My husband's a High School Boy

Episode 17's

"When did you call my mother 'mother'?"

"Since then, La." Arina came from behind asking Ala's question.

"Well, that's a pretty dress! Miss.Sora where's Reni?" Mom's gaze turned to the store clerk who turned out to be named Reni.

"He's on his way here, ma'am. It might be here soon." Answer Reni.

"May I try it first?"

"By, Madam. Please Miss Ala, I help you to wear the dress."

Ala's feet followed Reni into the dressing room.

A few minutes later, the curtains opened showing Ala already wearing a dress. Wedding dress that is in line with the color of her skin, making Ala look beautiful and bright.

"Beauty yes, Fel." Arina. But Felix was silent, his eyes fixed on Ala.

"Fal." Arina patted Felix on the shoulder.

"Ah, yes ma'am. Pretty."

Arina smelled a smile. "Patience, soon also will be married. You can look at your wife's face later."

Felix's ears were flushed into misdeeds. He imagined how his life would be after marriage.

"Good night, Mrs Arina. Sorry I came a little late."

"Well, miss.Sora! Just relax, this is us also just coming. So Ala has tried the dress, beautiful." Arina Sahut.

"Ah, that's because the one wearing is also no less beautiful." Miss.Sora turned to look at Felix. "Oh, is this her groom-to-be?"

"Yes. Can she also fit all the bridal suits now?"

"Can, wait for Miss Ala's turn to finish. By the way, he looks so young."

"Hoho, well that's how it is."

Next day.

"Well! Brother wants to talk to you for a minute." Asoka's voice came from behind as Ala and Ria were walking in the office lobby.

"Sister?"

"Can you come with sister for a minute? Somebody needs brother obrolin with you."

"You go first, Ri. My next schedule is still an hour away, right?"

From the office, you can see a cafe on the corner of the highway. They decided to walk because it was a short distance away. From the outside look cafe that looks so crowded visitors, considering the time still shows lunch hours.

Asoka tells Ala to sit down first, while Asoka orders a drink for herself and Ala.

A few minutes later, Asoka's hands carried the same two drinks.

"One for you." Asoka handed over one ice americano.

Ala happily accepted it, the heat and sweat that poured out made Ala so eager to drink the ice.

"Your favorite is still the same, right? ice americano?"

Ala sipped the ice. "Yes, but why did you order the same drink? I don't usually like to drink ice."

"Sekedar wanted to know how it tasted, it turned out to be delicious too. Hot-hot gini drinking ice."

"Actually, what does an obrolin brother want?"

"Ehem." Ashoka cleared his throat to relieve nervousness. "Emm, I want to apologize for what happened at the wedding reception that night."

"I'm sorry about that."

"So, I heard from my father that you are getting married soon. Honestly, I'm a little worried about you getting married all of a sudden. I kept prying for information and asking Dad."

Ala's ears are still carefully hearing Asoka's story. His mouth was still on hold to reply for Asoka to tell him in advance what he wanted to say.

"Which brother is not surprised, hearing his sister will marry a man who is 11 years below him. That sounds illogical, La." Asoka Imbuh.

"Then? What should I do, brother? Go and run away like you used to?"

Ala's mouth could not bear to reply Asoka's words. Her eyes glazed over when she recalled her brother who was so selfish to leave her that she had to end up carrying the family's great responsibilities alone.

The sentence so pierced the niches of Asoka. His heart was so wounded staring at his sister who now looks fragile, not seen a serious look and a strong face that is always in his appearance.

"So don't know, you've been hurt for your brother's behavior in the past. I'm sorry, but that's not what you want to talk about."

"Lantas, what do you want to talk about? Want me to cancel the wedding?"

"No! This time I'll respect your decision, La. I just want to convey that!"

I want it to feel Asoka immediately grabbed the tiny body of her little sister. However, it felt to him now the distance that lay between the two after his departure from home.

"When you face problems in your household later, remember that there is me behind you! Go back and see if I am going to comfort you and keep you company." Its effects.

Ala's tear drops after hearing Asoka's statement. His heart seemed to melt with the words of his brother, he always thought Asoka had left him. Now he is touched not because of sadness or disappointment, but because of happy crying.
