When Love

When Love
CHAPTER 1


The soul mate is a divine mystery that will never know when it comes.


*****


Anin is how he is usually called. The owner of the full name Anindira Maheswari is 14 years old and sits in the 8th grade of First High School in a well-known public school. This short-haired tomboy has a strange hobby, if not climb a tree and disturb his brother, yes quarrel. If someone has disturbed him or disturbed his friends, he will not hesitate to invite a fight. He did not care at all who the opponent he would face, even if it was a man who was bigger than him, he would definitely serve him.


Mrs Renita and Mrs Doni as mother and father are tired of advising her to be more polite as a woman, at least like her brother Agni. But Anin ignored the complaints of his parents. He always said that this is what he is. Efficacious words that are always powerful to face both parents.


Agni and Anin are two different poles. Agni is very feminine while Anin is very tomboyish. Agni is a hobby of cooking while Anin is just eating and disturbing her brother. This may be due to their considerable age distance of 7 years. Makes Anin feel like he is her family's priority.

Ting. Kegs...


Anin ran when the bell rang. With a quick movement Anin opened the door. A man was standing at the door of his house. He looked at the man in front of him. The man he saw for the first time. Anin did not hesitate to observe the man from top to bottom like a policeman who was observing a suspect.


" Oh who's looking?'' ask her while folding both her hands." Mother said if there are strangers you can not be carelessly given in." He remembered very well the advice of his mother who was one because he had almost experienced something unpleasant when someone visited his house. He almost invited a thief because he carelessly told him to enter without asking who the person who came was.


'' What did you say? Um?" The man protested because of a name he thought was inappropriate for him.


'' Yes, what should Anin call? Grandpa, mas or..grandpa." Anin even challenged him back as if whatever he said was nothing wrong.


'' Anin, who is Nak coming, " cried Mother from the kitchen.


'' Tuh asked Mother, Om who is this?" ask her again innocently.


" This is a plain child or something," muttered Shan.


'' Ih si Om was silent, instead" protested because he never mentioned his name.


'' Anin.." said Mother approached him in front.


'' Nih, Mother, the guest strange creature asked quietly." Anin who was already upset left Mother and the man.


'' Loh Shan, you anyway, come on in, son."


'' Yes, aunty," he said. Shan entered the house while looking around, the house he used to visit when he was a child. Not much has changed from this little house.


'' Anin is not polite with guests even spelled out strange creatures," protested Mother to him.


'' Anin knows, Bun, if Mommy knows. From that Om was asked to be quiet anyway."


'' Why is Shan called Om? call brother not om."


'' Ah Mother bothered." Anin sulks and leaves her own mother.


'' Ha, that kid. Sorry Shan Anin's behavior is still childish."


'' Yes Auntie, it's okay."


'' Where is your papa? he said he wanted to come here too, why are you the only one who came."


'' There was an aunt, I met her on the street. Then yes already, Papa asked to come down so the same way


Om. He said it's better to walk while chatting."


'' Oh that. They are so when they have met a lot of discussed."


'' Yes, aunty."


'' Ashalamaikum." The sound of someone saying hello.


'' Waalaikumsalam."


The two people who were waiting for him finally came as well.


'' Renita hasn't seen you in a long time."


'' You are too busy at. Don't want to come here again."


'' It's not like that. There's a lot to deal with, Shan's mama's gone, so it's getting busy."


'' Take care of your health, don't force yourself."


'' Calm down Don, now it's more relaxed. There's Shan."


'' But Shan is still in college, right?''


'' Yes Om, Shan is still in college while helping Papa."


'' You are indeed a filial son of Shan."


Shan just smiled hearing the praise from his om it.


'' Oh yes Anin same Agni where, Bun?''


'' Agni again in the kitchen preparing a drink yes, if Anin bothers her brother the most."


'' Agni is the biggest, right?''


'' Yes, Agni is the greatest. Still in college like Shan. The little one's name is Anin, still 8th grade Junior High."


'' Well that's them."


