Loving Brother-in-law

Get Rest

Late at night, Riyu paced in front of her bed. His mind was focusing on the sentence that would be spoken when apologizing to Sam later. Sam's jealous, it's not an easy thing. If Riyu can not melt Sam's jealousy, maybe he will be affected, Sam will be more annoying when jealous. Sometimes his eyes glanced at the wall clock, but there was no sign of Sam's arrival.

Noval hasn't been home either, usually she's... Ah let it be, at most he is mingling love with another woman!. Mumbled Riyu. Even his heart hoped that Noval would not come home, so that he could explain everything to Sam.

Tin... Tin...

The sound of a car horn was heard, before long the sound of a gate opening. Riyu immediately peeked out of the glass window, looking at Sam's car entering the garage of the main house. "Luckily Sam came first" Riyu said, running straight out of her room.

At the entrance, a servant opened the door. "Well, Non-Riyu hasn't slept?" Ask Servant Mirah who was surprised to see Riyu.

"I can't sleep yet. Let me open the door here"

"Well Miss" he said nodding.

Despite her astonishment and confusion, Mirah took a few steps back without saying much. Seen as Riyu let out a long sigh, his hand slowly pulled on the doorknob.

"Sam, you've already." stop talking because what you see isn't Sam. "Aji? You alone? Where's Sam?!" Riyu looked closely at Aji's face which gave off a strange expression.

"Eeemm... Boss Sam and Mr. Noval... " Aji had not yet answered, suddenly 2 people collapsed to the floor from the right and left side of Aji. Riyu gasped in shock at the sight of the two people battered.

"Let's.... What's going on?!" yells Ryu

Spontaneously, he immediately covered his mouth because he shouted too loudly, could wake up the entire house later, the face of Riyu pale immediately saw the two of them. "Noval, Sam? Aji tell me what happened!" Riyu panicked. But Aji was confused as to where to explain.

"They just... "

"Let's help me! Help them get into the room!" Riyu rushes to retrieve the medicine box, while Sam and Noval are swept away by Mirah and Aji to enter their respective rooms.

"Are they fighting again? This must be because Sam was jealous, then beat up Noval right? Why are they so childish!" grunt while preparing the compress wound.

"Where was this what I was treating?" his footsteps stopped in the middle of the stairs. Confused between Noval or Sam first who want to be compressed. "I'm sorry, Noval, I'll start with Sam first, so I can talk to him" Riyu said. Before entering Sam's room, he first gave Noval a medicine box.

"What do you really think! Why do you like to solve problems by fighting. Ha!" Riyu's hand was busy wiping the blood on Sam's face, and Sam grimaced with the pain as a small towel stuck to his face.

"Are you satisfied now? Hurt yourself, you fool!" Very upset to see the behavior of the two people, to the point that it felt like nagging until morning. Suddenly Sam laughed, then coughed. It makes Riyu want to squeeze Sam's wound because he's upset.

"Why are you laughing?!" riyu protest, who is not upset? Already worried half dead but even in laughing.

"Riyu, I have some good news for you" Sam clasped Riyu's hand, it felt even more unbearable as he stared at the battered Sam like that. "Riyu, I won. I managed to defeat Noval! Hahaha" Sam laughed off.

"You can still laugh?! Proudly you said you won Noval! You really are!" riyu's hand twists Sam's hip.

"Ouch! Wait, Mrs Galuh, I'm not done talking. Listen to me first" Sam avoided Riyu, afraid that his hand would pinch him again.

"What do you want to explain? Are you going to tell me how you won over Noval?! That's not happy news but annoying news!" Riyu tries to find an opening to teach Sam a lesson that blocks his body with a pillow.

"No, that's not what I'm going to explain"

"Then what?!" Riyu's voice was stinged with anger.

"Noval has agreed to our relationship" Sam peeked at Riyu from behind a pillow.

"Do you think I'll... Whatdidyou say?" Riyu was immediately stunned in disbelief.

"Noval, has blessed our relationship. You tau? He's letting you be with me"

"Sam, you're not kidding me, are you?" Ask Riyu in disbelief.

