The Between Two Brothers
Aruna and Nadira to London

Sutton, Elane and Hasanah's residence

Hasanah came out of the room after performing night worship and saw Elane looking dreamy looking out the window of her house. The girl's grandmother approached her granddaughter.

"What's Elane? Why do you look so nervous?" ask Hasanah.

"grandmother..." Elane's pretty face looked gloomy.

"Can you tell grandma?"

Elane turned her face to the window showing the bustle of the Sutton area at dawn this morning.

"What about Eagle?" guess Hasanah.

Elane nodded.

"She asked you out?"

Elane shook her head.

"Will she ask you out on a date? Why?"

Elane smiles. "Not Nek, Eagle wanted our relationship to be closer but ... God, only this time I met a man who casing bule but attitude is very polite."

"Sopan how's Elane?" asked Hasanah who also knew how Eagle behaved to him because several times met to take a lot of pastry and Elane's car was not enough.

"Sir, if Eagle wants to ta'aruf how?" Elane looked at Hasanah.

"Seriously? Eagle said that?"

Elane nodded. "Say from now on, he won't see me and will be mediated by his mother or his older sister..."

Hasanah was moved to hear Elane's words. "Goddess, Elane. We know who Eagle McCloud is and grandma didn't expect that man to have such a thought. Then he has a lot of respect for you Elane."

"Eagle said he had great respect for his mommy and his older sister so he didn't want to ..." Elane held onto her chest that felt tight. "Is he really my soul mate, Grandma?"

"Have you prayed a third of the night?" Hasanah held her grandson's hand.

Elane nodded.

"And?"

Elane just looked down. His thick black hair partially covered his face. "I saw... Eagles."

"But you still want to convince yourself, don't you? It's natural to do that, Elane. If God has guided you, never doubt Him."

Elane looked at Hasanah. "I don't doubt but my heart must be settled first, no, Grandma?"

"You're right. But grandma's sure, you're gonna get a fix of the heart." Hasanah hugged her beautiful granddaughter.

McCloud's House Today

"So? Mommy and your mom came to London?" tanya Aruna along with Nadira on a video call along with Eagle.

"Yes. I know it's like a late ta'aruf but I want you to judge Elane yourself. Who knows how I'd both of you besides Daddy" Eagle pinta.

"Dira, how are you?" ask Aruna to her daughter who is holding Biana.

"I have no problem flying to London for a week. It just so happened that it was still midterm so Bia and I went there with you Mom. Mas Pedro is having a case" replied Nadira who is also a lecturer at Maryland University.

"Your Daddy also seems okay to be left for a while in London. There's Joey, Rama, Abi, Benji and Pandu in New York." Aruna looked at Eagle again. "E, mommy likes it this way. Her name is you respect Elane."

"Thank you mom."

"We'll leave tonight, Dira, let's get to London in the morning."

"Yes, it took eight hours to get to London. I had a conversation with Pedro's mas."

"Mommy is also negotiating with your Daddy but is sure to give permission. For the sake of the daughter-in-law" Aruna smiled.

London Three Days Later

Elane sees Aruna coming with the beautiful woman she believes is Nadira, Eagle's older sister.

"Assalamualaikum" Aruna's greeting makes Elane approach Rajendra McCloud's wife.

"Wa'alaikum salam. Welcome, Aunt Aruna" said Elane while kissing the back of Aruna's hand.

Aruna hugged the beautiful girl. "This is Nadira, Eagle's sister and this beautiful toddler Biana."

"It turns out you are beautiful compared to the photo given mommy" Nadira smiled. "Hello I'm Nadira" said the beautiful lecturer while hugging warm Elane. "Bia, come on Salim was with Aunt Elane. Looked like Oma was wearing a hijab. Beautiful again."

Biana looks shy to see Elane, a typical child who has just met a stranger. Biana's head was placed in the recess of her mother's neck and her brown eyes were staring at the face of Elane.

"It's still a shame, Bia? No papa, later out of cake, Bia will not be embarrassed anymore" teased Elane while stroking the cheek of the puffed Biana.

"Lho Elane, are there any guests who are not invited in?" hasanah Tegur. "Let's go in, I'm Hasanah, Elane's grandmother."

Aruna kissed the back of Hasanah's hand. "I'm Aruna, Eagle's mother and this is Nadira's sister." Nadira did the same with her mother to Hasanah.

"Geez, I didn't expect the Sultan's family to come here" said Hasanah. "Let's go in, let's just talk inside."

Biana looks sumringah saw a variety of cute pastry provided by Elane make the beautiful toddler was excited.

"Mommy... Bia wants to" said Biana.

"Which one do you want?" ask Nadira.

"The bunny."

Nadira also gave the rabbit-shaped cake in front of Biana who began to scoop the cake after her mother put an apron on her chest so that her clothes are not dirty.

"Elane.." call Aruna.

"Yes Aunt."

"Do you know what Aunty and Nadira came here for?" asked Aruna softly.

"Yes Aunt. Eagle told me."

"To be honest, Miss Aruna, I salute your son. Mature-minded and well-mannered." cut Hasanah.

"Yes, Miss Hasanah. Eagle is not a child who likes to spread the charm even though it can. From childhood, the boy was very cool. Many of her female friends from her elementary school days to college were after her but Eagle remained a refrigerator." Aruna looked at the two women of different ages in front of her.

"Eagle once dated a public prosecutor who now lives in New York High School. His name is Marisol Braga but both of them have high egos, eventually their relationship ended" said Nadira.

"Is Eagle still in contact with Marisol?" ask Hasanah.

"No, because now we're close to our cousin, Nelson Blair, who's a lawyer. Eagle and Marisol break up well knowing their relationship won't work because other than differing beliefs, their passion works differently." Nadira smiled at Hasanah.

"It's not worth thinking about who Eagle's girlfriend is because after breaking up from Marisol, she's on her own and would rather devote all her energy at RR's Meal London" Aruna added.

"So, what else do you want to know about Eagle?" ask Nadira.

"Sorry I asked but is Eagle serious?" Elane looked at Aruna and Nadira hesitantly.

"What are you afraid of?" asked Aruna without a stale base.

"Social strata difference."

Aruna and Nadira looked at each other.
