Shining Sunny's

Forging Relationships

Sania was tidying up her desk after her working hours were over. Today he did not get the ration of overtime so he could go home when the sun still felt hot highlighting the earth.

The sound of his phone interrupts and it turns out that Ezra is making a facetime call.

" What's up, why are you doing facetime? Tumben once."

" Suddenly I want to see my sister's face. Are you overtime today?."

" You don't see I've worked so hard since morning that I look this tangled. Fortunately my department still had a heart so I was released from overtime today."

" Haha.. You're prettier that way, brother. Don't tidy up leave your hair like that."

" basic.. If you're calling just to bother me I'm closing now."

" don't. I want to eat sister's cooking today, is it okay?."

" all right. I'll stop by the supermarket before I get home."

" Don't be long, I've been hungry."

After saying goodbye to her partner, Sania headed to the supermarket across from the hospital. Only he was about to enter, for the second time he passed Bima who just finished shopping.

" Senior.."

" Hey, we meet again."

Sania took a look at Bima's relaxed appearance with the plastic bag she was carrying.

" Does senior live around here?."

" yes. Then you?."

" Yes me too."

" I didn't expect to see you here again in such a short time."

" The story is long, next time hopefully we can talk longer. I'm in a hurry so I go in first, senior."

" Well, oh yeah did you change your phone number?."

" Ah, right. When I arrived in Indonesia I changed it and my old phone was also lost so I had no contact with you and the others. Sorry.."

" This is my card, you can call me to that number."

" okay.. I'll go first senior."

Bima sighed wanting him to be able to chat with Sania but it turned out that he had not found the right time.

Sania carries two large plastic bags at the supermarket. When entering Ezra was focused on playing games in the living room so that he did not realize Sania had come home.

The corner of his eye caught movement so he turned his head and it turned out that Sania was tidying up her groceries and putting them in the refrigerator. Continue to prepare the ingredients that will be cooked.

" Is there anything I need to help you with?."

" No need. Today let me cook for you."

Sania came here looking for something. Ezra who became unfocused finally stopped his game.

" What are you looking for?."

" A big cup of white."

" It's on top."

Sania looked up and it turned out to be true. He stood on his tiptoes but his hands could not reach him.

He was still trying but Ezra's hand preceded to take it. Knowing Ezra was behind her Sania was a little nervous because they were so close. Sania turned around but Ezra did not take a step back. He even brought his face closer to Sania with both hands holding on to the kitchen counter so that Sania did not run away from before him.

" Depending on what?."

" Don't pretend you don't remember. What I said was that when we slept together at the hotel, I wasn't delirious at the time and what I said a few days ago."

Blushes. Sania's face flushed and felt hot. He even fiddled with his hands.

" Can you back off it's hot in here."

" No way until you answer me."

" All right, we'll talk after dinner."

Sania gently pushed Ezra's body. Yet Ezra still continued to stare at him for a while.

" okay.. Just so you promised you wouldn't run away again."

" Yes I understand."

Ezra finally obeyed Sania's words he sat back on the sofa to continue his game.

That's very dangerous. Sania said in her heart.

Sania again gathered her consciousness and continued what she was going to do. As promised after eating they finally sat together in the guest room.

Ezra sat down and laid his feet. His face looked calm in contrast to Sania who was sitting restlessly.

" Ezra, I'll explain something to you before answering your love statement. When a doctor takes care of his patients, we have to build an emotional connection with our patients so that you will feel comfortable and also feel dependent on your doctor. How do I explain it, yes.. So the feeling you feel for me is not love but just an emotional bond that we've been building all along."

Ezra was still silent and occasionally smiled as Sania spoke. Sometimes Sania stutters and has trouble finding the right words but Ezra knows he is just trying to deny his feelings.

" Sister, if I told you I liked you since I was a child would you still deny this?."

" What?. It's impossible."

" You're very sensitive to other people's conditions but how can you not judge someone's feelings for you. All you're explaining is that I don't care, because all I want now is to have you."

" But Ezra.me.."

" I know what you're thinking, you think I'm your only family you've got. If our relationship doesn't work out, you're afraid of losing your sister, right? I promise whatever happens we'll stay like this. Please give me a chance to make you happy."

Ezra grabbed Sania's hand and grasped it tightly. His heart was broken as Ezra stared with pleading eyes. Sania is still confused by her feelings for Ezra but considering all the things she has done for him and also Ezra is the nicest man Sania has ever known only that he always sees her as little sister.

Ezra may have unwittingly entered her heart even though she denied it so Sania did not want to lose another chance for the umpteenth time of losing a person of value to her.

Sania thought for a long time but Ezra was still faithfully waiting for his answer.

" Alright, let's try to have more of a relationship than this."

" Seriously brother? You're not kidding, are you?. Say it again."

Ezra could hardly believe his hearing.

" That's it.. I'm going to go to the room first."

Sania wakes up but Ezra holds her hand and pulls her back to her seat and kisses her gently, which becomes more intense. Ezra just let go of her lips as Sania looked overwhelmed and patted Ezra on the shoulder.

" It's our first kiss brother shouldn't forget."

Sania was still a little shocked because of the sudden attack from Ezra that she never expected.

He even staggered towards his room due to the uncertain feeling he felt. After closing the door of his room he half ran towards the bed then covered his face with a blanket and shouted with excitement and embarrassment.

" How can.. Me and Ezra.aakh.why he was so good when I was older than him he must be laughing at me right now."
