Between Me and Brother
Season 2, chapter 76



****


Mery's family as well as Anton one of them doesn't know. That Dev had planned something and a month ago Ara was already a fugitive of the police now. Dev always expects news of Ara's whereabouts to be quickly revealed and could be jailed for life on murder charges.


Before being reported by police officers, Dev had also thought that Ara had run away first when he saw Vivian at that time. Because Ara knew who Vivian was, even if Ara saw Dev back then. It's likely that Ara will run away forever and never come back. But feelings are feelings.


Dev is still worried about Mery at his wedding. After the wedding it went well. Dev will take the couple away from Jakarta. But Dev will take Mery and Anton to Jogja. Where Tery and Mery grew up as children.


"Dev, has there been any word from the police?" asked Vivian who was sitting with her husband enjoying a Hollywood movie.


"Not yet, still in search." she replied briefly.


"It's also great that yah~ people can survive for a month being fugitives!" vivian exclaimed that Ara was becoming a fugitive. "But Dev, does anyone in the Mery family know about this?"


"It doesn't seem!" the answer is shorter than usual. Dev's face looks flat staring at the glass window with a view of the buildings and various vehicles look smaller.


"Why?" vivian's husband Lucas answered Dev. He turned his head, walking closer to the couple who were engrossed in making out. Dev stared at the snacks on the table.


"Because the matter had nothing to do with the family, he tried to kill Tery because he wanted to see that Indra became a widower and Indra got off the bed with his target. After that, he could control himself to get closer to Anton. The real purpose is that. Therefore, I tried to lure him in by agreeing with Mery with Anton. It wasn't Mery I made the bait. But Anton," obviously Dev stared coldly at the couple in front of him.


Vivian shook her head while smiling forcefully. Vivian's husband was even just stunned by such a sadistic answer. The plan was unexpected, it was difficult for Vivian to strangle in her words. It turned out that a month ago he had already reacted so early.


"Dev, your plan is so hard for me to understand. I'm proud to have a friend like you, but ... Is that not outrageous?" said Vivian looking at Dev, who was already waiting for her answer.


"Vivian, you're smart! A really cool cardiologist for the medical world. How can you not take a catch from my words? Come on .." said Dev mocking, trying to code Vivian to think.


Vivian and her husband tried to think following from the initial word, she tried so hard that knocking tap the table with a spoon many times. The husband Vivian also thought because he tried to break from the speech. Vivian smiled, nodded and rounded her eyes.


"Haha..." the laugh instantly sounded soft, "Dev, did you really do it? That's really awesome!" vivian immediately jumped on the sofa. The husband was astonished to see the wife prancing around like an ape getting her banana with a happy feeling of laughter.


"What's he thinking?" lucas looked at Dev confused. Dev just shrugged his shoulders pretending not to know what was on his mind. Dev grinned leaving them with a feeling of pleasure.


"Darling, what are you thinking?" asked Lucas to try to stop the wife's excitement. Vivian looked directly at the door leaf that had been docked. She returned graceful as usual lali Vivian looked back at her husband trying to tell her the truth.


"I don't really know what that means either, I'm just pretending to know!" vivian replied. Lucas immediately sat down, not believing what his wife was doing. Acting stupid as if understanding from Dev. But in fact not at all. Lucas patted his head in disbelief.

Srak, srak, srakk ... The sound of a book being ripped by someone. Indra tried to look in Adelia's playroom. One day he was at home with his son. But feel a deep loneliness. The voice came from Adelia who was lying on the floor writing something in the book. However, several times he also ripped the book.


"Adelia, what are you doing, son?" tanya Indra tried to sit next to Adelia.


"Dad! Look, Adelia's writing is good?" exclaimed Adelia immediately showed her writing accompanied by a picture of a small child and an adult woman beside her.


"God, it's so beautiful, son. How can you write this story?" indra tried to be proud of him.


"Tante Mery taught me," he replied with a happy smile. Adelia looked back at her image and gently stroked the mature woman. Adelia was silent at once, until Indra felt and understood her heart. But Adelia certainly did not admit it, she tried to toughen up with her words that she had hated him. However, his little heart always missed the figure of a playmate. "Dad, can Adelia ask for something?"


"Say my son, whatever you want. I'll do it for you!" her answer immediately grabbed Adelia's small back.


"Anything?" he said making sure, indra nodded excitedly while smiling.


"Dad, I want aunty. Aunt Mery is with dad and me! Like a mother and wife. Can I father?" Indra was instantly speechless from her smile. The sparkling face was instantly blurry with Adelia's request. It is hard to believe that his wish was achieved. Indra tried to smile for him and kissed Adelia on the forehead. "Can't do it, Dad? Adelia knows that aunty is getting married to Anton, right? But is dad sincere to him? Adelia doesn't want to see you sad."


Indra held back the tears in her teary eyelids. Indra does not know whether the words of his son can be conveyed or not. Fate always makes him ask, even the wind is lazy to tell what is in his mind.


The star smiles and is happy to see Adelia her beloved child wants something difficult to do even if any word does not work for her to do. The sound of sea water in Bali leaves a wave that is so beautiful at night. Indra and Adelia stared at the seawater decorated with stars that were thousands in number so that the moon made the change of sunlight.

Anton is not his name if he just fell silent to see the brother cry feeling guilty to him because he was terrorized by a woman he did not know. Anton rushes to the monitoring room and sees the cctv before he gets to his house. Recorded him on the cctv. But the woman was wearing a mask that was hard to recognize. But Mery vaguely knew him. The curves of the woman's body as often in her jump.


"You recognize the guy?" mery tapped the table.


