Biological Brother Love Story
Should Have Accepted Destiny

Ara looked very emotional to Bhishma, after hearing such a remark.

Bisma looked at her confusedly, ‘I feel, I already said things beyond the reasonable limits. It hurt a lot when he said that. Perhaps he had thought that I was an ungodly child who wanted the death of his own biological father, and also one who did not respect others. I felt like I let Ara down. Plus, I've gotten her mother involved in every word of mine, the Inner’ of Bhishma, who is really very confused by feeling worried about Ara's feelings for her.

“Mang Ujang ..”

“Ujang ..”

“Ujang!” Ara shouted so loudly, that all the servants in this house, came towards her.

“Please help lift, Mister!” tell Ara as much as possible to help her father.

Bhishma only fell silent, while looking at those who were struggling to carry father. ‘I feel like I've failed. I'm so suck!’ inner Bhishma, truly deeply cursed herself before Ara and the others.

Bhishma left Ara, and the others quickly. He was already upset, either because of what he said to Ara earlier, or because of Ara's words to him.

‘I don't understand this feeling. The desire to have a longer one deepens, making me afraid of losing her. It's like a curse to me. I used to hate my father's treatment, and also hated the cheap women who had taken the father away from my mother, and now even slowly put feelings on the children of their affair. Am I too stupid to do that? I just knew him yesterday. But, he was already able to change my point of view towards her. Moreover, when he said to always accept the existing destiny. If my father hadn't made such a mistake, I wouldn't have met him now. I thought back and digested the words he said. Turns out, there is a point too,’ Inner Bhishma, while stepping out and somewhere the goal is stepping.

Bhishma walked every road before him, not knowing where he was going. Along the way, he always thought about what Ara just said.

Bisma stopped the speed of his motorbike, then approached the street vendor to buy cigars and drinks. He reached into his jacket pocket to pick up a gas match. But the match disappeared. How could the match disappear on its own?

“Mas, matches are also all yes,” said Bisma to the trader. He nodded in understanding with the words of Bhishma. She received a cigar, a match, and a drink from the merchant.

She sat down at the edge of the garden not far from her house. He burned the cigar, and began to suck it. His feelings were relieved, his mind was back to normal. He began to think, which he should have thought.

‘I could have accepted all the destiny he meant, but what about my mother? His condition is not as strong as before. But in retrospect .. mother is the legal wife. What about Ara's mother? For years ...it's possible that he didn't get anything from dad. Different from me and my mom. We have always lived with treasure. Should ... mother can accept this reality, if explained slowly,’ Inner Bhishma, who can slowly accept all this reality, slowly.

Bisma sighed longly, “What should I do?” he was confused, then sucked back the cigar that was almost burned.

‘Already, I must try to accept destiny, just as Ara said,’ Inner Bhishma, who feels compelled to accept immediately whatever is already her destiny.

Bisma rounded her gaze, “Sampe forgot! I promised to make Ara kakiage. All stop by ah. buy kakiage, same other food for Ara. He had not eaten before,” said Bisma, while allowing the jacket he was wearing, then immediately climbed his iron horse to return to his residence.

Ara watched the clock slowly move. It only took a few seconds to make it to his 18th birthday. Ara immediately turned off the room lights, and only the sleeping lights remained. He sat back on his bed and lit the gas match that Ara had secretly taken from the pocket of Bhishma this morning, on his way to school.

Ccrc ....

Ara lit the match, then stared at the long needle that almost reached the number 12. Just a few seconds before his birthday arrives.

“Lima ...”

“Three ...”

“Two ...”

“One ...”

“Tengg ...”

The wall clock is also ticking. Hurriedly Ara made her request while closing her eyes.

‘I just want someone who can take care of me until I close my eyes. Spreading the blanket of fog, which had been enveloping my life. Thank you for the time you've given me, Lord.’

Phew ....

Ara slowly blew away the flames that emerged from the match. Now, the situation around became pitch black. There is only light from the sleeping lights. Suddenly just ... Ara remembered with Bhishma.

‘I so want to make my one wish for Bisma,’ Inner Ara.

‘The guesthouse ..the only person I had after my mother left. Please take care of him, God. I want him to accept his destiny, just as I accept my destiny like this. And for papa, I hope ..he can justly give his affection to Bhishma, and will correct the mistake he made. I hope there are no more problems between them. I just need time to accept my dad in my life. Because I grew up without a father. I was confused as to what to behave when faced with him. I hope, everything will be fine in time.’ Ara had finished making hope, and reopened her eyes.

“Happy birthday, Ara ...,” shriveled to yourself.

Ara was completely powerless to hold back her cries. It was her first birthday without her mother at her side.

‘Hopefully, this will be easy for me in the future, inner’ Ara, who feels like she should be able to get through all this alone.

Someone opened the door to Ara's room, so Ara turned to her. Seemed a confused Bhishma, holding something in her hand. Ara tried her best to wipe away her tears.

Bhishma looked towards Ara, who was still not sleeping.

“Hey ... why haven't you slept?” ask Bisma.

‘Looks ... she didn't realize that I was crying, Ara's inner’, which was really very lucky this time.

“Couldn't sleep,” replied Ara with a clean and sniffle, and also sounded a bit hoarse.

Bisma came to him and sat beside him, “Hmm ... How is papa now?” tanyakanya.

Ara looked at him deeply, ‘Looks ... Bhishma did not hate her father completely. He still wanted to ask about his father's condition, Ara's inner’, really thinking about Bhishma with also his father.
