Two Ribs

"I'm sorry, sir!"

As Bang Handi suggested, it seems like I should indeed speak to father for one eye.

(Without arowana hammer between us)

My father returned my embrace while kissing my head.

"Father is also wrong, you should talk first with ade. I'm sorry about the deck too".

I held my embrace to my father. I was a little relieved after I spoke to my father.

"Father will never force you to accept another woman of your choice. But at least, be nice. Father and deceased mama never taught to be disrespectful with older ones right?"

"I'm sorry, sir.."

Only that word came out of my mouth again.

Kakan, Kakfi, Kakaf and Bang Handi just kept silent without comment seeing the scene they watched live.

My two sons played with Rei.

Yeah, I finally agreed to Bang Handi's proposal to talk to you and apologize. At the pick of Andi's house for our meeting this time.

Don't ask where Alif is.

His cold war with Brother Andi is still ongoing. I also promised Bang Handi, to then meet Kak Alif and reconcile Kak Alif and Kak Andi.

"Want to go back home?"

I looked at Bang Handi before answering my question. Bang Handi and I talked about this.

"Sorry sir, ade wants to be independent. If you continue with your father, the possibility of conflict will be there again. Let's just stay apart, sir?"

"Father can move if you feel uncomfortable".

I shook my head

"Don't sir. Ade used to be pampered by father and brother, so he became stubborn. Let Ade separate the house, so that ade can learn".

"But the promise to come often".

"Insya Alloh sir, if Kakaf so declare his car for ade"

Kakaf whose name is kusentil laughed a little.

"Said mo is independent. Buy your own car"

I looked at my three older brothers.

"Okey, buy it yourself. Where's money??"

I put my hand on them.

"Please ask Alif. Again tajir tu. Case wins. Promised a car".

I frowned. It doesn't matter what info I hear. But the problem is the bearer of info.

"Well, where are you from?"

I finally asked.

"There's a sister friend who gave me info"

I round my mouth without a sound.

"Kirain, Brother Andi had lunch together while chatting with Brother Alif"

Kakaf said with a laugh and ran towards the kitchen.

Better to avoid Kaf, than in the same headcloth Kak Andi.

"I'm sorry, brother, because Ade Kakan is a cold war just as bad"

I approached Andi's sister and hugged her for a moment.

"Sir Alif always feels right. So let it be. Brother's happy, he didn't call brother again to ask for this".

I'm laughing a little.

"Let's say whatever, Alif's the oldest. You guys should apologize. Wrong or right. You guys should apologize".

My father reminded us again.

"Yes sir, I'll also go to Kakal's house. Ade also felt wrong. Because of Ade, two brothers into a cold war"

Kakaf returned to the middle room where we were sitting gathered.

"Will we talk or eat? Sister Mia has finished cooking. If you still want to talk, continue. But Izal ate ya first"

"Eeehhhh. Here you are"

Brother Andi called Kakaf.

"Ogah, mo run the orders of sister Mia first. Call the kids to eat"

Kakaf walked while whistling towards the front porch where my son was playing.

I smiled in silence.

Yes, I almost lost all this time.

I'm waiting for Brother Alif who is taking a bath.

Brother Fani stroked my arm gently. I replied with a nod while smiling.

I was at Alif's house. I went in first. The other three older brothers were waiting on the terrace. We have made a scenario. I apologized, solved my problem first. Only then the problem of Kak Alif and Kak Andi.

Brother Fani accompanied me in their living room. Shortly after, Kak Alif came out of the room wearing a sarong and a koko shirt.

Brother Alif looked at me with his laser gaze.

"Ade nungguin abah you know from earlier"

Brother Fani thawed the atmosphere between me and Brother Alif.

I stepped closer to Brother Alif and hugged him. Sis alif was silent, did not say a single word and did not hug me back.

"Sorry brother"

I cried again in my arms, Brother Alif.

"Ade is insolent. Ade is not as polite as older ones. Ade's sorry"

I said in a muffled voice crying.

Brother Alif breathed out and let go of my embrace.

Brother Alif looked at me who was still crying sobbing in front of him.

"Let's sit down !"

Brother Alif pulled me towards the chair I was sitting on"

"Your sister-in-law made that drink for you to drink".

I understand the meaning of Brother Alif and drink the water that has been prepared Kak Fani.

"Apologies to you?"

I just nodded.

"Are you aware you're wrong?"

I nodded back.

(rather than a long affair, right?)

"Ade's promise not to do that again?"

Again I nodded.

"Ade has become a wife and mother. Don't be childish anymore. Think of the adult. Positive thinking. Don't always think negatively"

"I'm sorry, brother"

"Forget over. The important thing is that you know the fault of Ade".

I hugged Alif back. This time Brother Alif returned my embrace and kissed my forehead.

"Sister love you. That's why brother scolds you"

"To understand brother"

I removed the liquid coming out of my eyes and nose.

"Ade also apologized, because ade brother and sister became at odds".

(sorry about the second edition)

"Forget too. Fellow brothers have accustomed to disagreements".

"You are outside my brother. Ade call ya first"

Alif nodded and looked at me who came out of the house calling Brother Andi.

Brother Alif stood up when me and Brother Andi had reentered.

"Andi'm sorry brother"

Brother Andi kissed Brother Alif's hand. And Brother Alif immediately hugged Brother Andi.

"I'm sorry too"

Brother Andi and Brother Alif embrace. I immediately embraced them both.

Brother Andi took off his embrace on Brother Alif and suddenly Brother Alif and Brother Andi embraced me. We hugged the three of us with me in the middle.

"The de's sorry"

That's the word I said again.

The two of them kissed me on the cheek and we hugged back.

"Opelukaaaannnn"

Suddenly Kakaf and Kak Fian came and embraced. We hugged the five.

I laughed in their arms. Happy laughter because I'm back in my brother's arms.

"Let's see here"

Brother Fani called us. We also turned to Brother Fani.

"Smileeeeeee"

Brother Fani also captured our moment this time. I smiled happily.
