Happy Reading ☺

🌸🌸🌸

Ayunda stepped down the stairs with a carefree face.

"Morning, Mother. Morning Brother", he said when he saw the mother and Adrian sitting at the dining table.

The mother and Adrian turned to Ayunda.

"Is it still morning?" Adrian asked and glanced at it by raising next to his eyebrows.

Not offended by her brother's words, Ayunda replied with a smile featuring a row of neat teeth. "It's still morning, brother. Really am!" reply to him casually. "It's still 8 o'clock, brother", he said as he again received a sharp glare from the older brother.

"Mother... Adrian's sister is not ready to get married. Tell Ms. Neneng in front of our house, find another girl, just" she said, mocked Ayunda, because she was late to wake up.

"Who wants to get married?" ask Ayunda who almost choked before a piece of bread made it in her swallow.

"Mother should reject any man's proposal!" Adrian emphasized his words still with Ayunda's accent.

The mother only replied with a headband, when she saw her two children staring at each other sharply. "Already! Later the mother will reject the proposal from anyone", reply the mother.

"Mother.". "whimpering, because the mother also defended the sister.

"Is Yunda ready to get married, now?" ask the mother.

"It's not like that, Bun", said Ayunda still with his face. "But please don't match Yunda huh, Bun. Yunda search for himself yes, please Mother", he said then smabil begged the mother.

The mother looked at Ayunda with a smile. "Yes, mom won't match you. But Yunda has to learn from now on, to be a good wife for her husband."

"Ready, Bun!" reply with firmness.

"Don't just be ready doang, deck. Do dong", exclaimed Adrian who still wants to make his sister upset.

Ayunda was really provoked by the emotion of the annoying attitude of the brother. "Mother, please marry sister right away! Let him know what it's like to have a wife who can't cook, wek", ledeknya to the brother with a childlike attitude. Even though he got a sharp look from the older brother.

Mother shook her head again. "Mother is confused, as you remember the first child is 25 years old and the second one a month will be 22 years old. Which two kids are these kids?" The mother looked at Adrian and Ayunda alternately while tapping her index finger on her lips as if she was thinking.

Adrian and Ayunda stared at each other. "He!" they said along with pointing at each other.

The mother shuddered, then stood up from the chair leaving her two children who were still dumbstruck. "I'm going to find my real son" he said as he walked.

"It's all because of brother!" exclaim Ayunda with a grunt annoyed.

"Maybe don't be a girl who likes to wake up late!" exclaim Adrian while moving. Because he's gonna have a meeting with a potential co-worker. After that he will attend his father's hearing at 2 p.m.

"This time, brother! Why did I get the title of slacker, anyway. Hiks.. hiks. " said Ayunda, but Adrian no longer heard it.

"Hiks... Brother Adrian is very evil, his sister is staying just that!" Ayunda grumbled while pretending to cry. Then he continued his breakfast that had not been touched, as if nothing had happened.

This afternoon Ayunda entered a cafe that had been chosen by him. A man sits casually at a table of his orders, looking at the arrival of Ayunda.

Ayunda spread her gaze looking for an empty table. He doesn't know if Ferdo has booked a place for them.

"Sorry, excuse me. Is this true with Ayunda's mother?" ask a waiter, when he saw Ayunda crabbing looking for an empty seat.

"Yes, mas. What's up, huh?" asked Ayunda who was starting to be curious, because the waitress knew him.

"Awaited, at table 8 in the corner" he said, pointing his hand in a friendly manner. The tail of Ayunda's eyes followed the direction of the waiter's hand.

Ayunda stepped up to the table, where Ferdo had already sat at the table on his booking, while looking at Ayunda with a sweet smile.

"Hi, Brother", greet Ayunda while pulling an empty chair, then sit opposite to Ferdo.

"Hi, Yunda. Long time no see", he said still with a smile. His longing seemed to be cured when he looked at Ayunda's cute face.

Ayunda sat wrongly, for Ferdo's gaze did not turn away from him. The neatly arranged spoon on the table, fell just like that despite being far from his reach."Ma-sorry, Brother", he said with a dropped spoon.

Ferdo chuckles when he sees Ayunda misbehaving, but increasingly looks cute.

"What do you want to eat?" ask Ferdo so Ayunda doesn't feel awkward. He offered the food menu, but did not let go of his eyes on Ayunda.

Ayunda grabbed the food menu list without looking at Ferdo. Then he sighed, to regulate his irregular heartbeat.

"I'll order this, brother", point it at a menu.

"OK... drink it?" ask Ferdo.

"Orange Float only", he replied.

"OK", said Ferdo briefly, then gave his order to the waitress.

After the waitress left their side of the table, Ayunda cleared her throat before expressing her intention to meet Ferdo.

"Ehm, Brother Alfian", he said still a little doubtful.

"Yunda. The food here is all good", he said cutting Ayunda's words.

"Ehm, yes... "

"Or don't Yunda come here often, huh?" ask with a smile. "Oh, yes... Speaking of food, how are you? Mommy is the most good when it comes to cooking" he said without giving Ayunda a chance to interrupt.

"Mother is in good shape, brother. But something was worrying him", said Ayunda with a serious face, which made Ferdo frown. "And this is the purpose of Yunda meeting Brother Alfian", he continued.

Ferdo looked at Ayunda seriously, waiting for Ayunda to continue.

"So please release me from the accusation. Dad really didn't do it" Ayunda said, clenching her hands together.

Ferdo was silent for a moment, like he was thinking about something. Then he sighed heavily before replying to Ayunda.

"Yunda. if Yunda is in the position of elder sister. What will Yunda do?" askanya with a serious look at Ayunda. Ayunda who was in the face immediately bowed, while thinking about the answer he would give to Ferdo.

A moment later Ayunda looked up again, and looked at Ferdo. "I'd want the culprit in the law to be as heavy as possible." Ayunda let out a long sigh as she paused her words. "But I'm pretty sure, not the father" exclaimed Ayunda trying to convince Ferdo.

"We have to prove it" Ferdo replied.

"What's? Ki- ta?" ask Ayunda not to believe it.

"Yes, if it wasn't Yunda's father. The making will also definitely decide his innocence", said Ferdo with a smile.

Ayunda nodded her head when she understood Ferdo's words. "But where are we going to find the evidence?" Ayunda was a little hesitant, because there was no bright spot of evidence that Ferdo meant.

"There must be!" he tried to calm Ayunda down. "Come, we'll eat first. Later we think about it", exclaimed Ferdo when their ordered food had just been served at the table.

Why didn't I talk about this from yesterday? At least Alfian's gonna help me.
