If You Love

Eps. 16. Be Sure Now

Brill doesn't need a beautiful girl or an attractive look, Brill just needs someone who can understand him.

A person who can move his soul so that he finds another expression of life, someone who can walk together because it fills each other and fulfills the desires of the heart, a person who can share a long groan and moan is restrained in the depths of the trough of hearts, so that a life of disappointment, a somber atmosphere, coldness and lack of affection is replaced by beauty and... there might even be love.

Brill presses the bell home. The drift inside the house could be heard by Brill. Waiting for a while, Brill again pressed twice so that the sound was longer.

Door's open...

"Brill?"

"Yes me..."

Brill smiled awkwardly, and Rilly looked at Brill with round eyes. In a few moments both lost the word, the tongue can not be moved to be able to say something. The two of them stood facing each other just looking at each other.

Like a mirage, Rilly looked at Brill, closing his eyes a few times but the guy with the hair now left to gondrong reach his shoulder still stood there. The sunglasses that accentuated her bangir nose were now removed, so that Rilly could instantly stare in Brill's eyes.

The distance is not up to two meters so that Rilly can see clearly Brill's face in front of him. The same thing Brill did, those black eyes with clear and firm eye creases while observing the gawking face of Rilly, something unknown to him entered slowly and began to seep in his chest... I don't know what, but he's obviously happy to see Rilly now.

"Ehh. hi..."

Brill said it was still in awkwardness.

"Ehh. yeah... Brill find who?"

Rilly was just as awkward. Brill doesn't answer, but Brill's index finger points at Rilly.

"Rilly?"

Rilly asked in disbelief, his hand following now, his index finger pointing at himself with a look turned in astonishment.

"Yes..."

"Brill, what does Rilly need?"

Rilly said that sentence with a feeling of amazement because this moment was real, his heart started pounding.

"Ehh? There's. but..."

"Who is Rilly? Why wasn't he told to come in?"

A woman's voice coming from the inside cut off Brill's words.

"Ehh.. This aunt is Rilly's friend..."

Rilly glanced at Brill while saying the word friend, she was not sure about it yet but she did not know what to introduce Brill as.

"Guided in. sat in the front room. time was told to stand up, the front door again..."

Aunt Isye said with a light smile to Brill. He was about to enter but was restrained by his sister's voice...

"Brill? Come on in, let's go in... Rilly you're not polite to leave Brill at the door..."

His voice was sniffling at Rilly but Aunt Ine was like a joy to recognize the figure who was visiting early in the morning. Aunt Ine came out past Rilly and was about to grab Brill's hand, but firmly avoiding Brill, her two hands she folded locked behind her body with one step moving backwards.

Brill also kept silent about not greeting Aunt Ine. She is uncomfortable now let alone being asked to go inside, but Mark's om message and desire to talk to Rilly make her hold her heart.

"Brill.. Come in first, there's Manda inside. come on..."

Aunt Ine was disturbed by Brill's attitude but still smiled kindly.

"I need Rilly..."

Brill said flatly, precisely and without pleasantries.

"Ohh??"

Why should I look for Rilly?

Aunt Ineke changed her facial water while still maintaining her modesty. This he faced with the regent's son, he had to maintain his attitude. In his position is a political position, if one misbehaves Brill could have complained to his mama and it could be a threat to his position, aunt Ine had no idea how much Brill was fed up with everything about her mama's job and position, which she cared about as much as Aunt Ine feared.

On the other hand, there is a sense of annoyance felt by Aunt Ine because Brill does not want to meet her son Manda.

"I want to take Rilly out..."

Brill repeated again with eyes looking at Rilly who was quite shocked.

Brill wasn't wrong to take me on the road?

"Sorry, I'm so sorry Brill.. but Brill came early in the morning, Rilly still has the same obligation ora Betsy... he can not be invited to go.. how about accompanied by Manda aja first?"

Aunt Ine answered very sweetly with an attitude that was more than sweet. Brill who saw that snorted imperceptibly, a sense of annoyance immediately burst forth. Brill stared intently not wanting to serve Aunt Ine.

