Undeniably, Kak Litha's face was much more sumringah when there was Brother-in-law by her side. But what irritates me is that he no longer notices.
"Sister, why didn't Brother-in-law tell Sister-in-law to sleep in the hotel? Surely he's not used to sleeping on the couch," I was so upset.
"I can't stop him from sleeping here. You also better sleep at home, some days you are also definitely not too good to rest, right?" litha replied calmly, not provoked by my annoyance.
"Come, Nia. Let your brother rest, don't bother him to recover. You sleep in your late mother's room, your room and Litha will be used by Ninda as long as she's here." Aunt Rima took me home, but I refused.
"Come, Nia. There's a Young Master guarding your brother here, you don't have to worry." Uncle Tino persuaded me.
"That's exactly what I'm worried about, if there's nothing no one sees."
I deliberately raised my voice to provoke someone. Kulirik Sister-in-law who was sitting on the sofa. Sure enough, the man was hooked, his eyes that had been looking at some of his office work in Tab, now stabbed sharply at me.
"Geez, why am I so afraid of Brother-in-law? His eyes are scary. Hiii ...."
I shuddered in horror, but Mr. Assistant whispered something to him until he sighed without turning his sharp gaze away from me.
"You could've fooled everyone here. Even the Aunt who didn't like you at first now supports you instead. Hiisshhhh .... But that doesn't apply to me, Young Master! Watch out for Litha's sister crying again!" I cried in my heart.
"Let me take you, all I say to Madam. Tomorrow I will come back again" said Mr. Sas who was taken by Kak Litha.
"Related, ah! Uncle and Aunt are tired, want to rest. Let's go home soon."
Aunt Rima pulled my hand again. Over time my hand became long as it continues to be pulled today.
"SALMIE!" my screams tried to take off the pull on my hand.
"Come, Nin." Uncle took Brother Ninda home.
No one supported me to stay here tonight to accompany Brother Litha, inevitably I followed their will.
"Sister, call me if there's anything!" I shouted in the doorway, "I will soon come at the speed of light. So, don't expect Brother-in-law to make you cry again!" I cried louder, I am sure my voice can still be heard by Brother Litha and her husband
"You're so noisy!" reprimand Aunt is angry, but I don't care.
...***...
At Aunt's house, I was sleeping in Mom's room. Many memories here, Mother's voice that often scolded me to meet the bathin, but more often Mother rocked me even though I was this big.
Mother's son is most powerful, strong, strong .... If the strong want to defeat who?
I smiled remembering it.
If the strong want to defeat who? Want to defeat Fir'auuun!
Haha .... Are you Moses?
I mean people in this day and age who are like Pharaoh, Mom.
Not until it's like that, sweetheart ... You're just beating your laziness and fear.
No, no ... I will defeat all the sorrows of my mother and my two brothers.
Then your Aunt and Uncle?
Ahhh ... My aunt and uncle loved to scold me.
Haha ... Even so, they are the family that cares about us the most. It is appropriate that we return the favor.
A mind? No. gabe. That doesn't include returning the favor. I will do it because I love them. They're my second Mom and Dad .. although I'm very upset that they scolded me, hahahaha ....
Aw, Vania ... You're Mom's son who's hearted like a clam.
A clam?
Yeah, clams. Hard skin with softness in it, so that the threat was converted into beauty.
For the umpteenth time I cried at Mother's death, but I vowed this time it was my last time falling for Mother. As he said, I am his most powerful daughter and I will prove it.
After I was satisfied I cried and remembered Mom, my throat felt very dry. The fluid in my body has been drained greatly these past few days. I headed to the kitchen to fetch water while looking at the wall clock, it was already past midnight.
"Sister Ninda!" pekikku saw my brother's best friend was fixated not far in front of the door of the room Aunt and Uncle when opening the door.
Brother Ninda immediately put an index finger in front of her tiny lips, a sign so that I can negate the sound. My eyes were squeaking and sharpening my hearing, I could hear the sound of weeping bitterly from Aunt's room, like a stifled roar.
"I didn't expect Auntie to lose Mom like that. He was acting tough in front of us, but his heart was also broken" I said after sighing and taking water from the dispenser.
"It seems that Aunt Rima and your mother's relationship is not just a brother-in-law relationship" said Brother Ninda behind me waiting for me to finish taking water.
"Yes. Aunts and Mothers are best friends since childhood, no wonder their relationship is so close. Surely the sense of losing Aunt isn't much different from ours, Mother's children."
"Everything Uncle Tino and Aunt Rima think of you as their own daughter. Their affection almost matches your parents."
"mrs ... Sister Ninda, is there anything you know about the household of Brother Litha?" my question was suddenly that made my brother's best friend almost choke.
"Noh ... I also don't know exactly, which I do know that your brother of the last two three months is not in good shape. Hopefully, her husband really apologized and won't hurt her again" the young girl replied, pushing her bangs aside.
