The Undying Past
PART 19 ~ WHAT'S UP, SISTER ?!

A million hopes Najib had hung on the grandfather who had just been taken flying high by the plane that brought him to Japan. So excited that Najib forgot to ask for the address to be addressed by the Emir's grandfather in the sakura country.

Meanwhile, at the same time far across the sea, a young woman was sitting enjoying her work. Well, that young lady is Aleya. Not wanting to return to the homeland finally the young woman decided to open a small restaurant business by serving Indonesian food. Although new but the visitor is good and he already has some servants. It's just that for the business of concocting spices Aleya still intervenes.

Aleya is a hardworking woman and does not want to bother the family of her adoptive parents who still have a daughter named Keiko. Although both of his adoptive parents are of Indonesian descent but settled in Japan for a long time even his daughter was born in the sakura region.

"Sister, mama misses Celya. When the sister returned home, "Although born in Japan, Keiko's parents still use Indonesian as the language of instruction in their family.

Mama Erin does not want her son to forget Indonesia as his homeland. However, the blood that flows in Keiko's body is partly the blood of beloved Indonesia.

"A week ago we were at my mom's house. Don't miss Celya, she has to learn independently early on." Aleya was getting busy and she couldn't part with her little girl.

However, unfortunately, Erin and Akihiro's mother's partner to him and his daughter, but Aleya did not want to trouble the family. It was enough for Aleya to be granted a place to stay seven years ago.

"Oh sister, the silent house without the range of Celya," Now Keiko began to play the drama hoping Aleya would be moved.

"Eatya quickly married and had children, free beautiful face but not good behavior," Not to be intrigued, Aleya actually mocked the girl while chuckling. They are like siblings.

Keiko really put herself as a sister as well as Aleya who always considered Keiko her own younger sister. Aleya's hard and single life makes her very grateful to meet a kind new family.

"Ck, I'm not ready yet brother. After all, taking care of yourself is hard," Keiko didn't want to give up. Every time he was urged to get married, the reason was not ready when his age was enough to get married.

Keiko still wants to enjoy her youth and does not want to be bothered with the presence of a man in her life. Sometimes Aleya felt jealous of her foster sister who could freely go here and there with her friends. He had to fight at his young age.

Najib's actions under the influence of either drink what his name makes Aleya's life a mess. Luckily, he was able to finish college even though he had to take care of a child. The presence of Celya who is still a baby makes her have to face the rigors of life. He has to divide his time working, attending college and taking care of Celya. Lucky to meet Erin's mom.

"Goodoo," Aleya muttered rubbing her face. Realizing his mistake has regretted the past that has happened.

"What's up, brother ?!" Keiko looked at Aleya's pretty face, at a glance the girl saw a sad bias adorning her brother's face.

"It's okay. Oh yeah what does Keiko want to eat?! You have never been to Indonesia so how about eating food alone, yes count to refract your tongue with Indonesian food." Aleya switched the conversation, she did not want to recall her past.

"Mama used to cook Indonesian food," Keiko prestige admitted if in fact he was not familiar with Indonesian cuisine. But so unkempt he began to read one by one the menu listed and see the picture of the meal.

"So what the hell, it was sad now smiling. Big brother is healthy, right ?!"

Plaaakkkk

"His son, a healthy older brother wal afiat and planning to marry a Japanese man," Aleya hit his sister's shoulder and joked.

"Seriously want to marry a Japanese ?!" Unexpectedly Keiko actually responded to him seriously.

Keiko was excited to hear Aleya's words about marriage for the first time. If Aleya married a Japanese then her brother would definitely settle in Japan and he would not be lonely.

"Of course if the man will accept and love Celya." Aleya looked at Keiko's pretty face seriously. A typical Japanese face inherited by Papa Akihiro.

"My friend's brother once asked me about Aleya's sister. Looks like he's interested in big brother." Keiko was so enthusiastic. He did not know that Aleya did not intend to marry.

Having Celya was enough for him. Aleya didn't want to take the risk that getting married would make Celya happy. Any man in this world would not be able to accept his stepson sincerely.

"Keiko will eat what, let sister cook all for Celya. Brother's stomach has also asked for his rights." Aleya didn't want to discuss more about marriage.

To him, all these are just words. Aleya did not want to seriously think about marriage. For him to raise Celya with an abundance of affection has been very happy. Although the presence of Celya in this world without marriage ties but does not reduce Aleya's gratitude.

Without wasting any more time, Keiko pointed at some menus that looked tantalizing. Rendang, opor and fried chicken for Celya.

Keiko patiently waited for Aleya who was busy in the kitchen with her cooking utensils while the chef for her restaurant was busy cooking orders of her diners.
