Support author yes, cool readers 🤗

🌸🌸🌸

"Hey, sweet lady", call someone.

Reina as if memorized by that voice, she drew Ayunda's hand, forcing her to walk faster.

"Why are you walking in such a hurry, it's still afternoon" Ayunda said as she walked slightly dragged along.

Reina ignored Ayunda's words, she continued to step on her feet.

"Hey, sweet lady", call a man who is still chortling with his low voice.

Ayunda turned to look at the man who did not stop calling someone. "Sister Asep", he murmured.

Reina pulls Ayunda, so Asep can't catch up with them. Upon arriving at the office yard, Reina invites Ayunda into the car.

Ayunda gave a rough snort while already in the car. "Reina, why are you in such a hurry? are you avoiding Asep's sister?" ask Ayunda suspiciously.

Reina was silent for a moment, then tried to distract Ayunda by talking to the driver. Reina joked, making the driver not stop laughing. Ayunda felt like a crooked goat, because Reina had ignored him.

"Sir, may I come down at the front stop", pinta Ayunda with a pouting face.

Reina was shocked when Ayunda suddenly asked to be dropped off at the stop. "Don't sir, he's just kidding", refuted Reina who got a sharp look from Ayunda. "I'm sorry, I just accidentally ignored you, actually, I was avoiding the Asep" he said with a little growling.

"What do you have a problem with him?" ask Ayunda.

Reina also recounted the incident when she first met Asep, even Asep's attitude and all the words that made her shudder in horror.

Ayunda chuckled when she heard the story of Reina and Asep. "Are you guys being a fool?" ask Ayunda.

"Amit-amit by now, would you be happy if your best friend was with him?" reina asked with a clear face.

"Hmm. I thought about it, yes", said Ayunda.

"Why do you think, Ay!" exclaimed Reina with a slight frown. "Are you happy that your best friend is suffering?" reina asked while looking at Ayunda.

Ayunda smiled knotfully, "who said you will suffer, Asep's sister is a very considerate person to women, even almost all women in his attention, ha. ha... " ledek Ayunda who increasingly made Reina scowl.

"So actually, how do you want your best friend?" ask Reina.

"I want-" said Ayunda who hung her words, then looked at Reina seriously. "I want you to poke his nose and pull his ears, so he'll be deterred!" exclaim Ayunda with excitement.

Reina frowned confused by Ayunda's words.

Instantaneous silence...

Ayunda and Reina looked at each other.

Ha. ha. they suddenly laughed together for a long time, making the driver get heart training.

Adrian parked his vehicle on the edge of an alley. Then he walked down a narrow alley. His steps came to a halt in front of a simple green painted house. His heart was pounding even more as he was about to continue his steps.

Adrian repeatedly turned his body, because there was still doubt in his heart.

Chequek...

Someone opened the green door, then greeted Adrian, "who's looking, sir?" ask him to the man in the suit who is behind him.

Adrian turned back slowly, wanting to see the face of the woman who was asking him. When Adrian was already facing each other with the middle-aged woman, the woman frowned. "A-Adrian", he said in stammering.

The taste of haru enveloped Adrian, because the mother who had not met for a long time can still recognize him. His tears fell freely, making the mother also shed tears. Without saying anything, Adrian immediately ran up to the mother, then hugged her tightly. "Mother.." call her crying.

"I'm sorry Adrian, Bun", he said with regret.

The mother gently stroked Adrian's back, "You're not wrong, son. It's God's destiny."

"Mother.." call Ayunda when she sees the mother hugging a man. "What did Mother do?" ask Ayunda who has misunderstood.

The mother took off her embrace, "Ay, let you see", pinta the mother while pulling Ayunda's hand. Ayunda and Adrian face each other.

"Mr...!" exciting Ayunda. He was shocked when he saw the person before him.

"Don't call him father Nak, he's your brother" the mother explained.

"I mean Mommy, is this Adrian's sister?" ask Ayunda not to believe it.

"Yes, Ay", he said briefly.

Adrian stepped his foot closer to Ayunda, "excuse your brother, Yunda", he said, holding his sister's shoulder.

"Server really Brother Adrian", said girang.

Ayunda smiled happily, finally a call that he had not heard for a long time, today he heard again from a person he loved very much. Ayunda hugged her sister. "Yunda misses Brother", she cried as she shed tears.

The mother looked at the day of their meeting, "The kangennya continued later aja yes, come on. we go inside first", pinta the mother.

"Yes, Bun", they said together. Then they stepped inside the house.

"Mother, why is Yunda getting bigger and worse?" ledek the elder brother as he sat on the sofa.

Ayunda also scowled to hear the ledge of the brother. "Mother.." he whined to complain to the mother.

"Adrian", rebuked the mother while shaking her head.

"But Bun. I don't know what's different from my sister, maybe because her cheeks are not chubby anymore" Adrian continued. "Are you not eating well, why are you so thin, my sister?" adrian asked gently.

"Will you be happy if your sister looks fat?" sahut Ayunda while glancing.

"Ha. ha. it turns out that my sister is an adult, she has noticed her appearance to attract attention." said the brother while blinking his eyes.

"Mother, is this really my sister?" ask Ayunda in annoyance.

"Of course, the fight continues later, yes, Mother wants to hear the story of your brother, how can he be like now!"

Adrian took a deep breath, and he began to recount the moment he ran away from home. She along with Alfian became homeless on the streets for one week.

"Wait a minute, who's Alfian?" ask the mother curious. He remembered that there were no children named Alfian when they lived in the village.

"Alfian's friend Adrian and Yunda, Bun", Adrian said. "We accidentally met, when Alfian was caught stealing food in his stall, Mr Ratih" he continued.

"Stole?" ask the mother.

"Yes, he became a vagabond after the incident that befell his two parents, a truck deliberately hit the car to his two parents who were parked on the side of the road" Adrian explained.

"What a shock they have, have they been arrested?" ask the mother.

Adrian shook his head, "yet, Bun", he said.
