JUDITH
BROTHER LIUS



" ... Dith ... Agate ... Agate ... Yudith!"


"Huh?"


Finally Yudith responded. For a moment the exotic brown-skinned girl looked dazed, staring confusedly at Ririsma who had just called out to her.


"Called the picket officer on visit."


The call was addressed to Yudith's sister, the first class of the Flamboyant homestead. Immediately to the visiting room A, his guest was already waiting!


The sound of the loudspeaker reminded Yudith that today there would be a guest for him. Earlier because of the dreamy preoccupation, he had forgotten about it.


"Sir Heru?" Ririsma raised her eyebrows.


Yudith. "Bruder Lius."


"Tumbent kok?" Sister Vero ignored her father and looked at Yudith in wonder as well.


"Tell me later." Yudith got up from her seat, gave a small nod to her father Sister Vero and stepped outside.


Room A is a room reserved specifically for residents of Yayasan Mulia Harapan to visit each other on holidays. Usually, anyway, those who live in an out-of-prons-come dorm visit a friend or perhaps a girlfriend with the goal of silahturahmi only. In fact, it should only be for non-student employees, but the rules can be a little loose in certain cases. Like this Yudith.


While still walking on the terrace, through the glass wall, Yudith could see two people sitting inside waiting for him. The girl's forehead frowned as she recognized who was sitting next to Brother Lius, Andreas.


As Yudith appeared at the door, as usual, Andreas' cheerful smile immediately greeted. It was basically a cheap Andreas smile, but if in front of Yudith, his smile could be much wider - just looking at the cheeks of Yudith followed ache - plus his eyes as sparkling, sparkling, like a new marble exposed to the sun.


"Come, Dith!" Andreas shifted himself more closely to Brother Lius, as if to give Yudith space to sit, when in fact it was just a reflex motion.


Yudith gave a small nod and shook hands with Brother Lius before finally sitting on the single sofa next to Andreas. Remember, single sofa, yes. So, in vain just now Andreas shifted.


"How are you, Dith?" Burder Lius is very smooth, his gentle smile can make the heart feel shady.


"Good news, Brother."


For a moment the girl glanced at Andreas whose lips seemed to be created to spread a smile that made her face look more charming.


As the test progressed, Yudith could see that smile every day. Because the students also conducted exams in the complex, they automatically met every day.


However, Yudith is still Yudith who is not easy even if just invited to chat and prefers to avoid the crowd. Sitting together is always focused on books.


Yes, at the very least, after one intense week of meeting and before that too had several times of joint practical tasks, Yudith was now not as rigid as before, I smile even though I don't talk.


"Oh yes, Dith," Andreas patted Brother Lius on the shoulder very familiarly, even secretly Yudith felt it was exaggerated, impudent, "Bruder Lius is my brother."


Yudith stared in turn to compare. Deserve similar. It's just that Brother Lius' skin color is lighter and his straight hair is in the middle. Equally handsome, but the charming impression was more dominant in Andreas. This was just a normal reaction, purely a judgement that appeared reflex without any importance whatsoever. 


At a glance, Yudith saw Andreas' fingers still on Brother Lius' shoulder, squeezing. Then, the adult man put his right hand into the jacket pocket and when pulled out already grasped a white envelope folded in half.


"This is taken from Heru."


Yudith did not immediately accept, instead just stared stunned. It could not be a letter, because if there is something to talk about, Mr. Heru will call by phone dormitory.


If it was money, Mr. Heru should have known that Yudith would never accept the gift of money. Yudith himself said. The girl is only willing to receive money if she has provided services. Another question if given in the form of goods, usually toiletries or pastries, Yudith must have received it.


Brothers Lius and Andreas looked at each other. When both of his eyebrows twitched faintly, Andreas replied with a faint slit as well.


A moment later Brother Lius smiled, he remembered Mr. Heru's forgotten message earlier.


"Heru said he had a message written inside."


Tell him there is a message inside if not that, he will not accept the envelope, this is Mr. Heru's message to Brother Lius.


Slowly, Yudith reached out to receive and opened the unadulterated envelope. There was one fifty thousand note, but Yudith only issued a piece of paper with a message.


