A handsome, tall young man with a cross-faced face and white skin was in his room, busy braining his laptop. Who else would that man be if not Arvin Regan Abraham Downey, commonly called Arvin. The name given to the man and woman who used to take care of him when he was a baby.
Arvin is working on a task given by the lecturer as an exam score from one of the courses. The end of the semester has arrived. After going through the semester exam this time, Arvin will soon enter the 5th semester. Repeatedly Arvin seemed to be sighing violently. Even the backspace button several times he pushed after he wrote a few sentences.
Arvin looks terrible. Tasks that he can usually finish quickly, this time Arvin takes a long time to do his job this time. Already since this afternoon he struggled with his laptop to complete his task. But in fact until the clock on the wall shows at 9 pm, he can only finish half of it.
Arvin rubbed his face rough then turned his hair back when he made a mistake again.
“ Why am I so like this anyway? Wrong again.wrong again….Ck! “ grumbled Arvin. I want to slam my favorite laptop. Arvin ruffled his hair, then he stood up from his seat to get out of the room.
As she went down the stairs, the mother was about to go up to the second floor to go to her room.
“ Brother...” call the mama.
“ Mom. Why ma? “ Ask Arvin.
“ Mom wants nyampering brother to room. It's 9 o'clock this time. Tapia bang missed dinner. Let's hunt down. Your father has been noisier since, why don't you come to dinner. “ said Leora while walking beside Arvin. And Arvin's embracing his shoulder. “ Though mama already said that brother again ngerjain task. But your father still riweh. “ continued the mama. Arvin just smiled thinly.
Dion, although he was only a connecting father to Arvin, but the middle-aged man was always affectionate and attentive like a real father.
“ Arvin, why don't you come to dinner, son? “ heard a heavy voice from someone sitting in the dining chair.
“ Arvin has a task and must be completed immediately. Tomorrow it must be collected. So Arvin didn't have time for daddy's dinner. “ says Arvin.
“ Yes already here. Come quickly eat. “ take Dion while waving his hand and have Arvin sit next to him. “ Ma, quickly mama prepare dinner for our firstborn. “ the door to the wife.
Leora nodded with a warm smile to her husband. Husband who wants to accept himself as he is, husband who wants to accept his son like his own son, husband who has accompanied him in distress and pleasure for 18 years.
“ How was your college, son? “ Ask dion.
“ Alhamdulillah smoothly well. Starting tomorrow after the even semester exam. “ replied Arvin.
“ Enjoy with your lecture? “
Arvin nodded. He flipped the plate in front of him that had been prepared indeed for him. Before long, Leora returned with a bowl of rice and a plate of various side dishes.
“ Did Daddy Ro call you back? “ Ask dion. Arvin turned for a moment to his father, then shook his head.
“ But, what about your Daddy's offer and solicitation? “
Leora who was beside him stopped her activities of preparing dinner for her son. His heart felt a little bit sad. His heart was also beating fast. Did he really have to let his eldest son leave him and follow his Daddy?
Arvin slightly stared at the mother who suddenly stopped her activities. Arvin knows, his mother must be sad if she agreed to the invitation of the daddy.
“ Arvin doesn't know yet. Arvin is confused. Arvin is comfortable living in Indonesia. It's also convenient to attend Arvin's lecture here. So for a while until I don't know when, Arvin will stay here. Same mama... “ Arvin staring at the mama sticky. “ Also the same father. “ he continued who then looked at Dion. Making Leora and Dion breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
The scariest thing for Leora and Dion is being abandoned by their firstborn. They're afraid that Arvin will go with his real father. It could be that their eldest son is feeling sorry for his biological father. Robert Downey, after being released from prison a few years ago, decided to settle in London which was his homeland. Moreover, the center of all his business is there.
But many times Robert asked Arvin to take over his business, Arvin always refused. He always reasoned if he had not been able because he had not completed his S1 education. And many times too, Robert had to swallow disappointment.
“ Dad and mom are happy if you still want to stay with us here. But we also cannot be selfish. We will always support your decisions. Even if you decide to go to your Daddy someday. Well, although it will be very heavy and difficult for us. “ said Dion wisely while patting the back of Arvin's hand on the table.
“ Brother can't go anywhere. Brother has to stay here. Same mom, dad, also Rendra. “ said Arvin's sister named Rendra who suddenly came from the front. He sat down next to Arvin and hugged his brother.
Narendra Son of Abraham, son of 17-year-old Dion and Leora, loved his older brother very much.
“ Lo anything anyway. Like a girl. Who wants to leave this house. Just calm down. Brother is not going anywhere. “ said Arvin to his sister.
“ Beware if brother lied. “ threatened Rendra while taking off his embrace. “ Brother who often nginep at the house of Quiny aja Rendra kesel. Especially if you are even out of the country. “ sewot Rendra. Rendra since childhood has always been envious of the queen. Because the brother will always put the spoiled girl first rather than himself.
“ Not Quiny Ren. Queen name. “ Arvin confirmed.
“ But brother likes to call him Queen. “
“ Yes. Queen's is a girl. You boys. Cook yes, you want in manjain brother kayak girls. “
“ Ogah! “
“ Hence do not like to be envious. Brother's affection for you, Daniel, Queen, is all the same. Paris and the twins too. Because you're all brothers. “
“ Even on the storm. Let's eat. Very late for dinner. “, said Dion.
Leora scoops the rice from the bowl and puts it on Arvin's plate, then gives the side dish as well. “ Ren, have you eaten yet son? “ Ask leora.
“ Udah ma. I had eaten with Temen-Temen. “
“ Where did you come from? It's not Sunday night. “
“ Not kelayuran brother. Just hanging out with friends at the coffee shop next door. “
“ Ck. Same time. The real school. You have a big responsibility tomorrow. You should be able to manage the grandfather legacy company tomorrow. “
“ There is a bang Arvin. “
“ Ck. Yeah, can't be. My brother has other responsibilities too. Brother also has to take care of Daddy Robert's business. If you do not take care of it, pity the thousands of workers. “
“ Yes..iya.iya.iya...From tomorrow, Rendra will study more seriously. “
Dion and Leora only shook their heads when they heard the answer and promise of their youngest child. Because the words of the promise always come out when Arvin or his father advises him.
