“Why silent?” Hutomo asked his wife after Erka said goodbye to drive Cindy home.
Veronika shakes. “I love Ayleen.” Brief, clear, and full of meaning is contained in it.
“If your problem is in Ayleen, she will still be our daughter. Married or not with Erka, she remains a Hutomo.”
“Different, Dear.”
“What are your problems? Want Ayleen to be a daughter-in-law? There's still Ersa, just marry them both. Ersa also fits Ayleen. I saw the boy was familiar and often alone.” Hutomo took the middle path.
“Entah.” Veronika shakes. “My affection for Ayleen is not due to reply anymore. I really love her. Want some of the assets we have to fall into his hands. I took care of Ayleen from the red baby, I educated him and raised him. I know Ayleen well, different from Cindy.”
“But, all that Erka's choice. We can't force. The boy runs the household. Provided the girl he selected according to the criteria, not just any girl.” Both Hutomo's hands extended forward.
“Yes, I understand. That's why I didn't want to argue. There was a time when I expressed my different opinions, but not in front of Erka and Cindy. We can exchange opinions after they leave.” Veronika smiled.
“I understand your quality.” Hutomo. “Prepare, we'll meet Cindy's parents and talk about this wedding.”
Veronika nodded.
“Again, Ayleen is too small. It's only been 17 years. If you get married, it can't be this fast. Should wait two three years ahead.”
No more discussions. The two agreed to end dissent and support their eldest son's decision. As parents, Hutomo and his wife prayed only for the best for their son and daughter.
***
After the family meeting was held, Erka and Cindy's relationship finally went up in class. According to the agreement of the parents, the two will get married in the middle of the year. All preparations began to be done, from the important things to the small things.
This marriage not only brings together two human children, but also opens up business opportunities for two giant companies engaged in different fields. A mega project has been discussed by Hutomo and prospective besan as concrete evidence that the relationship is not kidding.
Erka is still the same as before, often coming home at night without any clarity. Nothing has changed, everything is the same. Only Ayleen began to limit himself and did not want to interfere too much with his brother's affairs.
Six full moons passed, the day everyone was waiting for finally arrived. That night was the same as usual, Erka came home the other night, skidded around, and knocked on Ayleen's bedroom window.
"Leen, are you asleep? This is Erka's sister, please open the door Erka didn't bring the key." That masculine voice sounded fierce.
The knock on the window disturbed Ayleen's daydream that was unable to close his eyes all night. A beautiful girl who has finished her High School and is now adapting to her new status as a student at one of the prestigious universities in the capital.
"Leen, you haven't slept, have you? Your room lights are still on." The man insisted.
"Ci."
Tok .. tok.
Erka did not want to give up, continued to knock and call from the outside. Almost ten minutes of staying under the window, Ayleen finally made a sound.
"Yes, Brother."
The girl weakened, could not bear to let the big brother's body gnawed at the night wind. After a long time Erka did not bother him, now the handsome man is back in action.
Faintly, Erka's voice sounded again.
"Yes, Brother." Tidying up her nightgown, Ayleen rushed out of the room while tying the height of her long, messy hair.
It didn't take long, Ayleen was already standing in the doorway and letting the grown man in.
"Ci."
Erka crumbs on her sister's shoulder without permission. The burly body was like powerless, hitching a ride on his tiny body.
"Any? His voice sounded fierce, but why was he so weak. No alcohol scents." Ayleen sniffed the body of his older brother who was wrapped in a leather jacket.
"Leen, take me to my room" Erka said, stopping her brother's astonishment. "Let's Mommy come here. We both are."
The more strange, there were no signs as usual. Ayleen. However, he still clasped Erka's burly waist and pushed the man into the room.
Trudging along, Ayleen had to fight hard to lead Erka to the top of the bed. Dropping her brother's heavy body on the bed, she smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good night, sister," Ayleen's great-grandson, sighed softly. He would only turn around after completing his work, but his left hand was gripped roughly and pulled down onto the bed.
"Let'soo!" Ayleen's shout was held back, his mouth was smothered tightly.
"Don't yell, Leen." Erka seemed fully aware.
"Sir Erka ...." Ayleen's voice hangs. The girl lay resigned, with Erka locking on top of her.
"I want to see my little sister before I get married." Erka's remarks did not indicate that the man was being overrun with liquor as usual.
"Sister Erka ... why?"
There was no answer, Erka researched the beautiful face that was decorated with long hair in a mess.
"Nr ...." Ayleen's voice rang out if Erka gave some distance and watched Ayleen closely. He studied it from head to toe.
"Sister." Ayleen tried to take down her revealing nightgown.
"I'll be married in a minute. Can't spoil you like you used to." Erka chuckles.
"Sister Erka why?" Ayleen's confused. Her heart skipped a beat when she found Erka's gaze getting weird. Highlight the eyes of the man's eagle was not as shady as usual.
There was no answer, Erka just stared fixedly at Ayleen's face and smiled. Lower his face and give a kiss on the forehead and both cheeks.
"Good night, Xiao Meimei."
"Good night Brother Er ...." Ayleen's eyes are perfectly patterned. He could not finish his words, Erka had already silenced him in an unusual way.
