Still at night.
Arya and Vera have entered the house, walking towards the living room. After kissing Aliya's hand, Arya sits on the sofa, while Vera thrusts her bag at her Aunt in charge of the clothes problem behind her back, then sits next to Aliya.
"Mama heard you were rained. Why don't you wait for the rain to subside before it comes out baby ?"
"I was thinking, Mama must be worried again because I came home late. I was just running hehe." You lying man Ve.
"You can call Mama first."
"That's the problem Mah, I'm forgetfulness." Vera glanced at Arya asking for help through the look in her eyes. And it seems like the man caught his point.
"Said Mama said there was something to talk about. Talk about what ?" Arya open the sound.
"It's about Arian, baby. But.... Oya Ve should rest and sleep early. So that your bandan is more relaxed when you wake up in the morning." Vera frowned
"Mama and Brother want to talk about what the hell. I have to get rid of everything." Vera talks ketus
"Here you go, you follow his orders. Instead, I won't give you any extra lessons tonight."
"Wuah, cool dong. Then thank you. I'm going to my room now, Mah."
After kissing Aliya Vera's cheek, she got up from her seat, walked into the room and lay down on her bed. His sling bag was already placed on the study table.
"Hhh, hotnyaaaa. I finally met you, too, my bed. I missed you half to death." Vera lay tilted to the left, looking towards the window. And the rain hasn't stopped either. The gurgling water that descended from the sky did sound comfortable in the ears huh, as if seducing me to close my eyes immediately. Better take a warm bath first. I just went to bed.
Vera walks gontai into the bathroom. Half an hour later he came out of the dressing room, already wearing a pajama shorts suit. Brush her hair in front of the glass. After that he reached for the remote Dvd Player to set the music at medium volume, warming the atmosphere.
Not long after, a knock on the door sounded from outside. There was an Arian voice behind it, permission to go inside.
"What's up, sister ?" Vera asked as Arian was already sitting on the bed. The clothes of the office still lingered on his body, the scent of his perfume spreading in the air. So fragrant.
"There's nothing. Brother just misses you."
"Oh, I think someone's gonna talk about it." Vera lay on her bed.
"No, but there's something Big Brother wants to ask" Arian also lay staring at the sky of the room.
"Ask what ?"
"So Brother saw you walking while carrying a man's jacket. Where'd you get it ?"
"Oh, that jacket belongs to a crazy animal."
"Crazy beast !"
"Yes, I call it that because it is similar to an animal. Always demean women without looking around first. His mind was also narrow, judging all women equally. Especially when I see her humiliating women in public. Brother knows, so hot, I just fisted his face earlier. So that he would be aware of his behavior hehe."
"Then what you feel after that. Regret or vice versa ?" Arian began to intimidate
"Well, that means ?"
"After carelessly throwing your fist at someone else's face. What do you feel ? Worry or happiness."
"Mmm, if that's the case...." Think for a minute "Both hehe.."
"You mean ?"
"Honestly, Brother, after helping the woman he lowered. There was a sudden sense of anxiety when I thought about it."
"Well, why is that so Ve ?"
"Come, maybe.... Because I don't have the heart either, brother. Especially after I hear the reason, I feel guilty for myself."
"You must think before you act. Do not doubt you do not like it, so you just want to hit people's faces unconsciously. Look at the consequences, until now you are still thinking about it."
"Nor. I'm just tired of thinking about things, not just animals. Hhh" Helaan's tired breath sounded suspicious in Arian's ears
"What do you think, baby ?" Arian lay on his side to the right, looking at Vera's face.
"I don't know, this afternoon Linda wanted to treat me to a meal. At first I refused, but finally I just kept quiet while accompanying him to eat at the same table of course. Hearing her curses, I somehow felt that she was not a bad person. Only circumstances made him look so arrogant. He was just lonely. Needing attention is the main goal. That is why he always does something wrong to anyone who dares to fight him speak. When reprimanded even more vulnerable, feel the greatest self, feel the smartest self, feel the most powerful self. And not admit defeat. Hhh, it turns out that there are also such people in the world. Arrogant there is no medicine, make people shake. But at the end of the day, I don't want to be friends with him either."
