Are You My Brother ?
The Courage to Express

The next day, the house felt a bit lonely when the grandfather and grandmother had returned to the village where he lived. But even so there are still fathers, mothers, brothers and Mr. Anto. They can decorate my days that I spend every day.

I don't know why I thought about what my brother said at the time, about someone I admired and loved. I think he has the same feelings as me. But I couldn't express a feeling to him. Love is complicated, how not, 2 different hearts must be united without ever knowing the feelings of each other.

" Woy, daydreaming what's going on ?" My brother's question really surprised me. It just so happened that it was Sunday, the day we had a work holiday.

" It's okay" I answered briefly.

" Sherly yes ?" The question surprised me again.

" What the hell," I answered.

" Are you ?" Goda.

" E.e.e sister, brother forgot about my wishes at that time, do not - do not be afraid," I diverted the conversation.

" What desire ?" Ask confusion.

Slowly he began to remember - remember about the meaning of my words, I do not know if he really - really forget or deliberately pretend to forget. But it turned out that my guess was wrong when I heard the answer from him.

" O.o.o fight yeah, hm... Okay, but there's a condition," he asked.

" There are conditions" I complained.

" Now, if you don't want to" replied my brother.

Strange human being, the impact of fighting it must be painful. Instead he gave conditions about the fight we were going to do. But my determination and desire were already great enough to fight once more with him, I agreed to whatever conditions he would give.

" Okay, okay, what's the condition ?" My toot.

" Gini, if you can beat brother, brother will buy you a meal, whatever food you ask for brother to buy," he said.

" May as well" I said.

" but..... If you lose, you have to express your love to Sherly" he said.

" What kind of conditions are, change the conditions," My love.

" The word agree signifies a covenant between us, and as a true man abstains from reneging on a promise" he said.

" Hm.... What can I do, well, I accept that," I said, although still heavy to accept the conditions he proposed.

We were looking for a quiet place, happened to be father and mother were in the living room while watching TV, while Mr. Anto went to our old house. So that must be the place we were headed to was the back of the house.

" Prepare to lose" challenged my brother.

" Heh, don't be arrogant !" I answered while putting up horses.

Attack after attack we launched each other, several times I was hit, but also hit him. The noise began to sound so echoing, the wind whirring made the atmosphere of the fight even more exciting. The strength of the brother I must admit, how not, throughout the fight he has made me fall several times even though I also managed to drop it. Whatever it is, I can't give up, because it's a challenge I've made. No matter the pain of my body, I kept on defending and attacking. Until the fierce fight had gone on long enough, fatigue rained down on our bodies. We have felt various wounds, until we have reached the limit. A grueling fight that ended with the collapse of my body. I saw that big brother was still standing even with a gasping breath.

" And sure enough, I will never be able to defeat him at any moment" My mind with a body that cannot rise again.

Shortly after, for some reason, suddenly my brother dropped himself on the ground with a breath of gasping.

" Ha ha ha, I won, didn't I ?" He boasted.

" Jeh, it is still the same as before, again - again I have to lose," I said while trying to get up.

" No, you almost knocked me out earlier, you really have gotten a lot stronger" replied my brother with his staggering body he tried to stand up who could finally.

We were both the same - as we were standing on the earth, with a body that felt weak we were surprised by the arrival of the mother who arrived - arrived behind the house.

" Huff..... You're these.... I'm still a big kid" said my mother in a furious tone.

And how ridiculous our response to the anger of the fierce mother. We smiled and laughed even though the pain was still all over my body.

Days passed, until one day the brother reminded me of the covenant. With a very groggy taste, I also accept it. Because I am a real man who does not break promises.

And in the afternoon, when I got home from work, I decided to keep my promise. First I called Sherly and I took her somewhere. It didn't take long, we were both in a place of agreement, a place on the water from which we could see the beauty of a fast-moving river. You could say that place is a bridge between regions.

" Hey Sherly, thank you all this time you were there when I was down" I said.

" Hmm, just relax" Sherly replied casually.

" That's what you are....."

" Why ?" Asked Sherly who heard my words that suddenly stopped.

" What are you..... Want to be in every moment of my life ?" My welcome.

" I mean ?" Ask.

" I love you Sherly, you are something precious in my life" I replied embarrassedly, bowing my head.

" sat..... I wanna....." Sherly said without hesitation with a smile.

" I'm sorry, but I never knew love, so I'm sorry that I couldn't be romantic" I said with a big smile until my teeth appeared.

" Love doesn't have to be romantic, the important thing is that she is there and is always faithful, that's enough for me" Sherly replied.

My face sparkled - a twinkle hearing every answer from him. That is where the love story of 2 human children who have tasted the bitter sweetness of life begins. And the bridge deserves to be called the bridge of love, because he has witnessed the beginning of the love story of 2 human children.

" Cut - cut - cut, it seems like this is enough to be a memory," The voice of someone from behind who arrived surprised us.

We turned around to determine who was behind the sound. I didn't think he was my brother, we were completely unaware of his presence. How not, during the conversation we just looked at the river below.

" Sister....." Shocked words.

" Good job, Candra," he said, looking at his smartphone. Looks like he was playing a tape when I declared love to Sherly.

" Sister is filming us huh ? remove Sister," I said as I chased her.

But when I ran, he ran too. His steps were even faster than mine. I gave up, couldn't catch up with him and finally returned to Sherly's place.

" I'm like a little boy" greeted Sherly with a smile.

" Yes, that's how it is" I replied a little embarrassed.

" I'm confused, you know people are here" I said.

" Yes, maybe he's following you" she replied.

" Yes, maybe," I said.

Although there was a slight disturbance, but that day was the day that the love story began. And that place, is the place where all the memories will be engraved. A bridge I call the bridge of love. Candra and Sherly, 2 people who never had feelings of love for each other. But now the feeling grew by itself in both.
