If You Love

Eps. 23. Kangen

Rilly looked from the window grille in her room on the second floor, some time here she felt a life confined to the wall.

The house is quite large but with a narrow courtyard, a fence towering nearly three meters high, can only look out onto the street from the second floor. All doors to the outside are always locked.

The owner of this house was not home all day. Aunt Isye and her husband Om Armando have their own businesses. Automatic throughout the day Rilly and Oma are just with three ART people and a nurse who takes care of Betsy's oma. Isye's aunt's children already had their own place to live. Fiorenza the oldest married child has one child, now waiting for the birth of the second child, his house is still a complex but only comes here on Sundays. Fernando the youngest son is starting his own business living in one of the apartments owned by Aunt Isye.

Rilly's life here can be said to be better than ever. As promised Aunt Isye the first thing Aunt Isye did for her was to operate on her lips. He had passed the first stage of the operation to correct the cleft of his lips. There is still one more stage, which is to disguise the scar so that the lips up to the bottom of the nose will look normal. But it's still waiting for some time.

And most importantly, Isye's aunt has put her in a Private High School, armed with a transfer letter taken care of by her aunt Irma, from her native High School. It's okay to repeat the important twelfth class can finish High School, there is even a promise he will be lectured.

Dina, the nurse who took care of Betsy's oma opened the door to her room.

"Rilly.. please accompany oma for a moment. I want to buy a quota in front of the complex..."

"Yes sis..."

Rilly came out of the room and went down to the oma room downstairs.

"Oma where is it?"

"In the bedroom.in the bed..."

It's nine o'clock at night, Betsy's oma's sleeping hours are long. Rilly opened the door and immediately smiled at the oma.

Here he had his own room, the room of former aunt Isye's son who was called Ando because he never stayed here again, in contrast to the eldest daughter who is usually called Oyen, who is the oldest daughter, at any time still like to stay because the room can not be used by others.

And Rilly did feel a different treatment, which was more humane than when he was in Amurang, he could enjoy many facilities that he had never gotten before. She actually prefers a room with Betsy's oma, but there are nurses who are obliged to keep an eye on the oma for twenty-four hours, while Betsy's oma room is not very big, either, can only be filled with single-sized double bed stacking as well as a wardrobe and a small table. The large room is actually in the upper room, below here only the main room is a large Aunt Isye room.

"Rilly.. oma feels uneasy here..."

Only a week ifa Betsy can enjoy being here, after which she always complains, almost every day.

"Why oma... here oma is more comfortable right, the needs of oma are guaranteed. so the same deck of aunt Isye..."

"Yes. oma knows, but oma feels cramped here.just look at the walls everywhere, no yard, no place for oma sunbathing..."

In the room oma window directly facing the wall of the house next door, in the living room there is only a view of the high fence wall, which is, there was a dry garden on the front porch of the house but since it was limited to just one small corner, the front was a garage for four Isye cars.

While Betsy oma if in Amurang used to see the green scenery in the spacious yard on the side and back.

"Rilly already told sister Dina, oma used to sunbathe after bathing. said sister Dina on the road ahead can oma. tomorrow sister Dina will do that..."

"But. oma doesn't like their cooking either..."

"Later Rilly cook Manado..."

"No Rilly, not the same, this isn't an oma place. Rilly's just driving oma home, after which Rilly can come back here again because Rilly has to go to school..."

"So who's taking care of you there?"

"Later I asked Sister Anti, rent her services, at home there is Ben with his wife right..."

Oma Betsy mentions one of her grandchildren from Irma who now occupies her home.

"But they're all day in their cafe, oma. Anti sisters are also still in the service at the puskes, it's impossible to take care of the oma..."

"It's okay, most importantly the oma in the oma's own place, in the oma's own house..."

"If the oma came home, Rilly also joined the oma... Rilly won't split up with oma..."

"Don't..."

"Father Rilly's not in school, Rilly wants to continue caring for Oma, Rilly... Rilly also has no one besides oma..."

"Or Rilly canceled school here, moved another school in Amurang?"

"Oma who says her own desire oma same aunt Isye yes..."

"Ise will not agree..."

That's for sure, aunt Isye has said it several times and supported aunt Irma. The issue of asset-sharing oma Betsy is still rolling, aunt Ine who disagrees inhibiting all processes. Disputes remain sharp between the sisters, so Aunty Isye and Aunt Irma make a deal to take their mother to avoid manipulative acts.

Surely in his heart Rilly admits Aunt Isye well, but this is a place that is still unfamiliar and he is still awkward to put himself in the middle of this family, he said, it has not been able to ascertain the extent of their acceptance of his presence here.

Om Arman seems to not care, just look at it and do not show hospitality. Twice Rilly had met Isye's aunt's children, Oyen's sister looked good but didn't seem to like small talk. Brother Ando several times entered this room to pick up items, only a smile in line but did not speak.

"Hp oma rang.. It was probably from the same person, he was looking for you Rilly. This morning Dina who answered when you were at school. replied Ril, you have your own..."

Rilly took oma Betsy's phone, on the phone screen there was a call from a number that was not stored in hp oma, who increasingly contacted looking for him.

"Eh. yes yes..."

Without thinking more because urged oma Betsy Rilly answered the call...

.

📱

"Hello.. Can I talk to Rilly?"

Some second Rilly didn't make a sound, it was Brill. Why Brill intense contact and did not give up even though many times Rilly did not answer, especially after Dina started work and she started school, It was he who answered all the calls that went to the phone or Betsy.

"Hello..."

Across the street, Brill looks at his phone screen, the call is still connected.

"Hello.. I want to talk to Rilly..."

"This is Rilly..."

"Rill... Rill, it's Brill..."

"Yes Brill... Rilly knows..."

The voice across was so enthusiastic, was it happy?... Rilly was actually happy as well but she was too inferior to herself so could not consider this as a natural thing if she was connected to someone... Brill finds himself possible to other ordinary and reasonable people, only a sense of insecure just sticking out when Brill tells his desire to come to see Rilly in Jakarta. Rilly felt unworthy, it was too good and too beautiful to be real for her.

"It's so hard to talk to you, Rill, I've called so many times..."

"Sorry, Brill, this isn't Rilly's phone..."

"Only this number do I know.. Rilly really doesn't have his own phone?"

"Ehh? Ehh... Rilly's got it now..."

"Oh great... What's the number? chat aja huh? Now huh? Let's have a free talk..."

"Ehh?"

"Ril... wa your phone number, ok?"

"Yes..."

.

Rilly closes the call, writes down the number in the chat field and sends it to Brill. He's gambled with everything that's going on, but eventually his own heart is directing his actions, he likes to connect with Brill, that's what's in the heart now.

"Omm... Rilly's going upstairs for a second, yeah, gonna take Rilly's phone..."

"Yes.iya..."

Rilly quickly climbed into the upper room and as he expected his phone had rung, the phone that Aunt Isye had bought for him, was not an expensive phone but it was very valuable for him, the first time he had this thing, he had it, and now it's even more valuable to be her liaison with Brill.

His heart soared when he saw the number he had memorized was in calling mode...

"Yes Brill..."

"Rill. I miss you..."

"Huhh???"
