"Nr ..."
The emperor turned his head as soon as he heard a voice coming from behind his back.
"May you talk to me for a second?" ask the middle-aged woman back.
Kai nodded. "By, Ma." Kai immediately approached the woman, then led her to the balcony where he was currently standing while sipping nicotine items tucked between his fingers.
"Don't smoke a lot Kai, it's not good for your health, ah.." said his mother when she was standing next to the child.
Kai smiled. "Once, Ma."
Mama Vienna glanced at him. "What? mama sees every day you smoke." she said back.
Kai chuckles. "Kok mama knows?"
"What the hell don't you know, Kai." he said back while hitting his son's arm slowly. "Nai ... "
"Hm ... " Kai threw the cigarette butt down, stepped on it. "What's up, Ma?"
"Mom can I ask you something?"
"Ask what?" the answer is facing the mother. Now, the mother and son face each other.
Mama Vienna stared fixedly at the boy's face. "Mom wants you to tell me, what are you really hiding from Mama?"
Kai frowned, staring at the bewildered Mama with a frowning forehead. "What does Mama mean? I'm not hiding anything." He held her shoulder while holding her. Kai smiled, staring in that aging beautiful face. "What makes you think that?" Kai asked increasingly curious.
"Do you love that girl? you love Yasika's sister?"
Kai was glued to his place.
The man sighed, then looked back at his mother. "Why does my mom ask like that?"
"Mama just wants to know, if you really love her sister, what about Yasika, Kai?"
Jeez .. mama Vienna is really worried about the girl.
"Ma ..." Kai took a deep breath before he spoke again, then rubbed his face in a huff. "I'm with Yasika, we have nothing to do." Kai dodged but not with his eyes and body looking restless.
"You don't love him?" ask your mother very convincingly. Makes the guy more frustrated.
The head shook faintly. "I just think of him as a little brother, nothing more." Lying Ma, I do love that girl.
Mama Vienna saw the look of Kai's eyes that were not as usual, there was a lie that was seen from the two black eye beads. Mama Vienna knew that Kai was hiding his feelings.
Mama knows Kai, your mouth may say no, but not with your heart.
"Nr ..." Mama Vienna approached and held the child's hand tightly. "Mama just wanted to say, mama did not disagree you with Anne, but __ "Mama Vienna hung her words, then looked into her son's face.
His eyes were straight ahead like he was staring. Yes, the Vienna mama remembered, an hour ago before Yasika and her sister were saying goodbye to go home, Yasika had accompanied her to cook in the kitchen, she said, because it has become a habit for the girl when she is in her house. Mama Vienna sees if the girl is not as usual. Mama Vienna had known Yasika for a long time, she had considered Yasika as her own daughter, especially after the departure of Amel, besides Kania, Vienna mama was only close to Yasika.
The girl was a little quiet, and often looked gloomy, even the Vienna mama saw there was a sadness that emanated from the eyes and also the face of the girl who was not as usual.
"Here baby, let auntie settle down."
"What's up, aunt, let me?"
Mama Vienna smiled. "Why do you rarely play here again? Kania often nanyain you loh."
Yasika kept all those dirty dishes over the sink of the dishwasher. "Sorry aunt, I've been busy lately. I'm going to graduate soon."
Somehow the look of Mama Vienna changed instantly when she heard the word graduation called. Her eyes were back in tears and it made Yasika feel guilty.
"Auntie's okay, right?"
The head shook. "Dear, auntie is okay. Aunt just remembered Amel." Quiet for a moment while looking down. "Being a Doctor is the goal." Not wanting to be sad again, then mama Vienna raised her face and smiled back. "Aunty prays, may you be a successful Doctor huh?"
Yasika smiled, then hugged the body back. "Thank you, aunt."
"Belike, auntie sure when you become a Doctor, Amel will also be happy there, see his best friend become a Doctor."
"Jasica?"
"Yes aunty."
"Did Kai hurt you?"
"What auntie mean?" ask the girl confused.
"Sorry if aunt intervenes." Mama Vienna looked into those eyes and held Yasika's hand tightly. "Aren't you related to Kai?"
Hearing the question, Yasika seemed surprised, looked agitated and also nervous.
"Tante thinks __ you and Kai, you have ...?"
"Kai and I have nothing to do with auntie." Sela Yasika was quick along with the look on her face that looked very nervous.
Mama Vienna saw a different reaction when the girl said. Yasika seemed to divert and avoid the gaze of the Vienna mama who was staring at her.
"Oh ... Auntie thinks. Sorry baby, not aunty does not like to see Kai with your brother, aunt is very happy if aunty has found a suitable girl. Aunty hopes that your sister will be the right woman for Kai."
I swear by anything, I'd love it to feel like Yasika is crying right now.
"Whoever the girl, auntie wants, auntie gets a good girl and can accept Kai as he is."
Yasika smiled even though her heart ached.
"May your sister be the woman Kai loves" she said, stroking her soft cheeks. "Showever you hide something, but auntie knows, if you and Kai are hiding their feelings."
That instant also Yasika felt if her heart felt like being dislodged from its place. "Auntie ... " Yasika said so softly.
Mama Vienna smiled. "Honey, auntie knows that the girl your son loves is you."
The head shook. "Tante was wrong, the one Kai loves was Anne's sister, not me."
"Tante himself was also confused, why did Kai get like that? Aunty was afraid __ "he paused his sentence while staring fixedly at the girl's face.
"Fear why Auntie?" Yasika asked confusedly.
"Lately, auntie's seen Kai so differently, he's changed since Amel died." Mama Vienna explained with a hand that could not be separated tightly grasping the girl's hand. "Tante is afraid .. if Kai will only hurt your brother. Aunty is afraid, if Kai doesn't really love your sister." she said back while staring at the girl.
"What does aunt mean? there is no way auntie, I see that brother Kai really loves sister Anne" Yasika explained.
"Tante hopes it's like that too." Mama Vienna's hand grips are getting tighter. "Darling, do you love Kai, auntie's son?"
Deg
Yasika's heart throbbed pain upon hearing that sentence just popped out of the middle-aged woman's mouth.
"Love?"
"Hm ..." Mama Vienna nodded. "Do you love Kai?" reset back.
Yasika who was unable to answer was silent as she closed her eyes tightly.
"I can't love Kai's brother."
"Why?"
Yasika opened her eyes, then looked at the middle-aged woman.
"Because ___ "
Because there's no way I love my sister-in-law.
