LOVE THE CHILDREN OF JURAGAN
Do not Move Photos

Erdana came home quickly from the company. When he opened the apartment door, he did not find Yasmin. Is Yasmin still on campus? Erdana glanced at her watch which had shown at 4pm. He picks up his phone and calls Yasmin, but Yasmin's number is off.

"Maybe he's still in college" Erdana muttered as she stepped towards the second floor. He opened the door of his room. Erdana was tired. He wants to sleep.

Erdana's eyes immediately widened to see his picture with Mentari was hanging again on the wall. Likewise with the photo above the nightstand.

"Why is the picture hanging again? Did Yasmin do it?"

Erdana could only shake her head. He took off his coat and shoes and climbed into bed after blaming the air conditioner. Erdana closed her eyes and finally fell asleep.

**********

"Sister.., let's get up! It's already night."

Erdana's cheeks were patted smooth.

Erdana who was still sleepy actually turned her body in the other direction while hugging the bolster stronger.

"I'm still sleepy, baby. A little more huh?" erdana replied without opening her eyes.

"Later late for dinner. Come on...!"

"So, baby, I'm still sleepy!" said Erdana while continuing to hug the bolster.

"Later if you finish eating, you can bobo again. Food's cold."

The real Erdana was still sleepy slowly starting to return to the conscious. Mentari never called her sister. Mentari would call him honey or honey. Erdana slowly opened her eyes. He immediately felt guilty when he found Yasmin's shady gaze smiling at him. Erdana was like dreaming when she thought that Mentari woke her. Because the habit of Mentari is to pat her cheek.

"Sorry, Yas. I thought you were Mentari. Maybe I'm dreaming." Erdana said with regret.

"Let's eat, brother. It does not matter if my sister thinks that I am Mentari's sister. Maybe because this is the first time I've woken up. Come....!" Yasmin who had been sitting on the edge of the bed slowly stood up. Erdana is awake.

"I want to take a shower first" she said as she stepped into the bathroom.

"I'm waiting to be brought in, brother." said Yasmin then immediately out of Erdana's room.

15 Minutes later, Erdana was hard in the dining room. He smiled at the different types of food available.

"You cook?"

"No, sis. I got home at half-six. I went to my sister's room and saw my sister sleep well. That's why I decided to take a shower. Finish the shower, order food."

The two had dinner together warmly. Finish eating Erdana helps Yasmin clean the dining table while Yasmin washes the tableware.

"Yes, did you put the Mentari photo in its place?" erdana asked when Yasmin had finished washing the dishes.

"Yes. Why?" Yasmin asked as she looked at Erdana. He temporarily dried his hands with a tissue.

"I'm the one who asked. Why?"

Yasmin frowned. "What's wrong with the photo until you take it down? Mentari's sister's first wife."

"Aren't you mad I still have Mentari's photo?"

"Are you not in love with Mentari anymore? If indeed brother does not love brother Mentari, yes just lower the photo. Store it in the warehouse or if you need to throw it away."

"I....."

"I don't have a problem, brother. I told you that my honey is Mentari's brother, I'm not angry. Our relationship has improved. I've even given myself to my brother even though I don't know if I've erased Andre's name properly from my heart. I want the time to finally talk, how will our relationship go forward. I just flow, like water."

Erdana's approaching Yasmin. "I'm proud of your maturity. But will our parents accept the concept of polygamy?"

Yasmin held Erdana's cheek. " Please wait until Mentari's brother arrives. We will fight together until they can accept the relationship between the three of us."

Erdana immediately hugged Yasmin. "I'm proud of you, Yas."

Yasmin smiled. He returned Erdana's embrace.

"Wouldn't I make you some coffee?" ask Yasmin

"Can. Would you please take me to my work space? There's a report I need to work on." Erdana kissed his wife's lips before letting go of his embrace and headed straight to his study

Nick can only shake his head when he sees his girlfriend's attitude. Elmira has disappeared. Fortunately Nick has memorized the password to open the door of Elmira's apartment.

"Darling.....!" call Nick when he doesn't find Elmira in the living room. The Elmira apartment is only one floor.

Nick stood in front of the room door and knocked slowly.

"El.., baby. Open the door please."

There is no truth from within.

"Darling, I'm in?" Nick opens the door and sees Elmira sitting on the sofa folding her legs. Both of his hands were even folded in front of his chest.

Elmira threw away her face. He didn't want to look at Nick.

"Darling....!" Nick approaches and kneels in front of Elmira.

Elmira remained silent.

"I know you, angry. But how else? It's not polite that I have to sit between the two of you while there are so many cameras covering your company."

Elmira looked at Nick sharply. His heart aches because Nick let Romi, a young businessman who is lately chasing Elmira and much liked by his fans.

"You shouldn't have allowed him to join us at our table. I wanted to have dinner with you on purpose, Nick."

"But there's a reporter, El. That's why I chose to budge and wait for you outside the restaurant. What will be their response when they see the artist and his bodyguard eat together with the man who is chasing the artist. I'll be bullied by all your fans."

"You're my girlfriend and not my bodyguard."

Nick was about to grab Elmira's hand but the girl brushed him off.

"Darling.....!" persuade Nick.

"I don't like it, Nick! We've been dating for over four months. We can't date like other couples. You attach too much importance to what people think than to my own feelings. What's wrong if people know we're dating? I'll never worry about what people will respond."

"Then let me stop being your bodyguard. I'm gonna find another job that's gonna make me worthy of you."

"I don't want to, Nick. I feel safe when I'm close to you."

"Then what should it be?"

"You ask me what should I do? You already know what I want. Let everyone know about our relationship."

"Patience, El. We're not in a hurry. I don't want our relationship to be consumed by many people. I want to have a relationship like an ordinary person. I don't want to be hunted by journalists let alone our relationship until it has to be covered by one of the private TV broadcasts like most artists."

Elmira grunted in annoyance. He stood up and walked away from Nick." I hate you, Nick! I don't like relationships."

"Our thoughts on how to build this relationship are different, El. We must learn how to unite our vision and mission so that our relationship can last. I'm just asking you to hold off on a minute to publicize our relationship."

"Until when, Nick?"

"Until we are both ready and feel strong to stay together despite being attacked by those who do not like our relationship. Give me time to be in your world. And you also have to give yourself time to understand my world. Don't be in a hurry, El. So that we won't regret it later."

"Just your excuse."

"El....!" Nick held onto his girlfriend's shoulder gently.

"Go! I want to be alone!"

Nick looks upset. "As you wish." said Nick, you immediately left Elmira's room.

Seeing Nick leave her, Elmira becomes even more angry. He hoped Nick would persuade him as usual, but he decided to leave.
