Falling in Love With My Brother

Final resting

"The princess has gathered with the eyes of the kakung and the father of the child, is happy there" whispered the mother to El's ears. El cried loudly in the arms of the mother, and the brother who was still loyal to guard her from behind. Worrying about the time El fainted again.

El ventured to look at the face of the princess he loved. Eyang looked graceful and beautiful, smiling in his long sleep.

"Mother, adek has not yet been able to apologize to the princess' eyes" whined El in front of the mother.

"Dek, mother yesterday has apologized on behalf of the great-grandchild, so adek see right? What a beautiful princess, she also smiled without burden?!" mother calms El. Then El held back his tears, still leaving a small sob. He looked calmer.

"Mother, adek want to kiss princess eyes for the last time" whined El.

"But if you can't kiss me with tears, sure it's strong?" ask mom while stroking El's hair.

"May mother, hold it" El pleaded

"Alright, brother take care of adek ya" said the mother gently, while staring at brother.

"Yes bun" replied the brother, then brought El up from his seat, approaching the coffin.

"Strong deck" said the brother near the coffin. El lowered his head to kiss the hands of the princess who was stiff, then had to wipe the tears, which he had tried to hold.

El shifted to the top, approached the eyed head, then kissed the left cheek of his eye and forehead. As much as she gathered her strength not to cry. Brother felt El's body start to limp, then brought him into his arms.

"Dec.... Grandpa...." El was unconscious again. The brother lifted El to his room, followed by Rani, and Shinta their cousin. Making the atmosphere even more heartbreaking, among the guests present, many were moved and cried to see the incident before their eyes.

They gave eucalyptus oil to some parts of El's body, trying to resuscitate. Brother asks Mbak Surti, their housekeeper, to bring a warm drink to El.

The time for the funeral ceremony, El woke up from his stupor.

"Sister, adek want to join nganter to the tomb of princess eyang" pinta El to Rani's brother.

"Adek, come with me brother" whined El while crying.

"Yes, wait, brother find brother first" finally brother Rani gave up.

Rani called out to her brother who was talking to his college friends.

"Bang adek ngeyel wants to join nganter to the tomb, brother keep gih" whispered brother Rani. Brother nodded, and said goodbye to his friends.

"Dec... Are you sure you want to come? We'll be tomorrow, ngunjungin granny's grave huh?" rayu brother.

"Ga bang, adek come along. adek want to come along.." cried El broke again.

"Yes... Da... Adek can come, but the promise must be strong" said the brother patiently.

"Adek wants to be the same brother" whined El again.

"Yes, brother temenin adek" brother stretched out his hand. El greeted him then stood up, and walked out on my brother's face.

At the cemetery, El again cried in the arms of his brother, until the grave diggers hoarded the tomb of eyang.

"That bang...." El is still sobbing.

"Sstt.. can not be cried again, later adek ketapean, kasian eyang, adek love equally eye?" Brother calmed El back down, El nodded.
