The Delayed Soul
Chapter 78

Adel enters the Osmaro residence in Jakarta. He was warmly welcomed by his brother.

"Sir, what Reno said is true. You're ending your introductions? Why" asked Syafira.

Adel did not expect it turned out quickly also Reno contacted her brother. But, good, he thought.

"Yes, brother. Sorry Adel. Adel could not. Honestly, Adel is still in love with Varel. Adel can not lie to himself Adel, brother," said Adel honestly.

"But, deck..."

"I'm just trying to be honest about how I feel, brother. Not to ask my sister to accept our feelings. Sorry, brother, I'm tired. Pengin break. In the afternoon I have to go to the boutique" said Adel. He avoided arguing with his brother. He prefers to go into his room.

Adel deliberately did not say if the possibility of Varel has been betrothed to other women by Ms. Lidya, he did not want Syafira to lose respect for Varel.

While Varel, he did not go directly to his brother-in-law's residence, he chose to check in at the hotel first to rest. It was only in the afternoon that he would meet Syafira at his residence.

"Where are you, Dek? Why don't you go tell me?" ask Syafira by phone. Along with the return of Bara from the office. Syafira welcomed her husband's return by still calling Adel.

"Mas straight up, huh?" Bara kissed Syafira's forehead, and the woman nodded, "I've prepared water and a change of clothes for Bara, '" he said on the phone. And Bara nodded.

"I'm at the boutique, brother. This afternoon I told you the same brother. There's something I have to take care of here" Adelia replied after she heard her sister-in-law's words.

Syafira breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried because Adel went unselfish with him. He was afraid that the younger brother he knew was disappointed with his decision to leave again as before.

"Yes, then, Bara just came home. He hung up the phone, yeah. Don't have dinner at home, will you?" syafira.

"Yes, brother!" answer Adelia.

Shafira ended her call, and she turned to the door. How surprised he was when he saw Varel already standing there.

"Varel?"

"Fir..." Varel flinched at Syafira's shock.

"You startled me, why not go straight?" ask Syafira.

Vare smiled. He put his foot into the house.

"Sit, Rail. Want to meet Bara, huh? Just a moment I called, he was just coming home, maybe taking a shower" Syafira said.

"I'm not here to talk about work with brother-in-law. I'm here to see you..... About Adelia," Varel said directly to the point.

Syafira was silent for a moment, "I made you drink for a while. All for the Bara," he said. He went straight to the kitchen.

"Uncle!" exclaimed Nala, the girl who is now a teenager had just returned from riding lessons. Nathan, his patience is behind him.

Nala immediately ran to hit the unclenya.

"Geez, the smell of sweat playing hugs, gini" complained Varel.

Instead of taking off her embrace, Nala actually deliberately rubbed Varel, "Biarin, nih let the smell of fragrant sweat is also free, time until Nala so big is still single. Nala has a gebetan! Om lose!" babble Nala.

"Hey, who would dare to approach this princess uncle? Why not ask permission first?" Varel.

"Don't beat him, uncle. Anybody wants to get him in school" Nathan said.

It was as possessive as Nathan with his twin in school. No one dared to approach Nala.

In the end, Nala and Nathan were arguing. Makes Varel laugh. One kind of dry canoebo, the other one cherry. Not to mention the addition of his two other nephews Zio and Zack. If he had met them, his world that was actually quiet would have been a little more crowded.

"You guys, instead of showering straight home," Syafira came with drinks and snacks.

The bara who had taken a bath came down and joined them, "Boy, princess, take a bath first! You stink?" bara said.

"Ish, daddy, Nala is still kangen the same uncle," said Nala. Without speaking, Nathan pulled the hand of his twin brother. He understood the situation, the adults would want to discuss something that he and Nala could not interfere with.

With a frown Nala followed in Nathan's footsteps, "Uncle can't leave, tomorrow Nala must take a walk first!"

"Ready princess!" sahut Varel smiled.

" How's your job, Rail?" bara asked after Nathan and Nala left.

"Everything is good, brother," said Varel.

"But, I'm not here to talk about work with brother-in-law. I'm here, because I want to ask for your blessing especially Syafira. Fir, I know I let Adel down, but please let me make up for everything. Please bless us to be together, I want to marry Adel" Varel said.

Syafira was still unmoved, he was still with his stance.

" Well, you're the same as me, Fir? Until you don't let you be together?" ask Varel.

"Rel, I have never been angry or hate you for what happened to you. But, for those of you married, I'm sorry I can't give you my blessing!" answer Syafira.

"Is it because of my status now?" guess Varel.

Bara was also curious about Syafira's answer, not that he used to be a widower when he married Syafira.

"Why do you see me so? Not because of the widow, not the mas!" syafira.

Syafira again saw Varel, "It's not because you're a widower, Rel. As a sister, I want the best for Adel,"

"Am I not good for him?"

"You're good, very good. But not for Adel. Please understand, Rail. I was a lot sicker when I saw my sister destroyed but couldn't do anything for her" Syafira said.

"For that, please allow me to make things better this time, Fir. We still love each other. But , Adel wants to be your devoted sister, so he chose to get hurt again for you,"

"I'm sorry, but maybe this is better. You better find each other's happiness,"

"Have we not tried all this time? But still can't, fir. Please understand, I know how deeply you feel disappointed in me, but this time I will not give up until you give your blessing" said Varel.

"Rel, please!" Syafira.

"I'm not gonna give up, Fir," Varel said . He knew as gently as what the woman's heart would be broken if he continued to beg.

"Whatever, but I won't change my decision!"

"You can't let Adelia suffer any longer with her heart? And you know, I am your brother's true happiness. Do I have to remarry another woman so that you know how destroyed Adel was when it happened again?"

Syafira's eyes are already glazed over, "Please do it. Adel just needs us to be happy" he said despite his heart confirming Varel's remarks.

Varel did not give up, he went forward and knelt before Syafira, the woman was as disgusted as to what Varel was doing, "I mohin, Fir. Give me a chance to make Adelia happy" he said, his eyes so sad and hopeful.
