Two Men

Two Men
Holidays


The fresh and cool atmosphere in Bandung makes Kania do not want to wake up. It's good to be spoiled on the bed. Enjoying the joy that is engulfing him.


"Sister, get up." Adit's voice forced Kania to open her eyes. The teenager was in his sister's room. "Sir, wake!" His voice grew louder, making Kania wake up instantly.


"Girls are hard to get up!" gerutu Adit's.


Kania opened her eyes wide, then focused her gaze towards Adit. "You're nothing, anyway, Dek?" A pillow floated up Adit's face. "Always bother me!"


The pillow hit Adit's face. "Wake up angry night!' He is no less upset.


"Sister, right, want a break, Deck. Cape."


"It's seven o'clock, brother. His sister, does not pray? O Allah, Istigfar, sis." Adit shook his head twice. "Sister should be, that's a good example for Adit."


Kania lay down again. His whole body felt crumpled. Adit's arrival just ruined his mood.


"Astagfirullah, went to sleep again. Brother, wake!" Adit pulls Kania's blanket so her brother can wake up.


Kania has to wake up. Face's upset. "Otherwise, anyway, Dek?"


"Sir, don't pray?" Like a father to his son, the height of Adit's voice could be described as such. "It is not good to leave our duty as Muslims."


Kania tired. He breathed a rough breath. "Sir, Brother, another day's off."


Adit's forehead shriveled. "Follow?"


Kania nodded quickly. "Yes." Yeah."


"When can prayer be paid?"


Both of Kania's eyes are perfectly rounded. "You don't understand this?"


Adit thought for a moment, then remembered something. "Oh, are there any guests?"


"Well, that's." Finally Kania did not bother to explain. He pulled back the blanket. Today maybe lazing is his agenda. It's okay, just today. Because he felt less well.


"But don't sleep anymore either. Mother said, the girl must wake up early if she does not want her soul mate taken by people," said Adit.


"Where is a soul mate taken, Dek?" ask Kania.


"Yes, could've."


Hearing that the sleepiness of Kania disappeared instantly. He chose to get out of bed and stand up. "If the name is a mate, people will not be taken."


Adit listened carefully.


"We have been determined equally God will pair whom. Even if later meet people who are not yet right, it could be one of the processes to get to the meeting with our soul mate," continued Kania.


Adit sat on the edge of the bed. He watched his brother comb his long hair. Each strand was never seen by another man other than in the presence of the nuclear family. Adit also prides himself on the obedience of his brother.


"Sister, can I ask you something?" Suddenly Adit's tone was soft. Usually, if this is the case, the boy has a wish. Could be anything.


Kania is shaving her hair. He looked at Adit and said, "What's the matter?"


Adit's face was serious. This is the first time Kania has ever seen.


"Sister, don't you really like Radit?" The question just came out of Adit as if there was no burden.


Kania jerks. 


"Honest, Brother. I'm not gonna leak, I'm." Suddenly Adit became wise. 


Kania observes the face of her younger brother, then moves to sit next to Adit. "Why are you asking?"


"Yes, I want to know." 


"That's all?"


Kania quiet. From Adit's serious face, he could see unusual things. It seems like the younger brother is really in a serious phase.


"Sister, don't lie. Mother said to Papa, we can't lie." Before answering, Adit first gave the information so that Kania did not lie.


Kania's confused. He doesn't believe in Adit, it's just a matter of the heart. Moreover, Adit was still a teenager, he had not been able to filter anything that entered his mind.


"Aren't you going to the garden with Papa, huh? I'm out there" Kania replied, trying to divert the conversation.


Adit's silent. However, his gaze was sharp towards Kania. 


"Later Papa wait," said Kania again.


"Jawab first, Brother!" firmly Adit.


Angry adit. Kania had never seen her little brother like this.


"Say Mother, if we are asked always try to answer!" connect Adit.


Kania. He looked at the ceiling of the room. Maybe share a story with Adit, no problem.


"Where, yeah." Kania worried.


"Say it honestly," said Adit impatiently.


Kania closed her eyes, preparing to reveal what was really going on.


"Sister, it is natural to like people as long as they do not establish relationships that violate the rules of God. So, if you like it, why don't you tell me?" ask Adit.


"The theory is easy, but the practice is difficult" replied Kania who began to open up.


Adit just shut up, let the brother vent the contents of the heart.


"Yes, my real brother, likes Radit. But ... As a woman, it's a shame to start something. Moreover, Papa is very careful his children. Therefore, you can only meet with God," said Kania.


Adit tried to digest every word his earlobe heard. Seeking to draw conclusions from the words of Kania. "Why Brother, don't tell me. Kak Radit was the same time, keep applying Brother. Easy, right?"


Kania chuckles amusedly. The adult world is not as easy as Adit thought. They're more complicated than kids.


"Why laugh, brother?" ask Adit wonder.


Kania sighed, staring at Adit lekat. "Sir, not all business can be that easy. Sometimes we have to know the situation, and the condition of both. There is a phase where we also have to consider many things before taking a step." 


Adit's silent.


Kania grabs Adit's right hand, trying to communicate gently to her sister. "Daddy, don't worry about that. Brother, can hold this feeling yourself. Believe me, we are ordinary humans who are designed to feel love and others. But, we are also equipped with a brain that functions to regulate."


Adit nodded, understood. "Yes, Brother."


"Well, now mending us down. Brother's stomach, hungry." Kania touched her belly wrapped in light blue pajamas. "Mother, don't cook, huh?"


"Pulp. Adit bantin. Brother who hasn't woken up!"


Kania gave a small laugh as she got up from her seat. "Sister, tired. The whole body feels crumpled."


Adit follows the trail of Kania. "Eat him, don't think of Radit mostly. It's staying up late." Adit's back to the shitty phase. The boy stuck out his tongue, rubbing Kania.


"Addit!" Kania furious. He wanted to pinch the Little Sister, but Adit first acted by running out of the room.


"Bun, Brother, fierce!" screams loudly.


Patience of Kania is always tested with the behavior of Adit. But he was never angry for long. Because the love of a big brother is so great. So, almost equivalent to parents in children.


"If it wasn't for Brother, I'd be the son of a bitch!" Kania stroked his chest twice. He must continue to be patient during the face of Adit. "Istigfar, Nia."
