Title: My Brother's girlfriend (Part 1)

_________________________

I used to think love was beautiful. A dream full of laughter. Without knowing sadness. But now I feel how love is able to make a beautiful dream scratched a very painful wound.

Not that I didn't know that love had been both. But my heart cannot escape that I love her. My heart fell in the charm of a beautiful and indifferent male figure. If I could choose, I wanted to vanish in a moment, when our two pairs of eyes clashed. There was a subtle sigh creeping in my heart. But I realized, I can't have more feelings than just friends. Because in reality, that handsome and cute guy was my own sister's lover. I don't want to be labeled as a sister's snatch girl.

My heart ached when Juno, the man came to the house and found Azka. They always laugh together, even making out in the living room or on the terrace of the house. With nanar, I looked at him while stroking my chest to strengthen my heart. Without feeling, my eyes are hot, until tears seep, through the corners of my eyes are round big.

'Suppose I had met him first, maybe now I was joking with him. But the truth is not.' I'm in my heart.

I went back into the room and locked it. I wish I could lock my heart to that man, too.

—

I was finishing my writing when Azka knocked on the door.

'Yeah, just go in. Not locked.' Excited from inside the room.

Seconds later Azka's head was nongol in the doorway.

'At least busy, ma'am?'

Actually I want to finish my writing right now. And sent her to a magazine this afternoon before she left for college.

'No. Why?'

Azka walked in with a step and a cheerful smile. His ass was thrown on the bed.

'Ma'am, I'm with Juno tonight for dinner. Ma'am come along. If I was alone I would not be allowed to be with my mom.' Azka saw the doubt on my face. 'Calm Mbak, Mbak will not be a goat congek really. Juno will bring a friend. Guys again.' Azka showed her innocent face, making me unable to refuse her request. Reluctantly, I nodded and smiled.

Seeing the expression on my face that agreed, Azka immediately cheered cheerfully and ran out of the room while yelling at mama. 'Ma! Ms. Zhila wanted to come to dinner.' Her voice vanished in the living room. I heard the laughter of papa and mama who welcomed their beloved daughter to happy levels.

But in the corner of my room, there was a deep wound. A sad face was staring at the nanar on a branch of white lilies, which perched beautifully in a pot by the window. A shadow of doubt seeped into his heart about dinner tonight. He had to look for antibiotics first, to survive the painful illness of love.

—

Azka kept on fussing with her appearance. Every second she kept asking her mom, whether it was her hair, her makeup, her dress, or her shoes. But it was already very perfect. Especially for a girl his age. The black hair of a boat was left unraveled, with silver pearl ornaments on the bangs to the side. Knee-length pink dress with short sleeves combined with similar high heels shoes. Making that sixteen-year-old girl look an aura of her beauty.

I sit quietly in the chair. Sometimes I look nervous. Not because of the old invitation. But because of that guy. What should I do for this selfless heart, loving the lover of my own sister.

Tonight compared to Azka's beauty to me, it's so much different. Azka looks beautiful with a pink background that shows her brilliance. While I was impressed elegant and relaxed with a knee-length white dress combined with my favorite cream sweater. My hair was just simple curled using white copstic with a white lily stalk. For shoes, I combined them with my dress.

After ten minutes of waiting, from the courtyard came the roar of Juno's car. It turns out that it's true, Juno isn't alone. He brought his friend who looked cute. Tonight Juno looks handsome and mature in a long white shirt, which she rolls up to her wrist. Juno's friend Yoga, also looks cute in a blue striped shirt.

Juno says goodbye to mom and dad. Azka and I said goodbye to my mom and dad.

'Be careful, dear.' Excitement mom on Azka. Who was in the passenger seat. 'Zhila, take care of your sister.' I smiled and got into the car and sat down next to Azka. Juno sat behind the steering wheel, with Yoga sitting next to her.

—

Juno reserved a seat for four people. Azka sat down on Juno's right. And to the left of Juno is Yoga. I sat across from Juno's desk. Really at that moment, I felt uncomfortable. Moreover, every time he saw Juno's gaze meaningfully pointed at Azka. Or that little guy's attention to my sister.

Everyone ordered a beef steak, except me. I asked for a sea loabster. The food I ordered was my favorite food. But I don't know why I couldn't spend it that night. Maybe because of my uncomfortable feelings.

I don't talk much. I'm more passive than the others. Yoga often asked me and I answered short words. I quietly glanced towards Juno and Azka. How happy they are. A bit of guilt poured into my heart.

How could I break that happy laugh? How can I see Azka's overcast face if I snatch her lover?

'Zhil, I'm horrified from elo's sister, he said elo lecture in journalism department huh? Terrific dong. I used to enter the world of journalism. But the same nyokap not allowed. He said it doesn't make it successful.' Kelakar Yoga and I responded with a smile without grabs the story with a variety of unimportant questions. 'By the way elo diijin yes, same ortu elo?' Tanya Yoga who saw me was silent.