"Looks not. I don't know him at all" Anton shook his head as he pretended not to know him. Why Ara terrorized Wilky. There was nothing to do with him. Anton murmured in his heart.


"Anton, I want to go home." Mery put on a grim face, he just fell silent with his eyeballs still staring at the cctv screen. Anton invited her home. At exactly nine o'clock in the evening, Mery arrived at his home safely. Abi and Umi are also happy to see this bride-to-be go together. But Anton did not know from the face of Mery who was always bent from his home.


"Umi Abi, anton come home first!" pamit Anton while kissing the hands of both parents Mery.


"Good, umi." Mery replied briefly, he did not look at her. Mery just stared at one direction. "Oh yes, umi. Where is Dev?" he asked Dev.


"She just got home. Said he went to the hotel to see Vivian, you met gih."


Mery immediately got up from his seat and walked towards the guest room, seen there a haughty body bedding his bed. Dev falls asleep or pretends to sleep not knowing, which is clear Mery came to him and took a broomstick that is commonly used to clean the mattress. Mery tries to prank Dev, by hitting a loose mattress to surprise Dev.


Buk, buk, buk... The sound of a blow sounded loud. Dev only regained consciousness and went back to sleep. Mery was very upset to see the unsatisfactory response. Mery finally tries to get out of Dev's room.


"Your ability to prank me when I sleep is old, where I may be surprised by you ninety-sixth time!" exclaiming Dev suddenly sat on the mattress while smiling looking at Mery as he turned his face in surprise. Mery smiled to himself. I realized what Dev said.

The room looks dark on medical devices. One body filled the bed above him. Vivian checks the stability on the person. The room was hidden only certain people could enter the room. The patient's body began to respond little by little but Vivian should not be rash as she had to constantly monitor her condition. If it escaped from monitoring it would endanger his life.


It is difficult to explain if he suddenly lost his life at that time. Fortunately before that day happened, Vivian first stepped forward. No one knows that Tery can still be saved. Except Dev himself.

Morning sunshine covers Jakarta. Mery and Dev wake up early. They each have their own promise that this Sunday Dev invites Mery out of the house and exercise together outside. At first Abi refused, because Mery's condition weakened fear something happened. But Dev himself is a doctor he convinced Abi to do it, Umi agreed.


"Mery! Hurry, it'll be noon!" scream outside the front porch.


"Wait a minute, Dev!" her reply was loud in Mery's room. After two minutes, Mery came out of his room and said goodbye to Abi and Umi. Dev, staring at the clothes worn by Mery as soon as Dev chuckles at him.


"What do you see, Dev?" mery said confused while checking herself.


"Why are you wearing such a loose jacket? And those loose training pants are also Mer? Later there is fat you slumped, your skin will be rich granny because of sagging!" tease Dev laughed.


"Dev don't joke! How can I show my curves?" mery was upset. Dev was silent. Mery rarely uses tight clothing. He likes loose clothing, for Mery tight clothes will look naked and then in the umbar along the way. It was a shame for Mery himself.


"Okay, come on! It's seven o'clock more. It will be less good if we exercise. Later we eat breakfast in the park there alone," he said immediately running small. Mery followed.


"Dev, I want to tell you. But can you answer it?" mery said a little underestimating to Dev.


"Tell me," he replied as he ran. Dev does not care what Mery will tell him because what he asks is definitely not far from Anton. Other than that topic, there was nothing else on him.


"Dev, when are you getting married?" The deg! An unexpected question just came out to Mery. Instantly Dev immediately stopped from running he immediately set his breathing in shock at the question. Mery follows while looking at Dev.


"Why are you asking that?" replied Dev low-pitched with his cold gaze.


"I'm just asking, Dev~. If you don't want to answer it then forget it!" saut Mery ran away and left Dev. Instantly Dev was only speechless looking at Mery's back which kept running away from him.


Mer, your question is very simple but it's hard for me to answer. I'm sorry, huh? Dev muttered in his heart. Dev immediately ran after Mery.


Mery and Dev ran for half an hour, arriving at a park that was filled with crowds of people exercising. Dev stared at the various vendors five feet next to him a lot, various ketoprak, chicken porridge, green beans, chicken soto, pecel and fried-fried. All breakfast is available there.


"Dev, are you hungry yet?"


"Well, slightly. You?" saut Dev sits in the chair under a mango tree.


"Well, do you eat yuk? I want to eat chicken porridge, it looks good!" mery looked at the chicken porridge seller ten steps from Dev.


"But, I don't want it~" he said spoiled.


"What's Dev, if you don't want to keep porridge?" annoyed Mery stared at the various food vendors nearby. "Dev, dev, dev try to see that! It's delicious" exclaimed Mery, patting Dev's arm telling him to look at the one Mery pointed at. Dev turned his head, the old grandfather's pastry vendor across the street near Alfamart.


"Itu~" show Dev hesitating.


"Yes, why? Poor it grandpa. Though already an elder but his struggle to live is truly extraordinary. In order to avoid being haram, he was willing to trade under such conditions, right, Dev?" mery said softly as her eyes glazed over at the grandfather. "Dev, imagine it. If that grandfather is Abi, how would I feel? It's so ruined Dev."


"Hey, it's still morning. If you pity you biss buy all the sales!" exclaim Dev cheers Mery on. He turned his head, glaring at Dev who was trying to comfort Mery.


"Dev, aren't you happy?"


"Huh? Me! I ... I'm kan... I'm gonna eat ketoprak!" said Dev broken, he tried to turn his face away. "Okay, I'm a pes... Book first!" nervousness.
