The Heart of Vania
Don't Think Too Far

I'm very happy that Tisha's sister has returned to the Capital despite the fact that she has to undergo further therapy and treatment. Far away to the country people even get triggers that trigger their anxiety and fear.

"They just stay here, if there's Kak Tisha why-why no family can help," I complained approaching her who was playing with Baby Zean.

He was silent and smiled, a smile that was just a curved line upwards without feeling. His hands were tickling the stomachs of our cute nephew.

"Honor his decision. If Kak Tisha does not feel well there, she can immediately go home with her private plane Mas Rayyendra," Kak Litha.

"Hayn ... That's called troubling others."

Plaque.

My arm is on the edge of Brother Litha, "Take care of your talk!"

I locked my mouth, conscious of a mispronunciation. Anxiethy Tisha's sister reappeared after the family of the elderly grandfather who was admitted to the nursing home agreed to fulfill the request of the grandfather including his grandson who would be betrothed to her. It turned out that made psychic Kak Tisha disturbed, symptoms of depression began to appear so we finally picked her up home. Doctor Siska stated that the biggest trigger for Kak Tisha is an intense relationship between female men. My eldest brother had a deep trauma to past stories that recorded that any man close to him would hurt like Lucas.

Surprisingly, the granddaughter immediately agreed to be betrothed to Kak Tisha and openly expressed her feelings, like love at first sight. Tisha's sister refused and applied for leave because her resignation letter was rejected by the foundation. It turns out that only recently, the grandfather who likes Kak Tisha is the main donor of the nursing home where Kak Tisha works. So there is no need to explain the reason why my brother's resignation was rejected.

"I'm sorry, I'm troubling you, Tha. Give me some time to be independent, after which I won't trouble you anymore" said Tisha.

Immediately guilt struck me let alone the pointy fingers of my second brother pinched my thigh. I endured the pain without a sound. His hands are hell to me.

"Sir Tisha said anything, anyway! I'm glad you still need me, anytime. Don't take the heart of Nia's talk, sister. Know for yourself that he's talking, nyelekit."

Sister Tisha smiled, a smile that belonged to my mother and Madame Pradipta. A smile that can hypnotize the eyes. The upper lip curve is symmetrical with the shape of the lips that fit, not thick and not thin so that it can warm the ice of the heart and cool the anger of all who look at it. Unlike my smile that judges, the same as my grandmother's smile from Dad, huh.

"I'm so grateful to have you. Thank you," said Kak Tisha wiping the corner of her watery eyes.

"Sorry Brother, I didn't mean to offend you" I said feeling guilty.

"I might be offended if someone else says it, but you're Vania, who doesn't know your sharp sentences, like–"

"Mbah Temi, argghhh .." I was upset to know what Tisha would say.

Both my brothers looked at me angry. Yes, somehow my emotions peak if equated with Mbah Temi who judges and likes to insinuate Mother.

"But let Zean love Aunt Nia so much" Litha consoled me.

"But Nia, are you talking like that with your fiancee? Doesn't he take offense to every word of yours that stabs sometimes?" ask Tisha suddenly.

Ck. I clucked, upset.

Brother Litha held her son up for whining about thirst, while taking out the source of ASI and thrusting into the tiny mouth of Little Young Master, she casually said, "Their relationship is complicated, Brother. I don't understand any of them either."

"Bunty Lidya seems to like you a lot."

"Before becoming his son's fiancee, Aunt Lidya had indeed liked Vania, which confused the two of them ... Absurd."

"What–"

"Already, Brother. Don't talk about it anymore. I don't like."

"Ba– how not to like? You guys are engaged. Surely it is a nice thing to talk about our partner, like Litha and her husband," asked Kak Tisha in astonishment who did not know my background and Assistant Yan became an official pair of lovers in the eyes of the people.

Brother Litha spread his shoulders, not wanting to know and busying himself to correct the position of his nursing son.

"Oh yes, Brother. Tomorrow she said Litha sister wants to go to the office of Sister-in-law huh? Can you just ask for a minute?" ask me to divert the conversation.

"What's wrong?" Brother Litha asked back but his face was reluctant to switch from Zean's bead which was staring at his mother's affection.

"There's someone I want to introduce to Brother-in-law, and there's Brother Litha too."

His face immediately turned towards me, "Who?" tanyanya.

"Later. Can't you?"

