The Secret of the Heart (Loving My Brother)

Chapter 22

Standing on the balcony of his room, Kennan flanked a cigarette with his index and middle fingers. Playing his smoke into a bubble, he looked up at the twilight sky that was beginning to show an orange color.

He was gathering the courage to tell his parents that he only wanted Zara.

Sipping a cigarette, his right hand grabbed an object in the pocket of his pants. His attention is now turned on the phone screen, his finger nimblely choose the gallery menu. His eyes were fixed on a folder that read my leaves. When opened, there are so many Zara photos stored in that folder.

Kennan smiled as he took a picture of Zara, most of which he took without his knowledge.

"Beautiful" she muttered with her best lips.

Finished smoking, and satisfied with Zara's face on her phone, Kennan stepped into the bathroom to clean himself up. He will perform the maghrib prayer, before going down for dinner.

"Mas Ken, could you please help me, anterin this ahead for Danang?"

"The new Satpam is Danang bund?" He was asked by Nina.

"Still mas" Nina moved the tray into her son's hands.

"Sama-sama bund" said Kennan who immediately swung his legs towards his front house.

"Sir, how was it today?" is there someone suspicious around the house?" Danu looked at the wife fixedly

"This day there is no mas" while cooking rice on Danu's plate, Nina occasionally glanced at him with her eyes

"For a while you do not go out first yes, until it is completely safe"

"Yes, eat first"

"Thank you" Sahut then put the phone next to the plate that Nina just put in front of him

"If you want to shop" said Danu then "Tell Harti mbak to go, just write down what you want to buy" anyway mas pesen, you do not get out"

"What's up, huh?" Kennan who had just come to the dining room, immediately interrupted the conversation of his parents "Seems serious bun?" he continued, pulling up the chair and sitting on it.

"For the sake of your body, so as not to go out alone"

"Yes bun, don't come out!"

Now it's Nina's turn to cook rice for Kennan "Lagian mother ya go where" he replied while putting some side dishes and vegetables on his son's plate "Mother prefers at home sewing clothes or make hijab"

"Are there any sewing supplies you want to buy?"

"There's no mas yet, it's all complete"

Danu seemed to nod while chewing the food "Where's your introduction to Frea Ken?"

Before answering his father's question, Kennan took the time to gulp down his drink.

"Often well, Frea is good, the person is friendly, the delivery is also fun" he replied and then returned to scooping the rice

"There's no feeling?"

"What feeling?"

"You really don't want an offer from Frea's papa, he intends to match you"

"No, Ken doesn't like Frea. Ken has his own choice"

Kennan's words made Danu and Nina look closely at the handsome face of her son.

"Do you have a candidate?" nina asked in surprise.

"Already bun"

"Who?" timpal Danu who was no less surprised.

"Well, bun," he paused his words for a moment, making Danu and Nina throw one another "Ken want Zara?" he hesitated a little.

Danu and Nina are shocked for the second time. But as far as they are, between Kennan and Zara there is really no attitude that shows that they love each other

"Unfortunately Ken to Zara is not just a brother to adek, Ken love the same Zara yah" He looked at Danu who was also fixated on looking at him "Bun, Ken the marriage of Zara" this time he looked at Nina's face.

"Can you?" he asked expectantly, "Dad used to say that Kennan could marry Zara, right?"

"You're serious, love and love are like Zara?" Nina asked in as gentle a tone as possible. "Don't you ever show that you love her?" mother's intention" Nina inhaled a breath before returning to say "Mother, do not you often recognize women to mother?" the last Widia"

"Actually Ken's just messing around?"

"You're playing Ken's woman?" ask Danu as if in disbelief

"Not toying with how well, Ken just tried to divert the mind that always wanted to marry Zara, but it could not"

"Are you serious about what you say?"

Danu gulped down the remaining water slightly in her glass "Did Zara love you too?"

"Taste like that"

"You mean, you only have the instinct that he loves you?"

Kennan nodded

Here Nina only listened to the words spoken from her husband and son, with a glance that briefly looked at Kennan, then turned to look at Danu.

"Zara said that she loves you too?"

This time Kennan shook his head "But Kennan was sure well, that Zara also loved Kennan"

"You're not forcing your will, are you?"

"Not dad"

"Absolutely not?"

"Absolutely not well" Kennan replied by repeating his father's words

"But I'm not sure yet, I'm afraid that Zara doesn't love you"

"So Ken's father married Zara or not?"

"Not if Zara is forced to love you" said Nina, making Kennan turn his eyes to the mother.

"Mother doesn't agree, Ken married Zara?" ask Kennan in full investigation.

"Mother agrees, but if Zara also loves you, if Zaranya does not love you, does not want to marry you, mother will never marry you. It's not good to fight alone Ken" said Nina at length, her last sentence interrupted by Deheman Danu, and Nina scanned her dark net.

"No bund, Kennan was very confident, if Zara also wanted Kennan. We both want to be together"

"Well, bun?" call Kennan when Danu and Nina no longer talk "You agree, right?"

"You really want Zara?"

"Yes yeah"

"Aren't you going to hurt Zara?"

"No"

"You know that Zara's Irma's mami's son, right?" this time Nina asked. Do you know what consequences you'll have to pay if you hurt her?"

"Know bun" Kennan said, "You're going to hate me, right?"

"If you know that, you hold your word"

"So you agree that Ken married Zara?"

"Ask dad?" nina replied before nodding her head, she again stuffed the spoon into her mouth.

While Kennan immediately looked at Danu, hoping that the father would also agree to "Where is it?"

"You know if marriage means we'll spend the rest of our lives with our partner?"

"Know well"

"You also know, right, that Zara's father's favorite son is the same mother?" promise me, don't you have Zara?"

"promise"

"Related?"

Kennan nodded

"Ready to the consequences of motherhood?"

"Ready yah" he replied with relief "Just don't accept if anyone hurts Zara, how can Kennan hurt her well"

"Dad just made sure"

"But I know that Kennan always wanted to protect Zara. Your mom knows that, right?"

"If you're really serious, you're talking nicely to Rio's papi and Irma's mom"

"But the same mother also help you?"
