Sense of Sense
Sharing Hugs
“But I hope our household life will be fine and there are no painful things like we have ever experienced, Brother. That is enough we both feel, our children will have to live full of gratitude and happiness.”
For the umpteenth time Rafa glanced at Sapphira. The younger sister he always treated like a boy yesterday afternoon turned out to be much more mature than he had assumed so far.
“Sister only realized that now you are different from Safira one year ago. Safira who is not married, Safira who often play cat-cats with Father and brother, Safira who pay all facilities instead of receiving gifts Father and brother for free.”
“That's a compliment?”
“Not.” Rafa moved, standing in front of Sapphira while leaning against the balcony railing. “You've become much more mature than before, that's a compliment.”
Safira is confused to respond to Rafa's remarks. “I don't know what to do if Brother suddenly praises me like gini.”
“Quite say thank you?” rafa said, throwing a teasing smile.
Safira's forehead is wrinkled, it looks amused by Rafa's reaction. “Still, Sister Rafa.”
The pleasant feeling spread throughout the body, filling the space between Rafa and Sapphira. Like a rainy day between dry weeks, or a quiet day after six busy days with work piling up. So that the pair of brothers is often natural, not always together and understand each other. However, there was a time when the two sat together and shared each other.
Rafa glanced at the ring on his left ring finger and then he accidentally saw Safira's wedding ring. The white ring with the jewel glistened in the light of the lamp, making Rafa remember the thing that had disturbed his mind this morning.
“Fi, anyone want sister tanyain with you.”
“What, Brother?” safira asked, somewhat surprised. He leaned his back deeper into the head of the chair and looked at Rafa's face with curiosity, his older brother suddenly became serious.
Rafa regulates the breath, twisting the brain to compose sentences. “This morning my sister accidentally saw the news in online media about ...”
“Mbak Nita?” cut Sapphira, there is a discordant tone heard. However, Safira soon managed to overcome. “No need to worry, it's just gossip.”
And it's a lie if Safira doesn't feel worried or confused about how to respond to it. He himself knew that the rumors were completely untrue. Ashqar and Nita are not dating or trying to reconcile by taking the kids with them for the holidays, Safira knows it's just news deliberately made to attract public attention. However, he could not help but feel anxious.
The fact that Nita was once married and even had children has made the public excited, what if they know that the man who was reported to be referring to her already has a wife and children. Safira could not imagine how the public would react to this. Neither Nita's career nor her children's mental health will be compromised.
“Kakak may not worry, especially you and Ashqar also feel so. But you guys are obviously not doing well.” Rafa pulls Safira's hand, jerking her sister's body to fall in Rafa's arms. “Sister can not say all will be fine especially after all the news milling in the media, but brother will never be alone for this ngadepin, Fi.”
“Sorry, sorry I brought trouble on my happy day. Sorry, Brother.”
In the end, Rafa and Safira spent a few minutes sharing a hug. Spend the night getting late without a lot of words other than the sound of the night and the roar of the vehicle engine that has not yet receded.
