Finally opened the desk drawer located in the corner of his room,
his hand tightly held the photo that had been touched by Rafael earlier.
The girl in high school clothes is Ratih, that's Ratih.
The photo has been the ultimate drawer-dweller for years,
Finally obtained it from the family album, he took it silent when before moving out of Java.
" It's true what Ratih said, I am not worthy to be called his omnya." he lamented while looking at the photo of Ratih who is still a teenager.
" Over the years, this feeling of unworthiness never really goes away." put the picture of Ratih again in a drawer, then sat pensively in a chair next to the window.
" If you can't kill your feelings for your niece, and you're too cowardly to admit it,
you'd better marry the commander's daughter." Frans's words came ringing back.
He leaned back, looking worried, he,
it was impossible to continue this vague feeling, perhaps even clapping one hand, thought Pamungkas.
He must focus on improving the condition of Ratih and Hendra, then leave as soon as possible, or..
Closing both of his eyes,
" or I also have to get married immediately so that I am bound to other women and can keep my limits on Ratih." he said softly with his eyes still closed.
" Come?!" firmly Hendra on Iwang who sits quietly on his matic motorbike.
" dude? don't be like that?!" Ratih glared at his older brother.
" Eh, your eyeballs came out even though I was undaunted," Hendra replied to his sister.
" You?! come down and go home?!" adamant Hendra,
" mr Hendra?! she's my friend?! just my friend?!" Ratih did not want to lose, he did not want Iwang to get unpleasant treatment from his brother.
" No matter Ratih. indeed I should be polite from the beginning, I was not polite.." sidelines Iwang kalem, the man got off the bike and followed Hendra's steps.
Iwang sat as quietly as possible getting a provoking attitude from Hendra.
" I'm sorry if I feel like I've been disrespectful or even inappropriate." said Iwang,
Hendra looked at Iwang unfriendlylyly,
" Now explain to me, why is my sister coming home this late?".
Ratih and Iwang looked at each other, though,
" do you see each other? did you answer my simple question as soon as you got into trouble?" Hendra.
" I'm sorry, I and I rehearsed the dance practice." replied Iwang,
" yes, she's learning to dance, and we happen to have a dance performance every semester.."
" i'm dancing, haven't I explained that I'm dancing?! if you do not believe just come to school, Iwang and Iwang practice every time the magrib is finished," Ratih added, adding,
" to this late?" asked Hendra not to believe it,
Ratih growled, "dad thought classical dancing was easy?!",
" yes I know, I'm a technical person," replied Hendra casually making Ratih more upset.
" Don't make it difficult for Iwang mas?!"
" where there is.."
" then this?!"
" it's only natural, yes it's appropriate that I just keep quiet to see my sister coming home with a boy every night, while the man has no manners at all.."
Iwang finally bowed, though,
" I am guilty in the future I will be more polite." said Iwang,
" i forbid him to talk to you, so don't blame Iwang?" Ratih felt guilty for Iwang, because it was true that all this time Ratih prevented him from saying goodbye to enter the house.
Hendra again disturbed the ultimate sleep, he complained to his sister.
" I'll be home in a few days, while taking my things with me.." said Pamungkas, said,
" What if Ratih decides to get into a relationship with that man?"
" if your sister likes it, we have to be supportive.." Still on the pillow.
" I'm not sreg," replied Hendra quickly.
" Why?" ask slowly,
" that man is too gentle and submissive, can't guide Ratih?"
" so you want Ratih to get a tough guy?"
" ah! om this...? yes, I can't understand my heart..?" Hendra protest.
" Yahh. I understand what you mean. Never mind, it's midnight here,
go sleep..
we'll see you in a few days." said Pamungkas yawned.
" Yes, go to sleep.." Hendra terminated his phone connection.
But after Hendra turned off the phone, Pamungkas instead of falling back asleep, his eyes were wide open, his sleepiness was gone.
