ME VS MY BROTHER'S

Episode 70's

Claudia enters a cafe where she made a pact with Eros. His older brother asked him to come, because there are things he wants to talk about.

When he entered the cafe, how shocked he was when he saw a young man waving his hand with a smile, of course Claudia approached the man.

What is beside it is Eros who is composing his laptop.

“Well is there a Hanif here?” claudia said confused, she put her bag aside and immediately sat down.

“There is dong, kan akoooh that provides information for all of you hehehe” said Hanif with a smile.

“Eros, you crazy huh? If you take ka Nico know about this, you can hang me !!!” Claudia panics, if Nico finds out there was an incident like this during his 3 years of graduation for S2 college, of course he must be angry and grieve Claudia mercilessly.

Hanif patted Claudia on the shoulder, as if wiping her tears, of course, only gesture.

“Not only you Di, whose safety is threatened if Nico sampe knows. I did too, can be drowned me.so just calm, I will not say anything, this secret is safe and finished until we are told aja” explained Hanif, who is just as afraid of Claudia.

“Udah do not have to think about it first, nih lo see Di.” Eros turned his laptop towards Claudia.

“CCTV??” claudia asked confusedly.

Eros nodded, pointing at the two men wearing black hoodies.

“For your information, these two men have followed me for almost a month”

During this time Eros realized that his movements were always monitored, although he did not say anything, he realized the people who were caught on CCTV in front of his house, several times seen around the campus, he said, even near the mosque where he used to follow studies.

Shocked instead of playing, Claudia begins to ask who the artist was until hiring someone to watch over Eros.

“Eros maybe they're your family's man? They are all abroad, maybe they are worried” said Claudia while forcing a smile, she already knows where Eros is talking, and who she accuses.

Claudia's smile disappeared right as Eros shook his head. Eros' parents have been home for several weeks, but the hoodie men are still around.

When asking his brother, Eros also got an answer that made him immediately assume.

“Gw already asked my sister, she said bokap same nyokap already ga hiring people again for spies gw after I actively participate in the study, I'm not interested, they say I have been this penyapain waste of money to ngawasin gw” explained Eros.

Claudia's palms turned cold, even now she felt dizzy. “Ja..so...mean lo...”.

“Assumption gw they are the people who were told by Reiki to follow me the same Icha for several months, they are ten, every day replacements ngawasin gw same Icha”

Claudia is silent, Icha? Why should his best friend get involved in something like this. It was beyond anything Claudia could have imagined.

Wait a minute if Eros' assumption is correct, Icha might not be okay. Has something happened to her best friend? it could be that Icha didn't tell him, because she didn't want Claudia to worry about him.

“Icha? How's it going?” ask Claudia to panic.

“Please, Icha will not be touched with them..” Hanif casually opens his laptop, while putting on a headset.

“How can you know?” ask Claudia.

“Dengerin this..and you will know that Eros assumption is right on target” Hanif then open a folder and give the headset to Claudia.

“Today's development how...”.

Hearing the voice in the file, Claudia's heart beat faster than usual, she knew exactly who was speaking. This girl could not hear the voice of anyone else who was answering Reiki's questions, her ears suddenly buzzing.

Eros, who realized that Claudia looked very pale, immediately stopped the recording being played. While Hanif patted Claudia's shoulder gently.

“Di...lo okay???” ask Eros.

Claudia, who was directly breathing again, nodded her head to signal that she wanted to hear more. Hanif continued the recording. Claudia is now focusing on listening.

“So so, ok follow the child..No I don't want to hurt him, if something bad happens to him because of you, you already know what will happen to you and your gang members?!....Ok, keep putting your men to watch over them, and remember not to be discovered, every day change people, understand ?....Yes, the payment I will double if you work really….Ok”

Tears began to gather in her eyes, Claudia living by listening to the voice that had spoken on the tape. Since childhood Reiki is the one who takes care of him, reading stories every time he wants to sleep, even long before he can remember anything, Reiki always take care of him, while his mother and father are busy working.

