My Bow to the Destiny of Love

The pain is still felt

Chayra completely shut herself in the room. When he reached the house, he only found a security guard who guarded his house. Just greet him and go into the house. The quiet atmosphere of the house makes his feelings even more worried.

Bian waited in the guest room he used to wear if he came to his brother's house. He had intended to go straight home. But seeing her brother's fragile condition made her undo her intention to go straight home.

Bian POV's...

I came out of the room to see Ayra. But the door to his room is still locked. I feel so lonely in this house. I want to take Adzra let me have a friend. But. I'm afraid to bother Ayra.

Although I'm about to finish High School, it doesn't make me understand women's feelings. All I know is, my sister was only hurt because her ex-boyfriend offended her husband. I still don't understand the issue of feeling love. Because until now I have never been in a relationship. Although many of the female friends in my class who claim to admire me, it does not make me curious about them. I just don't think it's appropriate to be close to a woman. At the moment, however, I am still burdening Mom.

I put my ear on Ayra's bedroom door. There was no sound I heard. Hopefully Ayra will sleep and forget about the incident this afternoon. Hmm.. I am also quite hurt to hear the words of Mr. Ghibran who said that Mr. Ardian is an irresponsible person. You know what he is with Ardian's sister's life. If he had known that Ardian had sold out his papal possessions to pay his mammary debts, he would be very embarrassed to say that Ardian Kak was an irresponsible person.

I turned around to go back into the room. It will soon enter Maghrib time. I better wait for prayer time in the room. Why don't I feel calm like this. I just feel uneasy like this because of the incident earlier. What about Ayra. Brother Ardian also why not come home until this hour. Yesterday's feeling Ayra said Ardian's sister will be home in the afternoon. But soon it will be evening and Ardian has no sign of going home. I abandoned my intention to go into the room. I have to make sure that Ayra's sister is okay.

I went back to the front of Ayra's room. I slowly knocked on her bedroom door. "Sister." I said slowly. Hopefully Ayra will respond.

Just a few seconds waiting, the door opened from the inside revealing the person behind the door with puffy eyes. "What's up, Dek, you want to go home?" Kak Ayra's voice sounded sad.

"Mm. t. no, sister. I'm just worried about Brother. Brother hasn't come out since he came in. Is she still crying?"

"No, Deck. Brother is fine now. These are the remains." Ayra rubbed her eyes.

"Would you like to go home, Dek?" The question came out.

"I'll be home when Brother Ardian comes home. I want to prepare myself for prayer first, brother. Brother don't cry anymore huh.."

"Yes, Deck.."

I passed back to the room. Hmm. women's feelings are really sensitive. Ayra likes to joke, but what Ghibran said this afternoon really offended her. Think of this as a lesson. I can't be as sensitive as Brother Ghibran. I have to learn to be a man of understanding in couples. Yes, although such a shadow is still very far away, but at least I have to prepare myself.

PoV AUTHOR....

Until Isha's time, Ardian had no sign of coming home. Chayra and Bian sit together in the living room watching Adzra, who is babbling, no matter what he says.

"Sir, I don't think Ardian's sister is coming home today."

"He's still on the road, Dek. My brother called her earlier."

"I'm going out to buy some food, brother. The stomach was sounding from earlier. Brother there's no food supply at all."

"Silver nitip also dong, Dek. You use your money first, Brother change. Brother is lazy up there."

Actually Bian wanted to refuse, but considering his brother's unstable inner condition made him undo his intentions. "What do you want Ayra to eat?"

"Buy me food that looks good."

Bian grunting. "The food must be good, brother. Brother say his name so I don't get dizzy later."

"Pasta then. Buy Brother two servings. Love it to the security guard when you get in."

"Yokay..." Bian gave his thumb. "It turns out Brother diligently shares, the balance of the nutrients smoothly continues."

Chayra just smiled a little without chiming in her sister's words.

_____________

Bian was very surprised when he came back from buying food. He found his brother crying in Ardian's arms. It seemed like Ardian had just arrived and Chayra immediately spilled out the tight feeling she had felt since last afternoon.

Bian placed the plastic bag he was carrying on the table. It made Ardian look up at her. "You're back, Dek?"

"Yes, Brother. You want to eat too?"

"Later we eat together. I'm gonna calm Chay down first."

Ardian just nodded in response. He again rubbed the back of his wife who was still sobbing in his arms.

"I'm going to rest, Mom."

"But you haven't had dinner yet, dear."

"I'm not hungry. I'll eat if I'm hungry."

"I'll drive you to the room then?"

Chayra nodded while getting up. Feeling satisfied crying in the arms of her husband makes her feelings more plump. Ardian's chest always felt comfortable as he leaned there.

"Bi, you're talking tonight, sister, you want to talk."

Bian nodded obediently. "Adzra wants to be left here, Bang?"

"Yes, Adzra sleeps with you tonight."

"I'm not a problem. But what if he wants to take a look later?"

"Everything is. You just open the buttons of your shirt and show your chest."

Bian glared as he pursed his lips. He shuddered in horror at Ardian's words. "I'm a man, brother. You're talking like that, Bang."

Ardian laughed with satisfaction. Bian is most anti invited to talk about perverted-smelling things. He will usually change the subject immediately or go to avoid it.

"What a joke, Bi. I want to talk seriously with you. But then first.."

Bian nodded in understanding. He sat his body on the sofa to wait for Ardian to return.

"Sister didn't you take a nap earlier, Bi?" Bian jumped in shock because he did not expect Ardian would immediately come down again.

"I don't think so, Bang. We left the house to pray Zuhur. We stopped by the Dahlia Cafe because Ayra didn't have lunch at home."

"Tell me what happened so your brother suddenly like this. I'm sure there's something that she's crying like this."

Bian took a deep breath. "Everything was fine when we got out of the house. Ayra's sister can't wait to get home as she plans to prepare a special dinner with her brother tonight. But it all started when we got out of Dahlia's Cafe.

Bian finally recounted all the events very nicely. Hardly anything was missed until her brother shut himself up.

Ardian rubbed his face roughly after Bian finished telling the story. His lips several times revealed a bitter smile.

Pov Ardian...

I can't believe hearing Bian's story. Ghibran.. Ghibran.and Ghibran. Why does he always consider me contemptible. I knew I would never be on the same level as him. I will always be under him. But, I can't accept if she makes my wife cry like this.

Heh, I was just imagining that. Up home, I'll be joking with my wife and son. Three days of not seeing them made me miss me so much. But I was surprised I wasn't playing. When I said my regards, Chay immediately hugged me. Not to mention her sobs made me even more confused. I can't force her to tell me everything when her condition is fragile like this. Fortunately, there was Bian.

This boy loves his brother very much. Maybe because of the good upbringing of Mother since they were children, so they love each other until now. I salute his alertness if it concerns his brother.

"Bang, man,"

I looked at him when he called me. "Yes, what's up, Dek?"

"I want to report this incident to Grandpa."

I was surprised to hear Bian say.
