Ghita walked slowly following Dimas who walked first with his luggage. After the incident of a strange driver who helped him, arrived – hugged him, Dimas was still silent asking nothing and just took him somewhere.
Although they have not met since 5 years ago, but Ghita felt there was something wrong with the – men. Dimas who used to know someone who was cheerful and a little chatty like his older brother, now became quiet.
“Kak Dimas, How are you?”
Ghita opened the conversation first because he did not like the situation as it is. Mutual silence in the minds of each – each, whereas usually they tell a lot of things.
Dimas who is the same age as Gilang, his –-footed brother, made Ghita think of him as his own brother, even though Ghita knew that Dimas did not agree.
Ghita came to know Dimas 10 years ago when he moved into a rented house with his nanny's aunt after escaping from home. Dimas's family, a neighbor of his aunt, was close enough to his nanny's aunt.
Dimas also has a younger sister who is the same age as him, Wulan his name. Every day they go to school together and play together.
As time went on, the feeling grew in Dimas' heart, but Ghita, who had considered him a replacement for Gilang, did not respond to the feeling. Until 5 years ago, when Dimas's parents died, arrived – arrived they were kicked out of the house on the grounds that his parents had a lot of debt.
But Ghita knew it was his father's actions that he did not want Ghita approached by people from the lower classes.
Ghita never saw Dimas and Wulan again. Even at his aunt's funeral it was dimas and wulan did not come.
But, this morning when Ghita came out of the strange driver's house, Ghita accidentally met him. Their first meeting did not give a good impression considering the incident this morning that made Dimas quiet as he is now.
“I'm good.” Dimas replied briefly and still did not want to see Ghita walking behind him.
“I'm sorry.”
“For what to apologize? Did you make a mistake?”
Dimas stops his steps and turns to look at Ghita. While Ghita actually played his feet kicking the wind, a habit he always did if he was confused and looking for an excuse.
“I don't know if I made a mistake or not. But, it seems like I should apologize to you. Especially because of the incident.”
“You've changed a lot Ghita.”
A smile that showed a pair of dimples engraved on the handsome face of Dimas, although Dimas' eyes almost closed, but still did not reduce his good looks.
“Change how kak?”
“I know the Ghita I know won't apologize if he doesn't know his fault. Even if he did make a mistake, he would not apologize but would correct his mistake. But now, you're just apologizing for what you don't know?”
Clearly Dimas who was seen the look in the eyes missed this girl standing in front of him.
“Really? I think it's the same. I'm still the old Ghita.”
“True, our Ghita has changed now.”
A girl arriving – suddenly appeared and walked towards Ghita and Dimas was, she was Wulansari, the younger sister of Dimas who was a few months older than Ghita.
“You look prettier and more cheerful on appeal when we first met, right so brother?” Wulan nudged her brother's arm and looked a tinge of red on Dimas' face.
“True. Our ghita has grown into a cheerful mature girl.”
“And Kaka loves him more?”
“Ben...Yes! Can you usually set up your own brother, huh?”
Dimas's face grew red when he regained consciousness when Wulan trapped him to repeat what he said. Dimas tried to chase after Wulam who arrived to escape first after saying this. He even hid behind Ghita's back.
“I'm just kidding. You know Wulan likes that since she was a kid. And he hasn't changed.”
“So does Dimas' feeling for you Ghita, Dimas's brother still likes you like 5 years ago and never changed even though many beautiful women approached him.”
Wulan stuck out her tongue and went back to chasing Dimas like a child. Ghita felt like de javu as Dimas and Wulan ran around him. A smile was engraved on her face remembering that she was not alone after her nanny's aunt died.
“Ghita Mahardika, why don't you accept my sister's love. Don't you know he likes you sincerely. Now, after she becomes a cop, do you still not accept her love?”
“Wulan, didn't I tell you not to interfere with sister's business?”
Dimas continued to spell Wulan who still revolved around Ghita because he did not want his sister to tell Ghita more.
“I don't want you to get hurt again.”
Ghita who was envious of the closeness of these two brothers finally opened his mouth. Suddenly they both stopped chasing after hearing Ghita's words just now and saw Ghita with a questioning look.
