Eps. 29. Rilly Not Lucky Brill
Brill quickly changed his mood, now he lost enthusiasm for anything. Om Markus was very understanding when he saw his foster children for several hours did not come out of his room. Usually Brill will confine himself in his music studio and vent to play music if something disturbs his heart, but in this big and luxurious house in South Jakarta he does not have such a room.
“Nak Brill..”
There is no reason, om Markus noticed the body that seems to have not stopped growing, maybe the height has increased by a few more cm, already not at the figure of 177 cm. On the bed, the white legs are smooth and look very long it is a little moving sign the owner is not sleeping soundly.
When Markus knew the cause, Rilly refused to meet. He's been able to figure that out since Rilly never gave me his home address. Everything that happened to Brill seemed to have gone unnoticed, and he always felt what Brill felt.
“Nak Brill, oma has been waiting for Bril from last afternoon, he said he wanted to come to PRJ... This is afternoon, you know how the traffic jam Jakarta at this hour? But Kasian loh oma Susan has been waiting a long time.”.
Brill flinch, the prone position has always been his way of venting the baldness on his bed.
Om Markus breathed a sigh of concern, his foster only some time just looks like a normal man who has the power to enjoy life, so excited to come to this big city. Even for the sake of coming here, being the only reason he went for the self-selection, the last selection to enter college at Sam Ratulangi University last week. Enrolling on the last day, the last hour, becomes the last prospective student to verify the data, even though his own om who became the rector.
The name of the famous university is taken from the name of his great-grandfather according to the story of his papi first, certainly because he is a multidimensional figure who is one of the figures who concerns about education problems, education, but one of his great-grandchildren only made it an excuse to continue school because he wanted to meet a girl.
“Brill..”
Oma Susan now went into the big room of the guy, the conversation with Markus who was a little telling the condition of his grandson made him go up to the second floor of this house.
“So come with oma? He said he wanted to find a tool for your studio..”.
Om Markus leaves this handsome boss room, making room for Susan to speak from heart to heart, hope that Susan oma becomes solace for her foster children who continue to exist in vulnerable and fragile conditions.
It turns out that wealth, parents who are famous and have a noble and important position, is not so meaningful and not a source of happiness or a source of satisfaction handsome foster children and have a posture much higher than him.
A very ordinary girl could even be said to be not beautiful at all even with her deformed face was precisely the source of Brill's happiness, hence, it was, Brill is immediately discouraged and may even be heartbroken when Rilly refuses to meet, although the relationship is still too premature to be called a close relationship.
In the room.Oma Susan sat on the edge of the bed and began rubbing the back of her beloved granddaughter with hands that began to wrinkle and began to many brown and white spots. Oma didn't speak anymore, she just wanted Brill to feel her presence in the moment Brill was upset.
Suddenly Brill got up and sat cross-legged on the bed.
“Oma..”
“Iya?”
Brill toyed with his own fingers, his head lowered only to pay attention to his fingers. Then a moment later…
“We're home..”
“Our ticket tomorrow the day after, Brill.. yesterday you asked us to postpone another day, Deisi has changed our ticket, then now instead ask to go home sooner....the time we reschedule the ticket again?”
“Udah there is no point in me here, oma..”.
Brill's hoarse and powerless voice, makes Susan feel sorry for her grandson, the other grandchildren rarely meet but they have different personalities, they are very different, they are very independent and have a purpose. Two children of his son Manuel are now studying abroad. So did the three children of his son Dicky, it felt like everything was setting life for the future.
And the only granddaughter of her daughter's marriage, Ingrid, was just the opposite. It seemed like Brill's circumstances and personality were the weakest among all his grandchildren.
“Your mom tonight is here, we want to have a family tomorrow. This is because we postpone a day to go home so the mind wants us all to gather, we haven't been family together for a long time so oma take this opportunity.”
Oma then continued because her grandson was still sitting down, not reacting to anything…
“Om Dicky and aunt Katrine are so busy and never come home from Manado again. Well... coincide om Manuel there is an event in the ministry, so oma ask all to come to Jakarta once we meet.... You also have not seen your cousins long, right?”
Oma spoke softly in a calm voice and with regular and non-rushing sentences. Brill didn't answer.
