The One I Damba

lots of question marks

In the middle room there is a very awkward situation, between Andra, Akbar and Karin they look at each other with a look that looks at each other.

"sister Andra." said Karin breaking the silence created.

"yes..."

"brother husband brother Jingga...?" ask Karin.

"yes, I'm her husband..."

"why brother did not wait for me to grow up and then brother became my husband.." the boy was really plain, his words made Andra smile widely.

"sister Andra will not want to have a whiny wife like Karin." said Akbar mocking his sister.

"i'm not crybaby, I only cry when Brother Jingga never come home because of you." said Karin did not want to lose.

"why because of Akbar...?" ask Andra.

"kak Jingga often comes home at night because she is looking for money for Akbar's treatment." said Karin.

"what is Akbar sick of...?" ask Andra who is getting curious.

"sister Andra did not know, Akbar was very sick, his left chest was often sore and brother Jingga often took Akbar to the hospital for what I do not know.." explained Karin, who was not involved in the incident, the girl's words further magnified Andra's curiosity about who this child was and what it had to do with Orange.

"you know once you, I was just washing blood." so Akbar he did not want his sister to corner him.

"but because of that brother Jingga often go home at night." said Karin again.

"but I didn't ask for it..."

"orange loves you so he wants to do anything for you, even if you're not his real brother, you're a fool." said Karin.

Karin's words successfully made Andra surprised, the bigger the question mark in his mind, he was more curious about what happened actually.

Orange and mistress Cantika came to the kitchen, in both carrying trays containing pieces of fruit as well as drinks.

"fresh pieces of fruit came." said the lady Cantika who was greeted by applause from Andra, Akbar and Karin.

"wah the apple." said Akbar when the piece of fruit finally landed perfectly in his mouth and he chewed.

"i want to, too." said Karin.

"take baby, there are still many." said Orange.

"but I want Andra's brother to bribe me." said Karin.

"you are this, what a bit of an insanity." said Akbar with a mouth full of fruit.

"let me know what your problem is, I told you if I grow up I want to have a husband like Andra's sister." said Karin, I don't know what has attracted the attention of the girl to her eyes Andra looks so perfect from various directions even though she does not know the real attitude of the man.

'no Karin, don't you want to have a husband like Andra, he's evil he hurt me too my heart, I don't want you to feel what I feel, you have to be happy Karin, you have to be happy Karin, let me bear all this do not need you' said Orange in his heart, he could not say directly to Karin

"already, do not fight like that, Karin take the fruit yourself do not bother others.." said Jingga hurt his sister who was fighting the argument.

"orange has always been so, preferring to defend Akbar rather than Me.." Karin pouts.

"here's the pretty boy, let the big brother who feeds you what fruit...?" ask Andra.

"everything..." Karin was so enthusiastic when her wish was fulfilled by Andra, the greater the admiration of the child for Andra.

Orange just shook his head, he realized it turns out Karin did need more affection because all this time the attention of Orange was more focused on Akbar.

Karin was so happy that day, seen from the laughter from him even though Akbar always teased him and even said the centile but Karin did not touch him he even looked so spoiled to Andra.

"sister Andra knows, soon brother Jinga's birthday.." said Karin.

"really.." asked Andra.

"yes, I think there's only one more week left." replied Karin.

Andra nodded in understanding, as if a smile was drawn on her face.

All chatting, spending time together until nightfall, Karin was sleeping on Andra's lap, the little girl looked very comfortable there, she said, akbar was asleep in a long chair with his head on the ground by the thigh of Orange.

"it's late, mom came home first." said Mrs Cantika.

"it's better to stay overnight mom, it's late at night and the kids are already sleeping." said Andra, at this time whether it's just acting or not Andra is so comfortable with this situation, the situation of gathering together with the family, even though he never wanted to come if there was a family gathering event, he preferred to go out of town with Raga on the grounds of branch visits.

Hearing her mother's words Andra was a little upset, that was not the answer she wanted to hear, her mother even cornered herself as if she was unable to do anything without Raga.

