Alfarel smiled meaningfully as he stroked the top of Xela's head, it seemed like they were at peace again.
“Ya Dafi told you so you know.” Alfarel guessed exactly.
“The right brother Mira is not his girlfriend brother Al?” better Xela asked than to be curious, mumpung them again warm-warm.
“Iya. Now you eat, the food will be cold.” Alfarel not only told him to eat but also to feed him.
“Later tonight we'll be somewhere.” Al said on the side he fed Xela
“Where?” The words of Al provoke Xela to curiosity.
“You will know for yourself later tonight.”
“Yah.” Xela was disappointed not to get an answer.
...****************...
Chesy pounded the herb on using a mortar, while the mother who lay helplessly on the hard bed was made of wood with a thin mattress as the base.
The house is very small, even precisely just a hut measuring 6×6 meters, a hut that only has one room space seems simple.
"Sy, when is Xela coming home? Mama wants to meet." Mother asked Chesy who was pounding the leaves to be used as a traditional herb. For a long time, my mother had an unknown illness due to working too hard.
"Sister Xela will be home soon ma. Chesy told me. Mama rest first yeah don't keep thinking the same brother Xela."
"Mama kept thinking, however Xela left because of Mama. Mama never supported him, somehow his life in the city now. Mama always hoped your sister was okay. Mama also wants to apologize, all this time Mama can only finance it until she graduated Junior High. And you're kind of lucky to have Xela, you've been noticed by Fiona while Xela's been in town, lucky to get a scholarship."
"Yes ma. I'm sure Sister Xela is a strong sister, she's slandered and ugly in the village but she's still strong. Brother Xela we are strong ma, now brother Xela is fighting for success."
In addition, Chesy tried to comfort her mother so that the mother smiled and did not stress to think about her illness.
“Mama eat yes!” Chesy feeds her mother lovingly, she is a submissive sister who is loving. The relationship between Xela and Chesy can be said to be not good because Xela feels Fiona is more affectionate to her youngest sister while she is always underestimated in the process of her struggle.
“Ma Chesy after graduating Junior High will take care of Mama at home aja yes, Chesy wants to garden with here same mama.” Chesy was used to living with her mother since childhood, not expecting her influence until she became a teenager. Chesy is also still very innocent, his association is not free because before he acts everything depends on the permission of the mother.
“As far as Chesy, Mama can't stay alone either. At least if there is you mother is not lonely.” Said Mother.
“But ma, Kak Fi asked Chesy to continue high school and then college, Chesy could not let alone if later college would rarely meet Mama.” Chesy crying in front of her mother reveals a sense of helplessness under the power of her brother.
“Iya Ma, Brother Xela is a great person. I remember when Brother Xela was still Junior High. All day until forgetting to eat just to read a book, so Fiona often scolded brother Xela said that sister Xela's activities are useless, even though reading the book has many benefits. About Xela, so what's Ma?”
Mom smiled for a moment before her soft voice came out.
“Mother imagines Xela becoming a news anchor. When you were pregnant with your sister, you used to watch the news. Mama is very happy to watch the news even if not watch the news, mama always read the newspaper.” Mother gives an opinion that is still her assumption.
“Keep ma if I? Back then when I was in the womb what mama likes to do.” Chesy began to wonder how it used to be when she was in the mother's womb, because she believed a mother's hobby while pregnant with her child will affect when her child grows and develops after neglect.
“First, mom loves to work. Work anything Mom can and now proved, Mom get youngest son who is diligent and happy to work.” Mother stroked Chesy's long hair, the little girl also felt very happy that she often got praise for being diligent.
...****************...
The tall building is very beautiful in view of the city especially if you go inside. Xela in a light blue dress looks very beautiful, Al has chosen the dress.
Xela has trouble stepping on her legs as she is not used to wearing a dress while Al uses after a blue suit as well. Both are very compatible.
“So why should I wear gini rich dress, I am not used to.” Xela moved uncomfortably with a dress that was almost about the length of her heels.
“Customize, for tonight only Xela. Let's go up.” Alfarel asked Xela to hold on to his arm, the girl gaping wide at the height of the glass-walled dominant building.
While riding the elevator, Xela was very afraid that her hands felt cold but Alfarel grasped her.
“I'm afraid brother. This is not the first time to ride the elevator but I am still afraid.” Alfarel did not answer him but quite with the act of embracing Xela.
After arriving on the top floor which turned out to be the 7th floor, Al took Xela out to set their foot in the extreme zone. That said, because the transparent floor made of glass makes visitors can see the 6th floor containing thousands of flowers, what a beautiful scenery but enough to test the guts.
“Kak I'm afraid.” Xela looked down in horror imagining what if she fell down there.
“This place is safe, you focus your eyes forward.” Pinta Alfarel who looks relaxed in stepping, he is used to another case with Xela who is difficult to step even his hand from earlier kept on linking and getting tighter holding Al's arm.
“In addition I am also ashamed brother. See everything here, the girl is beautiful and the guy is handsome.” Xela is insecure when she doesn't know she's very beautiful.
“You are so beautiful Xel, trust yourself. Everyone here looks handsome or beautiful because they celebrate a special day with their partner.” Al then chose one of the tables that were located close to the glass wall that led to the city view.
Xela was shocked when she arrived near a large glass wall, the cityscape, tall buildings and even a road crowded by vehicles were visible from there. His heart did not stop pounding and his hand never broke from Alfarel's arm, indeed he was in a place that tested his guts.
“Good I mean to come here to make it unable to escape from me finally succeed.” Inner Al smiled not thinking of the fear Xela felt.
