My Twin Brothers

My Twin Brothers
part 2


The sun starts to lean west. Breeze in the afternoon makes Viona's hijab flutter. His face was white and golden, as it was exposed to the sunlight.


He moved his feet weakly along the way. His gaze was empty, occasional tears were shed and free-falling from his net.


He had arrived in front of a house that looked very haunted. With the weeds that filled his lawn. Give the impression of an unkempt house to anyone who passes it.


Viona stared in front of the rusty gate. He rubbed it, no matter how many years after this house was abandoned by its owner.


'Sister Vina, Dad... Where are you guys? Why never come back. This house looks really creepy, brother. This house has longed for our joking laughter, ' Viona said in her heart.


She wiped away the tears on her cheeks using a hijab that had been continuously blown by the wind.


~Flashback On~


[Sister Vina, when will you play at Mom's new house? Grandma lives here too. The house that I contracted for was quite large than the house that I used to be]


Viona sends an SMS to her sister, after a few days she and Mirna live in a new contract. Several times since her divorce, Mirna has moved in. If it wasn't for his job, he probably wouldn't have stayed here. Mirna, who had no other choice, chose to take her mother to live in her current home.


[Quickly, Viona. Brother misses you guys so much. Especially you. Don't be lazy to learn, Viona. Let it be later, we can enter the same country High School. And no need to bother like this if you want to meet.]


Vina and Viona have become Junior High students, even though they are in different schools and a considerable distance away. No one knows about them having twins, because they were separated from childhood.


Someone stepped quickly towards Vina's room smiling as she read the SMS-SMS sent by her sister.


Cretaceous...


Vina's room door is open.


"Darling, did you bother me? "


"Hmm, not at all." Vina threw a smile at her father. His father approached him, hugging and gently stroking his daughter's head.


"Dad was transferred to the company, Vina. We'll stay in England."


Both Vina netra are rounded. Shocked, as if not believing the words uttered by his father just now.


"Dad's not kidding, is he? " He kept his body away from his father, asking for a reaffirmation. Wishing that what he had heard was not reality.


"Dad's not kidding, Vina. Maybe we'll go to the airport tomorrow night."


"No, Dad. Vina won't come. Vina wants to stay here. Waiting for Viona to come, then Vina will hear all her chatter. How could Vina leave him alone, Dad. Vina and Viona have to grow up together."


Rudi looked at Vina's words. He did not expect, his son who he considered as a child, turned out to be able to think that far.


Can't be lied to, actually he also missed Vina's twin brother. The little girl who at that time begged not to be separated from her brother, while tightly hugging her father's legs.. But how else, until now Mirna still finances Viona well, although not as he gave to Vina. Still, it wouldn't be easy to persuade Mirna to allow Viona to stay with her in England.


Vina was crying in front of her father. Hugged his knees tightly. I wish my father would empathize with him.


'Vina, I'm sorry. I still have to take you to live in England. And Viona, the little girl I miss so much. Forgive me for having to take your brother away. Believe me, it's only for a moment.' Inner Rudi.


Rudi left Vina still crying. Give her time to win herself.


Rudi rushed to clean up the items that were important enough for him and should not be left in this house. Even with Vina's needs, he also prepared it.


All the furniture he had sold to his office friend. That will be taken this afternoon before Rudi leaves for the airport tomorrow night.

Vina wears a thick jacket that was given as a birthday gift from her mother last year. His eyes were puffy from crying for too long. He stared softly at the picture figura that was displayed beautifully on his study table. There are photos of her, Viona and her parents who look very happy on the anniversary of her parents' wedding.


Vina walked closer towards the figura. He picked it up and put it in his backpack.


Rudi's car drove away from the luxury house. The silent atmosphere inside, Vina just stared out through the car window, reluctant to chat as usual as she was sad or disappointed.


'My darling lion. Sorry you have to go. Brother won't be long, just sebentaaar. Wait for my sister to see you, Mom and Grandma, yes. Brother can't tell you now, wait for sister, Viona'


Vina mutters.

It has been a week since Vina and Rudi left for England. The house began to get dusty, unkempt.


In a contract, a girl observes the clinging of her mother who is in her hands.


"Sister haven't sent a message, ma'am? "


"No, honey. Maybe Vina's busy. I'll let you know there is, yes"


Mirna smiled sweetly at her daughter. Although in his heart, he was equally worried about his son who had no news this week.


Time passed very quickly, two weeks Vina did not tell her mother and sister. Mirna is very worried, not even rarely he daydreams while working.


"Viona, we're going to visit sister's house later in the afternoon, huh? " There is no other way for him, at this time the news of Vina is very important.


"Come, mom. Viona is very close to Vina. " Viona was very enthusiastic with sparkling black eyes.


When the afternoon had come, they came to visit the Vina residence.


Mirna several times said hello, pushed the bell, and called Vina. Niente. Nor did he meet her in this house.


It was getting darker, and Mirna walked towards the shop. Intended to ask about Rudi and Vina who are not at home.


How surprised Mirna and Viona heard the explanation of the residents who were hanging out in the stall.


"How could they move, sir. Do you know where they moved? "


"She, anyway. Going abroad, Ma'am. England what Germany yes, I forgot Ma'am."


"All right, thank you very much sir."


~Flashback Off~

'Brother Vina, when do you come home? If you come home, I promise I will help you clean up in this now very dirty house. And I'll take Grandma once in a while to stay in sister's room. I promise, come home, brother'


Viona continued to babble in her heart.


After standing for a long time in front of the gate of the house, Viona decided to go home. Because it's getting dark, and she's afraid her grandmother will worry about coming home late.
