My Lovely Brothers

23. Family Events (2)

Reya and Gara get into the crowded grandmother house by the other family, then they both meet an elegant middle-aged woman.

Grandma looked much younger than she was almost seventy years old. Staring at the two of them in turn, there was no friendly gaze from there.

”Ma, this is the name of the child of Mas Bagas.”

Getting close to shake hands to look polite. “Greetings, Nek.”

"Come to you too? I thought you'd never come here." Grandma looked at Reya fixedly.

"Ma, don't be like Reya. Later Reya even more difficult if I bring him here."

"Mama didn't expect him to come either. This time is there anything you can tell Grandma and make her proud?"

Reya squeezed the side dress, always this kind of question she got when it came. Therefore, Reya is also reluctant, because she never has an answer to all the questions asked by her grandmother.

"Reya's another semester exam, Grandma. The value hasn't come out yet, so Reya doesn't know what the outcome will be satisfying what's not."

"Whatever your worth will definitely lose to Diana. Grandma wonder why you can be so stupid and useless!”

Deg.

Out of shock at hearing that, while Reya was ordinary as if she had gotten used to such rude remarks.

"Reya will always try to make Grandma proud."

Grandma smiled cynically. "When did you say you wanted to try? From Elementary School until college you're almost over, you keep losing to Diana. You will never win from him. You're just the son of the unlucky bearer in this family Reya. When you were born the family company suddenly fell and your papa died because of you too. Can you still promise to make me happy?"

Reya's body immediately shook, the discussion about her papa is the most sensitive topic and should not be grandmother always bring it up every chance to make Reya speechless.

"Papa died in an accident, not because of Reya." The girl spoke by lowering her head. No more daring to stare because he knew that his grandmother was angry right now.

"It all happened because of you, your father was sick because of you and died also when he came home to take you. Until when do you want to keep dodging and trying to defend yourself?” Grandma's voice was heard echoing loudly even though the situation here was crowded.

Reya felt claustrophobic, her mother did not defend at all. Did her mother also think that Reya was the cause of her father's death? Reya's body became increasingly trembling and her hands were cold.

"Pardon me in advance if I interfere in your family affairs. But Grandma was too late to say that to Reya. Whose name was set, the accident was only the reason for his departure. Reya's not at all wrong here and stop blaming him."

"You're just a new person and you don't know anything, it's not polite to talk to an older person."

He was not afraid, because what he said was not wrong.

"Reya loves her father, maybe for everyone who knows him is indeed Reya who loves him the most. So how could a girl who loved her father so much want to lose that figure. Grandma's speech didn't sound natural at all and stopped blaming Reya for mistakes she never made."

Gets Reya's still-down hand, taking the girl away. No matter where the two of them were going, the most important thing was that Reya did not need to be here to listen to those words that would only hurt her.

"If you are not comfortable with what grandma says, you should fight firmly so as not to be bullied."

Having taken a sitting position next to Reya, the two of them were on the beach and sitting on the rocks.

Reya receives Gara's gift and strokes the part of her open arm. The sea breeze felt very cold and Reya was cold.

Because the sensitive immediately opened his coat and put it on Reya's body.

"Gue wants to be evil as you but can't see you like gini. Where is Reya who is stubborn and likes to argue, why suddenly lost and shriek just for facing the same old grandmother?"

Reya chuckles. "It's not polite to say that to my grandmother."

"What he considers you to be a grandchild, not just Diana's granddaughter and always be proud of?"

Hmm, it's true what Gara said. Since childhood, she and Diana have been treated differently. Diana often gets gifts from grandmothers while Reya never.

The point is Reya envies Diana who is very beautiful and has a lot of talent.

"Gue doesn't know if she ever thought I was a grandchild, but she'll always be my grandmother. Although he is evil and likes to make heartache. But I'm sure one day Grandma will be proud of me. It takes time and process, I can."

Gara stared at the vast expanse of the sea. The view of the sea at night is Gara's favorite because it managed to make him calm.

"That kayak will never be satisfied, he will always ask you to be more powerful every day without caring you get hurt. Do what you want and don't beat anyone else."

"But I'm glad that Grandma's proud of me. I've never been praised for him."

"Why if when you managed to achieve something but he did not look proud at all, or even seriously underestimated you?"

Gara's successful question made Reya silent, because she had never thought of it before.

"Don't expect too much from humans because it will be broken. I don't want you to hurt the same expectations you created yourself."

Reya plays with the soda bottle in her hand, she hates to accept the fact that it hurts so much.

Why should Gara wake himself up so soon.

"If you yourself how, close to grandma?"

Because shaking. "Gue hasn't had a grandmother since the age of five. My grandmother's all dead, so I don't know what it's like compared to my other cousins."

"Sorry, I don't know about that."

"No apologies, I'm not sad either. I'm not close to Grandma because I rarely see."

Reya mangosteen knows a little more about Gara tonight.

"There's still a lot because you pulled me from there. Usually my nights will be worse, just to be quiet to see my other family having fun. Mama also never could fight grandma, so I really feel cornered."

Because he put his arm around Reya's shoulder. "Next time I'll help you so you don't have to come there again. I don't want to see you hurt and quiet because you're not good at defending yourself."

Reya let out a heavy sigh, why has Gara always been kind to her?
