SISTER SISTER

Episode 11 "Destroyed"

16

These few days Rio continuously avoided Kena. At school, and at home, it's like playing cat-kick with his sister who is not considered that sister.

Not much different from her troublesome brother, Kena also tried to avoid Rio. He will deliberately do busyness in a different place with his brother. Choose a different time to wake up so as not to cross paths. Or take a different path from the path he used to go through at school.

And it's sunday.

I was ready to get out of the house that morning. He went downstairs by avoiding the hours his brother used to show up. But the estimate missed. As he walked down the stairs, he saw his brother in the living room watching television. At first Kena will act ordinary and ignore it. He rushed through the room without glancing at Rio.

“Where are you?” Rio unexpectedly asked.

Hearing that question, I gasped. Her steps stopped, she turned to Rio, but her brother did not divert from the television show. To make him doubt, did I hear wrong?

Rio continued to stare at the event that he did not even like. What he noticed was the shadow of Kena reflected on the television screen. Dandanan Kena is more beautiful and fashionable than usual. At first he did not want to care about it since he accidentally heard Kena received a call from someone a few days ago. It was a man, but it didn't sound like the voice of the man who shot it the other day. But he also did not feel alien to that voice.

This morning she realized she woke up earlier than usual. So he deliberately went down to the living room, turned on the television, picked a random show and waited for Kena to come down!

From Kena's shadow on the screen, Rio knew the girl was being suspicious of him. Looking at him with an expression of displeasure and alertness. I don't want to see or talk to him.

“Not a sister's business,” answered Kena indifferently.

“What were my words the last time was unclear?” rio's reply reminded the incident the other day, “From now on, wherever you want to go, have to tell me.”

Kena approached Rio, grabbed the remote in her brother's hand and turned off the television. They look at each other.

“Why should I report to you?” pissed Kena. He satcates, “You can do anything, even dating, but I'm not?”

“Kena!” Rio swallowed his saliva, “You are still underage. Your makeup is also nothing of this,” Rio tried to wipe the make up on Kena's face. Actually, there is nothing wrong with his sister's chest, only Rio felt unwilling that the makeup was intended for foreign men who he did not know.

“So nothing anyway,” Kena denied Rio's hand. “Your girlfriend's dress is sexier than this, why don't you protest to her?”

“I'm not dating Valeia, and even if we've been betrothed it's a family decision!” lang Rio's. “I've known him longer than you! Valeia has nothing to do with this.”

“True, it's a family decision. I'm not your family, from the beginning you never wanted to accept me as a sister! You only care about your stupid trauma!” kecam Kena's. “Do not want to act as a family now. Take care of your own girlfriend, Valeia or whoever it is.” Averted his eyes, glaring. “Maybe I'd better accept Kak Gero as my girlfriend. He's not worse than you.”

“Nothing to do with you! You take care of tunanga—,”

“I'M YOUR BROTHER!” rio shouted loudly. He immediately fell silent. “Although I never accepted you as a sister. Even though I am not a good or reliable brother. But I'm still your brother.” Rio felt bitter to say it. That sentence meant that he had to give up his other feelings towards Kena. But I couldn't deny it any more. He could not stand this complicated situation, his feelings, his selfishness, his trauma. Fuck all that!

“Despite that, I....,” Rio paused for a moment, looking directly into Kena's eyes, “I fell in love with you,” he said.

Glowered at the expression of that feeling. How could he say such a taboo thing. Although Rio did not consider her as a sister but legally they are brothers!

Why did you fall in love with me?

Two people outside the house held their breaths hearing the unexpected statement. Though a moment ago the two people inside were still fighting which made them reluctant to enter. Why is it getting runnier.

Gero patted the shoulder of the girl beside him, Valeia, trying to calm him down. Even Gero himself was shocked especially him. They had accidentally passed each other at the front gate and decided to enter together. When they want to squeeze the doorbell of the intercom, they hear a noise from the side of the house. The quarrel between Kena and Rio had occurred. Both chose to peek from the veranda. And the situation is getting out of control.

Valeia stood up, without saying anything else she rushed away from there. Gero glanced inside the house once more. Between chasing Valeia or breaking up the dispute of his soul mate with his future wife. After breathing out he decided to enter. He deliberately shifted the glass door next to the house that limited the living room with a strong side veranda. The loud noise shocked the two people who were silent inside.

“Sorry to disturb you guys, I came to pick up your beloved wife,” said Gero with the sweetest smile.

Rio immediately took off his grip from Kena's arm. Gero took the opportunity to pull Kena to his side. Before he left, he whispered to his soul.

“It looks like you need ice cubes.” Gero said, “You better have a good explanation for me, or I will seriously nonjok lo.”

Gero took Kena away. This time it was Rio who was left alone.
