The sun is starting to shine.
I woke up and heard a noise downstairs. Papa and Mama are getting ready to go to the office, while Zuri is going to school.
I rushed down and found everyone was leaving.
"For my son, Papa wants to go to work" said Papa who was putting on shoes. My papa as usual to the office using a motorbike because the distance from the office to the house is only a few pounds.
While Mama, go to the office with Zuri because it is unidirectional.
"Papa uses Zanu's car only. So Papa Panasin's engine, Zanu can't yet" I replied.
"Go back to work, Papa panasin's engine. Papa prefers to go to the office on a motorcycle. That's your car, Dad, you want to be the first to drive it" Papa finished putting up his shoes and walked to the bike.
I hugged Papa and felt her.
"Zanu went back to college to the city of P ya Pa, same Bram,"
"Yes, be careful. Let me know when you get there. Dad went to work first, yeah,"
"Good Pa,"
Mama and Zuri are getting ready. The car has turned on my mother.
"Mama, Zuri, Papa left first, da.dah..," said Papaku.
"Okay Pa, be careful" replied Mama.
Papa drove his bike out of the house and left until it disappeared from view.
"Ma, where's Zanu putting the keys?" my many.
"Obviously, in a flower pot near that chair. Mama same Zuri go first, son, be careful while there. Don't forget to tell me," Mama kissed me on the cheek and hugged me.
"Good Ma,"
Zuri. Mama and Zuri get in the car. After that, the car drove out of the house.
Now I am alone at home. I closed the door and went upstairs to my room. I'm getting ready to go to the city of P with Bram.
**********
There was a sound of cars coming from outside.
I know it was Bram. I was getting ready to head to the living room.
"Assalammu'alaikum" said Bram from outside.
"Waa'alaikum hail," I replied as I opened the door.
Bram looks very fresh and cool with a white t-shirt style blue jeans combination.
"You ready? We're leaving right away, are we?" ask Bram.
"Yes, just go ahead. But I haven't had breakfast yet, brother,"
"Sama, we'll find a place for breakfast, come on," Bram said.
I took the backpack from the guest sofa, after coming out, directly locked the door and placed it under the flower pot.
Bram and I boarded the car and set off to go to the town of P.
"Zanu, tonight you go to my house, yes, I'll take you to the boarding house" said Bram.
"Well?"
"This afternoon my parents came. That night I wanted to introduce you to them, "Bram is still concentrating on driving.
"Lho's? It's not that Brother's parents don't approve of our relationship. I think it's a big mistake if Brother meets me with them. Make what? So that I may be hurt? Or sad?" I feel my chest start to rumble.
"It's not so Zanu. Overall, my parents didn't dislike you but there were things they couldn't avoid. So, before they leave, they want to see you first. Later you will also understand what I mean," explained Bram.
I shut up and started not understanding what Bram was talking about.
"Would you like it, baby?" ask Bram.
"All right, brother," I was forced to follow Bram's will.
The car starts to pull over, into the parking lot of a special breakfast food stall. That morning there were many visitors in the shop. When Bram and I went down, as usual, a lot of people saw both of us.
From a distance, the mountains are still covered with clouds. Bram and I ordered breakfast.
There were some visitors whispering when they saw the two of us. Bram faced it casually.
"Sister, when you're in America, will you call me?" my many.
"God willing Zanu. If I don't call you, it means I'm busy or there's something else we can't communicate with" Bram replied.
The deg! What does Bram mean?
"I mean Brother?" many wonder.
"All for the safety of me and you" Bram replied with a bow, not daring to look at me.
It looks like Bram is saving something and has a very strange reason.
"Excuse me Bang, here's the order" said the waiter. He put my order and Bram on the table.
"Okay, thank you" Bram replied briefly.
After placing all the orders, the waiter turned around.
"Come, we'll eat right away" Bram asked.
I followed him and took my food. As long as we eat there's not much we talk about, just about the campus.
After she finished eating, Bram paid the food bill at the cashier's desk. Then we both got out of the stall and headed to the car park.
*********
In the car.
"Zanu, I got the info last night. The one who attacked you yesterday afternoon was Lutfa's man. And Lutfa was in police custody last night. So you're probably safe going forward. The only one I fear for you is Zanu" said Bram.
"Huh?! So last night Brother took care of that? As for the fate of Lutfa, with his condition helpless, had to languish in prison. That's how the story goes, brother? I didn't expect that" I was shocked by Bram's statement.
Why is Lutfa so strong? If you really want revenge for his brother, will not be achieved. Bram just wants to get away from me, but he really loves me. Especially with someone he never considered.
"Zanu, don't you want to ask me what I'm afraid of you?" it turns out that Bram is focused on his point, not on Lutfa.
"Oh yes, brother, sorry,"
"I'm afraid you'll marry someone else" Bram said.
"Keep, what does my brother want? Want me an old virgin? I have to live my life Brother, even if it hurts, sad to lose Brother. I must open my heart to others, even though my love may not be as great as Big Brother, at least I have tried to make peace with myself" I replied at length.
"May you get my better daughter" said Bram lirih.
I'm quiet back. If only Bram knew what my heart meant. If only Bram knew how I really felt.
"Zanu. If later Gilang is out of prison, you have to be careful," Bram suddenly talked about Gilang.
"Huh?! Is he going out? Didn't you just go to jail?" I was a little panicked.
"Yes, he's out in four years. But he'll most likely be looking for me. If he knows, if you're not with me anymore, then he won't bother you. But it could be, he's still obsessed with approaching you again. My message is, you avoid him,"
"Yes, sister,"
"Don't forget, his sister's still hanging around. You just go through the days casually and concentrate on your lecture. Business beyond that, let me take care of it. Oiya, sorry, I didn't get to take you to your garden. Later Mr. Jack will show you where your garden is located. At the same time he will provide a certificate of land, ownership in your own name" Bram explained.
"Huh?! Do I have a certificate? Feeling I haven't given you a ID, or have I forgotten?" I wonder why so quickly it's a mess
"Everything is organized and taken care of by Zanu. You don't have to ask me how to take care of it,"
Suddenly I remembered a set of diamonds Bram had given me. I want to give it back, like I told Zuri to give Damar back.
Is Bram angry? Offended? Or did he take it back?
"What's up, baby? Why do you keep quiet?" Bram.
"Sister, the diamond set I returned yes," I said softly and fearfully.
"What?"
Bram stopped his car suddenly. Looked at Bram's creepy eyes.
