The Bridesmaid
Fifty Five

Juna noticed that Ningsih had been silent since she picked up the girl at her campus. Juna felt that something was happening, wanted to ask but he paused because he saw Ningsih's expression that was like worrying about something.

Even until nightfall, Ningsih remained silent without even talking to Juna. Se-di-kit-pun. As Juna asked something, Ningsih simply moved her head shaking or nodding. That's all!

Juna who felt a little annoyed because Ningsih had inhabited and seemed to think it did not exist, finally he chose to block the hand of Ningsih who intended to step into their room.

"Si, what's the matter? Same story, brother! Sister tired of not knowing, since you inhabited Brother continuously" Ningsih closed his eyes for a moment before facing Juna.

Ningsih was actually hesitant to tell Juna. However, Juna and Noval are cousins. It seems very unlikely that Ningsih told Juna that Noval intends to keep Ningsih and fight for her even though she has become Juna's Wife. Ningsih did not want any dispute between the two. He also did not want to be the cause of the breakdown of brotherly relations atara Noval and Juna, although it was not because of his wishes.

"They?! What's up Hmm? With your silent gini, Big Brother feels you have not been able to accept Big Brother completely. You are still hesitating open to Brother" hearing Juna's words, tears dripping down his eyes.

Ningsih shook her head "It's not that, brother! I'm just....."

"what's free? just hesitating?" juna asked piercing.

Without answering Juna's question, Ningsih rushed into the man's arms. But unexpectedly, Juna did not return her embrace, making Ningsih tighten her cries even more.

"I'm disappointed in you!" juna said as she let go of Ningsih's embrace and climbed the stairs to her room.

Ningsih remained silent. He squeezed his hair rough, because he really felt confused. If he tells Juna, Ningsih is sure Juna will be furious with Noval. But if you choose silence, Juna will consider it has not fully accepted his presence.

"What should I do?" saddenedly. Ningsih sat on the floor with her tears still flowing. While in other places, Juna chose to lean his body on the head of the bed. Actually he did not want to do this to Ningsih. It was just that his heart was too disappointed that the girl was playing secrets with him. He could not bear to see Ningsih crying, but Juna felt it was right to do so to give Ningsih a little lesson, at least until the girl would be honest with him.

Hearing footsteps towards her room, Juna hurriedly laid her body and closed her eyes pretending to be asleep. Juna felt someone climb into the bed, then before long a hand gently stroked his hair.

.....................................................

Ningsih sighed softly seeing that Juna was already asleep while turning her back to the door. He approached, stroking Juna's head gently.

"Sorry Sisi, Brother! Sisi had no other choice but to transfer everything to Big Brother. Ningsih just does not want the relationship of Brother and Sister Noval tenggang. Sisi knows how close you've been. He often told Sisi, when his parents were busy with their business, only Big Brother always supported and paid attention to him. He also used to tell, it was Brother who helped him when moving to the boarding house because he was lazy to always be left alone in his big house. He always said he was proud to have a big brother in his life. That's why I'm afraid that if your relationship drifts away just because of me" Ningsih said alone, sometimes his eyes imagined when Noval proudly told him about Juna.

"I'm afraid Brother will fight with Brother Noval. Moreover, Kak Noval's condition is more emotional, making him look like someone else" Ningsih still faithfully told a story while stroking Juna's head. He doesn't care if Juna doesn't hear it.

"Side is dear to Brother, and Brother should not hesitate about it. But on the other hand, Sisi thought about Sister's relationship with Kak Noval later" her tears came back. Honestly Ningsih was sad to see Noval, because however the man must have been very hurt, even though Ningsih did not do it on purpose.

Ningsih was shocked as someone held her hand that was on Juna's head. His eyes were rounded as Juna woke up from his sleeping position. 'don't tell Kak Juna to pretend to be asleep' his inner self.

Juna smiled, finally he knew the reason Ningsih chose silence. So about Noval again? deservedly. Although he did not know what kind of perspective Noval said to Ningsih, at least Jina already knew the outline of the cause of Ningsih's strange attitude.

"Sister.....Brother.not sleeping?" tanya Ningsih stammered. She was afraid that Juna would hear everything.

"Sister..heard everything?"

Juna nodded. "Sister, Sisi hopes that Brother will not be angry with Sister Noval. Sisi...fear you are fighting" Pinta Ningsih pleaded.

"why? you're afraid Big Brother punched your favorite guy's cheek?" ask Juna sarcastically.

Ningsih shook her head slowly. "No! That's not it" Ningsih replied honestly.

"continue?"

"I'm. I'm afraid your relationship is moving away. During this time, Brother was the one who was always proud of Kak Noval. Because only Big Brother is always beside her and always helps her. He loves you very much, and I'm sure you love him too. I don't want to because of me. You guys got into a fight" he said everything he feared.

"But that's not normal? I just want to keep my wife. Is that wrong?" argue Juna.

Ningsih shook her head "no! it's not wrong! it's just.... can't we solve the problem with a cold head?"

Juna breathed a rough sigh. It is true what Ningsih said. They can solve this problem well. After all, he could not bear to fight and fight each other violence drngan Noval who is none other than his own favorite cousin.

Juna loved Noval. He already considers Noval like his biological brother, as well as his parents. They never discriminated their affection for Juna and Noval, because they knew that Noval lacked parental affection from when she was a child. Noval has been living with her workaholic parents, not one bit of time aside with family. That's what makes him prefer to live in a boarding house rather than in a luxurious house like a palace, but not a little warmth there.

"alright. Brother will try as much as possible to solve the problem with a cold head. But you have to promise one thing" Ningsih sighed softly after Juna confirmed her request. However, his brows furrowed in confusion because of the man's next sentence.

"what?" tanyanya.

"you can't go back to being tempted by Noval"

Ningsih laughed hearing that. "Hahahaha, Big brother is nothing! yes, it is impossible" he said.

He took Juna's hand, bringing it into his small hand.

"Sister, Ningsih has promised to accept brother. And slowly Ningsih began to love Brother. Honestly, my feelings with Sister Noval may be at least still left, but I'm sure everything will be erased in a short time" he said convincingly.

"For me, that big brother is not the kind of person that is hard to love. Brother can easily make others fall into the charm of Brother" he said honestly.

Juna snorted softly hearing it "continue why didn't you fall in love with big brother from long ago?"

"because I'm aware of the position. How could I love my cousin's boyfriend" he explained by slipping a little bit of a satirical tone.

Finally, the two chatted a lot, throwing jokes at each other, mocking each other, even insinuating each other.
