Honestly, Evan also felt bad when Elkan asked that. As an older brother, Evan felt that there was less. He is usually so familiar with Mira and Elkan, while now he has to keep his distance.
About a month ago, Andin asked Evan for something. Out of love with his wife, Evan is left idle and he will do as his wife asks.
"If I've known that Mas Evan has known Mira for a long time, but I want Mas Evan to keep his distance from Mira," Andin said.
"Why is that, honey? I don't have any feelings for Mira. I loved Mira a long time ago. A sister's darling to her own sister. Even for me, Mira and Eiffel are two sisters that I love" Evan said.
Not to fight. It's just that Evan explained that in his heart Mira and Eiffel were the same. She is affectionate with Mira just as much as her affection for Eiffel. Not excessive affection, but the affection of a brother to his sister.
"Alright, Mas Evan just admitted Mira's love," Andin replied with a sense of annoyance in the chest.
"Honey between brother and sister, Yang. It's not weird" Evan replied.
"I don't want to. My brother-in-law is ordinary. Moreover, you are of different sexes. It could be dangerous" Andin replied.
Evan glanced at his wife. Not judgmental, but family background and some things can affect a person's mindset. Although Mama and Papa also had time to tell that Mira is their child because they have known for a long time, but Andin felt that her husband still had to keep his distance.
"Mas Evan doesn't know, there are many cases of brother-in-law playing a conch" Andin said.
"Astagfirullah, dear. Why speak strangely. Who will play the fun too? If I want, I can ask Mama and Papa if the one who was betrothed to Mira since I was a child, and not Elkan," explained Evan.
Evan with his loyal memory can know and remember that Elkan and Mira have been betrothed since childhood. Not immediately, but indeed Elkan since childhood seemed to have shown interest and affection with Mira. That's what makes Mama and her father finally betrothed Elkan and Mira.
"Why don't you want to?" ask Andin.
"From little dear Mira it's Elkan. My dear to Mira only loves a sister to her sister," explained Evan again.
Evan again gave an explanation. Once again Elkan explained that his feelings for Mira only love a Brother to his sister only. In fact, Evan also said that if he wanted, he chose to be betrothed to Mira when he was a child. But Evan didn't do that. Since long ago in Evan's eyes, Mira was only a little sister to him. Unlike Elkan who is affectionate with Mira and seems to be interested in Mira.
Evan realized it was difficult to give understanding to Andin. He tries to explain everything, but in fact Andin still asks Evan to better keep his distance with Mira.
"When Mama and Papa want it you and Mira can get along with each other. Like a brother and sister" said Evan again.
"It seems difficult, Mas .. You know for yourself that my relationship with my brother is not good, Arine. How can I get along with Mira? Which I obviously just met, "Andin replied.
Andin also did not hesitate to reveal how his relationship with his own brother who did not get along well. In Andin's eyes, Arine was just an older sister who kept taking what Andin had. Maybe that's what you're feeling right now. Mira could have taken what she had. Andin just put up an attitude of anticipation.
"Don't be the same Arine as Mira, Honey .. the two are clearly different. I know Arine well, but I know Mira well. Mira can't be like Arine" Evan replies.
"You've always defended Mira anyway Mas?" ask Andin.
"Not defending, I'm just passing on the facts. I've known Mira all her life. From baby Mira, until she became my sister-in-law. If there is a good figure it is Mira. His character is very kind, and friendly. There's no way Mira's going to behave like Arine" Evan replies.
Evan could only sigh deeply. Again a long talk that produced nothing. Andin asks him to keep his distance from Mira. After that, Andin chose to leave. While Evan was still sitting on the chair and rubbed his face a few times.
If you are in the position of Evan, of course, Andin's request is not easy. When you are familiar and affectionate with someone, then you have to keep your distance. Though darling is pure feeling brother to his sister. Not a bad darling. Evan's burden also increased when Andin said it seems difficult to get along with Mira.

Now ....
When the family was gathering, Evan looked aloof in the park near his swimming pool. Elkan who saw his brother soon came to Evan. As always, Elkan was a warm and reactive person. Elkan saw that there was something different, therefore this opportunity he made a moment to talk seriously with his sister.
"Sir .. Why are you here alone?" ask Elkan.
"Nothing, El. I'm dizzy" Evan replied.
Elkan smiled at his brother. Because, never ordinary Evan admitted to dizziness. Because, his brother was the most reliable to handle work problems. Papa Belva believes in her brother.
"Tumben Evan Agastya admitted to being dizzy," Elkan replied with a laugh.
"Regular, humane, El .. why?" ask Evan now.
"No. I am nyamperin Brother. Sis, if there is something burdensome Brother, do not hesitate to tell the story well. We are brothers, brother. For years we could share with each other. I hope this time it's the same" Elkan said.
"Surely, El .. how are you ready to be a candidate for Papa?" ask Evan.
"Very ready .. I did want to have a child when I was young, Sister. Let's see if my kids are big, I'm not so old. I still have the strength to hold my grandchildren later" replied Elkan.
Evan laughed and patted his sister on the shoulder. "You're a ngaco sometimes, El .., but it's true. Well taken care of Mira and the twins," replied Evan.
"To be Mira and our baby is certain, Sister. Evan is sure there is nothing, right? I think there's something that's been missing Brother" replied Elkan.
"No, I'm fine" Evan replied again.
After that Elkan nodded his head. He spoke to his brother again. "Our wives need to be brought closer together to be more intimate, Brother. Brother has no idea so that Mira and Brother Andin can be close and familiar?"
"I don't know, El ... Andin was also busy with his script. We'll find a time when Andin's script is done, yeah" Evan replied.
"Alright, Brother," replied Elkan.
At least Elkan had said everything. She was ready to be a sharing partner for her brother. Really, with Evan who looks heavy minded like this makes Elkan want to continue to be by his brother's side. Elkan wanted to give her ear and listen to her brother's every story.