"No. We fight because this is a sign of agreement and fun. Ryu." Sam clasped Riyu's hand and pulled her to sit next to him.

"Sam, Noval's not playing us, is he? He's not lying, is he?" Riyu was shaking.

"You can ask her if you want" Sam stroked Riyu's head.

"Can I?"

"Go away" Sam smiled. Riyu looked at Sayu, now she rushed to meet Noval in her room.

*****

At the same time, in Noval's room...

"Master, let me help you"

"No need, you just rest. It's late"

"But Sir... "

"Go"

"Baa... Fine, Mister. Excuse me" Mirah stepped out with a heart wondering, Tumben Noval did not snap at him.

While carrying his compress, Noval stepped towards the balcony. Before sitting down he opened his torn and shabby shirt, then threw it on the balcony floor. Then slammed his body into the chair, and began to stick a compress on his face.

Stifled compress on the bleeding part of the face, Noval enjoyed her pain while looking straight ahead, she again struggled with her thoughts. Hopefully Noval's decision this time, is the right decision that he really can afford.

His hand dipped the towel back into the basin of water, then after squeezing it Noval re-attached it to his face. Noval's gaze deepened upon the deep night, Ranu's eyes were re-emerging from his memory, Maya who lost her baby, and Nita with all her threats.

Noval pondered, "Perhaps this way I can make amends." His whisper in his heart. Noval just doesn't want any more victimized women in her life, plus, after she reunites with Maya, the pain of being separated and losing someone she loves. Noval felt all that.

Giving up Ryu to be with Sam, is the only way for Noval to keep her loved ones out of harm's way. At least, he could still see Ryu's smile right? Tomorrow he will no longer be by her side.

*****

"Bi Mirah, why are you here? I told you to help treat Noval's wounds right?!" riyu rebukes Mirah who is still standing in front of Noval's room.

"I'm sorry Miss, but Mr. Noval refuses to help me" explained in a guilty tone.

"Yes, you rest. Let me take care of it.

"Yes Miss, I'm sorry" Mirah passed.

Riyu went into the room, her eyes combing through the room. There was no Noval there, as her feet stepped into the bathroom to look for her, it turned out that the wanted man was sitting on the balcony bare-chested, grimacing over compressing his own wounds. For some reason, Ryu felt sorry to see Noval. No. gabe. Before I confirm what Sam said, I won't feel sorry for him. Riyu is afraid that she will get sick later, if Noval lies.

"Let me help" Riyu took a compress from Noval's hand, not daring to look at her face, afraid of not having the heart.

"Why did you come here? Have you been treating Sam?"

Jolted at Noval's question, Ryu looked at Noval in disbelief. "Why are you surprised like that?" Noval laughed lightly.

"No, I just... Noval, this isn't your cunning plan, is it?!" riyu asked staring intently.

"What do you mean?!" Noval serious.

"What did Sam say was true?" ask Riyu lirih.

"What did that little boy say?"

"Sam said that you've blessed me with him. You let me go with him, is that true?" hesitating to ask, but also wanting certainty from Noval's answer.

"Hemhs. Yes right" Noval bowed, smiling bitterly. "Are you happy? You're happy now, aren't you?" her gaze turned to look at Riyu who started to block the clear liquid in her eyes.

"Why?" riyu asked softly and shook.

"Because I love you. I said it back then, but you don't believe it" Noval laughed lightly again. "I'm sorry if all this time I've been rude to you, you've suffered enough, and now. I want you to be happy, even if not by my side. You're... Forgive me, right?"touching Riyu's head and rubbing it gently.

Riyu was silent, her neck was too faint to make a sound. Tonight for the first time, Riyu's ears heard the most beautiful words from Noval's normally rough lips, snapping at her, but now she spoke softly with a warm gaze.

"Listen, I'm tired of having a shitty little brother like Sam. And, I want to feel like I have a little sister. Like you. You'll be my favorite little sister later"

Riyu remained unanswered, her cries exploding instantly. He hugged Noval and cried there. "Why are you crying! Stupid omelette!" Noval pats Riyu's head but is not tight.

