92. About Love

After lunch, Lilian went to the kitchen to wash the dishes they had eaten earlier. While Rex went into the dining room to take the medicine and put it on the table in front of Gama.

" Just ate Rex, not a few times," said Gama with a dislike face.

" I know. I'm ready to let Lo ga many reasons and can take medicine in front of me..," said Rex relaxed.

" Lo don't believe I'm gonna take Rex's medicine ?. There was no one who took the drug I took the drug really, the time is now ga..," said Gama upset.

" So because the wound is still painful. If you have no pain, you will not take the medicine. Aren't you...?" rex asked with a nosy smile.

" Ck, it's really complicated Lo rich Brother Lo..," grumbled Gama while looking.

" Ehm !. But the rich gini ribet that the Gam people are looking for...!" sahut Lilian from the kitchen to make Rex and Gama look at each other while rounding their eyes.

" Rasain Lo's. I didn't follow ya..," said Rex half-whispering then stepped onto the porch of the house leaving Gama alone.

" Surpring...!" call Gama also half-whispered.

There is no lawfulness. Apparently Rex deliberately stayed away because he did not want to get the nagging of the brother.

" Why hasn't the medicine been taken...?" lillian asked from the middle doorway.

" Yes, in a minute. Kan just really eat..," said Gama while grinning.

" Just ate?, that was fifteen minutes ago Gam. You can take medicine now and not much reason yes...!" lillian said as she grabbed the medicine from the table and thrust it towards Gama.

Gama stared at Lilian who stood with her fierce face. For a moment their gazes met again. Realizing that he was being observed in such a way by Gama made Lilian a little nervous.

" What's wiry...?! " ask Lilian ketus.

" Tsk. Ga ga brother why fierce all the hell. The two of you are not descended from wolves, are you...?" gerutu Gama while clucking.

Gama's speech made Lilian surprised and reflexes reached her ears until Gama complained of pain.

" Sakiitt wooiii...!" gama screamed while holding back Lilian's hand that continued to search for the target.

" Rasain !. So if the talk is arranged..," said Lilian gaunty while turning to Pitch Gama.

Unable to bear the pain of Lilian's pinch plus the pain in the wound on his abdomen, Gama swiftly pulled both hands Lilian until the girl fell into his arms.

Silent.

Gama and Lilian stared at each other in silence. Gama's heart raced fast because it could barely control itself when it came into contact with Lilian. Gama also recalled the moment of the kiss that time until he unconsciously brought his face closer to Lilian's face.

Lilian seemed to open her eyes when she realized Gama's different gaze. For some reason, staring at Gama this close made his feelings chaotic and his heart beat irregularly.

When Gama's lips almost touched his lips, Lilian quickly pushed Gama to hit the back of the sofa. Gama appears to wipe his face to relieve the rumbling of his heart that was binding. While Lilian again grabbed the medicine from the table because the medicine she had just poured had fallen to the floor.

From his seat Gama observed Lilian intensely as if he did not want time to pass.

" This, take the medicine. If you have rest. Do not forget to pray Dzuhur..," Lilian said without looking at Gama.

" Thank you.." said Gama after taking the medicine.

" All together. Then I went back to Gam. "Lillian said, "and rushed out of Gama's house.

In the doorway Lilian passed by Rex who seemed to be staring at the older brother with an unusual look.

" I'm going home first, Rex." said Lilian.

" okay. I'm here first, brother, why aren't you...?" ask Rex.

" Gapap. But not until the night. I'm a little uncomfortable at home alone.." - Lilian.

" yes. Before Maghrib I was home, ." said Rex, who was taken by Lilian.

Then Lilian took a quick step down the street in front of Gama's house.

Rex entered the house and found Gama sculpting with a matted face.

" Our...!" call Rex to surprise Gama.

" Eh, yes Rex..," said Gama nervously while fixing his sitting position.

