Miss Hurray, I Love You!

Twenty-three

"Where's my motorbike rental?"

Just as Alsava turned off the motor engine in front of the house, the sound of Tedi charging the rent a motorbike has been heard to make Alsava tickle pretend to be upset.

Alsava slowly went down and helped Roman get off the bike while taking her husband. After making sure Roman had stood up well leaning against one of the wooden supports of the house, Alsava took all the pockets of crackles hanging in front of the motor. Sort it out for a while and then give Tedi two bags of crackles filled with martabak and four packs of meatballs.

"Now, make people home. Thanks for the motor loan! Don't forget tomorrow to take your sister to the bus terminal."

Tedi received the two bags of crackles with sparkling eyes. But upon hearing Alsava's last sentence, the twinkle in Tedi's eyes dimmed. The teenager looked at his brother with sadness.

"Does my sister have to go to town?" ask Tedi in a soft voice.

Alsava smiled and patted his sister's arm gently.

"Envigent learning so that you can be smart and get an established job. Your school fees will transfer each month. Promise you a serious school do not date mulu."

Choose not to answer Tedi's questions and replace them with long sentences full of advice. After the Father died Alsava did become more with Tedi than Dea and bu Dewi. They love each other as a sister.

"Oh yes Brother come in first, go home already malem!"

Alsava's smile expands at the end of the sentence, choosing to escape rather than longer staring at the sad face of Tedi who did not want to be left to go to the city.

Hastily unlock the house and go inside without closing the door. Roman just stared at the back of Alsava who had entered the house.

"Dude."

Roman turned to Tedi who was now in front of him, they were only two steps away. Roman only muttered in response.

"May I ask you something?"

"What's? I don't have Ted's money," Roman replied rather scared when asked by his sister-in-law while he didn't hold the money. Roman smiled ignorantly at the change in Tedi's facial expression.

"I don't need anything, I just want to take Sava. Ever since I died, Sava struggled alone and suffered. Please start now to make her happy."

Roman was slightly stunned to hear Tedi's request which he sincerely said. Roman sighed softly then smiled faintly towards his sister-in-law.

"Surely, you must take care of your brother."

The night breeze gently hit the faces of Tedi and Roman, present as a silent witness to the agreement of two men of different ages.

"Tedi said what?" alsava asked when Roman had entered the house and sat down on the side seat of Alsava.

"The guy's mouth."

Alsava screeched not liking to hear her husband's answer. Roman just boasted a smile feeling good about successfully teasing Alsava.

***

"Is nothing left?" roman asked as Alsava locked the door.

"It's all right" replied Alsava.

The girl's eyes scanned the two travel bags that were on her hands. A small backpack was also attached to his back. While Roman, the man did not bring anything because it was forbidden by Alsava to remember his legs that had not been fully healed.

"Gilver."

Alsava raised his head then slightly jerked when he saw several neighbors gathered in front of his house.

"What's the matter, ladies?" the girl placed both travel bags on the ground and stepped closer towards the mothers.

As soon as Alsava approached, Tini's mother was the first to embrace and embrace Alsava and bid farewell. After Tini, the other mothers hugged her in turn. They are loyal customers of Alsava both when selling food and when offering services. Alsava's heart warms up to this kind of treatment.

"Sister?"

Alsava turned to the source of the voice, the smile that had been receding since seeing someone approaching while carrying a baby. Alsava stared flatly at the person approaching him without any intention of making a sound.

Dea lowered her head feeling ashamed of herself for her evil treatment of the older sister who still cared and wanted to help when she was in a difficult time.

"I also apologize for all my bad behavior." The more bowed the head of Dea.

"Get up, now there are children who are your responsibility," said Alsava advised while touching the delicate cheeks of Dea children who are just one month old.

"Let's go!"

Alsava raised his head to look at Tedi who was already standing beside Bahri, apparently the boy came with a rented angkot that was usually supported by Bahri as his work the last two weeks.

Alsava picked up the travel bag and began to step into the angkot, from behind Roman followed slowly and slightly limped. The girl waved at the mothers who were still not moving as the angkot car moved slowly.

"You skipped Ted's school?" alsava asked Tedi who was sitting next to Bahri, while he and Roman sat in the back.

"Hehe.. "

Instead of answering Tedi even grinned. The boy, muttered Alsava in his heart while shaking slowly.

After a few tens of minutes they finally arrive at a terminal, Alsava hugs and bids Tedi back as well as Roman does. While with Bahri Alsava not much talk just nod and smile.

Alsava and Roman finally board an inter-city bus that will take them to the big city, hoping better luck will say hello soon. During the trip, Alsava, sitting next to the window, remained silent and stared at the scene behind the window.

While Roman chose to sleep filled the travel time that would take six to seven hours.

When silent like this, Alsava remembered the incident two days ago.

Alsava who had just returned from work from the meatballs shop was walking in a hurry because he felt followed by someone. For the past week, she has felt she was being watched. With an agitated heart and a fast-paced chest, Alsava tried to think positively by continuing to speed up the pace.

It was still late in the afternoon, the sky was not even dark. But Alsava felt the atmosphere was getting gripping especially the streets he passed suddenly deserted. Usually at this hour there are still some mothers and children sitting in the yard, but today somehow there is no one outside the house.

Up to a corner where there is abandoned vacant land, someone pulled Alsava's arm firmly and dragged him away to a cambling post not far from there.

"Who are you?" alsava asked stammered, the girl slightly trembled while hugging her own arm.

The girl's head turned to the left and right hoping for someone passing by to ask for help.

Oh my God, where is everyone? Why so quiet today?

The man wearing a black leather jacket complete with matching colored hats and masks was seen looking at him full of intimidation making Alsava even more trembling with fear.

"What do you want? I'm just a poor girl with no money." As powerful as Alsava covered his nervousness as he said.

"Please get young master Rafan back to his place."

Deg

Suddenly Alsava's heart seemed to stop beating, his breathing suddenly congested to hear the words of the man in front of him. The sound of slow but full of emphasis makes the feathers of Alsava stand.

What did he say just now? young master Rafan? Was he Roman, the man he found that night? The man who is now her husband? inner Alsava fights itself with many questions.

"After arriving in town call this number, we'll pick up young master Rafan as soon as possible."

The man thrust out the piece of paper that Alsava took out with trembling hands. After that the man in the black jacket left Alsava who suddenly drowned and sat crouching on the ground.

Alsava glanced at Roman's deep face leaning on his shoulder. Staring at the man who for four months more accompanied his days.

It was time for my brother to come home. Go home to where you should be.

One clear circle just fell, it turns out his heart was comfortable with the presence of Roman to not be willing if the man left his life.

Once you know everything, you will hate me.

Knowing the possibility that Roman would hate when he knew the lies he made, made Alsava's chest tight. The girl cried silently for the rest of their journey towards the city.
