The Moon is Split

Protection of the Brother

"August, Brother... "

"August, Darling ... Are you sure you want to go to school today?"

"Yes, Brother. Kira's better"

"Later tonight we control again huh?!"

"Yes, Brother"

Kirani sits on the chair next to her brother. They had breakfast together as usual. Arzie takes Kira to school, but this time he doesn't just deliver her to the front gate. But this time Arzie delivered him into his class.

"Waaahh... How handsome..."

"Grandie...."

Instantly, his friends were excited to see there was a handsome and macho man at his school. Especially Kira's classmate who saw her delivered a man. Arzie's sister became a trending topic today at school, he thought.

Arzie also met his sister's homeroom teacher, leaving Kira who had just recovered from her illness to her homeroom teacher. Kirani felt really pampered by her brother.

"Let's go home let the driver pick you up, Dek. Just go straight home. Don't be dumb first. Let you get enough rest"

"Yes, Brother .."

*****

Kirani was already in the car when her phone rang. A call from Alexi. He took Kirani to lunch at his cafe. Kira asked the driver to take her to the cafe, not too far from her school. Only about twenty minutes.

"Cho, Kira. How are you doing? Long time no see"

"Hi, Brother Alex. Good news. Sorry yes, Brother Alex long wait yes ... "

"Ah... Alex has also just arrived. Please sit down"

"Thank you"

"What do you want to order?"

Kira picked up the menu book in front of her. Alexi called the cafe waiter to order their food. Before long the waiter came to bring their order.

"Where's your school?"

"Alhamdulillah ... Smoothly"

"Nearly the end of the semester, isn't it?"

'Yes, Brother"

"After high school, what are your plans?"

"Not yet to know, Brother. But I want to continue my studies in Jakarta"

"May your ideals be achieved, Yes"

"Aami... Thank you for that ..."

Kira smiled, Alexi could not turn his face away from the sweet smile of the woman before him. She really looks so pretty in Alexi's eyes. Although their age is quite far. Six years. But for Alexi, Kirani is the perfect woman.

It was four in the afternoon, Kirani did not realize that time passed so quickly when she was with Alexi. They shared many stories together.

"It's late in the afternoon, I go home first Brother"

"Why hurry, it's still late in the afternoon"

"I'm sorry, but I have to go home"

Drr... Drr...

Kirani's phone reads. And it's true. A call from her brother. Nawat, Brother Arzie can be angry I have not come home at this time, he thought. Kira stays away from Alexi so Alexi doesn't hear the talk of her and her brother.

"Yes, Brother .. "

"Where are you, Deck. Why haven't you reached home yet?"

"Sorry, Brother. Kira met a friend. So Kira stopped by to talk to him first"

"Friends?"

"Yes, Brother"

"Alexi..!!!"

Arzie took a deep breath. He had guessed that Alexi was the one Kira met.

"So Brother Arzie guessed, must be the Ugly ..."

"Kaa...???!"

"Go home now, Deck. We just got out of the hospital. Don't let you do anything else"

"Yes, Brother. Kira's coming home now"

"Good!!"

Kira hurriedly said goodbye to Alexi. He soon leaves the man, but Alex holds back his ladder. Kira was surprised and looked.

"I guess wait ..."

"What's up, brother"

"Why are you in such a hurry to go home after receiving the call. Can you tell who called you just now?"

Kira's quiet. He didn't answer Alexi's question.

"Sorry, Brother. But I have to go home soon?!"

"If I wasn't mistaken, it was Arzie's phone call. Arzie Yudhana Kusuma's. The crude boss?"

Kira nodded her head.

"I'd guess. What's he want? What's your relationship with Arzie?"

"Sorry, Brother. The story anytime. I'm in a hurry"

Again, Alexi held Kira. He held onto Kira's hand, this time tighter. He didn't want her to leave without explaining anything to him.

But suddenly, someone released his hand grip from Kirani. And pulled the woman's hand in her arms. Kirani was surprised to see her brother already there.

"Sister Arzie?!"

"Why don't you go home, baby ... Didn't Arzie tell you to go straight home?" said Arzie softly but so touched Kirani's heart.

He felt guilty for his brother. She did not heed what her brother had ordered. Arzie knew what Kirani was thinking. He gently rubbed his sister's head, then kissed the sweet woman's crown. He lifted the heart of his beloved sister.

Alexi who saw it became hot heart made. But he was trying to control himself, control his emotions.

"Why are you here? What's your relationship with Kirani"

"Is it that important I should tell you?"

"Ooo... So what do you want now?", challenge Alex.

"You get in the car first, Dek. Wait for Arzie's sister there"

Kira held her brother's hand. She was afraid her brother would fight Alex. His eyes begged his brother very much.

"Sir ....!!??"

Arzie couldn't bear to see his sister pleading like that.

"Alright, this time you survived me. We'll finish our business next time. Come on, get the Deck home"

This time Kirani could no longer deny her brother's orders. Arzie tells the driver who picked Kira up to go home first. He takes Kirani to his car, he opens the door for his sister. Then they went to the city.

Arzie wants to have a four-eye talk with his sister. They didn't get out of the car. The sister was silent for a moment.

"Relse ... "

"Hmmm... "

"I'm sorry, Kira ya. Kira did not obey the words of Brother Arzie. Kira knows Arzie's brother is worried about Kira"

"It's okay, honey. Sorry, Arzie, a little emotional. Brother Arzie just wants you to focus first on your school. The thing is that you guys will be making a match even Arzie's sister doesn't matter. It's just too young for you to know him. He's much older than you. Brother Arzie is afraid he'll play you later"

"Sister Arzie knows he has special feelings for you. If he is really serious with you, he should be patient until you finish your education. If that time comes, Brother Arzie will not stand in your way. As long as Brother Arzie scores it's good for you. For your future"

"Yes, Brother. I guess I understand what Arzie's mean"

Arzie smiled at his sister. Then she hugged Kira with warmth. Kira also did not help his brother's orders. She knew what her brother said was for her good.
