The two women sat facing each other, so Laras decided to step aside and call her husband
Baras : Yes, I was just advised by teacher BK Arkan, just said if the score up to 100 was immediately expelled from the school, oh yes Aryan how?
Andi: well, he asked to sleep with me, go home to school also asked me to pick me up
Laras laughed at her husband's story
Barrel: not fussy right? I want to ask permission to go home on Sunday
Andi: why? Long time
Laras: tomorrow Mr. Rahmat's son wants a proposal, it's not good if I go home
Andi: can you Thursday why should it be until Sunday?
Baras : ahhhhh baby, I also want me time, please, Aryan mumpung same as you
The woman sulked to her husband
Andi: okay okay no need to sulk like that, your voice torments me
Laras laughed and hung up, looking at Lydia and Maya who were talking together
****
"So you know who Rea is?" ask Lydia
Maya nodded
"I didn't know we could meet in such a complicated situation" Lidia looked back to make sure there were no reporters there
"It must be difficult to be chased every time, not if rumored, do not have privacy"
Lydia smiled at Maya's words
"But the money is a lot" the woman joked, which made Maya smile
"I heard you're married to a prosecutor? Is your life happy"
"I'm happy, my husband is Mas Banyu, he's a good man, even he accepts the Eagle who is not his real son, treats him like his real son"
Maya looked at Lydia, hesitant to ask "how Farhan is doing, I heard she's sick"
"His kidneys are broken, you know after he parted with you that he only does drinks, seeing him come home drunk is my daily meal as his wife, he said, he just stopped drinking, yeah, about the time Rea was 6 years old, I also don't know what the reason why he could stop "
Maya just kept silent her face showed no expression.
"Don't you want to tell your son who's his real father?"
"Elang already knew that he was not Mas Banyu's biological son, we told him, but we did not say who his real father was"
"Look and my daughter came, wanted to tell your son that he was his father's son, you know that at first my late father-in-law asked Rea to find an Eagle to donate his kidney"
Maya nods "Rea's already told"
"It doesn't make any sense at all, but it's quiet that right now Farhan is going to XX to have surgery, he's got a kidney donor from his papa" Lydia said
"It's not about the donor I gave" Maya said
"Then what?" Lydia was curious
"Elang seems to like Rea, what if she knows Rea is her sister?"
"That's also what I'm afraid of, because Rea also seems to like the Eagle, seeing him not as a big brother" said Lydia
The two women fell silent, one leaning on the back of the chair and the other looking away from the window
****
Rea takes Arkan to the park near the school. They sit in the security seat.
"Do you know that the Eagle is not my brother?"
"Hem.."
"If I'm not a father's son, then me and the Eagle have no blood relation, right?"
"Yes" replied Arkan who had been looking at the girl beside him, wondering what she really wanted to convey
"Why do you let me if I'm going out with the Eagle?" Rea looked at Arkan's face but didn't dare look him in the eye
Suddenly Arkan was surprised how could the girl innocently ask him the thing that really made him hurt
"Although you're siblings if you like each other, what can I do?"
"Not that I don't like you, I really like you, so I can't make you a girlfriend at all, because I'm sure that if we break up we'll definitely stretch, I don't want to lose you"
"You don't want to lose me so just want to make me your lifelong friend?" Arkan was getting angry
"If you don't let me, I won't go out with the Eagle"
"You're the most important person Ar has for me"
"Already Re, I already know the essence of your speech, you reject me and prefer the Eagle"
Arkan stood up and left Rea
"Where are you going?"
"Not that you want a new helmet"
Rea smiled, she knew Arkan would definitely not hate her.
****
Lidia and Laras noticed the oddity between their children, who were just speechless or joking with each other as usual. After eating Arkan straight up, Rea looked at Arkan who did not speak at all, then put down his spoon.
While Laras finished eating got a video call from her husband because Aryan said she misses her mother, she leaves in the middle of the room chatting there.
Lydia looked towards Rea
"Did you fight with Arkan?"
"No ma"
Then why are you guys being remanded from earlier
"I'm just saying that Arkan wants to date the Eagle"
Lidia glared at not only Arkan she was also almost angry.
"Re you know your brother's eagle?"
"But the father said I'm not his son ma, so I don't have a blood relationship with Eagle, after all just dating until marriage"
"So you want to go out with Eagle but don't intend to get married?" ask Lydia curiously
"Mama, Rea's only 17 years of marriage might be 9 to 10 years away, is there anyone dating who can be that late?"
"Yes can only Re if the same affection of love is strong, anyways you can be the same Arkan, Arkan, your brother's the Eagle when you ask permission even the same Arkan as if he's your brother instead"
Rea seemed to think about her mother's words, before answering again "i want to be Arkan's lifelong friend ma, I don't want to date her"
Lydia could only sigh.
*****
Arkan is seen playing basketball in the yard, Lidia approaching his best friend's son
"This is auntie's throw"
Arkan then throws the ball towards Lydia, the woman dribbles the ball into the ring, the ball goes in she soars happy.
"Auntie jago too?" praise Arkan
"What aunty try can not" said Lidia jumawa
Closer to Arkan patting the boy on the shoulder "you know, Rea couldn't have dated the Eagle for long"
Deg.., Arkan's chest almost stopped beating
"Didia's aunt knows I'm heartbroken" she whispered inwardly
"Why aunt?" ask Arkan curiously
"Because she's Rea's sister"
Arkan was shocked to hear Lydia's words
"Tante can give you a 100% guarantee and also aunty sure Rea actually likes you"
"Where can aunty..." Arkan hasn't finished his sentence yet
"She said she wanted to be your friend for life, you know? a lifelong friend means she wants you to be her partner"
"Pair ?" Arkan still doesn't understand
"She doesn't want to date you, she wants you to be her husband"
"What??" Arkan was shocked but at the same time happy
"Submit to your aunt, the school that really became a successful person, 9 or 10 years later marry her"
"Serious aunt?"
"Didn't you say that to your mom?"
Arkan's face instantly changed, for some reason he felt happy, and decided to let Rea do what he said last afternoon.
"Sometimes we have to give up on winning" whispered Lydia as she walked into the house. Leaving the flowery Arkan in the midst of his death.
