Healing
76. The Good Brother

Shortly after I calmed down after drinking water given by Shaka, mom and dad came home from uncle's house. The two of them entered the house while Bian, Juna and Shaka were still in my room.

" What is this?, how did it all go into the room of the Kingdom?". The mother who had just entered seemed anxious because the others had entered my room.

" Are you sick Ra?, since this morning papa saw you pale and lethargic, do you want to see a doctor now?", asked Papa.

Papa and mama immediately entered my room, a narrow room filled with people who entered, making the air feel hot.

" No papa kok ma, Pa, Raya had overslept the maghrib prayer, kept having nightmares. But Raya is fine, really, there is no need to go to the doctor" I said as I cleaned up the mucus and prayer mats that were still lying on the floor of my room.

I gave the code by shaking my hand, telling Juna and Shaka to get out of my room, so as not to overheat. The two of them complied to exit the room, but were still standing in front of the door staring inside.

" Papa and Mama came home early, I guess you guys wanted to go home late because you haven't been to your uncle's house in a long time". I stood up and took everyone out of my room.

" Aren't you really papa Ra?", asked Mama still can't believe my answer.

" Surely ma, it was just a nightmare, a terrible thing, so that they screamed and screamed at each other when they just came home from the mosque".

Mama nodded, "Yes, mama deliberately went home early, because she wanted to eat dinner together with all of you, mumpung again gather everything, so mama had bought grilled chicken, so, complete with sambel and also lalapannya. But mama cook rice for a while, because the rice that was just a little while ago. In half an hour, we'll have dinner together".

I followed my mother into the house, into the kitchen, while the four men gathered in the living room watching the ball game together.

But when my mom and I were in the kitchen, I saw Juna take Bian out and sit on the porch. I wonder why the two of them broke away from Papa and Shaka, what do they want to talk about?. Or are they deliberately out because they want to smoke together?. Out of curiosity I followed them and hid beside the house, near the terrace. So I can hear the conversation between the two of them.

" I'm glad that Kak Raya met a good man like Bian's sister, I'm sure Bian will be able to look after, care for, and make Kak Raya happy more than our family. And I hope that what Brother Bian said earlier is not just because Brother Bian wants to calm Kak Raya who is scared because of the nightmare. But because that's what came out of Bian's heart".

" I have known Brother Bian since I was a child, because my sister used to play here, even once I never saw Brother Bian make Kak Raya sad as long as you are friends. I hope that after you become husband and wife, you will always be happy".

" Last noon when I just got home, the first thing I asked my mother was, if Brother Bian already knew about the past of Kak Raya, and Mama says if Kak Raya has told her about her past to sister. And brother still wants to marry Kak Raya, even though he already knows the truth. I salute brother, who wants to accept Kak Raya which is full of shortcomings. Thank you so much for the kindness of Brother Bian all this time".

" Kak Raya has felt too much sadness, getting unpleasant gossip from neighbors, even getting scorn and also ridicule because of the mistakes she did first with her boyfriend".

" I don't know what kind of jerk he is planning to kill his own flesh and blood. That man who has destroyed the future of Kak Raya. Until I will never forget the face of the bastard, lest he show his face in front of me. Or I could get out of control and finish him off right then and there".

" I regret because of my stupidity when I was a child, who just wanted to be given 2 thousand rupiah to buy snacks and leave the house, until he freely committed his depraved actions against Kak Raya. I as a younger brother was very sad, because I failed to take care of Kak Raya, every time someone scorned her, my heart also felt pain. I again feel guilty and sorry for leaving Kak Raya and the bastard was alone at home".

I could see Juna wiping her tears that were dripping, all this time I just knew if Juna felt guilty to such an extent would all the plagues that had befallen me all this time. I thought I was the only one who felt the pain, never once thought that someone else felt the same way, who also grieved every time I saw me sad.

