KANAYA AND THE TROUBLEMAKER
HALF-BROTHER

Naya's two hands hugged her knees, staring at the quiet and desolate night sky. Naya's feeling was sad to think of Andra, but proud also because the rich man who was an installer was so great to deal with her problems.

"Why is Nay alone?" Arvin sat beside the cool Naya daydreaming staring at the old apartment that became empty land.

"Nothing" replied Naya.

"I'm out of Andra's mind, what is she doing now?" Agra also sat beside Naya staring at the apartment that used to be a house to gather.

"She must be thinking about tomorrow, Andra can't sleep before she knows what she's going to do tomorrow." Arvin smiled sweetly.

Naya's head nodded, Arvin and Agra were right, Andra was struggling his way.

There is no longer any reason to look for it, Andra would be bad if many knew his struggle that had to start from scratch.

"Vin, Daddy's great, yes, he can keep Andra's secret, even know where he is" Fuji Naya, who doesn't think there's one person helping Andra.

Arvin's smile was visible, not expecting if his daddy did. For a year Arvin admired the man he hated the most.

"Hopefully Daddy will be better" said Arvin who could not open his heart if he remembered his Mommy.

"Peace Vin, everyone has a chance to change, and you have to give it." Naya pats Arvin's back giving encouragement

Two men's smiles are seen, embracing Naya as a best friend. The view of the future looks very difficult and exhausting so it takes a long struggle.

Arvin was also a part to go again, the struggle is not over to become a useful doctor for many people.

"Vin's spirit, Agra's spirit as well, especially you Naya to keep fighting." Naya clasped both hands on her forehead praying all the good for them.

Two men did the same, folding their hands on their chests, praying in their hearts for good.

His third body lying on the grass, Naya's head protected by two hands closed her eyes to imagine the future.

"What are you going to be five years into?"

"Most importantly I remain an only child," Agra retorted to Naya and Arvin's surprise until her head was lifted.

Naya's laughter rang out, Agra's biggest fear turned out to be having a sister. She did not want her mother to marry again for fear of having a sister.

"You gave Mama permission to marry again?" Naya immediately sat staring at Agra's face which still closed her eyes.

"You see, Mama deserves to be happy too. I have a lot of busyness, no time to accompany Mama every day." Agra Manyun's lips, dazed with sadness on his face.

Arvin's little laugh was heard, one day Agra will get used to seeing Daddy and his grandfather changing partners.

Even Arvin can't count anymore how many women come in a year.

"Are we both going to be half-brothers?" Agra looked at Arvin who was sitting while surprised..

"Crazy! Why would you allow Mama to marry Daddy, I disagree. Find a better man, not Daddy." Arvin refuses Mama and Daddy's marriage because he doesn't want Daddy to hurt Mama Agra.

"Naya now taste Daddy very good, Mama also looks comfortable. Why not give it a chance?"

"Nay, marriage is not a trial. We all know how mama struggled to maintain her household, until finally learning to mengikhlaskan, not easy."

Agra's head nodded, saying Arvin was right if the process was extremely painful. Agra also has the same fear.

"If Andra were here, the decision would be absolute. I believe whatever ad Andra says, but it's hard to make a decision now." Agra opened her eyes.

"Andra's coming back, maybe with new wings."

"Since when has Andra had wings?" Arvin looked at Naya who immediately kicked her leg.

Nay stood straight away, one, two three, five, ten years even though other than death there must be a chance to meet.

"Vin, are we supposed to be brothers?" Agra ran after Arvin and Naya embraced the two who were staring intently.

"No" answered Arvin.

"Naya believes Daddy will love Mama more than anything, two people who have bitter experiences of life will definitely give their best so as not to happen again failure." Naya's smile is seen asking Arvin to accept Agra's offer for the brothers.

Chief Arvin shook his head, when there was only his Mommy can still cheat. Men only struggle to sacrifice everything, but after being able to find new.

"Are you like that, Vin?"

"Crazy Nay, do I look like an asshole?" Arvin frowned insuring that he was a good man.

"Daddy is also now much better, since it doesn't follow grandfather's orders anymore." Nay defends Daddy and supports Mama's relationship to get married.

Her third head turned as a car honked, Mama saw three young people walking towards her house.

"Why are you walking, where's the car?"

"Oh my god, miss it." Arvin pats the eidat blaming Naya and Agra for not reminding.

Naya and Agra's laughter rang out, stepping inside Mama's car. Arvin's out of the way letting the car go.

"Lake Vin," the mother asked to stop the car.

The car door opened, Arvin sat next to Mama who was driving. Arvin's car missed quite a distance because it was cool to walk and chat.

"Ma, where are you from?"

"Just got home from the restaurant, Mama's got food."

Agra's smile was seen, asking his mother to reduce working hours let alone a woman coming home at night.

Arvin's head nodded, agreeing with Agra's remark was too dangerous for a woman.

"Ma, marry. Agra will accept it, at least Mama has friends and some are worried."

"Speaking what Gra, Mama's old, embarrassed." Mama's little laugh was heard asking Agra not to worry about her.

"If you're embarrassed, then what about Grandpa?" Arvin was even more embarrassed.

Naya's laughter was huge, beating Arvin's back in comparison to his grandfather's.

Sugar Grandpa who became the target of women, old meksipun for a lot of money is not a problem.

"Don't you talk like that Arvin, everyone has a way to be happy?"

"Is Daddy okay, Auntie?" ask Arvin.

"No, he's not good because he's too busy working during the night, doesn't even have time to sleep" Mama explained.

The heads of Arvin and Agra turned their heads, how the two busy working people had time to know each other's circumstances.

"Don't misunderstand Arvin, Daddy you only eat at restaurants, he often forgets so Auntie asked to stop by."

"Surely just eat, he doesn't tease Auntie, don't want to. Daddy's not a loyal man, unless he's poor." Arvin asks Mama Agra to ignore his attention-seeking daddy.

Kanaya rumbles as Arvin is more worried about Mama Agra, he doesn't want the woman Agra loves to get hurt, just like his Mommy.