"Ck. Not a girl, right?" his voice immediately changed.

"No. Can't you?" ask again.

"mrs ... Tomorrow at 10 am I and Mas Rayyendra have a scheduled meeting with Mr and Mrs Anderson of AutoTech Inc. at the office until lunch. Maybe after that you can bring it, I'll tell Mas Rayyendra to make time."

"Okay," I replied smiling, "Son Litha is not curious about who it is?"

"Well, I asked you, but you said later. This is the child, ckckck ...."

Brother Tisha laughed, "Hahahah ... Already know your sister this one is the cuckiest, most anti-interference and want to know the affairs of others not like you, Nia. Uh, but now it's not, is it?"

"One more time he was eavesdropping, cut off his ear," replied Brother Litha who made me shudder.

"Eh Brother, did you say tomorrow the founder of AutoTech Inc. to Sister-in-law's office?"

"Hem."

"Wuihhh .. really cool Sister-in-law in collaboration with AutoTech Inc. because I know the giant digital company is very fussy in choosing a business partner."

"Eitz! It was also your brother's meddling. Just ask your sister-in-law or your fiancee, who they want to present when the Pradipta Corp. offer is submitted" said Kak Litha proudly.

"Tha, Zean's asleep. Here, I help put him in the box" said Kak Tisha stretched out her hand to hold our niece.

"Ah yes, tumben just next to the drink, usually must be left right first and then he was satisfied."

"Maybe Zean felt like he had heard the voices of his mother and two aunts talking. Isn't that right, darling? You're so handsome .... So dutiful, loving, strong and brave boy, Zeandra." Kak Tisha's soft voice whispered to Baby Zean who was fast asleep and about to be transferred to the baby box.

"In addition to having a professional relationship, Mr and Mrs Anderson want to establish a personal relationship. So I took the initiative to invite them to dinner here" said Kak Litha while fixing her clothes.

"Oh yeah? What makes them interested in a personal relationship?"

"Eitherway. I got to know someone before AutoTech Inc. answered the Pradipta Corp bid proposal. I didn't expect it to turn out that he was Mr.'s nephew and right-hand man. Anderson is on vacation in City A. He's the one who asked me to do a percentage instead of the CEO of Pradipta Corp. himself"

"Hahaha .. existing Mas Rayyendra was very jealous, even though the percentage was recorded to be sent to Mr. Anderson for not being able to follow him directly," said Litha, we laughed.

This kind of atmosphere is what we miss, gather and have a warm chat. So far I feel very sorry for my older brother, said Kak Leon, 'father's son'. His mental state made us all worry about his future. He cannot establish an intense relationship with any man because the shadows of his painful past are still firmly entrenched and make him feel worthless in anyone's eyes. Hopefully Kak Tisha can get a true soulmate who can accept her condition sincerely and be able to help overcome her psychic trauma, gratitude can heal.

...***...

The next day Nezar refused outright when I expressed my intention to take him to the headquarters of Pradipta Corp. The curly-haired man who was tied carelessly did not have the guts to face Brother-in-law let alone make a confession.

"Nia, it's called you want to kill me. You know for yourself the temperament of Young Master Pradipta, he is known to be very emotional."

"That was. It has now diminished since he got married and became a father. Take it easy, there's a safety lever there so you don't have to be afraid," I persuaded by patting him on the shoulder, "Say you'll fight for me. He's my guardian now, inevitably you'll have to face him, unless you've given up and we'll be friends forever."

For a second, Nezar's two seconds were full of worries to express his willingness.

"alright. I couldn't give up before the yellow janur curved," he determined later.

"Well, that's dong. Your courage and honesty will add points to my eyes."

Hahaha ... It was easy to persuade Nezar, like a child who was lured with candy to agree with my orders.

"What time are we there?"

"Today the last course is only until 12:30 right? We eat first, just go there. Sister-in-law and Brother Litha are also entertaining guests from AutoTech Inc. so there is no need to rush."

"AutoTech Inc.?"

I nodded, "Keren, right? Pradipta Corp becomes the only partner of AutoTech Inc. in Southeast Asia."

"Nia, can we get there faster? If you need not eat, it is okay to wait. I want to see the owner directly. Working there was my dream since I was in second grade at SMK" he said enthusiastically.

I chuckled, "Heh, it doesn't matter if you don't eat, but my stomach will be troubled and you can imagine what my sister-in-law would do if she knew you were making me hungry."

