Find The KEY
Ep. 19

"Run? Run from what? I don't understand the brother's question" Ela replied.

"El please don't lie anymore, you can't hide it from big brother. I am your sister, we share the same meal while in the womb Mama, share breast milk and affection and attention Papa and Mama. I know you're El. The story is all the same brother, don't you sniff yourself. I know how you've been feeling for almost a year" urged Aby.

Ela could only shut up.

"You don't trust big brother anymore to keep all your heart?" Aby tries to convince Ela to tell a story.

Ela took a deep breath.

"I think I'm strong brother. All this time I tried to survive and hope, maybe one day Rafa will glance at me. But the more days I know what my shortcomings are. I can't compete with Lisa to get Rafa's attention" Ela said desperately.

"Hey.why did you give up. You're strong El, you've got advantages that many other women don't have" Aby held Ela's shoulders encouragingly.

Ela took a deep breath.

"Sometimes there are men who don't need strong women, including Rafa. He looks for a weak woman to make her more meaningful near Lisa. He feels needed and can protect. He's looking for a gentle, spoiled woman not a superhero-like woman like me. She needs a physical beautiful woman not a woman so-jets like me sister" said Ela Lirih. Her tears began to flow down her cheeks.

"You're also beautiful El, very pretty. Prettier than Ditha, Sintia and Lisa" Aby said.

"So I'm not saying that because I'm your sister" Ela said.

"No, I saw it from a male point of view. It's just that you've been hiding from your indifference to polish your face. You'd rather look what it is than dress up" Aby replied.

Aby wiped away her sister's tears. Seeing Ela cry made her heart ache. His sister must be so sad at this moment that she shed tears. All this time Aby knew Ela who was strong and not crybaby only this time she saw the weak side of her sister.

It hurts to see our brother hurt. I think this heart is hurting too. Inner Aby.

"Maybe I don't deserve him, brother. Maybe he's not for me. I'm happy to see him happy. Seeing her find a woman who is more everything than me" Ela sobs.

Aby hugged her sister tightly as Ela's cry broke.

"Cup. cup.. cup. You know, it's not like I'm happy over your suffering. I don't know why when I see you crying honestly. It turns out my sister is a woman. All this time I've often asked you this is really a woman or a woman so-so happen yes" Aby comforted her sister.

"I even forgot when you last cried, maybe when we were babies. You fell from a tree, fell down a ladder and got hurt even though you never cried like this. It's so great that Rafa can make you cry" teased Aby.

"What the hell sister" Ela hit her twin sister's chest.

"Where is your heart now relieved?" ask Aby.

Ela nodded her head.

"Please keep the reason for my departure from anyone, sister, including Papa and Mama and also from other friends" said Ela.

Aby gestured to lock her mouth.

"Whatever to you my sister. As long as you are happy, look for your happiness there, you must be smart to take care of yourself and pursue your ideals. Don't forget to enjoy life, be happy. It's probably true that you said Rafa wasn't a man worthy of you. Brother is sure there will be a special boy who will come in front of my beautiful sister" comforted Aby.

"Then we have to have a farewell party with the kids. When are you going to tell them your intention to study abroad?" ask Aby.

"If I'd been accepted into the university where my brother. Soon I will gather them here and I will tell you my plan" Ela replied.

"You're strong yes, big brother is sure you can get through all these trials. Maybe this is our learning to adulthood. Rest assured we will be stronger if we succeed through all obstacles of life. Right now you are fighting maybe tomorrow big brother will fight. And I hope we'll support each other like this until we're old" Aby stroked his sister's head gently.

"Aamiya.. Thank you, brother, you have been my encouragement. Don't forget, even if I'm far away, you have to report everything here" Ela ordered.

"Ready mistress besaaaar" Aby replied with a laugh.

Finally they both laughed ending their important conversation tonight. Without them knowing both their parents watched and heard their conversation from the beginning from behind the door that was slightly open.

Alexa wiped away the tears that were dripping down her cheeks.

"Our son is a teenager dear, he has felt love and heartbreak" said Aditya while hugging his wife's body from behind.

"It must be very painful Mas, exactly as I felt when you went to college in Bandung without saying goodbye to me and when I saw you in your campus mosque, being alone with Love and looking happy talking" Alexa replied.

"Why are you even scraping past wounds yank. It all went by and ended happily. Now that I've become your husband even we have a pair of twins who are smart, handsome and beautiful. Complete already our household yank" entertain Aditya while gently tasting his wife's cheeks.

"But still sad to see my daughter cry like that, from a small we know Mas, Ela is not crybaby and rarely cry even though she is in pain even once" said Alexa.

"That's the process of maturing her dear self, and if she gets through all this I'm sure she'll grow up to be a strong girl" Aditya continued.

"I was surprised to hear his heart. I thought I was going to mess with Reza and Lidya" Alexa said.

"So who knows, all the secrets of God dear. This moment is not the end even the beginning of our children's long journey to reach their minds and love. They have to be strong and great kids" Aditya replied.

"Yes, let them freely decide where they go to reach the future. As long as for good we are ready to support them" continued Alexa.

"You're right, honey. Eh let's hurry down before they find out that we're peeping and hearing their secret talk. We better pretend we don't know. Let them try to solve their own problems so that they grow up" Aditya said.

Aditya gently pulled his wife's hand and led her downstairs through the stairs.
