THE BEST BROTHERS

Extra Part 8 "I Love Him" The Best Brother

Arkan has arrived at Raffi's house. He drove Thalia who asked to go to the Reading Garden. Reading has indeed become opium for Thalia. Seeing the stack of books on the neatly arranged bookshelf was a beauty in itself for Thalia.

“Kak, titip Thalia, yes?” arkan told Alina.

“Iya, let Thalia be here, you want to go to the workshop, right?” ask Alina.

“Yes, there is still a lot of work that Arkan must complete, because tomorrow a week Arkan wants a holiday, want to focus on the class increase exam,” replied Arkan.

“That's you, think of school first, the workshop will have people to take care of, Arkan,” Alina said.

“I also want to learn to be able to develop the workshop,” replied Arkan.

“Yes already, Brother, Arkan want to go to the workshop first, drop Thalia,” say goodbye Arkan by kissing the hand of his sister-in-law.

“Iya, let her be here,” replied Alina.

“Don't bother Kak Alin, I'll finish Isya I'll pick you up.” Arkan said to Thalia by rubbing his head.

“OK, I'm not bothering you, most ngerepotin Kak Alin, right, Kak Alin?” thalia answered while rubbing Alina's already bloated stomach.

“Kasihan Kak Alin you bother to continue, see the stomach is big,” said Arkan.

“Iya no, I will not bother Kak Alin, already there to the workshop,” said Thalia.

Arkan immediately went to his workshop because it was noon. Alina also left some cakes that she had made for Arkan's snacks there with her friend. Alina is happy that Thalia is at home, because she is just like herself reading books. Thalia is also good at cooking and baking in addition to reading hobbies. Every time Thalia was in her house, Alina's work in the reading garden became light. Thalia also loves children, and often plays with children who like to read, sometimes teaching them and reading to them.

“Sister Alin has lunch?” ask Thalia.

“Already, Kak Raffi had lunch at home, so all brothers accompanied Kak Raffi lunch,” replied Alina.

“You definitely haven't eaten, have you? Let's eat first, it was Kak Alin cook capcay same chicken chrispy, yuk Brother accompany you eat,” invite Alina.

“OK, Thalia change clothes first, sis,” said Thalia.

Thalia went straight into the guest room that she used to take a break while at Alina's house. Alina already thinks of Thalia and Tita as her own sister, just like Arkan. Thalia and Tita also often stay at Alina's house if the weekend. They like the atmosphere of Raffi's house that looks beautiful with views of the flowers in the park, and a spacious courtyard beside the reading garden with small benches that are there.

The page is always crowded with children playing ball every afternoon, or reading. The reading garden is also open until 9 pm, open to the public, and if the weekend is definitely crowded visitors. Next to the spacious courtyard is also a small coffee shop and other contemporary food stalls. Raffi accidentally opens it, and hires people to take care of it.

^^

As the Maghrib neared, Arkan was preparing to give up his work. Today was really tiring, even though Arkan only worked half a day, he felt very tired.

Arkan opened his phone to contact Thalia. He saw some messages from Lily. Arkan scrunched his forehead seeing Lily sending a lot of messages to Arkan. Arkan is a message from Thalia, but no incoming message from Thalia.

“Arkan, we can meet this afternoon or later tonight after returning from the workshop?” ~ Lily.

“Arkan, I want to have an important talk with you.” ~Lily.

“Why don't you reply to him, Arkan? Have you really forgotten me?” ~Lily.

“Which one said Arkan will keep chasing me? Even though I'm already with Sandi? ~Lily.

“What all because you already have Thalia?” ~Lily.

Arkan read it just shaking his head. He doesn't like women like Lily. After knowing who she was, Lily grew more and more determined to return.

“What does he mean? basic girl matre!” arkan said with annoyance.

Dawn heard what Arkan was talking about, but Dawn still heard what Arkan had said.

“Who is matre, Kan?” ask Dawn.

“It read it yourself,” replied Arkan by giving his phone to Dawn.

Dawn read one by one a message from Lily, she laughed at what she read. Didn't expect Lily to be a girl who looks calm but like that.

“Good girl! Remember, bro! Love uses logic, if your logic goes, you must know what you will do to face this kind of girl. If your logic is not used, I guarantee you will be caught in his trap. I'm sure Lily's still trying to catch up with you. This message should not be deleted, this is for proof that you are not with him. And, if you love Thalia, you have to be honest with everyone, speak honestly with Thalia about this,”.

