ME VS MY BROTHER'S

Episode 23

Currently Icha and her mother are in one of the malls, her mother happens to have a schedule with her study mothers, while Alif is meeting kangen with her photography community. Icha also has a need for a bookstore, which is why her mother and Alif invited her to go together.

“Icha, you wait at the cafe just aja son, wait your brother. Mother must have long since” Mey exclaimed at her daughter.

The girl nodded a few times, she seemed to be comfortable in the cafe. At least she could wait for her mother and brother, while reading the book she had just bought.

“Iya bu...we go home waiting for dad first what about bu?” ask Icha, because that day Bima should have an event with Mey. So, Icha thinks her mom's going home with her dad.

“So, we will go home with Alif, he will bring a car. Waiting for my father later, son, he again nganterin his best friend first it” Mey replied, while checking her phone.

“Oh yaudah ma'am, Icha there first yes..” Icha was alone and kissed his mother's cheek.

The girl also chose a comfortable place to read, the most corner bench she chose. It didn't take long for Icha to pick a meal, she ordered her favorite menu, carbonara pasta and lychee ice tea. After the restaurant waiter left, he began to take off the plastic wrap from his new book.

Everything was normal, there was someone sitting on the bench who was right in front of him. But Icha didn't care, because he focused on the book, but it didn't last long. A woman came and sat with the man in front of her. The voice of the woman was what made Icha surprised, because what was spoken by the person was a familiar name in the ears of Icha.

“Halo Reiki, I'm Syakilla.” exclaim that woman.

‘Ka Reiki?, uhm..’ murmured Icha curious. Not usually Reiki met women, especially women he met this style of clothing is not a type of Reiki at all. With a light blue shirt that size is small, to make the shape of the woman's chest really visible, and also a super short black skirt.

The woman actually did not want to interfere until they both mentioned the names Aksa and Claudia. It was impossible for Icha not to interfere, if it was already dealing with Claudia. For the girl, Claudia was already like her own sister, this was natural because she and the girl had been together since birth. Both of their parents were also friends, so naturally Icha cared a lot for Claudia.

Then what about Reiki, as mentioned earlier, because it is close to Claudia, Icha was during her childhood often met with Reiki. Although not as familiar as Alif, but Icha knows how Reiki attitude.

Icha continued to listen to everything, until he was very surprised when he heard what Reiki had said.

“I want…..Aksa..sleep with you..”.

The girl could not believe what the man she had known since she was able to walk was saying. He covered his mouth with both hands, shocked and surprised of course that was what Icha felt. Shock with what he heard, his head was now filled with questions, and the most basic is, since when Reiki became someone who had a short-sighted mind like this.

The conversation between the two people continued, surprise and surprise after surprise was heard by Icha, he cried because he heard the evil plans of the two people. This kind of feeling is new to Icha, whose life is straight, as long as he lives he never understands and never does strange tactics. It is enough Alif and his father whose behavior is a bit crooked, even then not in the evil sense, because the crooked version of their family, is the super duper absurd behavior of his father and brother.

“Oook, by the way why did you think to make your favorite girl's heart cut out?”

The female voice echoed in Icha's head. ‘Destroying? Should they make Claudia sad? What's going on about ka Aksa?, I thought there was something strange about Claudia's stepbrother, but I don't understand that it was like this, I have to what now’ muttered Icha in the heart.

“Because it is better to damage the seed of the pest earlier, than later it has spread. It will be more difficult to destroy later”

Ok, that's it. Icha can't stand by and pretend that she doesn't hear anything. ‘Bismillah, O Allah please help strong heart Icha’ call Icha in his heart before stepping towards Reiki.

“Ka Reiki..”.

Reiki's body stiffened, the man memorized the voice that called out his name. Slowly the young man stood up, his face predictable. Pale, he realized that Icha was sitting behind him.

“I...Icha...you why here?” exclaiming Reiki tried to calm down, even though it was in vain, he could not hide that he was panicking.

Icha did not want to waste any time, it was enough that he heard all the nonsense spoken by the two people.

