Anna smiled at the sound of knocking on the door. Could Alan be back? Ah, why would Anna be happy if Alan canceled the meeting with Cintya?
“By login?” ask Stefi whose head has been poking in through the door she opened.
Anna smiled, though her heart was disappointed. It wasn't Alan who came, it was Stefi. There's no way Alan's in the room should knock on the door first.
Stefi entered the room, she was not alone. Clarita followed behind him. Both look bright.
“Hai, Sister Anna!” Clarita sat down at Anna's side.
“Hai!” answer Anna.
“Loh, Brother Alan where?” Stefi turned her head in search of Alan.
“Mm... Maybe get wind again behind the house, or in his study, or I don't know. He said he wanted to drink milk down,” replied Anna. Ngibul.
“And we came here to chat with Sister Anna and Brother Alan,” Clarita said. “Chat with newlyweds sure exciting, dong.”
“Anna, uh Sister Anna, my tongue feels so stiff as to call you sister, we are the same age. We also study at the same campus,” Stefi said with a cheerful laugh. He was very happy to be able to chat with Brother-in-law. “How does it feel to have a new family?”
“Blessed. Because my new family welcomed me so warmly. Hopefully everything won't change.”
“Yess, sure, dong. O yes, you don't be surprised by Alan, he's cool. Ice block kayak. So do not be surprised if he likes not nanggepin what we say, but actually he listened, kok.”
“Instead Brother Alan is the figure of Brother who cares.” Clarita. “He's more family than treasure. When he again had important business about work, on the other hand I went to the hospital, he was willing to leave the work in order to consider my condition. There was Stefi and Mama who kept me. But Brother Alan insists on cooling me for the sake of mastiin if I don't pa-pa. He said money could be found, but family was second to none. Duuh I was moved by that inget.”
“Liat deh it!” Stefi pointed at the safe in the corner of the room. “It contains valuables belonging to Kak Alan. Not only important documents are stored there. Land certificates, securities and even photos of his High School period are also stored there. Including my childhood photos and Clarita's there. It means so precious to us in his eyes.”
Anna heard him. Is Alan really that concerned? But why isn't the Alan she knew like Clarita and Stefi told you? Alan was married for material reasons. For the sake of treasure, Alan willingly sacrificed his lover, even planning to marry the series with Cintya as long as the property and position are in his grasp. If Alan was a man of affection, Alan should have rejected arranged marriages and chosen Cintya for affection. About the character of Cintya, certainly can be formed over time. But why did Alan choose an arranged marriage filled with this pretense just for the reason of not wanting to be poor?
Stefi and Clarita unceasingly told how Alan was the figure of the elder brother who prioritized affection. And Anna responded with a smile.
