My Sugar Brothers

39. Million joys?

A month since Geraia worked in the company on behalf of Asa, and a month he had difficulty meeting with his sister and also the girl named Leah. Geraia had a lot of questions for the girl.

Like, why would Lea get close to him? why would he give his company to that girl? what relationship did he have until he and Leah could live together? why would he go without Leah if she was so close to Leah? Why did Lea look at it so gently? And why didn't the girl hold him?

Or why didn't the girls hug her again when they met again?

" Hands are warm." Mumbled the man. Feeling himself overwhelmed, Geraia let out a tired sigh. Leksa was really busy with the opening of his Cafe, as if he had no older brother, Geraia really had no news from the cute guy.

Besides, the man Geraia was thinking was using his brain so hard while staring at an object that was his debate. " Why should Perfume be floral? why not Moca? Yes... this is the cafe that nyajiin coffee.. time smells bungaa.." complaints Leksa make Lea sigh again. this is the 5th time he has explained the same thing and Leksa just makes a question sentence without changing the meaning of the man's question.

" Oath yes Brother... the smell of coffee is everywhere.. do not need to add perfume also already there is the smell of coffee... floral tuh let seger aja gituu.... or want the smell of vanilla? love it as long as it's not the smell of mocha. eneg know the smell.."

Leksa exhaled his annoyed breath, still did not accept but Lea's explanation had a point. The man devoured the small cake that Lea made to become a Sample. Leksa directly filed a contract with the girl to become patissiere* and baker** in her cafe.

(*Female Pastry Chef: Chef who is good at making pastry and small/dry pastries typical of Europe

** Baker, his crude language, baker, that's it.)

" The opening is tomorrow, Brother. fortunately Deket High School Daniel so if you want to pick up also not far."

" Em deliberately Deket campus same school gini.. let many mothers who are Nongki...only time there is a young mama, is not Rob?" Ask Leksa to her best friend, Robin. Robin is a friend of Leksa Junior High, and is still on good terms today. Robin could only smile while shaking his head inexhaustibly. " There's only your mind, Sa.." wonder the man.

The ringing of Lea's mobile phone caught the attention of several people who were arranging chairs and other furniture. Leah picked up the call she didn't see. " Hello?"

" Lea... This is Aunt Anna... Are you busy? Auntie again wanted to try one of the recipes cookies that, but so inget you.." hearing the sweet speech made Lea smile.

" Congratulations Tan.. I'm going to Auntie's house now?" Bargain the girl. " Can! or do you want to get an echo? let him come home for a while.he's never been home since he moved into the apartment.." Anna's grumbling is upset. Leah laughed again.

" Gausaha Tan. can be delivered really."

after her little conversation with Anna ended, Lea stared at Leksa's joke. " Sister, anterin dong..."

" Dapet what am I??" Said the man while raising his eyebrows. Lea laughed loudly while shaking her head. " Dapet tasty cookies from me.." Leksa cheered happily. If it were food, he would go ahead.

About 30 minutes, and Lea had reached Anna's house. When he arrived, Lea was immediately greeted with a warm embrace of Anna which strangely felt soothing, relieving his heart which some time felt heavy to endure the pain.

" how are you? you're taking another bite out of Lea. You must be eating her irregularly."

" He ate his little aunt... So heartbroken.." Adu Leksa approached the two women. Anna bent her face, feeling both annoyed and anxious to Lea.

" Don't do it ah, there's still an echo.."

" Lho Tan, yesterday Lea Abis was shot the same tem-"

" Sister..." Lea was upset. Why does Leksa's mouth lemes so much anyway? inner Lea grumbled.

Since he released Asa completely, Lea quite often visited Anna and Agraham. Because his busyness is not as crowded as before, and Agraham also Anna often contact him, ask for news or stop by even if only for lunch.

The job that Lea took after leaving Asa's company was to become a Barista and Cafe Servers' part-timer again and open a small Cake stretcher. After signing a contract with Leksa, Lea plans to give up her cafe maid job.

This girl really did everything with pleasure. Though actually his heart has not completely healed from the wound yesterday.

But thanks to the support of others, especially Anna and Agraham who treated him very well, also Leksa who never let him feel alone, Lea felt he must be able to rise again.

" You're still tuker the same news as Assistant Asa?"

Lea smiled faintly while nodding. " Still, even Mas Farhan sometimes call and his name eat me this week whatever, sleep what time, and he sometimes tell me the condition of Kak Asa."

Anna gently rubbed Lea's letter. " Don't be arrested, if you're sad, be sad. There will be Aunty, there is Om Agam, Sama Gema as well.just consider us your family as you used to think of Asa as your sister." Lea nodded obediently.

Lea looked closely at the Oven that was carrying the cake. " Sometimes I think, if I were his son Aunt Om Agam, maybe I wouldn't have majored in nursing, wouldn't have met Kak Bara, either, or maybe I won't know Asa and won't even be who I am now.

