Paper Dove

SEASON 2: I Am Your Brother

10 Years later . . . 

I knocked on the car window and a man behind the wheel sleeping chickens opened his eyes and looked wryly at me. 

I smiled as sweetly as I could. As he lowered his windshield, I quickly gave an excuse for my delay before he took out a word.

" I'm sorry Brother.. I'm so sorry. Can't stay" I said, clutching her hand in front of her face. 

" Dew, even if you lie, I will forgive you again this time. Hurry in, 1 hour I'm here waiting for you", Nandes grumbled in annoyance. 

I quickly ran to the next door and got into the car while continuing to squeak like a horse. It's my way of not getting angry with Nandes. 

" Stop looking at me and reflect on your mistake" Nandes scolded me who immediately took a calm polite position. 

I am 26 years old working in one of the private hospitals in Jakarta as a doctor. I have returned to the lap of my beloved family, in the end I know why I was sent to my school first.

My family was broke, my father was in debt at the time. Therefore my stepmother 'dumped me' not because she hated me but because it kept me away from the problems that were caused by our bankruptcy. After my father's success came back, even though it wasn't the way it used to be, I was able to go to school well and be pretty good with my stepmother.

Nandes is 29 years old. Working as a Graphic Designer, he founded his own company. Supported by his rich father and I only found out after returning to Jakarta.

Nandes refused to work in his father's company and set up his own company as he wished. In the end his brother was the highest caste holder in their family.

Nandes and his brother got along very well, there was no power struggle like I often see in movies. I am envious of their fear. I used to visit Nandes' house so I knew his family well enough. 

" You're off now, right? ", nandes wore his sunglasses so as not to glare with the shining sun blocking his view. 

" Hmmm...I'm so tired, my patients last night a lot of. My college work also piled up", I complained. 

" With breakfast you rest at my place, I can't take you home. If I go back again I can be late for the meeting", Nandes gave the advice I received with a nod of agreement.

We ate chicken porridge at both of our subscription places. After that Nandes drove me to his apartment nearby. When I got to the parking lot Nandes came down with me. 

" Said in a hurry", I was astonished. 

"There's a document I need to get", Nandes pressed the number 10 on the elevator button. I yawned many times. When he reached his home, Nandes hurriedly opened the door and checked the documents in the red map lying on the table. 

I threw my bag on the couch. Nandes house is very clean, neat and fragrant. Not like how it used to look in High School. I've been here a lot, and I've been sleeping in this house a lot. 

There's nothing I'm afraid of, I've known him for a long time. And the one in my head is just one I'm his sister. And it's true that he always took care of me.

Nandes tidied up his documents quickly, then seeing me lying on the sofa as good as he could he immediately acted with his talk "Dew, Dew, before going to bed it is better to take a shower and sleep on the bed, not on the sofa".

From behind the sofa I held my two thumbs up signifying I understood. 

" Ah, I better take a shower" I rushed into the guest room and picked up a new towel. I took my toiletries in the bag. Then I started my bath quickly.

I was wearing Nandes' freshly finished laundry shirt with Radiohead's writing on the front. That smile is our friendship now. After that I fell asleep in the guest room without thinking about anything else. 

***

When I wake up at 4 p.m. I stretched myself out and walked out of the room and saw Nandes lying on the sofa in his shirt. I approached the sofa and gently poked his left cheek. 

Nandes opened his eyes and I was staring at him without blinking. "he said he shouldn't sleep on the couch. Why are you so good here" I quipped. 

Nandes smiled and got up and shook his body. " So the madam wants to take her home or come here" Nandes asked. 

" Go home dong. What if mom is looking for me? And if they know I'm sleeping here maybe they'll marry us" I said. 

" Then you stay the night. I won't take you home" said Nandes selow, taking a reclining position. 

" Sister. Let's take you. How could you marry your own sister", I nagged while going into the bathroom to pick up my toiletries. There was no answer from Nandes until I thought he was asleep. 

I went up to Nandes and showed him his cheeks once more. "take me or I report brother to aunt Zian if brother starts smoking again", I threatened him.

" Oh, come on. You sneaky spy. Okay I'm interrupting", Nandes got off the couch lazily.

If very stressed Nandes will start smoking. Although only 2 sticks but still it is not healthy. So I always scolded her and she complied with me. And I'm supported by Aunt Zian, the mother of Nandes, who always said smoking was not good

In the end Nnades put on his hoodie and draped my backpack over his shoulder. " Have? is anyone missing?", he asked me.

" Nothing, Yuk", I walked in front of Nandes like a princess.

Nandes is 29 years old.
