[Mi, can you see me? It matters!] a short message I sent to Ami's number. One minute, two minutes, three minutes. I really lost patience, called right away. But not lifted. I don't know where the kid is. Back my hand nimble pressed Ami's number, calling him repeatedly until unconscious thirty missed calls.
[Why bang? Miscal to dozens so. Just chat. Again take care of this Alif.] reply Ami, a few moments later.
[No way, I want to talk directly. Important.] I said.
[What about afternoon? Mother again came out, pity Alif no one to take care.] Reply Ami again.
[Bring it up] I said again.
[Duh bang, what the hell is going on? I can't take Alif on the bike. Danger. Anyway, if Abah and my mother knew I could be scolded. Why don't you just go home, anyway? In this lonely house.]
[Orgene, Mi. We meet outside . Please]
[What the hell? It's dangerous to bring Alif. I don't know, that child of that age is active - very active.]
[Meet near the house.]
[OKAY. But Brother picked up dong. Danger when riding a motorcycle. Far too close the same.]
[Then take a taxi. The cost will be changed ]
[Okay!]
Ami and I agreed to meet at a mall not far from our house so that he would not be too troubled to take care of Alif. Don't forget I told him not to tell Abah or mom about this meeting. I was hoping to find out the answer from Ami. For six years I wasn't home, he must have known everything because he was in that house.
Ami got to first, he had ranted because he was overwhelmed to keep Alif who was fussy asking for toys even though Ami had limited money. Understandably, he is still a college boy who relies fully on mother and Abah.
To silence Ami, I gave him five hundred thousand bills. He immediately smiled widely. Really a sister of duitan eyes. Before we spoke, I didn't forget to buy Alif the toy he wanted. After getting it, just like Ami, Alif immediately shut up, busy with his toys.
"What do you want to talk about?" ami asked, enjoying the food I ordered
I looked at the three-year-old boy, the son of bang Sigit and Yohana. His facial lines are very similar to Abinya, there is no line of Yohana's face in the slightest. Seeing Alif, my smile grew, as if seeing bang Sigit when he was a child. O Allah, I miss my brother.
"Alif there is nothing similar to the uminya, yes. One hundred percent like Abinya "I said
"Ahhh who said? It even looks like her mother. Moreover, the shape of his face " said Ami, while scooping chocolate ice cream.
I looked at Alif, his face round. It is similar to the oval-faced Yohana. "Non't you, Mi. Where Alif looks like Yohana, the shape of his face is different."
"Lha, why is it also likened to Brother Yohana. Hana's sister is just her babysitter's mother, not her biological mother, it's natural not to look alike!" Ami was a bit annoyed by my words.
"Huh, uh, that's ...." Ami.
"Jawab Mi, don't shut up!"
"It's nothing, bang. Ahh, I just want to go home. I'm afraid she'll be looking for Mommy." Ami was preparing to go home, he put all his stuff scattered on the table kw in his bag.
"Mi .. You're keeping something a secret?" I'm picking up my youngest brother.
"Bang please, Ami doesn't know anything. Ami doesn't want any trouble. I know how Abah is. Already yes, if there is anything you want to know ask Abah only, do not Ami or mother. Have mercy on us, we women have too much weight." Ami says. "Why question something that's over. Now, forget what Ami said." Her request.
"Mi, please. Tell Brother what really happened. Brother really wants to know. What is Abah keeping secret?"
"What the hell is bang for? After all everything has passed, bang Sigit is also not here, as well as sister Hana. Then what else?"
"I already know some." I said, showing Abah's notebook in the bag. "This is Abah's note, it fell on the tomb. Here Abah writes about the secrets related to bang Sigit and Johana. Butwhat? Please tell me, don't play secrets anymore, don't you feel sorry for me, Mi?" I begged him.
"Why did you take? If Abah knows it's over, brother. Better get the book back to where you found it. Don't mess around, don't want to know everything. Poor brother later too." Ami Pinta.
"I won't return it before it's all clear. You know it. I don't want any more secrets! We are family after all. Is it appropriate between families to have something harbored with each other under the pretext of security."
"But this is Abah's decision, Bang. My brother wants to fight Abah. Maybe my own brother is sorry. You know what if Abah's been rampaging, scary. Better not try to find maslaha, bang!" Ami tried to remind her of the consequences. But I don't give a shit.
"It's already wet, even if it has to be open everything should be so." I said lightly.
Many things make Ami hesitant to tell the secret that he, mother and Abah keep. He was so afraid that Abah knew he was leaking that he would invite Abah's wrath later. Ami said, Abah if angry is very scary. No need to tell me, I actually know. But my curiosity is so great that I can't let it all pass even though Ami keeps avoiding that it's the past.
"Please Mi, Brother is your brother, you have the heart to let Brother be curious. Or do you want me to die curious?" I said.
"Astagfirullah bang, what the hell is it? No, don't talk carelessly. Ami has lost one brother, Ami does not want to lose Brother also "Ami almost cried. "Ami doesn't want to be Abah's only child. Lagian Abang did not know what it was like to be Ami, his years of life in fear. Not to mention the obscure secrets." He looks sad.
"Then tell me what really happened!" My love. "You don't have to worry, from now on you will protect you and your mother "
"How?"
"Abang will stay home again."
"Really, bang? Ami almost cheered. The sad ones are back again. "But Abang promised never to be angry at anyone let alone Abah. We can be the ones who are silent. Ami does not want Abah to beat mother again. We've been very tired of heart and physical bang "
"Ready. You just calm down. This secret is safe in my brother's hands." Promise to my sister.
