My Lovely Brothers

18. Papa's Question

Waking up in the morning with a head that hurts. He found the state of his room that was already bright because of the sunlight that managed to enter from the sidelines of the ventilation.

Look at the clock that shows one o'clock in the afternoon. Shit, he's already passed two courses today. Why does no one wake up.

Wash your face and go down because his stomach feels very hungry. He finds Reya sitting there in neat clothes, as if Reya has just returned from college. My mom and dad are here too. Everyone was staring at him now.

"Gar, here you are." Call papa.

Because he already knew that he would get a scolding because of last night.

"Papa never liked your drunken style. About Mama and Papa not at home, you use that opportunity for weird? Luckily Reya picked you up, what if you ended up in a bad position? Being drunk allows you to do things beyond reason. Papa doesn't want you involved in a bad case.”

Because he lowered his head, he himself was also confused why last night immediately decided to come to the club. Just because his mind was a little chaotic, as a result of most thinking about Reya.

"How to just want to have fun because most of the tasks, Pa. Because it takes an impingement so come there. No other intention than that.”

"Next time don't do it, Gar. You can do anything else, getting drunk doesn't solve your problems. You can only forget a few hours, then remember again. You will only feel headaches and dizziness when you wake up like this" Mama also gave advice.

Reya just kept quiet and focused on the food. He also did not want to interfere with what happened to Gara. Still grateful last night mama and papa believe that he was in that position because of the influence of Gara who was drunk.

Imagine if they both suspected something was going on between Gara and Reya. Surely Reya will be interviewed to the end.

"Yes you have eaten first, Mama has tried to wake you several times but can not. Mama also told Reya to let her know your friend, if you can't come in because you're sick. You've conveyed Mama's trust, haven't you?"

"You know, Ma. I met Jessi, a friend in Gara's department. He'll definitely tell the lecturer a message from me." Reya finished with her meal. "Reya go to the room and go to bed."

Gara stared at Reya's departure, wondering what happened last night because Gara didn't remember it at all.

****

Reya was lying on the bed because her body felt very tired. Perhaps due to going out in the middle of the night and lack of sleep, especially today he got first class at eight in the morning.

When the door of his room was knocked from outside, Reya already knew who was coming. "Let's not lock the door."

Gara went inside, pulled up a chair and faced Reya who was sitting on the bed.

"I'm not weird all night, am I?"

"Lo don't remember anything about what happened last night?"

Because she shook her head, she thought after eating could make her remember what happened last night. But it didn't work out at all. I only remember what happened before I ended up drunk.

"Nothing happened, I just picked you up there and brought you home. Keep fit I again help you sleep, mommy equally papa go home and see the state of lo kayak that. I'm not doing it all because I care about you, but just a thank you for you ever being good when I was sick."

As she nodded her head in understanding, she also did not expect anything more from Reya. "Thank you for bothering to pick me up last night. That's all I want to ask you, I'm afraid to do things inappropriate because I'm not aware."

After that Gara came out of the room, Reya looked at the door of her room which was closed again with an awkward feeling.

But even better because Reya can continue her delayed sleep.

As Gara exits Reya's room, he discovers the whereabouts of his papa. "Gara, Papa wants to talk to you. Just the two of you, because there's something important we need to talk about."

"May, Papa would like to talk in Gara's room?"

Papa shakes. "We go to the rooftop, Papa doesn't want anyone else to hear us talk."

The two walked up the stairs and headed for the rooftop. There are chairs because Mama Reya likes to relax when tired of work.

"Papa want to ask you, is there a relationship are you with Reya? Papa realizes there's something different between the two of you. You're close but not like brother and sister."

"There's nothing to do with it, Pa. Papa knows for himself that Reya's been having a boyfriend, where maybe she has another relationship with me."

Because she replied casually, there was no such thing between her and Reya.

"Yes Papa changed the question so you understand better. What do you feel for Reya? The feeling is not as a sister to her brother, is it?"

Because she was silent for a moment, what did she have to answer? His father would clearly know that he was lying, because his father was very familiar with the character of Gara.

”Honestly, Papa was young and knows how you feel now.”

"I like Reya, Pa. Likes to exceed sister to her brother, even before Papa knew her mother. Reya was one of the seniors on campus who managed to make me have a crush since the first day of college. Then I didn't expect to see Reya as my stepbrother's candidate."

His father did not look surprised at all, which means he already knew what Gara felt. His father asked questions to make sure that he did not misjudge.

"But such a feeling can already be eliminated because. Reya is no longer just a senior you like and will be able to have. Reya your brother now, there is no other relationship except that between the two of you."

Stare straight ahead with a heart that hurts. She knew that her papa would obviously be against her and Mama Reya would do the same.

"But I'm the same Reya has absolutely no blood ties, Pa. We were both just strangers who were now forced to become brothers. I could have loved Reya and vice versa. We can still get married, Pa."

"No, Papa never agreed with what you said. Mama Reya won't agree either, so please stop before your feelings for Reya get deeper. Lagian Papa saw all this time only you fell in love alone, while Reya did not feel it."

"Where does Papa know that Reya doesn't have the same taste for me?" ask Gara.

"Your eyes always look sparkling every time you look at Reya, it is very clear that you really like him. Unfortunately Papa never found such a thing in Reya's eyes. He never sees you as the guy he likes, for Reya you're just a half-brother."

Because chuckles. "Papa sok knows, Reya feels the same is just too prestige to show. Just wait until the time comes, Reya will be honest with her feelings."

His father was not at all piqued and still casually responded to what Gara said.

"If Reya likes you, there must be something going on last night. When you two were in your room, but unfortunately nothing happened. Reya doesn't like you, she knows you can never be together."

Those words succeeded in making Gara shut up.
