My Brother
Ibnu

Tristan is now sitting with his parents and Dinda in the living room, they are all in confusion due to the disappearance of Naomi as if the girl was swallowed by the earth and completely unknown traces.

A few weeks ago Ricard abruptly canceled Naomi and Tristan's wedding. His reason? Naomi is not ready and wants to continue her education abroad.

It makes no sense indeed, considering from the beginning the girl was reluctant to go to school after graduating from High School, and suddenly he wants to continue his education when their marriage will be held approximately 8 days more.

Of course this had made Tristan's father angry and blamed the family of Naomi for the cancellation of a unilateral marriage that had tarnished the good name of the Tristan family.

I don't know, what is clear is that Tristan is currently experiencing a great confusion, because of his feelings that seem to oscillate in the two girls he both loves.

She loves and loves Naomi, but she also loves Dinda even if she is just a friend. However, he could not forbid Dinda to approach him because the man knew how much pain it would take for us to ignore our loved ones.

And when Naomi disappears like this, she just feels the pain of losing someone who loves us as sincerely. He regretted the existence of the girl who had been covered by the presence of Dinda at his side.

Wanting to find one, he did not know where to look. Leon could not be reached, as well as Maura who did not know the whereabouts of his best friend.

"Tristan, lupain by Naomi. Maybe you are not meant to be together," said Dinda who felt sick when she saw the friend she loved look so devastated.

The man looked at Dinda, he shook his head with tears welling up in his eyes. The man then glares deep into the incident where he unwittingly plays hot with Dinda.

Really, it's not Tristan's will. At that time he was sick, and Dinda gave a medicine 'which he said' to reduce fever. Finally Tristan swallowed the little blue pill.

And the changes he began to feel in his body. Since that incident, he regretted doing anything inappropriate to Dinda and hurt Naomi too deeply.

"I'm sorry, I can't forget Naomi. And I'm sorry, because I ruined your future. I feel guilty about it." Tristan said softly, he knew that at this moment Dinda was in terrible pain.

However, he also cannot lie to himself who cannot replace Naomi with another girl.

"I love you, Tristan ... Om, Auntie .. please tell Tristan how much I love her," isak Dinda pleaded with Tristan's parents to help her convince her.

"I'm sorry, Dinda .. All the decisions are in Tristan's hands. We as his parents only support and remind him if he made the wrong decision." Tristan's father gave understanding to Dinda, as well as his mother who supported whatever decision Tristan took later.

"Sorry, Din, I have to find Naomi again. Please, don't expect anything from me."

Tristan left after saying that. He will seek information about Naomi's whereabouts, no matter how far he has to walk, he must find the girl.

***

Five months had passed, and during that time Naomi was either handled by a female psychiatrist named Shera, or they used to call her Kak Shera.

Shera is the older sister of Riza.

It is thanks to Shera that Naomi can recover little by little. He is no longer so afraid of men, he can also control his own body and has full awareness of himself.

During this time Naomi had seen how sincerely Leon loved her, the man was so deft and painstakingly caring for Naomi. Leon also rarely takes shooting and shooting offers for brand ambassadors and so on.

It's time he dedicated it to Naomi. Fortunately, their finances are still well controlled thanks to a company owned by Leon who was once completely ignored by him.

He was so fond of the world of acting art, forgetting the company that was finally handled by Ricard.

At this time, Naomi was sitting casually on a swing in the park. He was waiting for Leon to come home from Ricard's residence because there was business to be resolved by the man.

Usually if Leon left the house, the man would come home with some snacks or fresh fruits, for which Naomi always waited to get the fruit of her brother's hand.

"Dad?" a call from behind shocked her, the girl turned her head and saw Leon standing there with a sizable paper bag in the man's hand.

"That's what, brother?" ask Naomi to Leon who inexplicably looks grim. Usually the man will look happy without burden until Naomi joined in smiling made him.

But now, her brother looked lethargic and reserved. Naomi is no longer a child or herself who still has a mental disorder as before. Now Naomi is healed and she can understand about Leon's situation that can not be said to be okay.

"Sister?" asked Naomi who had unwittingly Leon was near the man who was still standing sculpting it. His gaze was still empty, but from the eyes it implied pain and sadness.

What the hell's going on? That was Naomi's question.

Soon the girl snatched the paper bag, she was confused by a white wedding dress inside.

"Wedding dress?" ask Naomi who re-awakened Leon to the real world.