Another aunt's voice sounded. Brill nodded, he felt this one a little different.

Aunt Isye approached and stood side by side with Rilly, she was called to interfere after noticing since earlier especially because of her sister's attitude, she also understood something once seeing Brill and Rilly.

"Rilly can go... Rilly there change clothes... Have you taken a shower, right?"

"Yes..."

Rilly answered Aunt Isye with a soft voice and scared mimic. Since aunt Isye came unceasingly the two brothers had a big fight, about inheritance, about this house, about the use of money ora Betsy, about the way aunt Ine takes care of oma Betsy... and Rilly was suddenly worried this time that they were fighting because of her.

Sure enough, the aura of Aunt Ine instantly changed.

"Sye?"

Almost aunt Ine exploded again, sister competition about who is more entitled now spread to many things, including who is more entitled to regulate Rilly. But Aunt Ine soon realizes Brill is here. As he sat down with Brill, Brill's sharp eyes made him feel like he was feeling a threatening look from the regent's mother to be demoted now.

"Eh.. well Brill.. please.. but while waiting for Rilly to come in first..."

Aunt Ine walked in, previously staring hostilely at her brother. Aunt Isye ignored, seeing the attitude of Brill who just stood stiff in his room, Aunt Isye smiled.

"Brill.. Here aja, aunty accompany you..."

Aunt Isye was sitting on a patio chair, her hand pointing at another chair. For the sake of courtesy and gratitude that this aunt has given permission to Rilly, Brill sits there.

"What's Brill's price?"

"Ratulangi..."

"Oh... his aunt Ratulangi, the James, his wife Inggrid, is still a brother? They're from here, too..."

"They're my parents, aunty..."

"Wow.. meet his son Inggrid and James finally..."

"Tante knows my papi mami?"

"Know.. but not close friends.we both used to be at the Nyong-Noni Sulut, aunty more senior. Aunty used to only win the Favorite Noni category, but James is the same Inggred they are both the best, aunty has not been active in the city for a long time..."

Brill smiled thinly, only now interacting with people about mami papi and did not offend their position at all.

"Brill..."

Manda came with a face full of smiles. Brill only glanced for a moment and did not return either a greeting or a smile. Aunt Isye saw that the giraffe kept her smile. He did not like this, his spoiled character like an arrogant princess in this house, liked to make him hustle. Aunt Isye has a daughter too, but she educates her son to know the customs and have good manners.

Aunt Isye kept Brill talking until Brill got sidetracked from Manda completely. The unconcealed Manda finally went inside while stomping his feet.

Rilly appeared later. Fortunately she had decent clothes, Aunt Isye brought a lot of clothes for her daughter's girlhood, after getting married and giving birth to her size changed. It was for Manda but changed after Manda said she did not want to accept used clothes, although expensive, fashionable, and still very decent wear. Rilly who has never bought another shirt since Oma Betsy is helpless, like getting a durian crumble.

"Are you ready for Rilly?"

"Yes..aunty..."

Brill stood.same taste since from the official house is still mastering it, his hands are still sweating cold, switched for a moment when Aunt Isye casually invited him to speak. Now the feeling came stronger, as strong as the pleasure that approached it.

"Let's Ril..."

Brill looked at Rilly who also looked tense, like himself.

"Rilly.. enjoy your time yes. don't rush home, there is a aunt who takes care of oma... Brill on Rilly ya.. take your time..."

"Yes aunt..."

Brill nodded respectfully.

"Don't be afraid of Aunt Ine, it's aunt's business, okay?"

Aunt Isye whispered in Rilly's ear then left the two of them with a smile.

"We're walking now..."

Brill's voice rang out then he walked towards the car ahead of Rilly. Rilly followed with a variety of questions in his head.Why would Brill come to him? Why would Brill take her out? Brill what's the need for what exactly? And a series of other questions.but along with all the questions in his head, in his heart there is one warmth that spread, it is not wrong if he can be sure now, they are both friends...