Finished reading, Yudith raised his face and looked at Brother Lius. "Thank you, Brother.


"Not to worry. Oh yeah, your house is the same Heru house far away, Dith?"


The girl nodded. "Yudith's house is near the market."


"Ooo, it means closer to the highway, yeah." Brother Lius gave a small nod, it seemed like he was quite knowledgeable about the village of Yudith.


Andrew looked at Yudith. He had never seen the girl always in the upright head state she was in today. I usually go down, read books. He also never raised his face when replying.


"Oh yes, Dith. I'm the same Mas Lius would like to stop by Mr. Heru's house, send a deposit for his family. Don't you want to leave something for your parents? Letters maybe."


Mr. Heru who has become the guardian angel of Yudith is indeed from the same village as Yudith, but has long migrated to Malang, precisely now has become a lecturer at the institute owned by Yayasan Mulia Harapan.


Yudith's gaze focused directly on Andreas. Their eyes meet. The stare-to-face action caught the attention of Brother Lius, a thin grin was singled out.


After a while, Yudith turned her eyes. He wanted to leave something, but it was on the fourth floor. It took a while to take it, Yudith was not happy to have to keep them waiting. Finally he shook his head.


Burder Lius smiled shadyly. "Yes, already then, we're saying we're not-yet-"


"Dith, the opportunity didn't come twice, you know." Andreas, who still had not given up, interrupted Brother Lius' sentence. Both of his eyebrows went up and down silly. "You can only go home after the class exam, it's still a long time. Here, there is a free postman without the need to stamp. I'll ask your parents to write a reply directly. When I get back, I'll drop you right here ...."


It's true that Andreas said, they were actually only allowed to go home during the class holidays. Andreas did not return for the holidays, but participated with Brother Lius in Madiun as a messenger of the foundation.


While Andreas was still just staring in silence, Brother Lius scratched his forehead for a bit then rubbed his face using two palms to cover the wide smile that he could not bear. Andreas is actually very stubborn, but does not look stiff because it also often acts silly.


If Andreas already wants something, it will not be easy to retreat. And when he gets it, he'll never waste it.


Yudith was doubtful. "But, I have to go up to the fourth floor du--"


"No pa-pa!" Andreas was so enthusiastic that his chirps were almost like shouts. In a hurry he took off the backpack that had been held on his back, took out a box from inside and handed it to Yudith. "Here, make you!"


Calluses. Yudith could see that the contents of the box were cakes which during the trials Andreas always brought as souvenirs for him, as well as Sister Vero and Ririsma.


"Thank you, An." After receiving the box containing the klepon, Yudith immediately said goodbye.


When the figure of Yudith was no longer visible, Brother Lius immediately released a laugh that had almost made his throat feel almost exploded.


Instead of being ridiculed, Andreas seemed relaxed. "Young too, right?" she said sarcastically, leaning her back on the sofa.


"I thought you went to school here because you wanted to be a Brother too."


"Tsk, yes, no. My mother had only two children. If the two become monks, break off their line."


Andreas chuckled while punching his brother's arm, Brother Lius replied by ruffling his hair.


"I don't forbid you to like Yudith or anyone, but you must remember the rule-"


"Yes, yes, yes .. I remember."


The familiar atmosphere was deeply felt between the two. In a casual chat sometimes interspersed with jokes, Brother Lius slipped advice for his only puppet sister. And their excitement was interrupted when Yudith returned.


The girl left an envelope that looked quite thick because it was money. Yes, the money made from doing small jobs, he collected and indeed his intentions would be sent to the mother.


Once inside the foundation cars that Brother Lius-Andreas is driving himself, he stares out the window. He was thinking, since when did the curiosity in his heart become this severe?


Because of the necklace with a heart pendant, meeting Yudith feels like magic, and the girl's unique personality makes her curious.


However, the more he got here, Andreas felt that Yudith always seemed simple and what it was was was getting special. Instead of glancing at the students whose faces are more attractive, Andreas actually increasingly intense to pay attention to the quiet super cute girl.