“Ka Reiki sorry, but can Icha chat for a moment with Reiki?” yell Icha with a firm tone but still soft.

Reiki looked to the right and left several times, as if checking whether Claudia was with Icha, she was a little relieved because her fiance was not with Icha.

The girl who was now in front of Reiki was aware that the man was looking for Claudia. Icha just shook her head slowly, disappointed by Reiki's attitude which is completely far from the word ‘Adult’. Icha did not wait for Reiki to agree, he passed to the other side of the cafe.

Icha took a deep breath and several times took it out violently, he was honestly confused what he had to say to Reiki, from the beginning also eavesdropping was not a good thing, either, Icha feels guilty about it, but she also has to prevent bad things from happening.

In his heart Icha said the prayer many times, until he felt calmer.

“Icha hear everything. All plans for Reiki are the same as the women. Icha heard from the beginning to the end Icha ka” really wants to cry now, how could the figure of Reiki that he knew very well be kind, turn into that bad.

Reiki was just silent, he already knew Icha heard everything, but there was one that made him uncomfortable, which was to see the corner of Icha's eyes that were now preparing to shed tears.

Actually Reiki also did not want to do such a thing, he did not want to hunch strangely, but for him Aksa could not be stopped. Thinking about what the man would do to his fiancee was already able to make Reiki go crazy. For him there was no better way out than what he had planned with Syakilla.

“Sorry I'm Cha, but I don't want you to interfere in this matter” Reiki threw away his face, he doesn't want to feel more guilty than before. By looking at Icha's innocent face, it was enough to make her reap even more sins.

Icha does not believe what Reiki says, this is not his business. But this has something to do with his best friend, of course Icha does not want Claudia sad.

Reiki fell silent, he should have been angry but once again he could not say anything in front of Icha, even the look in the girl's eyes was no fear at all.

“You must and must not interfere, this is all I sell to Claudia” exclaimed Reiki firmly.

For Claudia? What kind of nonsense is this?!, it is clear that if all the plans put forward by Reiki are successful, the worst impact will be borne by Claudia, so what kind of goodness is being expressed by Reiki.

Icha was very upset, only once did he feel like he wanted to be rude to someone. And what he did not expect, the first person he really slapped at this time was Reiki. A man, who became his reference in finding a husband later. This is completely beyond Icha's wildest imagination. Even in a dream, this girl did not want to face a person like that man.

“So, these are all lacquered sisters to win the selfishness of one's own sister, not for the sake of CLAUDIA!!!” icha exclaimed with a trembling voice, as it restrained his anger. In her heart, the girl kept calling her Lord's name many times.

Right on target, that's what happened. What Icha says today is very real, however undeniable, the personal egoism that leads him to do all these tactics. But it's definitely not, it's impossible for Reiki to admit everything. At the moment although he was aware that what Icha said was true, he did not want to admit it all.

“ICHA” snapped Reiki.

Icha was a little surprised by Reiki's voice, fortunately the corner of the cafe was empty there were no visitors. So no one, the one who realized that Reiki, had just raised his voice on the girl.

But not the name Icha if only by snapping it makes his guts shrivel, he even more burning because Reiki must be realized immediately.

But the girl tried to stay calm, nothing good would happen if the two people who were talking, both made short gestures and filled with anger.

“Kakak can choose, why should be in a way that is not good?. Brother knows what will happen if you try to get Claudia, in a bad way like this, what you think after Claudia knows all the evil plans of the brother later, what you think, she still wants to be with sister?”

Okay, double kill. Icha wins again, and Reiki knows it's impossible for a girl like Claudia to forgive herself in the future, when she hears about all the plans that Reiki has put in place. But it's still later, you can think of a way out at other times, that's what Reiki thought. Yet at this moment he could only coat all his guilt with emotion, once again he snapped at Icha.

“ICHA!!”

This time Icha could not help but cry, the girl cried out in silence. He was still struggling so that he could speak clearly to Reiki. Realizing what he was doing was wrong, Reiki quietly called out the girl's name, slowly enough that Icha could not listen to what Reiki said.

