The Secret of the Heart (Loving My Brother)

Chapter 7

"Sometimes honesty will change a situation"

Sitting at the desk, Zara stared at the clock in her hand, trying to guess what Kennan and Widia were doing in her room.

"Has Ken ended his relationship with Widia?, or did Ken continue until the time they set?"

Upon their return from Jakarta, they stopped by the office to submit files containing cooperation agreements with clients to the board of directors.

After his talk earlier that afternoon in the car, and after coming from Yun bi's house, Zara's mind was piqued by Ken's attitude. He seemed to have forgotten the promise he made himself. Ken was flat on Zara, in front of Widia. Apparently, Zara thought Ken was saying that so she stopped silencing him.

I don't know what they're talking about in there, it feels like Zara is eager to break through that door and eavesdrop on their conversation.

Sighing deeply, the woman refocused on the rest of the work that had to be reported tomorrow morning.

Almost half an hour Widia in Ken's room, her brain again thinks no-no. But a few seconds later the movement of the door made Zara turn her face..

Without a word, Kennan and Widia walked past his desk.

The focus, now between the man, and his work.

A few minutes passed, Kennan returned with a different attitude.

"Dek, now you're ready, papi is still in his room, he said later to stop by here, your work is advanced mas"

"My backpack is"

"Udah let mas take home, tomorrow ask washing to mother, mas still a lot of work"

"Let me wash my own clothes, do ngerepotin mother"

"Mas busy" he said while helping him pack some files on his desk "so his suitcase goes directly into the trunk, can not take now deck"

"Will you be overtime until what time?"

Zara saw Ken glancing at the watch in his hand "once this is done, the mas will go straight home"

"It's not the answer I want" said Zara a little flat "Overtime until what time?" he asked again, the man smiled, a smile that some days was not seen by Zara.

"Jam 10" he replied "You go home with papi yes, tomorrow you don't have to leave"

"Why?"

"Forgot that tomorrow is Saturday?"

"But tomorrow is my half-day schedule" Zara protested

"But don't go. Say the same mami tomorrow night mas eat there same father mother, tell mami cook lotin, do not forget you help mami cook"

"What's going to be overtime with Widia's mom?" ask her with courage she never expected

Kennan's forehead puckered "Why?"

"Why" Zara suddenly became nervous. For some reason, he did not like if Kennan with Widia.

"Sir, is it finished?" papi Rio asked suddenly, making the two people compactly scan his gaze. Fortunately there was papi, otherwise the chatter about Widia would definitely continue.

"It's pi"

"Ken, papi go home first yes, you've been waiting for the father above"

"Yes pi" Mas Ken kissed the back of papi's hand. "Be careful pi"

"Yes, you are also careful" said papi "Love we go home" he asked his daughter

When he was about to step in the footsteps of papi, Ken secretly pulled Zara's hand "Mas does not overtime with Widia" whispered his heart increasingly relieved.

*********

The next day, two families intend to have dinner together. This has been their habit for a long time. Sometimes Rio's family comes to Danu's father's house, and sometimes Danu's father comes to Rio's papi's house

After returning from the minimarket, Zara saw a car that was very familiar to her parked in the yard.

"Mas Ken is here" he murmured

"Where's the deck from?" tanyanya turned her gaze for a moment at Zara

Zara showed me a plastic bag containing food that she would cook for dinner together.

"Home home" asked Mami as she put a glass of drinks on the table "what did you buy son?"

"Many mih, on the bike is still there" Zara turned to Bima who looked serious with her phone. He is his youngest brother, because his daily life is in the pesantren, making him rarely interact. "Dek, help me shoot the stuff on the bike" Without answering, he immediately did what he said.

"This is mami akinin take it"

"No need" Zara said, "Mami's got a tray"

While in the kitchen, Zara arranged the groceries into the refrigerator, some of the goods he put on the table.

"Sir, please bring this forward to papi mas kennan and also Bima"

Some klapetart neatly arranged on a tray. The snack that Zara made this morning after breakfast.

Zara and Mami join the three men.

"Kanes hasn't come home yet?" ask Zara while enjoying the sweetness of klapetart

"Not yet"

"Assalamu'alaikum"

"Waalaikumsalam" answers throughout the house almost simultaneously

Kanes, kissed one by one the hands of his parents and brother

"Mas Ken's here?" kanes asked as it was his turn to kiss the back of his hand.

"Yes"

"Remove, how's the progress, launch it?" asked Kanes enthusiastically, and immediately sat down next to Bima.

Kennan had time to scan the face of Kanes who was also glancing at him.

"Progres what deck?" Zara really does not understand the purpose of the progress asked by Kanes.

"ihh the Shoot, the progress that we discussed last night with Bima"

Now it was Kennan's turn to look at Bima, then turn to Zara's face, while Zara opened her mouth to form the letter O.

"Take it up first yes" Pamit Zara, he deliberately avoided because he did not want to discuss it in front of Kennan

"Pi, if the ta'aruf goes well, papi agrees that his marriage is shot at speed" Pancing Kanes deliberately asked his papi in a loud voice.

Here the concentration of Kennan suddenly collapsed.

"Ta'aruf?" Kennan looked at Kanes with a gaze as if expecting an explanation.

"Why did Ken suddenly turn pale, did he not like to shoot ta'aruf, did Ken also love mba Zara?" Kanes shook his head, with the corners of his lips slightly raised "haist the glare of his eyes really cannot be guessed"

"Ta'aruf with whom deck?" said again. The 27-year-old man was very much waiting for an answer from Kanes.

"Secret dong" he answered and stood up and walked towards the room. "Mi, I go up first yes, want to change clothes" he continued who was nodding his head by Irma.

Kanes did deliberately make Kennan curious, he wanted to see how his reaction when he knew Zara was in the process of ta'aruf.

Kennan, still staring at Kanes' back, as Kanes looked back, their gaze met, making Kennan misbehave.

"Ken's attitude is suddenly strange, why is it?" lirih Kanes while climbing the stairs. "I'll ask Ayu, whether the evil mas has me, already have a girlfriend or not"
