THE BEST BROTHERS

Extra Part 10 "We're Made?" The Best Brothers

A boisterous voice rang out in the classroom, due to an announcement that made all the 2nd graders cheer in joy. Yes, after the class hike exam, all 2nd graders will go on a study tour to Jogja, and today is the last day of the class increase exam. Thalia who is curious about Yogyakarta Special Region is also happy because there will be a Study Tour there.

For a week, Thalia was rarely in Arkan's workshop again. She's more than happy at Alina's house to study. He focused on studying to take the grade-level examination. There is a longing buried in Thalia's heart, usually every day he accompanies Arkan in the workshop, for a week yesterday he spent studying at Alina and Raffi's house.

He chose to stay at Raffi's house for a week because Raffi's house is comfortable to study, especially in a reading garden. And, at that time Raffi was also busy outside the city to handle other projects, so Thalia accompanied Alina. Thalia met Arkan when she left school, at school, and came home from school, the rest of them, they did not meet again, until they met the next day to go to school.

Thalia felt a little relieved, because Lily also did not bother Arkan anymore. Inexplicably Lily suddenly moves away from Arkan, perhaps out of embarrassment or what Thalia doesn't know.

Arkan approached Thalia who was packing his stationery. Arkan knows, if Thalia is happy to hear there will be a Study Tour to Jogja, he was happy, because he planned to go to Jogja with Dio, Kiara, and Rania, also invited Tita. However, because Dio and Rania are a lot of work, so they are not ready to go to Jogja.

“Finally to Jogja too,” Thalia said by unraveling her happy smile in front of Arkan.

“Setting as well, after you are disappointed with Brother Dio,” replied Arkan.

“I am not disappointed, indeed Brother Dio is busy, yes I am just the same time you go there, not cool,” said Thalia.

“Yes too, anyway. No, don't keep smiling. What a sweet smile you have, Lia. Later I have diabetes,” Arkan said by pinching Thalia's cheek.

“Ah, you could have, go home, yuk?” take Thalia with blushing cheeks for being treated like that.

“Jiaah... red cheeks, why gini? Funny you,” said Arkan while rubbing the cheek of Thalia that makes Thalia more red.

“Ah...already do not gini, Arkan,” said Thalia with a shy head.

“Ehemmm... This is in class, do not make all bucins because you,” said Anya who is still beside Lia.

“Salah bucin,” replied Arkan.

For what reason Thalia's heart was racing. For a week Arkan always showed more attention to Thalia, especially every message that Arkan sent, always made Thalia float up the clouds.

“Don't envy, later you I'll be bucinin deh,” Rangga said to Anya.

“Ih... what the hell, anyway?” say Anya with shame.

“Have we gone home, yuk? Let them here complete the mission,” take Arkan.

“OK, we go to Kak Alin, yes?” bring Thalia.

“Ehm... yes, but I want to take you somewhere first,” Arkan said.

“One place? Most workshops, where to go again,” said Thalia.

“Already come,” invite Arkan by holding Thalia's hand.

Arkan and Thalia dropped out of class to go home. Lily had seen Arkan's treatment of Thalia so romantically. He did not expect Arkan would turn out to be that fast move on from him, which he said would always pursue him, even though he was already with Sandi.

Sisil saw a look of sadness perched on Lily's face. She knew that Lily was really sorry to break Arkan. Sisil used to say, do not be rash to make a decision, especially Sisil knows how Sandi. He was if the courtship had to fuck his girlfriend. Fortunately no one was pregnant, and Lily was relieved, because she was not pregnant, just because of unstable hormones, so Lily was late for the moon.

“Don't daydream, don't think of Arkan, you need a break from the thing called romance. Do not torture yourself who always feel guilty,” said Sisil.

“Gue money, Sil. I couldn't see who really loved me at the time. I just look, have a guy should be able to happyin me. Who wants to take me shopping, walking, eating at expensive restaurants, romantic dinners. And, that's all I don't get from Arkan, as long as I'm with Arkan almost 2 months,” explained Lily.

“Arkan was just busy in the workshop, he said this for you later, the future for himself later and me. I guess he's fantasizing, how can an amateur mechanic be successful, not possible, right? And, it turns out it was his workshop,” added Lily.

“Lo also did not ask Arkan whose workshop?” ask Sisil.

“Gue also knew from Dawn, he was just a mechanic help, the pay was also a little. I have asked Dawn, it turns out he also lied,” replied Lily.

“Each him do not lust!” sisil.

