The Heart of Vania
The Dream that Exists

"You know about the Moon River Kingdom, the Ragnaya Tribe and the Crown Princess, right?"

"Ma– sorry Brother."

I lowered my head, a body language to admit I was wrong for stealing the conversation that night.

"I accidentally heard, if Aunt Rima wanted to talk about serious things with Sister-in-law As long as I knew Auntie, she never joked about the things she was going to say, unlike Uncle who jokes a lot. So I followed you into the study to hear more."

"But my work space in the main house is soundproof. How could our conversation be heard by you outside?" ask the confused brother-in-law.

I raised my bowed head and sighed, remembering the carelessness of those who gave me the opportunity to eavesdrop.

"Aunt Rima closing the door is not perfect. I could push that door without having to press the handle– so I pushed a little. Brother-in-law and Aunt talked so seriously that I didn't realize I was making a little wider the door slit."

Brother-in-law's turn let out a long and heavy sigh, her eyes closed, looking like she was thinking about something, "How do you feel after knowing it?"

My feelings? I'm speechless.

"No idea, Brother ... After that I looked for information about what I heard at that time. There isn't much literature discussing the Moon River Kingdom either print or electronic, but at least I got a little outer skin. The kingdom was actually named Ragnaya Kingdom which is located on the side of the Moon River that divides Island X, precisely in the area of BX after the Ragnaya Tribe won a long war between tribes in terms of the existence of the region. The tribe fought alone without any coalition like the other tribes.

The largest and longest river on the island became a livelihood and a center of civilization for tribal empires that had a speciality in the female gender. As the development of the territory of the Ragnaya Kingdom became more widespread and eventually became known as the Moon River Kingdom after they knew the religion of animist beliefs held by their ancestors before.

The Kingdom was not as well echoed in public as other Kingdoms or Sultanates, for some reason the King did not want to introduce it to the world. There is even a village that is thought to be the center of the kingdom can not be visited carelessly, only the natives and descendants of the results of marriage for 3 generations with people outside the Moon River Kingdom. It must also be proven by a clear pedigree on the officers there who usually become the Head of the Village or Lurah. The BX regional special rules for a settler living there are very detailed and strict.

The residents of the BX area are economically very prosperous, this makes the people there very loyal to their King. While the government under the Governor still refers to regulations and National Laws, including, but some hypothesize that it is just a mere mask because if viewed further regional regulations still emphasize more rules belonging to the Moon River Kingdom. I think this is the reason why the King does not want to publish his kingdom, to avoid regional polemics in this country and still be able to run the rules of the kingdom underground without the interference of the central government."

I explained some of the information I got from my search results and analysis that night like a presentation in front of the teacher.

"Where do you know, I have found nothing about the kingdom myself?" ask Sister-in-law. He couldn't cover my amazement at my ability to dig up information.

I chuckled, "Because all this time Brother-in-law was too pampered by Assistant Yan. Big Brother-in-law did not gain anything from moving on his own without Assistant Yan. Let me guess, you can't tell her this secret, can you?"

His eyelids opened bigger, a sign of him being shocked and my words were right.

"You haven't told your sister, have you?" ask Sister-in-law.

I shook my head, "He could be in shock if he found out, Brother. But one day Litha must still know the truth, let alone this is our origin."

"No! No need to tell him, I'm afraid he'll figure everything out. I don't want to lose it," frantic Sister-in-law********** both of her hands.

"By being the crown princess is what Brother-in-law means? Since when did Brother Litha get tempted on earthly possessions? He likes money but doesn't judge everything by money– the same as me."

"It's not a matter of worldly possessions, Nia. There is a sad story behind it all. And I'm just afraid your brother wants to fix it. I'm afraid he would prefer that kingdom over the Pradipta Family."

Hahaha ... it was very clear the panic and anxiety on Big Brother-in-law's face. Sometimes I ask myself what has Brother Litha done or given to Sister-in-law until she is so loving and so afraid of losing her wife.

"Haiyah ... It's impossible. For Brother Litha, his home is the Pradipta Family. My brother loves Sister-in-law very much."

"Whatever you say. But I don't want him to know, period. Watch if he finds out,! Then it's from your mouth and I don't hesitate to take your allowance back, '" Sister-in-law threatened.

"Sad. But if one day Brother Litha finds out, I won't interfere. I'm enough to say my mouth is locked by Brother-in-law, so later Brother-in-law will have to deal with it," I did not accept the threat of him wanting to withdraw my allowance.

"As long as you don't tell him, he won't know. This is only known to the two of us besides Uncle Tino and Aunt Rima."

Silent moment.

I lowered my head back, confirming Brother-in-law's remark. As long as we keep our mouth shut, Litha will not know the truth. But is this true? I don't want to be a big liar anymore for a big brother who trusts me so much, but I don't want to create a new polemic either. We also never knew all this time about the origin of the Mother's family. I thought following what Brother-in-law said earlier was not a bad thing. I just want Kak Litha's family to be happy, unlike Father and Mother as well as Uncle and Aunt who have been hiding all their lives.

"But how are Auntie and Uncle? Are they okay?" tanyaku.

"I can't call them because they always change their numbers when they call me. Last time Aunt Rima called when your sister was in the hospital and she just told me not to worry about them. They'll look for a chance to see you."

My mind was empty, my heart felt squeezed firmly. The opportunity? Is that chance still there? Little information I got that the power of the Moon River Kingdom could not be underestimated. That is the reason Mother and Aunt Rima changed identities and faked their deaths plus bribed parties related to a fantastic price.

