The Heart of Vania
I Feel It's.

I was so happy to be picked up by Mr. Sas with Bibi and Uncle at school to ask permission to the Capital for a few days. An innumerable pride to attend the graduation ceremony of Kak Litha as well as his birthday celebration.

"Auntie, is it true that Brother-in-law did all that for Brother Litha?" I said in disbelief after Uncle Tino briefly told Young Master Pradipta's surprise for his wife.

"Yes Nia. Your sister's husband made a great surprise for Litha. You know, he adjusted his graduation schedule to your brother's birthday, then later that night there will be a private party only attended by family and the closest people," replied Aunt Rima excitedly.

I was flabbergasted, Sister-in-law's effort was so amazing that it could change a major university event involving many important people.

Riding a private plane owned by the Pradipta Family is the first experience of traveling by air. Finally I can feel the tension of critical eleven and jetlag fatigue even though it is only two hours away.

Since landing and being greeted by the driver with a Rolls Royce car, Bibi and I have not stopped admiring the luxury that Brother-in-law has, especially when arriving at the family residence.

"Nia, shut that gaping mouth of yours! You were more hick than Uncle when he first came here" hissed Uncle Tino in addition to warning me when I was about to enter a guardhouse, this second guard located inside the main gate.

"Ckckk. Uncle, this is like a fairy tale. Brother Litha is Cinderella in the real world" I said, not caring, my eyes exploring every corner.

"This house has two guards. First at the main gate we passed, second this one, the security in this house is very concerned. Any living here will be given a Passcard and for guests must leave an identity card left at the first guard post" point Uncle through the tail of his eyes, "While it is a pendopo to receive guests of a general nature, if guests who have a close relationship with members of the Pradipta Family, it will be brought into the living room in the main house, the, but it's very rare. Well, it's in the pendopo that your brother's destiny to intersect with the Pradipta Family begins."

I listened carefully to Uncle Tino's story, "Uncle tell me more in detail," I asked.

Ehemc ....

Mr. Sas cleared his throat hinting so I didn't have much behavior. Haisshhh .. of course that sucks.

"The Great Lady fell in love at first sight to a girl, furthermore only that girl could make the Big Lady's life colorful until the end of her life. So fond of the girl, that the Great Mistress bound her in a will to remain in the Pradipta Family even though she had died."

The brief description of the man who never showed that expression made us surprised. For the sake of Litha Pak Sas would extend his sentence, all this time his mute figure often makes me shiver, hiii ....

"Bamaaan, Bibiiiii, Niaaaa .. " cried Kak Litha soaring with excitement on the terrace. He didn't run to greet me as usual, I caught Brother-in-law's face beside him. But I understand, her enlarged stomach is also not good to do so.

"Lithaaaa ..." cried Aunt and Uncle together.

"Sir Lithaaaa ...." I also did not lose to harden my screams towards him.

The four of us hugged tightly and long ago breathed out a deep sense of longing, longing. Then I crouched down in front of my brother and rubbed his hands against his stomach, "Hello, my dear nephew ... You grew so well in your mother's stomach, Aunt Nia can't wait to play with you." It's adorable to see that distended stomach, I want to get bitten but I realize there's a handler who's always watching me.

"Litha, you're getting prettier and fuller, son. Pipimu– gosh! Tembem– and your content is also getting bigger." Aunt Rima commented on Brother Litha's physique while holding her face.

"Yes Kak, even though the first time Kak Litha was pregnant was so thin that she had cheekbones" I said, standing up.

Ehemc ....

Ray cleared his throat, Uncle Tino spontaneously stepped on my foot. "Aauuww .... Uncle! This leg is still in the cake, don't play any stampede dong!" seruku pulling feet.

"You're talking that indiscriminately. Remember that! We're at the Pradipta House. Watch your mouth otherwise Mr. Is will scold you."

"Who is Mr Is?" my many.

"Let's go in! I introduce all the servants here to Bibi and Nia, if Uncle must still remember," asked Kak Litha holding Aunt Rima's arm.

Just entering the living room of the main house, my Aunt and I were unceasingly amazed and commenting on the tacky room that we had only seen on TV. Aunty shuddered in horror, afraid to touch the thing that was here.

