After the dinner together, Mother Mila invited everyone to gather in the family room. The television that was originally turned off by Mother Mila so as not to interfere with their conversation.
If Mother Mila gathers them it means there is something important to be said. Emi was curious and impatient what was important. He sat next to Kevin while Justin and Bima sat in front of them. Mother Mila sat in a position as the head of the household, if others see they are like a harmonious family.
"Sunday mom and Justin are leaving for Australia. Justin will continue his S2 program there."
"What's? Australia?" shocked Emi. "Wouldn't Brother Justin be directly cooperating om Bima? Why suddenly?"
Emi could not believe Justin's decision which seemed sudden. Emi knew if Justin finished his lecture quickly so he could go straight to work and make rupiah.
Justin also never said he wanted to continue college again as Mother Mila said at this time. Emi's shock caused Kevin to swallow his saliva.
"Justin will immediately work, he will handle the company built by his dead mother's children. Justin will continue his studies."
"But why Australia? It's far away, Bun. In Jakarta you can too, right?"
"The company is in Australia. Bima also knows the company, he used to help his children manage it before returning to Indonesia. Since then the company is managed by a trusted child mother and now she is old, she is no longer able to. It is impossible to trust the company again to others when there are you," explained Mother Mila.
"Yes, Bun. But far away and brother Justin must be lonely."
"Mother will also come and stay there with Justin. If there's a holiday, we'll go home, Emi."
Emi's eyes immediately stared intently at Kevin next to her.
"If mom and sister Justin leave, it means I'm just with Kevin's brother. I must have been yelled at and scolded later. I don't want to" gave Kevin a cynical look.
"Diddeliver! If I scream and get angry, that's a sign, baby. Who wants to live with you alone? Oh wow!"
That's what Kevin said but actually he just wanted to piss Emi off.
"Don't fight anymore" Mother Mila said. "Kevin will also continue his S2. We'll leave on the same day."
"What, Bun?"
Emi was again surprised by the notice of Mother Mila.
"Kevin will continue his studies in Singapore, not far away and he can often come home to see you later."
"Where can it be like that" Emi protested. "Sister Kevin can't go either" Emi disagreed.
"But Kevin has registered online and accepted at his destination campus" Mother Mila told reporters.
"Sister Kevin?"
Emi stared at Kevin's horror. What Madam Mila said tonight was beyond Emi's expectations. Neither Justin nor Kevin have discussed it with Emi over the years. Impressive for Emi but not for Justin and Kevin.
Three months before the graduation ceremony, Mother Mila had discussed the matter with Justin and Kevin. They agreed not to tell Emi in advance because they were worried about making Emi sad. And sure enough, when Emi was told tonight, she was very surprised.
"In Indonesia, there are also many good campuses. Continue your studies here, brother?" suddenly Emi speaks softly to Kevin, hoping to cancel his intention to study in Singapore.
"I'll come home often to see you later" said Kevin.
Emi's body felt limp and numb. Emi does not want to be separated from her two brothers but on the other hand Emi is also unlikely to be selfish.
For those who have lived and lived in orphanages very rarely get the opportunity to be cared for by families who want to send to college. Even if there might not be much. Emi cannot get in the way of what Kevin and Justin aspire to.
Emi is used to her life with Kevin and Justin, she can't imagine how her days would be without the two young men.
"If you go with brother Justin to Australia and brother Kevin to Singapore, how do you keep me? I'm alone dong stay home?"
Emi is getting lethargic imagining her days ahead. Justin and Kevin were silent, they hadn't thought about it before either. Emi's face looked sad, not knowing what else to say.
Emi does not care about mother Mila's words. Of course, he will not be alone because there is still Mr. Eko who works as a driver and his wife who works as ART.
"You'll stay with Bima!"
"Om Bima?"
The Emi and Bima reflexes looked at Mother Mila at the same time.
"Yes, Bima will take care of you."
Bima who had just been a listener immediately showed dislike on his face. Justin and Kevin are also no less surprised by their mother. Kevin sees Bima and Emi alternating. What Mother Mila said was beyond belief.
Suddenly Emi was excited again. Emi smiled with perfectly patterned eyes looking at her bunda.
Bima stood up to say his objection to the words of Mother Mila.
"I'm sorry but I'm not bi-"
Mother Mila raised her palm, interrupting Bima as she spoke.
"I need to talk to you" said Mother Mila with eyes fixed on Bima. "The three of you go into each room, there is something you have to talk to Bima," he continued to his three children.
It can be felt if the atmosphere between Mother Mila and Bima is a little tense at this time. Justin pulls Kevin and Emi's hand to leave their mother and Bima.
Arriving at her room, Emi immediately jumped on top of the bed and rolled around in pleasure.
"Sit down" Mila commanded Bima.
Bima rubbed his face rough, he did not want to be bound further by the affairs of the mother Mila's family. Replacing the position of his dead son as a leader with the cool language of the CEO, has been quite burdening Bima so far.
"I'm sorry but I really can't do that, Mom."
"Let's stay at my house. Take care of Emi as long as there is no us. I entrust Emi to you and be nice to her. Emi is my son now. And one more thing, you're in no position to be able to refuse what I'm telling you."
"But I'm"
"The last thing you have to do if you want to end it all. Do it well and you can be free afterwards!" mama Mila.
After saying it to Bima, Mother Mila left her alone. Bima's head was dizzy thinking about the woman's orders. Bima wanted to immediately leave everything related to the Suntama family and keeping Emi was absurd for him.
Bima thought until he finally made a decision. He found Mother Mila in the room.
"Say," Mother Mila ordered when she invited Bima to her room.
"I will do it but I refuse to stay at the family home of Mila's mother" said Bima.
"Then what do you want?"
"I'll watch Emi from afar and see her occasionally at home."
"But I disagree," rejecting what Bima said.
Bima turned the brain looking for another way. There was another one but Bima was very dislikeful of his idea.
"Then Emi should stay with me. Emi lives in my place, even if Mila's mother agrees."
"I agree and do it well. Come out, I want a break."
Without thinking long mother Mila agreed to what Bima said. After they leave later, Emi will stay at Bima's house and leave all Emi's business to Bima.