'' Please drink Om, Shan," said Agni put water drinks and snacks on the table.


'' Agni is already big, getting more beautiful. How was your college, son?''


'' Current om'', he said. '' It's healthy, right?''


'' Alhamdulillah be healthy."


As they chatted with each other, Anin felt annoyed at being ignored. He became resentful himself because only his brother was always talked about and considered.


He left secretly without their knowledge. Anin keeps nagging while turning on the television because it is ignored.


'' Yes Anin dicueki time, Anin is considered a subtle creature times yes, fate deh. Mending saw the cartoon," he said, taking a remote and turning on the TV.


He watched his favorite movie while laughing to the point that he didn't realize someone was standing right behind him, looking at him seriously.


'' Still watching cartoons?''


'' Why is Om here?''


'' Hey boy, I'm that old as Om."


'' What do you want to call?''


'' Call me Brother, understand!''


'' Alright, Brother. Whose name was that brother?''


'' Shan."


'' Shan....the sheep? lamb dong," he laughed.


'' Ha???'' Shan did not understand the chatter.


'' The name of the big brother, tuh, like the cartoon that Anin watched, Shan the sheep."


'' Boy, it's Shaun."


'' Just a little different in question, astonished."


Shan was at a loss for words facing Anin's miraculous demeanor. He willingly said this and that without any burden. He could not say anything more with the 14-year-old.


'' Loh Shan, are you here?'' asked Agni who was astonished to see him along with Anin who was seriously watching TV.


'' Yes, it was out of the bathroom" he replied.


'' Oh, you know Anin, right?''


'' It was Anin who opened the door."


'' Oh that's it."


'' I'm back to the front."


'' Okay," Agni smiled.


'' Brother likes it?''


'' Ha? what the hell are you talking about."


'' That smile."


'' How to continue? cry?''


'' That's not it either, brother. What are they doing to visit our house?''


'' Yes mother and father sahabatan same om Adi, it has long ago om not to go home, what's wrong here."


'' It's just that?''


'' You think what the hell Nin, wonder brother."


'' Didn't om come to want a mate in the same brother sheep?''


'' The soul mate? the sheep? who is it."


'' That's Shan, that's a sheep."


'' Anin it's Shaun."


'' Yes, let's just say the same, brother. Just let brother want to be fooled by Shan, because Anin had heard that."


'' Where did you hear from? There's-there's you, Nin."


'' Is, trust his sister."


'' Lazy to talk to you, Dek."


'' That's Agni, '" he protested.


'' Help Mommy in the kitchen yuk, just have lunch again."


'' Yes, yes." With a lazy step Anin approached her mother and sister in the kitchen.


Mommy is busy stirring the rendang that almost dries so as not to burn and occasionally see the stew next to it. While Agni is busy arranging fried chicken that has been cooked and put the pasta sauce that has been made earlier.


'' Mother, Anin help what?''


'' The plates are the same glass, son, put them on the table."


'' Oh okay Bun."


Anin took out a few dishes and placed them one-on-one on the table. Then take a glass and put exactly what he did earlier. Cuisine is finished, he put it on the table.


'' Nin, call Dad, Om same Brother Shan there."


'' Yes, yes, bun."


Anin stepped her feet towards the living room. Adi's father and om are still engrossed in their nostalgic chatter, while Shan just keeps smiling every once in a while hearing their chatter.


'' Dad, it's time to eat."


'' Oh yes, let's eat first in, Shan. Children cook especially for you."


'' So make it a hassle."


'' No bother, even happy. Come onl. Come on."


They rushed to the dining room. There Mother and Agni greeted them with a smile.


Then they eat the food that has been prepared with pleasure.


After finishing the meal, Anin and Agni collected the dirty dishes to wash. Anin who was his job washing dishes had to face the reality of the dishes and all his friends had been piled up and roared asking to be cleaned.


Anin took a long breath. He rolled up his sleeves and was ready for battle.


" Well the battle begins, get ready, plates, no mercy for you today.'
