Heart Darkness
Chapter 27 Obrigada ....

"Hallo, Brother ...."

Reinha's one hand waved from upstairs. One eyebrow raised high as he spoke, "Could you tell me, what are you doing? Brother, sneaking midnight into the house carrying a girl, you're not like Elgio Durante."

Reinha spoke half-bending and leaned leisurely over the handrail, both arms elbowing to support the body. He watched from there in a comfortable position like watching the dance attractions at Heiyo Mall Center.

"En, En-ya?" Elgio gago. "You haven't slept?" asked Elgio desperately trying to keep his voice so as not to sound awkward.

After Elgio returned from New York, Reinha moved into the main house and occupied one of the rooms on the second floor, one floor with Elgio.

"Not .. because I'm curious. My brother went to Aunt Maribel's house and got out of there with a girl."

Reinha moved towards the stairs and down the stairs with a flexible movement ala-ala Michael Jackson. The excitement made Elgio wrong.

"Are you hiding something from me, brother?" Reinha stopped curling then leaned against the railing of the stairs and began to knock slowly. Her lips were a few inches long and the corners of her lips were slanted.

"Sister owes me an explanation .. Why kiss and hug Marya Corazon in my class as if she had been dating him? How'this? I'm so upset, I think brother went to guardianship because of me. I didn't expect that big sister was really curious about Marya Corazon. Aish, this brother!"

"Then, what if I really like Marya?" ask Elgio from below.

"Any .. like Marya but bring another girl home? Oh, my God, I'm jealous now. Marya Corazon has never been seen, but Ethan Sanchez is infatuated with her. Then, my own brother .... I feel like I lost a million times to Marya. The girl was like the sun, too glare to be seen but everyone adored her" Reinha said at length. He soon woke up, "Don't try to divert me! Who's the girl behind you?"

Reinha's chin was raised towards the back of Elgio while Marya's left fingers tightened the grip on Elgio's shirt. Marya's forehead touched Elgio's back, hammering there slowly. It was as if sending a signal that he was really nervous. Elgio's right hand held Marya's hand firmly. Marya replied, "just calm down!".

"Umm .. "guman Elgio was confused, looking for answers. Reinha Durante is very critical and intelligent. After all, he will not back down easily before his curiosity is satisfied. Elgio just thought of how to tell Reinha about Aruhi but first discovered. Really na'as.

"Umm ... ?!" Reinha tilted her head and scaled.

"Umm .. She's my wife, your Sister-in-law," answered Elgio senselessly. "Show your manners!" Elgio forced with a hard tone made-up.

Reinha was silent before bursting into laughter. He sneered amusedly, "Married? Since when? You didn't invite me? Did you run the girls to Durante Land and then I was married?"

Reinha asked a lot of questions, interrogating like a policeman.

"You are .. I'm not that low!"

"So, who is he? Is one of our working girls?" His forehead wrinkled. He thinks hard. "You're dating one of our working girls? Oh my God, Brother. Why not just date one of the top models or newscasters? I wish for a real sister with Marya Corazon now, because I want a sister-in-law who is smarter than me but not prettier than me. I can compensate. So, who's the girl behind you?"

Reinha hoped to know quickly who the girl Elgio was carrying was. It was thought to go down the stairs like at Lucky's house. If the count is right, he will land right behind the girl behind Elgio's back.

"I'll tell you when the time is right" Elgio said.

"Oh yeah? Nowisthetime. You've been caught by me. What did Mr Leon say from up there when he saw his son secretly smuggling girls into the house?"

Reinha almost got to where they were standing and she became very parsnip.

"Please Enya. Not now!"

"All right then. We'll stand here until the chickens crow. I'm not gonna shift until brother tells me. Besides, I can't sleep out of curiosity."

Reinha tried to peek over the shoulder of the elder sister. He frowned because it didn't work.

"By the way, why did you go to Faith Hill and kiss Lucky with your teeth? Did you drink alcohol and go there? You owe me an explanation."

Elgio's question makes Reinha step dead. He was shocked and looked at his brother.

"Don't know?"

"Of course, I know. Mr. Abner's spies told him."

"Yes .. hear Enya. Lucky Luciano isn't just a criminal. Turned into a cat woman and went to the villain's lair to exterminate them, just a booze in the movie. Even if there were, they were people trained in fighting. You're putting yourself in danger by going to see Lucky alone. I'll whip your feet with a horse's whip if you dare to do it again."

"But Brother ...."

"You'll be escorted 24 hours from tomorrow and take Muay Thai classes to protect yourself" Elgio said, not wanting to serve Enya's self-defence or denial.

"Sister, I don't like bodyguards! I can take care of myself!"

"Enya, you're my sister. What if something bad happens to you? Don't act silly anymore! Go sleep! I love you."

Elgio's tone did not want to be denied but Reinha looks grimy. It is not easy to be expelled.

"No .. I want to meet your girl, sister. Comeon!"

"Enya .. she's very shy."

"I'll date Lucky Luciano if you don't want to introduce me to your girl!"

"Oh my God, you are .. Just try it! Before that say 'say goodbye' to both your feet. Go there!"

Reinha shook her head hard. Elgio clucked in annoyance. The atmosphere became silent, only the sound of night beasts could be heard swirling out there. Reinha's brown eyeballs lit up and glittering winks at Elgio, full of anticipation. Elgio gulps.

Suddenly a voice spoke softly from behind Elgio's back.

"Hai Reinha .. are you okay? It's me ...."

Reinha was aghast and sharpened her hearing. His mouth was in disbelief. He unconsciously said, "Obrigada?! You it? So, are you seriously dating my brother?"

"Yes ...."

Marya looked timidly at Elgio's side and Reinha Durante almost slipped so surprised to see Marya's beautiful face.

"Are you better?" ask Marya again.

"Ma, Ma-rya Corazon? Is that really you? Why ...."

"We're married," cut Elgio quickly as he pulled Maria's left hand and raised his left hand flaunting the ring from a proud "ring cupboard.

Reinha was still gaping where she stood. Without a doubt, he was in severe shock. Reinha awoke after successfully recovering her consciousness and giving a response.

"Well, I feel worse now."

"Sorry .. I don't mean ...."

"That's your business! I also don't want my brother to interfere with my business if I have a lover later. By the way, your wedding ring .. it's like a key ring from Azel's cage. You are poor, brother! No wonder the cat is often lost."

"If you don't mind, we have to go!" Elgio gestured for his sister to get out of the way.

"Where?" Reinha looked at her brother sharply. "Don't try to bring a girl into your room, sister! You know if two humans are alone in a room, the third person must be a demon."

"You are this .... You look more like a demon right now with those puffy lips!"