Icha, who had bowed after being yelled at by Reiki a second time, now gathered all her courage, because she realized there would be no second chance, to talk to Reiki. The girl looked back into Reiki's eyes, wiping away her tears.

“Please..kakak snapped Icha, maki-maki Icha, if you want to sickin Icha is up to you. Icha accepts, but Icha has a duty to prevent all this madness. As much as Icha's affection is with Claudia, so much so that Icha respects ka Reiki. Brother should know, there will be no good results if how to achieve it with bad”

Triple kill, again what Icha said penetrated Reiki. But once again this man was unwilling to accept, even though this time he did not use anger as a camouflage of his helplessness.

Reiki looked down, and he wanted to cry. Actually Reiki also can not understand, why he got like this, he wanted to stop, but it is impossible, for Claudia is everything. Her fear that Claudia would not choose herself as a life partner, made her do all this madness.

“You don't know anything Icha” exclaimed Reiki shriveled, still down.

Icha's heart aches to see Reiki in front of her, she knows since they were kids Reiki loved Claudia very much, and one day just as Claudia returned to Indonesia, Reiki lost control. From there Icha concluded, that Reiki did not consider Claudia as a sister. Loss may have changed the position of Claudia in Reiki, she became very possessive of the girl.His peak when Claudia 14th birthday, Icha cried seeing Reiki asking Silvana to marry Claudia.

Reiki is not a pedophile, he knows that the young man only loves Claudia, only the girl is nothing else.

“Icha understands, I want Claudia to belong to my sister. But you must realize, there is no one human in this world, who can satisfy other human egos, if you are still selfish like this in the end you will only destroy your life

“But I can't see Claudia belong to someone else Cha. Even if I have to kill someone else, make Claudia dapetin I'll sell it”

It's gone too far, kill what?!, maybe Reiki is watching too many love story movies between the main cast and a yandere. Congratulations Reiki, you have opened Pandora's box belonging to Icha, because this girl can no longer be calm. He should be angry now, and it was all because of the bouncing thoughts that came out of Reiki's mouth.

“THEN ASK FOR KA, ASK FOR HELP WITH OUR CREATOR!”

Reiki's eyes widened, only this time Icha shouted with such emotions. It is not unusual for Reiki to be surprised, because Icha never yells or berates someone. Even when he was a child, when Alif raved on him many times Icha just crying or istighfar, just like what his mother taught him. She's a limited edition girl, just like Claudia, they're both like attractive magnets, which is why even though their nature is different, still they can be very familiar.

“So much love for humans, until we forget that in this world, since we were born everything has been in the same course above. Not all of our wishes can go according to our wishes brother!!, are you not ashamed of yourself brother?! Where are you always the wise Reiki?!, where do you think Claudia, Icha and bang Alif are doing good?!, where do you go to Reiki who has a soft heart, where do you go, who always cares about the people around you?! WHERE ARE YOU?!”

The girl was really upset, she now understood why if Claudia often hit people, maybe this is what her best friend felt, because Icha also now really wanted to hit Reiki, she said, but still he can't.

“Icha is angry with what sister is doing, but Icha is even more angry with the decision of a sister like this, whether since when ka Reiki lost her mind, Icha is really disappointed with sister!!!” Icha who was crying, passed straight through Reiki. While the man could only accept, that he had indeed gone mad. All the reasons that he had been repeating to justify his actions had faded.

With a reflex the man pulled on Icha's arm, which was not too far away. “Icha” exclaims Reiki who is also now crying. The two men looked at each other, before Icha roughly removed Reiki's grasp.

“Don't hold Icha, we're not mukhrim” exclaimed Icha very angry at Reiki, the girl ran immediately to pick up her bag without caring about the strange gaze from Syakilla, then walked to the cashier's desk, the girl ran immediately took her bag without caring about the strange gaze from Syakilla, then walked to the cashier's desk, and came out with a mental condition that was not enough, leaving Reiki who was now, could only squat while covering his face.

“I'm sorry I'm Cha, but I won't stop.at least I can't stop now.” exclaimed Reiki blankly.
