LOST (Anna)'s

Chapter 25. Family meaning.

"Well, is Brother still home? Isn't today a long shift?" Anna who had just come out of the room was a little stunned, when she found Denis still relaxing at home just wearing a T-shirt and shorts.

"You're off, right? Today, my brother also took a holiday. We're going for a walk, yuk? I think we haven't done it since work in a long time" Denis said without further ado. Although a big smile was on the man's face, but Anna could feel something a little different from her brother, I don't know what it was.

"Tumben. Yesterday Brother was very difficult to be invited to go together. Definitely say it is always tired and want to enjoy the holiday with a fall at home!" chirp Anna.

Denis rattled Anna's hair in a fit of rage. "That's it, yesterday, now it's different."

"That's a big habit, anyway!" anna exclaimed with Denis's snob. However, even so, Anna knew that the fad was a form of Denis' affection for her.

"Okay, we'll take a walk out in the afternoon. Brother must buy me?" todong Anna's.

Denis gave his thumbs up before then re-shuffled his sister's hair with a lot of affection. Unbeknownst to Anna, the man's eyes looked very sad.

...**********...

The first place Denis and Anna visited today was the beach, a place Anna had long coveted. Although their small town has natural attractions and is awarded several beaches, but the girl has never been there.

The atmosphere of the beach when Anna and Denis arrived was not too crowded. Maybe because today is not a holiday. However, it did not at all reduce Anna's feelings of pleasure to enjoy the atmosphere of her vacation this time. In fact, he felt grateful for being able to explore the place more freely.

After rolling out a mat and putting down a basket filled with their lunch, Anna immediately opened her shoes and rolled up her trousers to the knee, to then run towards the sea water. Denis chose to stay there for a moment.

"Sir, here!" edict Anna.

"Later first. Just arrived!" sahut Denis shook his head.

Anna shrugged her shoulders and went back to water play, while Denis watched the girl from afar.

A fistful of fear suddenly appeared, as he recalled his conversation with the father a long time ago.

Yes, the fear of losing Anna, the little sister she loved so much. The affection that Denis has even often makes him forget, that Anna is not his biological sister.

However, there is one thing that Denis is most afraid of at this time, namely Anna's reaction when the girl knows the truth, because sooner or later regardless of the amnesia she has, she has, Ryan will tell Anna.

Can he prevent that from happening? I don't know. One side he even wanted to take Anna away from here, but on the other hand, he didn't want to continue living a lie.

"Sister!"

Denis gasps to find Anna sitting next to him enjoying a bottle of cold lemon.

"Why daydream? I've noticed since, Brother, I think we're not enjoying our vacation? Wh why? If you don't like it, you shouldn't go anywhere, right?" said Anna.

Denis held his seat. "No. I'm just thinking about work a little bit."

Anna frowned. "What happened to the job?" tanyanya.

Denis ruffled Anna's hair while snorting. "You know you! Rather than that, there was one thing I wanted to ask," he said later.

"What?" Anna seemed enthusiastic to change her sitting position to face her sister.

"What does family mean to you?"

"Why?" ask Denis astonished.

"Ck, what's wrong with you guys? Kok, tumben-tumbenan asked me strange things!" said Anna grumbling.

"You guys?" Denis frowned.

"Yes. Mr. Ryan asked me pretty much the same thing. Exactly what this necklace means to me!"

Denis raised his eyebrows high. "The necklace is on you?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, two days ago he gave it back to me. Ah, no, don't talk about him! So, why did Brother suddenly ask such a strange thing?" Anna squinted, looking at Denis deeply as if she was trying to pry something she herself did not know.

Getting such a look from Anna, Denis was wrong. In order to eliminate suspicion, he also made up answers. "No. I was just thinking about my friend. She just found out that she's not the only child in the family."

Anna gasped and looked at Denis with concern. "Looky. Why can?" ask the girl.

"Somehow at first, it was clear he had just been told he wasn't part of the family."

"Then, what does that have to do with the meaning of family that Big Brother meant?" Anna frowned.

"Because to me, the family is not just a blood relation, but more than that." Denis turned his eyes to Anna. "So, what does family mean to you, Anna? And, what if you become my friend?"

Anna remained silent. For some reason, as soon as she saw Denis' eyes, Anna felt that something was stuck in her heart.

"Family is everything to me, and if I were in the position of Big Brother's friend, maybe at first I would be very disappointed and cry a lot. However, what Brother said was true, 'family is not just a blood relation'."

The mood was silent for a moment.

"Aren't you mad at them for hiding everything?" ask Denis again.

Anna sighed and then looked at the expanse of sea water with glaring eyes. "Maybe a little angry. It's only natural, because I'm just an ordinary human being who holds a lot of emotions."

"So conclusion?" Denis seemed curious about Anna's next answer.

Anna was surprised. "What conclusion? This brother is so weird, anyway!"

"Yes the conclusion .. Will you return to your original family or stay with your adoptive family?"

Anna hugged her knees and placed her chin there. "I live with my family now. It would be evil if I were selfish to leave them alone because they did not have the same blood ties. They have taken care of me to this extent."

Hearing Anna's reply, Denis stood up from his position and walked away.

"So, where are you going?" anna shouted when she found out the strange behavior of her sister.

"Toilet!" answer Denis without turning away.

Anna had no idea of the tears that were now pouring down the twenty-nine-year-old man.
