Between Me and Brother

Season 2, chapter 70

Mery forgets that at home there is still one more life sleeping in his room, mery is engrossed in chatting with abi and umi as well as with adelia. They told me about Adelia who was always ignorant while helping her tantamount cook, play or sleep.

"Oh yes, grandma. In aunt's room there's a guy!" adelia smiled

The deg!

"What's? Mery what are you doing, son? Don't you just like anton? How can you put a man in our house? This can't be allowed!" Abi's sigh immediately rose from his seat. His face was red.

"Bi, abi ... Abi calm down first. It's not like that Bi, Mery will explain everything!" press mery to hold abi who is emotional.

"Bi, try sitting down first. There was a misunderstanding. Adelia is a child ... Maybe she only knew that she was a man who was not right" she said, calming her husband.

"Try to explain, who's the man in your room?" abi snaps with a cold look.

"Okay, abi patient dong. So gini, abi know was mery's friend who was a child when mery school sd with kak tery? He's dev, abi. Mery's friend and our neighbor's son. The demo man's son!" mery was relaxed and smiling.

As soon as Abi began to subside his anger, he no longer looked like the person who would actually drive away someone he knew. Umi smiled as if to signal "That's right, mery won't do anything beyond her restrictions." Abi smiled and laughed at the embarrassment in himself. Mery also laughed a little, the abi's expression was so strange to see when he was angry.

"So? How the... Does abi keep expelling dev or ..." mery sneers smiling seductively.

"Yes, kid. He was the proud son of our village. Masa abi ngusir. Hahaha" abi's laughter broke out, while umi and adelia followed the abi's teasing with regret earlier. Adelia even showed off her grandfather when she was angry.

"Grandfather's face doesn't fit in anger, hahaha. There is gout grandfather recovered later if hit penge.." said adelia cut off, her lips dibukam by mery.

"What? How are you being held?" ask umi.

"Hehe, so gini mi. Pas dev dateng adelia open the door. But Adelia asked for the same money as rice. Mery thought it was possible for the beggar who used to pass by it. Uh it turns out to be dev," said Mery a little shy to explain to his parents.

"Huh? Really am! Oh, my God, my smart grandson! Hahaha" abi's laughter scoffed back.

"Adelia, naughty. Hahaha" Umi's goda broke out laughing filled the room tsrcai.

Dev who could not bear to hear their laughter again had disrupted his deep sleep. Dev opened his eyes, listening to the sounds of various sounds from the living room. Is that Bude same sirde? Dev murmured in the heart. Dev finally tried to get off the bed and change his polite clothes. Dev knows very well how Mery's parents do not like men with a trendy look in this day and age. Therefore, dev has been preparing since the beginning. Wearing loose pants and plain clothes. Dev faced the glass looking at the appearance of his checkered stomach and large muscles looking strong on his arms. Dev did not care at first because he had to show his strength. However, for the sake of not being insinuated by soft children by abi finally dev decided to adjust the criteria abi likes. After finishing changing clothes, dev walked open the door leaf of the room mery.

"Bude, sir ... How are you?" sata dev smiled. Adelia immediately gaped at Dev who looked so handsome and neat. Mery looked at Dev with a smile, because dev was always looking for attention with his parents.

"Oh my God, Bi. His son's a handsome demo tenan yo!" exclaiming umi immediately rose from her seat and approached the dev who was standing in front of them.

"Demo, demo. Have a child do not be handsome gini why well, bother affair iki," said abi smiling. Closer to dev and embrace him.

"Hahaha Pakde iso. How's kabare pakde, bude?" dev asked smiling

"Alhamdulillah. Uh, how are you doing with your pakle? Already grown mustache yet?" tanya abi invites joking with dev, dev replies with his laughter.

"Haha, sir, look there. It's still pretty for my package."

Mery felt very happy to see a scene like this, feeling back home in his old world. Where the abi often mocked dev if wearing color pants but his clothes look market thugs. Tery was ditching najai with dev, just for the sake of picking up our neighbor's young mango. It was an unforgettable memory. Looking at the past full of beauty.

"Oh yeah, bude! May I not take me for a walk" said dev staring at Umi with a smiling face.

Umi and abi while meeting each other face to face with a happy face with smiling lips. They then nodded simultaneously indicating that they allowed dev to take him for a walk. Maybe dev already knows the problem, therefore he wants to invite mery to meet something new.

"Aunty, my aunt can come, right?" adelia immediately pulled the hijab mery. Then mery glanced towards dev, but the response that mery can is dev pretended not to hear adelia's request. Adelia gets upset she gets off the couch then pulls the dev t-shirt forcing her to answer 'Yes'.

Dev could not keep quiet and finally he gave up and immediately said that Adelia can come with him. Adelia immediately prancing pleasure, laughter also broke seeing dev and adelia always did not get along.

