Nova stared into the boy's eyes.Their eyes still flow even without a sound.The feeling of Nova mixed is not out of reason.Antara hate, pity, love, and dear becomes one filled his heart.The face of this child reminds him of the last cry of his mother when he found out her father had been having an affair.But the cry of this child due to the ridicule of his friends also can not he accept.The feeling of wanting to protect him just appeared.Now only then did he realize, it was not only him who was suffering, this child as well.
"Who is this brother?" asked one of the children who made Nova sober, then he stood up and turned to face the children who had mocked the child who was now crying.
"I'm her brother" replied Nova confidently. "She's got papa, her Papa is my papa too so you guys don't insult her anymore.Understand?"
The children nodded in understanding.They then left the place.Nova then crouched down again so that she could equalize her position with the still crying child.
"Your friends do that often?" The boy just nodded.
"Haven't cried.You've got me."
"Can I call you brother now?" ask the boy in doubt.
Nova nodded. "Can ... but you can't tell your mama about this.This is our secret, you agree?"
The boy wiped his tears and nodded. "May I hug Brother?" ask the boy expectantly.
Nova nodded and spread her arms.Finally they embraced after years of just looking at each other.Nova felt a calmness in her heart.
I'm sorry I never thought of you.I'm busy lamenting my fate, feeling the most hurt child to not know if your life is not better than mine.It's definitely not easy for you even since you were born.
"I go first, remember .. Don't tell your Mama Kevin!"
"Would you like to see me later?"
"So, let's see it later."
"Does my sister still hate me?"
The deg!! Nova could not answer.This question made Nova's feelings more mixed.So all this time Kevin felt hatred from him even though they had never interacted directly.This is the first time Nova spoke with Kevin.
"Tell them you have a father and a brother if they insult you again."
Kevin smiled and nodded.Once again he hugged Nova as if he did not want to let go. While Nova tried hard to hold back her tears so as not to drip.
Is this what it feels like to have a sister? How selfish of me to think only of my ego.
Nova stood up about to leave Kevin.As soon as he turned his body he was surprised to see Lala, already standing there.
"I'm so proud of you" Lala said, shedding tears.
He grabbed Lala's hand and took her away from there.They went back on their motorbike then Nova stopped by the river like that time.She came down and sat on the grass that stretched on the river bank, and, then followed Lala.Nova was silent for a while.Then she laid her body on the grass and placed her head on Lala's lap.
"Am I selfish?" ask Nova.
"Everyone has their own point of view."
"It turns out he also suffered, all this time got insults from his friends.He was also tormented, and alone faced it." Nova spoke while closing his eyes.
"She's got a sister ready to protect her now" Lala replied as she gently rubbed Nova's hair,
Nova finally shed her tears.Still in silence on Lala's lap.
"I have to how?"
"Follow your heart.I'm sure blood is thicker than water.There is also your Papa's blood on his body." Lala still rubbed Nova's hair slowly, hoping that what she did could make Nova feel better.
"But I can't forgive her mother, that woman." Nova never wants to mention Viviane again now.
"It doesn't have to be now. Slowly, your wounds will be treated as time goes on." Lala's hand turned to Nova's cheek and wiped her tears. Nova grabbed the hand and kissed it many times.
"Thank you .. thank you.From the beginning my feelings were not wrong towards you.You are my eyes.You really changed my life," Nova said after she felt better.
"Stop your wombal seduction Nova.I'm already immune to that kind of seduction," Lala tried to laugh at Nova's words.
"I'm not seducing, that's how it is. You're my life."
Without Nova guessing, Lala lowered her head and kissed Nova's lips. "I assume your appeal worked."
"Again ..I want more" he said with his eyes closed.
"Don't be greedy!" she looked at Nova's face that was still closed in her lap.
Why is it that the more sweet he gets? The feeling used to be she was not like this when I married her.She was thin and her skin was a little dark.Now, her body is more contained and her skin.
"Nova .. why is your skin getting cleaner, look at your skin is almost as white as mine, when it was not like this" Lala showed her smooth white arms.
"Where do I know," replied Nova lightly.
"Am I getting good-looking?"
I'd love Lala to answer yes, but Nova will definitely be big-headed. "You've seen my pictures, haven't you? I've been handsome for a long time" he added.
No, I haven't answered him yet he's got a big head like this, Lala grumbled in her heart.
Maybe the influence of mind and heart that makes Nova's face changed.Desponder he was quiet and tends to moody, but, but now his face is more radiant.The body that is more contained makes it a little more handsome.But the shady aura that used to be often Lala saw on his face now rarely seen replaced with a naughty and ignorant aura.
The atmosphere of silence was created.They were both calm to enjoy the scenery accompanied by the sound of the rattling river water that continued to flow.Still with the same position as before, Nova put her head on Lala's lap.
"You hungry? Your stomach is ringing all the time" asked Nova with laughter. "Let's get something to eat" he continued, then he stood up.
"Gr ...." Lala patted her eel.
"Why? What's up?" ask Nova worried.
"I forgot my lick, still left on the bike.Now it must be cold." Lala looks disappointed.
"Yes, we've been looking for a lick seller again, all looking for lunch." Nova reached out her hand to help Lala stand up.