"have mother come home, Andra please bring Karin into the car, it seems like this little girl fell in love with you." said Mrs Cantika while standing up.

Andra gave a small nod, she felt that what her mother said was true, Karin looked comfortable with herself when this was the first time they met, Karin seemed to find a father who had never met.

"Please wake up, we go home." said Jingga woke up Akbar who seemed to have gone home and made the child inevitably have to open his eyes.

"come home, alright." said Akbar lazily. The child yawned several times, his drowsiness was no longer able to bear it.

They all walk towards the car, Andra already keeps Karin's small body as comfortable as possible without disturbing the girl's sleep and Akbar sits right next to Karin who is already asleep.

"is brother Jingga coming with us home." asked Akbar between his drowsiness.

"no dear, brother Jingga can not come home with you, later if there is time for brother Jingga will visit you." said Jingga, the voice was so soft, his hands gently stroked Akbar's head, the aura of motherhood was so radiated from her.

"well, disappointed.." said Akbar.

"don't be disappointed Akbar, this weekend brother Jingga and brother Andra promise to visit you, okay..??" andra said as if he did not want the boy to be disappointed.

"really, promise...?? akbar's little finger was raised in front of Andra.

"yes, brother Andra promised..." Andra welcomed Akbar's pinky and made an unwritten agreement between Akbar and Andra.

The orange who heard it frowned, he could not understand how Andra promised Akbar such a thing, what if Andra refused, and he did not, Orange could not imagine how disappointed Akbar to him for not visiting him.

"yes, I'm home first, byyyy..." Akbar was very happy, his lips were sumringah.

"alright, then mom's saying goodbye..."

"yes ma'am, heart of heart." said Jingga, she greeted her mother-in-law and hugged her.

"yes, baby, take care of yourself baby, Andra's a little bit of a bitch." said Ms. Cantika.

"well mother, I will be careful.."with a sweet smile Orange answered the mistress Cantika when in his heart he wanted to say all that Andra had done to him, from the first night, the incident of the first night, he said, it was a shameful incident back then and this morning when Andra consciously threatened her.

Mrs Cantika was already sitting in the car, but arrived

"wait a minute, Mr. Muh." said Mrs Cantika.

"well madam." replied Mr. Muh.

"what's the matter, mom...?" ask Orange.

"Andra, kiss your wife." said Ms. Cantika.

"what you said, didn't want." Andra said.

"mom can understand if you don't want to kiss Orange at the wedding but right now why don't you guys..."

"mom, I don't think it's necessary, we're ashamed..." Orang-orang looking for reasons.

"shame, so funny. Mr. Muh can close the eyes of the father so that the orange is not ashamed to be kissed by Andra.." orders mistress Cantika.

"mom there is only, how about Akbar, he is still too small to witness this all ma'am.." strong reason from Andra, make Akbar as a weapon.

"that child is asleep again, what other reason will you give." said Mrs Cantika.

The situation suddenly became clumsy for Andra as well as Orange, they looked at each other while grinning the horse, how could Andra do that even though he had never kissed Orange.

"come quickly." orders madam Cantika.

Inevitably the couple finally gave up, Andra heavily approached the Orange, doing the thing ordered by her mother. Andra's mind flew on her promise to the orange that would never touch the gadjs but now she had to kiss the girl in front of her mother.

Though one thing that Andra may not have realized that he had indeed broken the promise to the Orange, Andra had touched the body of the Orange, far away, leaving a mark there even the wound was barely penetrating into the recesses of the heart.

One gentle kiss smoothly landed on the right cheek of Orange, it was warm but so painful for Orange, he was inexhaustible with everything that befell him, he said, it felt like he brushed Andra away and even slapped the man in the face.

"wonderful, thank you for obeying the orders of the mother, then the mother went home first." said Mrs Cantika.

The car eventually drove away from the papilun yard, also leaving Andra as well as Orange who waved their hands.
