...💞 Happy reading 💞...
Aslan stood up from where he sat, looking at Kirana who had just been quietly stuck, he knew that she was digesting all her words. The man did not want Kirana to feel depressed, he wanted Kirana herself who was aware of the inner bond between them.
"Looks like you need yourself to reflect on all this. Brother explained everything without anyone covering up from you Kirana. Brother will not force you to believe all this, but brother wishes you would accept this familial bond of ours even though we have been separated for a long time brother still considers you little brother, brother, come back to me if you believe and trust everything, whenever you'll always be ready if you come." Said Aslan at length while sighing for a moment.
"Here, sister give back what belongs to you." Aslan gave Kirana's handkerchief back to the owner.
Kirana could only stare at the floor, too much shock in her head the woman should be able to digest her well and meticulously, his heart and mind now seemed to be in conflict between believing or not all the confessions of Aslan. But Kirana can not avoid if what is said Aslan is very connected with his life so far. Is it true that she is Chiara Mavendra who has been missing?
"Wait!" calling Kirana to Aslan who was about to set foot caused the man to hold back his leg and now turn to Kirana.
Waiting for what the woman will say next, making Aslan hot cold, he did not want it precisely because it was revealed that their actual relationship had even become Boomerang itself for the relationship between him and Kirana.
"If I asked you to do a DNA test, would you take it?" asked Kirana raising her face looking at Aslan with pushy eyes.
Kirana waited for honesty in Aslan's eyes at this time, the man gently rubbed his lips curved into a smile even though both eyes were now glazed over. Does that mean Kirana is slowly trusting him?
"of course. If you ask me, this very second, if necessary, we can go straight to the hospital, to do it" Aslan said steadily.
"No." Kirana shook her head slowly. "Not now, but later. Now I need time to be able to trust all your words."
"All right." Aslan was understanding, the man then approached his hand outstretched to wipe the top of Kirana's head which was currently still in a sitting position.
"Take care of yourself, don't eat late, don't stay up late and drink pregnancy milk so that your womb is strong, if you need something just call me. Even though you can't accept me as your brother yet, we can still be friends right?"
Kirana was stunned, for a few seconds she could feel like getting the affection of a sister she had never gotten before, then she smiled. "Thank you, until we meet again take care of yourself."
Aslan nodded his head and pulled back his hand and put it in his pants pocket. Not long after the door of the room opened, there was Shaka in the doorway now made Kirana stand up and approach her.
"Have you finished talking?" tanya Shaka looked at Kirana gently and then turned to Aslan with a calculating look.
Kirana nodded. "It has. Now can we go back, mas? I need some alone time."
Shaka who was instantly sensitive nodded. "Alright. come .. "let the man lead Kirana out of the room.
Vania hurriedly ran over to Aslan who was still fixated on seeing Kirana who was being led by Shaka.
"Aslan .. are you okay?" ask the restless Vania.
Aslan's eyes that were originally straight looking forward turned soft as her look lowered to meet with Vania's two clear eyes.
"No. I'm not okay," said the man, shaking his head. And suddenly Aslan's body seemed to relax until his head when he fell on Vania's shoulders, the man hugged half of Vania's body making the woman stiffen instantly.
"Why?" asked Vania who had missed her surprise.
"He doesn't believe me yet, Van. Chiara does not want to return to be my sister," said Aslan seemed stuck. Disappointment filled her chest because Kirana who did not immediately believe what she had explained everything.
"Don't say that" said Vania, letting go of Aslan's embrace to look at the man's face and smiling. "Kirana just needs time to accept all these facts. After all who was not surprised when a man who had helped him a lot suddenly came and claimed to be his brother and he was the younger brother of a respected family who had been in search of his whereabouts? if I'm in Kirana's position, it must be very surprising, so give her a moment first. Don't think anything okay?"
Aslan nodded then smiled, Vania was indeed very able to calm down the grief in her heart with her soothing words.
...----------oo-------...
At the Rajendra mansion, after having dinner, Kirana just sat quietly on the edge of the mattress, as if the woman does not have a life of mind is traveling very far now makes Shaka who is looking at the financial statements on his desk pay attention to the movements of the wife since. After finishing his work, Shaka stood up from his desk to Kirana and sat down next to the woman.
"What's up, baby? you still thinking about what happened this afternoon?" tanya Shaka made Kirana who was daydreaming gasp in shock.
"I'm confused, should I trust Aslan's confession?" muttered Kirana, wheezing heavily.