"Sir, is Litha really living in this house?" aunt whispered to her husband who was still heard by me.

"Yes Mom. That's why I said don't ignore it when it arrives. I alone would not have entered the main house if it was not allowed by the Chief Servant, Mr. Is. Not just any waiter can get in and out of the main house."

Aunt's round lips can't believe her niece is queen in this grand house, neither can I. This two-story house is very spacious, the decoration and design is classic and elegant, we can be sure that every item that lives here has a high value.

"Aibi and Nia, this is Mr. Is, he is the most busy taking care of this house and his people hehehe ... Without it we must be very troublesome," said Kak Litha introduced Mr. Is.

The middle-aged man looked down respectfully at us. His attention was on me, I don't know what he was thinking. Not long after we were escorted to the guest room where we stayed during our stay in the Capital. The room located on the first floor is three times the size of my room and Kak Litha in the house of Uncle and Aunt, in which each equipped with a bathroom and furniture best in class, "I must be staying here, hmmm ..." I'm happy to touch here and there.

"Assistant Yaaaannn .. " cried out as the man I called his name stood before the door of the parlour.

He seems to be going to the office with Brother-in-law, I did not pay attention to him because my attention is more focused on Brother Litha and this big house. Immediately I approached and pulled out my new cell phone that Brother-in-law gave me before she returned to the Capital from city A a few months ago.

"Assistant Yan, let's take a selfie first for news updates at FC," I said cheerfully imagining Keysha's self-worth, Riri and Rachel seeing my swafotoku with Assistant Young Master Pradipta.

"FC'S? What is FC?" tanyanya's confused.

"Fans Clubs. The Shortpink Fans Club. I'm the chairman of his FC. Assistant Yan cute disposable pink shorts. That time on Twitter trending number one, beating Sister-in-law who was without clothes carrying Kak Litha. Brother-in-law's body can be torn bread but her sweet pink Assistant Yan remains the champion in our hearts."

Yup, even though I initially rejected the prestigious 'job title' but in the end I really enjoyed it, enjoying every picture of an Abyan Pratama.

"It!" peekkik Brother Litha glared at me.

"Wine! Is Brother Litha angry? Die if he's angry. But-- why?" my muttered inwardly who also felt funny seeing Brother-in-law and her assistant flabbergasted in disbelief hearing my brother's high tone.

"Has Litha always been meek in front of you? Hahahahaha .. You were fooled by him because his scolding made the ears noisy."

"What are you doing at FC?" asked Assistant Yan.

"Yes ... shared the latest news about Assistant Yan, as well as photos of Assistant Yan. I do, have many photos of Assistant Yan while in City A and that photo is an exclusive photo that is sometimes re-shared on Instagram gossip accounts."

"Nia, you're violating Assistant Yan's privacy is her name!Very presumptuous without your permission to spread the photos. Is that what Mom and Dad taught you? How humiliating!" said Kak Litha growled, frankly his words this time make nyaliku shrivel.

"Ka-Ka-Bakr-A- "

"Remove all photos you share from your FC account. Apologize now to Assistant Yan. Don't expect you to eat before you apologize to her" he continued firmly without my self-defense.

"Haynh ... Brother Litha ... Cook until that?"

"Yes. So you know manners."

"Yes, yes."

I gave up, instead of his scolding being the length of a railway that was somewhere at the end, "I'm sorry Assistant Yan." I said facing the sturdy man.

"Hohohoho .. It's not that easy to forgive, Miss Wasp."

"What the fu*ck! She-she-she-she was deliberately playing me!"

"I really appreciate the privacy of Miss Vania. Miss's actions hurt my pride." she added.

Pppffffttt ...

The sound of laughter restrained Brother-in-law touched my shame, it turned out that the man had deliberately said so, obviously he wanted to prank me. But not with Brother Litha, his face was very serious as if he wanted to eat me alive.

"Vania is reckless and likes to do things without thinking, but actually she has no intention to do anything inappropriate. Please forgive Vania, Assistant Yan." Brother Litha apologized by lowering her head in front of Assistant Yan.

Uh.

"Litha!" shouted husband.

