The car continued to drive without a hitch, the new toll road was still so smooth that there was no defect in the slightest. The construction still continued, they had to go out of the toll long before entering Ujung Kulon.
"Because I don't feel like passing here with Mamah Papah," said Nola when she realized the road she went through was different from the previous road.
"Maybe yesterday Adek passed Serang not Rangkasbitung. Another path, but the direction of the destination remains the same," said the driver when he heard Nola's murmur that was soft almost like a whisper.
"Oh, I don't know, anyway. Not long, sir?" nola asked as soon as she saw the toll exit.
"It's still pretty good from here, but the streets are not jammed kayaking in the city when you come here" he replied.
The car they were riding in began to enter the village area, crossing the bridge, continuing to the smaller streets. On the right and left of the community plantation, rarely are people's houses seen.
"Here is still a rarity home, yes." Al muttered while staring at the right and left of the road.
The waves caught their sense of hearing, suddenly both of them gawking at one of the car windows. Yesterday Nola found no sea.
"There's a sea around here, sir?" tanyanya.
"There, Deck. Klo this way we are passing by the seafront. In fact, the dormitory is also deket to the sea, you know," said the driver remained with his friendly tone.
"Eh? Really, Sir? Why, I don't hear the sound of the waves when I get there?" Nola frowned unsure.
"Emang is a bit far away, so it's not heard. We'll be ready soon." The driver turned to a smaller road.
"What do you want to do there? Want to go to school there too?" he continued asking a little curious because they were not accompanied by parents.
"We want to look at our brother, sir," replied Al as he glanced at Nola who was suddenly silent after hearing the driver's words.
"Oh, why not the same old man? I often bring students here when they come home. Well, if the look is usually the same old man," he told.
Al smiled stiffly, he just followed Nola's invitation to accompany her away. Not knowing at all the rules that apply in the boarding school. Silent. The driver did not ask again. Continues to go on the smooth road, but small.
Pesawahan also gardens owned by residents again welcome their arrival. The still green rice refreshes the view. Residents flock home with their farming equipment.
Before long, the echo of Adzan Dzuhur reverberated. Faintly caught their ears. The journey felt so long and heavy with all the trials they had to face.
Car pulled over not far from the gate of the dormitory, Nola was not sure her brother would accept her arrival. He sat down and did not want to move. Al who had prepared to go down, urung pulled the door handle. Look at his friend and sit back.
"Why? You don't want to come down? We have nyampe, you know," said Al while touching the girl's back.
Nola's head shook her head, there was a pain that was hitting her chest. Sebak spread, making the eyes feel hot. Nola bites the lips, holding all the turbulent flavors.
"I'm afraid Big Brother is still angry with me. I'm afraid you won't see me" she shuddered.
The driver glanced from the rearview mirror, knowing that there was a problem between the girl and someone they called Big Brother inside the dormitory. However, he remained silent, reluctant to comment. Waiting for the two to finish preparing the hearts before getting off the car.
"Son Alea is a good person, she's always been kind to you, hasn't she? I'm sure Brother Alea must have been pleased that you came to look at him. Come on, pity sir the driver wants to pull the passengers again," said Al patiently reassured Nola's heart.
The girl nodded weakly, drawing as much air as possible and releasing it slowly. They both went down, paid the fare and stood in front of the gate, under the cherry tree.
Al's skull bristled, swept it while staring around. His gaze fell on the lush cherry tree, its leaves swaying gently in the wind, but Al did not feel any wind touching the skin.
He turned away while closing his distance to Nola. I don't want to feel like linger there. The longer it stood there, the more it made its body tremble. Moreover, as he gawked inside. An old building immediately greeted his eyes.
"La, are you sure you want to go in there?" Al gulped his own saliva, imagining something that did not make his fear come back.
Nola did not reply, but walked slowly into the open gate. Perhaps because it was Sunday, the gate was deliberately opened wide. There were a lot of cars lined up in a field as soon as they went deeper.
The gazebo in front of the dormitory was filled with parents and students there. It changed Al's thinking about the creepy hostel.
"Where's Brother Alea's room?" whispered Al asked as they stood staring at a building with many doors and windows.
