Falling in Love With My Brother

Go away

El dropped her body on the mattress, slumped her face over the pillow she functioned to dampen her moderately loud cries. And the pillow was very helpful to El, because the proof was that no one heard El's voice.

"I'm not your father's son... But why don't they tell me I'm the son of a servant...." Her crying broke again, she was completely screwed that night.

Then he thought about what he should do after he knew everything. He wiped his tears, took a deep breath, he tilted his body then started thinking clearly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps leading to his room, El hurriedly wiped his tears and immediately closed his eyes. He set his breath to look natural, to look completely in a state of sleep.

The door of his room was open, there were footsteps approaching and then rubbed his head, there was a small stuffing that El believed was the mother.

Mother tidied El's messy hair, then kissed El's forehead, a little long. After that, the mother left El in her own room.

Already almost one morning El did not feel any sleepiness, the source of his tears was dry, and could not come out again.

Suddenly she has a desire to leave the house, she is disappointed at the dishonesty of her family.

Then El packed some change of clothes, besides he didn't bring anything. He started writing letters to my mother, he was willing to pour out a little of his heart. Actually he was also aware, his family treated him well. Mother does not distinguish in educating her biological children with her self. But his disappointment and anger were greater, he was sure, he had to get away from them.

Moreover, he knows that his brother also loves him, but mother forbids their relationship. Although there was relief in El's heart, because he and his brother had no blood relation. But the mother's prohibition that they do not love each other, hurt her very much.

And before leaving, El covered her bolster with a blanket, let it be later if anyone comes into her room, thinking she's still asleep.

At two o'clock in the morning El was sneaking out of his room, the atmosphere was still quiet there was not one person who looked, surely they were already exhausted with the event these few days. El carried a backpack on his back.

El walked out without anyone noticing. He broke through the cold, early this morning. There was not a single vehicle passing by, he walked quite a distance, then suddenly from behind there was the sound of a car. He looked at a pick-up car carrying vegetables, he stopped and the car stopped next to El.

"Where are you going, mbak?" asked the driver, it appears beside him there is an old mother who just woke up, he used a kebaya, maybe this mother is a vegetable owner who wants to be sold to the market.

"Sir, is this car passing through the station?" ask El

"Actually it's not through mbak, but later what, you miss in front of the station, near the same market we are headed" replied the father again.

"May I hitchhike sir?" ask El again to be sure.

"Yes, come here, sit next to my mother" said the mother as she pushed the door from the inside.

"Thank you ma'am" El greeted him with joy. El nodded politely, then got into the car and sat down next to the mother. Then the driver drove his car.