Brother-in-law very much dislikes his wife lowering her head in front of others. This hurt his pride as a Young Master who was always flattered and never wrong. Moreover, Assistant Yan's status was only the errand boy Brother-in-law.

"Eh, Brother. Don't do it, I'm wrong" I said a little nervously, why is the atmosphere so serious?

"Eh, ma'am, don't be like this. I-I ha-"

"Lith, you don't have to, I'll apologize to Abyan. My sister Vania, I am also responsible for her attitude," said Sister-in-law interrupting Assistant Yan's sentence by wiping his wife's head, "And you are Nia, having to learn many ways of valuing someone else's ownership of your brother. You will be appreciated as much as you value people first, " continued Brother-in-law firmly.

I can't believe what I'm witnessing right now. A Young Master who is known throughout the country as an arrogant person is willing to apologize to replace his beloved wife's apology, even gently rubbing the head sanh wife. Then he counsels me like an older brother who is educating his beloved sister.

"Why-why did they both do it for me? His advice sounds sincere, not just to seek the attention of Litha. Am I as valuable to him as I am as precious to my sister?" my day with my head full of regret.

"Yes, Mas. Forgive Nia yes. Assistant Yan forgive Nia ya."

There is a saying that an older sister is a substitute for Mom if she is gone, and this is true. I was lucky to have an older sister like Brother Litha, I could feel her care, affection and hope for me. Yeah ... I feel it.

After Brother-in-law and Assistant Yan nodded, Brother Litha turned around and reached out to my cheek, "Bikin is embarrassed. Come on in your room! Reflect on what you did! You can't leave the room before I call. Be content until Assistant Yan returns to take your Sister-in-law home and try to get her sorry."

Huh! Whahuh?

"Sister! Forgive me! I know I was wrong and-didn't I also be forgiven? Why would I pick me up and lock me up without food? This violates Human Rights" I cried with my right ear that was beginning to feel hot.

"Before you spoke Human Rights, did you know that everyone also has the right to have his image not disseminated? Who committed the offence first, ha!" rebut Brother Litha while walking, still pulling my ears.

"That's fine! Sick Brother! My ears want to break this! Assistant Yan had also forgiven me earlier."

Suddenly Brother Litha stopped her steps, her eyes looking at me sharply. Aih ... I don't dare look him in the eye if he's this angry, his eyes are so heart-piercing, just like Mom's eyes when scolding me. "Why didn't he inherit Dad's warm eyes like Tisha's sister? Her piercing look horrified me."

"Who said? Of course he nodded because I did the talking, if he dared to shake his head, Young Master would trouble him. It is not yet known whether Assistant Yan sincerely forgives you or not, until you also sincerely apologize. So--My dear-sister-you owe her an apology, period," her scolding without pause and not caring about my reddened ears.

My other earlobes heard the giggling of two men who moved away from the door, not long after which there was a loud laughter, the laughter belonged to Brother-in-law.

.

It's free for me to complain to Auntie, hoping to get her defense. In fact, I was even more scolded and remained locked in the room until Assistant Yan came when driving Brother-in-law home from the office. Fortunately there were some snacks that I brought from City A, quite able to block the stomach, otherwise I might have fainted hungry.

"Nia come out, Assistant Yan has already come," Aunt Rima told me to leave the room and apologize.

I walked over behind Bibi to the living room, looking down at the floor of the main house that was always sparkling. I realize my mistake where, Dad once said do not bow down if you do not feel wrong but if you realize your mistake, bow your head with regret and determination not to repeat it again, then you can apologize sincerely.

"Vania, come here" call Brother-in-law. Kukirik glimpsed Litha Kak sitting beside her left and Assistant Yan standing beside her right. "Is there anything you want to say?" smith again.

I faced Assistant Yan with my head bowed, my hands squeezing each other because my heart was beating irregularly. It makes me nervous and a little sweaty, anxious in case she hates me. I don't want to be hated by him, I want to be more familiar talking to him.

"I'm sorry Assistant Yan. I guess you don't mind. I like you so much with those pink pants and it turns out a lot of people like it too, including Ninda's sister."

"Well! What am I talking about? What apologies is this! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot!"

I cursed myself in my heart, not daring to raise my face as there was a flash of fire in the eyes of Brother Litha.