'Actually Papa same Mama does not agree, mbak Zhila take journalism.' Serobot Azka surprised me. 'Papa-Mama, he wants Zhila to take broadcasting. But Ms. Zhila immediately failed the broadcast entrance test time. So deh mba Zhila entered journalism with forced permission from Papa-Mama.' Azka continued guiltlessly humiliating me in the presence of Yoga and Juno.

I immediately got up and finished Azka's last sentence.

'No. 'Tuh. Ms. Zhila likes that. Crackle-jaw. That's why my mom doesn't love him.' Seloroh Azka who has passed.

I want to smother the mouth of Azka's bucket with the shoes I put on. Enough he embarrassed me with the first statement, not the second. He really made me lose face. I'm good to get out of that place right now before I put a slap in his mouth.

'I want to go to the toilet.' Sahutku calm. I immediately darted away from that place, even leaving them in that restaurant. I don't care about those who might be worried looking for me. But what I need now is calm and a long way from Juno and Azka.

I traced the road that still looks crowded even though the night is getting late. I felt my legs ache. I looked around and my eyes stopped at the edge of the fountain. I spread my feet out to the edge of the fountain, and sat there. I pushed my feet out so they wouldn't stiffen, after I took off my shoes.

I breathed in the damp smell of wet grass mixed with the night breeze that shivered the skin. I closed my eyes for a moment to control my feelings. Although I have felt pain, but this pain is not as painful as the days before.

I was shocked to hear my phone ringing in my cream sweater pocket. The name 'Juno' is on the screen. I lift. There was pain in saying that name in my heart. Cell phone ringing stops. I opened my phone and saw fifteen missed calls, including Azka, Yoga, Juno and Papa.

Sitting for a long time in such a cold place, long ago made me dizzy. I got up from my seat and intended to leave before someone called my name.

'Zilah!' the owner of the voice was already in front of me. His eyes look worried. His appearance is a little shaky. 'Where have you been? Are you all right? Your mom and dad are looking for you. Azka and Yoga. They're all worried about you.' Said with a cheerful tone.

'I'm doing fine. Why are you here?' my tone crept and made Juno furrow her eyebrows.

'Of course looking for you and returning you to your family, FOOL!' Juno followed me when he heard my words.

'I'm not a kid who has to tell you if I want to go. And I'm not as stupid as you say.' I intended to leave before Juno's hand held my arm firmly. 'Let go of my hand.' My yelling.

'Just be quiet, if you don't want to be mistaken.' Juno whispered in my ear while staring around followed by my gaze. 'Now you come with me.' Juno saw doubt in my eyes, 'Quiet. I'm not taking you home.' Further.

I just follow Juno's orders. Juno's hand clasped my hand tightly and dragged me to a restaurant. Juno told me to sit in a corner seat, he himself sat next to me. He called the waiter and ordered a lot of food and drinks. A few minutes later, two waiters returned and delivered food and drinks of about ten kinds. After the last order was delivered, Juno thanked him.

I gaped at the food in front of me, unconsciously shouting, 'God! Are you going to eat all this, Juno?!' I looked at Juno with a look of disbelief.

'of course. Whynot? But you also have to eat if you don't want all this food until I finish it all.' He said with a sweet smile.

In an instant I forgot the pain lingering in my chest. In an instant I forgot who Juno really was. In an instant I forgot Azka's feelings, my sister. In an instant I forgot my anxious and worried father and mother, because I never came home. In a moment I forgot everything.

I feel so happy tonight. A pleasant feeling was present after a long time away from me. The laughter that I thought was never going to appear again at the corner of my lips, is now beautifully scratched.

I picked up the clam meat with black pepper sauce that stirred my tongue, let alone supplemented with lobster with mayonnaise sauce.

'Emm..yummi…!' shirihku. I ate that dish with gourmand. Unknowingly, a pair of eyes were watching me.

'It turns out you're eating too, huh?' Juno asked as she scooped the crab into her mouth.

'You know, you. I eat a lot of it. Even all the food on this table I can eat myself, but considering you, so I'll split two for you.' I said with my mouth full of food. Juno laughed at my behavior.

That night me and Juno had a good time. We spent a lot of food. Even until we had stomach pains.

'My stomach hurts.' Complain Juno. His hand held his stomach while walking bent over.

'I am also.' My timpal. 'We'd better find a toilet, before all this food waste comes out.' Usulku.

'Come. Oh yeah, there's a hotel nearby. Who knows if we're allowed to go to the toilet.'

'Then go there. I can't stand it anymore.'

Finally Juno and I went to a nearby hotel. Once there, we were not allowed to borrow a toilet. If we want to go to the toilet, we have to reserve a room, and we can go to the toilet in that room. That was what Juno said after asking the receptionist. While Juno asked, I sat waiting in the hotel lobby.

'Ah relieved.' Juno exclaimed so out of the bathroom in one of the hotel rooms while stroking her stomach.

Seeing Juno coming out of the bathroom, I who was sitting restless waiting, immediately ran to the bathroom.

'Swallow it. We have plenty of time.' Juno cried from the outside.

Ten minutes later I came out of the bathroom. It turns out that after going back, make our energy reduced. Seeing the soft mattress, I immediately walked to him and laid myself on the soft mattress.
