Brother, May I Love You?
Chapter 8

Returning home from the funeral Kiran and Bi Tia who were still sad went to the room to rest. Let brother Dhika accompany the brethren who have come to serve. As the atmosphere grew quieter, Dhika's talk with Burhan's father's siblings could be heard all the way to the room.

"You went to college in Surabaya Dhika?"

"Yes Pakdhe"

"Good"

"It's Burhan's house, isn't it?" ask Burhan's father's sister.

"Not Bulek. It's mom's house"

"Basasar women snatch men's husbands. If your father hadn't married that woman, your father would still be alive by now. Bulek beat her husband the woman also died in the middle of the sea. Damn carrier is indeed"

Burhan's father apparently had four brothers. One bigger brother and three younger sisters. Everyone actually has their own business with the help of Burhan's father. But during these ten years Kiran often saw the arrival of Burhan's father's brother to the house. In addition to coming to visit, they usually have hidden intentions. Ask for capital injections or borrow money. Burhan's father always helped his brother and mother never interfered with it. And hearing her mother being talked about like that, made Kiran and Bi Tia who were inside the room upset.

"What the fuck?" said Bi Tia seemed to be more emotional than Kiran.

Bi Tia and Kiran did not come out immediately despite having to endure the anger. They chose to wait for an answer from Dhika's sister.

"Bulek, no ... "

"Dhika, pakdhe just gave me a suggestion. Don't be fooled by those two people. Your father's legacy is yours. It doesn't belong to two people who have no family relationship with you"

"Yes dong. Pakdhe is your family. Not two people who can only cry it. Some of the women your father married were not working all this time. Just eating and living"

Kiran and Bi Tia were still putting on good ears. I wish Dhika's now grown sister would do something. But it turned out that the person they expected to defend was just silent.

Of course Bi Tia could no longer bear to hear her brother being told all sorts. They never knew their mother personally. Kiran follows her aunt out of the room to confront Burhan's father's family.

"Hey!!! It's good that you mocked my brother. Who are you guys?!"

"Gee. This is your mother's brother who said he worked in Jakarta. He said college was work. What can a woman do like this? Mostly called the husband of his brother like his brother"

Bi Tia and Kiran had not expected to hear all the ridicule before their own eyes. Bi Tia immediately exploded. No matter how old Burhan's father's brother was, Bi Tia replied to all the taunts without censorship. Surprised Kiran who was a child.

Then Dhika suddenly stood up and looked towards Bi Tia and Kiran.

"Bi Tia stop!!! How dare Bi Tia talk!!" snapped Dhika's feet with a frightening look. Kiran could not believe that she could see it from the brother she had known all along.

"Dhika's. My brother who has been nursing you is like that. Now you're mad at Auntie?"

"Auntie quiet!!" snapped Dhika's sister again.

Burhan's father's brother felt victorious and laughed mockingly at Bi Tia as well as Kiran.

"Eatya if you become a woman do not dare to cut off people's conversation. Basic disrespectful" said Pakdhe kak Dhika increasingly muddy the atmosphere.

"What???? You ugly old man! Just talk!!!"

"Pakdhe is not wrong. Bi Tia should know herself and go inside. Bring this little boy too"

Kiran and Bi Tia were now at a loss for words. Never once did they think Dhika's sister would support a person who demeans motherhood. Bi Tia looked towards Kiran who was still in shock then laughed.

"This is now my home and Kiran. You have no right to be in this house including you ... Radhika Pranaja's. So now I'm asking you to get out of here!!!"

Kiran looked at the backs of Dhika's legs who went to carry all her belongings that night. Leaving him with a painful disappointment.

"Auntie. How are Kiran now?" kiran said she was worried about her uncertain future after the departure of Burhan's father and mother. He actually hopes to join brother Dhika to Surabaya and live together there. As brothers who both lost their parents. But it turned out to be another reality than Kiran's expectations.

"Kiran is coming with Bibi to Jakarta. Aunty can also raise you even though you can not love a luxurious life. You want to, right?"

It seems like Kiran had no other choice. He can't survive alone in this house. Keeping Burhan's mom and dad's memories alone. He needs school and that requires money.

"Yes. Kiran wants to"

Since then Kiran has never seen Dhika's sister again. Because a week after the departure of Burhan's father and mother, Kiran followed Bi Tia to Jakarta. After handing over the home affairs to the home rental agency.

"We can use the rent for your school Kiran. For food and home issues, Auntie's salary can still be made"

Kiran nodded. He can no longer complain about anything. The family he owned lived in Bi Tia. He had to fight to be able to do anything in Jakarta himself, trying not to trouble Bi Tia.

And now after ten years, he saw Dhika's brother standing in front of him. All the disappointment, heartache he had once felt once again made his chest tight. More claustrophobic than remembering the memories of Burhan's father and his mother.

"Do you want Dhika's sister here?" he asked without being able to hide the hatred on his face.

"I ... bring the house keys. The last person on the contract left this key is the same brother"

Kiran snatched the house key from the man's hand then turned around and unlocked it. He wanted to lift the suitcase but first by the guy.

"Well?" tanyakanya.

"You're going in. I think your suitcase is heavy, so brother ... "

"Down my suitcase!!"

"But ... "

Kiran smiled wryly. After ten years he finally returned to his hometown. But the one who greeted him in this city was the one he least wanted to meet. Even that person wanted to enter the house he had once insulted. That's very funny.

"Kiran doesn't know why Dhika's sister is here. But it's better to go there"

"But Zanna. Dhika's sister came here because of worry. You are just now coming back to Malang. Must need help brother to ... "

It wasn't finished the man spoke of Kiran raising her right hand. Asking the person to be quiet without yelling or yelling.

"Can't you just leave here? Kiran is tired, males is dealing with people who do not know thank you" he said then entered the house. Carrying all his luggage and slamming the door in front of that person's face. Damn it just came home and met that guy.