"But, don't know why, brother heard from the way you talk, that's not the point of what you think, baby. And it seems you feel burdened. So quickly tell me what you're really hiding."
Vera changed her sleeping position tilted to the left, grabbed the bolster and hugged him. His face was close to Arian. He wanted to convey something seriously.
"I want to tell you everything, but you have to promise that you can't be angry."
"What is that ?" Arian spoke quickly, his gaze guessing. There was real jealousy tucked away from her reaction."Maybe this is about the man you told me about earlier. You called it by what call it was. Brother forgot."
"No! It's about my friend who is diligent. Anyway, how could I feel overwhelmed by that star. It's disgusting."
"It's true that crazy animal." Vera shook her head."If he's not the one, which friend are you ? What man is a woman ?" Arian had a serious face when he asked, making Vera look to think for a moment to feel something strange in his heart.
Huh! What men women.
Strange, if you think about it. Why do I feel like I hear that question so often. Like I belong to each one. Vera looked at Arian suspiciously. Don't-don't.... No, that's not possible! Relax Ve calm down, he's your brother. You don't take a run.
Arian confused himself when he saw Vera shaking her head
"He's a girl friend where I work. And he's the one who made me think of him until now."
"Ooooh,"
Huh, Basics! When it comes to women, brother says it's just oh. Curious tightness times.
"Wait what else" Huh! Vera was surprised "Tell me quickly Brother wants to know."
"You what ?" Vera is sewot
"Ah, yes, too. Yes it is. Here's story. She's the Nina I told you about helping out with sister the other day and she......" Flowing all the stories from first getting to know each other until tonight. "So that's the story, Brother will not tell Mama about today's events right."
"If you promise not to repeat. Brother. I assume today never happened."
"Thank God, thank you, brother."
"Now all the problems are solved. So, you don't feel burdened anymore, do you, baby."
"I felt burdened for not asking permission before. But the point of it all is that I feel sympathy for him. It felt like my hands were itching, wanting to immediately help him live up to his expectations. And from that moment I thought about how I could help him, without knowing it. But honestly, he doesn't need it either. Because I can't wait for the guy."
"In order to keep his feelings, you can help him gradually Ve. Don't be at once. Like you gave it through someone else's hand for example."
"Well, that's right too. My brother is smart to find a solution. But who do I ask for help through ?" Think again, "Later, I think again. And now it's my turn to ask Brother."
"Ask what ?"
"So before I went into the room, Mama said there was something to talk about Brother with that crazy criminal. But before I heard, I was kicked out first. I was curious. Indeed, what the hell is going on and why I shouldn't know."
"Mmm, if it's related to that problem. My brother is not ready to give me the answer now. But I'm sure soon you know, without being told. And Brother wants to know how to fix you later. Feeling lost or vice versa." Vera frowned.
"Well! Meaning ?" Clunky
"The bottom line is if you already know, Brother order not to let your spirit is shaken, baby. Brother does not want to see you sad because you regret and are late to realize it. Brother just wants to see you happy here forever." Arian touched Vera's cheek, rubbing it slowly. All of his feelings flowed through his warm hands.
"So what the hell is that talking about. Why do I feel like Brother's saying goodbye. There's just one."
"Not farewell but hope. Hope we all love."
"From the beginning, all of us were happy and that was always achieved. Yes, although sometimes there are annoying events, too. The point is I beg you not to feel burdened by me here huh. I feel bad later. Do what you want and I will always understand it. Including the message of Mama first. If that's true, I'm prepared to obey."
"Mama's Order! What is that ? No, I don't know."
"Only should I choose one of the two of you to be a companion. Old brother forgot. At that time, my sister also heard Mama's words. Although I'm not sure, that crazy criminal must have heard it, too."
"Well!" Arian was shocked to wake up sitting from his sleep. "When is the time ? I don't remember at all."
"When we were kids, you don't pretend you don't remember."
