There was a knocking on the door. A woman who was decorating herself stopped and moved from her seat. The woman walked to the door and opened it.
''Good morning, baby.'' Greet a man who then gives a warm kiss at the top of the woman's head. Instantly a smile was imprinted on the beautiful face of the woman.
''Good morning, brother. Come in, '' take the woman to the man who is her own brother. The man smiled and went into the luxurious room of his sister.
''What's your sleep, Ell?'' ask the man who is none other than Leon. He came to his sister's room because he wanted to see her situation. Vanya just nodded while smiling faintly. After her sister sat on the sofa, the woman resumed her makeup earlier. The woman skillfully applied her make-up on her beautiful face. Even the bruises that had been in some parts of her face and body were now disguised by her makeup play.
''We'll be leaving soon. Are you ready, baby? Brother has already notified Daddy. He is very happy to hear from you, Leon said. Vanya immediately summarized all of his combat equipment. After that, he changed his clothes in the bathroom that was there.
Not long after, Vanya was seen coming out of there with a change of clothes.
Using his formal suit, Vanya looks graceful. Her beautiful aura just came out even though the makeup Vanya used was only natural as she usually used everyday.
''You look so gorgeous, baby.'' praised Leon when he saw his little sister's performance. Vanya simply smiled in response to the praise from her brother.
As the two were chatting casually, there was a knock from outside the door. Vanya immediately opens it, it turns out to be Brian - Leon's confidant who came.
''Sorry, Mister. Time to go now, Brian said. Leon who heard it immediately stared at his watch.
''All right, come on, baby. Our plane is waiting, '' take Leon to Vanya. Vanya just nodded then she picked up her bag that was on the dressing table. His eyes were fixed on two white envelopes there. He also remembered about it. He quickly put on a bag and took the two envelopes with him.
''Sister?'' call Vanya.
''Yes, baby?'' answer Leon.
''Can I please deliver these two envelopes to the address here?'' ask Vanya. Leon briefly looked at the two envelopes, then he nodded his head with a smile.
''Have you been to France, Ell?'' leon asked as they were on their way to the airport. Vanya began to familiarize himself with the name and the nickname. The woman shook her head at the question.
''Never been, '' he replied.
''We'll stay there, Ell. Do you mind that?'' ask Leon.
''Hm, I don't know yet Brother.'' replied lirih Vanya. He still has not fully established himself at the moment. There was still doubt in his heart that only he knew. There was no way he would tell his brother everything.
''It's okay. Just slow. Once you are there, you will definitely be able to adjust there, Leon said as he stroked the top of Vanya's head. Vanya is happy to get and meet an older brother who loves her very much even though the two have just met. As Vanya re-thinks the course of her life, her memory returns to her sisters who are in the parlour. Instantly made the woman stare at Leon.
''Brother? What about the parlour? All this time I grew up there, asked Vanya. He was worried that Marcell was doing something with his sisters who were there. Leon who heard it immediately embraced Vanya's body and hugged her.
''You want to hear the story of brother?'' ask Leon suddenly. Vanya who had asked about her younger siblings was now even asked to listen to Leon's story. But Vanya can only obey all the words of the Brother.
''By,'' replied Vanya. Leon began his story with a long breath.
''Once, when mommy was pregnant, we were Daddy, Mommy, and I came to the island of Bali. Bali is a historic place for Daddy and Mommy, Ell. Therefore, mommy wants to give birth to you, she chose there. Of course Daddy doesn't bother about that. Finally you moved there when Mommy's womb turned seven months old.'' Leon began to tell me about the beginning of the event.
Vanya just silently listened to every word spoken by Leon.
''The three of us enjoyed our days waiting for your birth. At that time, actually Daddy had canceled his intention to go to an important meeting considering the content of Mommy who only waited for the day. But because Mommy insisted because it was estimated that birth was still two weeks, Daddy finally left for Surabaya. But unfortunately, when Daddy just arrived in Surabaya Mommy at home felt a contraction. Assisted by some maids at home, we went to the nearest hospital without Daddy. After arriving at the hospital, Daddy was just alerted by one of our maids. At that time Daddy left his business to be able to see and support Mommy. At that time my brother was about five years old, said Leon who began to tell the tragic events that separated them from Vanya. Vanya until made deg-degan hear stories about himself in the past. Although there was fear, but he was also curious how he could get to an orphanage.
''Then?'' ask Vanya.
''When Daddy arrived at the hospital, Mommy was done with labor. Because Mommy's condition that recently often drops makes her experience severe bleeding after your birth. Somehow the story goes, you suddenly disappeared from the nursery right on the same day. But Daddy got a report if before that happened, someone saw mommy crying as much as we could with one of our servants in the delivery room. And losing you then made us panic instead of playing. Even I remember once back then, for the first time I saw Daddy cry over your loss. Although big brother did not understand clearly yet, but big brother also felt a sense of loss at that moment. Especially with your loss, making Mommy's condition more and more day-to-day to make us worried once.'' continued Leon. Vanya immediately held onto Leon's right hand to strengthen it. Leon seemed to be smiling thinly while stroking Vanya's back with his left hand.
''For five years we have been there. I even had to homeschool for the sake of my education that stopped. During that time Daddy kept trying to find you, but nil. Every night I witness how to see Daddy crying alone in the dark of the night. Daddy thought I was sleeping, but I wasn't. I peeked out of the crack of Daddy's office door. Then when he heard the news that Daddy's company in France needed it, Inevitably make Daddy have to make a tough decision at that time. Daddy decided to let you go and go back to France with mommy and me. Even Mommy until now is still loyal to her long sleep, Ell. And it made us sick until now, Vanya immediately hugged the big brother's body. He shares his love with the man who loves him so much.
''I didn't expect this to happen to us, sister.''
