"So when do I get a watch from you?"
"Dhika's. Are you beating me up?"
Someone held his arm and Dhika was shocked.
"What?"
"I was asking when did you clock in to ... What do you think?"
Dhika forgot that in her room there was still Desi.She was so busy thinking about the red face she saw a while ago.
"The job proposed by Ryan" he said just so.
"What kind of job would Ryan propose? Didn't you buy a plantation in Lembang on his request?"
"Yes. There were some suggestions Ryan had about the land for me to consider"
"Basic Ryan, you should have changed assistants a few years ago"
Dhika smiled, hearing the words Desi could not possibly do.
"Excuse me, Mum"
Dhika looked at the woman who had been interfering with her thoughts since earlier.
"Why did you come here?" desi asked a little harshly. Just this time he did not like the tone Desi spoke to his sister.
"The task is done, ma'am. It's time for us to ... go home" Zanna reported not looking at Dhika at all.
"Yahhhhh. I still want to be here. Dhika .. I went back to the office first huh. Malem later, you must be home, right?"
"can't. Tonight I have an appointment" Dhika replied and peeked at Zanna's expression. The little face turned red again before it was finally turned the other way by its owner.
"Who's the guy?" desi asked as annoyed.
"I'll call you. And that clock I'll give you tomorrow"
"Yes!! Okay deh. I'll go home first yeah"
Dhika escorts Desi's departure but her eyes continue to look the other way. When she was alone, then Dhika felt a little uncomfortable. Not out of loneliness but not knowing what to do with Zanna. The incident made her clearly know that Zanna had feelings for her. Not the feelings between brothers. Taqpi feelings of women in men.
"Zanna .. liked me" he said, then began to hold his own chin. He likes to pose like this when he thinks.
"But why? How come?" ask Dhika to herself.
It's been around since Zanna kissed her neck. But Dhika feels even more certain after seeing the embarrassed face of Zanna right in front of her.
Dhika's confused. What should he do after knowing Zanna's feelings? Dhika did not expect this to happen to her. He meant to be close to Zanna, bearing fruit that never appeared in his mind at all. But Zanna is his sister. Although they are not blood related, Dhika has considered Zanna as her biological sister. Although still confused, Dhika had to talk to her sister about this matter.
"Why ... "
Kiran had just taken a shower and wanted to rest while accepting that person as a guest tonight. He did not know that person would actually come to his house.
"So, I want to talk" said the man and just walked into his house. Kiran was forced to let the man sit in his living room.
"What do you want to drink?" kiran asked trying to calm down. He was still not used to just being alone with this person after the previous two occurrences.
"Sister .. Loves Desi"
Kiran fell silent and began to notice the look on her serious-looking face.
"What?"
"Sister liked Desi from the beginning of college. In the eyes of the elder sister, Desi was the most beautiful woman. Due to the death of your father, mother and problem moving to Jakarta, you cannot approach her. But while trying to finish college, we met again. And that love turned into love. Although until now Desi has not received sister's love, there is no desire for sister to go to another heart. So ... "
People say, knowing the person we like likes to like someone else, is hurtful. But what Kiran was experiencing now was worse than that. Indirectly, Dhika's sister ordered Kiran to erase all her feelings. Because sister Dhika loves others and has no desire to reciprocate her feelings at all. Kiran lowered her head and tried not to fall off her slowly weakening leg.
From the beginning, Kiran knew there was no hope for her. Because all he knows is that Dhika's sister and Desi's mother are dating. But knowing her brother loved Bu Desi to this extent, made her chest hurt. Not ... His heart is sick. Now he must give up and uproot the new-growing feeling of liking to its roots. Then burn it to the ground and nothing remains.
"sorry. I ... shouldn't have done all that" he said trying not to tremble as he spoke.
"Zanna ... sister"
"Kiran will never bother Dhika with this. And Kiran will make sure Miss Desi doesn't know it either"
"Zanna, sister didn't mean to"
Kiran swallowed her grief, looked at the person and smiled.
"Thank you for telling Kiran about Dhika's feelings. Kiran also does not know since when to have this same feeling brother Dhika. But ... everything will disappear later. So brother Dhika need not worry. If brother Dhika feels uncomfortable meeting Kiran because of this. We don't have to see you first. Kiran will also keep her distance from Ms. Desi"
"Zanna. Mean sister ... "
"It has. It's better for Dhika to go first for now. Kiran wants to be alone"
Brother Dhika stood up and started walking towards the door. Before actually leaving the house, Brother DHika turned to him and said
"Sister just wants us to go back to being brothers like we used to be"
Kiran fell silent. He began to realize his mistake. Wrong for having had a fond feeling for Dhika's sister. To the man who grew up with him. In the person who was without him Zanna would not be happy in this house. Now, Kiran must be self-conscious. She will only be a half-sister to brother Dhika and no other. A stepbrother who is happy if his brother finds his happiness.
He started walking to the front door and locked it. Then go to the room to sleep. Sleep will cure everything. It might even make all of this a nightmare that would disappear the moment he woke up. Hopefully, when you wake up the next day, Kiran can be normal again to Dhika's sister. That's if Dhika's sister wants to see him again. Kiran sighed softly, regretting her inappropriate behavior towards Dhika's sister.
