My Brother
Rehab Finished

22

Naomi's health condition has begun to improve, she can now return home with Tamara who continues to hug her warmly.

"Don't get close, sister, Naomi is afraid of Big Brother" Naomi said honestly by hiding herself behind Tamara.

Leon forced his smile, he felt pain when he heard his sister feeling afraid of him.

"Son will not be evil anyway" said Leon softly. She tries to convince Naomi that she has changed, but she shakes her head. He couldn't believe Leon had turned into a good man.

"lik! I love Naomi's pain" replied Naomi, sulking like a child.

Mentally disturbed, he changed his temper to be like an innocent child who did not understand anything.

He also forgets who he is, only knowing that Leon has done evil to him and does not want to get close to the man.

"Silver is not evil, dear. Your sister did not intentionally hurt Naomi," Tamara said trying to give understanding to Naomi so that the girl was not more afraid of Leon.

"No, Ma ... The evil sister, Naomi, is still sick because of the evil sister" Naomi said, touching her lower abdomen. Leon shed tears when he remembered his depraved actions to the Brother.

The man decided to leave there and locked himself in the room. He cried and regretted his actions, guilt for the past made Leon's chest tight and sobbing deeper.

Maybe he was weak as a man because he cried to express his regret, but he did not care.

His room was soundproof, no one would hear even if he roared.

Only he and God know how devastated Leon feels to make it so bad.

"Sorry Sister, Naomi .. sorry," she regretted while staring at Naomi's picture frame.

If time can be repeated in the past, Leon prefers to marry Tristan and live happily with the man his sister loves.

He will take care of Naomi with all his might even though she will not be able to have it.

But regret is useless, it's too late. All Leon can do is try to be a better human being and correct his mistakes in the past.

He will accept Naomi and take care of the girl until she recovers as usual. And if even Naomi still can't accept it, she won't force the girl.

He will try the iklas despite the pain he will get.

Ricard knocked on Leon's room door, but the man refused to meet his father, choosing to remain silent and lie down with his right arm which he used to cover his puffy eyes.

Naomi sat on the swing behind Leon's house, there was an artificial lake and some flowers there. The swing was hung on a large tree on the edge of the lake, some vines attached to the tree trunk.

Naomi just silently stared blankly at the calm surface of the lake, her tears dripping back when suddenly the memory came. He felt the same pain again.

The fear that suddenly attacked made him tremble until he fell from the swing. The girl was crying, her memory had returned along with the growing fear and pain tormenting her.

He cried out with a heart-wrenching cry of grief, he was devastated and all his dreams of happiness with Tristan were gone.

Leon who heard Naomi's cries and screams, immediately ran towards the lake, ignoring himself who was not wearing a top at all. Only jeans that cover the lower body, because indeed he has not finished changing his clothes after bathing.

"Naomi," called Leon while holding the shoulder of the younger brother. The girl was shocked to see Leon in front of her, especially with the man's appearance that reminded her of the fateful incident a few weeks ago.

"Please ... don't get close .. I'm afraid" Naomi said as she pushed Leon's chest away.

It felt like he was very scared even just to come into contact with his brother. He felt disgusted at himself and felt anxious if he had to come into contact with Leon.

"Naomi, relax! Brother won't hurt you, please believe me, Deck!" Leon, who only had the patience of a paper-thin origami, immediately snapped at Naomi until the girl shuffled in fear and covered her ears.

The next second Leon realized if what he did was a big mistake, it could be that Naomi will be more afraid of him.

"Ambar!" leon shouted to his housekeeper, before how long a housekeeper of the same age as Leon came along with a nun named Sister Henna.

"Take Naomi into the room, take good care of her and avoid any dangerous objects or approaching the lake and pool." Leon spoke firmly to two women who immediately persuaded Naomi to return to the room easily.

The girl complied and did not have much contact. Leon just watched all of that in silence. It feels really tortured to bear all this, hated Naomi also haunted by past sins make it seem to be depressed.

He thinks it seems like the one who deserves treatment from a psychiatrist is himself, not Naomi.

***

Leon, Vebra, and Riza are on set. It is now a shooting break hour so used to eating coffee together in a gazebo close to the city park.

Coincidentally their filming location is only about 2 km from the city park.

