58. Adnan and Lucy

In the afternoon Kirana and Amira went to Adnan's house. The two kept the promise to stay and accompany Papa and Mama Amira who were sick. Amira immediately excited to know if Papa Adnannannya sick. She several times saw Mama Kirana collapsed due to stomach pain so Amira was always afraid of the news named pain.

“Papa...,” said Amira immediately hugged Adnan leaning on the sofa while moving the tv channel without a clear purpose.

“Halo beautiful Papa,” says Adnan.

“Amira, do not hug Papa later yes later you will catch it too,” said Kirana.

“Nih Bang wear the mask so that Amira does not follow the pain,” said Lucy handed him one mask.

Adnan wears it. He also changed his clothes several times to cover his mouth when sneezing. Amira will get sick easily, if she gets infected will be long affairs.

Because Amira is already cool with laughing watching a comedy show on television Kirana and Lucy can focus on preparing dinner. Lucy helps Kirana cut the vegetables while the healthy Kirana moves more and more to and fro making the vegetables that Lucy requested.

“Ma, Deck, what are you cooking?” ask Adnan.

“Sayur asem equally make know the contents. Why, you want to eat something?” ask Kirana.

“Dek, make a pedal dong. Ribet no?” ask Adnan.

“No,” replied Kirana.

“Make it, really want to eat the pedal that you made for Amira last week,” said Adnan.

“Ho, the mother of your country share her cravings Yes Bang?” kirana asked with a mischievous smile.

“Iya kayaknya,” said Adnan resignedly.

“Don't do much for him Ki, later not kemakan. Brother if you want just want doang will not be finished fall,” said Lucy.

“No can oruh neng if make just a little. No papa will be frozen, if most yes half I take home tomorrow,” said Kirana.

“How are you funny? Ohh all day chatting same guy Sundanese so call it use neng aa ya now,” seductive Lucy.

“Apaan si Cy,” said the embarrassed Kirana.

“Hmm, Brother..., Kirana says Amira wants to have a new Papa,” said Lucy just made Amira who heard Mama Lucy's statement to laugh and nod at Papa Adnan so excitedly.

“Iya Pa, his name is Papa Galih. The good news, like to help the olang,” said Amira.

“Amira...,” scolds Kirana on her daughter.

“Ealah Ki, at a time when there are millions of single men in the universe of our beloved motherland is really yes you get police again,” said Adnan.

“But it was a little distant, a little bit he got a sundanese guy,” said Lucy.

“Let her bhayangkari uniform not be redundant Bang,” Lucy said again.

“Kok you guys so compact ngatain anyway. Wonderful,” said Kirana who heard everything.

...***...

The night was getting late, Amira was also sleeping. The whole house was silent except for Kirana who was still awake from her sleep. He slowly walked out of the room and chose to sit in the courtyard. Her thoughts were jumbled between her having to be faithful to her husband or accept the presence of someone new in her heart.

Honestly, just by chatting once Kirana successfully hypnotized by the charm of Galih. Never had she felt this kind of thing even with her own husband. His smile, his words, his jokes, even a strand of his hair was able to make Kirana stunned.

Without feeling a single drop of her tears fell down her cheeks. Guilt and a strange heartbeat made Kirana's mind mix. That's when Adnan who also could not sleep found Kirana contemplating alone. Adnan slowly sat down beside his sister and gave his shoulder to Kirana leaning on.

“Although why Dek?” ask Adnan.

“Galih Bang's. I'm confused. I've never felt this way. The time I fell in love with Keenan used to take a long time. Just because I got used to him and ended up feeling like I couldn't live without him. When Bang Raihan was present, I only accepted what he gave me. I love my husband, but that's not just present. But this time it feels so different Bang,” said Kirana.

“Dek, want Abang storyain not the beginning of the first brother can fall in love with your friend?” adnan asked with a smile.

“Why Bang?”

“Abang fell in love at first sight. That time if it's not wrong you are still in High School? What you are really excited about is preparing for SBMPTN your friends on coming home to study together. Brother remembers very well, when it was new brother arrived from the academy. Still wearing full and half-dead cadets Abang nahan embarrassed to know your friends at whispers talking Abang. Only one person who bodo very much the same brother at that time he was small-faced, long black hair without being tied up and kept busy with his thick math book,” said Adnan.

“Since then Brother likes to secretly stalk your social media and find out about the girl. You just said her name was Lucy when we camped. You should remember Dek, because the camp was also the first time to meet you with Raihan,” said Adnan.

“So the reason you ngajakin Ningrum same Lucy camp with us is because you want to be closer to Lucy?” kirana began to be interested.

“Iya.”

“Bang, it feels so secret admirer kayak what Bang?” ask Kirana.

“Ya that's it, cool but there is ketar ketirnya as well. We don't talk, so he doesn't know that we like him. Afraid that suddenly he was the same as the others,” Adnan said making Kirana smile.

“But this is the feeling of Kirana Bang. Kirana does not know whether Galih intends to be more or friendly. She was Gina's cousin and Gina's tea was Amira's tutor. He is also senior in Brimob. I'm afraid he's just trying to be friendly because I'm close to his acquaintances too,” Kirana said.

“Abang will not try to match you again Dek. The last time you tried to get close and accept your brother's best friend ended up heartbroken. For this time you will only look at you from far away. Kirana, you just say fall in love slowly. Brother don't want you to hurt anymore.”

“Kirana is afraid of falling in love Bang. After all Kirana had promised Bang Raihan that Kirana would not betray him. Enough just Bang Raihan alone, Kirana does not want anything else,” said Kirana.

“Kirana remember not Raihan ever asked you back to Keenan? He has already revealed you Deck. Raihan is no more. He is in a different realm than us. You who are still here, you who still have to continue your life. After all your daughter will indeed need the figure of a father who is really always there for her. In 3 months your brother will be a father to his little hero. Intentionally or not you will be leaning towards one of them. It's time you looked into your future Deck. Be happy for you for Amira. Brother will not hold you back anymore. Whether with Galih, Keenan or whoever it is, as long as he is good for you and can receive Amira well Abang will give his blessing Abang,” said Adnan made Kirana thank him and hug his brother.

“You are my brother and you are the most powerful woman in the world after Mama. Kirana, you know you're fragile, so look for a backrest. Sorry you can not stay with you forever because you already have other responsibilities,” Adnan said again.

“Kirana get it Bang. Kirana will also feel guilty about Lucy if you focus too much on me and Amira. Kirana sincerely Bang, Kirana is also always the one who always stoves Brother and Lucy. I hope your family will always be happy. Pray your sister can also get her happiness yes Bang,” said Kirana embraced by Adnan.
