Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 41: Confession of Bram

Sunday morning.

Zuri and I went for a morning run. This time the direction we've traveled is quite far. We're going to the beach near the market. Later when going home the plan is to take a bendi, because I believe our condition will be tired if we go home on foot.

Early in the morning, on the beach there are many people exercising and some are passing by to the market. After looking around and making a movement for an hour, I was with Zuri about to walk towards the market.

Suddenly from the end of the road on the beach I saw Bram! He was not alone, there were some people surrounding him. What's so early in the morning Bram's there? It seems like there is something important that he discussed.

I didn't want to bother him, so Zuri and I accelerated the pace to walk towards the market.

"Zanuu...!"

Bram yelled at me. Ow hell! I'm being embarrassed. Because Bram's scream made everyone on the beach see me.

"Who the hell is Brother? Sensely speaking, that's the guy" Zuri asked as she looked towards the voice that called out to me.

I just kept quiet and waited for Bram to get to me. Bram was running towards me with a smile. The people around him look dumbfounded at Bram's attitude.

Bram didn't care about the reaction of the people there. He keeps looking at me. With a little breath he stopped in front of me.

"Zanu, where are you going?" bram asked while looking at Zuri beside me.

"You go to the market, Kak, run out in the morning" I replied.

"Who is Zanu, your brother?" ask Bram again.

"Yes, I know Kak, my brother's name is Zuri,"

"Hai Zuri, meet me Bram" said Bram.

I saw Zuri being quiet and dumb. The boy must have been fascinated to see Bram. Because Bram is different from most guys. I nudged Zuri's shoulder to move on from her bengong.

"Eh.eh yes, I am Zuri," replied Zuri grogian.

Bram smiled and looked back at me.

"What else is there?" I just want to go straight to the point.

"There's something I'm taking care of. You guys want to go home, right? Can we talk to Zanu?" ask Bram.

"We want to go to the market first to find food for breakfast, and then go straight home. Okay, where to talk?" my many.

"On that log cabin alone" replied Bram.

I'm nodding. Zuri just followed without saying much.

Tumben Zuri this time did not kepo? Maybe Zuri hasn't been in the conscious, ha.ha.ha..

Or maybe when at home later, Zuri's kekeboan will come out.

I, Zuri and Bram were walking towards the cottage in question. The cottage does not have a bulkhead, plong just like that. Usually used for buyers who want to eat or unwind. More like hanging out on the beach.

********

Bram and I were sitting next to each other, while Zuri was sitting on the other side. I saw Bram grab something in his pants pocket and it was a cigarette.

"Sister, still smoking? Don't you smoke anymore?" my many.

"Eh, forgot. Yes, no, not so. I'm sorry," Bram replied, saving the cigarettes he was carrying.

"Sister, Zuri played there first huh. While looking for shells to make accesories. How do you know to meet a good one," said Zuri.

Well, here it is. Zuri shouldn't be here, because I'm sure Bram wants to talk to me about something.

The existence of Zuri, this chatter can not be separated, afraid Bram teasing me again.

Malulah same with her own sister, right.. Don't know, Bram is brave?

"Okay, watch out the sea water can drag you. I can't swim anyway. Play on the edge, yes," I replied.

Zuri nodded and immediately ran small towards the wide sand. I saw Bram once in a while looking at the group he just left behind.

Suddenly from a distance, I saw someone approaching this cottage and Bram seemed to know him.

I look carefully at who it is? Maybe Atif? Usually where there is Bram there must be Atif.

Apparently not. But someone I've seen, but where is it?

Finally he got to the cottage and went straight to Bram and I who were sitting.

"Boss, everything's ready. Just waiting for the Boss' decision," he said while standing on the edge of the cottage.

He looked at me for a moment. She's shocked! After a few seconds of watching me. But he did not dare to look at me any longer, his gaze was instantly shifted towards Bram.