“Siap bro! I'm sure Lily still has a conflict with Sandi. So, she was like that, I didn't expect her to be like that, fortunately I wasn't with her anymore. I'll be honest with Thalia. And, I will meet him with Thalia,” Arkan said.

“Good, that's a real guy's name. But, you have to be careful, only time he will trap you, so as to get you back,” said Fajar.

“OK, I'll be careful,” replied Arkan.

After Isya Arkan prepared to return home from the workshop, she first replied to a message from Lily. Yeah, he'll meet her and take Thalia along to see her.

“Oke, we meet at temapat regular.” ~Arkan.

“Iya, you picked me up, Kan?” ~Lily.

“Sorry, I can't pick you up, I just order OJOL to go to the park near your house.” ~Arkan.

“Are you going with Thalia?” ~Lily.

“Yes, because I'm still with Thalia. I'll pick up Thalia at my sister's house.” ~Arkan.

“Can't you see me first?” ~Lily.

“Sorry, Ly, I can't, I have to take Thalia. I'm also responsible for driving Thalia home.” ~Arkan.

“Yes, another time, and I want her to meet you, without inviting Thalia.” ~Lily.

“You now or another time, I will still meet you with Thalia.” ~Arkan.

Arkan ended the chat with Lily. He finds out that Lily has a certain purpose for him. Arkan put on his leather jacket and took his bag. He went straight with Dawn to go home first.

Arkan still remembered Fajar's words about Lily. She thought, she should always be careful with Lily. Arkan knows, Lily will likely trap Arkan because he has rarely been seen with Sandi.

^^

Lily was still glued to the edge of the bed. He did not know what his fate would be like. After getting to know Sandi, she's getting free of her life.***free and the night world as well she does. It was all because of a friend of Password like that. He was often a puppet in bed. Lily often does that, until now she does not know pregnant or not, because almost two months she does not menstruate.

“I'm a fool, it turns out Arkan is more everything than Sandi. I have always been jealous of Angel, Sisil, and Vanya who have an average boyfriend of rich kids. As for Arkan, he only worked in the workshop, and his life was mediocre. But, it turns out he's more than I thought. I am a fool! There's no way she'll come back to me, let alone Thalia now. But, I should be able to get Arkan again, no matter what!” muttered Llily with growl.

Lily put her body on the bed. She tried to contact Sandi, but her number was off for almost a week after she told Sandi that she had not menstruated for nearly two months.

“If I'm pregnant how?” murmured Lily by rubbing her flat stomach.

Lily tries to contact Arkan again, he sends another chat to Arkan, and asks Arkan to meet him in the park. Any clock Lily will wait for Arkan in the park.

^^

Arkan was already at Raffi's house, they were enjoying dinner at Raffi's house. Alina had deliberately told her domestic assistant to cook more than usual because there was Thalia, and all of them invited Thalia and Arkan to dinner at her house.

After dinner, Arkan sat in the living room with Thalia, Raffi, and Alina. They talked about the company. Arkan who had received advice from his papa to learn about business, finally he asked Oada Raffi about taking care of the company.

“She wants to raise Dad's workshop Arsyil?” ask Thalia.

“Iya, that's the main purpose, if I can take care of the company as well, what's wrong?” answer Arkan.

“That's new sister brother, look, Brother Dio, he takes care of 3 companies at once, and he's just casually living it,” said Raffi.

“Makanya, you have to study hard, let your dreams come true, you are also Lia. You women must also have expertise, not only at home, see Kak Rania, Kak Najwa, Kak Rana, also Kak Shifa, they also hold other control despite taking care of the household, he said,” says Alina.

“Iya dong, Brother. Lia also wants to be a career woman. Yes, not a career woman anyway, later busy like mama. Lia would rather like to be like Kak Alin, take care of the reading garden, set up a school for children who can't afford it, it looks good times, huh? if you are a teacher,” said Thalia.

“So the teacher will be your students in fear, you will be fierce,” continued Arkan.

“You're wrong, Arkan. Precisely the children here prefer Thalia now, all Thalia who taught her,”.

“Oh, yes? I thought he was fierce, Brother,” replied Arkan.

