My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)
Mama Mila's Support

"I'm sleepy, you take care of this" whispered Leo.

Leo just left the kitchen and passed the woman who had caught Leo and Sera wet in the kitchen without the slightest fear and embarrassment.

The woman gawked through without even bowing her head. Syera who was still standing in front of the refrigerator door was nervous as the woman who caught her looked questioningly at her.

Syera followed the woman as she returned to the room and prepared for all the words that would be spoken to her.

Clamps!

Syera locked the room door and sat down in front of Retno's aunt who saw her action and Leo in the kitchen a while ago.

"Tell aunt why you guys are like that. Did Mr Leo force you? If yes, why can? Didn't Mr Leo hate you so much all this time? Then why not just scream? Are you so afraid that you'll accept all of his treatment of you?"

Retno's aunt's questions repeatedly made Syera confused to answer which one first.

"Aunt Retno misunderstood, not like that, bi."

"Where is that right? Are you that stupid, huh? He's your brother and you're his sister. Why shut up when Leo does?"

"She can't, bi."

"Why?"

"Because Syera likes him" replied Syera.

Slowly Syera begins to tell about her and Leo who are not actually siblings, about Wulandari and her current relationship with Leo. Aunt Retno could not stop gaping at the explanation from Syera. It was like he was hearing the story of a film whose ending could not yet be known.

Retno's aunt also felt sorry when she heard the news about Wulandari having to leave Syera on the day of their first meeting after several years and wiped away Syera's tears that fell while telling stories.

"That's a pity for you, son. You have to be strong, right?"

"Yes, bi. Although very sad but Syera is grateful to at least be able to see the face of my mother even for the last time.

"So you and Leo aren't siblings?" ask Retno's aunt to clarify without using 'master' frills when mentioning Leo's name.

"No, bi."

"Do you and Leo really love each other? Didn't Leo hate you all this time?"

Syera scratched her head that was not itchy. He is also confused as to how Leo can like it so much but that is the reality that exists today. Syera smiles shyly at Aunt Retno.

"Well answer?" insist aunt Retno.

"Syera doesn't know either, bi. It is clear that Leo's brother is very dear to Syera."

Syera brought her face to the ear of Retno's aunt whispered so that no one would hear when there were only two of them in the room and the door was also locked.

"Sister Leo even once cried because of his feelings Syera ignored," whispered Syera.

"Why can't you like it too?"

"At that time Syera did not know that Leo's brother was not the older brother of Syera, bi."

"Tu-wait, you mean he liked you when you were his younger brother?"

Syera nodded her head timidly.

"You're like that too?"

Syera nodded her head again confirming Aunt Retno's question.

"But Syera did not show because Syera knew it was wrong. It's just that Leo's brother couldn't help his feelings, so he blatantly told Syera."

Retno's aunt's neck strained at Syera's confession. Aunt Retno realized that the girl really had a lot of things she was hiding.

"Already, sleep. Aunt's neck was tense hearing that. Young people today, there's-there's just the behavior."

Aunt Retno sleeps on Syera's back, she is not out of thought with the reality she hears. Seeing Leo's courage in the kitchen, Retno's aunt could not imagine Leo and Syera living together in the apartment.

"Child today knows no place. Not in the kitchen or swimming pool, as long as there is a direct opportunity of execution," said Aunt Retno.

Retno's aunt's words made Syera surprised, she thought that Retno's aunt also saw the incident while in the pool.

"Did auntie see what happened in the pool?" tanya Syera hesitated.

"Thank you, bi."

Syera hugged Retno's aunt who was on her back. She was grateful that she didn't tell him what Leo was doing to her in the pool. Had aunt Retno complained, the story would probably have been different by now.

..........

The next day, all of them take a walk to visit the tea garden, to places that are usually visited by many people when visiting the top. They spend the whole day really on vacation.

There are many photos that they capture from their activities all day. At five o'clock in the afternoon they just returned to the villa.

Fandy deliberately asked Mama Mila to use the same car with him while Syera and Leo were in the car driven by Mr. Asep, Retno's aunt was sitting next to him.

Arriving at the villa they immediately clean themselves because the more afternoon it will be colder.

Fandy stopped his car midway to the villa and spoke seriously to Mila's mother for the umpteenth time.

"Fandy is serious, ma. Fandy just needs the support of mom. Fandy can not insist on the same mom if Fandy does not really like and love Syera, ma. So please this time, ma?"

Mila no longer knows what to say. Fandy has been a very good child, obedient and considerate to her especially since her husband died. Fandy did his job as a kid well all along.

Mama Mila's heart melted with Fandy's sincerity and patience. Although he can act as he pleases, Fandy still appreciates him as a parent.

"do it. You are an adult and you cannot forbid it anymore, especially regarding your future. You know better what's best for you."

"So mom agrees and supports Fandy?"

"Yes, honey. Mama agrees."

Fandy hugged Mama Mila, he was really relieved. His patience asked for the blessing of Mama Mila now he cantongi. Fandy is happy, happiness with Syera who has been his dream so far is one step away and he will do it tonight.

..........

Echem...

"Why outside, the air here is so cold later you can catch a cold."

"Awhile, brother. I want to enjoy the cool air at night."

"Keep Leo what's going to come here?"

"What else do you think? I need ammo. My ammunition is almost over. Moreover, all day seeing you close to Fandy and touching you made my energy absorbed a lot" leo murmured.

Leo approached Syera to the cottage and sat on the left side of Syera. All day they only interact a little because Fandy always stick and take Syera where he wants. Leo felt patient enough all day especially when he saw Fandy several times embrace Syera to take a photo with him.

"Sister, don't be like this. There's a lot of people here. If anyone sees anything else?"

Syera dodges as Leo embraces her waist and drops her head in the recess of Syera's neck.

"This place is so romantic, don't waste this kind of atmosphere. This kind of atmosphere we won't meet in the city."

"Yes, I know, but if anyone sees it again like last night, how about it?" pushing Leo away from him and removing Leo's hand from his waist.

"Hehehe... Are you so afraid of being discovered?"

"Yes obviously scared, brother. Slide, don't put down like this" Syera's protest held Leo's body a distance from her.

"Eat him do it now." Leo pursed his lips to Sera.

Syera knows that Leo will not leave before his wish is granted. Syera cursed him because the man she loved could turn into a fool and a child, different from the Leo she had always known.

"But promise is only a moment and don't do it like last night. Syera does not want and will be angry if Leo's brother is like that again" Syera warned.

Syera closed her eyes for Leo to do her wish and went straight back inside the villa.

Mama Mila who was tired all day chose to rest for a while while Fandy just finished cleaning his body under a shower of cold water.

"Geez!"

For the third time Aunt Retno must be in a situation she never wanted. His intention to walk in the courtyard of the villa that is overgrown with flowers even have to watch the show of two lovebirds who are combining love with lips that blend.

Retno's aunt shut her mouth and chose to stay away, sitting on the porch of the house just in case someone passed by and was going to the cottage where Syera and Leo were.