“Oma kangen other grandchildren oma, all already big and stay away from oma. Now everyone is on college holiday, so everyone goes back to Indonesia. so I want to see them..”.
Brill glanced at Susan at a glance and then looked back at his own hands. He and his cousins used to be quite familiar when everyone was still living in Manado and when they were all elementary school students, but now meeting them might feel foreign.
“We go home according to the ticket, yes Brill? Today we cancel to PRJ, it is already afternoon.”.
Brill still has no voice. Oma Susan stood up and rubbed Brill's head for a moment and walked out of the room.
When Markus came in again to replace Susan, he was still worried about the small but tall boss.
“Om, we three go home tomorrow, buy another ticket, use my ATM.”.
“Nak Brill.. tomorrow there is an event here, aunt Rina will help oma cook...”.
“Many other ART om, aunt Rina the task is not that right?”
“Ahh, um.. but I want to go home now. We both go home, I don't want to be here anymore.”
Brill's tone changed this because his mood, anger and disappointment and sadness mixed into one. Brill is not someone who is tough, he is not strong to deal with this kind of situation.
“Nak Brill... oma Susan wants all the families gathered here, and all have agreed, Bierna and her sisters have arrived in Jakarta, just called oma… bril's childhood is clearly already here even home Manado..”
“Don't force me om!”
Brill is adamant he doesn't want to change his decision.
“Nak Brill... om not pushy, om just explain the desire of Susan.”.
This time Brill did not argue.
“Nak Brill is more fortunate than other cousins, can stay with ora Susan all this time, can eat artificial food oma, can feel affection and attention oma. According to om, Brill's son is most dear to you, so it should be Brill's son who should be the first to support the desire of Susan… it's a rare moment and oma wants all the children-grandsons of oma to come together..”.
Brill only glanced briefly but did not fight against Markus anymore. He understands very well about the words of Markus, he feels the affection for her is very large, also undeniable if about the attention of Susan for him.
“Down meal first, since lunch have not eaten loh..”
When Markus came out, he could be sure that after being reminded of his biological needs, Brill would go down to the basement for food, as sad or sad as anything, Brill just postpones the meal and will eat more.

“Rilly..”.
“Ya aunt..”
Rilly who came out of Betsy's oma room stopped in the dining room because of Isye's aunt's call. Aunty Isye and Om Armando also had their son eating something, instead of dinner just a light snack it seems, the meal hours are long over.
“Mami is asleep?”
“Iya aunt, oma now has more hours of sleep.. usually oma just slept before dawn, now no later than twelve oma already asleep.”.
“Iya.. aunt knows it, upside down now right, mami's dawn has awakened..”.
“Iya aunt..”
“Why can't you be contacted? Last afternoon auntie how many times called you... Did your phone break? Dina said you didn't bring your phone to school..”.
“Eh.. sorry aunt, Rilly likes to forget that Rilly has hp. Hpnya not broken really, Rilly did not turn on.”
Aunt Isye smiled, at least she understood the condition of Rilly who just had his own communication tools most needed by humanity, maybe not yet accustomed. But in the day Rilly was a little afraid of lying, she did deliberately not turn on her phone for some reason.
“Sit here yuk, Rilly... You're not sleepy yet right? Tomorrow Saturday you do not go to school.we just chat first yes.”.
Rilly was stunned, surprised to be invited to sit with the family. With aunt Isye he was used to it, not awkward anymore, but here there is an Armando om who is still flat-faced to him, and there is Fernando's brother who was also not too friendly before. Rilly is so sad.
“Ayo Ril, sitting next to Brother Ando aja..”
With a sense of awkwardness that bewitched Rilly staring at Aunt Isye, om Armando alternately.
“Ehh, ah should Rilly ride aja aunt... Rilly does not want to disturb...”.
“Ril, you ti..”
Aunt Isye did not continue her sentence because under the table her husband's leg Armando nudged his leg. When he looks up he can see her husband doesn't like it, and Rilly sees it.
“Rilly excuse me, Rilly will rest.. good night...”.
On the last rung of stairs Rilly stopped, she still heard Armando's grumbling against Isye's aunt. The fact that Armando's dislike and suspicious attitude towards her makes Rilly grateful that she does not serve Brill's wishes.
With Rilly in his room, there is no medicine to be disappointed by the fact that life is not as lucky as others.