"Where is Naomi?" ask Vebra while chewing on Leon's fruit salad.

"She doesn't want to be with me" replied Leon lethargic. Vebra patted Leon on the shoulder, encouraging his former fiancee.

"Ntar Malem finished filming, we stopped by Lo's house, wanted to look at Naomi." Riza requests permission from Leon who is also supported by Vebra. The girl had studied as a psychologist, although in the end she actually penetrated into the world of artistry.

So, he wanted to practice a little of the knowledge he got while studying psychology faculty.

"May, but Riza don't take Naomi too much, she likes to be hysterical if she's the same man." Leon gave understanding to them and embraced both.

***

Naomi stared in amazement at the rhythmic music box Fur Elise given by Vebra. The girl sat quietly with a view that could not be separated from the two white geese who were spinning slowly on the round box of white pink.

Vebra felt sorry to see the nasip experienced by Naomi, she regretted having hated the girl because it was felt Leon too numbering Naomi than himself, first.

Now, he felt sad to see the girl in front of him was like a mannequin, just silently pensively occasionally looking at him confused when talking.

He also sometimes changes his temper like a child who is so innocent, sometimes he can also turn into the figure of Naomi herself who is depressed and continues to scream hysterically to commit suicide.

And now, he turned into a mannequin, sitting still looking at the music box without shifting his focus from there. He did not care even though Leon and Riza slowly approached him and sat on the long sofa behind him.

Naomi sat quietly on the hairy carpet. He loved the rhythm of the music and the two geese dancing on it.

"Good huh?" vebra asked Naomi who was taken in by Naomi with a faint smile.

"If so you say dong to Leon if it's good and tell him to buy the music box," said Vebra who was replied with a confused look from Leon and Riza.

Naomi silently lowered her head, worried about Vebra's words.

The girl liked the music box, but she didn't dare to talk to Leon about buying it.

"Sister Leon is evil," Naomi told Vebra, the girl looking down at her former fiance who was bowed in lethargy. Vebra knew that Leon was also shaken inwardly, only that the man was trying to be strong in front of them to keep his image.

"No brother is evil to his sister, and everyone makes mistakes. So is Brother Leon, you, Brother Riza, and Brother himself." The Vebra began to slowly give Naomi understanding.

While Naomi began to think of Vebra speech that only slightly entered her brain, all she understood was Leon who would change well and would buy Naomi the music box.

"Sister ..," called Naomi quietly to Leon who sat daydreaming on the sofa, the man looked at his sister with happy eyes. Finally, for the first time, Naomi talks to Leon again.

"Yes?" leon answered trying to get closer, but Naomi immediately shuffled back. Made Leon stop his movement.

"You know this" said Naomi, pointing to the music box on the glass table next to her.

"Sister will buy whatever Naomi wants" Leon said confidently. He just wants to try to get close to Naomi, even though the girl will only approach him when he wants something.

It's okay for Leon, as long as he can hear Naomi's voice calling out to him.

"I want that music box" Naomi said softly. Leon nodded with a relieved smile on his face.

"Two million!"

"What?!" leon's strangles reflex when the Vebra pegs the price abruptly.

"Yes, that music box costs two million." Vebra pointed to the music box that had been embraced by Naomi, Leon felt like he wanted to throw Vebra into the artificial lake behind his house.

It seems like the girl took advantage of the opportunity in narrowness.

"Lunatic, huh?! Music box where it might cost that much. You think that music box is made of gold?" leon was upset.

"That's a special music box. Because the music box is Adek you want to talk to you again," said Vebra did not want to lose.

"The music box is at most four hundred thousand dapet!"

"Don't look at the shape of dong, Yon, see the benefits," said Vebra Sok dramatizing the situation.

"Nyesel I brought you here!"

Leon immediately took out his wallet and handed half its contents to Vebra who was immediately greeted with a happy laugh of the girl.

"Lumayan" said Vebra, fanning the money in front of Leon and Riza. "What other clothes do you want to bring, Dek?" ask Vebra then. Naomi seemed to think for a moment.

"Open your stall, Veb, in front of my house" Leon was annoyed at Vebra who was now counting money from him.

"May-be," the girl replied indifferently.

"Ck," decak Leon annoyed.

But the next second he smiled happily because Naomi who seemed to giggle amusedly saw herself.
