MY GRUDGE TURNED INTO LOVE OVER TIME

Men of the Past 2

The next day, as usual after school, Tiara walked to the store where he usually picked up merchandise.

The teenage Tiara did not care about the heat of the sun. For Tiara it was okay to endure the heat of the sun, rather than face the rain. Which automatically makes it unable to sell.

His smile expanded, when his trade was up before afternoon. "It looks like today is my lucky day" he murmured. Because he can come home quickly to rest.

"Hey," call someone.

Tiara who was walking back to the store instantly circulated her gaze to look for the source of the voice. And as he turned around he saw a man who was yesterday at his help.

The man immediately got off the motorcycle to approach Tiara. His hand took something from the bag. "Thank you, yesterday helped me." By handing out some money like Tiara gave you yesterday.

Tiara just silently looked at the money, then looked at the man. "But I did help yesterday" he explained.

"But I want to give it back."

"No need, brother," Tiara who still did not want to accept it.

The man kept thinking that Tiara would accept the money. He knew that even though the money was nothing to him, it meant a lot to traders like Tiara.

Until an idea pops into his head. "Do you sell here every day?" The one Tiara answered with a nod of her head.

"Yes, let's just say this money is for me to buy your merchandise. How's it?" his proposal.

Tiara was silent to think, and then nodded her head. "Yes already then," agreed to the man's proposal. And took the money that he had rejected.

"I'm here tomorrow, you just wait. Ok," message. As the man was about to leave, it seemed like he had forgotten something and walked up to Tiara again. "Oh yeah, what's your name?"

"Tiara." replied Tiara.

"Uhm .. Call me Brother Angga." The man who introduced himself.

"Yes," Tiara nodded her head.

And the next day is like Angga's promise he said yesterday. He met Tiara where the girl was selling.

On that day Angga saw Tiara's trade that was still half left. "Is your sales day quiet?" he asked by drinking the bottle that Tiara had just given him.

Tiara who sat beside Angga smiled. "The trade is not to be guessed, brother. Let's just say today's quiet will probably be replaced tomorrow's rame sales." Tiara is trying to think positively.

Angga just nodded his head to hear Tiara's words. Girls his age could have such thoughts.

Maybe Angga never experienced what Tiara experienced. Although he was only an orphan, but he managed to collect the coffers of money easily by the way it works.

"Yes, let's drink big brother. Coincidentally my boarding house is out of stock."

Tiara's eyes squinted, staring towards Angga in disbelief. "Not Brother for pitying me is it, so Big Brother bought everything?"

"Ha ha ha ha," Angga's laughter gushed out at once upon seeing Tiara's cute expression. Especially with his thoughts. "Why do I pity you, you're not a beggar, are you?"

Tiara just flicked her lips to see Angga laughing at her. But a moment later a smile was engraved on his lips, as his wares were exhausted instantly.

After that incident, Tiara and Angga got closer. Angga who often comes to Tiara when finished selling.

Their closeness is nothing more than the two who both consider as brothers. Angga who considers Tiara's sister, and Tiara also who considers Angga's sister.

Until one day when Angga invited Tiara to eat at the stall, Angga suddenly got a job that came could not be predicted it.

Fortunately the food on the plate Angga only a little. He immediately pulled out his laptop from the bag and put it on the table after sliding the plate.

Before that he circulates his eyes to make sure the situation around, lest others know the workers.

"No, Brother there's only a little job." The one who answered him did not take his eyes off.

I don't know why, Angga just answered honestly. There was no suspicion in his heart towards Tiara. Because he's sure Tiara's a good girl.

Tiara then just stayed by Angga's side, watching her brother finish his job.

Tiara was also curious about what kind of work she was doing. Because there are only small writings that quite a lot appear alternately.

A few moments later. "Beres," murmured Angga and closed his laptop.

"What is sister's job?" Finally Tiara ventured to ask.

Angga smiled at Tiara's question. "It's easy work, just helping someone solve the problem through a laptop" he explained. "Do you like to play laptop?"

"Like, but only at school." replied Tiara innocently.

"Why?"

"Because I don't have a laptop, it's still for the purchase." explains Tiara.

Angga thought for a moment. "Do you want a used laptop to have a brother, can still be used."

Tiara shook her head. "No, it'll be troublesome for brother."

"No, I don't wear it anymore. Rather than idle at the boarding house, baby right. You better wear it." The Angga who persuaded Tiara. He knew his sister was not easy to take his gift for granted.

Tiara was silent on him. "Uhm, yes it's been if it doesn't bother you."

"Where possible, sister never troubled her brother." Angga who ruffled Tiara's hair because of anxiety.

Tomorrow Angga has brought his promised laptop. There was actually a little lie that he did. Because actually the laptop is still new, even he bought it as he used it. Just slightly gave the sticker outside of her, as if it was hers.

"Is this really my old laptop? It looks like it's new." Tiara who saw the condition of the laptop was still smooth.

"Yes, right. Brother is no longer wearing it, "answer Angga tried not to be nervous.

A second later, there was a smile on Tiara's lips. "Thank you, Angga," said Tiara sincerely.

From then on Angga taught Tiara little by little. How to be a hacker, maybe one day it will be useful for his sister.

It is not difficult to teach Tiara, because basically Tiara is a smart student in her school.

A few months passed. Tiara was good at dancing her fingers on the keyboard, not infrequently Angga told her to directly work on her work. And as a result, Tiara was already able to master it.

Tomorrow is, tiara graduation day to become a Junior High student. "Sister, tomorrow if you are not busy, you come at Tiara's graduation." he asked by phone, because today he did not meet with Angga. However, Angga has become one of the most important people in his life.

"Alright, alright. Brother tomorrow will come for sister's most beautiful sister." Angga's promise from there. "Yes, now that you're asleep it's night." Angga's Order.

"Yes, until tomorrow, brother."

"Yes." Yeah."

The day that will come, Tiara looks beautiful using a kebaya. His smile also continues to expand because on this historic day he will be accompanied by his mother and brother.

But that sweet smile slowly faded, as the older brother she was waiting for was nowhere to be seen. Even until the graduation ceremony was over.