Silent.

All of a sudden, everything in there was loud except for one man, the owner of the pink pants.

"Yan, you didn't throw away your pink pants, did you? You see it's memorable, hahahahahah ..." said Sister-in-law in her laughter, her arm pinched by Kak Litha so as not to tease Assistant Yan whose face was already flushed red.

I went awry, I didn't mean to embarrass him anymore. He must have been more reluctant to forgive me and my punishment would have continued. Now that I was hungry, wanting to eat rice-some bread and snacks that I brought from City A wasn't quite filling my stomach-not to mention that person was Assistant Yan, either, the figure of a grown man I admire, he would definitely dislike me and keep his distance. How'this?

"Nia, why are you crying?" uncle Tino asked, without me noticing I sobbed without a sound.

"I added to my mistake, making Assistant Yan laughed," I said softly, still bowed.

"It." Abyan stroked my head, "You've realized and admitted your mistake correctly. You're great at apologizing to me directly, not everyone has a knight like you. Make it a lesson in your life yes," Assistant Yan kissed the tip of my head with affection, yeah ... I feel it.

My body stiffened, my heart seemed to stop beating and my head became more and more submissive, a danger if they all saw my face that had changed color like a boiled crab. She-she stroked even kissed my head.

Aaa ... Fortunately, I was shampooing.

"Assistant Yan has forgiven me?" my question was slow and hesitant, still bowing my head, but my eyeballs were raised to the top to peek at it.

He nodded then gave me a box of chocolates, "This .. as proof I've forgiven you."

Toengs.

My head was hit by a big bell in the monastery tower that made me look and almost fainted.

"A– What is this? Chocolate boy? I like chocolate. Thank you Assistant Yan," I spontaneously raised my face and grabbed the brown box, "But can I ask for something? Just one ..." I said raising my index finger in front of his face.

"Cih, be loved for the heart," continued Sister-in-law.

"Haishh .. no matter, take care of your fierce wife" my heart.

"What?" asked Assistant Yan softly.

"Ahh ..why can Assistant Yan be this gentle when I have made a mistake. She does match very well with pink in accordance with her soft heart. God, how will he treat his woman. Had Assistant Yan my age maybe I fell in love with him, ahhh,"

"Engg .. let Shortpink FC remain. I will delete all the photos that have been shared before, then I will ask for permission first," I asked with the sweetest smile.

Ppff.

The elder sister held her laughter again. Brother Litha pinched her husband's arm, telling him to keep up the attitude. Uncle and Aunt look awkward to hear my request because Assistant Yan's expression is not as warm as before.

"Eh, this child .. really yes, it's been given heart." This time Brother Litha who spoke, was willing to nag again but her husband's eye gesture undoes his intention.

Silent.

"Why should it remain?" assistant Yan asked me seriously.

"Engg .. because we like to talk about Assistant Yan."

"HUH! WHAT!"

Almost everyone said it at once.

"Are there no artists you can gossip about?" assistant Yan Protest.

"We don't like gossiping about thrill-seeking artists, it wastes our energy in vain. We better talk about high quality singles like Assistant Yan. And you know, whose source of information? Brother Ninda!"

Yes, all this time I have always asked Assistant Yan about Brother Ninda,

"Gosh my god." Brother Litha patted his forehead.

Brother-in-law could not hold back her laughter anymore. He let go of the room, laughing and saying, "Yan, imagine Bona's face if he heard what Nia just said, huahahahaha ..."

Again Litha pinched her husband's arm, but she was also holding back laughter. Pppfft ....

"Hahahaha .. it is Nia. Soon Assistant Yan will have his woman. Stop talking about other people who have no benefit" said Litha.

"Who?" my brother with a racing heart.

"Who's what?" Brother Litha instead asked back not connecting, I saw Assistant Yan's face flushed back.

"Maybe, Nia. But every photo you want to share should have my permission. I go home first, Ray, Madam and all. Good night," Assistant Yan said with a respectful bow.

I knew he was deliberately diverting and changing the subject so that I would no longer pursue questions that made me very curious. This news is good as the gossip material of fellow Shortpink FC members, but- why does this heart feel claustrophobic. Am I experiencing a lack of oxygen?
