Decuruh Tak Dewuh

"I want to speak with you two eyes" said Rendi.
_
Gluey!
Inexplicably Bagas immediately goosebumps when Rendi says she wants to talk to him with two eyes.
Rendi smiled obliquely looking at the pale face of Bagas.
"Call remember me? Some time ago I came to pick up Ruhi when you had your course. I'm the TNI who picked up Ruhi that time."
Bagas. Rendi sat beside Bagas.
"I just want to tell you this." The joints inhale air to fill the cavity of his lungs and then he exhaled slowly.
"I want you to keep your distance from Ruhi" continued Rendi.
Bagas reflex turned to look at Rendi. He looked at Rendi with a dislike look. Who is she to dare to ask her to stay away from Ruhi!.
Rendi laughed mockingly, "You must be wondering. Who am I to dare ask you to stay away from Ruhi."
'Why does he know what's on my mind?' batin Bagas tried to neutralize his surprise.
Rendi reached out her hand, "Introduce my name Rendi Rajendra Hayyat Khan. Ruhi's first brother."
Bagas shook Rendi's hand.
"I asked you to stay away from Ruhi because I know everything. Whatever you did to my sister, from betting to spitting on my sister in public."
"I-I can explain it," said Bagas nervously. Cold sweat soaked his temples. Bagas clenched his hand holding back the fear of hearing Rendi's voice which currently sounded extremely terrifying.
"I won't beat you up like Indra. Nor will I be angry with you like Tito, Aziz, Adi and the rest of Ruhi's friends. I'm just pissed at myself why I can't do it all."
"I'm disappointed in you Bagas. At first, I liked your relationship a lot. But, it turns out that my guess was wrong. Therefore, I ask you to keep your distance from Ruhi. After the staging of the sky theater is over, stay away from my sister. Forever!"
Rendi looked ahead without shifting her gaze in the slightest.
Bagas clenched his hand. Where could he possibly do that. Just now Bagas wants to fix everything, but there are obstacles. Since apologizing in the cafeteria some time ago, Bagas had promised in his heart that he would mend his relationship with Ruhi and have Ruhi's heart back. Bagas will not let Ruhi belong to anyone other than himself.
Silent cries cover both. Rendi and Bagas were both speechless, drowning with their respective thoughts.
"Sorry," said Bagas but still heard by Rendi's ears.
Rendi reflex looked at Bagas, "What do you mean?" Ask Rendi to make sure. He is not the type of person to play a hit before listening to the real explanation.
"I can't keep my distance from Ruhi much less stay away from her. I just realized that your little sister has managed to take my heart. He managed to tear apart my defenses. My rock-hard heart was softened by a Ruhi. The girl I played with. I realized that I love Ruhi," said Bagas.
There was a tone of seriousness in Bagas' speech. His face also showed seriousness. Rendi sighed, then stood up.
"Take care of my sister" said Rendi then left Bagas who was aghast at her words. Rendi continued to walk until she disappeared at the intersection of the corridor to Ruhi's ward.
"Take care of my sister."
Rendi's words just rang again in the ear of Bagas. Suddenly a happy face appeared on Bagas' facial expression.
"That means...." Bagas thought for a moment. "YES!" Pekik Bagas while shaking his body so happy.
"Sister-in-law's candidate has given the green light. Means I have the right to approach Ruhi without having to fear Indra, Tito or Reza-Reza." Bagas grinned.
"All right! From tomorrow, I will approach Ruhi again," Bagas said.
#
Next day.
"Assalamualaik."
"Getishalight." Everyone said his regards to Bagas despite half-dead holding back the resentment in their hearts.
"Room here?" Ask Indra with a ketus.
"Let him Ndra. Brother has allowed him to visit Ruhi" said Rendi without taking his eyes off the newspaper reading today.
"But-"
"Not accepting buts," cut Rendi when Indra wanted to protest Rendi's remarks.
"Hey wait a minute... Not him, the boy who used to spit at Ruhi fitting me same Ruhi CFD-an huh?" Reza said she felt familiar with Bagas who started to enter Ruhi's ward.
"So it's true!" Rendi immediately locked Indra's movement who wanted to hit Bagas' body.
"Pacify yourself Indra!" Jerk Rendi while Indra remains in revolt. Indra instantly kept silent as she snapped at Rendi, her brother. With a feeling of annoyance Indra slammed the door of Ruhi's hospital room without heeding the warning from the sisters who passed in front of Ruhi's ward.
"I'm sorry he. Indra is stubborn."
Bagas smiled clumsyly.
"I'm sorry Ren," said Reza and then chased after Indra who had come out first.
"Mas Bagas? Why here? And where's Bang Indra?" Tanya Ruhi streaks. Ruhi comes with Rajendra and Ali after doing a CT-SCAN on Ruhi.
"Republica?"
"Assalamualaikum sir," said Bagas while kissing Rajendra's hand and then Ali.
"Waalaikumsalam" said Rajendra. "Do you want to look at Ruhi?"
"Yes sir" replied Bagas.
"Sister, Ali wants to talk to brother for a second. Come on," take Ali with a hostile look at Bagas.
Rajendra laid his daughter to the cage first and followed Ali out of the hospital room.
"Do you know who he is?" Ali said after coming out of the ward.
"She Bagas, the elder brother of Ruhi, Aziz, Adi and Tito in Unipdi. Why?" Rajendra asked back.
"Do you know what he has done to our Ruhi! Did you know she made Ruhi cry! Do you know that he was the cause of Ruhi locked herself in the room for a whole week! Did you know-"
"I know everything." Cut Rajendra.
"What?" Tanya Ali confirmed her hearing.
"I know everything. I know all the Bagas' behavior to my son. And I also know, he used Ruhi to ease his KKN. I know everything Al," Rajendra said casually but his hands clenched tightly considering Bagas' behavior towards Ruhi. He knew everything from Reno, Indra's best friend who he asked to find out about Bagas.
"Then what is the action of the brother now?"
"I'll let him approach Ruhi back."
"What a crazy brother!"
"I'm sane! One hundred percent sane!"
"Then why did you let that little bastard get close to my beloved niece?"
"Because Ruhi loves Bagas."
