Special Relationship
"HEY MOM!! I'M ALREADY AT HOME, HELLOOO!"
El looked at Alvira who was now running towards her mother with enthusiasm, not forgetting her arms that were spread wide. The girl is always excited, rarely sad. But when Alvira was cranky, it was very difficult to persuade her, even El gave up when faced with his sulky sister.
Almira Tunggadewi Adalard. The figure of a very great woman, always giving the best for her two children. In fact, she never forbade El or Alvira to go out with their friends, there was no prohibition as long as it was a good thing. She would just remind them to come home not too late, and to take care of themselves as best they could, that was all. Because for her, a child also needs the freedom to adapt in a positive environment. Very understanding parents.
"Hey, the prettiest Alvira! How was school? Is it going well?" Mira said while stroking the top of her child's head, the expression of affection began to be clearly seen in her eyes.
Alvira nodded enthusiastically. "Fine, Mom. I am excellent at school, I am sure my school will run smoothly. Anyone who dares to touch me will be beaten badly by Bara." She said excitedly as she opened the pizza box Mira brought along with other delicious food, this was what she had been waiting for. She sat in the dining chair, enjoying the pizza slice in her hand.
Mira smiled sweetly with Alvira's character, her cheerfulness never faded, felt comforted and very satisfied with what her little daughter said. Then she looked at El who just stood straight without intending to greet her. Ah, this man is just that, a cold, expressionless face that seems to show her feelings.
"Bara, let's eat with your little sister first. You must be hungry, right? You definitely didn't eat the lunch that I made, right?" Mira said while approaching El. She pulled up a chair opposite Alvira and led her son to sit there.
El was silent, he sat on the dining chair.
Mira sighed softly, her son was always silent when he felt their conversation was not important. For some reason El is very different from Alvira even though they were born in the same womb. "Speak a little, Bara. Don't keep me waiting for your answer, I'm just asking, and you should answer." She said softly while grabbing El's shoulder, she caressed her lovingly.
El smiled. "Yes ma'am." he replied curtly as he took a slice of pizza that Alvira really enjoyed. Now his little sister has drifted to the cellphone screen because she is opening a social media application, which of course can be operated on flat-shaped objects that have become addicted to many people.
Mira smiled sweetly and kissed the top of El's head as a good mother. "Eat a lot, Bara, your body is no longer six pack, but you are so skinny, I want to take a shower first." She said as she left her two children.
Although Elbara's body looks thin like what Mira said, but he has always been the dream boy for the girls at school. Even so, his body is still ideal, he also looks tall and it's only natural that many girls are waiting in line to get his frozen heart covered in ice.
El still put on a flat face while nodding his head, he saw his mother's back which had drifted away. He really couldn't respond to the affection Mira gave him more than a small smile.
"Just, hey." called Alvira while looking at El curiously, she acted like she was whistling to call.
Bara turned to Alvira, then raised her eyebrows. "Hmm?" Only a small mumble came out of his mouth in response.
"Why do you only follow three friends on Instagram?" asked Alvira surprised, she was very curious about this one thing. She really didn't understand her brother's way of thinking. Even though the man has thousands of followers on Instagram, only Alvira, Mario, and Reza are followed back.
"Is that an important question or not?" El asked while drinking the soda that Mira also bought. He took a sip, then went back to eating the pizza in his hand.
Alvira looks at the photos posted by El, it turns out that she is marketing with her brother's social media accounts, there are many postings of photos with a flat face but with a lot of likes and comments. She wondered, what was so special about El's cold face?
"Bara, I want to make a snapgram on your account, may I?" Alvira asked while changing her account to El's account. With all the whims and pleas, she managed to get and hold El's Instagram account. She just wanted to know how many girls had sent her older brother flirty messages. And arbitrarily, she replied to all the messages. But El didn't care.
"Whatever."
"OK, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, I DON'T LIE."
Quickly, Alvira immediately turned the view into a camera. She pressed the button in the middle of her phone. "So today I and Bara are very cold like the south pole. Bara, say hi!" She said pointing her phone at El.
El stares blankly at the camera. "Hi." he said which only said one word, without any additional sentences.
