20.2 [Lyra] Broken

I was really brought to Bryan's house today. Even now he is sitting opposite to Eza's sister to ask permission. Just having dinner together, he said.

I was nervous actually, because Eza was still silent after Bryan said his intention to pick me up now. But I hope Brother Eza will allow. Although I have little doubt whether it will go well later.

"Gue is up to Lyra, if she's willing, go ahead. As long as you anterin he's home before ten."

"Where, Ra. Eza already give permission, you want to stay or do not come with me to eat the same mall with Daddy and Mommy."

I'm confused, I don't know what to answer. On the one hand I really want to get to know a little more Kak Bryan family but on the other hand I am also afraid that it will not go as I hope.

"Kelama thought lo deck, already there change clothes. Let this abis you can go right away."

With a heavy heart I finally went into the room to change clothes. If you can choose, actually I'd rather not give permission because I'm very nervous now. But what I can do, I have to keep going because Sister Eza actually invited Brother Bryan to take me.

"We're leaving, brother."

Brother Eza just nodded his head and patted Brother Bryan on the shoulder as I said goodbye.

Kak Bryan's house was not too big, even more impressed like a minimalist house. But I think the house is very beautiful. I don't know why this house makes me feel comfortable.

"Oh, whose son did you take this with you?"

Upon entering the house, we were immediately greeted by Mama Kak Bryan.

"It's Lyra, Ma. Eza's sister."

"Hello Auntie, I'm Lyra."

Although already introduced by Brother Bryan, I still strengthen myself and shake hands with him.

"Hello, honey. Here you are with aunt. Let Bryan change his clothes first."

I was invited to the kitchen by Aunt Rila, it seems like indirectly Aunt Rila asked me to help prepare food for dinner indirectly. Fortunately, I'm used to cooking, so everything will be fine.

"Lyra likes to cook or..?"

"Ah, no. I'm used to cooking at home. Because sometimes my friends stay so we cook together."

"just fine. Ah, you're still in college, son?"

Aunt Rila asked in between our busy work preparing dinner.

"Yes, aunt. It's still semester 5 and it's already started preparing for an internship as well."

"Oh, how do you know my brother?"

A brother? So it's Bryan's call at home, funny call too. Same goes with me who is called adek.

"I knew Kak Bryan accidentally, because at that time I found Kak Bryan's wallet and it happened to be his best friend Kak Eza."

Aunt Rila just gave a small nod in response to my explanation of how I knew her son. Strange, it is only because the wallet can be as close as now and even invited to the house anyway. But, baby, there is no status.

"Thank you, you have been helped, you are a guest even so bothered in the kitchen." Auntie Rila said after we both finished preparing dinner.

"Well, what's Mama cooking? I think it's good."

A man, who I believe Papa Kak Bryan datan and join us.

"Eh, there's a guest turned out. Sorry, I'm not polite. I'm Satya, Bryan's father."

"Hello Om, I'm Lyra. Brother Bryan's friend."

"Bryan pinter, find a beautiful friend." Om Satya whisper which unfortunately I can still hear.

"Ra, Papa, you're not talking weird, are you?"

I just stared at the confused Bryan Brother because of the question just now. Strange as he meant? What Om Satya said earlier was strange.

"No, Papa's just a contact with Lyra. You are it, the indictment."

"Papa usually does that."

Ah, it turns out that Bryan's not that big of a bitch. But why is it that every time he's with me he can't be like this? To be honest, I was made to fall many times today because I saw the other side of Bryan when he was with his family.

"Where's Ra? Is it good for a aunt's cake? This is my aunt tried a new recipe yesterday."

"Great boy, Tan. When can Lyra learn to cook with Auntie?"

"May dong dear, later if there is free time to play here, do not wait for Abang, he is his house just for transit. "

"No, Ma. Don't be so ugly I'm in front of Lyra dong."

"You're talking facts, Bang. You've been busy lately."

I saw Brother Bryan just resignedly listening to his Papa's words. But I feel guilty, because behind the busy Bryan's brother there I always ask to meet. Though if I do not ask to meet for sure he can often gather with his parents like gini.

Dinner's over, I'm back to help Aunt Rila clear the dinner table. I even took the initiative to wash the dishes.

"Auntie just sit down, let me do the dishes."

"No need, just in there. Let tomorrow be holy."

"No, Tan. Just a little bit of this."

In the end, Aunt Rila let me wash the dishes used for dinner and slightly tidied the kitchen area and also the dining table.

I intend to join in the living room once I finish washing. But my intention was to undo it after hearing the talk of Aunt Rila and Om Satya.

Hah, it turns out to be just imaging. I think they really accepted me. It turns out that it is just a mere truancy, just a form of courtesy towards guests. I feel like crying now.

I quickly rubbed my face before my tears came down. Because Bryan's brother is coming for me now.

"Why not join, instead stand still there."

"Ah, no. This was fitting to go there flickering. That's why stop."

"Let's see, I'm on medication. Red is his eye."

Brother Bryan looked at me worried, but my red eyes were not because of flickering but because I was crying.

"Ma, please get me the eye drops in the PPPK box for Lyra."

"No, this is not papa. It will also heal itself. Just got a little soapy water, that's why it's red."

Brother Bryan is still staring at me worried, I honestly don't have the heart. But I also can't say that his parents don't like me.

"Gue anter go home. Yuk, say goodbye to Mama and Papa first."

I followed Bryan to say goodbye to Bryan's parents.

"Om, Auntie, I go home first. Thanks for today."

"Ah, wait a minute. Lyra here with aunt first, Aunt already prepared a cake for you to take home."

I followed and walked slowly behind Aunt Rila who eagerly took me the cake made.

"Thank you aunt, sorry to bother."

"I'm happy, because someone likes my cake." He said with a sweet smile.

"Ah yes, Lyra.  I don't care if you're friends with him. I like you, I'm glad you have a friend like you. I know you like my son and maybe he likes you too. But sorry, I can't bless your relationship more than friends. So please, don't make your brother fall for you. He's been my match" He went on and made me hang for a moment.

Haah, it turns out this is what it feels like to be given hope but at that time the hope you get is broken just like that. Not even a chance to fight.

I can only nod at Aunt Rila's words. Inevitably I have to obey his request, after all I and Brother Bryan do not have any relationship. So, however, trying to fight the result will be the same. Free and useless.
