DISTURBING NEIGHBORS
33. Hostile flag

Rion might be able to accept if his rival was someone else. Karel, for example. But, if this was her own brother, it would feel unethical if she got into a quarrel with the Big Brother just because of a girl.

However, even Rion's feelings towards Neska could not be underestimated, she was serious about the girl. He loves Neska and does not want if the girl is injured especially just because it expects Cean who clearly Rion knows as an expert female player.

Isn't Cean's playboy nature no longer a secret in their extended family? Even Aura often offended him when they were gathered together.

And so, disrespectfully, Rion looked at Cean with a dislike look. How could Cean possibly make Neska the next candidate for heartbreak? And Rion does not want that until it happens, Neska is better with him than with Cean who has never been serious in a relationship.

"Sir Cean, why come to Singapore?" Finally, Rion threw in a question that he could have guessed for himself. Rion wanted to know what Cean's answer was about this.

"Oh, I just want to monitor the central company."

As it turned out, Cean preferred to give up, Rion thought. All right, we play our respective roles. If Cean keeps lying then Rion will still be stupid and pretend not to know. I don't know until when, maybe until the limit of his patience runs out.

"Oh, isn't the central company being monitored by Aura?" Now Rion looked at his sister who was eating quite greedily.

"Eh?" Aura was aware that she was being stared at right now. "Sister no longer takes care of the company, Dek. So let Cean take care of it. It just so happens that he wants to come here as well, Brother's job becomes lighter," he explained. To be honest, Aura was now confused by the actions of her two brothers.

Neska herself did not realize there was a heat veiled from the gaze of the two young men who were at one table with her, she chose to enjoy this dinner even though this afternoon had eaten together with Rion at the Mall.

The absurd atmosphere and more silence became lively again when Aura had finished her meal session. He invited them all to chat, especially asking Neska and Rion for a month in Singapore.

...***...

Aura, Cean and Rion drive Neska home to the girl's apartment building which she lived in during her studies in the Lion Country.

That's where Rion can breathe a sigh of relief, at least now Neska has escaped the grip of the face that Cean always gave to the girl.

Rion doesn't like the way Cean looks at his girl. Although Cean always tried to hide his attitude and gaze in front of everyone, but Rion could read it.

Rion is convinced that her brother has changed his mind. Cean had already started looking at Neska as a girl, no longer a little sister as he had said eight months ago.

One day, feelings can change. Especially eight months. Everything is possible.

However, Rion believes that Cean is not able to interpret the feeling, even though the way Cean looks at Neska can explain everything without the need for Rion to ask further. He is also a young man. Although he is still a dozen years old, but Rion is able to understand many things quite well thanks to his intuition, insight and intelligence.

"We take Rion to the apartment first," Cean proposed after the taxi they were riding began to walk away from the Neska Apartment building.

"I can go home alone, we take Aura first." Rion's voice coldly.

"You go home first, Dek. Aura can go home with Brother," replied Cean.

"Did Brother want to stay at the same apartment building as Kak Aura?"

"Yes, no."

"Certainly, where did you stay in Singapore?"

"At the hotel, I'm."

"Why not stay in the apartment?"

"No," refused Cean.

"Why? I'm afraid I know what my real brother meant, why did he come here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Udahlah, Brother. My goal is to guess!" rion said, making Cean sitting next to the driver look back to be able to see his sister.

"Why you?" ask Cean later.

Cean snorted softly, holding back his emotional outburst, it was possible that Rion would provoke his anger like this. But, Cean realized that this did not escape his mistake as well, he knew Rion was staunchly protesting because of his sudden arrival.

"What's wrong, anyway?" The aura that had chosen to be silent and paying attention, now began to raise its voice and chimed in. "What are you arguing about? From the beginning, I've seen something strange between you!" pissed off.

"So don't ask me, Sister Cean," replied Rion lazily.

"Why am I? What am I doing?" cean replied lightly, feeling innocent.

"You're like a kid, you know!" Aura looked at Cean. "Remember your age, you shouldn't argue with Rion!" his nag.

Now Aura turned to her youngest sister. "You too, wherever Cean is your brother, Dek!" hatchlings.

Cean and Rion compactly cast a glance towards the car window glass. No more conversations, suddenly the atmosphere became quiet.

Until finally, the taxi almost reached the area where the Rion Apartment was located. Rion's face was still the same as before, looking gloomy and displeased.

"You're like kids fighting over toys. What are you guys really fighting about? Or maybe you're fighting over something?" aura asked before Rion actually got off that taxi.

"There's nothing" Cean replied nonchalantly.

Rion smiled bitterly. Cean was still willing to give up, he thought.

"There will come a time when Aura will know everything. We're both looking forward to it, brother. Until the guy is honest what he really means!" the word Rion emphasized the word 'that person', of course what he meant here was Cean.

Cean smiled slanted in his position, he knew Rion was angry, but he did not want to ignite his sister's anger again by answering Rion's innuendo, Rion said, so Cean prefers to be quiet and watch Rion get out of their cab.

"You ... don't want to stay in Rion Apartment?" ask Aura before the taxi gets back on its way.

"No," replied Cean calmly.

"Yes, I went straight back to my apartment. You're staying at the hotel?"

Cean nodded, though he hadn't booked a single hotel room for his shelter tonight.

"Something strange, having a brother who occupies the Apartment even wants to stay in the hotel."

"Unusual hitchhiking," joked Cean with an oddity.

Aura sneered in her position, making Cean even more chuckle at it.

After delivering Aura, Cean chose to check in at a hotel that was still one scope with the Aura Apartment building.

He slammed his body into a large mattress and looked back at the ceiling. There was no fatigue on his journey today, with a smile rising at the corner of his lips.

"Do I now have to admit that I like it the same girl I used to think of as a child?"

Cean rubbed his face many times. If you look at reality, the feelings are very late. Neska's with Rion now. Why didn't he like Neska the way he is today? Moreover, he had once rejected the girl by saying that Neska was only a sister for him.

"Being with your own sister is not a sin, yes, if Neska also wants to, right?" cean whispered to himself.

But, Cean hurriedly put his thoughts aside. He must not think of taking Neska because with his arrival alone, Rion had already opened the flag of hostility between them. If he is reckless, Cean is afraid that Rion will actually raise the flag.

"Why did Neska have to date Rion?" gerutu.