"I swear, Brother meant it, Ve,"
"Massa anyway!" Arian nodded slowly, his eyeballs spinning, looking around for memories in his head."Yes already, rather than Brother confused, mengingan Brother rest and sleep. It's better because my eyes are sleepy too."
"So, you're kicking Brother out of the story." Arian smiled
"Yes, because my heavy eyes can't stand to sleep. Anyway, it's also late. Brother not tired what ?"
"Yes already then, Brother is also willing to rest." Arian kissed Vera's forehead."Don't forget, the music's off before bed. Good night baby." Arian get off the bed.
"Night Brother."Vera smiled as she watched Arian close the door. Pulling the blanket to the end of the shoulder, praying in the heart and falling asleep in his dream.
An hour later, hearing the music still on, Arya came inside without knocking on the door. As if you knew the situation inside. Turn off the Dvd player and sit on the side of the mattress. Looking at the beautiful face of the girl fixedly, her outstretched hand rubbed her thin lips slowly with the mother finger.
Looking at your attitude this afternoon, I feel like you are a thorny flower. Just touched the stalk, his hand scratched. It's exquisite.
After a meaningful smile, her lips touched Vera's lips, kissed her gently, pouring out all her feelings.
"Sleep peacefully, my flower, your face looks pale. May your health be better than your present state. Good night."
Although her voice sounded clear, there was no reaction at all from the girl. He's too kebo. Arya got up from sitting, putting out all the lights except the sleeping lights. Then out again closed the door slowly without a sound.
***
At the same time and in a different place.
Adit sits on the couch of his dad's office telling him about the old deal. There were two cups of warm tea on the table and a few dishes of pastry that had not been touched.
"Then, when Ardana died, she sent Dad a message."
"Order what Dad ?"
"Given that both of her foster daughter's parents died. Ardana and Dad promised to marry you."
"Then ?"
"But after a few days Ardana died. Aliya pleads with Dad, he won't marry his daughter to you. So, Dad and Aliya make a new deal. Incidentally, at that time the company Ardana almost went bankrupt. Dad immediately helped him by planting a stake of several tens of percent. And Dad was surprised, a few years later Aliya was able to develop his company by herself. In return Aliya promises to marry one of her favorite sons to your sister for being happy."
"So what Dad meant was that he could sacrifice his son's happiness to redeem his debt to Daddy ?"
"It's not about debt. But we want to develop a family relationship. Aliya Ardana and her two foster daughter's parents are close friends with your father and biological mother first. That's why Dad and Aliya planned it all a long time ago."
"If one of his sons is to be married to my sister. What about her adopted daughter ? Hearing that he was treated unfairly. He should have been the one who deserved Dad's happiness more."
"Aliya has her own plans, as a mother she must know. Which is the worst and best for him in the future. And what surprised Dad the most was that he wanted to marry his adopted daughter to one of his sons. That's what he thinks, that's gonna make his adopted daughter happy all her life."
JGERRR
Adit pegged in place, his hands clenched. After hearing the sentence that destroyed all his wishful thinking. So injured he just kept quiet without saying a word.
"And a few weeks ago your sister told Dad. He fell in love with one of his sons. This is a good sign and very good. Because hearing your sister say so, the other day I just went to her house, talked about this matter. And only this morning, Aliya said her son agreed and in a few weeks we will bring them together. You know I'm so happy." Dad's voice sounded enthusiastic as he delivered it. It makes Adit more helpless. Because basically he always attach importance to the happiness of his Father and Sister above all else. But somehow there was something that looked different from the look on his face now.
When I saw Dad sipping tea a few times, Adit came out of the room. Just a few steps away, Fani came closer with a question. He had not yet spoken, Adit's hand had pushed his body, docked at the wall.
"Tell me the name of the man you want to marry." Adit spoke in a cold voice "Arya or Arian ? Answer it accurately."
Fani jerked where he was surrounded, his entire body goosebumps looking at the look in his eyes. Hp who was held until he fell to land on the floor. She's terrified.
Good Lord! What's wrong with Brother tonight and why does Brother seem to be mad at me. It was as if I made a fatal mistake. Though I swear, I've never seen Brother react like this before. His face is awful.
