Rain Bias: The Memory of You
Varsha

I received some totebags containing piles of papers. At a glance, I can see the proposal written on the front paper. "Tumben on paper, brother? Usually through the website, yes." I looked around and put it on the floor near the door.

How do I know you always use the website to sign files? Of course because I often rioted in my brother's office which was in the middle between my room and my brother's room.

On the other hand, I saw Brother Varsha. It was Saturday, but she had come to her boss's apartment to deliver work. Early again. It is also difficult to be a secretary.

Then, how troublesome is Sister Varsha if you have to go back and forth to take care of this file. In total there are 5 totebags whose weight is enough to make my palms redden.

Ah, thinking that I got an idea.

"Yes, the website for the signature is being fixed. Please, make sure Mr. Arief has signed it before I return around 8 p.m."

"okay, Sis. Pantesan sister from earlier malem nagging-nggael clearly. The website is down, it turns out," I said while nodding in understanding.

I still remember watching anime in my room, a swearing sound was heard many times coming from my sister's study. I told you my sister's office was close to mine, plus our room wasn't soundproofed at all.

You could say, last night I was like going to a zoo with a diversity of animals. The tour stopped when I came to my sister's study and went on a rampage there. It feels like my head will be filled with zoos for the next few days.

I looked up again at Brother Varsha. The jet-black-haired woman lowered her head to say goodbye, "Because my business is done.I say goodbye first."

"Be-busty brother!" I hurried to block the path of Sister Varsha by stretching out my hands before her. Sister Varsha's face remained flat yet I knew she was wondering why I stopped her.

"Why did you come in first? Instead of going back and forth right, mending waiting in the dalem." I smiled brightly. "My brother again makes spicy dishes, brother. It's a pity that Varsha has not tried."

I tried to hold her hand and bring her in. But gently Brother Varsha let go of my hand as she shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but I still have business. Thanks for the offer, Naura. Enjoy the food."

I froze as Brother Varsha walked past me. Turning around to see his departure, I felt sad for my brother. The further away his back is from my sight the further I hope to make Kak Varsha a sister-in-law.

For today, I've fought just to get here, brother. I clenched my hand and put it on my chest, "At least I've fought for big brother, so the rest of the big brother should continue."

"Continue what?"

That familiar voice was clearly heard right next to my ear. I jumped in shock away from the source of the sound. "Sister, surprise!"

Ignoring my surprised reaction, big brother stared at where I was looking at Brother Varsha before. Now there is only an empty apartment hall without the presence of the back, "Do you see what until you realize big brother dateng?"

I took a deep breath to calm my heartbeat. "Don't you know, how can anything at all a hen diem so keep making me sprain?!" I said with one breath. I've been a rapper for a long time if you keep this up.

"Don't yell outside, ntar neighbors at the protests."

Who am I shouting for?! I shouted inwardly withstanding the frustration.

The man turned his head to the right and left looking around in wonder. "Where's the guest? Why is there no one?" said Brother Arief astonished to ignore my screams earlier.

Maybe he came to check because there was no sign of me coming back in or bringing guests inside. Judging from his hand carrying the screwdriver, it seemed like big brother had not finished fixing the blender.

I took a long breath. Looks like I will wait for the food made by my sister for longer, the blender to smooth the season just can't be used.

"So Kak Varsha came with the big brother," I pointed to some totebag that leaned on the door, "he said later at 8 o'clock Kak Varsha came again to take a paper that had been signed."

Still upset I immediately went into the apartment. "I want to cook noodles ah, brother. I'm laper again," I said to return the frustration.

The brother who followed me while taking a totebag and closing the door replied calmly, "Oh yes, yes, you will make it. Brother is also laper," he said as he passed me and immediately headed for the kitchen.

He put the totebag on the TV room couch and then went to the kitchen to cook noodles.

I took a deep breath looking at him helplessly. Then my anger goes away. Seeing her start preparing food ingredients, I miss my mother.

How to open noodles, how to cook noodles, how to cut raw eggs, even how to cut vegetables are really similar. His name is also his son. I learned to cook from my mom.

Anyway, I know big brother's trying to fill mom's void at home. No matter how busy you are at the office, you will make time for me every day. I am so grateful to have my sister by my side.

Brother stopped moving his hand to cut the vegetables when he saw me still standing motionless. "Ngapain stood on that cake? Sit down there first. Watch anime cake what cake, basic mannequin."

Oh, sorry. I'm not getting emotional.

"Yes yes," snorted annoyedly, I still obeyed my brother's words.

...****************...

This morning breakfast went as usual, I ate fried rice with a beef-eye egg on top as well as a glass of milk left in half. While the sister drank coffee with toast that was almost charred coated with chocolate jam.

But somehow I saw a dark atmosphere around my sister.

Our breakfast was always quiet like this. Maybe because I was always sleepy in the morning and not yet fully conscious. Or because my brother is focused on reading the news on his tablet. Usually this calm.

Merely, this sleepy me stared at the unusual appearance of big brother.

The man who had been neat before even waking me up looked moody. I looked at him while thinking about what might make big brother so moody.

"Why are you thinking about that rich brother?" asked Brother Arief when I found myself looking at him seriously. He checked his face even checking his face on the tablet screen. "Is there something strange about my sister?"

I nodded while narrowing my eyes, "Kanya brother is fine aja semalem pas kak Varsha dateng make take totebag. But how is it now that big brother even looks gloomy gini?"

"Eh? Is that brother looking like that? This is neat too. It's handsome, it's fragrant" said the older brother, raising his hand to make me smell his armpits. I immediately clapped his shoulder and kept my chair away from big brother.

"It's so cute?"

"What's? Let you know it's a fragrant sister," said Arief defended himself, "indeed you, haven't had a bath already had breakfast."

"Oh, let's brush his teeth while taking a shower."

We finally had an argument. I forgot the reason I started the conversation and my brother's feelings look better than before.
