My girlfriend, my daughter-in-law (Mantu becomes sister-in-law)

8. I love you

One month Later

"Where are you from?"

Raya appeared when she heard the sound of people opening the door of their house. His hands were folded, his slender body was landed on a black sofa.

"From a friend's place, ma." Answer without looking at Raya.

"Nengokin Ina again?"

Raya understands her son never absent check the condition of his stepson. His head shook his head, already did not know to say let alone to Rangga. For Raya, Rangga's attention to Ina is no longer reasonable.

"Yes." Yeah." Replied Rangga half-lazy.

"Please,R. Since you came home from Japan 6 months ago, you are full time for Ina. Mama told you to come home not to take care of Ina. But take papa Donal's company."

"Ma, Rangga stays in the office. Never neglecting work. Rangga play with Ina also after work."

"Etis not a man playing to where women just come home at 12 p.m. Huh! deserved not! The fruit is not far from the tree. Mom and son are the same!"

Rangga does not like when Raya beratai Ina just like Kania. Instead he was there protecting Ina from the men Kania brought. Although in fact he did have a different taste since childhood. Walking up to the room, the 35-year-old closed the door.

Raya shook her head to see her son's attitude and went into the room.

"Ga, Ina it's no longer your sister. Now he's been someone else since your father died. Mama's just afraid that it's going beyond your boundaries. If you consider him a sister. Treat him like a sister, not more. You also have a sister here, Lani is also your sister. But why can't you get close to Lani."

"Ma, Lani is married. She also never accepted me as her brother."

The POV Rangga

"Ina I love you. From childhood to the present the feeling changed."

It was a word that was always embedded in my heart. Words that have strengthened me until now. Words that can make me continue to rise, when the sense of giving up came.

I know he only thinks of me as a big brother, our 12 years together in his eyes were just a little sister. But for me it makes this feeling even bigger. After a few women who stopped in my life, but still did not shift this feeling. Since my father died a few years ago, I am no longer his brother.

"You're my brother any time"

That answer certainly made me sick. Na, just so you know that I want more than that. Even though you're half my age. Love does not know age. Papa always told us to keep the brotherhood no matter what.

"Papa asks you, Ga. Stay a big sister to Ina no matter what. You know how to treat Mama Kania with Ina from the past. If God picks you up someday, Papa is counting on you as Ina's guardian. Until Ina finds a life companion."

"Vowal ladder,Pa. Rangga will take care of Ina's body until she finds a companion for life."

Because I'm the one who will accompany him until his death to pick him up. I'm the one who's gonna be his companion.

"Ga"

Papa Donal's voice blew my daydream. A man who has been married for 10 years to my mother. She was 5 years under my mom. Maybe that's what's called age-different love. My mama though is 5 heads and almost entering 6 heads but still looks like 40s.

I am 35 years old now, not old. Many may ask why I am not married. My only answer is one, I'm not married if Ina's not married. I have to keep my promise to Papa to keep him until he finds a companion.

"Ga"

"Eh, yes, pa." I'm approaching papa Donal.

It seems like there is something serious he will talk about. Is it about the company? Could be.

"What's up, pa?"

"Later tonight papa has a business meeting with Alex. You go with papa, yeah. All of you want to introduce you to Alex's son."

"Damn?"

"You know him?"

"Know, pa. I met him at a friend's party."

"It's good that way. Papa it's not hard to bring you closer."

I can already guess the direction of papa Donal's conversation. I understand my parents are worried about their unmarried son until now. I appreciate their efforts to bring me closer to some women. Including at the same time Mona.

I met Mona through Dodo, my best friend. Why am I so close to Dodo? because I owe it to the late Bian, his older brother Dodo. Bian saved my life who almost got hit by a train.

My car broke down at the train crossing and there was no doorstop there. Bian who was working as a guard there came to pull me out of the car. Some time we are familiar, Bian always invite to his sister's contract. Eventually, Bian fell ill and died.

"Where?"

"To the beach only. Wanna?"

Ina nodded. Ever since he got out of the hospital and the time-consuming campus routine, Dodo never again invited him both ways. He understood, the work of doctors who take time, let alone have to wrestle with human life. Ina never wants to demand a lot, she is never lonely because her two best friends have a lot of time for her.

"When do we last go to the beach,na?"

"It's like after I finish the final exam."

"Hahahaha, yes, you were able to say hello to me for fear that I would marry young."

Ina is pinning towards Dodo. Really, right now he wants to focus on college, but if Dodo really asks her to marry he won't refuse anymore.

If I get married to Dodo, I won't trouble you anymore.

"Are my eyes closed?"

"Udah, you're coming."

Ina was shocked not the Dodo voice she heard.

"Mama?"

"Yes, kid. It's mama."

Ina smiles winning. Mama Kania has changed a lot. Never sniffed at him again.

They stepped walking. The sound of the waves made his heart cool. Even though he was still wondering what would happen next. Ina still felt the grip of her mother's hand, until the grip turned into the hand of a man.

"Ma"

Ina was sure it was Dodo's hand. The man who is currently living in her heart. Although actually he began to feel another figure slipping in his heart. But Ina believes her feelings for the other person are mere admiration.

Dodo opened the girl's blindfold. It looks in front of a wide beach. The little wave that greeted her arrival, Ina was about to approach the waves her feet were restrained by a small mound.

His eyes were round when he looked under his feet. Love-shaped flower petals that he was peeling at this time.

"Na, please open the mound."

Ina squatted open the mound of dirt under her feet. A small red box was found in the mound.

Does he propose to me?

Dodo sits his body in front of the lover.

"Karina, how long have we been in a relationship?"

Ina seemed to remember "Almost two years"

"How long have you felt about me? honestly, I'm not going to get angry"

"Sir Dodo in my eyes is a good man. Honey is like me, and my family is too. Brother Dodo is also a true man who is able to take care of me wholeheartedly."

"That's all?" Ina nodded. So far it has been limited to Dodo.

"Ina, will you marry me. Yeah, maybe I'm not as rich as Rangga. I'm still a contract doctor. My salary isn't as big as your pocket money. But rest assured I will love you with all my heart.

I asked again, Will you marry me?"

Ina stared at Dodo and turned her eyes to Kania who was standing away from them.

Kania smiled and nodded.

"Do you want my brother to wait until college?"

Dodo nodded.

"Bismillah, Yes, I will"
