Police Station
The figure of the middle-aged man with his body that looks thin, appears to be sitting curled up in the corner of the iron bars room. Both of his hands bend and support his face above his knees which is also bent. The man's face was seen looking at you with the look of his empty eyes directed forward.
Erick, the man had no idea what he was thinking at the moment, maybe he regretted what he had done to his sister's son-in-law, or maybe he regretted his old attitude that did not dare to defend his sister just because he was afraid that his parents would throw him away just like when they threw his sister Barra from his extended family.
In his reflection, the middle-aged man remembered the ex-wife who had abandoned herself by bringing along her only son. Honestly at the moment he misses his son so much that he himself does not know where he is. During these 28 years he kept looking forward to one day meeting, but it seemed like Monik really closed all the access doors for him.
"Your Mr. Erick today we declare free, some guarantee your freedom. Please come with us to complete your release procedure." Said the police officer in charge of Erick's case.
"Who released me, sir ?" Ask with a frown.
"You can see for yourself, sir, they're waiting for you in the waiting room." He answered while opening the cell door.
Although confused Erick still followed the steps of the police officer, , signed a number of his freedom files and then walked out of the room after previously changing his clothes.
In the waiting room...
Aira seemed impatient waiting for the arrival of the uncle from her husband, the woman was seen walking back and forth like an iron that was being used. At the end of the chair, Alvian was sitting with an anxious face because he saw the wife who did not want to be silent.
"Darling don't you shut up for a moment ? You're pregnant, don't let our child why you're tired." His rebuke to the wife.
Aira grinned the horse, but still the woman did not stop doing her activities even though the husband had reprimanded her, only she reduced her movements.
"Sorry, I just can't wait to see my uncle."
Alvian rolled his eyes off guard, who had an uncle, who was acting strangely. But that was how his wife, he would feel panic or excessive anxiety if it was about his family, and Alvian who had memorized the nature of his wife could only let it go but still keep an eye on him.
Meanwhile, in the other corner, it appears that Omnya Adi is holding back laughter at the behavior of the couple. If viewed more closely, it seems that the one who has an uncle here is Aira, because it is precisely the girl who looks very agitated rather than Alvian himself.
But he could not deny, in the corner of his heart the middle-aged man was happy because Aira who looked so fond of her husband's family. No matter what and how the Alvian family behaved to her, Aira always accepted it with a smile that was so sincere. And he should be proud that Alvian married a woman who had a very big side of kindness.
"You guys ! What are you guys doing here ?"
A big and heavy voice, made them all instantly look at each other in unison. Seeing where the figure of Erick standing at this time with the condition of his body getting thinner, even though the man was only a few days behind bars.
"Uncle." Strangled Aira while walking quickly towards Erick. "How's uncle doing here ? Sorry Ara's been here too long uncle. Is uncle okay ? Uncle is healthy, right ? Why is uncle's body getting so thin ?"
Flocked to endless questions made Erick chuckle a little, his niece's wife looked so adorable in the eyes.
"One if you ask son, uncle to be confused to answer which one first."
Aira grinned and then scratched her nape awkwardly, she was too happy to subconsciously throw the question tiled to her uncle.
"Sorry uncle Ara is too happy to meet with uncle." Smirks.
Erick smiled, then fondly stroked the head of his nephew's wife, the man was actually a loving man. It's just that his complicated past made him a vengeful figure.
"Sister."
Erick looked at the younger brother who was walking towards him. The man gave a sincere smile without any burden, it seemed Erick really had buried all the anger and also the grudge he had been in all this time. For a few days he was in prison, apparently the man thought about all the crimes he had done so far.
At once, Mr. Adi immediately slammed into his brother's arms, shedding all the longing and regret for several years that so squeezed his chest. It feels so calm and peaceful when in the arms of his beloved brother. The taste is still the same as it was a few decades ago.
"I'm sorry brother, sorry for all the things I've done to you." I regretted the tears that came out of the corner of her eyes.
"What do you say Adi, it should be the brother who apologizes to you especially Barra, as an elder brother sister can't protect you." Sluggishly.
"Are we still brothers ?" Ask silly, Adi is still Adi, even though he is old he is still a little brother who is innocent in the eyes of Erick.
The man laughed out loud, forgetting that they were still at the police station.
"What are you talking about, you are still my brother who is very innocent in my eyes, even I still remember when you were a child you always cried if I have not been carrying." The ignorant chirps make a red hue created on the cheeks of the sister.
"At least don't bring up the shameful past in front of the big boys, you're still a shitty Erick." His grunts because of the actions of the brother who casually opened his disgrace in the past.
"Why should we be ashamed, isn't that our romantic moment as brothers that can't possibly be repeated ? Even now I feel doubt if I can still carry you like I used to remember my body now which is not as strong as it used to be." He said with a smile.
Mr. Adi was silent, his eyes scanned the body of the brother who had a lot of changes, the body in front of him really looks very thin and unkempt.
"You may no longer be able to carry me, but you can hold my hand tightly and be with us through our old age. I want our childhood memories to come back together, maybe a little bit different, but trust me, it's still the same."
Erick smiled again then hugged the sister tightly, right people said if the blood was thicker than anything. Their brotherly relationship is complete regardless of what happens to them.
"For me you're still my brother who's always protecting your sister's brother, like you used to when you always put your body up for both of us when we made mistakes and you always protected us from papa's tantrums."
"How else, I have two sisters who are so naughty and always bother me."
Mr. Adi smiled and broke their embrace.
"Let's forget about the mass, brother, in the future there will be no more conflict between us. You're gonna come with me, and we're gonna spend our old days together." His bargain was immediately carried by his brother's head.
"And unfortunately I won't let your plan succeed Om." A bus sound managed to make both of them turn towards the source of the sound.
"I..."