The man gasped, he changed his face to be happy. However, his smile still looked bitterly full of wounds that seemed to be so scratching his soul.

"Who will marry?" ok, this time Naomi felt herself so chatty. He asked a lot without giving his brother time to answer.

"You and Tristan are about to have a wedding, Dek! You're a grin, right?"

Now it was Naomi's turn to shut up. He didn't know what to react to. He loves Tristan, doesn't he? He should be happy.

However, what she felt was a big question mark for the girl. He just feels tight and ..- sick?

Yeah, he felt all that. Somehow we have to explain it in detail. Naomi is disappointed and ill when she learns that Leon is secretly preparing for her marriage to Tristan.

"I go to the room first, sister," said Naomi then just leave from there. After Naomi left, Leon wiped her tears that suddenly fell without excuse.

He is happy and grateful that the younger brother is back to normal again as before, he is also 'pretending' happy when he has to give up his younger brother with Tristan who looks serious with Naomi.

However, his pain would be lost he could not bear alone. He fell to his knees on the wide garden grass with small pink flowers.

Leon sniffled in silence there. She hugged the wedding dress. The wedding dress she prepared for her wedding with Naomi. The wedding dress that had been her passion to rise because it was certain that when Naomi recovered, the girl would wear it while at the wedding altar with herself as the groom.

Reality and fantasy are sometimes so much different, and that is also what Leon feels. His delusion does not match the reality that turns out to be very painful.

He had to let go of the sister he loved so much with another man. Let him endure this pain, let him swallow this bitter pill, and let time erode all these wounds. Leon will stand by to watch his loved ones happy.

Leon looks towards the flight ticket to Austria, he will start a new life there. Removing her feelings of love for Naomi and trying to put the girl on the bond she should have. Just as a sister, nothing more.

***

One month later the marriage was on the title. Naomi had been sitting at the dresser with a bride-to-be who was so deftly polishing her face to be so beautiful that Naomi could not recognize her own face.

There is also a Vebra who is now sluggish while playing his smartphone on the sofa. Several times the girl seemed to sigh violently as if there was a heavy burden on her shoulder that she was carrying.

Naomi saw her reflection in the mirror, no happy look there. There is only one dilemma that he knows the answer to.

He loves Leon. Not Tristan.

The girl cried until she made the fairy stop her activities. Vebra who saw that immediately approached Naomi and hugged the girl to calm her down. She knows very well that Naomi only loves Leon, and vice versa.

***

Tristan looked at the man older than her with a sliced look. Leon, the man who will soon be holding the status of his Brother-in-law looks very hurt and languish.

Tuxedo has been installed neatly, the appearance that always looks perfect is never absent from a Leon.

But today which should also be his happy day, the man actually looked very chaotic with a flat and disappointed facial expression.

"Sister," Tristan called slowly, the so-called man looked up. He got up from his seat.

"Yes?" leon asked trying to look tough. Forced the best smile expands. However, Tristan is too smart for him to cheat.

He remembered the mistake he had made, to two girls at once. Naomi and Dinda.

"Sister, I also did the same thing as Sister to Naomi. But the difference is, I'm too selfish, I'm more concerned with myself than the future of the girl I've taken away from her future." Leon looked at Tristan who said that in a bitter tone.

There were still many secrets that had yet to be revealed from this figure of the young man before him.

"Looking at how sincerely Big Brother's love for Naomi, made my heart tremble. I felt slapped when I found out that Brother didn't leave Naomi when she was depressed. And what I did .. was just the opposite. I feel bad for Naomi, and I feel evil for leaving Dinda with all the wounds I've given."

Tristan seemed to shed a single tear. Leon feels that the young man has a genuine love for Naomi, only that her guilt for Dinda is far greater than that.

"Sister, happy Naomi .. she only loves Brother, not me or any other man. I will try to fix myself to be better. Please ... keep him until the end of your age." Leon stared in disbelief as Tristan gave Leon his wedding ring box.

Tristan patted the older man's right shoulder, smiled with relief and greeted Leon with happy tears.

Leon cried full of tears, he hugged Tristan tightly and patted the young man on the back several times. Tristan smiled happily behind Leon's back, relieved to have done the right thing.

***

Naomi stepped slowly in front of the ruler when the husband finished saying the qobul ijab. The girl's thoughts were only centered on Leon, her older brother.

He felt guilty for not having the courage to oppose this marriage for the sake of his love for Leon. He continued to shed tears as the position of the penghulu and the groom got closer.

