The sound of foot-banging against each other hit the stairs, as the pair of brothers, down one by one the steps, which will take them, on the ground floor. The faces of the two women continued to carve smiles, with a chatter that accompanied their small steps.
Already treading on the ground floor, Disty and Rangga-soon took their wide steps, heading towards the dining room. When they arrived at the dining room, they found Aunt Surti, who was carrying two bowls, which contained fried chicken, as well as grilled fish.
"Auntie.." call Kiran to Aunt Surti, who made the elderly woman's footsteps, she stopped immediately.
"What's up, Miss?" aunt Surti asked, turning her body back.
"Bring the food back, Adisty and I will have dinner."
Having Kiran together, and Adisty, who is rarely seen, surprised the old woman a little. There is also tucked away a sense of happiness, if the two have accepted each other.
"Auntie...Where is Papa?" tanya Kiran, who defends Aunt Surti's daydream.
"Master, you're in the room, miss!"
Kiran soon moved from her seat, intending to call her father, in order to eat together. And just as the two legs were about to be stepped off, Aunt Surti was already making a sound, which made Kiran's footsteps, again she failed.
"I've called you, Miss...But he said he wasn't content to eat."
"Papa, say that?" kiran asked, with her full gaze on Aunt Surti, after hearing the words that went out from the lips of the elderly woman.
"Yes Miss. Sir said it like that."
Kiran again anchored her body, as well as Aunt Surti who had stepped away, from the dining room.
Kiran resumed her eating activities, but the hand movements stopped, as she found the look on her Big Brother's face had turned moody.
Touching the back of the woman's hand, until the owner's face is immediately diverted.
"Did Papa not want to eat dinner, because I'm here?" ask Disty. The woman's face looks uninspired, and holds a deep sadness inside.
A small smile, which depicts warmth.
"Who said? Probably because of the extreme loss, which left Papa uncooked to eat."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I'm so sure!" kiran replied with emphasis, so that the Brother would not feel alienated.
The two women resumed their dinner, after being interrupted by the conversation. The hostility between the two has been invisible now - only warmth exists.

The clouds are getting darker, as time moves on that brings to the end of the night, and of course adds more silence in the universe, when one by one the inhabitants, the, they are immersed in their own dreamland.
While in front of the room, Kiran did not immediately throw a knock. Long enough he stayed in front of the room, until finally ventured, to give a knock on the body of the door.
"Who?" Baritone voice, welcome him.
"This, I'm Paa...Kiran..." With half a shout, while answering his father's question.
"Just open it, the door's not locked!"
The golden yellow door handle, immediately Kiran broke, until the door that had been tightly closed, was now wide open. The silence was so felt inside, with a not-so-bright radiance, which added a sense of sorrow, which the owner was experiencing.
"Lad..." Kiran called in a soft tone of voice, when she found the father, standing in front of the window of the room, while casting a glance at the clouds that were blackening her face.
"What is Papa thinking?" asked Kiran then, who was standing at the window, looking into her eyes, looking at the father, who was still throwing.
Sighing his deep breath, with a glance that Papa Andi turned away, at Kiran who was looking at him intently.
"Papa's just still hurt, with what happened. Papa did not hesitate at all, if your stepmother could lie to Papa. If it wasn't then Papa was pitying his situation of raising a child alone, maybe Papa wouldn't have married him."
"Is Papa sorry?" kiran asked, intending his gaze even more, at the look of disappointment clearly visible on his father's face.
"Neither! Papa just doesn't take it, if your stepmom lied to Papa all this time. And worse, if all this time, he was in a relationship with the man, behind Papa. And Papa felt that Papa was so stupid!"
"It's all happened Paa...Just take the silver. And I also ask, Papa still behaves as usual with Brother Adisty. After all, he didn't know about this at all. And even though he knows that he's not Papa's son, he only knows Papa as his father."
"Thank you son, because you've awakened Papa. And apologize, if maybe all this time Papa's been hurting your heart a lot."
Kiran smiled, and immediately melted her body in the arms of the Father. "Tama-sama Paa..I love Papa!" kiran said, wrapping her two arms around her, tightly hugging Papa Andi.
Papa Andi returned the embrace, with a kiss he put on the head of his daughter, as warmth returned to the father, and the child.
"Papa loves you too, Kiran!" papa Andi smiled.
***
After talking to his father, Kiran decided to return to her room. As she spread the door, the woman was a little surprised to find her husband - already in the room, and lying on the bed - playing with his playbook.
A flash Kiran immediately closed the door of the room, afraid if only the presence of Rangga was known by the house.
"Mas Rangga, since when did Mas come here?" kiran asked with a full look at the husband, who was busy with his phone.
A little weird, with the device he put next to his body.
"I've been waiting for you since. Where have you been?!" rangga asked, with a tone that sounded slightly annoyed.
"I'm from Papa's room" said Kiran, anchoring her body in the bed.
"From your Papa's room? Will he cancel your departure to England?" asked Rangga, who seemed very enthusiastic, when he found out that his wife had just returned from his father's room.
"No..." While shaking slowly.
His body felt groaned, the spirit that had just flared up vanished for a moment, upon finding a disappointing answer.
"So your father, what is it that sends you to England?!" In a tone that sounded annoyed, as he asked a question.
"Yes. But I promise you, I'll see you there once in a while?"
"Don't ya!" origin answers.
"Mas.." called Kiran, upset by her husband's answer.
"Yes...Ja. I'll definitely keep seeing you Kiran!"
Kiran smiled. She climbed into the bed, and sat down beside her husband.
"So Mama, come here," said Kiran suddenly, who made Rangga's gaze turn away instantly, in shock.
"You're serious??" ask ascertained.
"Yes. I seriously. Even she brought me some pregnant milk, and some fruit, too" Kiran replied smilingly, and she looked very happy, with her mother-in-law's arrival.
"Are you happy?"
"Of course I'm very happy. Because Mama, already accepted my presence, as her daughter-in-law."
"Yes. And now just stay, your father," continued Rangga, who immediately removed, a smile on Kiran's face.
"You're not going to give up 'Mas?"
Rangga stretched out his arms, and embracing his wife's shoulders carried the woman's body, into his arms.
"Do you love me so much, Kiran?"
Kiran looked up at her face, staring intensely at that shady bead of eyes.
"I love you so much, Mom..Loves you so much. And I guess, you already know, how I feel, this."
Rangga smiled, kissed him on the top of his wife's head, and tightened the embrace.
"You don't have to worry, I'll keep fighting for our love. Until we both get back together."
