Don't (Blame) Love
SESSION #2 10
"Quen, you're not learning? Not three more days of smester?" sapa Al found out that his sister was reading a novel.
"So it is, brother. It's just a thought refresh, really." jawan Quen, then back to staring at his reading.
Al sat next to his sister peeking at the reading that his sister read.
"You really like science, huh?" al asked, leaning on the sofa.
"That's a big victory, brother. Anything related to IPA. Want Science, Biology Quen likes."
"What college will you study?"
"Psychology of kayae, brother. Or be a psychiatric doctor, that's cool." Quen grinned as he glanced at the older brother.
Because Al's anxiety pinched his sister's nose, "You're managing your emotions well, first. Don't be labil."
"When, anyway, is Quen unstable, brother?"
"Yes never," jawan Al while scratching his head that does not itch.
"Sister, who is Haruka?"
"Him? It's nobody. Brother doesn't like spoiled girls like that, it'll be a hassle."
"Sister, you haven't had a boyfriend, have you?" quen asked with a full glance.
Al answered with a shrug of his head, "Why ask?"
"No papa, no brother. But, later if you already have a boyfriend and then get married will certainly be busy with your family, donk. Quen so himself did not have another brother," Quen jawan with a clear face.
"Why do you think that? I'm your brother, I won't change forever." Al stroked his sister's head gently.
Quen was silent, he recalled his dream last night that a woman had taken his brother away from him, leaving him alone in a foreign place that he had never touched.
"Why are you, anyway, Quen?" ask Al gently.
"I'm a gapapa, Brother."
"Well, take a walk, yuk!" bring Al.
"Where, brother?"
"Where are you going? What is it to the Mall, Bosen? How about taking the bike to the night market, all right?"
"Yes, can. Come on, brother." Enthusiastically, Quen jumped down his folded legs on the sofa. With both hands, Al.
"Put the book in place first, and take the jacket and change it with trousers," Al reprimanded, glancing slightly at Quen's thigh.
"Ok, okay." Quen ran straight to his room.

Arriving at the Night Market Quen walked while continuing to hug Al's left arm.
They walk everywhere following the wishes of their eyes all the rides have been tried, tampa realize time has almost shown ten o'clock at night.
"Quen, we're home, yuk!" take Al with you after getting a message from his papa.
"We just got there, brother."
"Quen, Honey. Papa chat just now, where are we," replied Al panicked.
"Buy me first." Quen pointed at the red cotton sugar hanger not far from him.
It turned out to be true, there were many calls and messages from Vano asking for their whereabouts.
As soon as Al arrived, it was as happy as a little boy Quen snatched the cotton candy from Al's hand. Hugging his older brother and grasping the cotton candy, Quen took a photo of them and sent it to Vano.
"Come, go home!" Take Al again.
"I want to eat this first."
"Quen, it's late, it can be eaten at home" Al persuaded.
"Ok, okay."
After they arrived at home apparently Lyli had not slept, he was still observing the front yard through the window of his room.
"They're sisters who love each other. But, if mister Al gets a life partner, will Miss Quen be able to spend more time with her brother?" lyli muttered alone when she realized that Quen was more and very spoiled for her brother.
"Hurry to sleep so that tomorrow is not late, yes," Al ordered Quen.
While he went straight to the reading room, and it turned out that Vano was still waiting for him there.
"Papa, sorry if it has been a long wait," said Al when he found his papa there.
"Has Quen been to his room?"
"Already, Pa." Al sat next to his father and watched what he was doing.
"So gini, tomorrow in Bandung there are clients who want to meet, how about you go there, you also have no plans to go to Japan in the near future, right?"
"Oh, yes, Pa. Its alright. Let Al learn the material first, the meeting is still the day after tomorrow and during the day, Al can leave the sore, right?"
"Yes, an afternoon rating is fine too. Yes, all Papa has sent to your email, rest first!" Excited Vano as he got up from his seat and left.
Al was still in place. He opened his personal files and opened the photo media. He saw one after another photos stored in his memory.
His gaze stopped on a family photo, five years ago, on his papa and maam's wedding anniversary.
He looked at each of the faces in the photo, and smiled at Quen who was still very cute and cubby wearing the same kebaya as him, and now, she had turned into a beautiful mature woman.
But, Al's view is actually more focused on papa and his mother, anyway. The figure that gave a new life until now can be like this of course.
Al let out a long sigh and leaned back on his chair until he had unknowingly fallen asleep there.

"Where are you going?" quen asked after seeing Al putting his clothes in his bag.
"You go to Bandung, there's something to do." While Al still looks pacing back and forth preparing clothes and toiletis that need to be brought.
"When do you leave, brother?"
"This is over, just for a second."
"Oh, what's the sudden, brother? How many days is there?"
"Yes, papa said it was also impromptu. At the end of the day, you're doing well at home, studying seriously, huh?" al said while stroking the tip of his sister's head.
"Yes, yes uda, Quen change clothes first brother."
Al just nodded and smiled.
