Irvin who had tasted the dish, intended to go home. Anya who saw it, hurriedly took the cake she had prepared earlier. Just as Irvin opens the car door, Anya comes with a birthday cake in her hand complete with lit candles.
“Happy birthday to you. happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.”
Anya stopped right in front of Irvin while thrusting the cake in his hand. Irvin silently looked at Anya with an expressionless face.
“Surprise make bang Irvin who has helped me all day. Happy birthday, bang. Let's make a wish keep blowing the candles.”
Instead of blowing out a candle, Irvin grabbed the cake and threw it away violently. Anya was surprised that the cake she made with great difficulty just fell into the grass. He stared inexplicably at Irvin.
“Kok dumped bang. I purposely made a cake for my brother. Special from me.”
“I don't need a surprise! I also don't like to celebrate my birthday!”
“But bang, I just want to share your happiness. This is also a special day for brother.”
“What do you know about me, huh?? Don't be ignorant and don't care. You think I'm happy with all this? Not at all! All day I've been wasting my time following all your silly wishes. You are nothing more than a spoiled girl who always does it. Is it because everyone likes you, so do you? Do you realize that your attitude has made the people near you uncomfortable? Alisha, Jihan even your own sister-in-law-to-be isn't comfortable with you. Stop being spoiled, not everyone likes your attitude. Including me!”
Irvin immediately got into his car and ran his vehicle without caring about Anya who was shocked to hear his words earlier. Anya's eyes look teary, Irvin's string of spicy sentences hurt the girl's heart.
“ Him..”
Kenan, who happened to pass by, was curious to see his cousin standing in the courtyard of the villa. The young man approached, and was surprised to see the face of the girl who was drenched in tears.
“nya. lo why?” Anya just shook her head.
“Tell me, lo why? Who made you cry?” Kenan held onto both of Anya's shoulders. But the girl was unmoved, only a clear circle was flowing from her eyes. Kenan pulled Anya into his arms. The girl's cry broke out in Kenan's arms.
☘️☘️☘️
BRACKET!
Barra was shocked as the door of her room opened violently. Kenan walks into the room and goes straight to Irvin's desk. Just like Barra, Irvin was also surprised to see Kenan coming up with a flushed face.
“Nan..” Reprimand Barra.
“Bang, how do you want Anya? What did you say until Anya cried? WHAT?!”
“Nan.. bentar Nan.. What is this?” Barra is confused to see Kenan who hit Irvin suddenly.
Before Hanna's birthday party ended, Kenan immediately brought Anya home because her cousin kept crying. As hard as Kenan persuaded Anya, but nothing came out of the girl's mouth. Kenan finally found out for himself. He saw the villa's cctv footage. Seen last time Anya talked to Irvin and the man also rudely threw away the birthday cake that Anya had brought. Kenan immediately concluded that Irvin was the cause.
“Denger ya bang, I don't know what you said to Anya and what made you throw away the birthday cake that Anya loved to elo. But I don't like the way you treat Anya! Once again you make Anya cry, I will not see you son om Radix or his brother Revan, I will make the same calculation lo. Inget it!!”
Kenan pointed at Irvin's forehead with his index finger and walked out of Barra's room. In front of the room, Kenan crosses paths with Radix. The young man immediately left without saying hello let alone kissing the back of Radix's hand, as was his custom if meeting with the parents. He just got into the elevator.
The confused Radix saw Kenan's attitude go straight into Barra's room. He saw the young man coming out of Barra's room. A strange atmosphere was also found Radix there. It looks like Barra just stood up and looked at Irvin with a disappointed look.
“What is this?”
Both Barra and Irvin are shocked by Radix's sudden arrival. The two men simply fell silent and increasingly made Radix suspicious. He pulled out the chair in front of Irvin's desk and sat down there.
“What's up?” ask Radix again.
“Ngga nothing, om,” Barra is trying to cover up what just happened.