"Any Boss, we'll wait until the Boss is done. Excuse me, boss, please,"

Bram nodded. He also turned towards where the group had been, who was still there.

Ahah! I just remembered, it turned out that it was the person who once gave me Brother's letter when his funeral took place. Yup! He's a friend of his who's hired with brother.

But why does he know Bram? And what business is Bram here with the troupe? Still a riddle to me.

"Sister, who is that? I've met him once," asked me to the point so as not to keep curious.

"That's Ipank, I told you about it, didn't I? He is friends with Angga and one generation. Have you ever told me about Angga? She must be surprised why you are with me now, ha.ha.ha." Bram said with a laugh.

Lho? Why is Bram laughing, weird!

"Why is my brother laughing? No funny feelings?" I answered a little upset.

"Sorry Zanu. I laughed because I felt the world was narrow. Maybe whoever you know, knows me. More precisely not funny but strange. And if Ipank still remembers you, he must have been astonished" replied Bram.

"Sister, who is Brother really? How much does it have to do with a lot of people? And they call Big Boss?" I just started investigating Bram.

I don't want my brain to be full of questions about Bram all this time.

"Zanu, I have a business here, which deals with coconut and chocolate plantations. Now I'm again taking care of the cooperation with fishermen, the fish business. Incidentally here, the business of the fish goes well. They have good management. And I want to supply a ship that will employ young people in this region. Later some percent of the sale I will give for the welfare of the fishing family. Since it relates to so many people, it takes people to start every trip I make here. In addition to personal control, including escorts from the police. Ipank and Angga are the ones I pick every time I come here, you understand?" answer Bram at length.

I'm muttered. It turns out this is the answer, why everyone has been calling Bram the Boss.

"Not just cooperation or own?" ask me deeper.

"Later you will know too. I don't want to explain it in detail. I just want to talk about us, okay?" ask Bram.

I just nod. It is unethical to know more about Bram's life. I just got close to Bram.

"Oiya, I'll go to your house later this afternoon, before leaving for P. There's something I've prepared for you" he said, smiling at me.

"Can. But how come you're so quick to turn back? It's only been two days here, right?" my many.

"I have some business. Meet new clients, to take care of chocolate supply through the island of Batam. I'll be here again sometime if there's free time to meet you" replied Bram.

I just kept quiet to hear Bram's explanation. I felt like I was in another dimension. Because I know Bram better just as a student in my college.

But if Bram's story takes care of this business, I'm so kagok ya..

"You're still missing, huh? How, have you felt what it's like me?"

I just smiled a little. Yup! I felt that miss.

"Not really. Just ask why Brother is quick behind it," I replied trying to cover my own feelings.

Sell expensive..

Bram's reaction was just a rage and a smile.

"When are you going to college?" tanya Bram switched the conversation.

"Tomorrow Brother. It was early morning leaving the house,"

"Try this afternoon you also go to the city of P, we can go together,"

"Okay ah! I don't want to go on a ride like that, Kak," I refused Bram's offer.

"God, rilex.. Oiya, let's go there and play sand. Your sister played alone from earlier," said Bram while pointing at Zuri who was chasing something.

Without further ado, I immediately pulled Bram's hand and ran towards Zuri. Bram just according to my actions just now.

We both play sand and after that we go looking for shells with Zuri. Bram looks so happy.

"Zanu, I haven't been to the beach in a long time. And with you here, I feel something coming back. In the future I will often play here with you, yes." said Bram.

"Yes, can. Don't forget you often tell me. I'll call the boarding number later, so I can call me,"

"No, you're actually kangen, ha.ha.ha." said Bram, poking me and running.

"Ogaaaahhh....! Who the hell's missing" I replied while chasing Bram.

Bram and I ran, we laughed. As if I didn't want all this to pass quickly. Poor Zuri, just acting as a spectator for my presence with Bram.

Sorry Brother ya Zuri. One day Zuri will also meet good people and love you wholeheartedly.
