ME VS MY BROTHER'S

Episode 24

Claudia had seen her phone so many times, she somehow wanted to call her best friend Icha. Honestly, the firsat is not good, he thinks about Icha, usually if it is like this there is something bad happening to Icha.

“Hufft...Icha.take up cha...why don't you pick up my phone...”.

Icha still did not reply to his message, or even contacted him back. Claudia's mind was in a state of shock.

Until the sound of knocking from the outside made Claudia realize. The girl opened the door of her room immediately.

“Iya why mba Kokom?”

“That's non, eyang rusuh non to his room”

“Eh, oh yaudah put me there..makasih mba Kokom..”.

“Iya non..”

Claudia rushed out of her room, walking towards Nesya's room. Still worried about Icha, the girl walked over with a shunt. Until he realized Aksa had just come out of his eye room.

It's only 5pm, why is Aksa home?, this is weird. Claudia could only tilt her head, because she was confused, but this morning she clearly said, that she would be overtime until night.

Aksa's face is also not good, it seems like the man has just been in tremendous trouble. It was really chaotic, that was what Aksa had, messy hair, loose tie, even his disheveled face, added to the long list of problems Aksa had faced.

Claudia who was there, also pretended not to see Aksa, but yes in vain, emang Claudia thought this in what film. Of course Aksa realized that his sister was already very close to him.

Claudia's absurd behavior also became, I don't know what use the girl walked sideways. Aksa understands that this girl is still embarrassed to meet him, after a hot night that culminates with Claudia's stupor. Moreover, the habit of sleeping, a zombie style belonging to Claudia is very strange according to Aksa.

“You did the heck Di..” exclaimed Aksa while chuckling.

Claudia crossed her hands in front of her face. The girl shook her head many times.

“Udah cepetan eyang waiting for you tuh” exclaimed Aksa passed Claudia while ruffling the girl's hair, then passed away with a smile.

Claudia could only remain silent, as she was shocked by what Aksa had done. Why suddenly Aksa became acting like a nosy sister, rather than someone who tried to be Claudia's lover, something was awkward. Claudia's heart ached as she thought about it, she had already begun to realize that she was in love with Aksa, but it might be for the best. The girl exhaled violently, and immediately walked into her eye room.

Claudia slowly knocked on Nesya's room door, until her beloved grandmother let her in.

“Eyang, said mba Kokom earlier call ade?”

“Iya darling, come in here, eyang want to chat with you”

Claudia went into the room, and as Nesya ordered, Claudia was sitting next to her eyes.

There was something strange, his eyes had been smiling, but why did it feel like Nesya wanted to cry. Slowly the woman who is about to turn 65 years old, stroking the head of her favorite grandson.

“Ade next month already 17 years yes, ga kasa granddaughter eyenya soon already want to be the wife of people”

Claudia did not answer her eyes, she just kept quiet while playing the tip of her grandmother's shirt. The longer, Claudia's sitting position changed, now the girl had leaned her body on Nesya's shoulders.

“Small ade time, ade think ade will be the same marriage as ka Reiki, but why yes, pas ade really want to marry ka Reiki, ade even sad.”.

“Ade love Iki?” Nesya seemed to know that Claudia was not yet convinced of her choice. The girl was a bit surprised, when she heard what her eyes were asking, until she returned to her sitting position and looked at her eyes.

Nesya was silent with a smile, she was like waiting for an answer from her grandson. However Claudia was instantly moody, she just lowered her head before answering her grandmother's question.

“Honey to see...but?” claudia replied with a frown.

“But?”

“Uhm yes it is ehang.ade love same ka Reiki, but rich same sister like that.” Claudia answered the question while playing her long hair.

Nesya sighed, she did not say much when Reiki and his family came. This woman prefers to pay attention and analyze what will happen to her granddaughter. Plus Nesya is well aware, for Claudia Reiki position is only as an older brother who is very dear grandson.

“Kalo equals Aksa?” asked Nesya who wanted to ascertain her granddaughter's feelings once again.

If Claudia could define her feelings about Reiki well, then inversely proportional to Aksa, this girl only had a surprised face, and a face that was flushed with embarrassment. Unbeknownst to Claudia, Nesya was actually already aware of her granddaughter's feelings, because of the way Claudia looked at the young man like a woman in love.

To be honest Nesya cannot 100% support what is happening to the two people. This mother of Silvana wants both of them to have a peaceful life, and if they both unite Nesya understands and knows both grandchildren it must remove the word ‘damia’ from their lives, at least as long as the besi is alive and Bram still wants Aksa to marry Syakilla.

Bram's extended family is also unlikely to agree, let alone they have hated Aksa and Aini a long time ago. Although they like Silvana but there is no guarantee, they will be silent to see Aksa with Claudia, especially Syakilla is still one of Priambudi's honorable extended family. Nesya really did not want Claudia to feel what Aini, her nephew, had experienced.