"Ck. Diplomatic is the answer, but not with your body language, Sister Ninda. You must be covering something up ... I'm sure you know," my mind while watching his movements.
"Why do you see me like that? I-I really don't know anything about your sister and her husband. W-if you're curious, just ask the person yourself," said Ninda nervously as we met.
"Ah, stop. Whatever it is, may the Young Master really love my brother," I concluded smiling.
"Yes, Nia. I pray for him like that too. Litha to me is not just a friend, she is my guardian angel. If only he had not married Young Master Pradipta, my mother's father wanted to make her one of the daughters-in-law in the Kusuma family. But, we do not know where the fate of the soul mate will go. The child in Litha's womb is a close bond between her and her husband."
I scrunched my forehead. I knew my brother had extraordinary charisma in the eyes of the opposite sex but did not expect that even parents were interested in him to be a son-in-law. How's myself? Aih .. I envy her so much.
"Uncle, is Aunt okay?" Brother Ninda asked as Uncle closed the room door.
Uncle nodded, his face looked a little surprised because in the middle of the night we were still awake and gathered in the kitchen.
"Why, Uncle?" my many.
Uncle just kept quiet, picked up the glass on the plate rack and walked towards the dispenser to fill it up, "Auntie why?" I ask to repeat.
With a deep breath, "Yes ... This may be the hardest time your aunt has to go through, losing her soulmate."
"Uhukis. Soul mates? Aunt's soul mate is Uncle, not Mom" I argued.
"Hehehehe .. Soul mates are not always opposite-sex couples. The soulmate is actually an expression for the people of value in his life who if he were gone he would lose and nothing could replace," said Uncle put a glass of water on the dining table.
"Wow! Uncle interpreted soul mates differently from most people. Does Uncle mind if Aunt's soul mate is Mom, then Uncle?"
"Basic Boy! For Uncle is too narrow to mean our soulmate in this world is only one person and that's our partner. Since knowing your aunt Uncle realized, nothing can exceed her affection and care for your mother even from herself. Before Uncle marries your aunt, he applies for marriage if there is a condition that requires him to choose between Uncle and your mother, Uncle must be ready to accept your aunt to choose your mother. But Uncle knew for sure there was no man filling in his heart other than Uncle, that was more than enough."
I was surprised to hear it, how can the position of a brother-in-law and best friend be higher priority than the husband?
"Is Mom like that too?"
Uncle laughed, "No. Soulmate and true love your mother is only your father, and vice versa. Their love struggle to produce three beautiful princesses is impossible in this world. It was only the tenacity and extraordinary sacrifice of the two that finally united them."
My eyes were wide open, all this time Father and Mother, Uncle and Aunt have never touched on their past. Now Uncle accidentally said the thing I just heard for 18 years I was breathing.
"Uncle-"
Uncle then took the glass he had placed on the table and brought it into the room, probably to Auntie. I feel this is awkward and strange, right said Brother Ninda, the relationship between Mother and Aunt Rima is not as simple as I thought all along.
...***...
The next day, Ninda and I went to the hospital to see Litha. Aunty and Uncle did not come, said Uncle, Aunt is still sad and it takes time to let Mom go because all this time Aunt held all her feelings of destruction for my brother.
"Hhhhhh .. day is not yet noon there is a wasp," said my sister-in-law once opened the door of the room, whether she was where when we came.
"Waspheme? In this VIP room is there a wasp?" asked Ninda confused.
"That's what I meant, Brother Ninda," I replied inwardly.
"It is only natural that wasps keep flowers that have the best nectar. Don't be picked haphazardly by arrogant-hearted humans."
"It!" sentak Kak Litha, trying to stop my insinuation for her husband.
"That man could easily pat the wasp to death, should the wasp not be too noisy and disturb the human," the haughty Young Master replied.
Obviously he provoked my emotions, and he managed to, "Not knowing it yet, The Wasp will sting him first," I fiercely clenched my hands.
"Heh, wasp stings are not capable of killing humans, but the wasp's life is already at stake if it stings."
"Mas, stop! She's your sister-in-law ... You're Nia too! Respect your sister-in-law. You two are like kids." Brother Litha warned us both.
Sister Ninda's gaze was amazed to see me for daring to offend Young Master's brother's arrogance.
"Darling, why isn't your sister as sweet as you, anyway?"
Gently Brother-in-law said to Brother Litha, it is much different when he debates me. But wait ... It seems I heard they already mentioned each other with a special call.
"Sister Litha called Brother-in-law, Mas? It's like Mom called Dad," I protested not to see my sister and her husband look friendly.
"Kan, it's your sister-in-law Brother's husband, Nia."