Nola shook her head weakly, dazed by the deep sense of regret when she remembered that time. They hurried back to go and go home without taking Alea first to her room.
"I don't know, I didn't take Brother to his room because Mamah same Papah hastily took me home," he said with a verbal vibration that could not be covered.
"Well, you guys are really outrageous, yeah. It's just wrong of Alea's sister to the point that she was thrown here," Al's circus was completely inexhaustible with their attitude towards the kind girl.
"Eh, where are these two going? Want to register?" teh Marni was polite when she saw the two just standing in front of the dormitory.
Al flinched, immediately turned his head and smiled at the middle-aged woman. While Nola, quickly turned and wiped her tears.
"Eh, sorry, Mom. We were looking for our brother's room again" Al said, taking over the talk.
Marni tea frowned, gawking behind them looking for the whereabouts of the old man.
"Where are your parents?" teh Marni asked after finding no one but the two of them.
"We're just two, Mom. I'm sorry, do you know our sister's room?" Al answered again as he was.
Nola kept silent trying to calm her heart before meeting her sister.
"You should have come with the old man. Don't be alone like this, not good. Moreover, I see you guys from far away like that" Teh Marni said without answering Al's question.
The young man glanced at Nola, there was nothing he was doing but silence with his head bowed. Looking at the two who did not reply, Teh Marni sighed.
"Well, what is your brother's name?" teh Marni asked feeling sorry for the two.
Al quickly turned his head, there was a twinkle of hope arising on his face that rippled quickly.
"Sir Alea, Mom. Our sister Alea, can't you take us to her room?" answer Al quickly.
The frown on the woman's forehead was formed a lot, not out of confusion.
"Miss Alea?"
Al and Nola both nodded, wanting to quickly meet the older brother. Hopeful rays sprung up in their pair of beads. Marni Tea again sighed, she thought no one would come to see the girl.
"I saw Neng Alea again gathering with his friends, in the hut there. Try to go there, it feels like they are still there," replied Teh Marni pointing to a row of gazebos near the school field.
"Oh, thank you, Mom. If that's what we'll excuse you first" said Al while pulling Nola's hand after Teh Marni nodded her head.
The two continued walking while watching everyone sitting in the hut. Right, in the fifth hut Alea was sitting with a group of adults as well as three teenagers her age.
Nola's eyes and nose were heating up, looking at the smiling Big Brother, but looking pitiful. No tears fell, he hurriedly wiped it. Al, silence doesn't do anything. Letting Nola overcome her own feelings.
"Is he okay?" Al muttered softly.
Nola shook her head, knowing that her sister was not doing well. He bit his lips tightly until a salty taste flowed on the surface of his tongue.
The girl with the crescent-moon eyebrow arch stepped slowly, approaching the brother who had not realized he was there.
"Sister!" call him soft and tremble.
Again the tears fell from the pelupuk quickly next to him. Alea turned his head, the smile he carved out of disgrace changed into a cloudy one that wrestled on his face.
He clenched his lips tightly, his eyes softly finding the brother standing with wet eyes. A feeling of heat spread around his face, something suddenly felt piercing heartburn. The three friends of Alea were stunned, they could already guess that the one standing there was the younger brother of that friend.
At a glance their faces were indeed similar, the frenzy of chatter stopped instantly. Everyone let the Big Brother and Sister meet, giving the two of them room to speak from heart to heart.
"Big-sister!" call Nola again this time her tears successfully fell down her cheeks.
Alea threw away the face refusing to meet the younger sister, but a small part of her heart was delighted to see the little girl. Nola squeezed the backpack strap firmly, holding a hunk in her chest as Alea threw her face away. Be ill. That's what he's feeling.
"Le!" Firda rubbed Alea's arms, giving her the strength to welcome the Little Sister.
"That's ... Your sister, right?" ask carefully.
Alea did not reply, flashed in the shadows as the old man gave her the necklace he wanted. Also Dio who came brought a bunch of flowers for her. Be ill.
"He's all the way, you know, coming here. From Jakarta, alone. Not your parents," he whispered to Alea that he should not have done that to Nola.
Hearing that, Alea slowly turned her head. His gaze met the two wet Nola beads. The little girl bit her lips that kept twitching wanted to cry.