Without Irvin saying it, Barra already knew what happened hearing Kenan's story. Irvin did not like and never celebrated his birthday again since he knew who his birth mother was and what caused the woman died. He would rather visit his mother's grave. Sometimes for most of the day he was there, telling me what happened to him over the past year. Therefore Barra always gives leave to Irvin every birthday. But because yesterday he was too focused on Hanna, the man forgot that Irvin had to go to the tomb.
“Ngga nothing, pa,” finally heard also Irvin's voice.
“You didn't fight with Kenan?”look at Radix who still does not believe in the answer of the child.
“Ngga. There really isn't anything. What is needed?” Barra's trying to divert the conversation.
“Just remind the day after we have a meeting with the sponsors for our latest film. Please take note of what they want but do not let our film so the ad runs for them and blurs the essence of the story itself.”
“Iya, om.”
“Ya already, that's it.”
Radix got up from his seat then walked out of the room. Although there was still suspicion in his heart, yet he left them and found out for himself. After Radix left, it was Barra's turn to sit at Irvin's desk.
“Lo story or I ask directly Anya.”
Irvin took a deep breath and began to tell me what happened on the night of Hanna's birthday. Her frustration at Anya who keeps holding herself back from leaving and culminates when Anya gives her a birthday cake. The girl celebrated the anniversary that she hated so much.
“Do you have to be that rude as Anya?”
“Sorry bang, I was really emotional back then.”
“For so long Anya never fuss about birthdays, lo. He also never meddled in personal matters, lo. Anya also did not know about your habits during the birthday. If he knew, he wouldn't have acted like he did yesterday. I knew Anya from childhood, she wouldn't act so impulsively if no one provoked her. I'm sure he did it because of someone's request or manners. Your job, find out who that guy is and bring it to my front. Anya I have considered my own sister, people who have dared to hurt Anya must face me. Find out the truth and apologize!”
Barra stood up from her seat then returned to her seat of greatness. Irvin paused over Barra's words. She was lucky enough that Barra did not give her a bogeman right away, given how much she loved Anya.
☘️☘️☘️
Anya sat on the balcony of her room with both hands hugging her knees. Since the incident with Irvin, the girl was more silent and daydreaming. Today he also chose to skip college. Kenan repeatedly asks him about the incident at the villa, but Anya keeps her mouth shut. Aric who was suspicious of the attitude of his sister also wondered, but the girl remained silent. He did not want to cause a quarrel between Irvin and his brother or cousin.
What weighs on Anya's mind is Irvin's remark saying that Alisha, Jihan and Naya are not comfortable with her attitude. The girl wondered what made the three women uncomfortable with her. If it's about Viren, he's been trying his best to get Viren closer to Alisha. About Jihan, it's not her fault that Kenan doesn't like that girl. And Naya, this is what's making him depressed. Maybe her sister-in-law doesn't like her. Aric is the only brother he has, is it wrong if he is close and spoiled to his brother.
Unknowingly the tears of Anya flowed. He nodded as he felt a soft clap on his shoulder. The girl hastily wiped her tears. Naya who hears from Barra about Anya and Irvin decides to work half a day and meets Anya. After all, Anya would be his sister-in-law. Naya felt she needed to get closer to Anya. Because it's only Aric, the older brother that the girl has.
“Again, His?” naya asked as she sat down beside Anya.
“As sister see. Longer bengong gaje.”
“Kok didn't go to college?”
“Males.”
“Ck.. don't males, later long after. Emang want to get the title of eternal student,” Naya chuckles. Anya just smiled faintly in response.
The mood was silent for a moment. Somehow Naya felt, Anya slightly kept her distance from him. So did Anya who felt awkward with Naya because of Irvin's speech the other day.
“nya.. if I may know, you why the hell?”
“Why what brother? I'm fine with.”
“Tadi bang Barra told me that Nan came to the office and kept getting angry with Irvin. You know why?”
