The Story Of The Twins

Sharing Stories

It's been a week since Ivan and Toni's hospital replaced Mr. Tarman to take care of his garden.  From early morning until noon Ivan was in charge of taking care of the garden while Toni replaced Ivan from school until the afternoon.  They take care of the garden aided by some of Mr. Tarman's men.  So their work is not too heavy just supervise it or work if necessary.

Ivan and Faiz remained busking as usual but the time was no longer too long.

Only noon till afternoon.

As of today Ivan and Faiz had just returned home from busking.

They were sitting on the village border while resting.

"Van, next month we can already list college deh kayaknya" said Faiz while counting the money pennasian in his hands

"is the money enough, Iz,? " ask Ivan again while looking at Faiz

"i've been, I've been there, there's less.  Enough for us to sniff" Faiz explained

"thankfully, I really wanted to go to college" said Ivan looking down at the crossroads across the street

"lo suppose you, I also time" said Faiz again who is still counting the pennies

"hehe, yauda means for a month we are hunching for yakan grip, later there we look for work also for a day" explained Ivan while staring at Faiz

And Faiz just nodded in agreement.

"yes, how much, I'm 20" Faiz said

"juda is the same" replied Ivan.

After sharing, they went home.

Arriving at the house Ivan saw Toni was sitting in his house with Mr. Tarman and also Sari.

"just got home Van? " greet me Mr. Tarman

"yes sir" answered Ivan and sat down next to Toni

"from where aja koe, from noon ora looks" asked Sari ketus as usual

"from Faiz Bu's house" said Ivan

"just run around knowing you, the garden is taken care of, do not play" said Sari melengos staring at Ivan.

"yes ma'am, I entered first" said Ivan and stepped inside the house.

Toni just silently looked at her mother's attitude which was always like that to Ivan.

Toni knows that every day Ivan goes busking with Faiz and his busking money is saved for Ivan's tuition. 

Toni didn't dare say anything to her mother because Ivan also hid this.  He knew because Faiz had told him all about Ivan and Ivan's desire to be silent in the streets.

Deep down he felt amazed by the figure of Ivan even though in reality they are not siblings.

The night is late.  The clock on the wall of Ivan's room showed at 9 p.m.

Ivan was lying down while staring at the sky of his already shabby room.

A message came in.

Ivan who kept the phone in his closet rushed to pick up the phone.

A message came in from Jonathan.

(bang Jo)

"have you slept Van"

(ivans)

"not yet bang, what's up bang ?"

(bang jo)

"can we talk"

(ivans)

"okay bang, just a second.  Let me call later"

Ivan immediately rushed out of the house looking for a comfortable place to talk.

..

Jonathan was holding his cell phone waiting for a call from Ivan.

I don't know why tonight he wanted to talk and talk to Ivan.

Drrrrtt drrrtt

The sound of her cell phone vibrating

He immediately raised it.

Jo: hello Van

Ivan: hi bang, how are you

Jo: I'm fine.  Sorry to interrupt your time

Ivan: no bang, I'm not busy anymore either. Hehe

Jo: when do you go to Jakarta again Van

Ivan: do not know bang, maybe another week, send the harvest to the market. Why bang

Jo: there is none.  Emmh van, do you think life is weird?

Ivan: brother's point

Jo: yes I mean do you also feel what I am feeling, sometimes I am confused why our faces are so similar, while we do not have any relationship

Ivan - Yes, I do, I do too.  Confused until sometimes can not sleep his mind.  Hehe.  But maybe God has a plan behind this bang

Jo: yes, maybe. 

Ivan: but I could know my brother, brother good people, just know my brother has helped me a lot

Jo: it is our duty to help each other

Ivan: hehe is bang.  Our faces are the same, but our fates are different.  Yakan bang

Jo: hmh, yes you're right Van.  Maybe your luck is better than mine Van

Ivan: that's it, you know,

Jo: I see it like that

Ivan: this brother is unfortunate, yes obviously brother is more fortunate.  All that brother wants brother can buy, brother can also go to college.  Much luckier than me bang. 

I can buy a van, but not with freedom

Ivan: hah, I mean brother

Yes, I can buy with money, but not with freedom.  You can see by yourself wherever I go always followed by the bodyguard bodyguard, different from you

Somehow Jonathan who used to be quiet and stingy talk now with Ivan he can reveal all the contents of his heart.

Ivan: yes, why so bang

Jo: I don't know either, my parents said this for my own good.  Since childhood I have always been treated like that

Ivan: means we're upside down bang, I'm indeed free to do whatever I want, but all yes it's hindered with the economy.  What to do first, if not work, do not eat

Yes, sometimes I get bored. Seeing you I'm envious of Van

Ivan: haha, you can.  I feel jealous of my brother.  Everything can be achieved easily

Jo: you don't understand the taste so I'm Van

Ivan : brother also did not know his weight so I bang.

Jo: Maybe I'm less grateful, but I'm just tired of living like this

Ivan: our fate is different bang, I see Brother like that Brother already has a very perfect life, while I just have to fight first.

Jo: I don't know, people think my life is perfect, but I don't feel that way, living under constant surveillance really makes me depressed

Ivan: the core, we should be able to be grateful ya bang

Jo: yes, maybe it should be

They told me until late at night.  Like they've known for a long time there's nothing they cover for each other. Just about Mr. Tarman and Ivan's mother didn't tell Jonathan.

Such is the bond of brother that can not be broken even though it has been separated for a long time.