“Lo knows, right? I also want to like lo, Angel, Vanya, Diana, and Lulu, who are always made happy by your girlfriends. And, when you know Sandi, it has not been made yet she has made me float, Sil,” explained Lily.

“Ya, indeed, not wrong, girls do need Shopping, money, and sightseeing. Sandi is what, if again chasing girls all he gives. Later if you are bored, like you, left behind. Fortunately you are not pregnant, try if pregnant,” said Sisil.

“Already, you do not ngarep Password back again, let alone ngarep Arkan. I'm sure Arkan will be the same Thalia. They are slow to build. Thalianya not really kebaperan, lo nearin Arkan continued that he did not feel angry or how the same Arkan, even added nempel. Just look, yesterday when you were the same Arkan, Thalia was angry at a clash with Arkan. He got along again, joking again,” explained Sisil.

“Yes, I also see them like no show, but like a courtship. He said dating, he was like that,” Lily said.

“Indeed their style of dating like that. Just like his brothers. My papah said, all the Arkan family if dating does not look like dating, will suddenly spread the invitation, whether Thalia is Arkan or not. Moreover, they are both familiar with his parents,” added Vanya.

“Well, don't be sad, Ly. We want to study tour later, do not think guys, throw it into the sea just a guy. You must have gotten more than Sandi. Gratitude can be more than Arkan,” said Angel.

“Yes, Njel. I really have to forget everything, both Sandi and Arkan,” Lily said.

“That's dong, don't be sad, you still got us. And, because of yesterday's incident with Thalia, we have to improve ourselves a little bit. I'm not thinking about Thalia. Yes, although he lives abroad, but he still has good manners, unlike us,” said Angel.

“Lo new sober, Njel?!” ask Vanya jokingly in class.

“Ya, just realized this time, anyway,” replied Angel.

“Already yuk, we hang out at the Cafe. There is a new cafe you know, he was cool to hang out there,” invite Sisil.

“Cafe that's over there?” ask Vanya.

“Yes, you know?” ask Sisil.

“That's his sister Arkan's cafe. His son managed it, meaning his cousin Arkan. Yesterday at the inauguration, Papah was invited there, but, I didn't go. Papah is the same mamah who went there,” replied Vanya.

“Ya already there, yuk?” take Angel.

The four of them went to the cafe, now the four of them live. Because Diana and Lulu rarely joined them after the incident with Thalia back then. Diana and Lulu are punished by her parents, and are transferred to her class, so as not to be with Angel and the others.

Arkan takes Thalia to a cool, beautiful place. They go to the tea garden just to unwind because a week has focused uian class increase.

“Arkan, what do we want here?” ask Thalia.

“Yes, just wash your eyes anyway, look green-green. Let the mind fresh again,” replied Arkan.

“I think where to go, but good too anyway, the air is cool,” said Thalia.

“Means I brought you here, we're there, huh?” take Arkan by riding his motorcycle.

Arkan walks down to the plantation with Thalia. They walk down the path between the green tea leaves. Although during the day, the weather is cool not too hot. Arkan invited Thalia to sit on a small bench made of wood. They sat down looking at the green expanse that was soothing to the eyes.

“Thalia,” call Arkan.

“What?” answer Thalia.

“I want to ask, can?” ask Arkan.

Want to ask what?” ask Thalia.

“As long as you are here, you are happy?” ask Arkan.

“Happy, I like it here. Although the first time I got treated badly when I was first at school, it didn't scare me,” she replied.

“That's all because there's you, Arkan. Which is always there for me, thank you,” muttered Thalia.

“You have a boyfriend?” ask Arkan who made Thalia look at Arkan.

“Sorry I asked that, I mean, what before you came here, you there had a girlfriend?” say Arkan again.

“Ehm... I was there rarely have friends, especially when I first entered High School there, all my friends can be said that women like Angel and his gang. And, being men, they scare all, that's why I rarely go out there,” replied Thalia.

“Then, you already have a girlfriend?” ask Arkan again.

“Pacar? Ehm... not yet,” replied by unraveling her sweet smile.

“Funny huh? I lived abroad for a long time, but I never knew what it was to be called a date. I'm always at home, rarely out. Even I lost to Tita, you can only know Tita on social media, I boro-boro social media,” explained Thalia.

“Yes too, usually girls who live long there, the association also goes there, but I see you are not like that. Tita too, although she is more active her son,” Arkan said.

“Yes is like that. Papah never restrained me and Tita to hang out there. But I'm the only one who doesn't want to hang out. And, here I have friends only you, Rangga and Anya,” said Thalia.’