"Come, baby," said Tamara, leading Naomi beside her husband. The girl sat down without even looking at her husband, she endured the pain of a very happy day.

"You don't want to see your husband?" the man's voice made Naomi turn to her right side.

Instantly confusion struck the girl, until she finally looked around and her gaze fell on Tristan, Riza and Vebra who were sitting with happy smiles on their lips.

Naomi looked at Tristan, the man nodded faintly and smiled as he whispered congratulations to Naomi.

At once Naomi cried, smiling happily because she was married to the man she loved so much.

"Sister" Naomi looked at Leon. The girl cried happily with an occasional small laugh coming out from her lips.

"Thank you" he continued. Then kiss the back of Leon's hand, followed by Leon who kissed his forehead full of affection.

"Thank God" Tamara said, grateful to see her two children find their happiness.

Ricard patted Leon on the shoulder as his son bowed to him. Tamara hugged the beloved princess warmly, she prayed in her heart for the happiness of both of them.

***

Tristan returned home with a feeling of relief. He was happy because Naomi and Leon seemed so harmonious and happy. If the soul mate will not go where, said Tristan in his heart.

His footsteps led the man to a room with a light blue painted door. Room belongs to Dinda.

The man opened it slowly, and it looked as if a beautiful girl was making origami birds that he knew how much he had folded.

Origami birds with bright colorful colors, filled the floor of the room to the bed of the girl. Shortly after, Dinda looked up. Staring confused at Tristan who was suddenly at home when the wedding party was still held.

"What did you do again?" tristan asked quietly to Dinda who forced her smile.

Tristan miris saw the girl looked very hurt.

"For a thousand origami birds, people say if we make a thousand origami birds, God will grant our prayers" said Dinda, still folding the origami.

"What do you want from God?" ask Tristan curiously.

"I ask you to be happy in your new life" replied Dinda, who made Tristan's heart tremble. Is that how Dinda loved him?

"Let's do it together, so that I can keep you happy until the end of my breath" Tristan said, causing Dinda to immediately stop folding. He looked at the man with a confused look.

"Teach me love you, Dinda," Tristan said sincerely. Dinda smiled hearing that, before long the girl nodded steadily and smiled happily.

His wait has not been in vain. He gets the man he loves and the girl promises to try to make Tristan happy with him.

"Let's make it," asked Dinda while giving a pack of origami paper that has not been opened.

They both smiled happily and made the origami lovingly in the hearts of both.

Thank you, Lord-Tristan.

9 Years later ...

Naomi and Leon's domestic life is always shrouded in happiness, the more complete it feels when the birth of the family's youngest daughter.

Within nine years, Naomi had given four grandchildren to Ricard and Tamara.

3 grandchildren and a granddaughter who became the youngest of their extended family.

Of course, the four sons and daughter of Leon have a variety of traits.

Starting from his first son named Deon, the 8-year-old has a calm and calm nature. He was loving and always looked after his younger siblings.

Another with Nathan, his second son who is stubborn, at will, and cold. The 5-year-old prefers to play alone rather than hang out with his other siblings.

He will also be angry when Naira, his one-month-old sister is approached by another brother. His possessiveness dropped directly from Leon, his father.

While Rainer or commonly called Rai, is a cheerful child. He was only 2 years old, and behaved differently from his other two brothers when he was his age.

If Deon used to be such a quiet toddler, and a henchman. Another with Nathan who is always cold and irritable smile even though some people around him try to invite himself to play.

The contrasting differences between Leon's children, made the man have to be good at reading their characters one by one.

If Naomi has no significant difficulties, the others with Leon seem to still have trouble understanding them one by one. Moreover, sometimes their desires change erratically, making him have to spend more time for his family.

Leon has quit from the world of acting that has catapulted his name, he chose to develop a family business engaged in import exports, hospitality and tourism.

Nathan's possessive attitude towards the little Naira was shown when his sister was five years old, just when Tistan and Dinda visited their residence.

They brought with them their two sons, Darren and Marvin. Those who do not have a sister, so like Naira who looks so funny and adorable.

However, Nathan and Rai immediately take Naira because indeed they do not like if anyone touches or plays with Naira.

But, despite all that, Naomi's extended family is always surrounded by happiness that makes the woman always grateful to God .

Behind all the trials, there was a beautiful ending.

And now, he has been picking the fruits of his patience all this time.
