Between Me and Brother

chapter 6

Time Should I?

Tonight covers Jakarta City, I am always happy to be here. Already maghrib was still crowded with various small children who ran around, mothers hanging out in front of their homes and young people who walked around.

Me, brother Tery and Abi just got home on foot 500 km from the highway, because in front of our house can only be passed by one way car only. We had to continue on foot.

"Oh iyo, how come Ireng ora color bags in gowo?" Tanya Brother Tery makes me think for a moment.

"I'm ango Om Jaya, moso in gowo meneh, Ma'am!" Abi said as he looked ahead, focusing on his path.

"Loh! Isine opo toh. Yen ora wrong kui koyone bi letters." Continue Brother Tery.

The two of them walked while chatting. Whereas I was just looking around at the people around who were all the way looking at us questioningly. However, I only returned a sweet smile to those who viewed us as strangers.

Right, besides the new neighbors. They may be wondering about our arrival. Therefore I can only encode with a smile which means greeting them indirectly.

After arriving at the front of the house, I saw Umi who was busy sweeping on the porch of the house. It looked like that tired and gloomy face. I felt guilty for leaving Umi alone at home and getting all our stuff done.

I immediately ran to Umi who was still sweeping with her focused eyes.

"Umi," Shouted Umi made her search for the source of my voice.

"Eh, adek wes balek. Thank goodness" said Umi.

"Come on, sorry yo mi. Adek ora iso help Umi finish omah iki" I said as I reached for Umi's hand to greet.

Brother Tery smiled and did the same with me and apologized to Umi for leaving him alone.

Umi smiled and confirmed our apology, we finally entered the house together. When the door was opened, the rented house was filled to the brim like an inhabited house.

There are some new items such as TV, cabinets, sofa, dining table, refrigerator and various other obstacles. Everything was complete, I smiled and looked at my room and Brother Tery's.

The room was also filled with study tables, wardrobes, and soft mattresses. Brother Tery immediately charged in and pried on the bed.

"Yey! Finally there is a soft mattress as well" said Kak Tery while sitting in a corner.

"Weleh, brag-bok Indonesian, mbak Tery, mbak Tery" I just shook my head while grabbing the chair in our room.

I also sat down and smiled to myself, I still imagined the time at Om Jaya's house. It feels like having a new relative who suddenly comes like round tofu. Thought.

"Cie! Adek ngguyu-guyu dwek. Hehehe, ono opo anyway?" Ledek Kak Tery suddenly disperse all my shadows in the house of Om Jaya.

"Opo seh Mbak" I said blushing.

Brother Tery approached and sat shifting towards me, he grabbed my shoulder while whispering something in my ear.

"Dec, koe esih inget po ora karo arekke Om Jaya seng jenenge Indra?" Tanya Brother Tery whispered to me.

I immediately changed my expression and felt stiff in my chest, feeling like I had something hard to say. I suddenly felt awkward and wanted to avoid the question.

Then, when I came out of the room. Suddenly Abi and Umi called me who wanted to walk to the bathroom to clean up.

"Gluck! Mrene," Abi said as she waved her hand.

"Come, ono opo bi, umi." I said a little nervously, and walked over to them. Without hesitation, I immediately sat down on the new sofa close to Umi.

"Piye what do you think of Om Jaya?" Abi asked directly at me.

"Well!" One word that came out, with an awkward face on my face immediately flushed red. I was so nervous and nervous at hand.

"Jawab wae, deck." Umi said it confused me to convey it.

For some reason, my heart was a little agitated at their question. And I don't know what that means. I felt that I was proposed indirectly by both sides of the family.

"Abi takon koyo ngono, because Abi wants to jodohken Mbakmu karo one of Om Jaya's arekke." Abi Say.

The deg! Suddenly my heart felt like something was slashing with a thousand knives in this heart. For some reason, it is precisely I feel jealous to hear Abi say that Brother Tery is the one they want to match, not Me.

I understand, maybe because Brother Tery is older than me. But why should it be among his sons Om Jaya? Aren't they just a year from him.

My facial reflex was immediately gloomy to hear that Kak Tery will be betrothed by his son Om Jaya, and the possibility that Abi brought in his bag is CV Ta'Aruf Kak Tery.

It can be said also, that Abi meant Mas Indra. It is impossible if the one who wants to propose to Tery's brother is the Son.

"Sorry Abi, umi. Adek tired, adek pan rest aja. Yen about koyo kui, Abi press wae Mbak Teryne. Luih explained" I said as I got up from my seat and walked over to the bathroom and took some ablution water.

They were just stupefied looking at me with purpose. I can only escape from questions I shouldn't have heard.

I immediately closed the bathroom door so tightly that I did not feel like listening to something that made my precious tears fall for nothing.

I was silent for a moment, heard a rainwater whirl on the roof of the precarious who wanted to water tonight with the cold air. It felt like the sky wanted to accompany me to cry bitterly in this heart.

Why should I, as for the assessment of the couple Brother Tery.

I was thinking too much so that it made this chest hurt by itself, as well as the throat like choking instantly.

I don't like this feeling, just once I feel like someone. However, the pain was like being pierced by a needle that attacked simultaneously.

Indirectly I can no longer contain all these flavors by holding back tears that have ended in the eyelids.

I cried with restraint so as not to be heard by them, I was just afraid that this feeling would cause slander that is not desired by Allah. I was disappointed in myself, and felt guilty to Allah SWT. Who forgot his creation.

I immersed myself with this feeling in the bathroom, after this feeling improved, then I continued my bath as well as taking the water of ablution.

15 Minutes passed I was in the bathroom. I also came out with a sense that had really improved. I walked towards the room while looking in the living room, it turned out that Abi and Umi had entered the room earlier.

While staring at Umi's room, I rushed into my room with a nervous run. I saw Brother Tery who was busy reading the book Novel, finally I feel relieved also with the unconscious Brother Tery who looked at me even for a moment.