"Odev, you'll carry me on! Don't let me tell you. Mom and dad will be sad come on me!" scream adelia to dev.

"Cock Odev?" mery asked briefly.

"Eitherway. The boy is always troublesome, no, but he ends up coming too." Dev's complaint felt very helpless when he heard various screams from Adelia because it was good to be able to go for a walk with them both.

"Yes, just be patient. Count on you learning to be like a father!" mery scoffed.

"Hey, I don't want to get married other than you! Remember that," cried dev as mery tried to flee away from him.

****

Amusement park...

Dev looks very charming, using a black t-shirt and levis pants that are trand in today's era really invites the attention of women around him. Mery used to wear glasses, a plain black hijab with long-sleeved mocca and a long skirt wearing branded white shoes. Adelia is carried with her dev like a couple taking her child for fun.

"Odev, I want that... I want that," cried adelia pointing to the sweet arum food forming a round like gulali. Dev only breathed a long breath then approached the merchant next to them standing up. Mery just smiled looking at the expression of dev who was so upset with Adelia.

"Wrap one!" said dev coldly.

"Hey, odev. Why is it cold as ice? Unlike usual," quipped Adelia staring at the expressionless face of the dev.

"Adelia, yes. Don't be the same about you. She was so with everyone else" said Mery smiling.

Adelia nodded, then she picked up the sweet arum and got down from the sling of the dev, she ran small towards the seat next to the coffee shop. Next to Adelia was a dull-dressed little boy, a face that looked slightly dirty. Holding a used can filled with pennies. Mery then took out the money in his wallet and gave some of the money to the boy.

"Thank you, brother!" said the boy smiling happily to see fifty thousand money lying in the can when mery gave it, he immediately got up from his seat and ran away from mery, dev smiled. As expected, Mery hasn't changed at all like he used to. Always good and always want to share even if there is or not. Dev muttered in his heart.

"Hey wait!" adelia shouted trying to chase after the child. Dev attempts to capture Adelia's body but does not arrive. Finally Adelia chased the dull-clothed child to a stop at the food stall. Mery, dev and Adelia pause. Watching the boy who tried to get into the rice stalls so crowded.

Ten minutes later, the dull-clothed child came out carrying a large black plastic crispy parcel. I lost taking him. But mery, dev and Adelia try to keep paying attention to him. The boy continued to walk away from the quite crowded garden. Not in the least, the boy broke through a wall that had a hole big enough to penetrate the railroad.

"Where is she going?" ask adelia.

"Tante doesn't know, honey. Looks like he's got his friends."

"You're noisy! Just follow. Then you'll know where he's going," the same dev upset curious follow on the boy. They finally followed through into the hollow wall. The result they did not expect was, when Mery gave the boy fifty dollars. He tried to run fast and buy five rice packs along with plastic-wrapped tea drinks. He also bought his sisters who were 1 year old one child, 2 years two twins, and 7 years one child.

The boy was taller than the boy in the cardboard shack next to the railroad tracks. They sleep in houses made of cardboard and old newspapers. The place is very shabby and stinky. Adelia couldn't even smell the house. The child who had just been given money to Mery was shocked when he was bribing twice a bribe from his dirty hands.

"Ka... Why are you guys here? Do you want to take the money again?" the boy asked nervously, his face as if frightened. They were all staring at mery and dev like criminals who wanted to take their food. Mery just fell silent looking at the contents of the rice package is filled only with rice, tofu and gravy. Their clothes are also no less dirty than doormats in their homes. It was heart of Dev so touched to see them. Mery instantly drips her eyes, weeping over the fate of an innocent child having to fight and survive in such circumstances. Mery can't see them.

"Why are you here? Danger knows!" adelia tries to communicate with them.

"We don't have a home, we don't have parents. Naturally we could only survive under the toll roads and beside the railway tracks. Because we were afraid that the police would arrest us and put us in jail" said one of the children, crying, clutching the rice on paper.

"Who are your names?" tanya dev held back the crying, so her throat hurt. Mery is speechless. He just cried and kept crying.

"This is my brother, his name is Leo, 1 year old. They were twins, I found them as babies, wasted beside our house, he was 2 years old. Her names are Hanna and Hanni. She's my second sister, Riska, 8 years old. And I'm Dion, I'm 10 years old," replied Dion immediately smiling happily to welcome the arrival of dev, mery and adelia.

"Why is this brother crying?" tanya Riska pointed towards Mery.

"He was just a flickering, no need to care about it," said dev trying to smile at Riska. Dev can't let mery keep crying, because dev knows that mery's physique isn't as strong as tery's. "Alright, brother go first. Y'all eat... Someday you'll come here again" continued Dev smiling. Adelia then waved her hand and walked away. Dev mempenapah mery, the body of Mery immediately began to release because the inner to the child has hit hard heart.
