ME VS MY BROTHER'S
Episode 78's
“Claudia let's take a photo here first.” exclaim Zen with a smile.
Today is the day Claudia graduated from college, of course Claudia's graduation is very much awaited by Zen. Pride and relief made this man shed tears, he also felt sad.
It's nothing, his time with Claudia was missed so quickly that he knew this girl had finished college, whether there were many moments of life belonging to his daughter who had been missed so far, he said, of course Zen would not waste it anymore. This man knew what he had to do now that he had turned a blind eye, he wanted to dedicate his life to accompanying as well as supporting all the things his daughter had done.
“Ih...dad why cry???” Claudia wiped the tears on Zen's cheek.
“This is your first graduation that I attended, so far I can not nemenin you when graduation SD, Junior High School, too…even when you ride the belt and judo cheese father can not come to support you..maafin father..” Zen hugged his little daughter, waves of emotions simultaneously make both of them cry simultaneously.
“Claudia..”.
Hearing his name called the girl turned her head, not far from Zen and herself stood Reiki with a colorful flower bouqet, in her right hand there was also a teddy bear that was quite large, quite large, made Claudia smile broadly.
“Ka Reiki” exclaims Claudia with passion.
“Congratulations yes...” Reiki smiled and gave Claudia her gift, of course Reiki knew what the girl liked. Claudia is very much a teddy bear, no matter how angry the girl is, there is no way she rejects the cute teddy bear.
“Thank you, uh yes today we have dinner outside, dad said you want to celebrate my graduation, brother vacant will it be malem?”
“Uhm..”.
Reiki hesitates to tell Claudia that she already has an important appointment with someone and cannot be canceled.
“Today I..”.
“Why? Brother has an appointment???” claudia asked as she tilted her head.
“Uhm yes..but maybe I can follow..” explains Reiki.
Claudia frowned, maybe she was wrong but right now Reiki looked very uncomfortable and even tended to be nervous. Since the incident about the perverted video a few years ago, Claudia has indeed become more cautious and suspicious of everyone, he said, rather than not knowing about Reiki's involvement in the scandal involving Syakila and her half-sister, Aksa.
“Yaudah, I also most join the gathering for a while abis it go first...kak not want to meet the same friends brother also????”
“Gak..” says Reiki is short.
“Eeeee? Continue brother wants to meet with who dong if not friends on campus?” search Claudia.
Instantly Reiki's eyes became unfocused, why did he not answer if the one he wanted to meet was a fellow doctor at the university hospital where he studied. Now he wanted to curse his mouth.
“I mean I was yes I want to meet my lecturer, they are confident I made a discussion about one of the patients who were again hospitalized..uhm so yes not a friend right...” Reiki tried to explain, the goal was clear so that Claudia would no longer be suspicious of him.
“Oh so...ok deh..” Claudia smiled as if satisfied to hear Reiki's explanation.
But is that right?, not of course not. In the heart of this girl was increasingly suspicious of what her fiance explained. The reason may be very reasonable, but Reiki's behavior when explaining is not at all like usual, Claudia believes that the man who just gave her the teddy bear is hiding something from her.
What the girl can do now is to remain vigilant and not show her feelings for Reiki, the point is clear because she does not want Reiki also become suspicious of her.
Although forgiving Reiki does not mean that Claudia accepts the crimes committed by her fiance, for whatever reason this girl must be able to stop Reiki from returning to do something crazy.
“Ka I went there first yes..di called me temen-temenku...kalo later brother can chat father aja ya ka..” Claudia exclaimed, this girl waved her hand and was replied by Reiki.
Claudia, how could Reiki tell who she was going to meet with this afternoon. His greatest fear began to surface, if not for the important thing he could not have preferred to meet others and miss the moment of graduation celebration of the girl he loved so much.
Reiki let out a rough sigh, he knew lying really didn't suit him. He did commit a crime but to be dishonest in front of Claudia was not an option he would take. He covers up his mistakes but chooses to avoid and does not discuss anything related to Aksa and all the ugliness he has done.
‘Maybe this is the first and the last, after this we can live in peace.Claudia I love..’ Reiki murmured in heart.
Little did Reiki know, not only did Claudia pay attention to him but Zen as well. His uncle knows exactly what Reiki is doing and he will try his hardest to stop Reiki, if the concerned try to do something that has the potential to hurt Claudia again.
Elsewhere……
3 Young men are sitting in a restaurant, one of them is busy calling.
“Halo?..iya this has been until at the promised restaurant..iya aunty calm down...nothing is it....this has arrived, aunty patient everything can definitely be completed well..ok, I close first yes tan the phone.ok yes tan, thank you..wa’allaikumussalam..” said the youth with a scarf in deep red.
Finished calling the young man's facial expression changed, he was really angry at this moment, it felt like he wanted to slam his phone in front of his friends.
He stared intently at two of his friends who were now trying to find their own busyness, because they felt the atmosphere became very uncomfortable.
The young man who was talking through the cell phone let out a rough sigh. It could not be this he thought, if the two people in front of him were still acting as if nothing had happened, the problem would not be resolved.
“Could stop not confessing unimportant things richly so..” said the young man with his scarf red color.
“Uhm….Co...gw...”
“Hanif, Eros honestly I-gw really disappointed with you guys..lu people know not, this is related to the big family gw you know...Claudia it ade cousin gw, you are all crazy what is it? Nyimpen this secret for many years?!”
Yes, the three young men are Hanif, Eros, also Nico cousin of Claudia, and they will be met by Reiki later.
“Errrrrr, I really want to tell you but afraid you are angry Co...” said Hanif timidly.
“Eh brain fly do you think now I'm not angry? If I can really want to throw you use a chair.lu do not know nyokapnya ka Reiki had fainted pas denger behavior ka Reiki.” explained Nico amazingly upset.
Eros and Hanif can only be quiet, they know keeping things a secret like this might not be a good choice, but telling everyone is also not a wise choice.
Amidst Nico's unrelenting scolding on Hanif, Eros instead thought of a letter that was now in his hands. He remembered before leaving for work with Hanif and Nico.
‘Ka Eros, somehow I have a hunch that you can meet your sister Reiki when you go to Japan later.kalo brother meet her please take this letter to her brother.’.
Eros bowed his head and closed his eyes, promising to always do whatever his beloved girl asked.
‘Icha, I know where your heart is linked.. After all this time you still care about him.’ Eros murmured in heart.
Actually, when he was asked the letter, Eros began to understand the main reason why his application for the past 2 years had always been rejected by Icha. He finally understood that the conflict experienced by his best friend was not the only main trigger until Icha wanted to involve himself, unconsciously the girl acted because she wanted to protect one person and obviously it was Reiki.
Eros heart certainly hurt, but he tried to make everything clear, he had to surrender because all the things that happened on the face of this earth have been outlined.
‘God willing I trust Cha, even though my heart hurts.but I will convey whatever is in this letter.’ Eros muttered in his heart while sighing softly.
