My Dear Idol

My Dear Idol
Raflesia Arnoldi's


Annora walked leisurely towards her home. His irises stopped rolling on a luxury car parked in his narrow alley. His brain was wondering what was going on. He then moved his feet quickly towards his hut.


The sound of falling goods and the sound of fighting were heard. Annora immediately accelerated her pace. How surprised he was when he saw the brother was fighting with a person known to his idol subordinates.


"Athaya ..." call Annora, her voice is a little slow. He, being confused and trying to digest the situation that was in front of him.


Athaya looked at him. He approached his older sister and dragged her. Athaya stared intently at Haidar and Aaron. "My brother just got home. So, he's not going anywhere. You better go home!" his orders


Haidar shook his head in disagreement. "No! Our arrival is to pick up your sweet brother and the decision is in his hands. You have no right to forbid it" said Haidar.


Gigi Athaya was cracking with anger. He was furious and immediately threw a punch towards Haidar. Even unprepared Haidar must feel the strength of the raw bogem from Athaya in the abdomen.


Annora was shocked, and so was Aaron. Annora held Athaya's body back from hitting her again. Aaron keeps Haidar from falling and retaliates against Athaya.


Annora stared at Athaya. "Did I ever teach you to act like that to a guest, Athaya?!" Athaya silently did not answer, her head lowered. "Java!!"


"No-no, brother," he replied with a hint of fear.


Annora exhaled slowly to dampen her emotions. "I apologize and treat him." he ordered Athaya.


Annora turned her head towards Aaron and Haidar. He smiled kindly. "Please come in, let my grandfather take your medicine," he said.


Aaron and Haidar took a look, before finally nodding in agreement. The four of them then entered, the door of the house opened. Annora is afraid of causing slander.


Athaya pressed the stomach with a towel dipped in ice water. He deliberately pressed the stomach so as to make the master complain. Annora looked at that with a grim look. He then struck Athaya on the shoulder and looked at her sharply. Athaya smiled slightly.


Athaya returned the basin and towel to the kitchen. Annora looked at the two with a guilty look. "I'm sorry for my behavior, yes, she does have a temperament" Annora said in an apology.


Aaron shook his head slowly. "What's wrong, anyway, he's also resilient," he said. Annora laughed at hearing that. Aaron looked at him in wonder. "Is something funny?"


Annora shook her head. "Sorry," he said later. "What are you looking for me for? Did my brother and I make trouble?" ask Annora.


"No, it's just, we or rather he-" while pointing at Aaron. "- want to say thank you, so .. he intends to invite you to, yes, some kind of dinner, maybe (?)." clearly Haidar


Annora frowned in wonder, though her heart was flowery, and don't forget about her pounding heart. "It seems, it's not necessary. You're an important and famous person, must be very busy. Besides, I'm very grateful that you took me to the hospital and paid for the treatment" she said.


"Take it as a thank you, after all .. didn't you say that I'm an important person, right? So, you shouldn't have refused this important person's invitation. Is that right, Annora?"


Annora's cheeks met faintly, she slightly lowered her head to cover the hue of the face. He wanted to scream. Aaaa ...!! What dreams did he have last night to the point that an Aaron spoke his name.


"Hey ....?"


Annora raised her head. "If, that is your wish, what can I do" replied Annora who seemed resigned. He seemed to refuse, but he wanted to. Substantial.


Athaya came with two cups of warm tea. He put the cup in front of his sister's guests. He himself, anyway, would not mention the two strangers with a guest.


Aaron and Haidar then leave without drinking the tea that Athaya concocted. Of course this ignited the emotional flames of Annora's sister. Athaya stood up and pulled Haidar's shirt. Both Annora, Aaron, and Haidar were shocked.


Haidar stood looking at him. "Actually, what's your problem, Athaya Bima Atmadja?" asked Haidar, he actually already knew that Athaya did hold a grudge against him. But what problem, he doesn't know.


Athaya smiled curiously. "Like raflesia arnoldi, you're a rare species as well as rotten, yes. You pretend not to know after doing that?!"


"Please speak clearly."


"That hut, that old hut you just destroyed, is the only place where the kids go to get some basic knowledge. Actually, I don't really care. But, considering my brother made it, makes me care."


Haidar began to understand. So, this is because of the rickety hut that was knocked down yesterday? Hey, he didn't break the law because he bought the land. It should be, Athaya was wrong.


"It is precisely you who are wrong, Athaya," said Haidar while pointing at Athaya. "I bought the land legitimately, while you? Using it illegally."


Athaya stared hard at Haidar. The rich don't know themselves. He then hit Haidar again, this time on his cheek. Haidar also replied, although it was not appropriate.


"STOP IT!" yelled Annora, she looked at Athaya. "Please stop this, Athaya Bima Atmadja" he continued. Athaya knows, if her brother has already called her full name. Then it can't be bothered.


"But, Sister" Athaya's remark was cut quickly by Annora.


"Stop this stupid fight, Athaya. All we have to do is find a way out. Not jotos. Now, apologize and come in. You take it easy, they can still get some basic science" Annora said.


I don't want Athaya to come in. She, did not want to make her brother angry at her. Annora sighed. He looked at the two men.


"I'm sorry, sorry" he said.


Aaron, who had been silent, now raised his voice. "If you want, I can send them all to a decent school" Aaron said.


Annora smiled and shook her head. "Necessary, that's overrated. It seems, I can't drive you two to the front. Again, I'm sorry" Annora said before going back to her house.


...****************...


Annora opens the door to Athaya's room. He shook his head slowly when he saw the younger brother lying with his back.


Annora sat down on the edge of the bed. "Athaya, I know you're mad at them. But, Brother just doesn't want you in anything right," Annora said.


Athaya turned her body towards Annora. "But, brother, we can fight. We can't just be quiet" Athaya said quickly.


"Athaya, we're not what we used to be. My brother doesn't have enough money to buy that land. Everything, has changed ... since the death of the father," said Annora who managed to make Athaya speechless.


Annora took a long breath. "You remember what happened five years ago, right? We have been like those who have lost their possessions, but our nature has never been like those who are arbitrary. Athaya, didn't Brother ever tell you that money can talk and money can silence?"


"Athaya, now that land is his. We can't wear them anymore. From the beginning, we were just hitchhiking. But ... In order for all of them to continue to get basic education, you can tell them to have their school at home" Annora continued.


Athaya rounded her eyes. "No, I disagree. Kak .. that's right, dong, our home time. They are it, arghh ...!! It's so noisy and annoying."


Annora laughed at hearing that. "You have this, you have, tomorrow you bring them here, okay?" Listening, Athaya nodded.
