The Dilemma of One Night Love
Chapter 16

The arrival of his older brother made Airin shocked to the point of being speechless. Airin with her wet, teary eyes approached slowly towards her Brother.

"Bang, forgive Airin," the first sentence Airin was able to say, when kissing his brother's hand. The atmosphere of the haru made other boarding children come down from the stairs.

Ikmal, rubbed Airin's head gently and sat in front of Airin's room terrace. Airin knocks on the room, so that Milea opens the door because she wants to make her sister drink. Milea was surprised to see the handsome man smiling at her as he opened the door was her older sister Airin who Airin never once told her about. Airin came in and a while later came out with a glass of ice water.

"Sorry, this is all that Airin can give to brother," said Airin lirih. Her brother just kept quiet and looked for the whereabouts of the baby in the room. Milea who was still standing at the door seemed to know what her brother Airin wanted to see. Milea went in and out with the ringga. Milea put Ringga into the lap of her brother Airin.

Her brother Airin took a deep breath, then pitted baby Airin. To make Airin smile bloomed happy.

"Mom can't come, I'm sick" said Kak Ikmal, citing Airin's mother's absence. Airin was shocked and her tears slowly came down again.

"Every day I'm worried about thinking about you until you get sick, you shouldn't be that happy with Mom and our Dad" Kak Ikmal said, then turned to look at Airin with a still upset look.

Airin could only bow down and shut up, then take the Ringga in his brother's lap.

"I'm sorry, adek is also confused, adek just does not want to hurt anyone actually, because it's adek away from home," explained Airin.

"You should tell Mom and Dad that if the man doesn't want to take responsibility, let the brother take the man in front of you" she said.

"No way, Airin can't do that. Because in this position Airin is wrong, let Airin bear it yourself. Airin will fix himself here, tell me not to worry, Airin is fine" said Airin.

"Sister can't say anything more, you're old enough to understand what's good and bad, this is money from Mom for you to buy your needs," said Kak Ikmal, then take the envelope out of the pants pocket and give it to Airin. Airin accepted it even though it felt heavy, but in reality he also needed it for now.

Ikmal got up from his seat and prepared to leave. Airin asks Milea to hold her baby so that Airin can hug her brother who may take some time to see each other again.

"Take care of yourself, come home after the atmosphere improves, later also Dad will melt down with time, at least marry a good man who will not waste your life and your child" said Kak Ikmal, said, giving a message to Airin.

Airin nodded and let go of her embrace. Ikmal slowly went down the stairs and left. Airin did not stop crying when he entered the room.

"Your brother is very handsome" said Milea, Airin turned and smiled faintly in his tears.

"Have not cried, at least you are relieved to know the news of your mother," added Milea.

Airin took her son from Milea's sling and kissed her son's cheek gently. Airin looked into the round and small eyes of her son, while the sadness was gone when she realized that there was a new spirit that Airin had to live out the next day.

Almost 2 months of silence in the room, the money also thinned. Airin began to worry about what to do, in order to make money and keep the baby. Not bad either, almost 4 months, Milea who always pay for boarding rooms, even though if one room is occupied by two people the price also rose from 900 thousand to 1.5 million.

"Mil, if I ask you to take care of my son for a while from 4am to 7am, would you like to?" ask Airin.

Milea who was still lying in bed did not reply. Airin then shook Milea's body to wake up. And finally Milea slowly came to her senses and rubbed her eyes.

"What's wrong?" asked Milea with my eyes.

"I want to sell in the market, if you can keep the Ringga from 4 am to 7 am. Just 3 hours" replied Airin.

"Huh, sales. What sale?" milea asked, turning back and yawning.

"I want to sell vegetables" replied Airin, then hit Milea's ass to wake up and listen to her words.

"Yes whatever, usually I also take care of Ringga and wake up in the middle of the night to hold him while crying. Why ask again?" sahut Milea's. Airin smiled in relief, then hit Milea's hand slowly as a joke.

Airin sat down on the sofa and picked up the paper and also the ballpoint pen. Airin began to detail the capital and materials that must be issued and purchased to sell vegetables.

Tonight all those intentions began to be realized. Airin shopped some eggs and seasonings to make vegetables

For his own barrel, Airin will buy early in the morning at the Kosambi market. Airin only need to prepare styrofoam for the pieces of lontong and later the vegetables will be wrapped separately. At least if it doesn't run out, it can be for breakfast for him and Milea, so it could be all of you.

In the morning at half-time 3, Airin tiptoed out of the room and down the stairs. Airin walked to the market to buy some groceries. The market is not too crowded, but there are some people who already sell. Usually it will be crowded at 5 am until 6 am. Because if it is 7 am the traders on the outskirts must be ready to go, because it is strictly forbidden to sell. The place in the morning is held by small merchants to sell, if it is 7 o'clock it will be used as a parking lot for buyers who shop at the Kosambi market in.

After traveling around finally Airin found a lontong seller, after paying the currency Airin also went around where later the place for him to sell.

"If you want to trade tea, the permission is the same as the officer, tuh who wears yellow clothes neng," said one seller, when asked Airin about a place that can sell new people.

Airin approached the middle-aged man who was standing near the post and blew the whistle repeatedly. There was a sense of nervousness, for the first time Airin had to fight earnestly for a living.

After some chats with the market clerk, Airin had to pay some money for security. Airin also took it.

"There are empty ones, usually many passing by, but if the sale is good to go around it just do not need to use the place so quickly sold," said Mr. Supri, a market guard who gave directions.

"Eneng if you are ashamed of selling, just marry your brother," added Mr. Supri with a laugh. Airin just smiled and said goodbye.

Airin returned to the boarding house, but when his steps would reach the room Airin was surprised by the screams of Milea from inside the room.
