Oh My Saviors

Chapter 41: A Promise

Khanza and Clarisa traced the quiet, arid streets, fir trees lined up along the way, until they ended up in an old, gray-painted minimalist house with a chimney above it.

Clarisa helped Khanza push the iron fence installed there, then entered.

"This is your house?" Clarisa circulates around, here many houses lined with the same shape and paint, if you just come to this place alone will likely enter the wrong house.

"Hem, I chose this place because the environment is warm, the people here are also very good Brother." Khanza said as he opened the door, which contained a small round bouquet of flowers with a little red ribbon and two small bells there, and there was also an iron door knocker.

"Let's go in, brother, I'll make you some ginger tea!" Khanza poured into the kitchen and brewed tea for Clarisa. He lit the fireplace so the air would be warm.

"You happy here?" Clarisa asked as she sipped the ginger tea Khanza gave her.

"Yes I'm happy, this place makes me calm. My son will also grow well in this place." Khanza chattered cheerfully while gently rubbing his stomach.

"Za, don't you want to be honest with her about your pregnancy, maybe she'll change her mind and vote with you." Khanza was silent, and at once he lowered his head to squeeze his fingers.

"Emh, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll cook chicken soup for dinner!" Khanza passed he deliberately avoided the topic, not wanting to discuss it for now.

Khanza stood with kitchen utensils, Clarisa came and helped him, "Sister, do you not want to get married yet?"

"No, I don't even have a boyfriend yet."

"Huh, time anyway? Brother is beautiful, a doctor."

"Choosing a partner is not as easy as choosing a car, when you like it you immediately buy it. After all, I'm not a woman who is easily attracted to men, I prefer to be alone and lazy to take care of complicated romance." Clarisa said while stirring the soup in the pot.

"Well, I just found out my brother's side is like this." Khanza giggled amusedly.

"From now on you'll always know what I'm like."

"Sister," Khanza looked at Clarisa with teary eyes.

"Hey, don't cry, you know I hate tears, don't you, if you get your snot on my shirt."

"Haha, that big brother was, when we were kids, now where I cry my snot got my sister's shirt." Khanza did not cry and laughed because he remembered his past with Clarisa.

"Let's eat, I'm hungry, since I got my stomach didn't get anything." Clarisa brought the soup to the table after Khanza with a bowl full of white rice.

The ringing of Clarisa's cell phone diverts her attention, not least Khanza he seems to look curious, "hello Mah." Clarisa said as she glanced at the sister's face. Khanza put an index finger on her lips, gesturing Clarisa not to tell her she was there.

[Sad you've eaten?] Sarah asked attentively.

"Just want Mah, I just finished cooking." Answer Clarisa.

[Ko cook it yourself? Why not just eat at a restaurant?]

[Oh that, yes have a greeting for your friend yes and also convey your gratitude to him for accepting you in his house.]

"Yes Mah later Risa said, already yes Mah, I want to eat first, baye!" Clarisa turned off the phone after she got Mama's permission. He then put his phone back on the table and switched to the food he had made with Khanza.

"Sister, please take good care of Mamah and Papah as well. I hope one day Mom will forgive Papah." Khanza looked down sadly.

"Sure, we'll keep it together."

"A-I don't think it's possible Brother, I'll settle in this place for good," Clarisa frowned.

"You're not coming back?" Khanza only shook his head in response.

"Sister, please keep my whereabouts here a secret, lest others know what else Nelson's family is living here!" Khanza looked at her with a serious look, making Clarisa unwillingly agree to it.

"All right, I promise!"

Khanza and Clarisa had dinner together, after decades of cold war, finally the ice melted as well, only Sarah a person who still has not received Khanza back.

During the night Khanza was lying on the bed sideways, he picked up his quiet phone, because he changed the prepaid card on his phone, he intentionally lost all traces of it, so as not to be tracked by the Nelson family.

Khanza scrolled the screen of his phone, staring at a photo of himself and Nic in the middle of hand, if time could be turned to a time where there was only him and Nic, without Cherry, in the presence, everything will be different

'Nic how are you? Are you happy without me? Are you all right? You must be okay, 'cause there's him next to you.' Khanza smiled weakly.

"Well, I'm starting again." Khanza closed his eyes with his right arm, always this is how he felt at night, when his routine had stopped.

"Khanza can you sleep with you?" Suddenly the sound of knocking on the door accompanied by Clarisa's voice sounded from outside.

"Of course, you're not in the key." Clarisa came in with a pillow and a blanket in her arms.

"Why Brother, is the room uncomfortable?" Khanza sat quietly, pulling his body to lean on the head of the bed.

"No, you just can't sleep in a foreign place, so you need a chat." Clarisa's Subject.

"Oh so, yes it's already here, brother, I'm still not sleepy, my baby also does not want to be diem from earlier, drum-kendang mulu." Khanza grimaced with the movement in his stomach that felt pain touching the skin.

"Maybe Dede's baby miss aunty yeah, so it can't be brake." Clarisa touched Khanza's stomach and spoke in a tone like she was talking to a child. Khanza smiled happily, looking at his older brother who had been looking at him from afar, now right next to him speaking in a soft tone to him, this moment was never once in the shadow of Khanza, he said, he had let go of all wishful thinking to be able to talk normally with Big Brother as well as his Mamah.

The night was late, Khanza was already seen sleeping, so Clarisa also fell asleep.

'Good night my sister may have a good dream, I promise you from now on no one will dare hurt you, as long as I am alive I will not let tears rest in your eyes. It was a Brother's Promise!'
