“Gosh!”
Reva's heart nearly dislodged as she turned around and someone was behind her. It was Edho who had noticed Reva who was engrossed in talking to Raka. It seemed like there was a non-bloody ache in Edho's chest today. Everything is so full of surprises.
“Lo preoccupation, sampe gag realize there is me right?”
Edho tried to be ordinary even though it was difficult. He smiled as he gave her a glass of warm tea that he had brought earlier.
“Lo kok gag voice anyway if there from earlier.” Reva felt awkward about Edho's current presence.
Edho just smiled, he sat on a wooden bench in the park and patted the place next to him as a sign asking Reva to sit down.
Reva sat beside Edho, looking at the tea glass in his hand. While Edho began sipping warm tea with a fragrance that refreshed his nasal cavity.
“Gue gag ever thought if my feelings were the same you should end like this.” Edho said with a big smile. He turned to Reva who immediately looked at him because of the sentence that Edho said. “Gue also gag tau must be seneng or sad when you know if you are lana. Life is full of surprises yes re..” Edho bowed with a thin smile that did not escape from his lips. His breathing sounded heavy as if representing his chest which now felt tight.
“Thank you dho, you've always been a good friend. And I'm grateful after knowing that you are my cousin.” Reva said with great earnestness.
“Gosh re, you make my heart more hurt..” complained Edho while wiping his chest. His eyes glazed with heavy breathing.
“Dho, I gag no mean anything. But I'm really grinning because of my brother. In the future we can also keep being a good temen like all this time. At the very least, I can nemenin lo walk without having to pay right?” Reva chuckled at the end of his sentence. Edho smiled.
He recalled the incident this afternoon, when again he could not do anything for Reva.
“Re, about lea earlier..” Edho hangs his sentence. I don't know how he should deliver it.
“Gag pa-pa dho, lo gag need to give any explanation. Gradually, the people around me will also know regardless of how and from whom they know. These are the consequences I must accept for my choice.”
Reva realizes there is nothing wrong with her past. Because people who really love it will still accept it even though they may be disappointed but at least he no longer has to hide something that is considered disgrace by others.
“Yes, I should be very grateful to have a sister like you. Lo strong, self-sufficient and what it is.” Edho rubbed Reva's hair gently.
Only a faint smile could Reva give to this older cousin of hers.
And Edho, for a while he needed time, time to let go of his feelings that not only clapped one hand but ended because of a destiny.

This morning the breakfast felt so awkward. Alea seemed to be enjoying the bread while Reva was still with her fried rice with Indra. He glanced at Alea who looked very indifferent. He did not care about the gaze of Edho and Nida that he did not seem to realize more precisely he did not want to realize.
“Lea, today papih there is a meeting with colleagues from England, you can represent?” Indra asked in between enjoying her breakfast.
“Iya pih, later I take brother edho yes..” say lightly. Edho agreed. “Lana, you want to come to the papih office?” bargain Alea suddenly.
Reva was just speechless, he was still surprised by Alea's question.
“Woy! Lana's your name, right? You have to be clean. In this family gag there papih boy name reva, the presence of alea the same alana.” Alea continued with a faint smile on her lips.
“Sorry just not used.” Reva tried to wake herself up from her shock.
Things are different now Reva feels. Alea's manner of speaking was like there was never any problem at all with her.
“On yesterday's incident, I'm sorry. Wherever you ade me and gag should I permaluin ade myself.” Alea looked at Reva intently making her feel clumsy.
“Iya gag pa-pa..” Reva tries to smile even awkwardly.
“Udah lah lo relax aja, if you want to come to the office come, all of you learn.”
That awkward feeling was not felt at all by Alea. Maybe because of their very different living environment, Alea who was used to free things included in terms of talking and Reva who still often felt bad to convey something.
“True dear, if you want to learn about papih company, lea would want to teach you kok.” Connect Nida with sumeringah. She was so grateful that her two daughters finally got along.
“Oh okay that way. Want to get in the driver's anther, son? “
“Gag to mih reva..”
“Udah together I am the same brother Edho, anyway we are in the same direction, is it not kak?” Alea nudged the arm of Edho who had just bowed down to enjoy his breakfast. But the focus still remains on this warm family conversation.
“Yes, we are together.” Sahut Edho who also tried to cover his baldness.

Vehicles packed the streets of the capital this morning. They are speeding each other to take as many opportunities as possible to avoid congestion. With the exception of Edho, he drove his vehicle casually while enjoying the joking raditya dika he used to rotate when with Reva.
“Back go where is Lana going? We are shopping together yuk.” invite Alea with sparkling eyes.
“Em finished writing my plan to meet riana, have long gag met him.” Sahut Reva who is remembering his best friend.
“Oh okay, but next time we go together yes. we invite mamih also.”
“Okey, we go next time.”
Edho who listened to the conversation of these brothers felt unable to hold his smile. Seeing them get along well and much different from last night's events made her feel a little calm.
“O yes, one more. I'd rather call you lana than reva. If I call reva I always feel we are rivals but if I call lana, yes I feel lo ade me. Lo gag trouble right?”
“Iya I gag trouble kok.” Reva tries to convince herself that she is indeed Alana even though there is not a single thing she can remember about her family.
In a few moments, in fact the raditya joke can make them both laugh. Alea told me a lot about her experiences at school and studying abroad. He also told of the depravity of his cousin's brother who made them laugh with crisp.
Reva started to enjoy this atmosphere. It felt like he was starting to blend in with this new-feeling family.

The sound of laughter was clearly heard from one of Raka's office meeting rooms. Sometimes there are cheers when the Finance Division delivers very good achievements for some of the projects they run. The most important point in this meeting is that they can complete good cooperation with several large companies including Wijaya group subsidiaries under Edho.
Wira patted Raka on the shoulder with pride as the son was already able to bring his company to an increasingly high point of achievement.
“What papah says, you are capable of raka, very capable even.” Again that sentence was thrown from the mouth of the hero.
“Thanks for the reward, this is also thanks to good teamwork in our company.” Sahut Raka who was carried away by the euphoria of this room.
“Wah we have to celebrate this for all lines that have worked hard and give a very big contribution.” Fery took the sound in this fun atmosphere.
“Yes, you help me think about what things can improve the sense of belonging of all employees to our company.”
“Sure, find an idea to nyenengin that person my expertise.” Tukas Fery patted his chest with a jumawa.
Not long after, Rudy looked whispering something in the ears of Wira. The expression of the spirit changed at that very instant.
“Papah out daft, there are important guests.” He said with passion.
Raka simply brandished her thumb as a sign of approval.
The meeting continues with the discussion of the next project plan.
