Berlin, Germany.
" Meer..., do you know yet?" Lenox asked Almeer who was swimming in the pool.
Almeer who heard Lenox's voice immediately stopped and turned his head to the man in the doctor's suit who was standing at the side of the pool. Seeing from the appearance and the briefcase that is still in his hands, this om must have just returned from the Hospital.
" Omm just got home? Know what om?" Ask Almeer.
" Hmmm yes, om just came home and immediately rush to see you here. Because I thought, you must be happy with the news that will be delivered this out..."
Almeer grew curious and immediately moved aside.
" What news om?, make me very curious like.." said Almeer increasingly curious, he was also seen so hurried to get to the edge of the pool.
" So Meer, tonight at WB is having deliberation for your engagement day with Aivy, and Meera and Saga, you really don't know?" lenox.
" W..what??, the time is om?. Kok daddy mommy ngabarin nothing!, Aivy also kok diem-diem bae her..." Almeer said in surprise, but with a happy expression. Even the young man seemed to rush up to finish his activities.
" Ow!! yuhuiyy!! Almeer to the room first want VC-an with Aivy he.he..."
Almeer immediately grabbed the towel and ran small towards his room. But not too far away the young man stepped, suddenly he turned around again and turned his lips to kiss Lenox's cheek quickly. Then he turned around and ran into the house.
" Thank you for the good news, love you so much." cried Almeer before actually opening the door to enter.
While Lenox shook his head in dismay staring at Almeer's departure. Honestly, Lenox loved Almeer more than Luigi's son. Weird right?
Sure did! and that sounds unfair to Luigi, but that's what happened.
Brugh...
Almeer threw his body into the bed after finishing his bath and changed clothes. Her hands were fumbling at her phone that was lying on her bed.
" Sister Almeer is looking for this?" Tania, daughter of Wari and Lenox.
" Yes, how is it with you?" Almeer did not like it and just grabbed his phone.
The young man hated disrespectful behavior, and at this moment in his eyes Tania had been disrespectful.
First, Tania just left and was in her room without permission, without knocking on the door.
Second, his phone was in Tania's hands a while ago. Because for him the phone is a personal thing that should not be held by others.
" There were muffling noises, so Tania picked up!!" Legally.
" Sassy!!!, out!!" Almeer exclaimed furiously.
" Cihhh!!!, very good!!" Decih Tania's.
" Bodo time!!" reply Almeer fast.
He glanced at the little princess of Lenox and Wari with an annoyed look.
" Whose call was the one you picked up" Almeer asked before Tania actually came out.
" Brother Aivy..." Answer Tania honestly.
" What did Aivy say?"
" Just order a prayer, Brother Almeer told him to call him when he's done swimming.." Tania again.
" Ohh!!, yes. Next time don't take off Almeer's cell phone!, don't just go in Almeer's room too!, understand Tania?" Flick Almeer again.
" Yee..., understand...." Sahut Tania.
After making sure the door of his room was closed perfectly, Almeer immediately positioned his body as comfortably as he could. Because it is certainly predictable, VC-an with Aivy will not be enough for one hour, not even infrequently they will continue to chat until Aivy really has fallen asleep.
The voice of the waiting tone now sounded, Almeer faithfully waited by stroking his lips slowly. The news he received from Lenox a while ago was a mood booster for him to finish his language material quickly.
" Yes Brother Al, Assalammualaikum.." The sweet voice that he missed was now heard.
But his voice was outnumbered by the noise around. Seen on the screen of her phone Aivy's face was in the middle of her extended family at White Base.
" Dear..., is there time?, is it busy again?" Almeer asked politely, understanding very well Aivy's current condition.
" No, wait a minute, brother. Aivy moved into the room first.."
Aivy's voice was gone, and the image on Almeer's phone screen was blackened.
For a while Almeer again stroked his lips, waiting was something he was very unhappy with. Almeer was eleven twelve with daddy Rangga in his disposition and character. Jutek, cold and cueknya also exactly the same, pluck keteplek.
" Yes, brother...Assalamualaikum hello??" Aivy's voice sounded back, even with a face so radiant.
" Dear Wa'alaikumussalam..., Vy?" Say hello to Almeer with hanging words. While his eyes continued to stare closely at the sweet face in front of him.
" Hemmm, yes?. What brother?" Aivy replied with a smile, the results of the family deliberation was so happy. His heart is so flowery.
" Is there something you want to tell me, hemm?, you seem to be very happy?"
Like a fortune teller, Almeer was so apt to guess Aivy's current mood.
" Hemmm, yes. Papa and daddy have agreed..." Aivy's words hang.
" Agreed? About? " Make Almeer impatient.
" About that..."
" Yes, about what?"
" That's...." Sahut Aivy shy.
" Yes, dear Aivy, what is it?" chase Almeer.
Not directly answering Almeer's question, instead Aivy smiled back and his cheeks looked red.
" What dear?, don't be curious dong. You've never heard of someone's death being caused by being too curious, so tell me!, before that happens to me..." Ask Almeer again.
" Ohhh! What the hell na'udzubillah!!" Aivy is fast.
Almeer laughed out loud.
Yes, although he actually knew from Lenox earlier, but judging Aivy this is really fun for him.
Almeer did not force, instead there he was increasingly anxious to see Aivy's shy behavior.
" When is it?" Almeer asked softly.
" What?" Ask Aivy back.
" Our engagement?" Almeer said while commenting on her sweet smile.
Aivy closed her lips, hiding a row of white teeth when now her smile could no longer be held back, a smile that was so wide and bright.
" Second week, two months away.." Answer Aivy.
" Are you happy, baby?, but sister is not.."
Degh!!
Aivy's heart seemed to want to jump from its place. His eyes glared sharply at the screen display where the image of Almeer's face was located.
" What?, what brother?" His voice sounded soft, even like the squeals of a mouse.
Almeer gasped in shock at the change in Aivy's face which now looked so moody.
Oh Astagfirullah I mispronounced...
" Hey, baby!!, that's not what it means. Brother will be a thousand times happier if we just get married, because for brother there is no point in engagement. It's not halal, is it?" Almeer said quickly to clarify his previous remarks.
He will not be able to see the sadness on the face of his heart. Almeer's love and affection were so great, even that sense grew from childhood. At first it was just pity, but that pity gradually turned into an overwhelming sense of love.
Flasback.
About nine years ago in Surabaya, there was his first meeting with Aivy.
Almeer and his family were on vacation at Uncle Vino's best friend daddy Rangga.
As they were taking a walk in Gramedeo that night, Shine suddenly approached them with a confused little girl. And yes, at that time Aivy regardless of Sunny's observation which was still the Binar Buana Sanjaya, Aivy's brother (the story is in the novel Binar Cahya, Twin in love story).
In the eyes of Almeer, Aivy's appearance at that time was very concerning, very contrary to the appearance of his sister Maureen who was the same age as the girl.
The hair is smooth and black, but with a messy sideline direction. A clean and fragrant shirt, but with one button missing and replaced with a safety pin. A beautiful and adorable face, but implied fondness and sadness.
Flashback.