“Friends close there?” ask Arkan.

“There, you,” replied Thalia.

“Near in the heart no?” ask Arkan.

“Ehm... You mean?” thalia said nervously.

“Near in the heart no?” ask Arkan again.

“Eng....Don't know,” the answer is nervous.

“Don't be so nervous,” says Arkan.

“Ih... go home yuk?” bring Thalia.

“Kok home, answer first, Lia.” Arkan held Thalia's hand which would run from his seat. He held Thalia's palm.

“Arkan, can I talk?” thalia.

“Bby, please,” reply Arkan.

“You remember we first met where?” ask Thalia.

“Remember, and remember once,” replied Arkan.

“Where?” ask Thalia.

“In Restaurant, when Om Leon wants to take dinner,” replied Arkan.

“You know, at that time I had fallen in love with a handsome man wearing a black jacket who was sitting on that motorcycle,” Thalia said by showing a Arkan motorcycle.

“You mean?” ask Arkan.

Arkan just smiled looking at Thalia's face that looked annoyed with Arkan, when imagining his first meeting.

“Then now? Still hate or fall in love again?” ask Arkan who made Thalia blush.

“Apaan anyway, if it is different now, Arkan,” replied Thalia by enduring the shame and feeling that does not know what it means.

“Kok that? Now then?”

“I don't know, Arkan.”

“Thalia, I like you. I can no longer hold back the feeling that continues to linger in my heart. Maybe, I was too hopeful, if you want to be part of my empty heart,” Arkan said.

“Yakin still empty?” ask Thalia.

“Yakin, and I want to fill it with one name. Yes, only one name, which is Thalia,” Arkan replied.

“Then your ex how?” ask Thalia.

“I no longer know him. I want you, and you that I will fight for, to accompany me until the end of my time,” replied Arkan.

“Yakin?” ask Thalia again.

“You know, I don't need “three Ta” in my life. Treasure, Throne, Woman. All I need is “one Ta” in my life. Yes, Thalia. Because with Thalia, I can pursue what Treasure and Throne are. If it's for women, it's just you, Thalia, my woman,” Arkan replied.

Thalia felt high up in the clouds with Arkan's answer. He really likes Arkan, even he loves him. The love in Thalia's heart thrives because Arkan always pays more attention to her. And now his love is avenged, because Arkan loves him too.

“Why silence? How to cry?” ask Arkan by looking at Thalia's reddened face.

“I..ehmm..I don't hate you, Arkan. I started falling in love again, ever since you were by my side. And, I hope, you can hold onto those words of yours, only I am your woman,” replied Thalia.

“It must be Thalia. I'm not messing with my words,” said Arkan.

“While I'm going to college in Berlin, and we're splitting?” ask Thalia.

“Yes, I will always be waiting for you. Always keep this heart for you. I'm sure you're my soul mate. I don't know what God wills, the most important thing is that I'm sure. If you want to go to Berlin, I'll wait for you to come back here again. I'm sure we'll meet again the next day, I need to develop my business, for us later. For our future. Get your dream first, Thalia. And, once we have both achieved our dreams, we will be united for good, trust me,” Arkan replied.

“Although many arals cross in front of us?” ask Thalia.

“If our love is strong, we will be able to hit all the arals that cross in front of us, we can get through it. Trust me, Lia,” Arkan replied.

“We must have mutual trust, and must support each other, also understand each other,” Arkan added

“Iya Arkan, indeed it should always be in a relationship. Whether it's still dating or married,” said Thalia.

“Iya right, especially if you are married, must be developed again mutual trust and understand each other,” said Arkan.

“So today, we made it?” ask Arkan.

“Ehm... do you think?” ask Thalia

“Yes we made,” replied Arkan

“Iya, I want,” said Thalia.

“Yakin?”

“Iya I'm sure, don't be ferocious again, huh?” thalia said with spoiled.

“Each of you do not jutek and nyebelin, if you do not want me fierce with you,” said Arkan.

“Iya, no. I'm also jutek because you started,” replied Thalia.

“Ya no, you start first, not me,” Arkan said.

“Gak is, you. You who often angry with me first, you who always make me sprained!” thalia said with annoyance.

“Sama you are too! It's coming out, you big-ass grandma!” said Arkan no less upset.

“Tuh, you start saying I'm a dipper grandma!”

“From us, anyway!”

“I want to go home!” thalia said angrily.

“Ya is come!” answer Arkan in a high tone.

“He said dear, he said love, by the way!” thalia Tukas.

“Formerly we are.” Arkan had already begun to soften his heart.