“Now I ask, we need to make sure, do you know the owner of the voice on the recording earlier?”

Hanif's question was answered with a nod by Claudia.

Eros and Hanif somehow feel sorry for Claudia, this girl is really hurt for what Reiki did. Reality is hard to accept, but it is life.

“Yes, it is quite difficult to make their full conversation. I think Reiki knows very well that there is a possibility that we are facing the conversation, so that is all I can get..” said Hanif.

“Claudia, this try lo check” Now it's Eros's turn to give you his laptop.

Claudia's body instantly shook violently, which Eros pointed out was a blacklist, a crime Reiki had and was perpetrating.

Whether she should say anything else, Claudia just wanted to believe that what happened to her now was a dream.

But unfortunately, this is not a dream all of this is real. Hanif began to explain one by one what was done by Reiki. Eros did not explain and was busy with his phone.

Eros suddenly says, that Icha has managed to ask Reiki to meet him. As planned by Hanif, he wanted Icha to stop Reiki, or at least make Claudia hear what really happened.

“Claudia, I know that opening the truth is scary, especially when you already have a hint if there is a high chance that you are forced to join their game. But, whatever it is you should know, after that it is up to you want to be rich how”

Hanif's words broke through the last defense that Claudia had, this girl ended up crying as she pleased.

“It's hard brother..I love the same to Reiki, he is also everything to me...although I do not see him as a man, he is still one of the people whose existence is important to me”.

Hanif and Eros looked at each other, these two men were confused as to what to do, seeing Claudia who was mentally starting to go down.

“I don't know how to live without him, but on the other hand I can't love him, for me he's always the brother I love” said Claudia.

Eros let out a rough sigh, he felt he had to resuscitate Claudia. The girl couldn't be spoiled and just slumped straight away. All these problems started with him, if he was more assertive maybe none of this would happen, Eros thought.

“Same bang Aksa?” said Eros ketus.

“Eros, I'm the same Aksa's sister...”

“Kakak ade??? I asked different not the same Aksa? You never saw him as a brother from the beginning? Honestly I can understand the position of the panic Reiki, because the girl he likes to be taken by other people who just know less than 1 year.”.

Which man is not angry, when the woman he loves so much and takes care of all his life, just taken away people. Very reasonable Eros sense, he could understand the man's feelings.

“Di, sorry I do not want to harm you.but I think this is widening because you are less assertive de..Take this your learning in mature, so please do not repeat it again. This time make sure who you choose, or.”.

“Or what about Hanif??”

“Or do not choose both.During this national test, you go with Zen om there, stay away from them both, start a new life. But, if during your lecture, your heart is still attached to one person yes you just stay back here. I'm sure humans bucin macem Reiki the same Aksa, would be happy to wait”

Eros nodded a few times, indeed there was still such an option. You don't have to force yourself to choose now.

After discussing what they were going to do tomorrow, they finally ended the meeting that day. Claudia came out of the cafe very lethargic.

“Di..” call Hanif with a smile.

Claudia walked over to the man, she still lowered her head while pouting.

“Kakakak know kaya is not the place for your lecture like before, we are not that close until you have to hear what I'm talking about, but believe me deh I care about you. Make me his sister Nico means my sister too, the family must protect each other right?” hanif encouraged Claudia.

“Iya thanks ka..” Claudia smiled, she felt grateful to have so many people who care about her.

“And another one In...mendingan you change your intention..”.

“Call brother meant?”

“My attention, the side where you want to prove that Reiki is clean of all alleged crimes, is greater than your desire to move on and be assertive.”.

What Hanif said was right on target, honestly he really wanted to prove that his conjecture had been wrong, but the evidence said otherwise, that was a huge blow to Claudia.

“Remember Di, sometimes as a human being being flexible is important, but being hesitant in a protracted manner can trap you in the future. You must be able to distinguish, and be flexible in acting in each condition is ‘different’ you understand right?”

　

　

Claudia nodded, tomorrow is the day of determination….
