Only Raised Children
26. The Bad Environment

"Em, Rico asked me to move out of here, Bang," Alina said hesitantly.

"Why indeed? Is there something wrong with this house?" ask Alfian in surprise.

"Em.." Alina looks increasingly hesitant to tell him what Rico is worried about. He was afraid that his brother would also be worried like Rico if he knew what was happening to his neighborhood.

Not wanting to discuss it at this time, Alina finally diverted her brother's question on the grounds that he should immediately prepare to go to college. Alfian knew that Alina was evading his question, but he could not force her, especially when the time had also shown eight o'clock. Which is where less than an hour of his sister's college time is about to start.

As soon as Alina, Rena followed Alina to her room. He also has to prepare to go from there to his girlfriend's office to immediately solve his problems one by one, which will begin by telling Andi honestly.

Just as Rena got up from her seat, suddenly her back hurt. He complained so much that it made Alfian look at him in surprise.

"Why you?" tanyakanya.

"Em, not papa."

"You sure?" alfian asked to confirm because what he saw seemed like Rena was not okay with her body.

"Please tell Alina to change her mattress. My body ached all sleeping on his bed that was over three years old."

After saying so, Rena smiled faintly and soon passed from there. Actually he did not mean to say that to Alfian, but somehow his mouth was so presumptuous as to say what his brain was thinking.

After they finished preparing and Rena's order taxi also arrived in front of Alina's residence, they immediately got out of the rented house.

"It wasn't yesterday that the car your brother brought was different brands huh, Al?" rena asked as soon as she realized that the car Alfian was carrying was different from the last one she saw.

"It's a rental car, obviously different," said Alfian ahead of Alina.

Hearing Alfian's reply, Rena frowned in surprise. But he chose to say his words because he did not dare to ask again.

Rena walked up to her order taxi and was followed by Alina. Alfian decided to get into the car first.

"Be careful, Ren. Talk honestly with Andi. He will understand if you explain everything honestly" Alina said before they split.

Rena nodded her head in understanding, after which she immediately got into the taxi of her order. As soon as the car that took Rena away, Alina also got into the car and Alfian immediately drove his car to the campus of the sister.

On the way to his sister's campus, Alfian suddenly remembered the conversation his sister had with her boyfriend while at home a few minutes ago. He was very curious why Rico wanted Alina to move out of her current residence. It was impossible if Rico asked Alina who had lived there for many years to move for no reasonable reason.

Alfian glanced at his sister for a moment.

"Al."

Alina who was focusing on her laptop immediately turned to Alfian as soon as her brother called.

"Why, Bang?" ask Alina.

"You haven't explained to me about your move, Al. What are you hiding from your brother?" ask Alfian without further ado.

Hearing her brother's words, Alina had no choice but to tell her everything. Because after all, he would not be able to keep something from his beloved brother. Rather than Alfian knowing all that from others, it was better for him to tell her from the start.

"Yesterday Rico said he wanted to find a place to stay for Alina, Bang. Alina has rejected it, but Rico still insists. Alina also did not expect that she would soon find a place to live for Alina."

Alina bit her lower lip, she sighed for a moment before telling Alfian everything. About his neighbors who like to gossip about him who often brought his brother into his rented house. Moreover, Alfian often uses a different type of car, it clearly makes his neighbors think if he often invites more than one man into his house. Even Alina did not hesitate to tell if Rico had ever been the gossip of her neighbors there. Until Rico's parents are slandered as striped men for ever driving him home.

Alfian who heard the story of his sister looked very surprised. How could the people there think badly of her sister?

"When have they been gossiping about you, Al? Why didn't you tell me brother?"

"Sorry, Bang. Alina also just found out the news from Rico a few weeks ago. He told Alina that her papa had been accused by the people there of being a striped man."

"Gosh, Al. Why don't you just say it to Brother, honey. You keep it alone and it makes you feel useless know not. What if mom and dad knew all this? They will definitely be sad, dear," Alfian said with emotion. But there was no sound of yelling or volume coming out of his mouth. He was just an emotion of being annoyed with the people who had already slandered his sister.

"Bang, please don't tell mommy you're papa huh. Alina doesn't want me to think about this little problem. Alina please yes, Bang," said Alina in a pleading tone. Makes Alfian feel unbearable.

Actually, without asking, he wouldn't tell anyone about this. She wasn't that stupid to tell her parents everything about her sister here.

"Just calm down, you won't tell me about your mom. Then, how did Rico and his parents respond to the gossip?" ask Rico.

"I don't know what his papa is, but Rico asks Alina to explain everything. That's why Alina introduced Brother to him back then."

"And now he's asking you to move out of there?" ask Alfian again.

"Alina has rejected it, Bang, but Rico insists. He said the neighborhood there wasn't good for Alina."

"Yes, that's right" Alfian said quickly. To make Alina amazed to hear it.

"I mean Brother?"

"Such an environment is not good for you, Al. They're too involved in accusing you of that."

"But it's Alina's fault too, Bang, for never introducing you to the neighbors there. They finally had a bad prejudice."

"If they want to know, they should ask, Al, not even accuse the non-unlike. Anyway you have to move from there immediately, you will find a temporary residence for you as soon as possible."

"But, Bang...?"

"Why else, Al?" alfian asked in surprise.

"Rico has found a contract near Alina's campus. Does that mean Alina should reject him?"

Alfian just remembered that his sister had said that her boyfriend had already obtained a place to stay for her. That way he must first see what kind of contract Rico is looking for for his sister. This time he had to completely make sure everything was safe for his sister to stay even if it was only temporary. After all, comfort and safety were the top priorities he had to give to his beloved sister.