" Did no one want to explain to Gue Gam...?" ask Rex.

" What's Rex obviously about...?" ask Gama to pretend he doesn't know.

" Tsk. Obviously now or forever we don't have to see you again. And don't assume I'm a friend, let alone a friend" Rex said as he got up from his seat and walked quickly to the door.

Rex's words surprised Gama. He rushed after Rex and grabbed his hand.

" Wait on Rex !. Ok, I'll explain everything" said Gama while grimacing with pain due to wounds in his stomach again feels pain.

" Ok..," said Rex while brushing Gama's hand that was blocking his wrist.

Then Rex and Gama sat facing each other. The atmosphere in the room was silent for a moment until Gama finally opened his voice.

" I love Brother Lo. Not as a sister to his older sister but a real love like a grown man with a mature woman" Gama said as he stared fixedly at Rex.

Gama's words made Rex surprised instead of dumbfounded. Rex stood up and grabbed Gama's collar and almost punched him in the face. But he paled when he saw Gama staring resignedly as if ready to receive his punch.

Rex lowered both his hands while gritting his teeth in anger. At that time Rex felt fooled because he did not know what had happened between Gama and Lilian.

" Don't get me wrong Brother Lo. He also doesn't know anything about my true feelings for him" said Gama, fearing that Rex would scold Lilian later.

The room was silent again. Rex tries to think clearly because he realizes that love is a divine gift that comes uninvited. Love also cannot choose who it will anchor to.

" When is...?" ask Rex.

" I don't know exactly when. But if you can be honest, I am indeed interested in Brother Lo since I and my parents came to visit the first time after so long We did not meet..," said Gama steady.

" Are you sure Lo's feeling the same Gam ?. You know if I wouldn't let any guy hurt Lian including Lo...!" rex said riled.

" I know Rex. That's why I took a long time to digest this feeling because I didn't want to misstep and ruin our friendship." said Gama.

" It's also damaging our family relationships that are already good Gam..," Rex said.

" Yes, that too." said Gama.

" So on...?" ask Rex impatiently.

" It turns out that the feeling I have is indeed Rex's love. This taste is the same as the taste I have for my ex-husband. But this time is different because there is a fear that accompanies..," said Gama lirih.

" Fear...?" rex doesn't understand.

" yes. I'm afraid I'm losing him Rex. I can't imagine that Brother Lo is married to another man. That's why I immediately ask permission from Dad to deketin Brother Lo..," said Gama.

" So you know about this...?!" ask Rex in disbelief.

" yes. Dad gave me the same opportunity as the other man who wanted to pursue Big Brother Lo's love. But Lo calm Rex, I will not make Brother Lo to nerima I. Because according to me love comes from the heart. So Brother Lo do not need to feel bad I refuse if indeed he does not have any feelings as I..," said Gama sage.

" Keep about the prospective Wife that Lo bumbar to I mean Kak Lian...?" ask Rex.

" Yes..," said Gama quickly.

" It doesn't matter Gam !. Not necessarily Lian want to be the same Lo. Pake buy any house, would bribe Lo yes...!" said Rex while whining miserably.

" I told you I wouldn't make him love me. Whatever the decision is, I accept it. About the house can be taken care of later..," said Gama while grinning.

Rex let out a long sigh hearing Gama's reply. I don't know why the anger that had stopped by, vanished after hearing Gama's explanation.

" So please don't stop me from chasing after Brother Lo ya Rex..," Pinta Gama while holding Rex's hands to make Rex tiptoed in shock.

" Release Gam, jijay tau ga...?!" rex said loudly while brushed off Gama's hand violently.

" Therefore answered..," said Gama half forcefully.

" Yes yes, I won't stop Lo. Now all the way there...!" rex said loudly while moving away from Gama.

Gama smiled with satisfaction and sat back in his place. Gama's face seemed to sparkle happily because it had received the blessing of Rex to reach Lilian's love.
