The Twins Pursue Love

Go home

Life in the pesantren goes on. Bara, Banyu and Darel become best friends. There is no more suspicion and competition of love, only brotherhood.

That day, even a year the twins studied in the pesantren. One afternoon, as Bara and Darel were relaxing in one of the pesantrens, Banyu came in a hurry.

"Ra, we have to go home!" banyu said firmly.

Bara furrowed his brows, "What's up? So sudden?"

"I had to meet Ustadz Huda. He conveyed the message that papa asked us to come home this holiday. And Ustadz Huda has given us permission, we can go home early. We have completed the lesson."

"But why?" Still in his confusion.

"Is something going on in your family?" ask Darel.

"We go home first. Invite the princess as well." replied Banyu. He accidentally mentions Aurora to the princess so that Darel does not know that Aurora is their sister.

"Master princess?!" ask Darel.

"Our sister." replied Bara short.

"Oh."

Bara stood up from his seat as well as Darel. The three of them left the saung towards the room.

"Are you guys gonna be long?"darel asked to see Bara and Banyu packing.

"Don't know yet. If you ask us to come home, something will be important." replied Banyu.

"Then, I'll go home, too. Without you, the atmosphere would be unpleasant. It's just that I'm coming home waiting for the holidays to come" Darel said.

Finished packing, Bara and Banyu say goodbye to Darel.

"You're fine here. Don't get hooked by Bimo and his friends. Later we can meet when you come home" said Bara while hugging Darel.

"Don't worry." Darel hugged Bara.

"We go first." Pamit Banyu also hugged Darel.

"Yes!" reply Darel. "I'm not driving you guys, I have something to do."

"Yes. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Getishalight."

Bara and Banyu step out of the boys' dormitory towards Ustadz Huda's house. There was a driver waiting for them.

"The antum is ready?" ask Ustadz Huda.

"Na'am, Ustadz." Bara and Banyu answered.

"good. Just waiting for your sister."

"Afwan Ustadz's. Did papa we tell ustadz, why do we have to go home? Even Ustadz let us go home early." Bara ventured to ask.

"Not much. Your papa just says something important is going on at home and needs you to be there. That's it." replied Ustadz Huda.

Bara nodded. Inwardly he knew that it was useless to dig up information from Ustadz Huda because if Ustadz Huda promised to keep their real problems a secret, then he would never renege on his promise.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Aurora came and said hello.

"Waalaikumsalam" answered those in Ustadz Huda's house.

"Well, Aurora's here. It's best to hurry up to a bright day" said Ustadz Huda.

"Good, Ustadz. Excuse me."

Finally the Sky brothers left the pesantren that day.

In his room, Darel lay staring at the tiny shoes he was holding. His lips glanced at the smile.

"I'll give this back to you when the time comes and I deserve you. Whoever you are, I'll come to you. And I hope, we are fools." murmured Darel. He put the shoes back in a special bag.

Elsewhere, the twins who were on a trip teased their sister.

"Sik, those yellow shoes you bought, why not wear them?Don't you like her a lot?"ask Bara.

Aurora was stifled at her brother's question. He didn't think his brother would question his shoes.

"There is" he answered short.

"Why not wear it?" now Banyu asked.

Aurora turned her face and looked at Banyu. He thought why Banyu who is usually silent and cold also asked the problem of shoes that are not important.

"You guys why the hell? Tumben is a shoe problem. It doesn't matter." Aurora said then pouted.

"Do you think the shoes are missing? Missing next door maybe." added Banyu.

Aurora's face paled, how could her brother guess correctly that the shoe was missing next door.

"That's it." she answered softly.

"That's what?" bara.

"Yes.that's. The shoes were missing next door." said Aurora still in a soft voice.

"Well. How could you just lose your favorite shoes or not give them to someone as a memento?" ask Bara. Banyu smelled a smile hearing it.

Aorora was startled and spontaneously said, "It is impossible that my sister, I gave her the shoes, she won't give them back."

Oops. Aurora immediately closed her mouth due to the shock.

Bara and Banyu chuckled at the innocence of his sister.

Aurora looked in annoyance at her two laughing brothers.

"You!!!" his yell.

"So really your shoes are on someone?"

"Tau ah's. Lazy talk to you guys." Aurora pout. He changed his sitting position by leaning back and closed his eyes.

Bara and Banyu laughed again.

"If Jaka Tarub takes the scarf of an angel, pity this young man, get shoes. Smell again." said Bara followed by laughter Banyu.

Aurora covered her ears with her hands. He became even more upset with his two twin brothers.

"Durhaka brother. Nyebelin." she cried.

But his screams had no effect.

"Please, later he will also return it as your wedding gift" said Banyu to Aurora's ear.

"Bodos. Y'all bawl." Aurora's back screaming. Bara and Banyu laughed. The driver smiled too.

The long journey is not felt because they enjoy it with a jest until they fall asleep exhausted.

"Young Master, we've arrived" said the driver slowly while shaking Bara's body.

"Oh, yes sir." Bara awake. It then awakens Banyu and Aurora.

They got out of the car and stepped into the mansion.

"Assalamu'alaikum." they gave their greetings.

"Getishalight."

Anggi and Sky came out and hugged their three children.

"Pa, what's wrong?" ask Bara who is impatient to know what the problem is until they have to go home.

"You guys sit down first. Papa will tell."

They sat in the living room. The sky began to tell the reason why they were asked to go home. They must help strengthen their older sister, Pink, who is experiencing a disaster (there is in the novel For Your Sakes I Will Married Her)

"Poor Brother Bayu." murmured Aurora.

"Remember, don't mention Bayu's name in front of Pink's sister." Sky firmly.

The three of them nodded.

"Then you rest. Tomorrow you'll meet your brother. It's already night. He also rests." Heaven commanded.

They went to their rooms to rest.

In his room, Bara could not close his eyes. His mind drifted to Yasmine. A little bit he could feel what Pink felt, away from loved ones.

"I'm the only one who hasn't known Yasmine for a long time, it feels like this. Especially Pink who must be away from her husband. Plus her husband is facing danger. Must be heavy for Pink's sister." murmured Bara. He pondered for a long time until finally his eyes closed and entered the dreamland.
