ME VS MY BROTHER'S

Episode 84

“All are Ki?” zen asked while helping pack Reiki's things.

The man nodded with a smile.

“Kak...kakak sure you want to go back to Indonesia?” claudia asked as she put the powerbank into the bag that Reiki was going to carry.

Sure enough? Honestly no, but he promised Claudia to clean up all the mess she had done.

There is not much Reiki can do, but at least he is trying to atone for his sins.

“Many things I have to take care of, although not sure I can not back down either.” exclaimed Reiki with a smile.

Claudia was stunned, for some reason her premonition was good about the return of Reiki to the homeland. He felt Reiki would return to being his kind and dependable older brother.

“Om is proud of you Ki” Zen patted Reiki on the back, encouraging his nephew.

“Sorry is difficult, but it is much harder to admit our own mistakes, then dare to take responsibility and correct the mistakes that have been made.” exclaimed Zen.

If it is not too late to repent, then nothing is impossible to fix yourself to be a better person.

A warm atmosphere like this, like a panacea for Reiki. He feels peace, even though his love claps one hand and has to end, for some reason on the other he feels peace.

Half the burden and discomfort that he had felt as if he was lifted and disappeared like water vapor in the air. It was too late to realize that his ego was constantly making him go wrong.

In the past 3 weeks, much has been discussed with Claudia, including the girl's feelings when she learned what she was doing to have Claudia part with Aksa.

Fearing that Claudia would hate him and refuse to see him again, Reiki begins to learn that forgiveness is better, rather than harboring deep hatred.

At the same time, he also learned that happiness is not an achievement based on ego and lust, but how much peace and comfort that can be felt and also obtained.

Claudia taught him a lot. Yes, enough to open his eyes that all this time he has wasted a lot of people who are very attentive also love him with all his heart.

In the end, Reiki decided to fix everything. In less than a month and with many things he received, including the affection Claudia showed after all the bad things that happened to him, Reiki gave up on pursuing Claudia's love.

However, Reiki realizes that she loves Claudia very much and it is impossible for her to forget Claudia just like that, so she chooses to stay by Claudia's side as an older sister instead of a lover, just like what her favorite girl asked for.

“Om stay first ya” exciting Zen while picking up the phone.

Reiki and Claudia nodded, they were still focused on the items they were packing.

“This part we bring to the post office aja ya ka?” claudia said as she moved some of Reiki's possessions.

“Darling, do not you lift it heavy..” Reiki immediately stood up when he saw Claudia trying to move the big box in front of him.

Reiki immediately took the box that was being lifted by the little girl, then left Claudia who was petrified.

Honey?, hmmm if Claudia heard it a few months ago the girl must have felt awkward, because she knew the meaning of affection in question was the name of the handkerchief, a beloved call intended for couples. But now the awkwardness is fading, since Reiki said that he would give up, the call ‘sayang’ feels like when Claudia was a child, Claudia said, reiki still positions himself as a super duper protective older brother.

“Kak...” Claudia smiled weakly as she approached Reiki who was behind her, the man was focusing on labeling her things.

“Hmmm what??” reiki replied but did not look at Claudia.

Slowly Claudia hugged Reiki's body from behind, the girl closed her eyes slowly.

Reiki on the other hand also did not say a word, he knew that this was the last time Claudia took the initiative to embrace him like that. This man sighed then grabbed Claudia's hand which was definitely coiled around her waist.

Slowly Reiki turned her body around, not wanting to miss her last chance to hug the girl she had loved all her life.

This man stared at Claudia's tiny face, he touched the entire face of Claudia, trying to remember how beautiful the girl was. Neither did Claudia, she let Reiki touch her face.

As Reiki touched Claudia's thin lips, all the memories of her first kiss with Claudia were twisted in her head.

“Can I kiss you?” exciting Reiki.

Reiki lowered her head, she smiled sadly. He knew that this might still be difficult for Claudia to do. On the other hand Claudia felt guilty, but seeing Reiki's cute reaction like that, Claudia smiled.

“Uhm, if you do not permit, it's okay.” has not finished Reiki talk, Claudia has kissed Reiki's lips briefly.

Reiki's face was completely flushed red, she didn't expect Claudia to briefly kiss her lips. Don't ask Claudia, it feels like she wants to go in the hole and hide there.

“One more time Di...” exclaimed Reiki, directly wrapped his hands around Claudia's waist, and again kissed the girl.

Everything feels very slow for the two of them, yes Reiki so enjoy the moment together with Claudia. They took off the pagutan and smiled at each other, then took off their arms.

“Ka??”

“Di...can I kiss you one last time?” reiki in a soft voice.

He had gone mad indeed, still expecting Claudia to be willing to kiss him. However he wants to live without any regrets at all, he wants to live with a memory where Claudia can accept him, at least he wants to have the girl in his heart.

Then how was Claudia's attitude, this girl was honestly surprised. He just stared at Reiki's face which looked very sad.

“Sorry..sorry me...my request is too heavy yes.ma.” Reiki stretched out his embrace, he had given up much less what he expected.

But not finished talking, Claudia suddenly pulled Reiki's collar and kissed the man.

Reiki can only be petrified, until finally re-hugging the girl's tiny body.

Both Reiki and Claudia are now both crying, both still kissing and not letting go of each other.

But this is the last one, after that there will be no love story between the two of them, they have decided to be together as brother and sister as before.

‘Kak..Msorry I can not meet the expectations of my brother, sorry I am always selfish and always troublesome brother.. Be happy...promise to be free and happy, because brother deserves to get the best..’ Claudia murmured in her heart.

He can feel it if Reiki also knows that this is the last time they can get this close.

While in Reiki's mind at this time, he seemed to be played again all the facial expressions of Claudia, from the time she first met Claudia who was very small, to the time where Claudia called her name.

All the first things related to Reiki, neatly arranged in his current memory. The nostalgia made this man unable to stop shedding tears.

‘Sorry.sorry because you have to get hurt just because I can't sincerely see you with others.sorry because I'm not a good enough person to accompany you until I close my eyes, I'm sorry I always forced you to understand my position...Claudia, I am grateful to be with you even if not as a couple.I'm sorry Claudia, happy..goodbye my love..’ Reiki said in her heart.

The two then ended the moment and stretched their arms, but neither Claudia nor Reiki both gave up their eyes.

They looked at each other for a long time, until they finally laughed.

“Kak kak eyes kok can bengep that anyway, even though only cry for a while.” said Claudia while laughing.

“Ei, you ngetawain brother but you do not know..you snot it” Reiki then take his handkerchief.

This kind of feeling had not been felt by the two of them for a long time.

Reiki who had finished cleaning Claudia's face, suddenly just peeked at the girl's forehead, he smiled afterwards.

“Goodbye, my love\~”

Somewhere else...

“Ichaaaaaaaa !!!” Shouting Rima.

Icha smiled seeing her best friend coming while running.

“Sorry I'm late? It was jammed really” said Rima while panting.

Icha chuckled, she did not expect that Rima would run because she was late.

“It's okay, relax aja”

“Mana can relax Cha !!!!”

Icha is confused, why suddenly Rima so excited, even though among his close friends Rima is the most relaxed.

“What's wrong Ma ??? Until you get that? The place also will not move and I am also relaxed aja kan”

Icha still did not understand, it was already quite strange when Rima asked him to meet, even forcing him to leave. Though today Icha is quite busy because it has to take care of the building that will soon be inaugurated as an orphanage owned by his family.

“OHO will you relax if I take this news I hear?”

News ? What news??? Think Icha. This girl also scrunched her forehead.

“You know, Ka Reiki wants to go back to Indonesia !!!”
