Me And My Step Brothers
Warm talk

“ why don't you marry her soon and instead want to break up with her?” surprised Arnold.

“ to be honest, when he and I were in a 2-year relationship he wanted to propose to me. I mean marry me.” I said honestly.

“ then? Why don't you marry her soon?” surprised Arnold.

“ because at that time the word disagree came from my late mother. At that time I was in college and my mom wanted me to focus on my study.” I said honestly.

“ and even until now you have not completed your study.” said Arnold.

“ yes, before mama died there was an incident that I never thought would happen.” my words saw my father receive a wedding blessing whose sign father and mama Berta had officially become husband and wife.

“ events? What is it?” surprised Arnold.

“ do you know what happened to solo in 2014?” ask me.

“ solo? It is also one of the cities in Indonesia?” ask Arnold.

“ yes, it was the birthplace of my mother as well as the place where I was born and raised. Precisely in Java.”, I said.

“ what incident did you mean earlier?” wonder the Dutch-Balinese man, although it appears that his Dutch blood is more dominant than his Balinese blood.

“ do you know the typical shopping center solo?” ask me again. I tried to explain as much detail as possible because I knew than in Indonesia - this man was more often in the homeland of his late biological father.

“ erm..” looks like Arnold is thinking.

“ do you mean Klewer?” arnold guessed.

“ yap. 100 for my stepbrother.” said I confirmed.

“ then?” arnold moved from his seat.

Because the blessing has been done, the last ceremony is a typical Balinese ceremony to receive new members in our family.

“ shopping center that once burned great.” explained me.

“ what's with it?” surprised Arnold.

“ my mama had a kiosk in Klewer and when it burned, of course, our livelihood stopped. More or less at that time my father and mother were unemployed for almost half a year.” I explained.

“ ago because of that you didn't go to college for half a year?” surprised Arnold.

“ less than a year.” says.

“ what? Why?” surprised Arnold.

” because when I wanted to continue my college I felt something was wrong with my mom. His body takes care while I see if his stomach gets bigger and hardened.”.

“ who said your mama had cancer?”

“ yes, my mom has cancer in her uterus, and that's what makes her belly grow bigger. We are late to realize it because mama is afraid to check, so that when her body continues to weaken she only dares to examine her body in the health center or a practicing doctor who does not have a complete tool as a hospital.”.

“ mama want to check after being urged by her sister who is a doctor because she feels the symptoms my mother suffered have the same symptoms as my older brother who also has long died from the disease same.

And when you find out the disease, the disease is already very severe because it has reached stage 3B.”, I said.

“ mama opname the night before new year and died a few days after new year. I remember my mom even died at home because she didn't want to stay in the hospital for too long. He can even still clean the house before there is finally no.” my word stopped because of stuck sobs.

“ forgive me for bringing up the past.” said Arnold stroking my shoulder.

“ you look cold, no one would have thought if you turned out to be a warm person.” I said honestly.

“ what do you mean cold? You think I'm a refrigerator?” furious Arnold.

” I mean your personal cool so.” I said chuckling.

“ done, then why don't you continue your study?” surprised Arnold.

“ of course because we lack fees, my sister even dropped out of college because she chose to find work. I myself am still trying to find work but until now I can not go, that's why I sell through the online application.” said me.

“ brother? I only know your brother who came even briefly because of work, while I haven't even met your sister at all.” Arnold astonished.

“ him? He's having a cok check with a big family.” I said.

“ why?” surprised Arnold.

“ regular, maybe because he was the youngest child and always spoiled so when faced with parents he was a little disrespectful and even though it was Bali who was known to be free - but where my family was at the village environment that still understands custom.” said me.

“ so?”

“ yap.”

“ back to the problem earlier. Why haven't you been married for 10 years? If you say a word of disapproval comes from your late mama why don't you get married when your mama is gone?” surprised Arnold.

“ some say the wheel of life is spinning, right? When my mother died, the condition of my lover fell because of a wrong step.”, I said.