“If you..”.
“Already, we'd better show him a new home soon. Ghita we need rest because he's still sick now.”
Dimas segerang cut the words of Wulan who wanted to say the matter of their expulsion first. He even gave Ghita a backpack so that Wulan would have trouble and forget what he said earlier.
“Kak, why did you give this bag to me.”
“Be quiet and bring that bag in. Come on Ghita, I'm sure you'll love your new home.”
Dimas soon pulls Wulan to follow him and Ghita, who seems to know that Dimas is hiding something, tries not to discuss it further and follows the brothers.
-o080o-
“Don't think about what Wulan said, she's just kidding because it's been a long time since I haven't seen you.”
Dimas told him before he left Ghita's new house.After Wulan left first when he felt his older brother did not want to hear his opinion about Dimas' relationship with Ghita, Dimas helped clean up some things at Ghita's new house.
“I know he's not kidding. Brother Dimas knows, not if my brother is the same age as my brother. Therefore ...”
“I know.” Cut Dimas fast
Dimas who already knew, the reason Ghita refused him tried to comfort Ghita so as not to feel guilty with him. Dimas prefers to harbor his feelings rather than having to see Ghita always stay away from him.
“I'm sure your sister wouldn't like it if her sister was dating someone her age. If we're dating, I'm sure your brother will come from heaven to hit me.”
Ghita told everyone that her family had died in an accident and that she was taken care of by her aunt. Therefore, Dimas did not know if Ghita's brother was actually alive.
“Alright, I'll go first. I'll be here often on weekends.”
“Alright, thank you for finding me a new home. I promise I'll reimburse the rent.”
“Tno need to hesitate. Ah, I'm sorry for not being able to come to your aunt's funeral back then.”
“Ehm. Then rest, no need to take me.”
"Silver Dimas." Call Ghita before Dimas gets out of the small rented house. "Thank you for finding a new home for me. I'll reimburse the rent when I get a paycheck later." he continued.
"No need to be confused. Let's just say it's a welcome gift from dariiki and wulan because we finally met."
"But how do you know if I didn't live in my house?"
"Other times. Next time I'll tell you. I have to go first" Dimas said shortly after his phone rang and left. It seems like there's urgent business."
Ghita sees Dimas' departure with guilt. Even when the door was closed and Dimas had disappeared, Ghita was still staring at the door until he finally decided to rest because he felt a little dizzy.
The sound of knocking on the door woke him up, which turned out to be the night. Apparently, Ghita had been asleep for a long time, even though he intended to sleep for a while to recover his energy. Ghita lazily walked towards the door that had previously been barking at the light, because it was getting too dark.
“Kakak??”
A –-man man wearing a hat and all-black clothes went straight in when Ghita opened the door. While Ghita just exhaled annoyed and closed the door again after seeing the situation outside that no one saw the man – man entered.
-o080o-
Gilang inspects Ghita's new home after he enters, even before Ghita tells him to enter. As for Ghita, he just sat on the floor watching his older brother who surrounded his small new home without commenting.
Ghita tries to guess how her brother found himself even after he moved out of the old house. Moreover, not usually his brother visited him in the afternoon because Ghita always ordered to meet at night so that no one would know.
“Alright, that's enough. Let's go.”
Gilang put his hat back on and the mask went towards the exit. Ghita was still quietly sitting on the floor letting her brother go. Seeing Ghita not budging from his place, Gilang again closed the door and turned to look at Ghita.
“Why are you quiet? Let's go.”
“Why should I go. This is my home.”
“Your house? Boy – that guy gave this little warehouse and you call home? Are you stupid?”
“No. This is indeed my home because I inhabit it from now on.”
“Ica, settle this dispute. It's been 10 years. Even the nanny's aunt is dead and there's no one to look after you anymore. So let's go home.”
“Don't I tell you this is my home. So I'm not going home anywhere. Sis Gilang alone who went home brother.”
Ghita spoke out loud. Ghita is stubborn and that trait he got from his father. Therefore, nothing can deter the little Ghita who wanted to leave the house 10 years ago.
