Brother, May I Love You?
Chapter 25

"Sir Dhika and Missi?" thought Kiran then shook her head. It was hard to accept the fact that her brother had a lover like this angry and commanding superior. But, Kiran knows herself. He should not interfere with his brother's personal matters. After all, whoever becomes Dhika's partner will have no effect on her life.

Due to departing too early, Kiran finished all the work and was able to return home on time. Ms. Desi also did not give any other work today. Probably because his mood was happy. And Kiran knows why. It must be because Miss Desi and sister Dhika spent the night together. Kiran's chest felt uncomfortable again. Maybe he got in the wind? It had been more than three days that he felt this way. Looks like Kiran will have to buy anti-cold liquid when she gets home later.

Arriving at Dhika's sister's house, Kiran finds someone she had seen about four days ago.

"This father is a handyman who works at my house right?" ask Kiran.

"Yes Mba"

"Is there a problem sir with my house?"

"There is no Mba. All the rats and mice's nests have been exterminated. In the yard and the house, everything was clean. Just wait for all the chemical smell to go away. Three more days the house can be lived in again"

Kiran was delighted to hear the news. He was finally able to return to his grandfather's house again.

"How much does it cost, sir?" ask Kiran again.

"I'm ordered to meet Mr. Radhika tomorrow for that matter"

"My same sir. I have a home"

"That can? But ... " The carpenter looked doubtful but Kiran continued to insist.

When he finally received the details of the cost of the rat expulsion in his house, Kiran's neck felt a little choked. A large enough amount just to repel a few mice. But he has to pay anyway. He couldn't possibly let the handyman come to Dhika's sister for this matter.

"How do I transfer? I asked for my account number" he said, then pulled out his cell phone.

"By that Mba"

With a single transaction, Kiran lost half of the savings money she had accumulated with great difficulty during this time. In the room he used Kiran started counting all the expenses during his two-week stay in Malang and felt sad.

"You keep gini, not yet the payday has gone bankrupt" he said and then returned a long sigh. Had he been quickly placed and received alimony. His salary will increase by 50%. Too bad the new kid seems to have to wait to be able to get all that. Does he have to work part-time? Whereabouts? What work can he do for the rest of the day like this? Kiran held her head and re-examined the numbers she had written in her notes. I wish there was a gap to get more money. And of course the result is nil. There was nothing else he could do to add to the savings. He can only hope on the salary that begins to be received next month. Then save as much as possible to fill the savings again.

The most important thing is that the house is free of rats. So he can return to his grandfather's house in three days. Kiran thought to start packing when she heard a knock on the door of her room.

"Have you eaten?" ask Dhika who is standing in front of her room. This time Dhika's sister wears a white shirt and beige pants. She was still not used to seeing her brother's neat appearance.

"Not laper"

"Did you bring work home?" asked Dhika who seemed to be peering towards the table in the room.

"No" Kiran replied, rushing to close her notebook and not realizing that the man had entered the room.

Sister Dhika found the suitcase that Kiran took out of the closet.

"home"

"Where?"

"Yes to Kiran's house" he said, then stuffed the suitcase into the closet again.

"Why?"

"You've finished the rat expulsion. So Kiran wants to go back home"

"I don't think they're finished until now"

"Udah. Kiran met her exchange. They're here to give the report to Dhika's sister. But Dhika's sister hasn't come home yet. He said there was still the smell of chemicals so it can be occupied after three more days about, so said the exchange earlier" explained Kiran then turned and saw Dhika's brother as upset.

"Did you pay for the repair?" ask brother Dhika surprise Kiran. How did this guy know that?

"Yes"

"How much? Let brother change everything"

"No need. It was Kiran's house, so Kiran should have paid for it"

"But the brother who took all the artisans there. It should be the brother who paid"

"Necessary. All of Kiran has counted"

"They're expensive craftsmen. Their costs will exceed your estimates"

That's right, but how else. Thought Kiran then gulped with great difficulty.

"Udah ah's. Males talked about money" he replied and then made Dhika's sister stop talking about money again. The man was silent for a while and then started to invite her to eat again. But Kiran was not hungry and chose to rest early.

Dhika was silent for a moment in front of the door of her sister's room and then walked downstairs by contacting someone. He blamed himself for not coming home early today. He should have met with his errand boy and not Zanna. He should have paid all the fees and not Zanna. Now Zanna must not be willing to accept money from him either for any reason. Dhika feels like a fool for not being able to take care of a small thing like this.

The next morning when he woke up, Dhika again did not see his sister. Zanna got up early in the morning to go to the office, for some reason. But that allowed him to get inside Zanna's room and check on something. On a table near the bed, Dhika finds a thick notebook she is looking for. Yesterday he saw many numbers written in that thick book. Dhika sat on Zanna's bed and began to open the notebook.

Before long he realized that the notebook was more like a financial book. Inside was a record of her sister's expenses starting two years ago. Dhika reads page after page and looks at three jobs done by her sister over the past two years. Les son SD, iron clothes and admin olshop. Turns out Zanna can do all that while staying in college until graduation. How-to? Dhika just handed over all plantation management to Pak Agus when he was in college. And the amount of salary Zanna received was not great. Everything is running out for personal expenses as well as tuition and thesis fees. From the notes she read, Dhika realized that Zanna was living a heavier life than she expected.

It was only fitting that Zanna did not welcome him well when they met again. But Dhika doesn't care about it and forces Zanna to take her apology for granted. Actually .... as a sister, what had she done for her sister? She is too focused on her own grief and does not realize that the fourteen-year-old daughter is forced to grow up prematurely. Do a lot of things just to get money that is not much. Where was he when Zanna was in trouble like this? Where's she??