That's why I'm always grateful that my situation is as difficult now as it is. Because when I get thousands of trials and sorrows, the Universe will pay for them with millions of joys. And having people around me right now, it's not even worth a million happiness." Lea's oddity made Anna laugh even though her hands were busy wiping her wet cheeks.

Leah is really this mature. This girl really deserves millions of happiness from the universe. Inwardly, Anna hoped that Lea would only meet happily for the future.

The brief ringing from Lea's phone made the girl turn her head, The brief ringing was a special ring to her sister, Daniel. " Why Deck?"

" Mom, I think I'm going home... There is group work and the task is still a lot mbak.."

" if nginep can mbak?"

Lea blinked for a moment before she chuckled. " Could be... You are afraid of that.. Just don't macem-nacen ya... kabarin mbak if you become nginep, ok?"

" Ok mbak's. Thanks to you, ma'am!"

The connection closed, When Lea turned to look Anna was smiling after noticing the girl's interaction with the sister, "are you really Deket with your sister?"

" Yes Tan. understand, he only has me, as well as me, hehehehe." Lea scratched her neck awkwardly.

...****************...

Geraia stared at the short glass with golden-yellow water that was slightly rooted in the glass. His sight had started to blur though he could still see clearly if he squinted his eyes. Regardless of his consciousness, he again drank the alcoholic beverage.

Jimmy beside him looked at the man in wonder. Asa is included in the ranks of straight humans whose number of visits to the Bar can still be counted with a finger for a lifetime. Then why is Asa now sitting next to him, with a glare due to the effects of drunkenness and still ask the Bartender to pour Vodca into the man's glass.

Of course Geraia was drunk. The man was not even experienced with alcohol. Despite living in LA, the man just sat quietly in the city library, or collapsed in the apartment.

No wonder if the man was now dazed can not stand up straight. "why did he not go?" geraia asked half-consciously.

Jimmy took a breath. He helped Geraia to stand up a little, "Don't drive. I'm anterine. Where are you going?"

" Apart.. Green.par-"

" Yes-iya.. know me.. to apartment adek Lo' right?"

Jimmy's intention was to drive the man to the front of Lea's apartment unit, but due to an urgent matter being alerted to him in the middle of the road, Jimmy could only drive him to the front of the elevator. " Do you know Lo's unit number? I don't know what floor.. The sa? Asa!" Jimmy patted softly Asa's cheek trying to resuscitate the man a little.

Asa opened her eyes, "don't sleep in the elevator. What floor?"

" 20"

"already yes, you don't go wrong in the unit. I'm back first." Jimmy said before running away from the elevator that had begun to close.

In the elevator, Geraia felt a very dizzy. He held his head that felt hit by a large rock like the previous incident.

" aku mau kak Asa juga bahagia..."

" Sister Asa try first yes perjo-"

Asa's head was in so much pain. This time it felt like a big sharp needle. Somehow his vision began to blur, and he had unknowingly stopped in front of his sister's apartment unit, Leksa.

The man rang the bell in a hurry because the pain in his head was getting worse. When the door opened, the pain suddenly disappeared.

" Asa Ka-kak? A gapapa? I think Asa-ma-ma-I mean Raia's brother is in the wrong unit. has Lek-" Lea's trembling voice that was either nervous or in shock now stopped as Geraia's hand gently rubbed Lea's cheeks.

" K-sister Raia? Gapapa's brother?"

" drunk.." Geraia answered gently. I don't know what, but seeing Lea and hearing the girl's voice, it felt so relieved and soothing.

The man looked at Lea's face carefully. " Why don't you come find me again?" Tanya Geraia did not know herself.

before that he said he did not know Leah. Now he questioned the girl's reason for not seeing him again. Why meet a stranger?

" Because I just know Raia. After all.. Raia's sister is already engaged right? why am I looking for someone's fiancee?" hearing Leah's words made Geraia grimace. Lea's voice was exactly the same as the sound of crying that had been looming over her in the Elevator.

Lea's sad gaze was again felt by Geraia. The man squinted his eyes. " Why..you tell me to try if you want me to be happy?" geraia's question made Lea stunned.

Lea who looked down actually made Geraia more curious and furious. " Is it related to my amnesia?" Ask Geraia again. He did not know that the question seemed to blame Leah for her Amnesia.

" I'm sorry, sister, we don't have any relationship. That's Jagad Geraia Toha, isn't it? Brother only knows me as his sister's friend. Brother can pul-hmmp!!"

Geraia pulled the door of Lea Apartment closed with one hand and the other hand held the Neck of the Lea to keep looking up, maintaining the position of their lips that had fused.

When the two lips separated, the hunting Breath hit each other's faces. " We have no relationship? Let me start that relationship right now." Geraia's cold and undeniable speech gave Lea goosebumps. The girl could not guess what Geraia meant just now.

Until Geraia finally started trying to make her words come true, Lea was really sorry that she was so weak as to be able to reject Asa.
