I Love You Brother

*Episode 44

However, Yola quickly brushed off the memories that made her heart ache again. He took his eyes off the gods.

"What's wrong?" yola asked in a faint tone that sounded very cold touching the heart of God.

"Papa .. I mean, you're waiting for everything at the dinner table. You are the only one who has not come."

"Oh."

The super short answer that God first got after a long time together with his adopted sister. That answer caused her heartache. Because all this time, the one named Yola was never this indifferent. Especially when talking to him.

Yola wanted to move past the god with a casual face. But, the God who felt bad about all of Yola's mannerisms, immediately restrained Yola's hand quickly.

"Yolan, wait!"

Yola looked at the hand that the God was holding. Then, with a sharp look, he looked at the face of the God.

"What else is it? Have I not obeyed what the Lord said? Go to the dinner table right now."

"I want to apologize to you, Yolan."

"Sorry for what?"

"It was a mistake I made yesterday. I'm mistaken. I .... "

"That's it. No need to talk about that anymore. I've forgotten it."

"You forgot everything?"

"Yes. Wh why? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

The originally happy god is now back moody. He lowered his face when he heard Yola's words.

"You forgot everything, but you didn't forgive me, Yolan. That's the sign, you're still mad at me. You can't forgive me."

"Is my apology very important to you, Lord?"

"Oh, wait! I know what you want to do. You apologize to me, keep saying that you will learn to accept our status. Then ... You'll hurt me after talking to your sweet words. You are amazing, Lord."

"Yolan .... "

"Enough, brother God. I'm human. I have limits to my heart. I will never beg for love again from someone who does not want to love me. I don't need a pretense that's just gonna cover up a lie."

'Even though the truth is, I still very much expect you to really love me, brother. But, this pain and disappointment still felt strong in the heart. Sorry, I have to be rude to you.'

Yola immediately took off her hand that the God was holding. He left the silent God after those words he said.

'Yolan. You really are angry with me. You said I was just pretending? I'm not pretending, Yolan.'

'I'll prove that what I said that night was true. I will learn to love you with all my heart. I will maintain this relationship. I will fight for you even if you don't expect me to be by your side.'

The god immediately followed Yola's steps towards the dining table. After all the families gathered, they immediately discussed the birthday of Yola who only stayed a few days longer.

"So baby, what kind of birthday party do you want, to celebrate your twentieth birthday this year?" brian asked, smiling at his daughter.

"Yes, Honey. Let's say! What party do you want? Luxurious? Magnificently? Or ... very luxurious and magnificent. If so, should we invite everyone in the city to attend?" opa David was very enthusiastic.

"Oh, opa. Not ah. I don't want a fancy, grand party. I want a simple party. And also, don't want to invite people to one city. Just want to invite the closest people."

"Mm .. opa, papa, mom. Can I ask you one thing?"

"Yes my darling. Let alone one thing, all things will follow. Opa promises can, then opa will do what you ask."

"I want this birthday party to be celebrated in Zaka's grandfather's flower field. Can I?"

"Zaka Grandpa? Where's the flower field?" ask Kania quickly.

"The field is in the village of Mekar, precisely in .... "

"De-village ... Blooming?" kania asked somewhat surprised.

"Yes, mama. Mekar Village. Where I went yesterday with Zaka."

"No! Can't do. You can't celebrate birthdays in that village."

"Why, Ma? Is something wrong?"

"Any no! Don't ask too many questions, Yola. Mama won't let you celebrate your twentieth birthday there."

"But, Ma .... "

"Yola! No!"

Kania moved from her seat. He left the table without finishing his meal first. Yola was puzzled by the attitude of her mother, who for the first time she had behaved so strangely in defiance of Yola's simple request.

"Mrs .... "

"Yola, already. You just continue eating it. Let papa talk to your mama now."

Brin immediately followed Kania to the room. Meanwhile, Yola could only stare at her papa's departure in confusion.

"Opa .. Why this? Is there something wrong with my request?" yola asked with a sad face and tone.

"There's nothing wrong, honey. It's just about your mom's past. Don't think about it. Opa sure, your papa must be able to persuade your mama. You take it easy, you can definitely celebrate your birthday where you want."

"I don't want to celebrate my birthday there anymore, Opa. If you don't allow it, then I won't force it. But .. I just want to know why. Opa can tell me that reason. About the past what?"

"Sorry, Sweetheart. Opa doesn't know much about the matter. You can ask your dad if you want to know. Opa only knows the important points, son."

Yola remained silent. Curiosity is controlling his heart now. But, he had to endure it because his opinion was not able to explain clearly what problems his mother experienced.

"Already, sweetheart. Come eat the food. Time is just to be seen."

"I don't have an appetite, Opa. I'll just go to the room."

"Lho but .... "

"Let Yolan alone first, Opa. He needs time to be alone, like."

"Don't call me opa. Because I'm not your opa" David said in an annoyed tone as he moved along.

In the main room, Brian touched Kania's shoulder gently. Kania, who was lying on the bed facing the wall, was crying while hugging the bolster tightly.

"Darling .... "

"Pa. Do you know how I feel right now? I fear. I am very sad and miss that village very much. But .... "

"Kania, baby. I know how you feel. I understand how you feel right now. But, baby .. You can't be like this to Yola. He's not wrong, honey."
