OLD LOVE HAS NOT YET EXPIRED
CLBK~114

Mentari asks Zio to go into the room while he brings Lidya into his room. Mentari was really made to be surprised by Lidya's very different appearance. I don't know what was on his sister's mind so suddenly put on this seasonal outfit and make Zio think that it was him. Mentari has never dressed that season.

Mentari and Lidya sat on the edge of the bed with Lidya constantly lowering her head. There was a sobbing sound from the girl until Mentari was more confused.

"What actually happened? What made you dress like this?" ask Mentari.

Lidya shook her head, slowly raising her face and saw her cheeks wet with tears.

"Sorry, I don't actually intend to dress myself like this. But .. I feel tired, brother. All this time I've always got a bully just because my appearance is too cute. My father and mother always forbid me to show my beauty, even though I am very beautiful. What's this really about?"

An expression of Lidya's heart immediately made Mentari understand. This sister bore the mental burden of bullying that she experienced because of her appearance that looks so cupid and impressed hick. Mentari himself knew since childhood Lidya was a very beautiful girl, but both parents tried to cover her beauty.

Mentari brought Lidya into his arms, his sister crying on Mentari's chest with a voice that sounded so soft.

"Maybe you don't know, but this is a dark secret that your parents are trying to hide. You used to have a sister, don't you remember that brother of yours? He was the age of Kak Tari loh," asked Mentari he was curious if both parents Lidya would tell his brother.

Lidya instantly released a hug and stared confusedly at Mentari. Lidya vaguely remembered the figure of the woman who used to play with him when he was still in elementary school.

"I only remember one brother, Mentari. But I suddenly remember playing with one beautiful sister, was she my sister?" answer Lidya and throw the question back.

Mentari knew that Lidya had an accident and felt traumatized. He is not amnesiac, only that his trauma was eliminated by hypnotic therapy by a psychiatrist and made Lidya forget most of his past stories.

Mentari pulled Lidya back into his arms. There was no sound because if he were to continue at this time, he was worried that Lidya would have a headache if it forced him to remember. He took off his arms and stood up and took his glasses and comb and Lidya's hair tie.

"You know, baby, there's a beauty that's better hidden than displayed. There are beauties that bring happiness and there are also those that bring misery" Mentari said while combing Lidya's hair.

Lidya who did not understand could only quietly listen. She knew her brother would give her good things.

"It used to be in our village, there was a woman the age of a sister. He used to be so familiar with us that you consider him a big brother as well. She's so beautiful, just like you. It's just that the number of people who praised her beauty made her forget herself and when she was a teenager — exactly she sat in the second grade of High School, her beauty made many men want her.

"She enjoyed all the compliments that came to her until she finally got into a relationship and it turned out that their relationship even made her lose her chastity. He was spun and made a lustful satisfier of striped men at a young age. It all starts with beauty and praise and promiscuity. And finally he chose to end his life because he could not bear the shame and humiliation of everyone in the village."

Zio who had been listening from behind the door felt more and more in love with Mentari. Maybe this is the reason Mentari is very caring for himself and had hated men who like to play women like him.

I am grateful that God supported my plan and made that good woman my wife. How lucky I am to have you, Mentari.

Zio then returned to his room, he did not want to eavesdrop on the sisters' more talk. There's something important he has to finish.

"So, is it possible that this is the reason my father and mother hid my beauty, brother? Just hearing it made me shiver. I'm scared, Brother. Am I going home? People say life in the city is very harsh and scary. A lot of free association, I'm afraid. But I also want to continue my education to be a kayak scholar Kak Tari," asked Lidya who began to feel restless, innocent and still very innocent girl like — let alone she came from the village, I would be very anxious to face such a situation.

Mentari smiled, he knew that his sister was still as innocent and pure as that. Maybe because of his tiredness during this abuse, making Lidya feel that his appearance should no longer be hidden.

"Don't do that, it's important to set your goal to study and get a college degree. Do not be dizzy with the words of people because they will have no end to talk about the lives of others. You have two hands that can't cover all their mouths, but you can use them to cover both your ears. Rest assured, hidden diamonds like you are only the best people who will get it" Mentari said giving advice and comfort to his sister.

"It's done!" exclaim Mentari after finished braiding Lidya's hair. "Sister sister should be able to look beautiful because of her heart only and surely later the person who will get you will be very proud because your heart is beautiful and the surprise is that you have a very beautiful face," he then kissed the top of his little sister's head.

Lidya smiled happily, Mentari's speech again made him motivated and he strongly justified the speech. Lidya then turned around and hugged Mentari. He is very grateful to have a brother as good as Mentari, a brother who is very good for his sister and always tries to take care of him.

"Thank you, Brother. I love you so much, brother. Now I understand and you should immediately go back to the room because your husband is waiting" said Lidya after she let go of her embrace.

Mentari smiled, she was very happy with Lidya's joy like this. It rises in his mind to make Juan fall in love with his beautiful sister. For Mentari, only a figure like Juan deserves to love his sister. Juan had a pure love as well as Lidya.

I will discuss it with Zio, maybe he agrees, muttered Mentari then he came out of Lidya's room and rushed to find Zio.

Inside the room, Mentari saw Zio who was already sound asleep. He climbed into his bed, which only fit two people. For a while he looked at Zio's face then he approached his face about to kiss Zio's forehead but he was actually made shocked because suddenly Zio pulled his nape and so they kissed.

Long enough until Mentari patted Zio's chest because he already felt out of stock of air. Mentari's face reddened, he felt cheated by Zio but he had not had time to protest, Zio immediately turned things around and now Mentari was under his confinement.

"Damato!!"

Zio placed his index finger on Mentari's lips and said, "Shut up and enjoy!"