“Hah? Time of the day kak?”
“Iya. You must know why. Want a story, no?”
Anya hesitated a little, but hearing what happened, she felt the need to explain this before the matter got complicated. The girl forgets that besides being smart, Kenan is also the most kepo human. It must have been the young man figuring out what had happened to him until crying that time.
“ Him..”
“It's my fault brother. I made Irvin angry. I want to give you a surprise with Irvin, he's a birthday too. But I don't know if bang Irvin doesn't like to celebrate his birthday.”
“Ber just that? Nothing else?”
“Bang Irvin also said that Alisha was not comfortable with my attitude, because I was close to the Viren bang. He also said that Jihan was also uncomfortable because I was close to Nan. And..”
“And what?” naya urged as Anya suddenly stopped talking.
“She said sister Naya is also not comfortable with me. I'm sorry, brother, if it makes you uncomfortable with me. But I only have Aric bang. I promise after you're married, I won't bother Aric bang again.”
“Yeah, His.”
“nya.. I never talked about it at all. You're Aric's only bang brother. I understand that you guys are close and it's our duty to look after you. You deserve to be spoiled with a Aric bang. Whenever, you are his sister. There are terms ex-boyfriend, ex-wife, but there is no term ex-sister or parent, because it is a bond that can not be broken. I love you, His. Just like I love Nara and Dilara. You believe me, right?”
“So sister Naya isn't angry with me?”
“Who is angry with you? How can I be angry with a somplak girl who always makes me laugh. When my relationship with the Aric bang was tenuous, it was you who always comforted me and assured me that the Aric bang would come back with me. How could I be angry with you. I'm grateful that you're my sister-in-law.”
Naya summarized Anya's face with both hands and then re-hugged the girl. This time he was really upset with Irvin. He will meet the man, if necessary will hit his head hard in order to think clearly. Naya untangled her embrace, alternating with an embrace on Anya's shoulder.
“nya.. You get the idea of making a surprise for Irvin from where? The feeling you never boisterous about his birthday. You are more boisterous make a surprise for Revan.”
“Emang wasn't my idea, brother. Jihan who wants to make a surprise for bang Irvin, but he can not be about om Gurit ngajakin family vacation he said. That's why he asked me for the vicein.”
“Jihan? Doesn't Jihan know that Irvin doesn't even celebrate his birthday?”
“Masa?”
“Hmm.. Obviously this, must be the base of the problem in Jihan. It's rich he intentionally scratches you.”
“But why?”
“Yes because the stove mledug. One Indonesia Raya also already knows that Jihan likes the same jerky boy.”
“Hahahaha. lebai deh.”
“I'm serious, His. Jihan must be jealous, angry, sprained because Nan didn't respond to her. And he's venting it to you because you're close to Nan. Denger yes, the girl who is burned jealous, can do anything. You have to be careful with Jihan, don't believe it.”
“Then sis? Jihan is his son om Gurit, his best friend mami.”
“All children inherit the kindness of their parents. It could be that they changed because of the environment or other things, jealousy for example.”
“Ya anyway, sometimes I feel Jihan ketus very much with me. I think that if our parents are friends, then the children can also be friends. Rich bang Aric equal bang Barra or bang Ravin. But that doesn't apply to me as much as Jihan and bang Irvin.”
Anya's face looks sad again. It's sad that the son of his mother's best friend doesn't like him. If Sekar finds out, surely the woman will feel sad. Naya nodded her embrace to see Anya who was sad again.
“Ngga to think about Jihan. You still have other friends, there is Viren also Revan. They are sincerely equal to you and certainly love you too.”
“But Al is also not comfortable see me deket same bang Viren.”
“Who said? Have you ever heard Al talk like that? Al must understand your closeness with Viren. Do not have to be taken heart. Mending we make a cake just yuk, I want to make a cake for bang Aric. Teach me yes.”
“Ok.”
