Andi heard the typical sound of a train engine. The young man was now preparing at the passenger exit of the train. In this way, Amira will be easier to find. Not long after, there were footsteps from some people walking closer towards the exit.
Andi straightened his body, the young man wanted to make his body as easy as his younger brother could see. Its height of 176 cm makes it easier to do that. Not long after, a girl walked with quick steps towards him. The girl then threw her body into Andi's body.
Soon Andi catches the girl who turns out to be Amira so that her sister does not fall. Andi could hear a sobbing from Amira who was now in his arms.
“Udah is not crying that way.” Andi calmed his little sister.
Amira seemed not to listen to Andi's words, the girl was still crying instead, now she more tightened her embrace to Andi. Seeing that, Andi just took a deep breath and let his sister cry as much as she could.
The young man did not care about the few pairs of eyes that were now looking at him and Amira. What he hugged was his own brother. And again, she just hugged Amira without doing anything else. So, Andi did not care about the curious views of the people around him.
Three minutes later, Andi felt her sister loosen her arms. It seemed that his sister was quite satisfied crying. Andi lowered her head looking at Amira who was now rubbing her nose into Andi's shirt to remove her snot.
Andi just laughed softly at that. He doesn't dispute this. He could change clothes after this. The most important thing now was that Amira had calmed down and was not crying anymore.
“We're going to Brother's place yes. We'll talk there.”
…
Amira noticed the building the online taxi driver was heading to. If not, this is an apartment building. Does your brother live in an apartment? Why does her sister live here?
There were many questions that Amira wanted to ask Andi, but, the girl held her back. It is better that he ask this after they arrive at Andi's residence. At least there will be more closed and no one else will hear their conversation.
Amira just followed her brother to the elevator without saying much. The girl saw the elevator they were riding on would take them to the tenth floor. While in the elevator, Amira heard her brother speak.
“Sister knows you have many questions for sister. But, we will talk later when we arrive at the apartment that my sister lives in.” Obviously Andi.
“Yes I know Kak.”
“You've had breakfast?” It's still early enough. The young man wasn't sure Amira had filled her stomach this morning. Sure enough Andi saw his sister shake her head.
“Then you have breakfast first. There are bread and cereals, so you can choose what breakfast you want.”
“Good sister.”
When he reached the tenth floor, Andi led his sister step towards his apartment. “Come in, what do you want for breakfast?”
“Sereal by Kak.”
Amira looked around the room. The furniture in this apartment Amira believes is not cheap. The girl also saw some equipment for making the video in the living room of the apartment. He believes the price of this apartment is quite expensive. Although not buying it, renting it also requires considerable money. This further adds to the question that Amira wants to ask from her brother.
“Eat first.” Andi thrust a bowl of cereal at Amira. While Amira eats her food, Andi gives a little explanation to Amira about this apartment.
“This apartment is Brian's. I live here now. And those tools, I'm now a content creator for Ourtube. Brian and I will also be opening shops and cafes here. So, in the future I will have a halal income.”
“I know mom asked you here to make sure that I was okay. You can see for yourself that at this time brother is fine.”
“What did I hear from dad is true Brother? That brother who beat up friends Brother that?” asked Amira on the sidelines to eat it.
“I didn't do it. You know for yourself it's not if this brother isn't that close to Om Burhan. Even when I was in a family gathering I never talked to Om Burhan other than just saying hello. How can I now suddenly get close to Om Burhan.”
“As long as I was in Surabaya, not once did I meet Om Burhan. I don't know where Om Burhan's house is. Even I don't have contact from Om Burhan. If so, how can I relate to Om Burhan.”
The apartment is now quiet. The two brothers no longer spoke. All that was heard was the clinking sound of Amira's spoon clashing with the bowl. “I believe really with the greeting Brother.” Amira said after they fell silent for a while.
Hearing this, Andi felt very relieved. At least one of his family members believed his story. This means there are still family members who know well how Andi really is.
“I also believe that Brother did not do all father and mother accuse. Although Mother also said that Sister admitted if Brother had done gambling, I also do not believe it.” said Amira by looking fixed into Andi's eyes.
Andi gave her widest smile to Amira. “Thanks. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for understanding how I really am.”
“Of course I trust you, sister. I'm your favorite sister. Of course I trust you.”
“So, what time are you coming home?” ask Andi.
“I'll be home tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow the school is off, he said the teachers have a big meeting, so I don't go to school. Mom already let me stay at Sister's place.” Amira.
“Ah, apparently you have a holiday tomorrow? I don't know that. But is it not a problem for you to stay? I mean, wouldn't you be mad if you found out you were staying at my place?”
“My father went to Grandma's house in Kediri. Fortunately, the train I was riding came along with the train that was going to Kediri. So, I can fool dad.” Amira.
“Ah so it is.”
Andi didn't think that her sister would fool their father like that. It seems, mislead parents are already flowing on their family genes. Andi misled his parents about the origin of his money, while Amira, his sister, tricked his father by saying go to Kediri when in fact went to Surabaya.
“If you want to stay, you can choose one of the rooms here. There are still two empty rooms in this apartment.”
“There are still two empty rooms? How many rooms are there in this apartment?”
“There are three rooms. The main room I've been wearing. You can choose another room. It's smaller than the main room, but it's a little bigger than your room at home.”
“Kakak use main room? Wouldn't that be in Brian's suit? This is Brian's apartment. If such as Brother Brian here later, will sleep where he if the main room is occupied?” Ask Amira curious.
Andi flicked one hand. “Take it easy. No need to think about Brian. He slept in his own apartment. Brian's apartment is right in front of my apartment. So, Brian will not stay here.” Andi clearly did not pay attention to his words.
Amira who heard Andi's explanation seemed to be frowning right now. He suddenly placed suspicion on his brother after hearing all of that. Like there was something strange and less fitting than what Amira heard.
If this apartment really belonged to Brian, why didn't the young man live here? Why is he living in the front apartment? Does Brian have two apartments? That could happen. But, usually the rich prefer to have several apartments in different buildings. Rarely do they have multiple apartments in the same building.
Does this apartment really belong to Brian or someone else? At once Amira thought about everything. It is true that the girl believed her brother did not play gambling, but it has not answered where the money owned by Andi came from.
It was obvious that her brother had excess money. As short as Amira's memory, before her brother had an affair with her parents, she bought things for him and Arfan. According to Amira, her brother is not the type of person who will spend all his money to buy things for others.
Although Amira knows her brother likes to save, but the savings are definitely not that much. If so, where did the money come from? Is that all Brian? Or is there someone else who gave the money to Andi?