“ and why after all you want to end your relationship with your lover? are you getting bored with your girlfriend?” surprised Arnold.

“ between yes and no.” says.

“ yes and no?” hernia.

“ is not your relationship even clean if no more than a kiss?” surprised Arnold.

“ unfortunately my relationship with him is more than a kiss.” looks if Arnold's face is a little surprised when I say it.

“ really?” arnold said he couldn't believe it.

“ of course Brother, I am a mature woman with adult needs.” I said pointing at my chest.

“ then why do you still say bored and not enough?” hernia.

Hearing Arnold ask like that I looked to the left right hoping no one would hear my words and it just so happened that we both sat a little away from the crowd.

“ he is not good at satisfying me.” I said.

“ are you sure?” he said he showed his smirk smile.

“ yes, old man power. He always seduced me into wanting to play with me but he could only survive a few runs, sometimes even he did not do foreplay. I always lure him but he does not want to do more than once and even makes me more frustrated. Even I feel my hands are still more delicious than the game.”, I said.

“ parent?” hernia.

“ yes, me and him 10 years adrift.” I said honestly.

“ what? Really.” Arnlod said in disbelief.

“ yes.”

“ why do you want to be with him?” surprised Arnold.

“ before I never had a lover, of course because my mother wanted me to finish my study. But right when I started college I was getting bored with learning and learning activities, so I decided I wanted to express my feelings with someone. Coincidentally at that time I was close to my age friend and my lover now.” said me.

“ okay, I understand why you're getting bored with him. Then, what's the other reason-you want to end a relationship with him?”

“ I once said if he fell because of a misstep right?”

“ yes.”

“ do you know, almost in all the problems I was the one who helped him.”.

“ at first I just wanted to help him, but over time it was like a necessity. I have to help her! With the reason if married the problem is a joint problem.” continued me.

“ guy sucks.” he said.

“ sorry.” he said again when he realized if he spoke accidentally.

“ it's okay, if other people can feel that way, what about me? Even I couldn't buy what I wanted just to help her. And when I buy what I want, he calls me wasteful. He even scolded me when I was trying to help others.”

“ wow! Who is this? What right does it forbid people to do good?” surprised Arnold.

“ yes, the peak is when I intend to give my father a birthday gift. And at that time he needed money.” I said.

“ for?” surprised Arnold.

“ buy quota.”

“ ha ha ha? Even for a quota he asked you? He has no pride as a man?” arnold could not stop his laughter.

“ yes, angrily he came to me, threatened me and gave me a choice; bought him an internet pulse or broke up from him.”.

“ you asked to break up?” guess Arnold.

“ yap. I've been saving up for papa's birthday present, where maybe I messed it up just because of the internet quota. After that, he chose to go home and did not contact me for 4 months. I thought if our relationship really ended, I even walked with a man.”.

“ then?”

“ turns out he came in with anger because I hadn't contacted him for 4 months. She stamped me as a cheating woman.” I said with a crisp laugh. Between anger, anger and wonder.

“ wow! I can see your desperation from your laughter.” said Arnold who understood why I wanted to end my relationship with my lover now.

“ yes, so desperate was I-I to the point of laughing at myself. He gave me a choice between his stupid quota or breaking up, I broke up and he didn't call me for 4 months. If I assume if our relationship has ended and dating another man should not be wrong, then why am I on the stamp of cheating woman?” my growl.

“feel, if I can choose I want to move to Bali only. Unfortunately, I still have my goods sold in Solo because I do have a house there.”, I said.

“ why don't you just contract it?” surprised Arnold.

“ could have been if I wanted to contract our house. After all no one occupied it, my brother was already married in the capital and my sister was out of town. But again my stuff there is still a lot, so between selling it or bringing it to Bali. In the end, it is me who still has to be in Solo some time.”, I said.

“ hey! If I come to Solo, how?” ask Arnold.

“apa?”

“ I just want to help you.” Arnold said with his smirk smile.

“ help sell goods?” my wonder.

“ yes, just think so.”

And who would have thought if the purpose of helping my stepbrother had another purpose.
