COLORLESS LOVE
Anara is an orphan girl. Her father and mother died when Anara was 9 years old. Meanwhile, his twin brothers Afdhal Alif Fikrie and Akhtar Alfi Faizal are only 3 years old. At that time, Anara's parents would go to the market to sell. Anara's father is a chicken seller in the market, while Anara's mother is a vegetable trader. As usual, Anara's father and mother left the house early in the morning. They went around 2 am to get fresh vegetables from the wholesaler. And broiler chickens directly from breeders. That night it rained lightly, soaking the earth, causing the road to be slippery and Anara's father's eyesight to blur. Anara's father lost his balance, which caused the motorbike he was riding with his wife to roll over. Instantly, the motorbike hit the large truck in front of it, which caused Anara's father and mother to fall and get under the truck that was passing by. The bodies of Anara's father and mother were run over by a truck, so that their lives could no longer be saved and they died at the scene. Anara and her two younger twins Alif and Alfi are now orphans and live with their grandmother who loves them very much. Living in a shack house with her grandmother and her twin siblings does not make Anara feel humiliated and inferior. Anara grows into a beautiful girl who is smart, independent, smart, and also strong. In order to support her three grandchildren, Grandma Azizah sells yellow rice and various kinds of cheap fried foods in front of her house. Anara, who doesn't want to burden Grandma Azizah, sometimes helps Grandma Azizah by selling wet cakes that she makes herself. The knowledge that Anara got from her mother during her lifetime was really useful for her. Anara is good at making various cakes and various kinds of home cooking. Usually Anara will sell her cakes at school, offering them to her friends and teachers. After returning home from school, Anara returned with her wares to go around the village. After it's finished, then Anara will come home with the money from her merchandise.
Chapter 37
Seeing Neo sinking further, Anara panicked. There was no other choice but for Anara to slowly go down into the swimming pool. Although scared and unable to swim, Anara tries to save Neo who is drowning.
"Help…!" Anara shouted trying to find help when she was already in the swimming pool.
Atha, who knew that Neo was drowning, immediately came not to help, but to see the silliness of Neo, his brother, who deliberately tricked Anara by pretending to be drowning.
"Haish, you bastard! It was so much fun working on Anara to that extent! If Anara reaches, what's the matter?" Atha said in his heart.
"Atha! Don't just stare! Let's help brother, he's drowning." Anara said panicked.
"I have a bad cold, Anara! If I help brother, I can make it worse. So what if I pass out in the swimming pool? It's already there, you're the one who's going down to help, brother!" Atha gently pushed Anara's body.
"But I can't swim, Atha!" Anara refused.
"You don't need to be able to swim to help brother now, Anara! There's no time left! All you have to do is get into the swimming pool, then you walk closer to Brother. After that, pull Abang's body to the side, let me be here to help you lift Brother's body. Hurry up!" Atha ordered.
Without thinking anymore, Anara, obeyed Atha's words to immediately help Neo. Without Anara knowing, Neo smiled with a smirk on his face. While Atha only put on a sour face seeing his brother's ignorant behavior.
"Brother, hold on! I will help brother." Anara hugged Neo tightly and took him to the edge of the swimming pool, where Atha was ready to help lift Neo's body.
He mischievously, Neo just laughed inside. Meanwhile, Anara was very panicked at this time, because Neo had not yet opened his eyes even though he had reached the top.
"What should we do?" asked Anara innocently.
"Not us! But you, Anara! Try pressing his chest so that Brother Neo will spit out the water that has entered his mouth, if successful, Brother Neo will soon wake up." Atha said holding back laughter, he knew what was in Neo's brother's mind right now.
Anara immediately did what Atha suggested, Anara repeatedly pressed Neo's chest so he could spit out the water that had entered his mouth. However, Neo has not yet realized and that makes Anara even more panicked.
"Atha! How about this? Why haven't you realized yet?" Anara's eyes glistened.
"Wait! I'll take my cellphone first, let's see on the internet for tutorials to help drowning people." Atha said deliberately diverting Anara's attention so she wouldn't be suspicious of Neo's ignorant idea.
