My Lovely Brothers

22. Family Events (1)

The family event is the most hateful moment of Reya's life, because he feels everyone will be competing to find his ugliness and discussed together.

The family event seems to have become a ritual that will be held in a few months and all families will gather at the grandmother's house.

The door was knocked as Reya was getting ready inside her room. "In the meantime, Reya is not ready. Lagian Reya has said not to go there, why is still forced anyway!" Reya mumbled from inside the room.

"It's me, Mama and Papa are gone first."

Reya felt her heart stop beating for a while. After a long time Gara never knocked on the door of his room again, finally it was again done by Gara.

Feeling uneasy from waiting for a long time, Reya immediately walked out of the room.

"Is he ready?" tanya Gara watched Reya from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head.

"Well, is there something strange about me?"

"There's nothing really strange, but you look pale because you don't wear lipstick."

"Ah, I don't want to wait a long time. That's why I plan to make up in the car."

Because they said nothing more, they both got out of the house and got into the car.

"If you are not happy to do something, you can refuse and give a clear reason." Gara answered Reya's rant when the girl was in the room earlier.

"Gue had no chance to refuse when it came to family gatherings. Mama's gonna be mad if I'm stubborn and don't want to go."

Because he started the engine of his car, driving slowly because Reya is dressing up now. Do not want until the lipstick even smeared to Reya's cheeks.

"Gue doesn't want to come to this family event either, because it's not my family."

"Why do you keep coming?"

Not because of me, is it? That question Reya asked in her heart.

"Because Mama said she would introduce me as part of this family. I also have no reason to refuse. Maybe just for this time, not for the next chance.”

It felt like Reya wanted to laugh at her already overconfident self. It was fortunate that he did not ask Gara directly just now.

"You should have told me Mama and Papa not to go first. Because if you come with me, your position won't be safe."

"How safe? You're also part of their family."

Reya sighed softly, leaning her body on the car and staring out the window. "Lo will know the answer after getting there, I hope you do not regret choosing to come with me."

****

Car Gara stopped in the yard of a very large house, there are many other cars parked here.

It turns out that Granny Reya's house is much larger than the girl's house which has also entered into a large category.

"Gar, I'm kind of stubborn to get inside."

"Look out, there is also Mama and Papa. You're not going to do anything."

Gara walked in front of Reya without intending to hold Reya's hand, even though the girl was waiting for Gara to do it.

Reya went inside, there were already a lot of other families here.

"Hi, if it's not wrong you must be Gara who is Reya's half-sister, right?" A girl in a white dress approached the two of them. "My name is Diana, I'm a year younger than Reya. If it's not wrong we're the same age, right?"

"How to." Without shaking Diana's hand.

Reya secretly smiled happily, only the first time since the Diana family event looked a bit embarrassed.

"Let's find some good food. If again the food gini event is really delicious, I'm sure you will not regret if you follow me now." Apparently Diana had not given up and was still trying to get close to Gara.

Reya clearly knew that Diana always liked any man as long as he was handsome, it was clear because he entered the criteria of the girl.

"Gue came here with Reya, the two of us haven't met with mom and dad. Oh yeah I'm not hungry either, maybe you can find someone else to eat with."

Then Gara grabbed Reya's hand and held her. Feeling victorious, Reya waved her hand at Diana who was already upset.

"Diana is so beautiful, why don't you want her response?"

"Pretty doang but if her nature is like a cheap girl for what? I don't really like girls looking for attention and approaching guys first."

Reya mangosteen and know the reason Gara now. The guy admitted that Diana was beautiful, just did not like Diana's personality.

"Reya, Auntie thinks you're not coming tonight. Have you met Diana? He just came home from America, you know, it just so happens that this semester break can go home."

Because of observing mothers whose appearance is a bit splashy with a lot of jewelry used on the hands, fingers or neck.

"Come on, Tan. Diana was in front of me and welcomed me to the same place."

Aunty turned to look at Gara. "Frightly turns out, you've been acquainted with Aunt's child? You're family now, so you have to love each other."

Smiling trying to be polite. "You know what, Tan."

"Where do you think about Diana? She's pretty like a princess, isn't she? In addition to beautiful Diana also studied abroad, she escaped the scholarship path. Diana also worked side jobs as a model and cook. Aunt's son is perfect, isn't he? Lots of guys come to the house to propose to Diana, but Auntie's not ready to see her get married."

Because he laughed even though he had to, his ears were a bit hot listening to this middle-aged woman who was too praising her son to strangers like Gara.

"Diana's in college, Tan. So where might Auntie give her permission to get married." Because trying to respond as a form of respect only.

"Tante also thinks that Gara, but what else if you have a beautiful and talented child. The men who came to propose to Diana were all established and handsome-looking men.”

Because he thought he would stop, but it turned out that he was still continuing this nonsense.

"When what is Reya, has anyone come to propose? I don't think there is, because your mom never told you about Auntie. Even though you're older than Diana, no cook comes home anyway?"

Reya rolled her eyes lazily. "Marriage is not at all in Reya's head, Auntie. After college Reya also wants to work first for two or three years. So that kind of thing doesn't matter to Reya at all."

"Yes, you don't have your own income yet. Different from Diana who has a lot of money even though she is in college like now. Look at the expensive bag that Auntie is wearing now, it's a birthday gift from Diana you know."

Reya glanced at the item on display without feeling interested.

"Re, Gar. Turns out you guys have come, let's come here to see Grandma."

Reya heaved a sigh of relief, finally her guardian angel came to save Reya with Gara.

"Reya the same because you went there first, Tan."

Reya hurriedly stepped up as well as Gara who was walking behind her because she could not bear listening to the middle-aged woman who was talking too much.

"It turns out this is the reason you're not comfortable coming to family events."

Reya turned to look at Gara. "That's just the beginning, you'll meet more people soon. I hope you keep a fake smile tonight."
