Against Restu
MR Chapter 12: Love in silence

" Brother ... Brother Brian ..." call Anne when he sees Brian just shut up. Even the food he had not touched.

" Yes, what's wrong?" brian was confused.

" His food should not be taken for long, pity that he should be eaten immediately" Anne joked, pointing to Brian's food.

" Oh, yeah."

Brian could only breathe out a long breath when what he had imagined since, did not happen in real.

Anne ... If you knew that I liked you in silence, would you still behave like this while with me? Or just stay away?

Although rarely together, Brian often secretly finds out about Anne. So, she knew that Anne had never been in a relationship with a man.

" Anne, may I ask you something?"

" I can" Anne replied with a smile.

" Em .. doesn't seem to be."

"Sister Brian!" annoyed Anne when Brian started fadming back.

" Tell me or I'll be mad at you big brother!" threaten Anne's. However, Brian simply shook his head and continued eating. Making Anne even more upset, she was the type of person she did not like to be curious about.

" Make people curious it, later can stye you know! " ketus Anne from nyeplos. I don't know, got a sentence from where, the point of the word that spontaneously flashed in Anne's mind.

" What is that?" ask Brian with a frown.

" You, ah. Anyway quick say or___" Anne was up from her seat ready to leave.

"okay ... Okay ... sit down," Brian said with a hand telling Anne to sit back.

After seeing Anne sitting back in her place, Brian began to open up the conversation.

"Look, for example .. if there's a guy who likes you. But, you guys have different beliefs, are you going to accept it?" ask Brian with a serious face. Anne was enthusiastic about listening.

" Different beliefs?" reworked Anne and nodded by Brian.

" It depends, "Anne answered briefly.

" Just so? "ask Brian to make sure again. Cook yes, Anne only answered with one word hanging? No more explanations?

Anne smiled.

" Lagian ... Why is my sister asking like that? Don't-don't you like girls with different beliefs yeah .. "tease Anne semvari wiggling a fork ya towards Brian.

This is Anne, always joking if taken seriously.

" Explain your answer first" urged Brian. Anne was just scolding.

" Yes ... It depends because we are living in a world full of differences so it cannot be denied if there will be such a thing happening. For me personally, no problem. "

" So you're gonna take it?" brian asked, still confused by Anne's answer.

" Um ... Can you please not talk about that?"

" Why? "

" Because____" Anne was confused as to what to answer. Let alone accept the different beliefs, which have never been.

Seeing Brian as he was waiting for an answer from her, made Anne answer as she could. Brian is also his own brother.

" If I don't like it, I'll reject it."

" If you love her?"

" Maybe we can talk about ... Do not discuss such matters because it is very sensitive," said Anne with a face that began to be uncomfortable.

What does the word mean to be spoken of?

After eating, Brian immediately drove Anne home. But he has to meet someone.

The next morning, finish getting ready. Anne immediately went downstairs to have breakfast with her Mom Papa.

" Good Morning, Ma ..," said Anne as she pulled out a chair for her to sit on.

" Good morning too dear" said Mama Dira. Seeing the child and Father who are still in a cold war, without greeting each other. Makes Mama Dira feel awkward and weird. Because they've never behaved like this before.

" When are you getting so tidy on a weekend, Anne? Where you going?" Mama tried to open the conversation so that the atmosphere at the dinner table melted a little more.

" Oh, go to the exhibition hall, Ma. Today there will be a tour of the art school children" Anne said.

" Why go to the exhibition again? Are your feet no longer painful for constant activity?"

" No, Ma. In fact, a lot of activity that will actually spur the muscles and joints so as not to stiff. So, you don't have to worry."

" really? " ask Mama Dira who is a little hesitant.

Anne nodded." Yes, Ma. So, Mama don't have to worry too much. After all, Anne did not work hard or move much. Just welcome their arrival. " Anne tried to find an excuse for her mother not to be too anxious and to prevent her from leaving.

After the meal, Mama Dira continued to code Papa Ken to immediately inform his decision to get their relationship back to normal. Since Papa Ken's rejection a few days ago, and there has been no talk of an overseas college approval, Anne has become colder.

" Anne" called Papa Ken when Anne had just stepped out of her seat.

"What's up, Pa?"

" Can you sit for a minute? There's something Papa wants to talk about," Papa Ken's pinta.

Anne was a little hesitant between sitting down or leaving because she was about time to leave for the exhibition venue. When she saw Anne was a little confused, Mama immediately coded her eyes for Anne to sit down.

" What do you want to say, Pa? Anne was in a hurry. Sally__"

" Do you still want to join the student exchange?" sela Papa Ken's.

Hearing the word student exchange, made Anne instantly nod.

" If you still want to, please sit down first." Anne immediately sat back down to her chair.

Seeing Anne's obedient behavior, Papa Ken wanted to laugh.

" After Papa thought back, Papa will__" Papa Ken deliberately stopped his words so that the princess waited first. And sure enough, Anne seemed very enthusiastic to listen and wait for the continuation of her words.

"What's it, Pa?" asked Anne who was already curious about her Papa's decision. Hopefully, that decision is good news.

" Papa will let you come but___

" Hore .." Anne cheered without waiting for Papa Ken to finish. Anne immediately walked over to Papa Ken and showered her face with a kiss. Anne was like the one who hit the jackpot. While Mama Dira can only laugh out loud to see the adorable behavior of her daughter and the resigned face of her husband.

"came ... Just stop! Papa's face can be tangled!" tell Papa Ken to stop kissing her.

Seeing Papa Ken's face filled with lipstick stains made Anne and Mama Dira laugh together.

" Why are you laughing so much? Is there anything funny?"ask Papa Ken who is still in confused fashion. Mama dira and Anne nodded together.

" Of course, don't laugh anymore. You can take the program, but on condition! " exact Papa Ken.

" Why is there still a condition, Pa? "whimpering Anne. Her happy face instantly became sullen.

" Yes ... What do you want not to? If not yes...

" May ... Mau ...," cut Anne who doesn't want to miss out on that rare opportunity.

" Papa will agree as long as there is an assistant and a bodyguard to keep you there for 24 hours! " All that, Papa Ken did also for the good and safety of Anne. He knew that his daughter had never lived alone, let alone in a land of people.

" What?! " shocked Anne cried when she heard the conditions of her Papa. In fact, Anne had dreamed of being able to live independently and freely. However, all the wishful thinking seemed to disappear when he heard the word assistant as well as bodyguard who will keep it for 24 hours.

" Anne didn't hear wrong, did she, Pa?" Anne tried to make sure she came back.

Papa Ken shook his head which signified that he was serious about his words. Anne's body suddenly relaxed, she glanced at her mother as if asking for help. However, Mama Dira instead gave a code that she had to agree.
