My Sweet Green's

Meet Ardi

Meira bent her face annoyed. The sweet guy next to her is always clumsy. It has been said not to think about the debt he gave a few months ago, it is still calculated. Rizal remains determined to pay off Tika's operating expenses he borrowed from Meira. Her mother's paddy field just sold last week. That's why he came to Meira to say this.

"My debt has been transferred to your account, May. Thank you very much for your help." he smiled as he rubbed the smooth hand.

Meira clucking. "Who do you think I am, Nu." he pulled his real hand still want to feel the warmth of the swab from the lover. Intentions want to let go of longing because it has not met for a week because of their respective busyness, but Rizal instead discussed problems that are not important to him.

"Debt is still debt, May. And it's gotta be paid."

Meira let out a languid breath. This man was very firm in his principles. He will not take advantage of the situation. His feelings are truly sincere. He leaned his head against his shoulder. He wanted to feel the comfort he missed so much. "I miss knowing."

Rizal smiled as he rubbed his shoulder-length straight hair. "To meet you is like entering the palace of many of his guards." Rizal chuckles.

Meira pinched the arm she was now holding tightly until the owner grimaced in pain. Come to think of it correctly also said by Rizal. Their relationship is no different from a forbidden one. Hearing Rizal's name alone his entire house can become chaotic. Especially in front of Wijaya. So low Rizal in the eyes of the Meira family.

"Sometimes I'm thinking, can I get through the fence of your house so high?" Rizal looked at the overcast sky as if also feeling his sadness.

"Miss..." Meira stared at the sweet face. "I've just found happiness despite many obstacles. But I don't care, as long as it's with you."

Rizal sighed. Her feelings are always confused when she is with Meira. Between wanting to continue to fight or let Meira go with her family's chosen people. It turns out that this heavy forge an unresolved relationship. This is his first love, he smiled amusedly. Why should it be this complicated.

"Would you eat kebabs?" ask Rizal to get rid of his mixed feelings.

"By." nods Meira.

They walked towards the wagon that was at the end of the road. The Turkish kebabs they used to buy every meet. Kebab that gives an unintentional sweet story. So sweet.

"It looks like your tongue is used to eating fringe food." ledek Rizal.

"I just found out now." Meira bribed the meat kebab with greed.

"Meira!"

Someone got out of the car and approached the two of them. "Oh so this is Boy's replacement?"

Rizal was stupefied, his face reddened, he squeezed the kebab in his hand. Meira was very confused by the current situation. He was also very afraid of Rizal's face which looked very angry.

"Are you blind, Mei? He's just a motorcycle taxi driver. What do people say later? Embarrassment."

Bugs!

Rizal's fist drifted right into Ardi's left cheek. He pulls Ardi's collar and tries to beat him up but is stopped by Meira. "Enough!"

"Look, May! The man you love is an arrogant man like this?"

Rizal pulls back Ardi's collar. "Who is arrogant? Me or you!" Rizal pushes Ardi to the end of the car.

Rizal stared at Ardi's face. "Cartic... My brother you left behind, you hurt his feelings and physique to experience depression that never healed!"

Ardi fell silent. His return to his hometown did not meet luck. He's stuck with the past story. Unexpectedly his favorite cousin's sister is in love with the ex-lover's sister who he had hurt first. "What's my fault?" he asked as if he knew nothing.

"Let me kill you right now, Ardi!" Rizal strangled Ardi with all his strength. They fought each other. When Rizal wanted to punch once again Ardi who was almost bonyok, Meira broke them both with sobs.

"Ask your brother alone" said Rizal briefly.

"Why did you become like this, please give me an explanation. What is this really about?" Meira is very confused by this situation, she is confused who to go to, while both are in pain due to a fight. Either who is chosen, the person he loves or his beloved brother.

"Your brother went crazy, it wasn't because of me."

Rizal took a deep breath, he clenched his hand again. This time he doesn't care who Ardi is. Ardi is Meira's brother. "Bast jerk man!" Rizal again punches Ardi mercilessly.

"Enough, stop! I beg you." Meira tried to break up the two. He also shouted for help from people around him. But, baby, there was no one there.

"Awwwww!" Meira slammed until her hand hit a sharp rock.

"Meira!" yell at them at the same time.

"I'm fine" Meira said as she rubbed the red liquid coming out of her left arm.

"How could it be okay, my little brother is hurt. This is all because men don't know themselves! You and your brother are the same, you're always after the rich to fix your economy, right!" Ardi pointed at Rizal once again. "I won't let my sister get caught by your noose."

"Sister! Never mind, get in the car. We go home and tell me everything."

Rizal only fell silent, the blood that poured out at the temples of the eyes was no more painful than tears that did not feel had dripped on the cheeks.

"Anu..." Meira slowly grabs Rizal's hand, but is brushed aside by the owner.

"Go, May. My poor family does not deserve you. Enough of my brother to be a victim." He wiped his tears and left Meira who was still staring at him.

"My hand is hurt, don't you care?" voice trembling. Making Rizal stop his steps for a few seconds.

"Sorry." He continued his journey slowly disappearing from before Meira.

"Why is it like this?" Meira came back crying.

***

"So Tika's sister is..."

"Yes." Yeah." Ardi cuts off Meira's speech.

"Sway her sister, Mei. Enough Big Brother to feel failure." Ardi sighed. "The reason why I didn't marry her, because she insisted on bringing her family, it was good that I accepted but she forced me to accept her family as well. I love him but not his family. I know their minds are just money.

"You're wrong, brother. You can't want to remove any trace of sister Tika's family. She has a mother and sister whom she loves."

One thing Meira does not know, the nature of Ardi is not much different from Boy. He was rude and arrogant too. Ardi kept a meeting about it.

"Forget her, Mei. No matter how strongly you oppose, you cannot win" Ardi said once again to reassure Meira.

Meira could only ponder. Not to reflect on Ardi's words, not at all. It was even Rizal's mind that was also battered. How is that sweet man he loves so much now?
