SISTER SISTER

Episode 4 "Your Reason"

“Do I overdo it?”

Some time this sentence disturbed Kena's mind. He didn't know what kind of demon he had possessed a week ago. At that time without thinking long he kissed the brother and even enjoyed it to the dangerous limit if only there was no call from the intercom outside.

The incident made him think again about his brother, “Maybe I should apologize?”

It's better, Kena took a short breath and then moved to Rio's room. This will be his first time entering his brother's room, even if he is allowed to enter.

TOK TOK!

There's no answer. Should he come in? Or wait until Rio comes out? The second option is definitely not his type. Since Rio once entered his room without permission so it doesn't matter if he enters without permission as well, this is called break even. So Kena opened the unlocked lucky door and entered.

Rio's lying on the bed. Looks like he's sleeping. You came here to apologize, so it's okay if he wakes up that guy? But seeing her this close made Kena think of a kiss the other day, her eyes looking at Rio's lips. Unknowingly his fingers moved to touch those hot lips. The sensation he had felt was imagined.

Heat.

Eeng, she knew Rio's lips were hot during the kiss, but now they're not doing it. Then why are Rio's lips hot, his cheeks, his forehead, his hands? No, his entire body was hot except for his cold palms as if frozen in ice. Waitaminute! Don't you think Rio has a fever?!

Kena rushed to the P3K box, then returned with a temperature thermometer that was immediately attached to the mouth of Rio. 39 degrees Celsius. Yup, Rio really has a high fever.

“Troubtful sister..”.

Gero observed the activities of Kena who was compressing Rio's forehead. Today Rio did not go to school due to illness, so he deliberately stopped by to give the assignment of the homeroom teacher to acquaintance with Kena. Mode dikitlah. But seeing how much his attention Kena to Rio made him envious. How could he not want to admit his cute and sweet sister as a sister? Rio's trauma is overrated.

“Kak Gero,”

“You guys have been a long time, right?” Kena stopped her activities, “So brother knows why my sister always ngigau like this?”

Next to Kena faintly heard the voice of the older brother's delirium. “I killed him. It's my fault..” Keep saying it over and over again.

Gero of course knows, but he did not have the heart to tell the dark story of his sohib even though the one who asked was his brother who was not considered a sister. But for the sake of Rio as well, he had to tell Kena. Ahhhh, Rio's stupid! He could have made this big brother worried. I will definitely marry you!

“Haahh, it's because Rio never lost a sister first.” Starting Gero, occasionally sipping his drink. “Little time Rio ever wanted to have a sister, but aunt miscarried while bringing a hot sick Rio to the hospital. Then Rio turned himself on because his sister was never born and lost.”

“I've also heard from mama if you used to miscarry, but I don't know the effect is as severe as this for Rio,” explained Kena.

“Yeah, that's because Rio really wants to have a sister.”

Gero has been friends with Rio for a long time, from birth. He knew clearly how much he wanted a brother who could not be owned in the end. How happy Rio was when telling his sister-to-be first, how proud he was. And how depressed she was when she found out her mom had a miscarriage. Not introducing Kena as his sister all this time is also probably because Rio is not ready to accept it.

“But he's nothing good to me,” protest Kena.

Gero grinned, “Maybe he does not want to be too affectionate with you because he is afraid of losing you, he does not want to lose another sister like first. That's in my opinion anyway.”

Being able to digest the absurd sentence that Gero said. Perhaps the reason his stepbrother hated him so much was that simple, after all many said love and hate were side by side. Not hating Rio, but the impact on the brother from the beginning can not be said to be good. Kena certainly remembered how hard Rio rejected her as a little sister first. As bad as what prejudice he placed on Rio, as bad as the rejection he received. They never try to understand each other, but instead stay away from each other for their own comfort.

Kena looked at Rio's face then sighed softly,

“Troubtful sister.”
