" That means that it was Raya who misheard Ma, Pa", I said, deliberately lying, so that mama and papa did not keep thinking.
I deliberately sat in the middle room turning on the television just to check there might be a good broadcast. Mama went into her room and took something, then gave it to me.
" This is from Juna and Shaka, this afternoon they both went to the city, kept coming home busy wrapping this, but instead be given to mama to convey to you. They both said, sorry can only love is the same as you, not in view of the price Ra.., but from the sincerity of their hearts".
A rectangular gift with a wrap with so many red rose flowers. And a white ribbon on the top edge of the gift.
" When Raya assesses people's gifts from the price ma.., Juna and Shaka are good at making surprises. Try Open, what it is".
I opened a gift from them, it turned out to be a small piece of paper, and inside was another smaller package, about the size of a toothpaste wrap, and right, right, indeed what they used to wrap was the waste toothpaste wrap, I had a smile with their snickering. And it turned out that they were both secretly peering at me from the room.
When I opened the smallest package it turned out to be a gold necklace with a love-shaped pendant with a red jewel in the middle.
I was moved by the idea that they gave me a gift, "when there was no need to bother, it must be expensive, from which you two get this much money to give big brother a very expensive gift", I said while shedding happy tears.
" It's great.thank you handsome brothers!", I waved my hands to get them both out of the room.
Juna and Shaka came out and hugged me tightly, I immediately felt Shaka and Juna's chest rising and falling rapidly. They both cried while hugging me.
" It's not all comparable to what big brother has done for us".
" Thank you very much Kak Raya, because it is my sister, I can continue school until graduating high school, sorry because the gift from us is nothing compared to everything that you have done for us", said Juna faltered while sobbing.
I let go of both of their hugs. " You should just save the money, not that you don't like the gift, it's just that this must be very expensive, so far you have never worn a necklace as beautiful as this", I said while wiping away the tears that escaped and fell on the cheek.
" It was actually a gift from Juna's brother, Shaka just went to the city and helped choose the necklace model. What does Kak Raya like?".
I nodded quickly at Shaka's question. " Sister likes it, brother say thank you, both of you are very considerate brother, brother feel very lucky to have a sister like you".
" Now please put on the necklace, you can't wear it yourself" I asked Shaka.
Shaka immediately took the necklace from my hand and put it on my neck. I stare at my reflection from the mirror in the living room.
" Thank you handsome sisters, beautiful necklace, Kak Raya likes it!", I said, making Juna and Shaka smile widely.
Mama and papa smiled happily because the three of us are now very well together, different from the past, me and Shaka like cats and dogs that never get along, and Juna is always the mediator if we are arguing or fighting.
" Oh yes you three stay at home yes, mama and papa no need to go out for a while" said Papa while taking a jacket from his room. My mom also wears her jacket.
Mama and papa say goodbye to go to the store where ordinary people shop with large quantities, because for Friday tomorrow's event it takes a lot of supplies of groceries and also cooking ingredients.
" Now Mom and Dad go to the store first, you two stay home, and take care of your brother, remember, no one goes, have to stay home until we get home", mom's message.
The closer to the wedding day, the more intense mom took care of me, should not be at home alone, or go out alone, the point is everywhere to be accompanied.
After mom and dad left, I was with Juna and Shaka sitting in the living room playing games on my phone together.
" Sister took six steps forward, one, two, three, four, five, six", I touched the phone screen again to show how many dice I got. " Well, just one", after I put my pawn forward, it was Juna's turn to shuffle the dice.
While the three of us were still playing, there was a knock on the door from the outside. I immediately stood up and opened the door, Bian was standing at the door with a battered face, and many injuries, I immediately panicked to see the situation, he said, and shut the door so that no one would see Bian's messed up state.
" Who Sis?, why not be asked to enter?, even the door is closed?", Shaka peeked from the window, fortunately the porch light is not too bright, so from inside Bian's face is not too clearly visible.
I pulled Bian's hand to leave my house immediately, Shaka and Juna came out to put in a large suitcase filled with wedding dresses and kebaya that I will wear tomorrow.
" We'll just talk in your car" I said, pulling Bian's hand away from the house, towards the car.
I opened the back door, I pushed Bian into the car, and I went through the same door. I took the P3K box that was always available in the car.
Bian faced towards me without saying a word, I saw his face filled with wounds, and his lower lip was bleeding from being torn. This must be all yoga.
I slowly cleaned the blood around the wound on Bian's face, then I applied ointment to the wound, so as not to be too sore. Bian let me do all that, which means he's not mad at me, but I still have to apologize for leaving them behind and leaving.
" Bi.. I'm sorry I just left without telling you. Because I see you're busy venting the anger you've been holding since Steve's relatives' house".
" Are you disappointed in me because I didn't defend you Bi..?, actually I've been afraid of people fighting being near me for a long time. Moreover, the two of you are friendly, if you fight, it means you are in a very bad mood. And I think if you're in a bad mood, giving advice or hurting you that's a free thing....".
Not finished I spoke, Bian immediately hugged my body until the P3K box between us fell down.
" I love you Ra, I don't want our marriage to be annulled, it's only two days until we officially become a couple. I've been dreaming about it for a long time".
" Honestly when I overheard that conversation you and Steve had in the living room this afternoon, I was in shock, because it turns out that the jerk who ruined your life is my best friend. The person I trust a lot and already think of as a brother".
Bian let go of his embrace and looked back at me. " After knowing the truth, I immediately called Riko, because I remember when we first came down from Mount Rinjani, Riko had given a message so that I was more careful to Steve, and I was more careful, at that time I did not know what Riko meant. And when I heard your conversation, I asked Riko what was the reason for warning me to be careful of Steve".
" Riko says that she sees Steve constantly trying to get close to you at all times. And I only realized that at this time, from the beginning I never thought a bit, or prejudiced if he was Shaka's real father. It is only fitting that every time I look at Shaka it seems that his eyes are not foreign. His eyes are similar to Steve's".
I held Bian's hand, "Bi. I'm sorry I didn't tell you that Shaka's father was Steve, I used to call him Yoga, because that was his nickname when he was Junior High".
" I actually want to tell you the truth, but seeing your good relationship with Yoga, I feel I have no right to ruin your friendship. That's why I prefer to be quiet".
" There was never any intention to cover up the truth about my past with Steve, really, I'm sorry".
Bian was still looking at me fixedly, "Whoever Shaka's father, I've made the decision to spend the rest of my life with you. Nothing will change between us".
Bian grabbed my body and kissed my lips slowly and long enough, over time Bian began******my lips slowly. I knew Bian was still sick from the wound on his lips, which is why I didn't return his kiss, I was still enjoying every treatment Bian had for me.
" Why not in reply?", Bian asked because I did not return the kiss.
I smiled, "Don't get me wrong, you're sick, your lips are hurt and bleeding, I'm afraid you'll be in pain if I return your kiss".
" If you may know, who broke up your fight?, what's Utari?".
Honestly, I was wondering how Bian and Yoga stopped fighting, and who broke them both.
Bian shook his head, "Utari shouted so that security came and broke up us who were both battered like this".
" If there was no security, no matter what our faces might look like, it might have been battered by the many wounds on the face".
"I'm just happy that you went home first and didn't see how we were both fighting each other. If you see it, you're horrified to see Steve's face and my blood-soaked face".
Bian tried to explain it briefly to me.
