DESERVEDLY

Chapter 1 - Dorr!

Intan's smile faded. His heart was no longer cheerful. In fact, his forehead was clearly wrinkled hinting at the astonishment of the lover who had just asked to break up.

“What did you say? Break?” Intan convinced himself not to listen wrongly.

“Iya. I think that's what's best for us.”

“Why?”

Intan doesn't need a pleasantry. Reason and explanation are now so anticipated. After three months of dating without even a fight, it feels so surprising that the lover suddenly asked to break up.

“I don't deserve you.”

“Not worth it? Just because of that?” Without even fading the sharp eyes, Intan continued to ask for an explanation.

“Iya. You're too good for me.”

Laughter slowly Intan showed without knowing. For Intan, the reasons expressed are completely irrelevant to the situation during their relationship. All this time, Intan and her boyfriend have been fine. In fact, both parents already know, also hope Intan and her lover soon get married.

“Funny for your reason, Mas. Everywhere that person will be grateful if his lover is full of goodness. You are just the opposite.”

“I'm sorry, Intan. I know you have a hard time accepting this decision. But ...”

“Enough! We broke up! You are the one who does not deserve me! Go with your affair!”

After Intan said so, a tall-nosed woman walked over. The sweet smile he gave to Intan, then stood beside the man who had now officially become Intan's ex-lover. Intan's guess is right. Her ex-boyfriend committed treason.

Dorr!

Spontaneous Intan jumps up on the sofa while holding her left chest. The sound of the balloon erupting really did not start to disperse the daydream. However, the shock instantly turned to worry as soon as it saw other balloons ready to be detonated.

“Miraaaa! Get the needle!”

“No want! Weeek!”

The chase between Intan and his sister is inevitable. Not wanting to be childish, Intan just does not want the balloons that have been prepared must be pumped back. The plan, the balloons will be distributed to students at the school where Intan teaches.

Dor-dor's! Dor-dor-dor's!

The other five balloons erupted in turn. This time it was not the act of Intan's sister, but the act of sharp claws of three domesticated female cats Intan.

“Bora-Sora-Nora! Dan, you! Miraa! You guys this ...”

“Hahaha. Sorry, Brother. Mira help the pump again, huh. The balloon that launched by Bora-Sora-Nora will also be replaced by Mira. Now, it's better for you to change clothes, and make a beautiful one, and put on a smile. Don't pout gini, ah!” Mira pinched softly both cheeks Intan.

“Wait! What's the matter?” Intan begins to get suspicious of Mira's orders.

“There are those who want to come.”

“Who, Mir?”

“See for yourself later. Mira just told mom to tell sister to ask to change clothes.”

Intan didn't ask much more. After all, he was tired after pumping several balloons that eventually had to be blown back due to the puffiness of Mira. Now, Intan decided to take a shower, change clothes, and prepare to welcome the upcoming guests. Intan guessed that the people who came were Arisan mothers.

Unexpectedly, Intan actually took a long time to prepare. Intan's mind is unfocused, even occasionally stuck in the reverie of his past. Bad memories when he broke up with the former a few years ago were present since last afternoon. At that time, Intan accidentally crossed paths with the ex who turned out to have been holding a baby aged several months.

Intan's mind is disturbed because he sees his former lover has been happy with his wife and baby. Unlike Intan which until now has not found the right person to be invited to go to the pelaminan.

Dorr!

This time it was not the sound of a balloon popping. Miralah who makes ‘dorr’ sound to break the Intan daydream.

“Bu teacher why daydream constantly, anyway?” Mira seduces Intan with the tone of elementary school children.

“Mira, don't start, deh!”

“Basic sister! His students are forbidden to daydream, but now it is his own brother who daydreams.”

Insinuated thus, Intan's heart softened. A knot smile was given, then Intan's attention was on Mira who was preparing with a floral dress. Much different from the appearance of Intan who chose a hoodie suit and trousers.

“Your clothes are too good. Quickly change there! We're part kitchen, Mir.”

There's no response. Mira just fell silent while trying to digest Intan's sentence.

“Kitchen parts? I thought in this house there would be a Arisan?”

“Iya.”

“Not, Brother. Soon there will be a cover event.”

“Hah? Who wants to apply?”

“Yes sister, dong! Time Yes Mira first.”

Rounded Intan eyeball. No one had said anything to him before. She had absolutely no idea about the proposal event that Mira had just told her.

“Bu, what is true ...”

Intan's mouth is smothering from behind. Miralah. Mira accidentally prevents Intan from asking her mother.

“What are you two doing, anyway? Come on, help mom! Soon his guests are coming.”

