Between Mr. Ustadz's Son Or Office Child
Chapter 4: He's Still the Same

People say, being an adult is like winking and everything instantly turns one hundred and eighty degrees. Just two weeks after her seventeenth birthday, Kenan's life destiny changed. Kenan lost Mama and Papa, lost the girl who became the encouragement of his life, now he began to understand if becoming an adult is really difficult, really difficult, if only Kenan wanted to be a forever child who lived as if without much burden and thought.

"Eh, Ken, what's the matter here?"

Ara was a little surprised, finding Kenan already standing in front of the gate of his house, yes Kenan deliberately came to Ara's house after coming home from Eating his parents.

"Gue wants to play, silahturahmi that, time can not," as sad as any life Kenan will still try to look okay.

"Well, yeah, let's go in!"

Doubtful Ara let Kenan into the house, not afraid in angry Mama and Papa, Ara actually felt awkward because Kenan visited her house very suddenly.

"It seems, your parents are getting richer, yes, the proof is that the house is bigger than your previous house" said the stale Kenan.

"The great house, many possessions, does not guarantee happiness,"

"Heeh, what kind of lecture?"

Ara was suddenly upset, she put her face after that sitting on the body on the sofa. Without Kenan's permission to do the same, the guy sits right next to Ara.

"Warin drink, dong, I'm thirsty," Kenan still behaves in such a joke.

"Wait a minute, I'll take it."

"OKAY. But, don't poison ya, I'm not ready to die,"

Two years apart, even Ara did not see a change from Kenan's attitude, the guy was still the same as before, humorous and very easy to melt the atmosphere. But who would have thought, behind his funny attitude, Kenan is the person who is most good at hiding sadness.

"Parents, where, Ra?"

"Disease, there is no day without busyness." answered Ara casually.

"But lo cool, Ra, can be strong amid the very real difference between nyokap and bokap lo."

"Gue's just pretending to be cool, you know. Actually it's still the same, even to this day I'm still confused, Ken." Ara bowed down, she was unable to continue her words.

"Why jungles? Although maybe you don't consider me a lo guy anymore, at least you can still confide in me huh,"

Ara nodded quickly, Kenan was still the same, unchanged, he could always make Ara comfortable whenever he needed a backrest. "Gue hasn't determined which religion Mama or Papa should follow, Ken. I'm afraid if I choose one, there will be sad and disappointed, I don't want Mama Papa disappointed,"

"But, Ra, religion is a must, you must immediately determine, I'm sure nyokap bokap lo, will not be sad if later you follow the religion of one of them."

"Ihhhh, you know what you are, Ken."

"Yes dong, I know it all,"

Compared to Chio, Ara is more open to Kenan, because according to him, Kenan is more comfortable to just exchange feelings and thoughts, while with Chio, Ara must be as formal as possible, he said, both in terms of attitude and manner of speaking. Perhaps because of the age difference Chio and Kenan are quite far apart, requiring Ara, to be able to get ahead.

"Tonight, I'm staying at your house, yeah!" pinta Kenan with a hopeful face.

"Somewhat can you do, you know, I'm as smart as I am,"

"Any night, Ra, I'm so upset, I know,"

"Oh, apparently you can be upset too yes,"

Ara just constantly answered Kenan's expectations with jokes. To be honest at this time, Kenan was sad, many things filled his mind and mind, but Ara acted as if she did not care.

"Well, I'm going home, man,"

Kenan's face that was moody, suddenly turned red, did not think he would have Ara time, without having to force, he did not think, the most pleasant thing was to be next to this girl he still loved so much, despite having been separated for two years.

"Where else?"

"Udah, come along,"

Ara reached Kenan's hand and took this guy to go somewhere, and there the two chose to be both silent, the atmosphere suddenly silent, Kenan and Ara confused about what to talk about.

"Hem, Ken," in the end, it was Ara who spoke first.

"Yes" he answered briefly.

*Lo, how are you? I'm serious about it and I don't like it when you answer with a joke."

"Hehe," Kenan's laughter was clearly made up.

"Kok, even laughing?"

The man took a deep breath before finally telling if he had ever been at the most devastated point in life, even one day Kenan once scratched his own pulse so that he had to be treated in the hospital for days.

"But now, I'm better off even if I get to go to college and occasionally check the company, Papah,"

"Thank God," but Ara could still see the look of destruction from Kenan's eyes. "Now, who takes care of Bokap lo company, who?"

"His sister Papah, I am grateful, have an understanding om and can walk Papah's trust as best as possible."

Ara nodded her head in understanding, she was quite relieved to hear Kenan's words.

"I should have, there's my son who takes care of the company, but unfortunately he doesn't want to be more precisely do not care at all."

"You mean," Ara really didn't understand. "Don't tell me, bokap lo, have another child," Ara raised an eyebrow next door, she was really curious.

"Yes, bokap I have another child which means I have a brother aka Abang Kandung."

"Wow," of course Ara was surprised, because all this time he knew, Kenan was an only child.

"But that's it, I've tried to take heart Brother, but free no results at all. I'm wrong, because I understand the pain that he feels, because in the past, when he was a child, Papah preferred to hand over my brother in care by others, because in the past, Papah was more willing to take care of my brother, for the reason that he wants to marry me again just like me."

"That's so good, bokap lo,"

"Yes, because of that my brother was very hurt, even until my Bokap died he had never been to the Tomb at all."

"It's not a process, Ken, because being dumped by the person who should be protecting the most is the sickest thing, parents should be home to go home, but you'll throw him out."

"Yes." Yeah."

Kenan bowed deeply, there was a burning pain in his chest, he always hoped that his brother could forgive his dead Papa.

"Here!" Ara asked Kenan to rest his head on her shoulder. "Thank you Ken, you still want to confide in and tell me all the problems you face, I hope someday, you and your brother can be together, you will live like brothers who should."

"Aamin."

This girl was still the same, always able to make Kenan feel safe and comfortable. At least after telling all the problems to Ara, Kenan felt more relieved.
