Hatice Cadreimin



Now in the living room I and Linda, while Sumila's mom has left for Arabia and Yanti has left for Malaysia.


So every night, the room just contained the two of us. We used to talk about our lives, Linda was like me, leaving a toddler, but the difference was that she was married, and I was a widow.


Linda went so tkw because of the economic crisis, when telling about the child, then we both would cry and be equally strengthening.


Linda used to tease me about my good looks, and that certainly made me blush in shame.


Like yesterday when he asked me about my brother.


"By the way you know who he is? I mean what his job is, his house where, he's rich he's not Indonesian" said Linda who made me realize if I really do not know who the real brother.


I was stunned to hear his question. And Linda only noticed that her roommate was silent and did not answer her question.


"It's not that you're advising or anything, you better be careful, I don't expect you to get hurt a second time" he said, staring into my eyes.


I took a deep breath, it was true what Linda said, I mustn't rush.


But my heart has changed since last week, every day is a very long day for me to look forward to the weekend.


Just like this afternoon, at seven I was tidy. Because every Sunday night my brother would come.


And exactly what I thought, fifteen minutes later our door was knocked on, and when I opened the door, my brother stood up with his sweet smile.



I can see if Linda's eyes are flabbergasted and it makes me nudge her shoulders.


Linda stammered so realizing that she was caught gawking in amazement at her brother


"Hi" said Linda's brother


Linda smiled awkwardly, this was the first time for her to see a brother up close.


"Please enter" Linda said


My brother looked at me, I smiled at him.


"So sorry, we have to go now. Maybe next time" my brother replied to Linda


"Yuk Ndah" asked my brother


I said goodbye to Linda. Only then did my brother and I join hands to walk towards the car that was parked inside


My eyes immediately sparkled happily when I saw there was a pack of Abraham standing in a sprightly position near the car. The reflex of my hand grip on my brother came off and I ran small towards Abraham.


Ariadi who saw the beautiful act could only raise both hands.


Seeing me run small towards him, Abraham immediately put on a friendly face and smiled at me


"Maa Syaa Alloh finally we can meet again sir" I said happily while shaking his hand and putting it on my forehead


"Say I've said mbak, if given God long life we will meet again"


"Eh hemm" brother cleared his throat when he got near us who immediately made Mr. Abraham's face so unpleasant.


"Finally I can meet Mr. Abraham again bang" said I sumringah


Ariadi put on a flat face, while the face of Mr. Abraham stiffened


"Oh, it's going to get into this problem" he said in his heart


"Open car!" said brother cold


I stopped my smile immediately. And pout stared at brother


Without waiting for the order twice, Abraham opened the car door and we entered.


After we sat down, Abraham again closed the door, and he walked around the car, opened the front door, and immediately started the car slowly


"I've been here almost two months, I never found me" I told Mr. Abraham


Mr. Abraham's face grew stifling. While Ariadi just rubbed his chin to hear Indah speak familiarly on the bodyguard


"I'm busy" replied Mr. Abraham tensely


"Abang is also busy, but brother can meet me, right bang?" tanyaku spoiled


Brother just smiled in line. And I put on a sullen face again.


"Run the car properly, don't talk much" said brother cold


I'm shaking my lips. Seeing that brother immediately grabbed my hand and grasped it.


Mr. Abraham looked through the rearview mirror, he smiled faintly at his boss who was jealous of him


"See what you are?!" snapped brother


With a stutter, Mr. Abraham returned to focus on looking ahead.


"That's not okay" I said, not liking


"Abang does not want any other man to look at you let alone like you, you belong to brother" said brother seriously while tilting his sitting position and facing towards me while still holding tightly my hand


Hearing that, Abraham coughed while I looked at him with sadness. Of course this makes me float, jauuhhhh once to the cloud, hehehe.


He tilted his head to hear Abraham coughing


"Sorry boss, my throat is itchy, I swear!" answer Abraham timidly


Brother grunted annoyedly. Along the way my brother was very sweet to me. She was ceaselessly holding my hand and even kissing it once.


I also became spoiled like a brother, I put my head on his shoulders and looked at his face with love.


The masculine scent of my brother's body made me very comfortable. Until I put my head on his shoulder


...****************...


"Take care of yourself yes, another week brother will be here" said brother when driving me to the front door of the room


I smiled sweetly at him.


"I am too" I replied softly


My brother pulled me into his presence. I hugged my brother's body as if I didn't want to part.


"Return home yes" he said while releasing a hug on my body


I nodded


"Greetings to Abraham" I said


Brother immediately put on a flat face


I immediately tiptoed and wrapped both my hands around her neck


"I love you so much, brother, only brother in my heart" I looked up into his eyes


I could see there was a happy glow in his eyes as I said that.


Seeing the mischievous gurgle of my brother who was about to pull my nape, I immediately took my hand off his neck.


"Go home, it's night. I want to go in, pity Linda from earlier alone" I said with a smile teasing her


Ariadi rubbed her chin while smiling


"I love you more" he said


"Me too" I replied


Then my brother left and I knocked on the door. It didn't take long, the door opened, Linda with a sigh pulled the bag of groceries that I tenteng


"It's for me, right?" ask him while taking out the contents inside


"He uh" I answered while closing the door


"Well, it's Ndah's expensive food. You are very lucky" he said, bribing the food you bought at the restaurant.


I went in and washed my face and I sat down near Linda who was eating with her heart.


I smiled to myself.


"Woy, your welcome?" linda said to see Beautiful smiling herself


I immediately punched his arm.


"Not polite" I replied


Linda doesn't care about me, she just keeps chewing on the food that pretty much my brother buys. There are three types of food menus that you bought earlier, and all of them are appetizing


...****************...


Night Thursday


The door to our room was knocked as Linda and I were sleeping. I immediately stood looking for the hijab and walked to open the door


When the door opened, I found a man standing outside.


"Yes?" say


"We need a minute with you" replied the man


"My same? who are you?" I was surprised because I didn't know that person


"Why Ndah?" linda shouted from inside


"Guests" I replied


"Can we talk for a minute?" heed


I looked left right.


"Don't worry, just for a minute" he said


I nodded


"A little while, I'm saying goodbye to my roommate" I said


The man nodded. Linda followed my steps out, and she looked a little suspiciously at the man


"Promise only for a moment" he told the man


"I promise"


Then I followed the man's steps down the stairs to the earth.


The man walked towards the car parked in the yard. As soon as we arrived, he opened the car door. I can see that inside there is a beautiful woman with reddish-brown hair. The characteristics of the outer woman are so obvious from her face, sharp nose and bulenya face can not lie if she is pure bule


"Please come in" he said


I doubtfully followed his orders.


I sat right next to the woman. At least he didn't look at me. His gaze remained straight ahead


The man who had told me to come in, came in as well and sat behind the wheel


His body was tilted back looking at us who were silent to each other


My chest is beating fast. Fear is beating me. Both of these people could hurt me


"Include me Rio, I'm a detective" he said


I smiled stiffly at him


"And this is Mrs Hatice Kaderimin" she said again, looking at the beautiful woman next to me.


A beautiful woman wearing a black dress with neck v glanced at me


"I've been following you long enough" Rio said


I was shocked to hear his confession. My forehead wrinkled. I didn't know the two of them, and all of a sudden they said that if they had followed me long enough, what was that supposed to mean??
