The Stupid Shaft

LOVE IS COMPLICATED

Dito and Dania's footsteps were unpretentious in the corridor of the apartment that looked quiet. Dito's noisy steps at least interfere with Dania's hearing.

"Sister! This is not a battlefield. Why walk like that?" sumpul Dania, annoyed with the loud voice produced from Dito's shoes.

"I didn't walk like this on the battlefield, Dania! I could have been directly shot by the enemy." said Dito flat. "I'm just worried about my brother." she said later.

Dania who began to grow up, gradually understood every thing that was said by her two brothers even though it was always full of puzzles. He stopped his steps to think before holding back Dito's steps as well.

"What's wrong?" dito asked, as he felt his hand being pulled by Dania.

"Sister, what's going on? Did Deta have to sacrifice again?" Dania's eyes narrowed even more as she squinted her eyes.

Dito exhaled his breath violently. "We'll see!"

The wind blew pretty hard that night. The lights of the city add to the beautiful scenery that is under the expanse of wet eyes caused by tears.

Deta wiped away her tears before cradling her tiny body that had been shrinking for several years.

"I'm getting thinner" she said as she massaged her hands as she used to.

"Sister!!!" Dania's voice was heard from inside the apartment.

Deta who was enjoying the wind on the balcony immediately shouted to call her sister. "Big brother here, Dania!"

Shortly after, Dania came out and joined Deta who was staring at the glitter of the city below.

"Sister? Why are you sitting out here all night?" dania asked, her hand touching Deta's shoulder moving up and down.

Without even looking back or making sure, Dania already knew that Deta was holding back her tears, as usual.

"Sister remember no, papa always said that Dania is prettier than Big Brother? At that time, Big Brother only smiled because he knew it was all a lie to make Dania happy." Dania sighed. "Now, Dania wants to do the same. Dania wanted to say that Big Brother is very ugly when he is draining tears like that!"

Deta turned to her sister. "Draining?"

"Yes!" Dania nodded confidently. "Sister will cry alone and let out all the tears that Big Brother has endured all this time. What's the name if it's not draining?" ask Dania later.

"You are this." Deta forced her smile then stroked Dania's long, black hair.

"Sister? Dania was a child and didn't understand anything, but she had eyes and ears. Dania could see the sadness of Brother and Dania could also hear Brother's sigh." Dania grabbed the hand of Deta who was stroking her hair. "During this time, Brother has always protected Dania. Let Dania help reduce Brother's burden!"

The maturity of Dania too quickly makes Deta feel guilty. Supposedly, girls of Dania's age were still playing without having to think about adult matters like this.

"No, Honey! I miss this city too much. Too many memories that Brother left behind here." lirih Deta, his gaze glared to another place.

"Memories of the prince?" chirp Dania, who instantly made Deta's eye bead focused on her.

"You remember?"

Meanwhile, inside the workroom Angga tension has just occurred because Angga suddenly provoked Dito's emotions.

"Don't be rude to my brother!" dito shouted, he knew the room was soundproof so he did not have to worry about anyone hearing it.

"Sit down!" Angga pointed to the chair that Dito had just left. "Pacify yourself, Dito!" pinta Angga again.

"I won't be able to calm down, if someone tries to hurt my brother!" Dito's sharp gaze and killing aura increasingly filled the room.

Dito and Dania enter Angga's apartment. The atmosphere of the apartment that was quiet and as if uninhabited made the two choose to split up.

Dito walked into a room and saw Dhirgam had just walked out of it.

"Good night, Mister!" greet Dhirgam when dealing with Dito.

Dito nodded to answer Dhirgam's greeting. "Where is Angga's brother?"

"Master is in his study. Do you need me to drop off?" answer Dhirgam politely.

"No, thank you. I'll see him alone." Dito was about to open the door, but he remembered something. "Where are Rayyan and sister Deta?" tanyanya.

Dhirgam raised his gaze. "The lady is on the balcony, sir, and the young master is already asleep in her room."

"Alright, you can go." said Dito at the side with his hand that moved the door handle.

As soon as the door opened, Dito saw Angga who was contacting someone. Without making a sound, Dito approached Angga and sat down before the man.

"What's wrong?" dito asked, as soon as Angga finished his call.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Have I interrupted your time, sister-in-law?" Angga replied to Dito's question with a question.

"To the points**t only, Brother! What do you want?" ketus Dito, his cold attitude returns every time he is faced with people he does not like.

Angga smiled cynically. "You are intelligent and understand the situation. I want you to be Deta's guardian in the remarriage we're going to have in this town."

"WHAT!!! Whatchu mean? Does Deta know about this plan of yours?" dito asked impatiently.

"No! Deta didn't know, because I wanted to make a surprise for him." Angga replied, he still looked calm even though Dito was ready to beat him up.

"My brother doesn't know and you want me to be his guardian? What are you really planning?" Dito had already cast his sharp gaze at Angga.

"none. I just wanted to formalize my marriage with Deta so that others would know how we were doing." Angga explained with a smile on his lips.

'This can't happen! I just gave way to brother Ricky. What if the two of them still want to be together? I don't want to destroy the love of Deta and Ricky's sister with my own hands.

"I'm sure that's not the reason. Tell me what your real reason is!" sergeant Dito, he began to be caught off guard against the possessive and arrogant attitude of Angga towards Deta.

"You are amazing! Alright, since you already know then I will tell you the truth," Angga took a deep breath. "I don't want Ricky to take your brother away from me" she explained.

Flashback...

"I didn't mean to hurt your brother, Dito! I'm just trying to save him from destruction." Angga argued, not wanting to swallow Dito's accusation.

"What destruction? You know if my brother still loves Ricky, right? But why do you keep tying him up and using Rayyan as a tool to hold down Deta?" Anger is getting over Dito.

"You won't understand because you've never been in love, Dito."