"Kirana, listen ... " Shaka took the two shoulders of his wife and then confronted her. "You may be very confused at this time to determine whether you should trust Mr. Aslan's words or not. But surely follow your heart, because whatever started here never lies," said Aslan carrying Kirana's palm touching to his left chest.
Kirana looked at her husband at first she felt unsure but Shaka smiled at her comfort. "If you need hard evidence, then do a DNA test. Then whatever your decision will be I will always support you."
Kirana nodded, curling her lips in a smile, feeling that there was a new hope in her heart after hearing Shaka's words.
"Well, the only way out is indeed a DNA test. But mas, please accompany me, huh? don't leave me alone ... "
Shaka gave a small laugh for a moment then smiled widely. "How could I leave you alone? you are half my breath my soul mate, how can I leave my own world?"
Shaka's words suddenly made Kirana's cheeks flushed like cherries. "Are you a sloth?"
"Where can I flounder, baby" said Shaka laughing. "Here hug." the man spread his hands wide.
Now it was Kirana's turn to laugh, starting again the spoiled nature of her husband makes Kirana sometimes feel surprised, he said, because Shaka when outside always looks fierce but when the two are with him the man always shows a childlike nature. Either way Kirana loves this man very much now, then or later only Shaka who is always in his heart. Kirana also welcomed Shaka's hands hugging the man very tightly and feeling affection.
...---------oo--------...
"Awshhh!!" Aslan grimaced with pain every time the circle of cloth that was given ice cubes stuck to his bruise, the man's eyes occasionally closed feeling a great pain not only in his wound but also in his heart.
Vania let out a lethargic sigh, as if she was feeling the pain Aslan was feeling. "I'm sorry" he said, then raised a few strands of the child's hair on Aslan's forehead to treat the blue bruise on the man's forehead.
Aslan turned his head to look at the girl, for a while the man was fixated, his two eyes now stared fixedly at Vania who was so painstakingly treating him.
"Why are you always so good about me?" asked the man inevitably made Vania's brows furrow.
"You mean?" ask the girl not to understand.
"Gue has always rejected Lo Van, even blatantly diseakin lo with my words or actions so far," said Aslan with a soft word. "But why you're always good is just me, why you're always there when I need to."
"Because I love you, Lan. You know that, right?"
"But we can not be together, Van." aslan made Vania stunned for a moment, the girl quietly pulled her hand that was treating Aslan's forehead and then let out a long sigh.
"It's okay, let me fight Lan this time."
Vania used to remember when they were still in the pdkt or approach, when they were still in college education, Aslan fought desperately to get the blessing of his father who had always been blatantly beating the drums of war with Aslan, when his father reasoned that Aslan was not a good man for his daughter. Like being impaled on an oath, Vania must accept the reality if indeed her love story with Aslan is not that smooth. So he will struggle even though Aslan himself is still hesitant to fight back their relationship because it has already received deep disappointment over the rejection of his parents.
"You said don't talk about our relationship first, right? you said now the most important thing is to bring your sister back, why are you even talking about us?"
"Gue's not gouging Van. I just don't want you to waste my time, free," Aslan said so desperately piercing the deepest recesses of Vania's heart.
However Vania could still smile amidst her heartache. "There is nothing in vain if we do it with Lan's heart. I promised you I'd always be by your side until you could meet your sister. I'm not giving up, Lan."
For a moment the two human children sat there was a longing and love that appeared every time their heartbeat rang, but both Aslan and Vania were conscious, if the two can't go back to what they used to be or maybe not?
"Have it then," Aslan said to end the talks. "Gue already warned you, now for me there's nothing more important than work and Chiara, you can't change me at all like Van used to."
After saying that Aslan then left Vania alone with all her long thoughts.
A week, time asked Kirana to think. Many times Kirana tried to evade and not believe but she realized that the inner bond of her brotherhood with Aslan was even more real and strong. Until finally after much consideration, Kirana invited Aslan back with Shaka, of course.
The atmosphere of the cafe where they met at this time was very spacious, there were only a few customers whose desk distance was quite far with the table in Aslan, which was occupied, Kirana and Shaka are currently up to allowing for them to talk casually.
Kirana took a deep breath before making her decision, Shaka was beside her giving support to the woman while Aslan who was sitting before them waited patiently for what Kirana would give as her decision.
"To prove that we are brothers, with the same parents, I am Kirana Lantern ready to do a DNA test, Mr. Aslan, if you agree we will do this DNA test to find out the truth," Kirana said making Aslan smile with relief. Of course he welcomed Kirana's decision.