While Atha went into the house to bring her cell phone, Anara kept pressing Neo's chest many times until Neo was amused by his deceiving Anara.
"Brother…! Brother, wake up! Brother, you can't die yet! I don't want to lose, Brother! I'm sorry, Brother! I really love you too, brother! But... I don't want my brother and family to be ashamed of my status, so I just pretend I hate my brother. Even though I really love you, brother. Brother, wake up!" Anara's eyes were sparkling.
Actually, Neo also feels sorry for Anara because he has made fun of her, but Neo still wants to prove Anara's love for him. So, Neo chose to remain silent before Atha came and showed him the tutorial on his cell phone.
"Anara, look at this! There is still one more way to help Brother Neo, if this method doesn't work, it means we have to take Brother Neo to the hospital because Brother Neo's condition must be very serious." Ridiculously, Atha also cheated on Anara.
"Do I have to do this?" asked Anara with a pale face.
"Of course! If I do it how is it possible! I have a bad cold, those with Brother Neo can catch it too." Atha said with an excuse that made Neo happy and held back his giggles.
"But..." Anara said doubtfully.
"Well, if you don't want it's fine. Let's just take Brother Neo to the hospital, even though it might be too late and Brother Neo's life could be…" Atha's words were stopped because Anara held him back.
"Let me do it!" Anara immediately provided breathing assistance to Neo.
Seeing Anara bring her lips closer to Neo, made Atha turn his head away. Atha feels sorry for Anara, because of Neo's brother's ignorance. But Atha also can't do anything but let Neo prove Anara's love for him.
After three times Anara gave Neo breathing assistance, Neo finally coughed and opened his eyes making Anara smile spontaneously happily hugging Neo's body.
"Brother is aware?" asked Anara innocently.
"You don't want to die yet, honey!" Neo said ridiculously with a laugh.
Griuttt…
One tug in Atha's and Neo's ears made the two brothers scream together in pain, making Anara startled and covered her mouth with both hands.
"You guys…! What did you do to, Anara?" asked Mr. Nuh without letting go of the pulling ears in his son's ears.
"Oh my God!" Neo and Atha grinned in unison and asked Mr.Nuh to let go of the pulling ears in listen to them.
"Awww… it hurts, Dad!" shouted Neo, who was harshly punished for being punished for being naughty to a girl as innocent as Anara.
"Anara! Next time outside or somewhere else someone drowns like Neo, you don't need to do any help. Especially if the one who drowned was a man. You just need to seek help from other people, even if it's an emergency like before." Mr. Nuh let go of the tangles on Neo and Atha's ears, then turned to give Anara a towel.
"Quickly change your clothes, Anara! Daddy's worried you're catching a cold." Mr. Nuh said, which Anara immediately nodded his head.
After Anara left, Mr. Nuh never stopped scolding Neo and Atha. Even Mr. Nuh hit Neo and Atha even though it was slow, the punishment still made his two spoiled sons ask for forgiveness so that Mr. Nuh would no longer beat them both.
"Oh my gosh, Daddy! It hurts…" Neo said with a pitiful face.
"How could you two trick Anara in such a mischievous way? Anara is too innocent for you to work like that. What if the events outside make Anara do the same thing to the victim, while the victim is a man. Do you really want Anara to kiss another man on the lips, huh?" Mr. Nuh asked making Neo shake his head instantly.
"Don't do it, Daddy! How sincere would I be if Anara did that to another man, Dad!" Neo's face turned panicked.
"You are jealous? Then why not approach it in another way?" Mr. Nuh said making Neo's eyes sparkle.
"What way, Daddy?" asked Neo curiously.
Pletaaakkk…
Mr. Nuh flicked Neo's forehead so hard that his son screamed in pain.
"Awww… it hurts, Dad! I asked for an answer Daddy even flicked me. Why is this daddy like this to me? But when it comes to Anara, Daddy is really kind and sincere!" Neo's protest made Mr. Nuh chuckle.
"You just look for answers on the internet! Aren't you guys also with the naughty idea of looking for answers on the internet to trick, Anara?" Mr. Nuh smiled mockingly as he left his two sons.
"Dad… give me the answer! Pleaseee…" shouted Neo, while Atha chose to follow Mr. Nuh.
