The Child I Called My Brother

The Child I Called My Brother
Why is! anything on?


At lunchtime, Nelly met her sister, Lian, at their family's company, and wanted to take her to lunch and talk about Daffa.


As it gets more and more seen, the boy seems to have something that makes Nelly unable to turn away from him. If only because her sister was the most important part of her sister's life until this moment, what might arrive at her sister could affect their lives.


Though it was clear, Nelly did not know what the reason was underlying it. If it's because of guilt! But guilt for what? Really all those questions made Nelly dizzy on her own and instead it was time for Lian to tell about the woman named Sena.


" During the day, are you busy?" Nelly said, the woman stepped into Lian's room without knocking on the door first, then sat down before the man who was focusing on staring at the screen of her laptop. With the right hand moving the mouse and the left hand rubbing the temple using his index finger.


The man took a quick glance at Nelly, then refocused on the screen that displayed the graphs as well as the numbers and everything**** - a whimper that was able to make people not understand it was a headache.


" What's up, brother?" Lian asked, Without answering Nelly's greeting or question, even he did not look at Nelly while talking, because he was too busy with his work.


" It's mealtime and my sister wants to take you to lunch and pick Abel up at school." Replied Nelly, while looking at the room that once occupied the father first.


" I'm sorry brother! I'm busy, next time, brother." Sahut Lian, refused the invitation of the brother, without stopping his work.


Make Nelly, short-sighted. Because Lian was always like this. Cold, lazy to talk, even if he talks, just as necessary. And Nelly doesn't like that, but she can't do anything. Because this is how Lian is.


"Daffa, his sister Sena also attended the same school as Abel." Nelly said again, hoping that it can make Lian interested to come with him.


And as expected, the man immediately stopped his work! Then he looked questioningly at Nelly.


" Sena has a younger sister named Daffa, if not wrong she's about 9 or 10 years old." Obviously Nelly again, as if to know what Lian wants to hear.


" That's impossible." Sangkal Lian, while shaking her head.


When Nelly said this, Lian did not respond much because she was not fully healed. His memory is still vague. But now Lian could remember everything in detail without being missed one bit.


" What's impossible Lian? the truth is like that." Ask Nelly.


" Sena's father died two months before our graduation! And Sena once said that if the mother had a little problem with the content, so it is very difficult to get pregnant, Sena alone they have to try for years to get it so it is impossible_"


" What is impossible in this world Lian, if God has willed! This impossible thing for us ordinary humans will happen so easily." Nelly cut Lian's words.


" Why are you so sure? Do you have a reason for this." Nelly asked, the woman grew suspicious of her sister, but did not blatantly point that out.


While Lian who did not want to open her memories with Sena, shook her head. The man refocused on his work and paid no attention to the older brother who kept looking at him meaningfully.


"Would you not go with your sister for lunch?" Ask Nelly again.


But Lian remained in her stance, unwilling. " Surely don't want to see her sister Sena, you don't wonder what her face looks like." Nelly kept pushing until he brought Daffa, until the man finally complied.


But everything was not entirely due to Nelly's insistence, Lian herself was curious about what the figure of Daffa, so her heart was moved to see the child who was said to be the sister of her former lover.


...\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=...


An hour has passed, now! Nelly and Lian have arrived at the school of Abel, Nelly's son. The students of the school had also scattered out, as well as Abel and Daffa. The difference is Abel immediately approached Nelly when he saw the whereabouts of his mother. While Daffa chose to sit in front of the security post waiting for Sena.


From where they stood, Nelly and Lian could see Daffa. " He whose name is Daffa, his sister Sena." Nelly said, pointing to Daffa.


Looking at Nelly's direction, Lian's body immediately froze in place with her heart beating faster than usual. " The boy_So he's right" murmured in his heart.


Unknowingly, his foot stepped on itself to approach Daffa, but before he actually arrived. Ningsih had already called her granddaughter from inside the taxi that stopped right in front of the Daffa school gate not far from her seat.


Daffa immediately approached Ningsih into a taxi, then left there before Lian could reach him.


" why? Anything on?" Tanya Nelly who was now behind Lian while staring at the taxi that had moved away brought Daffa away.


" No, I have to go back to the office." Without waiting for Nelly's answer, Lian left the brother just like that.


Meanwhile, somewhere else, right in a taxi, Daffa was asking Ningsih why she had come to pick him up, not Sena. Because her brother promised to pick her up this morning.


" Your brother still works, baby! No papa, if mama picks you up! Brother promised that Daffa according to brother would give Daffa a gift. " Say Ningsih persuaded her grandson.


While Daffa could only nod weakly, because he was so hopeful that Sena would pick him up earlier.
