah just smiled answering my question and just looked at me with his gentle gaze. I'm really curious about him. But I salute him a little, he's not at all bragging about the truth.