Not long ago, Bu RT was seen stepping quickly towards the yard of Intan's house followed by several other mothers. Intan's guess is right. That afternoon's event was a rallying event, not a proposal.

“Mira!” Intan managed to remove the hand of the brother.

“Hihi. Pranks! Brother daydreams constantly, anyway.”

Actually Intan wants to be angry, but prevented by the mother because of the existing conditions. It will be a discussion of the Arisan mothers if Intan and Mira fight in front of them. Be, Intan just clucked in annoyance then rushed back to his room.

Mira who feels guilty immediately follows her brother. As usual, with a bit of seduction and explanation, Mira manages to get an apology from Intan. Such is the brotherly relationship between Intan and Mira. No matter how big the mistake, there is always an apology that muffles everything.

“What brother has not been able to move on from ex? To the extent that sister does not want to date anymore? It happened a few years ago, you know. When my sister was in college. Now brother is working and it's time to get married.” Long-drawn Mira explained the contents of her mind.

“Kakak doesn't want to date not because he hasn't moved on, Mir. My sister wants to get married. The dating is a waste of time. Not to mention her heartache.”

“What sister already have candidates?”

Intan shook his head. Indeed, ever since he broke up with the ex, not a single man dared to express his feelings. Especially since he did profession as a teacher as well as a writer who already has quite a lot of fans. Rumor is, no one dared to approach Intan because they felt unworthy to be with him.

“If you like big brother, is there not?” Mira probes.

“Maybe .. exist. Probably not.” either Intan's tone sounded like someone who was resigned to the situation.

“How about Brother Ronal? The tombal king during the High School? Doesn't she have a crush on sister?”

“Maxed doang but no proof, yes free, Mir.”

“True too, anyway. Oh yeah, what about the handsome Lecturer? Brother friend college time.”

Deg-deg-deg!

Instantly, Intan was silent. Intan knew very well who the man Mira meant. The lecturer who was mentioned by his sister was named Sandhi, Intan's friend during S1 college. Intan had put his heart, but it was not continued because Intan felt unworthy to get Sandhi's heart.

“Sister inappropriate for Sandhi, Mir. Sandhi is smart, cool, famous on his campus. While sister ...”

“Didn't you also smart, cool, and have fans of the novel you wrote? According to Mira just fast, anyway.”

“Pan-tas,” Spell Intan in a clean tone.

That fast word has been weighing on the heart all this time. That's what Intan's ex-lover used to end the relationship. Now, the word fast is what Intan uses as an excuse to express a disturbing feeling that until now still does not meet a bright spot. Why there must be a proper word in a relationship, that was the question.

“So sister should get married. Sister's age is increasing, tuh!”

“Iya, Mir. Brother understands that.”

“Em, if you are set up, Kak?”

“What?” Intan was surprised to hear the word matchmaking.

Apparently the question was a lure to start a serious chat. Afterwards, Mira rushed towards the main topic. Actually, a few days ago Mira accidentally heard the mother's chat about her brother's arranged marriage plan with a neighbor's child.

“Why did you just say now, Mir?”

“Sssut! Don't be so hard, brother! Later Mira reprimanded mom for eavesdropping on the chat that time.”

Intan stroked his forehead slowly. This news is really surprising. Plus, Mira shows a recording of the chat that proves that the news is not mere nonsense.

“Sister doesn't want to be betrothed, Mir. You know that, don't you?”

“Iya, Mira knows, Brother. If it is like that, brother must hurry to find a candidate to be introduced to father and mother.”

“But, who wants to be with sister?”

“Usaha first, Brother. Later also meet.”

A few days after the news was received, the mother of the young man who was about to be betrothed to Intan accidentally slipped into talking about arranged marriage. Since then, Intan has been awake at night. Confused, thought, the option to run away from home was stamped in his mind. However, the plan did not get carried out because Intan did not want to be childish.

“What should I do so that the match does not come to pass?” Intan muttered in his heart, as his feet continued to step on the edge of the fish pond that was in the dining area.

In a half-dreaming state, Intan's shoulder unintentionally clashed with someone's shoulder. Unfortunately, the place where Intan limbung is the edge of the fish pond. The clear pool water was ready to welcome Intan's body before finally someone who nudged him earlier turned things around. The Diamond hand is grabbed, then pulled away from the pool area.

Intan survived, not so splashed into the fish pond. Not the first feeling of pleasure that Intan felt, but the heart pounding. At this time Intan's eyeballs are colliding with the male eyeballs in front of him. A man who was no stranger to him. Intan can not only recognize it from the look of the face, but also from the sweet smile that is presented to him.

Who is that man? Could the meeting at the edge of the fish pond be a way for Intan to find a partner? Looking forward to the story!