Thalia is a smart girl. No wonder his class is nicknamed the nerd. Admiring the figure of a teacher in her school, made Thalia want to become a teacher. He was impressed with the biology teacher at his school. Ms. Lusi's name, probably not because of her teacher as well, because she also likes biology lessons.

Arkan suddenly remembered Lily who had sent him a message. Arkan always confided with Raffi. Arkan Raffi is a comfortable interlocutor. Arkan picks up his phone again, he sees Lily texting him again.

“Arkan, I need to talk to you, have you brought Thalia home?” ~Lily.

“Arkan any hour, please meet me in the regular park. I want to talk to you.” ~Lily.

Arkan shook his head. She doesn't understand Lily. It's impossible for an Arkan to meet a tangah girl at night.

“So this crazy guy, there's a girl like this,” Arkan told Raffi by showing his phone to Raffi.

Raffi read all the messages from Lily, he just shook his head, not expecting the quiet Lily to be as aggressive as it was to his sister.

“Isn't he the one who sent you in front of class and in front of your friends? Shameless as hell as he?” Raffi.

“Well it is, Brother. Just asked to take me home this afternoon. What's crazy? Yes, I'm the OJOL pesenin all of you, right, Lia?” arkan.

“Oh the Lily? Strange he, may regret the time you mutusin,” he said while doing his schoolwork.

“Pastya,” said Raffi.

“Be careful, he will trap you. I saw that for almost a week he had been to school riding OJOL or sometimes a taxi, not the same as his pretentious girlfriend, said Tita,”.

“Iya emang, ah...bodo very, time yes any hour want to meet me? This crazy girl, if sane at 9 o'clock is already at home. Maximum of 10 hours, time yes clock,” said Arkan.

“Have not been in urucine,” said Alina.

“Iya, sis,” Arkan replied.

Arkan read again the chat from Lily. He replied by sending a photo of Thalia who was working on the task, who was sitting next to Alina.

“Sorry, is accompanying my daughter master who still does not want to go home.” Arkan retaliates like that.

“Let alone, he who started yes I gini,” muttered Arkan.

Arkan put his phone in his pants pocket. He chatted with Raffi with occasional glances at Thalia who was seriously doing her job. Arkan unraveled his smile at seeing Thalia's cute and adorable face.

“She's really pretty, you'll be mine Thalia. Wait for me, so that I can achieve my dreams, provision to make you happy,” muttered Arkan.

Thalia closed her workbook. He's done his job. Thalia put her book back in her bag. Arkan from earlier kept stealing glances at Thalia.

“Kan, have you done the job?” ask Thalia.

“Already, just before coming here, I do the task first, while waiting for the OB to clean up the workshop,” replied Arkan.

Arkan did his job after he worked. As her OB cleans the workshop, she does her chores while waiting for her OB to finish cleaning. Arkan did have Doni and Wahyu look for an OB to help clean up the workshop after the mechanics had finished work.

Now the Arsyil workshop already has 10 reliable mechanics that remain. Seoerti Doni and Wahyu now only take care of the management of the workshop. And himself with Dawn, amateur mechanics, just to learn, but according to Doni and Revelation the work of Arkan and Dawn is already good.

“Oh, kirain not yet, if not already working,” said Thalia.

“Already, let's go home, it'll be 9,” said Arkan.

“I'm still at home here.” Thalia spoiledly said so.

“Later weekend sleep here with Tita, now it's night, you go home, you worry,” said Alina.

“Kan was already video call the same eye, Kak Alin also know, right?” the answer.

“Yes, but pity your sister at home, pity her too. Later pay again, weekend or fitting holiday you can stay here,” said Alina.

“Ya already Lia home,” he said with half the weight.

Arkan and Thalia are ready to go home. Thalia is actually a little upset with Lily who is still in love with Arkan's life. However, he always brushed aside his sense of regret, because he always believed that Arkan would be his someday, without having to bind his heart, without having to tie a promise that was somehow uncertain of its end.

“Love should not be expressed in words. Because love will be more meaningful if expressed by deeds and good treatment to the people he loves,” Thalia murmured.

“I love this girl, a girl named Thalia. But, I won't show my love to Thalia just yet. Because I'm sure Thalia must be mine,” Arkan muttered.