Anara had already changed into her pajamas when she had just finished changing. Baby Belia woke up from her sleep, making Anara smile welcoming this cute and adorable baby girl.
"Are you awake, honey?" said Anara, making a young baby smile with a pillow face typical of people waking up.
"Aciii… mamama… Aci… dadady…" Belia's baby chattering again made Anara laugh happily.
"Aunty…? You called Aunty, honey?" asked Anara excitedly.
"Aciii… hehehe…" said the baby Belia.
"You can already call Aunty, dear? Auhhh… so happy, Aunty!" Anara passionately kissed Belia's baby's chubby cheeks, which made Belia laugh out loud.
Neo, who was walking towards his room with wet clothes, stopped for a moment when he heard Belia and Anara's laughter.
"When you both seem very happy, you can hear it from your loose laughter." Neo muttered laughing happily.
Anara immediately bathed her baby when she had prepared a change of clothes and warm water for her to bathe in. When finished, Anara brought the baby down to be fed.
When going down, Anara met Atha. Unusually friendly, this time Atha seemed to be avoiding Anara with her face down.
"Atha, what are you doing?" asked Anara who was surprised when she saw Atha's attitude.
"Eh? I am alright." Athena answered nervously.
"Has your fever gone down?" asked Anara who spontaneously touched Atha's forehead.
"I am better." Answered Atha who was embarrassed by Anara's kind attitude, while she even helped Neo to prank Anara.
"Anara, I'm sorry!" said Atha.
"Why apologize? Are you alright?" Anara asked.
"I'm fine, just..." Atha did not continue his words.
"Just what? You need something? Let me get it! Now you just go back to your room, and rest! I will make a warm drink to cure the flu and fever that attacks you, I have a recipe from my mother. Since childhood, I always made this recipe when I had a fever and flu. You are waiting for me!" Anara said sincerely, making Atha embarrassed herself.
"Thank you, Ana! You are indeed very kind." Said Atha.
"Hey… what are you doing, Atha? As you just met? Rigid." Anara said.
"Well that's that then! I'll be waiting in my room, if you're going to make me a hot drink." Atha immediately walked to her room, while Anara went downstairs to feed Belia's baby.
As promised, Anara made Atha a warm drink to relieve cold and fever. After making the drink, Anara immediately brought it to Atha's room.
"May I come in?" asked Anara from outside after knocking on Atha's door.
"Come in, Anara!" answered Atha with a buzzing voice characteristic of someone who really has a bad cold.
"Here I made a warm drink my mother's recipe, especially for you Atha!" said Anara with a face happy.
"What's this? Sweet isn't it? asked Atha when she saw Anara's recipe for warm drink.
"I added a bit of brown sugar to make it sweeter." Anara gave the hot drink to Atha.
"Thank You." Said Atha.
"Drink and spend!" said Anara.
After Atha had drunk the warm drink made by Anara, the two of them had a warm conversation in Atha's room. At the same time Neo was walking towards the stairs, his steps stopped when he heard the joyful laughter of Atha, Anara and baby Belia.
This situation made Neo jealous, and jealous of his sister Atha's closeness to Anara. Neo had never managed to make Anara laugh out loud like that, while Atha? His sister is really very close to Anara.
"Are you jealous of the closeness of Atha and Anara?" Mr Nuh suddenly came and gently patted Neo's shoulder.
"How can Anara be that close to Atha, Dad? Meanwhile, every time Anara is with me, she can never laugh out loud like that." Neo said sadly.
"That's because Anara maintains an image in front of you, Neo!" said Mr. Nuh.
"Meaning, Daddy?" asked Neo wondering why Anara had to maintain an image when he was with her.
"Because you and Anara have the same feelings. And Anara doesn't want you to realize that, Neo!" said Mr. Nuh surprising Neo.
"Re… really?" asked Neo with twinkling eyes.
Mr. Nuh didn't answer Neo's question, he preferred to go downstairs for dinner because Mrs. Sonya was already waiting for him at the dining table. Neo only stared at Mr. Nuh's back, until the middle-aged man disappeared behind the stairs that took him downstairs.
