Confessing defeat

"Sir Angga, what are you doing here?" asked Arsen as soon as he stood right in front of Angga.

"Emm, there's an office friend who's sick. So, I visited him here." said Angga nervously. "What are you doing here yourself?"asked the man back with a tail of eyes that glanced towards Nathan's place.

"Emm, I'm here because Aunt Naura is being treated here,"

Angga's eyes widened, gasping in shock upon hearing Naura's name called by Arsen's mouth.

"Aunt Naura? you mean ...." Angga hung his words like he was reluctant to mention the name again.

"Yes, Brother. It turns out Aunt Naura didn't come back all this time because of the hit-and-run amnesia. For a dozen years, the aunt was not allowed to recall her past, for her own good. Aunt Naura's head will feel very sick, if forced to remember. But, I made a mistake, trying to make that aunt remember papa and us and Nathan. Therefore, he fell unconscious and fell into a coma" explained Arsen at length, and with a sad face.

"Oh, like that?" said Angga with a lazy tone. "What's the son of?" Angga pointed at Nathan with just a few moves in his eyes.

Arsen did not answer. The man sighed quite heavily and sat back down on an iron chair. Later, Arsen begins to tell her what happened to their younger brother Nathan, especially about his sister's desire to leave.

"Ck CK CK. He always brings bad luck to his close friends. It's good that he's gone from home" said Angga, cruelly without feeling.

"Sister Angga! why can you still say that? you should feel empathy for him. She's your sister anyway, too" said Arsen unhappily.

"There's no point in me empathizing with him. Just wasting time! yes, I want to go first!" concluded Angga with a ringing in his face, while moving away, not caring about Arsen's call behind him.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Sister Angga!" Angga who had arrived at the parking lot immediately stopped his intention to open the door of his car, as soon as he heard his name called by a very familiar voice in his ear.

Yes, the owner of the voice was Nathan who saw his eldest brother left, immediately went to Nicholas on the grounds of going to the toilet.

"What's wrong?" asked Angga coldly while putting both of his hands into his pants pocket.

Nathan did not answer. The man exhaled, as if it was hard to reveal what he was about to talk about.

"Why silence? Please don't waste my time! if you don't want to talk, I'll go!" Angga held the handle of his car door and prepared to open it.

"Sister, I want to withdraw my words that do not need the tuition that has been prepared by papa first," Nathan chirped, swiftly before his brother actually got into the car and left.

Angga scrunched his forehead and moved his hand away from the door of his car. Then, the man looked back at Nathan with a very sharp look.

"Try to repeat what you said just now! didn't I hear wrong?"he said by slipping a sardonic smile at the corner of his lips.

"Why?" asked Angga coldly.

"Hmm, if I may, I just want to ask him to my way as far away from this city as possible, even if it is from this country. Is it okay, brother?" nathan said that this time no longer cared about his pride.

Angga smirked cynically and laughed mockingly. "I told you, you can't live alone. But why do you ask for that money? don't you already have a lot of money from your painting?" angga Syndir.

"Sister, I was just asking, can I use the money or not? why did you divert him? if you can, you can answer, if not yes no," Nathan's assertiveness is now back again.

"May I give it, but on one condition. You must admit defeat to me first. The proof of you who, with his voice, said that you would be able to live alone without my help, is just a fantasy. Are you willing to admit it?" challenge Angga who is like being on the wind.

Nathan's hung. I want him to give a defense. However, as soon as he remembered his intentions, Nathan tried to refrain from issuing sarcastic sentences to his eldest brother.

"Good, Brother. I admit defeat! I'm a loser whose words don't match the reality" Nathan said, finally resigned.

"Good, you finally admit it too." said Angga with a satisfied look.

"You said the money wasn't for college but to leave. Where are you going?"Now Angga is starting to look serious.

"Not yet to know, Brother. Actually I just want to go abroad. That's why I asked for my tuition, in addition to the money I had, before I got a job at the place" Nathan explained.

"Why do you want to go far?" Angga pretended not to know.

"That's because I don't want to make people who love me, get into trouble, brother, if I keep living with that family,"

"Eventually you are self-aware too, if you always cause trouble. Your mother's kasian, who bore the misfortune you brought. Starting from you in the womb, you are already considered as bad luck. Because of your presence in your mother's stomach that makes papa not so divorced with your mother, but it makes me and Arsen separated with our mother," again Angga said sarcastically.

Nathan seemed silent, trying to restrain himself from refuting the insinuations thrown from his brother's mouth. He could have spouted words back at his brother's innuendo, but given his determination to go far he abandoned his intention to argue.

"Well, since you have admitted it, I will gladly give you the money. Where are you going? I'll buy the plane tickets myself. For all important documents such as passport, visa, I will also take care of myself so that it can be finished quickly."

"Thank you, Brother! I was planning to go to London" Nathan replied firmly.

"Well, I'll book you a ticket there. What do you want to use that money for. Whether you use it for college or not, it's up to you. Just, I remember once again, if you run out of money there, never try to contact me and ask for money again. Understand you!"

"Understand, Brother! but if I may, I'm asking, please, please, please Brother never tell anyone including my mother, where I'm going,"