His mouth is funny, funny, "As far as you are. For my love I beat my big dream."

I heard it, ah ... Nezar, I actually prefer our friendly relationship as it is now but I don't want to discourage you and don't want you to stay away from me. I am selfish, yes .. I am selfish here, giving you hope that I myself do not know the possibility of there or not. I'm sorry, Zar ....

In the headquarters building, we were both waiting in the waiting room of the President Pradipta Corp's floor. His gaze and gestures could not hide the admiration for Brother-in-law's company.

"Young Master Pradipta is amazing to be at his current point" he whispered in a tense sitting position.

I smiled and agreed with her statement, then she whispered again, "Nia, why are all the eyes of the people here asking me like a thief when I'm just sitting quietly."

I chuckled to see Mr. Andi and Mr. Gito as the floor guards of the President and Kak Sasha who was no less careful to pay attention to Nezar.

"That's what they used to do to their guests of the President, hehehe ...."

Kaka Sasha came up to us, "Miss, while waiting does anyone want Miss and Nona's friend to eat or drink?"

"mrs ... We ate before we got here. But if I may ask, just warm chocolate milk, because my friend is frozen to see Mr. Andi, Mr. Gito and Kak Sasha, hahaha ...."

"Haishhh .. has just seen us frozen especially when faced with the Young Master, he can immediately turn into a statue," sahut Kak Sasha who even more intimidated Nezar while the two fathers who were on standby near the elevator chuckled amused.

I laughed and confirmed Sasha's words because Nezar was freezing and his face was turning pale. Luckily, not so long ago two glasses of warm chocolate milk and two plates of delicious snacks from the headquarters premium canteen were available on the table for us.

"Sum up while warm. Brother Litha always gives me warm chocolate milk if I see me restless. He said this drink can relax our minds, "I said thrusting a glass at Nezar.

She took it and tried to enjoy what I just gave her, "Hmmpphhh .. feels better. Thanks."

Clik.

The door of the President's room was opened, we stood up and saw the first authoritative figure coming out of it. He glanced at me, smiling but his smile turned wryly looking at Nezar. As he passed us, his snort sounded rude. That snort caught Litha's attention until her eyes were fixed on the friend I was carrying, her face slightly surprised looking at him.

"Ni– Nia, i– it–"

Uhuk. Nezar coughed and slightly spouted the food that was in his mouth on my face.

"Take your food first if you want to talk. Look, you're gushing me!" my scolding and instantly she silently lowered her head, just like a guilty child.

Without blinking my friend noticed Sister-in-law and Brother Litha interacting with people from AutoTech Inc. Reportedly they are the husband and wife of the owner of the company and a nephew who is believed to be the eyes, ears and hands in running their business.

A middle-aged woman whom I guessed the wife of Mr. Anderson developed his smile on me and nodded respectfully, I spontaneously responded to him the same way.

"Your engagement is very annoying, Nia," Nezar whispered, his eyes attached to Assistant Yan.

I just smiled at him without saying anything. After the elevator closed, the views of Brother-in-law, Brother Litha and Assistant Yan centered on Nezar. Her nervous light came back and she subconsciously squeezed my wrist. Assistant Yan's eyes blocked looking at him.

"Get your hands off! How can you touch her when you're dealing with her fiance!" angered Assistant Yan who instantly made Nezar let go of his grasp.

Brother-in-law and Brother Litha looked at each other, I was also confused why he was so angry? Is Assistant jealous?

"Sorry, I mean it's rude of him to do so in front of your sister Vania. Don't think too far, "he quickly said, maybe he didn't want me to misunderstand.

Ahem.

Brother-in-law cleared her throat then just walked into her room. Brother Litha developed her smile, "It's nice to see you again, Nezar," he said and turned to me saying, "Nia, bring your friend in."

I let Nezar walk first in and then follow him from behind. Passing by Assistant Yan, I tried to smile despite the weight, "Today you have explained to me, Assistant Yan. Just relax ... Whatever you say tomorrow-tomorrow, I won't think too far."

There was no reply from him, only the sound of footsteps galloping behind me. Yup ... I would not be able to touch his heart and I was stupid to still leave his despair while in front of me there was such a great despair for me to ignore. Someone once told me, what we pursue sometimes comes from someone or something else that we actually avoid and that is the drama of life.