Juna is indeed a very understanding younger brother, I think he has been quiet to me a lot because Juna is disappointed in what I did with Yoga first, I think, but it turns out that Juna was silent because he felt guilty for what happened to me. To me, Juna is innocent. He used to be too small to understand and understand the problems and complexities that occurred in my life.

Bian responded to Juna's words wisely, "You are a dozen years old, but your thinking is very mature, Raya is lucky to have a younger brother like you, who is mature and understanding", said Bian.

" When I was your age, maybe I didn't think as mature as you are today, I was still a kid when you were your age, because I was just starting to become a new student, money is still asking the same parents, life is still at the expense, and the problem is still around association with friends. That's why I salute you Jun. You are mature and hardworking, I lost to you".

" Loh, you guys even chat here, where?, mama thought he was out join you guys, why not here, let's go in, the rice is ripe, mama thought he was out join you, we had dinner together inside. Let mama find Raya, maybe in her room", the presence of mama makes the chat between Bian and Juna must stop. They both obeyed my mother's orders, and entered the house.

I hurried inside through the back door that went straight to the kitchen.

" Loh, where are you from Ra?, mama cariin from earlier turned out even from behind".

My mom was in the kitchen first.

" The Kingdom deliberately out looking for the wind, exhausted inside it felt really hot earlier ma. The rice is ripe, Ma?, let Raya take it outside".

I unplugged the magicom cable and brought the still-hot rice into the living room. In my house there is no dining room, because my house is narrow and we usually eat alone, rarely eat together, unless there is an important moment. Often eat while watching TV in the living room, or eat in the kitchen so that if added close to the place of rice and vegetables.

" Eat a lot Ka. You will again grow up, let you grow up rich brother, so want to register school or find work anywhere is easy, easy, if anyone gives a minimum requirement of high specified", Juna adds rice to Shaka's plate.

" Jangan terlalu banyak dong kak Juna, takutnya bukannya tumbuh ke atas, malah tumbuh ke samping, jadi gendut, kan nggak keren", ucap Shaka menolak saat Juna hendak menambahkan nasi lagi ke dalam piringnya.

" Eating yes naturally, if you want high will definitely be high, wong descendants of people of high stature, yes downhill to his son must be so", Mama commented.

Papa was tall as his grandfather Shaka, and Yoga, of course tall and stocky, I can still remember the part of the belly of Yoga that was like a torn bread, with very tight and hard muscles, because I could feel it when his body came into contact with my body yesterday.

What am I thinking, how can I be with my family and with Bian, but my brain is still thinking about that shitty guy.

Dinner was over, papa delivered a message that had been kept since a few days ago to Bian.

" From tomorrow, Raya will leave and go home to work with Juna, or with Papa, you will soon get married, even though later in the restaurant you meet, but later in the restaurant you meet, but it would be nice not to take Raya first until you get married later".

" It is not impossible, but to minimize unwanted things. Does Bian mind doing this papa request?".

Bian looks surprised when papa says it, but because of the style of papa's polite language, makes Bian can not say no. Bian agreed not to come home again from Monday tomorrow, until we were legally a couple.

" Of course it's okay Pa, after marriage we can continue to go back and forth together, although quite a long time also had to go alone for a week. The important thing is still to meet at the restaurant" said Bian while scratching his head that does not itch.

Mama and Papa smiled with honesty and Bian's attitude.

Bian came home at 9pm, which means it was our last day to leave and go back to work together before we got married. Bian seemed reluctant to go home, as usual. But Juna and Shaka kept telling him to go home, because it was already night.

" Patience Bian, stay five more days, brother bian no longer need to go home, can nginep here at will", muttered Juna with a slightly soft tone.

" Yes yes, Brother Bian tipped Kak Raya Ya Jun, as a good brother, you have to take care of Kak Raya for the next five days", order Bian when he gets out of the house to his motorcycle.

" Well, Brother Bian, I will be Kak Raya's bodyguard for the next five days, and I will keep him from getting hurt even if only a little" Juna promised.
