Against Restu
MR Chapter 71: Can't yet forget

Arriving at home, the maid who had mistakenly wrapped the painting immediately approached Anne and prostrated herself before her. Anne spontaneously moved away.

" No, I asked. I was completely unintentional and__"

Instead of scolding, Anne helped the maid to stand up.

" I'm sorry, but don't let it happen a second time. And I also don't like Mbak prostrating like that," said Anne who did not like to see people too humble themselves in front of him.

The maid nodded. " Thank you Non, thank you .., "the maid was relieved that Anneta had forgiven her without scolding or firing.

Afterwards, Anne immediately left the maid. Both of his feet continued to step towards his painting studio. Anne again stared at some of the series in memories paintings neatly displayed in the room. This series of paintings, illustrates the demands of memory together with someone who until this moment has not gone from his heart and memory. Someone who turns out to have a deep enough meaning for his life.

The more Anne tried to forget, the more she wanted to stay in her heart. Therefore, rather than continue to lie to yourself. Anne chose to pour all her memories into a painting she titled in memories.

" It's been a month, but why haven't I forgotten you yet, brother? How are you doing now? Must be happy, right?" Anne monologues while staring at the series in memories paintings.

Unasked, the clear circle dripped back over Anne's cheeks. The beautiful girl immediately removed the clear circle, then tried to hold back so that her tears would not fall again. Anne hates her crying self when she thinks back to Brian. Maybe, because Brian was the first man to make her fall in love so it's hard for Anne to forget about him.

Moreover, for several months of being in a relationship, their relationship went well, without any internal problems and was very happy. But, suddenly had to run aground in the middle of the road. Whereas, previously Brian himself said he would fight until the end, but in fact only got here.

When Anne came out of her room, she accidentally bumped into Kean.

" Sister" said Anne.

Kean smiled

"Can you talk to Anne?" ask Kean.

" What do you want to say, brother?" Anne asked again.

" We go in first."

" Want to talk inside?"

Kean nodded. " Yes, you both want to see the latest collection of sister's paintings," Kean said as he embraced Anne's body back into the painting studio.

Kean circulated his gaze looking around the contents of the painting room. Although the design has not changed from the last time he entered, but for paintings it seems to increase.

" When did you, last brother came in here." Kean seemed to recall the last time he entered his sister's painting studio.

" If not wrong ... since Brother married and moved to his own house, deh!" answer Anne.

" oh, huh? Pretty long, too, yeah."

" Yes ... That is, my brothers who like to move live elsewhere after marriage. In fact, this house is very enough to accommodate many people," said Anne.

Kean smiled as he gently rubbed Anne's head. " Later, if Anne is married .. there will also be a desire to live in her own home, " explained Kean.

" It doesn't seem like it, " replied the original Anne.

" why? "

" Yes ... You don't know when to get married, so you don't know if you want to stay at home or stay here with Mama and Papa" said Anne with a flat face.

Kean held both of his beloved sister's shoulders." If it was time, Anne would get married. "

Anne smiled.

" Um ... Who wouldn't, huh?" Anne tapped her chin like she was thinking.

" What a hell is the answer. "

" Yes ... Because there is no candidate Brother ...," said Anne by putting on a clear face. While Kean laughed at the expression and behavior of his sister.

" A little more! Remember, it is forbidden to laugh at a lonely single person, "the joking Anne that makes Kean laugh even more. However, the laughter was instantly gone when he saw some paintings neatly lined up in the corner of the room.

Looking at Kean who walked over to the forgotten in memories painting on the lid, made Anne run and stand in front of Kean to block it.

" What's wrong with you, Anne?" kean asked confused by his sister's behavior.

" Said he was gonna talk, so we'll just talk on the couch." Anne tried to distract Kean from seeing the painting. Anne's embarrassed if her sister finds out she can't move on.

" Anne ...," called Kean with a cold face.

" We'll just go, brother. Don't___"

Kean removed Anne's body to the side so she could see the painting. While Anne was already looking restless when she saw Kean observing the painting.

" You still love her, Anne?" Kean asked, but with a more gentle tone of speech.

Anne was silent and lowered.

" What's wrong with you, Anne?" brian asked, helping to raise Anne's head.

" Pardon Anne for not being able to forget, "please Anne with eyes that have already condensed.

" Why did Anne apologize? Anne is not wrong because she loves someone and it is difficult to forget when she is no longer together. Because in reality, these two things are not easy for some people. Maybe you never feel heartbreak because of a breakup, but you can understand. "

" If Anne can't forget it, just let it all go like running water. Don't push yourself too hard if you can't. "

Hearing Kean's words so wise, made Anne moved and immediately hugged her Brother. He never thought if his brother who is famous for being indifferent, cold like a two-door refrigerator can actually understand his feelings.

That's how Kean actually cares about the problems of the people around him. Only, he had his own way of responding to every problem that existed. Rather than talk a lot in front and make Anne more depressed, Kean prefers to do actions that are never expected.

" Thank you, sister," said Anne who increasingly tightened her embrace. During this time, Kean was the most silent and did not comment much when knowing the relationship of Anne and Brian.

Afterwards, Kean rubbed the remains of tears that wet his sister's pretty face. Then, invite Anne to sit on a sofa in the room.

" Is it better?" ask Kean before starting the delayed conversation.

Anne nodded.

" So, can you start the conversation?" his permission.

" Please."
