TG 3: Tension between Brothers

Al who paid attention to everything despite silence took the phone from the shelter. Then type the first two letters of the ouija board game results on their whatsapp gang chat group chat page that greeted the sound of the incoming message notification ringing. Ar again confirmed his sitting position, then examined the flat object lying on the right side where he was sitting.

So did Ans, but not Ale because she seemed focused in the other direction. The gaze of the eyes straight forward passed behind the seat Ar who was in front of him. A golden glint of light seemed to fly outside the window as the open curtains showed the outdoor atmosphere.

"You guys, look there!" The girl's hand was raised upwards. Instantly distracting all his brothers. "I want the animal, please."

The eyes filled with hope, making Al sigh slowly. Twelve o'clock in the evening was right but Ale revealed a request that was quite difficult to grant. It's been a very late night and if their parents knew. Could have received a simultaneous punishment.

But the glow of fireflies never leaves a sense of disappointment. "Ale, we can ask the guard tomorrow, but it's time for bed. Don't argue! Remember, this body needs rest. Ans, Ar, we can continue the game tomorrow. Come, sleep!"

Al is always calm. He never tried to be the most dominant brother just when he saw something wrong. He is responsible for reminding and making decisions. If about his age of course he is still a year younger than Ar, even so he is the first son of the first brother of the Wellington family.

"See!" Ar cleared the ouija board game, while Ans took the initiative to photograph fireflies without being asked.

Some flash shots from the camera managed to surprise the beautiful fireflies to fly away from the front window. Ale's sad face was slightly treated thanks to the results of the shooting of the brother. The four brothers chose to return to their respective places.

Where Ale slept on the bed alone. While others rest on a fur carpet. At least thick enough let alone use a fragrant soft blanket. The silence of the night looms. An endless stream of clouds curled up the horizon.

Silence that delivers tranquility welcomes the dream world. The innocent face with the eyes closed the children ended their debate. But the atmosphere downstairs is getting tense. Where parents are gathering to discuss important matters.

Face sharp, lips still locked, eyebrows raised while clenching both hands. Sighs deeply for the umpteenth time. Honey, a thousand dear did not change his judgment on the thought of the third brother. Is family not important to tell from the beginning?

"Ka Delano, I'm sorry but really I didn't mean to surprise you all. Actually I believe in myself being able to solve the business problem this time," Mr. Caldwell walked up to the elder brother. He knew that his brother was trying to hold back the anger that was buried in his heart.

Mrs Geraldo looked at her husband who was visibly upset and sad. How not? The Wellington family put forward honesty and mutual support but suddenly Mr. Delano received a threat from a foreign number. Surprisingly the call dragged the name of Mr. Caldwell, the third brother who was always the vice chairman at the company.

One call became the start of an impromptu trial until the family was shocked by Mr. Caldwell's statement. Where their family business is experiencing inflammation that requires additional funds to stabilize the existing state. Not only that because the man also said the reason for choosing the island of Java as a holiday destination this time.

A Mr. Caldwell hopes to meet some clients who have a powerful way to solve all his business problems. The man forgot about his three brothers. Although in the company of the CEO is Mr. Delano, still the brother has another job as a doctor in a famous hospital and even became the leader of the board of directors.

Just like the profession of Mr. Barack who is also a doctor, but his position is still under the first brother. So that every man in the Wellington family shares the task of the family company that is the legacy of their parents remains managed and can continue to grow rapidly.

Is busyness the reason Mr Caldwell hides the company problem alone? It could be, then the situation this time was not just the fault of one person. Unless everyone has the same share. What then? Of course, it must be solved together without blaming each other.

Mrs Delano held out a glass of water as she rubbed her husband's shoulder, "Honey, calm down. If you are hard-hearted. Who will they listen to? My sister needs her brother. Remember that you are there to protect each other."

"Thank you, my wife." Mr. Delano received a drink from his wife. Without wanting to reduce the annoyance in the heart, he sipped water that alleviated his thirst. Then he sighed again slowly but this time his feelings began to improve.

He looked down at the face of the brother who was standing before him. The guilt is clearly visible. He did not intend to intimidate just that his sister's actions had crossed the line. Especially at this time, they also bring children. If the holidays turn into business. How will their child feel?

"I want all the details of our company's problems and yes, make sure there's nothing you cover up anymore. Aldo, Bar, you two check who dares threaten our family. And for the ladies go rest!" breaking up Mr. Delano did not want to be contested, making everyone disperse without an excuse.

The man got up from his seat and walked out of the living room. The tightness in his heart made him feel unsettled. For some reason there is a fear of being so deep in anxiety. Suddenly he remembered the threatening speech. Strange, but the feeling was really bad.

Drawn a maroon red curtain to the right side that greeted the dark scenery out there. The front yard of the villa looks silent, silent without any sign of life even the speck of rain further adds to the calming impression. A rare sight that should be grateful for, but the heart cannot lie.

"I why the hell? The kids are happy with a vacation together. Delano, come on! Don't think weird because it's not good. Get rid of all the overthinking in your head and heart!" mister Delano muttered to himself.

A person's calmness is not measured by how big a problem is being faced. But how to stay sane in the midst of the storm of life. Well, sane. One word that is clear enough to make everyone aware to stand on their own feet.

A cold breeze barged in greeting the residents of the villa. Those who are asleep or awake feel an intangible soft touch. Time passed changing the birds out there. A ray of sunshine greeted a world full of real life.

"Eeuughh," a voice of spoiled whimpering softly sounded as he spread out both hands poking out from under the blanket. The cold really made him sleep well.

The lentic hairy eyelids slowly opened. The blanket's white color starts to drop off, "Morning, everything. What time is it?" His eyes scoured the wall hoping to find a clock that could be the answer.

From the wall in front of him there is only a painting display, then switch to the right side where it is parallel to the room door. There is no wall clock, precisely the display of arrows and bows appear to beautify the wall of the left side of the entrance. The drifting thoughts began to regroup making him look for a flat object on the bed.

"Huft, finally met." A smile of triumph adorned his face.

Intentions want to see what time, but suddenly his eyes blink trying to digest what happened. Notification of incoming messages in the chat group caught his attention. The heart rippled to stop his curiosity. He jumped from the bed. Then woke up all the brothers without a second thought.

Shocked was not playing with Ale's slow punch landing on his shoulder. Ar immediately put on an annoyed face, while Ans was still waiting for his soul to regroup. While Ans did not bother, he chose to wash his face in the sink so that he could listen to the last brother jutek.

The four brothers sat together like last night but this time it was not the ouija board that was the center of attention. Except the flat object with the same brand but different colors only. Did Ale wake them up just to observe each other's phones? If yes, then certainly less work.

"...,"

Ale raised his hand so as to stop Ar who was ready to complain over his actions. "I'll show you something." He took a flat object with a blue sky casing which is certainly his own phone.

One press of the button, then slide the screen icon until it can access any application. But Ale only showed through a notification that appeared three messages entered their chat group. "Is there the same message on your phone? As I accept."

One question that made the three boys immediately grabbed their respective phones. Then come check, even Al did not hesitate to open their group chat page. Three messages were quite strange. Where he sees messages from Ans, Ale and Ar. As he knew, last night all went to sleep and no one woke up until the morning.

Ans tried to remember what he sent the message. Unfortunately, he was sure not to hold the phone after lying down relax the mind in order to sleep soundly. So also with Ar trying so hard to get an answer from his curiosity.

Seeing his three brothers silent without a word. He chose to open a chat. He saw five letters written from them. "Lake." Ale arranged the five letters into one foreign word in his ears and knowledge.

What is danur?
