It's Wrong If I'm Two
Chapter 23. Inner bond

Kalea has been at her parents' house which has a good distance from her house and Zoni. He walked in without knocking on the door because it was his house too. Kalea grew and grew up there.

"Assalamualaikum" said Kalea, opening the door but found neither his father nor mother in the living room.

This house is not a typical big house. Only house sized 6×9 meters. While in the front of the house, there is still room for parking.

Kalea came in and, apparently, her father and mother were chatting in the dining room. "Father and mom are here? It's only fitting that I don't hear your answers" Kalea said with a big smile.

"Yes. We are talking here" replied Mr. Tono, Kalea's father with a warm smile.

Bu Yuni, as the mother of Kalea also smiled and welcomed the hand of the child to be greeted. "How are you?" ask Mr. Tono, Kalea's father.

Kalea nodded while commenting on her smile as sincerely as possible. "Kalea's good, Dad. You're healthy, right?" Now it's Kalea's turn to ask the news about her two parents.

Bu Yuni sighed harshly to make Kalea turn her attention completely to Mother.

"We are getting older. I wonder what it's like to hold a grandchild. However, you just did not get pregnant," replied Yuni gloomily.

Kalea smiled wryly. How could he want to have children while the condition of his household is not okay.

"Zoni where? Did you come alone?" asked Mr. Tono to shift the topic.

"Mas Zoni has to work. There are so many problems in his office" Kalea replied not entirely lying.

"Yes already. Eat first. I cooked some chicken today. However, please don't eat that thigh part huh? That's for your sister" said Ms. Yuni, who made Kalea smile.

Kalea's eyes glanced towards the dining table precisely on the plate that contained fried chicken. Only two pieces of chicken remain and the other is the neck.

Although her lips were smiling, Kalea's chest felt tight. The neck is usually less meat. Although the skin is quite good, it will not be enough for the portion of Kalea meal. Not to mention, the cut is small.

Kalea sighed softly to remove the tightness that squeezes the chest cavity. "Yes, Mom. Let's be smart, right?" kalea asked like a satire because every Kalea asked the reason, the mother always answered so that her sister was smart, so that her sister could graduate school with the best grades, and many other reasons for the welfare of the Sister.

However, there is a sense of happiness when he saw his sister is now grown up and very handsome. Moreover, his younger brother is now undergoing Strata One (S1) studies.

"Eat. If less, you can eat tofu and tempeh," said Paa Tono as he moved from the chair.

Kalea nodded with a throbbing chest of pain. It should be, Kalea should not have such a taste. Does not seeing the younger brother succeed is a Kalea prayer every day? So, Kalea must be willing to eat potluck for the future of her sister.

"If you want to eat tofu and tempeh, take just one. The rest is for your sister. Your sister's meal portions are plenty. That, the vegetables are still there. You eat a lot of vegetables to be fertile and quickly have a baby," said Bu Yuni again as if without burden.

Kalea suddenly lost her appetite even though her stomach was hungry. "Yes already. Kalea doesn't eat. All that for Latitude alone, ma'am," replied Kalea heartily.

"Yes already. Then help mom wash dishes huh? There are so many dirty ones," pinta bu Yuni who Kalea could not refute.

"Good, Mom."

Rolling time. The sun seems to want to go home to the contest to produce a light of beauty that is very pampering the eyes.

The door of the old house of Kalea opened and Lintang appeared from there. At the sight of Kalea, Lintang smiled happily with sparkling eyes.

Kalea certainly returned a warm embrace of her sister was no less tight. She misses her younger sister who grew up with her as a child.

"You how are you? A few months did not meet, Ma'am just realized that you started to grow a mustache," teased Kalea while raising her head, stroking the area under the nose Latitude.

Latitude laughs. "I'm getting old like that" Lintang replied in no way offended.

"The time you pray for your own sister to grow old. No alright," said the voice that was none other than that of Bu Yuni.

Kalea sighed. "I'm just throwing jokes, Mom." Feeling that his mother was starting to act less fairly.

"Yes, Mom. Kalea used to joke with me. Anyway, I love it when Ma'am Kalea can throw jokes. Usually, it comes with a bent face," said Lintang intend to tease back.

Kalea chuckles. "Indeed, you like it like that, don't you, Tang?" tanya Kalea felt funny and Lintang nodded enthusiastically.

"of course. My advice, don't mind too much, Ma'am. Let Mbak not hurt himself," said Lintang sad that unfortunately has made Kalea's eyes glazed after hearing it.

Kalea smiled. His sister seemed to know the problems that Kalea was facing without having to tell a long story.

"Kalea! Your sister let her change clothes first. Don't hold it there. Anyway, it's late afternoon. Didn't you go home? I don't want you to be so negligent with a wife's duties." Bu Yuni said she did not like it.

"Mother! Kalea's sister here her intention to meet Father and Mother. Ma'am Kalea misses you guys. Why was he told to go home?" answer Lintang defending the Brother.

"Yes, I know. Just how is the fate of her husband? Not to mention her in-laws? Are you ready to face them?" asked Bu Yuni again then immediately passed leaving his two children who were still silent with their respective thoughts.

Intentions want to stay over, what are the only evictions that Kalea can have. Forced, Kalea to undo the intention to stay. Maybe going home is not the right way. Kalea can find low budget hotels that fit in the bag.

"Looks like, Mommy should be home soon. What my mother said has a point. You're a diligent school. Do not waste the cost that Dad and Mom spend for you," said Kalea advised as her hand moved around the arms of Lintang.

Lintang looked back at his sister. "Mr?" call Soft latitude.

"Why?" tanya Kalea blinked.

"Didn't Ma'am have the desire to go to school again? Pursue packages? Or, Mommy wants to take a course on something? Didn't you want to be designing clothes? Then where are all those dreams, Ma'am?" The latitude speaks softly and gently to precisely hit the target of the heart of Kalea.

"Please, Ma'am. Don't sacrifice too much for me. Because it will be hard for me in the future. I also want to see Mbak become a successful woman and not easily oppressed. Don't beat yourself up again after this. I beg you, may Mbak still have a glimmer of hope to take the course or pursue the package. Come on, we're successful together, ma'am." The latitude is long and very mature.

Kalea to tears because she could not hear the words of her sister. "Mbak will attempt once there is capital for the course. Mbak is working to fulfill Mbak's wishes including pursuing those sky-high ideals. Come on, we're successful together."

Kalea hugged the little sister who understood her heart. The younger brother who might have an inner bond is very strong with her. Since childhood, Lintang spent more time with Kalea than with her parents.
