"Sister Jo, what exactly is going on? Why did Brother Yeri suddenly want me to come?" ask Vito who is still confused by the pickup made by Joana.
"Once again, I don't understand what he wants either. Maybe because he wants to talk about your college?" joana replied without taking her eyes off the crowded city streets.
Vito frowned in surprise, after a few days ago Yeri always just be indifferent and ignore it and say only want to communicate properly sister brother. Today she suddenly asks Joana to pick her up. Vito felt that there was something strange about this.
"Where are you going to go?" joana's real question is just making small talk filling the silence.
VIto who was busy with the bustling streets of the city immediately shifted his attention. "I will continue the scholarship.at least I will not count much on Brother Yeri."
"Ah, you are very mature minded in this matter. It's not wrong that Yeri often praises you as a good boy." Joana nodded her head.
"The late father always taught me not to trouble others. But in fact, I'm troubling you guys, instead" Vito said.
"Just relax, that's how the universe works. You and I are the same" said Joana, who made Vito more curious about what Joana said.
"Yes?" ask Vito.
"Yes, if you're a paid sister. Well, I'm a paid friend," said Joana who increasingly sparked Vito curiosity. He even turned his seat and now faces Joana although still with a seatbelt attached tight.
"Paid friend?"
Joana nodded her head, "Yes paid To. Yeri's father paid me and Silvi's doctor to be Yeri's friends."
"Why could that be? isn't it that humans will naturally make friends from their own socialization?"
"Yu for us who are normal, but not for Yeri who from Elementary School until his teenage years only he spent to shut himself up and distance himself from the association. How could he have friends?"
Joana then begins to tell Vito everything about how the soft-hearted Yeri lost confidence after Altez bullied her. Joana also tells how with him and silvi who then slowly turned into real friends because of the kindness of family and Yeri's gentle attitude. Now Vito began to realize something why his former teacher could have two different appearances at first.
"What's? so Kak Yeri's husband is the Altez that Brother told me about just now, which makes Bu Yeri become inferior?" vito asked mixed with annoyance.
"Yes, that was part of the therapy he went through. Do you know how therapy and hypnotherapy work?" joana asked Vito who certainly knew the answer.
"Yes, we will use the fear-causing medium as therapy and slowly eliminate that fear" he replied.
"Smart!" cetus Joana praised Vito's response.
"I know, because I also used to be in a treatment that can be said to be similar to that. I used to be phobic in a dark place, but now it's healed." Vito spoke without a burden which signified that he had not felt the fear of the dark place anymore.
"Then, if you are paid by Brother Yeri's father, what about me? Em, I mean my position in front of his family, do they know it or not?"
"Yet, if you are different. You, Yeri herself are the choice, while Silvi and I are the choice of Father and Mother. Slowly, Yeri will talk about this with her father." Joana's answer actually made Vito a little disappointed.
***
Arriving at Yeri's apartment, Joana immediately leads Vito to enter the flat. Vito actually still remembers the door code and also the floor where Yeri's flat is located. He honestly still remembers very much about the night where Yeri had asked him to accompany him to sleep.
"Hi!" yeri exclaimed who then waved when she saw the arrival of Vito and Joana.
"Siang Ma'am, this is Mom's order." Joana said hello and then put a brown package.
"Thank you." Reply Yeri with a smile.
No longer like when he first met when Yeri was just wearing chemise, today he uses a casual shirt, a t-shirt paired with black trousers. he looks fresher after dressing himself.
She dressed up to welcome Vito? What else is going on between him and Altez? just yesterday he was carried so mesraanya. Now then? Joana can only imagine and guess what is going on.
"Let's eat first and after this we just go" said Yeri while arranging the food on the dining table with his face that continues to emit a smile.
"Where are we going, brother?" ask Vito who finally followed behind Yeri.
"Au wants to go for a walk. At least fill your quiet day before you go to college, right?" He raised his eyebrows with a smiling face.
"So Joana can leave us a minute?" pinta Vito suddenly feels that something is wrong with Yeri's attitude.
"Oh, okay!" Joana doesn't ask much more. He just obeyed and gave the code ok with his hand teak.
"Why did you ask Joana to leave?" Yeri looked at Vito.
"Tell me exactly what is this?" Vito asked as if their ages were on par now and as if he was not Yeri's foster sister.
Vito shows his man side, he looks mature if he is like this. He pulled Yeri's arm slowly to sit on the dining table chair. Yeri only complied and the look on her face changed.
"News, what's up?" asked Vito gently, even his low voice even managed to shed the tears of Yeri who had been restrained earlier.
Yeri cried tears of joy, and repeatedly rubbed her own tears with Vito who continued to give her tissues. "The story, sharing is not bad" Vito said, continuing to wipe Yeri's hand he held.
Yeri did not refuse as Vito clasped his hands.The smooth and gentle movement of the hand wider than hers was able to bring comfort to her. He then slowly raised his face, presumably ready to start telling stories.
"I was wrong" he said on the sidelines of his cries held back by his trembling voice.
"Wrong what? What's wrong? vito did not understand.