“This sit first, don't get angry.” Arkan pulled Thalia to sit next to him again. He rubbed Thalia's head and slipped Thalia's messy hair behind Thalia's ears.

“Don't you freak out why, anyway?” thalia.

“Iya sorry, already dong don't manyun that. I'm sorry, honey,” Arkan said gently.

“Tadi said what?” ask Thalia.

“What, huh? I forgot,” replied Arkan.

“Ih...nyebelin!” thalia Tukas.

“Don't sulk Thalia, Darling.” Say Arkan by rubbing Thalia's cheek.

For what sake Thalia cheeks instantly red blush like a tomato that is too ripe. Thalia was first treated by Arkan as sweet as this, usually he always had a difference of opinion and a bit of a fight, now Arkan treat Thalia as sweet as this.

“Don't sweet-sweet gini, Arkan. I will be diabetic,” said Thalia with a smile of embarrassment at Arkan whose eyes were satisfied from earlier framing the face of Ayu Thalia.

“Let's go, I'll be nice to my girlfriend. Pity if it continues,” replied Arkan.

“Nyebelin!” thalia said by hitting Arkan on the chest.

“Now, you're mine, I mean, girlfriend anyway, not a whole thing. Later if I have been successful like Raffi, I will propose to you soon. Our path is still long, I want us to reach our dreams first,” said Arkan.

“OK, I ask, hold your words, and always be beside me,” Thalia said.

“Iya, Darling. Except when you're at home, I can't be beside you, I have to be next to you, sleep should be by your side?” arkan.

“Not that, Arkan. I mean, if we're in school,” said Thalia.

“Kan who sits next to you just as much as Anya lesson time,” Arkan said with a Thalia sneer.

“Ah... you...! bummer!” thalia Tukas.

“Do not get angry again. Yeah, I know what you mean. Here hug,” says Arkan.

“Related, later pregnant,” replied Thalia.

“If kiss?” ask Arkan.

“What else is it, don't want!” the answer.

Thalia felt today was a happy day for her. His love is avenged, he does love Arkan since he first saw Arkan busy with his postel when he was invited to dinner with his parents. Arkan is the son of his parents' best friend. Funnily enough, Thalia's father had proposed to her mother Arkan, and because her mother Arkan did not want to, her father Thalia finally released her mother Arkan, and married her mother Thalia, a close friend of her mother Arkan.

“You know our parents' past?” ask Thalia.

“Soal Om Leon with Mommy?” ask Arkan.

“Yes, they're funny, huh? But, I salute them, until now you are still compact, even though there is a past between them,” jawan Thalia.

“That's friendship, Lia. Because indeed love can not be forced,” said Arkan.

“Iya indeed.”

“Arkan I want to ask, have you ever kissed?” ask Thalia.

“Ehmm..”

“Honest,” tukas Thalia.

Arkan was confused as to how to answer. She had kissed Lily. It was all because Lily was pushy, and Lily was so aggressive. He also often told Arkan to do more on him, such as having Arkan hold his chest and play on his chest with his lips. However, Arkan always refused, and he kissed Lily's lips only because Lily started and forced him.

“Enter with Lily, right?” ask Thalia again.

“Ehmm. Please don't be angry,” Arkan replied by holding Thalia's hand.

“Anged? I'm not angry, Arkan. I'm just asking. Don't touch his face. It's natural that you kiss,” said Thalia.

“For God's sake, Lily forced me, Thalia,” Arkan said solemnly.

“Forced also enjoy, right?” ledek Thalia's.

“No need to ask that, I know your heart hurts too. Why open up something that ended up hurting you, Thalia. I just want to make you happy, not make you hurt or cry,” Arkan said by kissing the back of Thalia's hand.

“Yes too, huh?” thalia answered by leaning her head on Arkan's shoulder.

“Well, self-conscious, right? That's my past. I also do not want to open it again. why open it if I already have you who are much more perfect than anyone,” said Arkan.

“Hem...totally too,” says Thalia.

“Go home, already want afternoon,” invite Arkan.

“OK, but after we photos there, we go home,” replied Thalia.

“Ya already, let's take photos first,” take Arkan.

Merka take pictures in the middle of the green expanse of tea gardens that cool the eyes. They asked to be photographed by a tea farmer who was picking tea leaves. Thalia posted photos of them on her WhatsApp story. So did Arkan, he also posted it. They often post photos of them in their stories. Whether it's at Raffi's house, at the workshop or at school. But this time it was different. Yes, caption those who made a pause from the previous days.