“Kak, what I said 10 years ago when I left that hell. I've said it clearly, I'm not part of your family and you don't have to care about me no matter what. After all, you guys have been doing well not all this time. But why the end of this final – you guys actually look annoying by meddling in my business.”
“Ikut meddle in your business you said. Ica, you're our family, you're my sister and you still have a father. It's appropriate that I help you when you're in trouble.”
“It's enough for Gilang to visit me every weekend. So, don't go any further than that.”
“I used to do it because there was a babysitter Aunt who took care of you so I could feel calm even if I only visited you once a week. But now you live alone. So you have to interfere in your affairs because I'm your big brother.”
“Do not make our relationship an excuse.”
“Then you thought there was another more appropriate reason besides the blood relation we have, huh?”
Gilang felt tired of facing his stubborn sister, just as hard as his father. He even sat down at the door to see Ghita who was not flinching from his place and there was no doubt in his eyes when he said these words.
“Mommy must be sad and blame me for not being able to take care of you. I must also be disappointed to see your stubborn attitude. You know for yourself that Mom died not because of Dad, but.”.
“STOP SAYING THAT! I don't want to remember.”
10 Years ago there was a crisis at the Golden Group. Mr. Prabu, as the president of the company did not want the growth of his – children disrupted due to the crisis. He and his wife decided to take them to another city on vacation. While his wife is looking after their son's – children, Pak Prabu resolves the crisis himself.
But one night on a rainy day the tragedy happened. Their mother fell from the stairs due to asthma that she suffered since childhood arrived – arrived relapsing. There was no medicine and no one.
Gilang, then 14, ran in the rain in search of people who could help them. The 7-year-old Ghita accompanied her mother and tried to call her father to come home and take their mother to the hospital.
But, how many times Ghita called, the call was never connected. Even if connected, his father's secretary who raised him and said that his father was busy and could not be disturbed. Many times – times Ghita called the answer it remained the same until finally their mother died in Ghita's lap.
Little Ghita, who knew her mother was dead, looked at her mother, who was lying stiff in bed with a blank look. Even when his father came, he did not allow his father to touch his mother. And that's when the hate came out. Ghita considers that it was his father's indifference that made his mother die.
“Good. If you don't want to go home, move to Paradise High School. At least Big Brother will..”
“ Never will be. Didn't I tell you I don't want to deal with everything related to the Golden Group. And now Brother asked me to go to school there?”
“The school is outside the power of Golden Group. You know for yourself that school's the mother who made it for us without Father's interference. So, the school is not related to the company.”
“But still, the school was run by that company.”
“And next, you will manage it.”
“What? What does Kak Gilang mean?”
Ghita seemed confused by the explanation of the brother just now. It seems like the older brother had to go to an ENT doctor because he hadn't heard what Ghita had to say. If Ghita doesn't want to deal with the Golden Group.
Moreover, how could Ghita manage the school if he had already cut ties with his family. Doesn't that mean he should go back to the Golden Group. And moreover, Ghita is still a minor, there is no way he manages something a school even though he still has to study.
“You will know when the time comes. What's clear is that you want to go to school there at least to ease your burden so you don't keep worrying. After all, the school was much closer to ‘yourhouse’ which is now not.”
Gilang put emphasis on the word your house which indicates he finally succumbed to Ghita's stubborn attitude that will not be able to be changed and let him stay here.
“But still it..”.
“Sunday.” Cut Gilang when Ghita will reject it and move out of place.
“Sunday? You mean Brother Gilang?”
“I gave you a week until I got home from a business trip. When I get back, I hope you can give me the answer you want.”
“Kak Gilang will not get the answer you want.”
“Get yourself good – good. Brother will bring by – by for you when back.”
Gilang went out and ignored Ghita's words because he believed that if he remained there, he would continue to be involved in disputes with Ghita because of their differences of opinion. Gilang knew that because he was on the side of his father, a side that Ghita hated.
But at least, Ghita still wanted to see him during the war between Ghita and their father already made Bagas feel close to him. He could not imagine if his sister would also be hostile to him like he was hostile to his father, surely his life would be boring because it was always surrounded by files of –files that make his head dizzy.