"Thank you Noval, I will love you too" Riyu said sobbing.

Noval enjoyed the warm embrace, not the embrace that came from a husband and wife, or a pair of lovers. But a hug of affection between brother, and sister. Did ya? Noval feels heavy actually, but, she also doesn't want to hold back the woman she loves suffering by her side.

Sam stood looking at the view on the balcony, somewhat objecting as well as Riyu hugging Noval. But this time Sam let in, giving it a chance, let Noval embrace Riyu. Sam smiled, and let them, at least he felt relieved now. Sam went back to his room.

"Not crying. You better rest now. It's too late"

Riyu wiped her tears, "You should also rest. Must be tired after a fight, right?" laughter was heard from both.

"But for the time being we have to stay in one room, until I have the right time to bring you together"

"It's okay, I understand" Riyu smiled.

"Sleep, I'll take a shower first"

Riyu nodded, before she got into bed, she prepared a change of clothes for Noval and placed it on the sofa. "One more time, thanks Noval"

*****

In the morning, as usual, breakfast is available warm on the dining table.

"Actually, last night Mama heard a hysterical scream. But when Mama heard again the voice was gone" Nita opened the chat. Riyu bit her lower lip, she realized that her screams were so loud last night. How not! Who is not in shock to see two people collapsing and battered.

"Maybe Mama dreams" said Mahesa, reaching for the milk that had been served warmly in front of her.

At once, Sam and Noval walked to the dining table. Although their faces were bruised and swollen, their smiles were as bright as the morning sun.

"Good morning Pa" said Noval and Sam simultaneously.

"Hihihi" Riyu giggles holding back laughter, because Noval and Sam's faces look so ugly, but funny haha anyway.

Mahesh looked at the two sons.

"Brruppp... Uhuk uhuk" the milk gushed from his mouth, until pressed. Nita, who was flabbergasted to see Sam and Noval, immediately turned to get a drink for Mahesa.

Noval and Sam looked at each other in surprise with Mahesa who suddenly choked, but his sense then changed with a loud laughter from the two, because they saw each other's faces.

"Why are you laughing stupidly!"

"Your face looks so ugly Noval! Haha"

"Basar you. Don't you reflect on how ugly your face is!" The sound of laughter was heard again.

After adjusting his breathing, Mahesa again observed the two. "Sam, Nova! What happened to you two?!" Mahesa Sentak. Sam and Noval stopped their laughter. "Don't tell me you're fighting again!" Mahesa upset.

"But that's what happened Pa, we fought" Sam replied with a face as clean as possible.

"But look Pa, we're getting along, right?" Sahut Noval is proud.

Mahesa nibbled at her temple, suddenly dizzy against her son who was always making trouble. But Nita was still astonished by their behavior, "What really happened! Why are they this familiar?!"

Noval and Sam were sitting in their seats, Riyu still held his laughter seeing the swelling in Noval's lips and swelling in Sam's right eye.

"What is your goal to fight like this?!"

All silenced, where possible open the voice and explain that the fight was for a deal. The ones that exist will even be caught by Nita, and become a new problem for them.

Just now that Noval wanted to open her mouth to speak up, Mahesa refused. "Already, already! Finish your breakfast. You don't want to know, anyway after this you have to keep going to the office!"

"What's? With a face like this?!" Sam Protest.

"Why do you mind?! Your own fault!" Mahesa swigged out her milk. "Review if you guys skip work. Papa will have you go around the compound with a swollen face like that, if you break the order" Mahesa immediately left.

"You are adults! Still being childish!" said Nita was no less upset, then followed Mahesa to his car.

Only Riyu, Sam, and Noval are left at the dinner table. Looking at Riyu who was laughing, Sam and Noval looked at Riyu, making him stop laughing and close his mouth tightly.

"I... I finished breakfast, first. Daahhh" Ryu immediately ran away to his car, the safest way to save himself from the two annoying people.
