Brother, May I Love You?
Chapter 3

"Zanna, meet Mr. Burhan. The man who's gonna be Zanna's father"

Kiran remembered that day. The day his mother introduced a big, tall man as her new father. At that time Kiran did not understand because she was only five years old. Yang Kiran knew, her father died before she was born. His father, who worked in a deep-sea oil well, was in an accident and died. Her pregnant mother was also severely shocked by being expelled by Kiran's father's family after the incident. Kiran was born in this house. The house of her mother's parents and aunt. The old Dutch heritage house is still sturdy although some parts need to be repaired.

To finance her life, Kiran's mother continued her work as a secretary at one of the Malang malls. Kiran was left at home with her maid and aunt. Being busy, Kiran spends a lot of her growing time with her Aunt instead of her mother. So ... when her mother decided to marry Mr. Burhan, she felt nothing. He was only annoyed that the normally quiet house had become very crowded. Bored, Kiran decides to take a walk outside the house and wants to approach her friend Tasya.

Not yet able to get out of the courtyard, Kiran saw a boy sitting with a sullen face towards the house. Who her? thought Kiran then continued walking to Tasya's house to play.

"Hey you!"

Kiran looked over and saw the boy.

"What?"

"Are you happy to get a new dad?"

"New father?"

"Yes. You got a new dad"

"Who?"

"Bas with the little boy!"

Kiran squinted her eyes feeling dislike for being said as a child.

"You are a little boy too!" shouted Kiran.

"I've SD, you're still Kindergarten"

"But you haven't been gedhe" either"

"You're the one who leaked"

The little boy Kiran was already angry, let alone the little boy. He has never been treated like a child. He had to be independent because his father was dead and his mother always worked to make money. She also never inconvenienced the maid her mother had hired as well as her aunt. Even his teacher always praised Kiran's other maturity of his Kindergarten friends.

"You spoiled brat!" yelled Kiran again. This time by developing both hands and tiptoes. Trying to make his body look tall and big.

"What's? You know what you are?"

"Yes. You spoiled brat"

"Basic booty fierce"

"I'm not fierce! You are evil!"

Their quarrel became more and more because no one gave up. The quarrel was finally heard inside the house and some people started to come out to look.

"Kiran, what?" ask her aunt who is approaching.

"This boy is evil. Ngatain Kiran's"

"Kira? Her name isn't Zanna?" the boy arrogantly asked Auntie, making Kiran even more annoyed.

"This is Zanna Kirania and this is Radhika Pranaja's brother, Mr. Burhan's son" Bibi said. Kiran was not interested in hearing that.

"Bi, Kiran is going to Tasya"

"But your mother wants a family photo. Come on Dhika too"

"No way!" both are compact.

"But I asked Bibi to take you to Dalem. Dhika come too"

Being annoyed, tired and bored, Kiran finally could not bear it. He took out the last weapon he had.

"Yahoooo!!! Kiran does not want to. Kiran's going to Tasya. Kiran's going to Tasya!!" her screams mixed with tears and forced Bibi to drive her to Tasya's house. Afraid of increasing Kiran's cries, Bibi finally escorted her to Tasya's house. Kiran's cry subsided, then she heard the evil boy speak slowly.

"So much to cry"

"Zanna, wake up son"

Kiran woke up to her mother's sweet voice in the morning. It's not usually that she hears her mother's voice this morning. The one who woke her must be their Aunt or maid, because Kiran's mother had to leave for work once in the morning.

"Mother"

"Let's get up, breakfast. You go to school today"

Kiran wakes up and sees her aunt ready for college. Also the evil boy who fought with him yesterday. And the big tall Burhan sir sat at the end of the dining table.

"Zanna's awake?" greet Mr. Burhan but Kiran still won't answer.

"Later between schools Kiran ya Mas"

"Can. Zanna went to school with dad, huh?"

Daddy's? Mr. Burhan's aunt said he had officially been Kiran's father since yesterday but it was strange to call a stranger that name.

Be Kiran is in the car of a black and big Burhan sir. His mother waved from home when she saw them off. There was something strange about this incident, but Kiran still had not noticed it.

"Since now Zanna went to school with her father"

"Current"

"Dhika!"

"Just talk about it the same way"

The two men sitting in the front seat glanced at Kiran who still did not understand what Mr. Burhan said.

"Kiran's father doesn't exist. Kiran only has a mother with Auntie" Kiran said as she got out of the car and into Kindergarten. He didn't care about the sad face that Mr. Burhan showed.

Kiran was hard-hearted, but over time she began to get used to the presence of two men in her house. He is also used to going to school with Mr. Burhan and the evil boy. And what makes him more accustomed is the presence of his mother at home. For more than a month, his mother always prepared breakfast, welcomed him home and accompanied him to take a nap. Not only that, his mother also cooked dinner and helped him with schoolwork every night.

"So you're not working now?" kiran asked making everyone look at her that night.

"So you don't have to work anymore"

"Wouldn't pay Kiran's school for Aunt"

"Mom paid for Aunt's school. Kiran has someone to pay for"

"Who?"

Kiran saw her mother turn to Mr. Burhan and the boy.

"Burhan's father"

Kiran looked at the smiling Mr. Burhan.

"Why?" the question no longer understood.

"Now Mom is home to take care of Kiran, Bi Tia is the same brother Dhika. No need to work anymore like that"

"So Kiran came home from school, is mom home?"

"Yes"

"Sampe when?"

"Every day"

Hearing that Kiran felt very happy. She had waited so long that her mother would always be there for her when she came home from school. And now all that is happening. Because of the presence of a big man who smiled warmly towards him.

The next morning Kiran leaves for school and is escorted by Mr. Burhan. And of course with the boy whose face was angry. As Kiran got out of the car, she turned to Mr. Burhan and hugged him.

"Thank you Dad" he said, then ran into the school. He didn't know that it made Mr. Burhan feel very happy. But ... It also caused one's heart to become darker than before.