 “Hah...uhm e...eyang..a...a..what the hell is...kalo ka Aksa ade...”.

“That knows, ade likes it same Aksa?”

The girl's body stiffened, how this eye already knew her feelings for Aksa, indeed Claudia could never lie to Nesya. It was indeed too telisik and sensitive, but still Claudia was shocked.

“But you have to know de, if until you do choose Aksa to be your life companion, everything will not go easy, your life may not go well. Wherever your position is brother sister, even though your step stepfather will not be that easy to agree”

Not wanting to give false hope and sweet sentences, that's what Claudia's grandmother did. He did not want to make his granddaughter dream of something that would not happen, but it was clear that it would be difficult to be happy at the beginning if Aksa still wanted Claudia to be his wife. That's why Nesya asked Aksa to make his own company.

“Ade know kok..” said Claudia who is now giving her tears, of course this is not an easy thing, for a woman who is only 2 months old again aged 17 years.

“You know why you are applying from Reiki?”

Claudia simply nodded, although most of the reasons she agreed to the proposal from Reiki were because Reiki had threatened her but the other reason was because she did not want to get into trouble in the future.

 “Reiki problems also you have to think about, many of which you must consider, your decision to choose between Reiki or Aksa it can impact many people de..”

“Iya eyang..”

“You can discuss it with your father later.”.

Claudia's eyes instantly widened, she was surprised to hear what Nesya said. The discussion meant that he could meet his father, and it was clear that Claudia was very happy.

“Dad?!”

“Iya, this morning Galina phone eyang, said your father was already until Jakarta”

“Uhm..uhm grandma says what's eyang..?”

Claudia couldn't help but feel happy, Claudia smiled so widely, she wanted to scream because she was happy. But such a reaction alone does not seem enough, at this time the girl feels like running around in the style of Indian films, or at least she wants to jump around in excitement, he said, but he did not do it because he was afraid that his mother had returned home and heard what she and Nesya were talking about.

“Ya that's just that..but de, be patient first yes..later to say it's your bundle, so you can quality time with Zen, don't suddenly you run away and meet your father. Later you may not meet with him again”

“Every eye, ade dear same eye...hehehehe!!!” Claudia directly hugged her eyes very tightly. He was so happy that he forgot about his problem with Reiki and Aksa.

“Despicious basis, just crying, now laughing...lucky eyang dear hahaha..”.

“Eyang mah...hehehe”.

The voice of Claudia's phone stopped hugging between the two people, Claudia just realized about Icha, hopefully there is information about her best friend.

“Uhm Eyang snapped, any ade...Alif phone????”

Nesya nodded, gesturing for Claudia to pick up the call from Alif.

‘Halo Lif?”

‘Di, you can contact Icha not?’

‘Gw even try the phone, send a chat also ga dales same him...gw afraid he why-why Lif, everything is fine right?’

There was a pause of a few seconds, when Claudia said that she also could not contact her best friend since childhood. Alif's voice also seemed to state that something was not right, this made Claudia's heart beat very fast.

‘Claudia lo dengerin gw, but promise don't panic’

‘Udah spout Lif, Icha why....??’

‘Gw can not contact Icha from 1 hour earlier, I've tried to phone Shiva, Melvin, Yudha, Rima, until members Rohis, the same Osis, no one knows Icha where’

Claudia immediately got up from her seat, it felt like she wanted to cry. Icha has never done anything like this, his friend always gives information to the closest people if they want to go or visit somewhere. Claudia knew very well what Icha was like, angry at the girl, she would not do things that made everyone worry like this to her.

‘Lif...do not start deh, you are not funny..gw seriously afraid Icha why-why..I swear this is not funny Lif’.

‘Lo Kira I'm kidding Di, Icha it's more valuable than anything in the world for me. I can bye from the world if Icha sampe why-napa.’ exclaimed Alif with a rather high tone on Claudia.

Alif's voice shook, it was true for Alif besides his mother Icha was the number 1 woman he always had to see, no matter how Icha was his twin, and his beloved sister. Although trying not to panic but still, at the end of the day Alif can not control his worry and fear. What happened was beyond the habits of his beloved sister.

‘Alif...’.

‘This nyokap gw also already cry, bokap gw same father lo also otw want to come here.’.

‘Dad gw? How can om Bima now same father gw?!’

‘Iya I promise you really can't tell you, but this is urgent. Can not you ask permission same nyokap lo, make it to Mall Sentosa if you can invite bang Aksa too, the more people who are looking for Icha, the better. I'm waiting for ya Di, bye’

Claudia puts her phone in her pants pocket, she rushes to tell Icha what happened, Nesya and herself go straight out of the room, and look for Silvana.

“De, you said to Aksa, eyang call your mother. Cepet yes..”

Claudia nodded, in her heart she kept praying that her best friend would be fine.
