Are You My Brother ?
A Confession

Long vacation ended, now is the time for me to be at the highest level in school, namely the High School level. Surely I also went to school at my sister's former high school. I never knew what life path I would go through again. What is pleasing or even sad and full of suffering. But for sure, I no longer want to feel the name of suffering, I really can not deal with it.

" Hey, for the money," Palak is a big guy who surprised me. He seems to be my schoolmate at the new school.

I just stared at him, looking at him with hatred. I always feel like that. At every school there are people who don't like me. Is it because with a body that is not too big they just want to oppress me. I want emotions, I want to be angry, but I've felt something called solitude. I'm afraid if I fight with him, I don't have any friends, anymore. All I think about is friends, friends and friends.

" Woy, even diem. As for money, a spit !" The forced.

" Just because you're strong doesn't mean you can bully the weak. The strong man should protect not hurt" I replied casually as I walked away from him.

No matter the enemy behind me, I kept walking away from him. Finally a scream came from behind me. It was definitely from the person who was cutting me.

" How dare you insult me" he shouted as he ran towards me with his fist.

But I quickly caught that punch. Had I not been used to dealing with such an attack from my brother, it would have been certain that such a hard blow would have hit my face. It seems that I should thank the person who has taught me about martial techniques, which is my brother.

" Go away, never bother me again" said I, releasing his great hand from the grip of my hand.

Even though he's gone too far, I still can't repay him. I just continued my footsteps to walk, leaving him speechless. I don't know what he was thinking, his face seemed to show an unpleasant aura. A bashful aura, perhaps that was what made him speechless. Until someone came to him. Faintly from a distance, I heard their conversation. One of them seems to be familiar to me, namely Indra, my Junior High School friend who had once fought with me. I stopped my steps and pretended to fix the shoelaces just to hear the talk of 2 people. Though my distance with them is quite far, but their voices are heard so clearly.

" Fuck that guy, he's really embarrassing me" he said, possibly pointing at me.

" You mean Candra ? Is there a problem are you the same as him ?" Ask Indra.

" You know him ?" Ask back.

" My Junior High friend. What's the same problem with him ?" Ask again.

" Ordinary, you know for yourself that I like the malak, the old man I saw, but he did not want to and left. Because my emotions hit him from behind, and you know what happened ? He easily caught my punch," he said at length.

" Ha ha ha ha Edo Edo, you have misjudged him. Although he is not as big as us, but his strength far exceeds us. I lost to him, and it was pure defeat. I admit that, and one more thing. Never make him angry," said Indra advising his friend who turned out to be named Edo.

" Do, you realize. You lost to me and I lost to him. That means you will lose to him. I'm saranin, you're sorry it's the same !" Indra.

At that moment, the Edo was silent. I'm scared or I don't know. But they didn't realize that I had heard all their talk. I felt a little calm afterwards, because maybe he would realize his mistake.

That was the first day of school. Definitely in a new school for my class. No lessons, just introductions. Because that school was my sister's school, many teachers already knew my name. Even my upperclassmen know my name. Naturally, who does not know my brother, the genius who is very talented in everything. And with his fame, of course his family will also be known.

A break bell rang, and I was out of class with my new friend, Virgo. He's nice, but a little geeky. The man with glasses was the man with the highest score in his school in the national exam. Although many looked down on him because of his girth, but I was inspired by him instead. I want to learn a lot from him. Until later, in terms of intelligence I can beat my brother. And not only that, I feel like that Virgo person understands more about the value of friendship than anything else. I don't know, maybe that's just my feeling.

Virgo is a diligent child, a break he only uses to read books in the library. Unlike me, I am most lazy if my break time is used by reading books. I chose to hang out in the school garden while eating some snacks I bought from the cafeteria.

" Silver....." Call someone like I've seen. Yeah, he's Edo, the one who picked me up this morning.

I just looked at him, astonished - astonished by his familiarity. Just this morning it felt like he and I were fighting.

" I'm sorry, Ndra" he said, sitting next to me.

" What do you do ?" My toot.

" Make it this morning" he answered.

" I know, you're sorry that you've heard Indra's story. Then what if you did something like that this morning to someone other than me. Are you gonna apologize to that guy ?" I asked who responded in silence.

" Edo, no matter how strong you are and how big your body is. One day you will definitely need help from others, so never hurt others" my advice.

" Yes Ndra, I.... I realize I was wrong. I won't repeat the same mistake again" he said.

" Here you go, relax" I said, patting her on the shoulder.

Turns out to be true, the best thing to settle an enmity is to make him a friend. Although not everyone can do that. Because many consider hostility to be like killing or being killed. If the assumption continues - there continues to be hostility will become something eternal.