"Is there still a chance?"

I repeated the question again in my heart with my head down. My tears rose in the corner of my eyes, I quickly wiped so that Brother-in-law would not see him, lest he see my weak side again. But what a power, I'm just a human being who misses my dear ones who have left so much. These tears I can't hold until I've cut a river on my cheek.

"I miss them, Sis ... Sometimes my mind always imagines bad things happening to them."

Brother-in-law smiled wryly, "The past few days, Litha complained that you have trouble sleeping at night. Better check yourself out, if you want– I'll introduce you to a competent psychiatrist. Don't keep it alone, Nia. You're my sister, not my sister-in-law. If you need anything, don't hesitate to rely on your brother. From now on don't call me Sister-in-law, just big brother."

My heart warms, I feel the affection of Brother-in-law the same as my brother. Of course I'm very happy my dream materialized– big brother who always protects and can count on.

"Nia, look at me!" her word.

I lifted my head that had been bowed, leaving a trail of creeks on my cheek.

I commented smilingly, "Sister, there's no need to worry about me too much, at least I can take care of myself. It's precisely my sister's wife who must be extra protected, yesterday we almost lost it."

"Yes, it was my fault, letting him go home alone with Mr. Sas in the middle of the night. I forgot as hard as Mr. Sas, he's old."

"So .. Can I be allowed to learn to drive a car? And one more– I want to join Kickboxing. Off the record this is yes Brother, can run out I will be lectured by Brother's wife."

Yess!

I got a golden opportunity to ask again for my desire to learn to drive a car. This intention I had conveyed when Litha repeated many years, but she rejected it on the grounds that I was not ready. Aih, not ready what? He was the one who worried too much about me. This time I will directly ask Brother-in-law, hopefully it will be allowed.

"Sad. Not allowed to learn to drive even added to want to join Kickboxing," said Brother-in-law supporting his forehead with one hand.

"That's one of my efforts to protect myself in layers, brother. I don't want to someday trouble people to take care of me. I have to be independent, I can do everything. Brother simply allowed me without telling Brother Litha," I persuaded not to give up.

Brother-in-law chuckled, "What a good reason you are, Nia. But as soon as my wife found out, I was the one who suffered. You know, I can't sleep if I split the room with Litha."

"Noh ... Just chill. Brother Litha would think many times over before saying Sister-in-law slept in another room, because in fact she was also tormented if she did not kiss her husband's armpits while going to sleep."

Big Brother-in-law's eyes were rounded yet there was a happy smile imprinted on his face. It turned out that this easily persuaded Young Master Pradipta, hahaha ...

"I can't imagine you're LDR" I said.

"will not. I can't be far from my heavenly angel. I'm with him or he's with me. Even if he dies I die too" said Sister-in-law seriously.

Deg.

My heart stopped beating. I was a little traumatized by death and passing without any news, then what did I just hear? It was a joke, but I don't like that kind of joke.

"Then– I how about Brother two ma– ti."

"It is better that I who die leave you first than you who die first. I can't bear the pain of being left behind anymore."

"Who's dead?" ask a woman.

The voice belonged to Kak Litha who had just entered the room followed Assistant Yan from behind.

"Sister said that Brother Litha died he also died, and so I how? Everyone leave me." I complained to him.

"I'll take care of you. You're so scared that they're dead, Little Wasp. Doesn't every living thing in this world die?" timpal Abyan's.

I smiled cynically, it was true he said but if I could just ask God for a sequence of calls, I would take the queue sequence number first.

"Mas, what the hell is that talking!" ketus Kak Litha silenced the view of her husband.

Sister-in-law was confused and misbehaved but she couldn't do or say anything, even modeling me with a purpose that I didn't understand.

As I tried to understand the meaning of Brother-in-law's eye code, Brother Litha hugged and gently rubbed my head up to my back while whispering, "If I die, I will be the ghost that continues to follow you. So you won't feel left out, hehehe ...."

"Sister! Iiih ... I'm really sad, this loh," I snorted as if to unravel his embrace.

"People are still alive and talk about death. You guys don't scare me because soon I will risk my life giving birth to the successor of the Pradipta family. Haissshhh .." grumbled Kak Litha walking towards the sofa, willing to sit down.

Unexpectedly, suddenly Brother-in-law immediately calmed down and knelt before his wife who was already sitting on the sofa, "Honey ... I beg– promise me, to our son that you will be safe in childbirth. You will fight life for us, Litha. I beg– begging you very much, Darling ...."

Kak Litha's eyes glared at Assistant Yan who was also confused by her husband's spoiled attitude, but the shady-looking man simply nodded, hinting my sister to follow Brother-in-law's wishes.

"So Brother-in-law who coded me, now Brother Litha and Assistant Yan are coding each other. Do adults like to use code rather than words? What is the difficulty of their speech functioning properly. Haishn ... I really don't understand" I murmured in my heart

Brother Litha relented, rubbed her husband's hair and tried to give understanding, "Yes, yes– for sure. I can live without you too. I will be with you all my might, no matter what happens, because–"

"Because my home is the Pradipta Family."

I cut off the romantic phrase of Brother Litha, as a result of which all eyes were pointed at me sharply. Oh, did I make a mistake?

"Nia, that's my part. You Wasp!" my brother was upset.

Haha ...

"Sorry Brother, I deliberately did so as to clear my Sister-in-law's doubts to you. I want Brother-in-law to be sure and believe that your home is the Pradipta Family even if the crown princess's chance is right in front of your eyes."
