"Then, what makes you sad?"
"Your lies."
Duarrr
"I mean Brother?"
Shafa thought hard, remembering every word he had ever said. And all the promises that are said seem to be no lies. Or did he forget?
"You said you wouldn't get married." Fahri put on a smile. He made others panic. But that didn't last long.
"Yetoo!" Rajuk Syafa while hitting Fahri's shoulder spoiled. "Hat first."
Before falling in love Syafa felt reluctant to just move from the door of this house. But now, somehow his desire was inversely proportional. He wants to live a new life. With new people. Imagine white clouds turning into rainbows. Then she danced among them with the people she loved.
"But Big Brother said, Big brother will bother if I don't get married." Shafa.
The two remembered their jokes together. Both eyes glazed. Fahri held Syafa in his arms. This feeling is no longer fussy. It is difficult to explain in words.
"So you're gonna get married and leave me?"
Fahri kissed his sister's forehead, a warm feeling flowed to make her blood rustle. For a long time he looked at the face of his brother. His brain was adventuring at the positive desires he had designed for Syafa.
"You don't want to go to college?"
said Fahri who wants his sister to continue her education only. Become a great person to live well. Not like him who is just a farm worker.
"So don't mess with my mind, yeah! I have decided to be happy with my new life. That way, you can also decide on a new life." Fahri shook his head in shock, a bit harshly he took his distance. Like someone caught cheating. Fahri tried to be ordinary. Although awkwardness is more domineering.
'My mind is fucked up, Syafa!' inner Fahri
Is this like being a parent? Or is it the forbidden feeling that dominates this mind? It is very difficult to let go of Syafa to others. But, did not the laws of nature write destiny before man himself was created. We are brothers, and I am the oldest. How should I take a stand for a future that I myself do not yet understand.
"Big brother why?"
Could there be unresolved issues?
"Yaw!"
If Fahri had not been Shafa's brother. If he could force Syafa to comply with his wishes. A great desire that he believes can make the people he loves happy. But what power if his desire is only a wish.
"Syafa, Big Brother loves you so much" Fahri said unknowingly. He also did not understand why it could be from so many words, useless words that came out. But his heart felt plong. At least the feeling that crammed into his heart had been expelled.
Unlike Syafa who immediately laughed out loud. There was no doubt to answer immediately. "I love my sister too. Very! love till death do us part." That's truth. But that's not what Fahri wants. He wanted another form of love that was impossible for him to get.
"It's a different love, Shafa!" lirih Fahri's. Looking up into the sky. Syafa's heart suddenly jumped.
"I mean, Brother?"
Like there is a storm in the ocean, starting from the tight wind blowing. Black clouds began to decorate the sky. Syafa was astonished by his brother's words. Seeking meaning through an unintelligible sad gaze.
"What kind of love is different?"
"Like this." Fahri pinched the rough cheek of his sister so he got a light blow from the owner.
"Yetoo!"
The two laughed together.
Finally consciousness regains the sanity of Fahri. This is the real relationship. Love relationships because their blood is just as thick.
And Syafa was skeptical of what had just happened. He felt the world was perfect with his brother.

At night, as usual Fahri went to the bathroom before going to bed. Passing through Syafa's slightly open room. Curiosity demands the body to just loosen a head. Shafa was looking at the moon while talking.
"It's so beautiful!" The girl's lips never stopped curving perfectly. His face contrasts with the full moon. Beautiful, beautiful and looks so happy.
Fahri really doesn't like this situation. She doesn't like Syafa to share stories or happiness with men other than her. Slowly he lifted his body. Close the door to his sister's room. His hand hung as his curiosity knocked on the door also came to a halt.
"Shyafa!"
"Yes briefly! Brother Fahri call me." whispered Syafa who could actually be heard by Fahri.
"Shyafa!"
"What's up, brother?"
"No! Why aren't you asleep?"
Fahri.
"This is another conversation with Mas Dunka!" Show Syafa on his phone. Her face was as if she was in a flower garden. Fahri looked at his sister closely.
"Owh, Brother Fahri's! Why hasn't Shafa slept." Fahri doesn't want to move yet. The girl who was being struck by romance was reluctant to end her conversation with the Beloved.
"Sister's company!" Fahri withdraws Syafa's hand without consent.
"Here, Brother Fahri asked to be accompanied by sa...!"
"Wouldn't you talk to her, too?" Seizing syafa's phone. "It's forbidden to call people's children at bat hours!" ketus Fahri then turns off the connection.
"Bad brother!" rajuk Syafa who again snatched the phone then typed something.
The two now sit parallel on the couch. Seeing sky.
Silent.
A breeze pierced Fahri's heart until unknowingly only disappointment flashed. I don't know why he felt defeated by Dunka. Shouldn't Shafa be more on his side? understand himself more?
"Is that how deep your love for her is?" lirih Fahri who was embraced enthusiastically by Syafa. "Do you really mean your decision?"
Syafa looked at Fahri for a long time.
"Very!" the girl lowered her gaze, gazing around staring sayu at Fahri's eyes. "He's my life, brother!"
'Is that how love is replaced?'
Only Fahri's long breath could be heard. Both are back in silence.
"Syafa doesn't understand why. Syafa's thoughts were only on him. Syafa also does not want a day without looking at it. It feels very nervous when you don't meet him. Say, Brother! Is Shafa wrong to want to be with him?"
Silent.
Lambaian leaves as if laughing at the silence of Fahri. He was defeated by his brother. He who could never deny his sister's wishes. This time, too, the hard-earned battle with the will of the heart. Letting his sister go or choosing to be hated.
Nah! Instead of being hated by his sister later, Fahri will choose to obey Syafa's will.
"Make him propose to you if he's serious!"
Fahri's words suddenly made Syafa for a while just gawking.
"Is that right, brother?"
"Didn't you like my words?"
"Thank you, Brother! Thank you." Thank you."
Emmuach
Right cheek
Emmuach
Left cheek and then hugged. A sense of relief and happiness mixed haru. Fahri was happy by Syafa's smile. Syafa is happy because he will feel how to love other men besides his own brother.
"Sleep! The night is late. Not good for your health." Fahri said.
"Sister also do not stay up a lot. The night wind is very easy to make people look old quickly. How am I going to have a sister-in-law later if my sister ages soon?"
"Don't brag! you go in. Or the night wind will also catch you. The Dunka seems pretty good at picking a lot of women."
Syafa's pupils dilated perfectly. Fahri so easily reversed the word.
"Sister!That's why I got it?"
Fahri. Shafa entered the house after stomping his feet.
"Sister just wants what's best for you. And honestly, you'd be happier if you studied longer. Butiii what can do. You've already decided. Big brother's biggest difficulty is not obeying your will. May you be happy with your choice."
The moonlight was increasingly blazing in the sky. Fahri moved from his seat. An old woman was standing behind the window. Peeping and eavesdropping.
"Thank you, Ngger! Because you're growing better than I thought you were!Sorry, until now you have to remain silent." said without anyone to hear except the wooden walls.