Kak Litha's reply made the Young Master mocked me. Aarrgghc ... I am very upset, Brother Litha prefers to defend a husband who obviously hurt himself yesterday to almost lose his child. Now what? Somehow Brother-in-law persuaded Brother Litha until his heart was broken.
"Haisshh .. "murm.
The man then sat on the sofa, looking so satisfied when defended by his wife that he no longer cared about me and now his attention was distracted by the phone he held.
"Auntie, why don't you come, Nia?" ask Brother Litha.
I was silent, Brother Ninda who replied, "Tha, Aunt cried all night, sounding very sad. We were confused about why, as soon as Uncle came out to get Aunt some water to drink in the kitchen, we asked Uncle. Uncle was quiet at first, but because we insisted, Uncle said Aunt lost your mother so much."
Brother Litha fell silent, I'm sure his thoughts must be the same as what I thought last night to make me unable to sleep after returning from the kitchen.
"Is there anything you know?" Brother Litha asked me but I just shook my head.
"Mom and Aunt are equally mysterious. We never know the family of Mother and Aunt, only the big family of Father and Uncle only whose mouth is also big," I continued.
"Gushhh ... After all, they are the only ones we know as family" said Litha.
"If I, mending have no family than to be talked behind, where are the pedes again. Try when Brother-in-law's funeral comes, they can't possibly gossip so, there they will look for face in front of Brother-in-law just like when Kak Litha got married."
"Nia .. do not need to be revealed again. They have mouths to talk to and we can't keep their mouths shut, which we can do to cover our own ears." Brother Litha advised me.
I knew she must be bad for her husband because I kept insinuating. But what I did was to open her husband's eyes to what we had yesterday.
"Pinter said you, Tha, the proof is that you are also hurt by your rumors on campus, right?" timpal Sister Ninda.
"Mahaha ... Brother, your best friend is also anxious to see you always defend Brother-in-law. Continue Brother Ninda! We unite forces to destroy Young Master's arrogance until he bends his knees realizing his mistake."
"Aissshhh .. That's different, Nin. Oh, never mind, don't talk about them all. Nia when did you return to the dorm? You too Nin, when are you going back to the capital?" Brother Litha shifted the subject.
"After Big Brother is well and out of the hospital." I replied a little bitterly, again Brother Litha defended her husband.
"Sama" said Ninda.
"Aih ... failed already the mission of destroying the pride of the Young Master because there was a goddess Athena who mercifully forgave her sins. Too bad for you, Ponakan .. destined to have a haughty father. But calm ... There is your aunt who sincerely loves you unconditionally," I said in my heart.
Geck. Geck. Geck.
The door of the room opened, someone appeared who had made me rustle for no reason. The man familiarly called Assistant Yan saluted. Then Brother-in-law got up and approached his wife's bed.
"I go first, I have something to take care of. Rest and eat a lot. If the wasp is still noisy and annoying, just call Mr. Sas who is standing guard in front of the room to drive it away."
"Mas, don't be so," protested Kak Litha but with a smile, a little spoiled
"Hiks ... My brother has forgotten me after being persuaded by a man! She was not sincerely defending me like she was defending her husband earlier. You fucking Sister-in-law! Watch out for you, wait for my revenge!"
"Don't curse me in my heart! Usually you are brave enough to say it directly in front of me," said Brother-in-law passed by, no matter my reaction was already very rowdy.
"Son Litha ..." I whined for support.
"Next time you don't say in your heart next to him. I'm telling you one secret ... Husband Brother is an Alien. Brother alone does not dare to curse him inwardly." kekeh Kak Litha.
"Alien? Oh my God .. so fast, brother, your heart has gone from being hurt to being a slave to love."
Pppffttt ....
Brother Ninda and Assistant Yan held back a laugh while Big Brother-in-law only smiled hearing it before he came out.
Not waiting long I also say come out, "Son I'm out for a while."
.
.
.
"Sister-in-law, wait!" my screams ran after him in the hospital corridor.
His steps stopped as well as his assistant. "Why?" ask indifferently.
"I'm so angry and upset with you!" my tudingku to the point is so faced with a distance of about one meter.
"Well! What!"
"Yes, because of Brother-in-law, my brother is like this. I don't know what happened between you, which obviously Sister-in-law as husband abandoned my brother and it broke your marriage vows."
"YOU! I hope you know what you're talking about, huh!" he grumbled with a held back anger.
Actually nyaliku ciut, his aura can not be underestimated let alone in a state of anger, of course frightening. But how else would I have to defend my brother. My brother's husband should know, even though his wife is no longer a thousand, but still a brother who is strong enough to protect her. As much as I can I hold the trembling body so as not to appear afraid in front of the enemy.
"Ray, she's your sister-in-law."
Jamb.
Assistant Yan's calm voice trying to cool the heat of Big Brother-in-law's ego made me ripple back like two years ago. I subdued this face .. hide so that the redness that appears in the light of the skin is not visible to him.
