Marry Me, Brother!

Marry Me, Brother!
Chapter 7


"Be a strong and tough woman in order to lead your father's legacy company, Arin," Nathan said accidentally alluding to the Arin family that had died.


"Sister, I don't want any of that. Company or whatever it is, if only it could be exchanged for my family, I'd rather have my family back." Arin turned his gaze upwards, looking at the twinkling stars scattered in the sky that night. Imagining as if they were his dead family, they could gather together and look warm not like the one alone.


"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of them. Don't be sad we're still here, there's mommy who always defends you more and loves you more, there's Daddy who always puts up if something happens to you and the company, and, they already consider you like their own daughter. And there I am your brother, although you are troublesome but I would rather see you asking for my help than you doing something yourself." Again, Nathan rubbed the top of Arin's head and ruffled her hair slightly. "Don't be sad anymore. It's late, it's too cold outside for you" Nathan said.


"Sir .. Can you not consider me sister." The statement was thrown out of Arin's mouth.


Nathan frowned, "You mean? Should I consider you my partner?" Nathan chuckles.


What is funny about it, is not natural if a man and woman become a partner and again no blood relation whatsoever gets in the way.


"Married me, brother!" arin exclaimed with teary eyes. "Couldn't you? Don't make me your sister but make me your partner."


It surprised Nathan for a moment but then he came back laughing. "Do you think it's April and you can work me out on April mop" Nathan said, clutching his cramped stomach as he laughed.


"I'm serious brother. Can't brother marry me" Arin said firmly.


"You're too small to think about marriage. You better learn the right thing and be a tough woman to lead the company."


"No brother, I'm not interested in any of that. Take it all for brother, in Nathan's hands it'll go well and I don't want to be your sister, I'm all grown up and want to be your partner." After saying so with a little annoyance, Arin left Nathan still silent in his place.


What he said earlier, do not want to be a sister, then be a couple. "Why the girl" Nathan murmured. Didn't know he had just expressed his feelings to her again but dear Nathan still behaves the same as before.


Tomorrow morning. Today and so on Arin plans to bring his own car to campus and wherever he goes so as not to bother Nathan or others. He woke up early and was leaving before Nathan went downstairs.


Arin paces past Nathan's room. Going down the stairs carefully do not let out the slightest sound because he remembered from the beginning the man's hearing was very sharp.


"Finally safe" Arin murmured as her feet managed to tread downstairs.


"Where are you going, baby, early in the morning it's neat. Sit down, we wait for Uncle Mike and Nathan to come down" said Febby, who had just finished preparing breakfast.


"Ehhh no aunty, I'm leaving right away. I have morning lecture." Arin rushes to leave before Nathan goes down, he is still embarrassed and annoyed because last night.


"Wait son, you haven't had breakfast."


Arin turned around again and drank a glass of milk and picked up a piece of sandwich. "This is just aunty, I'll eat at college. Assalamu'alaikum ..," Arin said as he passed after previously kissing Febby's hand.


"Be careful, son," cried Febby. 'What's up with the kid, is Nathan making trouble again. It's not like Daddy warned her last night.'


Before long Mike and Nathan had been sitting at the dinner table without Arin present of course.


"Where's Arin? Why hasn't he come down yet?" ask Mike.


Febby kept quiet while getting food for her husband.


"Alright Dad," lazy Nathan. "In a troublesome girl," Nathan grumbled. Just now he pushed a little bit of his chair to get up but Febby prevented it.


"Arin left early this morning" said Febby.


"Why did he go so early in the morning, mom, did he have breakfast?" ask Nathan.


"Say he wants breakfast on campus. Something strange about him this morning? Are you guys in trouble, not that Daddy told you to be nice to Arin. Then what did you do to her?" Febby looked at his son full of question marks.


"No mom, no problem. Last night I also gave him the gift I bought for him."


"really? What did you buy for Arin, son?" Febby was excited to know what kind of thing Nathan had given Arin.


"Just a mom's necklace, I don't know what she likes so when she sees it it feels really good to her."


Febby and Mike looked at each other and smiled meaningfully. Didn't expect that their son was romantic enough as well.


"I'm leaving Mom, Assalamu'alaikum," Nathan said to his mommy.


"I'm leaving now too, baby. Assalamu'alaikum." Mike kissed his wife before leaving.


"Wa'alaikumsalam, you guys be careful. Go home before dinner" said Febby.


"Good mom, ready baby," Nathan and Mike replied simultaneously.


They also went to use their own car because their destination was different. Nathan to his own company and Mike too.


'A little more, the boy could definitely change his attitude towards Arin, ' Febby said in his heart.


While on campus.


Arin who does not have many friends just spend time sitting in class while reading books because there will be quizzes from lecturers later. Not because no one wants to be friends with Arin but he himself who is not easily close to others. With classmate Arin only say hello for a moment if met. Then if no man likes Arin, of course quite a lot. It's just that Arin who is quite quiet and shy makes it difficult for them to get close to the girl.


Only one person was seen with Arin after Nathan graduated college. He is a person who always accompanies and comforts Arin, although he is younger than Arin but he can always make Arin smile and laugh with his strange behavior.


Like at the moment. In his hand there are two favorite fermented milk Arin with strawberry flavor.


"Hi brother, this is for you." He handed the yogurt to Arin.


"Thank you, you know what I like best." Arin does have a unique habit when before starting college hours. Yogurt is for Arin like coffee that will make it fresh and not sleepy also makes Arin will be more focused on hearing the lecturer's explanation.


"Of course my beautiful and adorable brother Arin," his god gently rubbed Arin's head as Nathan used to do.


"Hi .. stop acting like that, however I am older than you. I should have done that to you." Arin didn't want to lose, he ruffled his friend's hair.