It is certain, tomorrow this snapgram will likely become the hottest conversation at Adalard High School just because an El who says 'hi' in front of the camera, can be interpreted as being seen by his followers, who are mostly women.
Alvira chuckled then looked at the video footage she took. "Turns out I'm no less charming than Bara, I'm proud because I'm beautiful." She said as she sat back down in the chair. She pressed the button to send the video. "It's finished recording and tomorrow this video will definitely become a hit! Alvira is famous for posting statuses with Elbara who are always the target of people, wow that must be fun!" She said in a satisfied tone.
El smiled. "Oh, so you have a purpose for holding my account, so you get that kind of response?" he asked with his brows knit together perfectly.
"No, it's not like that. I mean that my followers are also equal to you, even though I'm beautiful, there must be many men who follow my account but you refuse friend requests from them on my account!"
"Yes, it's up to me."
"I love my brother, his name is Bara."
"Yes."
"Don't you love me?" Alvira asked with a sad expression on her face. She bent her smile, because El did not answer her sincere affection.
El who saw his sister's face turned gloomy, immediately devoured the rest of the pizza in his hand, drank a soda, and looked at Alvira seriously.
"I love you too, my ugly little sister."
Alvira's smile widened completely, then she got up from her seat. And hugged her tightly. "The sweetness of my brother on this one!" She said excitedly ruffling El's hair.
If anyone sees this but doesn't know their status, many people might conclude that they are a very romantic couple. But sadly they are just brother and sister. After all, Alvira is also close to a boy, she never even thought that liking her own sister was crazy. Very silly.
El smiled. "You're spoiled," he mumbled that Alvira heard.
"You're spoiled too!"
"Do you have any proof that I'm spoiled?"
"From the sky down to my heart! Because you are the coolest big brother in the world! It's like a cartoon about superheroes..."
"Lies and makes no sense."
"Oh, I never lied to you!!"
Alvira released her arms around El's body, then pinched the man's waist. "Feel it!"
"It doesn't hurt." said El in an even tone.
Alvira stuck out her tongue. She sat back in her original position. "I'd rather eat than talk to you. You're so cold, can't joke around."
El just shrugged as he tried not to care. "I'm going to my room." he said as he rose from the chair. Fixing the location of his bag, then left Alvira who looked at him with a feeling of holding back.
"YOU'RE LIKE A FRIEND THAT WAS A WALKING FRIDGE! YOU ARE EVIL EVEN I ALWAYS LIVE ALONE, WAIT FOR MY REVENGE!"
El just smiled. Even though he couldn't express anything on hia face properly, he was quite amused by Alvira's childish nature.
He opened the door that read 'never give up and try to smile', a sign that he would never go wrong to enter his destination because the room had its own characteristics.
El closed the door again and immediately threw his bag carelessly. He threw himself on the king size bed, releasing the tiredness that had hit him.
He reached into his trouser pocket, pulled out his cell phone to tell his two friends he wasn't going back there.
| message room |
Group Name : Elbara Fans!
El: Sorry, I'm going home first.
Mario : It's okay El, after all Reza and I still want to hang out, who knows we might get a match, right? @Reza
Reza : Right @Mario it's natural El, Alvira's most important daughter. If I were you, I would also choose Alvira because she is a priority.
El: You two have unclear intentions.
Reza : I will be honest, El. I'm saving for Alvira's future, I want to be serious.
Mario: Really? There is no way Reza will be serious in a relationship. Moreover, the girl is Alvira, really!
El: In your dream, Reza.
Mario : I haven't gasped yet, Reza got a red light from El, your luck is really bad, Reza.
Reza: Oh you're asking me to fight, Mario?! OK do it now!
| message room ends |
El turned off his cellphone, he didn't understand what Mario and Reza were thinking at this time. Even though the two were sitting next to each other, even in the message they had a fight.
His mind was now staring at the ceiling in his room, his gaze completely blank as if there was no purpose. Actually, what did he need in this world? Even though his life is perfect, it seems that something is missing.
El rubbed his face roughly. Then he got out of bed and immediately took off a pair of shoes with a tick logo on it that Mira bought for him two days ago. Reluctantly, he entered the bathroom hoping that after this his mind wasn't thinking too far away.
