One week has passed since Dhafa's arrival at Akia's home, but Pipit's response has not been marked by the girl accepting Dhafa as her brother. Even now that the girl was no longer living in the house of Akia, Rio brought Pipit to live in his apartment.
Although living in one house they both still decided to separate rooms, rather Rio who wants it. It was not without reason that Rio asked for that, as an adult man who had lust, he did not want to be released.
Staying one house with the girl he loved let alone their status was actually already legitimate, making Rio sometimes have to strongly refrain from pouncing on Pipit. He was determined before he returned to marry Pipit with his biological guardian, Rio would not touch the girl.
Like this morning, Rio again had to let out a long sigh and hold back something that was stirring in his heart when he saw his wife's increasingly beautiful face. Even though the girl only wears a long robe like the usual day, only the difference in color she wears today is so contrasted with her skin that is not white but also not black.
The long purple lavender color made the girl look even sweeter, and again unfortunately Rio had to refrain from hugging her.
"Assalamualaikum.good morning.". Sapa Pipit while preparing her morning breakfast on the table when she saw Rio who came out of the room with a neat dress.
"Waalaikumussalam wr wb dear, morning too." Staring at his wife's face at a glance with a smile engraved on his handsome face. " Thank you sweet." Her impression with a seductive tone
Pipit smiled wryly, since the two girls' lives were getting here getting to know the nature and character of Rio who turned out to be very humorous and gentle. He always takes his self-interest before his own. Making Pipit more comfortable when near him.
"Sweet, don't you want to change your call to me. I'm your husband, you know, when I call him Ria Rio that's it." Fashion sulking master husband began to appear, if this is the case then Pipit who must immediately seduce him.
"Well, get married again." He said unconsciously if he currently expects the man to marry her again.
Hearing that Rio instantly stopped his mouthful then walked over to Pipit's chair.
"So you want to marry me again ? Really ? It's not your wits just so I'm happy." The man's question sounded hot.
The flabbergasted pipit can only be confused and sigh.
"Hmmm.."
"That means you're ready to meet your sweet brother ?"
Hearing the question made Pipit instantly speechless with a wandering mind.
"You still haven't forgiven him ?" Ask again when his wife was silent after the question.
"Until when ? You yourself even know that if he is innocent at all, you are both victims of your uncle's incitement and slander. Not only you who suffer dear, but your brother is also the same, every day he has in mind is you, his only brother. His regret is so great for thinking you're dead.
If he did not believe his uncle's words, maybe now you will live together, but what was the power of that time he was just a small boy in his teens and did not have more courage especially his life in the city of kara. He also had to fight hard to survive, until one day God brought him to meet the figure of a little girl whose nature is so similar to his sister. And you also know who the little girl I mean isn't she ?"
Rio smiled then rubbed his wife's back as the girl started to tremble as she held back sobs.
"Think again, and I hope not too long. I'm afraid one day you'll regret it because you realized it too late. Yes I went to the office first yes, take good care of yourself if you want to go out. Go home and don't be late, okay."
Rio came out of his apartment after saying goodbye to Pipit, while the girl was pensive at the dinner table thinking about Rio's words. Just a soft sigh that he let out after that got up and cleaned up the dining table.
His appetite suddenly disappeared along with his heart that returned to his stomach. Pipit went back into his room and walked towards the balcony. His eyes stared straight ahead where a tall building loomed around him.
Am I outrageous ? Just assume that I suffered all this time. Although I hate him but I also miss Brother Fa very much.
I didn't think he was my brother, from the beginning I thought his name was the same, it all seemed like a coincidence.
Pipit closed his eyes trying to ask what his heart really wanted. As he was thinking hard, Akiia's words a few days ago flashed back to his mind.
"You know Pit there is someone who tells me, Do not be afraid of suffering, for the nature of glory will arise when it culminates in a believer."
"What do I mean ?"
"I mean by suffering we can know at what level our faith in Allah SWT. Will it go down or up. If he is a servant of God who fears, he will always walk up to the next level, no matter what obstacles lie ahead. He would not be afraid if he would fail again and again. He has a God who will always take care of him, then how will he feel afraid if God alone is always with him every second, minute and every breath he always takes out every day.
Unlike people who have a lower level of faith, he will feel afraid and always blame the situation when suffering always haunts him. He forgot to be grateful and in the end he was getting down until in the end he was no longer able to stand on his feet. And I was at that Pit level. I always blame the circumstances that happened in my life, I even had time to not believe in God.
I became a man who loved me, and considered what happened in my life was bad luck. But again, God still loves me, when I am really at the lowest level of faith, God extended His hand to me and met me with great people such as mama, Kyai Lutfi and also you.
Make peace with your heart and happiness will come to you without you taking the trouble to look for it."
Pipit opened his eyes as Dhafa's face suddenly flashed across his head, his brother's sad face as he looked at him hatefully, and the look in his brother's eyes filled with such a great longing for him, his only sister.
Thinking that way makes Pipit arrived so missed his brother. Missing the warm embrace of his brother who used to always calm and make him feel comfortable.
It dawned on the girl to turn into the room and grab her tote bag. With heart and determination the girl finally came out of the apartment after saying goodbye to her husband. One goal he currently wants, Dhafa's office, his beloved brother.