Anya's spirit returned after a long talk with Naya. It's like having a sister. You can share anything without feeling awkward. Although close, Anya could not tell all her problems to Aric. Especially sensitive issues like yesterday. He also did not dare to tell Sekar for fear of affecting the relationship of the mother with her friends.
☘️☘️☘️
The five people who conspired yesterday to prank Anya were gathering together. They talked about how to carry out the plan without Kenan knowing. Jihan who was near them, unintentionally listened to the conversation. The girl stood up and approached them.
The five people instantly fell silent at the arrival of Jihan. They were afraid that Jihan would leak their plan. Leisurely Jihan pulled out a chair then sat down together. He looked one by one the faces of the five people in front of him who looked worried. The girl just smiled thinly.
“Your plans suck. You have to do something extreme if you want to do Anya. I'll help you.”
“Seriously? Lo instead of cementing as Anya?”
“Not that means I don't sprain him. May I help you?”
“Bby.. can.. what is the plan lo?”
Jihan asked everyone to come closer. With a slow voice yet still able to be heard clearly, the girl explained what they were going to do to prank Anya. He will also distract Kenan, Revan and Haikal. All just nodding their heads to hear Jihan's plan which turned out to be more powerful than they had.
“How much Perus Prabu? He said he wanted to follow.”
“Prabu to be Anya. He came to see Anya. Usually girls will fall in love with a guy who has become his hero. How?”
“Bby.. can.. when do we go to the plan?”
“Besok aja.”
“Ok. Deal!”
Jihan smiled with satisfaction. He wanted to see how Anya's face looked when she got a surprise from him. The girl can still smile. Originally Jihan did not want to prank Anya anymore, for her it was enough to get the girl to get a spray from Irvin. But his frustration increased when Irvin rebuked him.
The man was angry at her for knowing the person behind Anya's surprise act was her. Even Irvin complained about it to Gurit. As a result, Jihan got spray from Gurit, even he got a sentence not to leave the house except for college and spending money. This of course further fueled Jihan's hatred for Anya.

After the last lecture, Kenan rushed to the cafeteria. One of his friends said he wanted to invite The Myth band to perform at the annual music event that is usually held by one of the famous cigarette products. Of course the young man was enthusiastic, his band could one stage with the top band in the country. He, Viren, Revan and Haikal gathered in the canteen to meet with one of the representatives of the event committee.
Anya still tidied up her stuff in class. Kenan told him to go straight to the cafeteria. Anya exited the class, then walked down the stairs while humming a little. His eyes were fixed on the dark afternoon sky, it seemed like it was going to rain.
Just as Anya was about to set foot into the cafeteria, Dina, Alisha's friend came to her while running. The girl stopped in front of Anya with a gasp of breath. Anya was confused herself seeing Dina who looked panicked.
“ Him..” Dina took a breath for a moment.
“Why lo?”
“Al..”
“Why Al?”
“So I saw him being taken to the back of campus. I don't know where to take it either. I want to nolongin scared because it's just myself.”
“Masa? Wrong look at times, he's a martial artist. Time not to volunteer.”
“Where do I know. I saw him being carried along with whom I did not know. Maybe Al was drugged.”
Anya begins to worry about hearing about Alisha. He feared that the kidnapping of his cousin was repeated. The girl asked clearly where Alisha was taken away.
“Surely she was taken there?”
“Iya, kanya.”
“Yes, I followed him. Lo to the cafeteria keep telling Kenan about Al and tell me to follow.”
“Ok.”
The two girls started running in different directions. Anya headed behind the campus, while Dina headed for the cafeteria. Although tired, Dina continued to force herself towards the canteen. Sure enough, Kenan and some of his friends were talking seriously with a man.
“Ken..nan.” call Dina with gasping voice.
“Who do you?” ask Kenan.
“Gue. That's.. Al brought some people to the back of campus.”
“Yang really?” ask Viren.
“Iya bang.”
Just as Viren was about to get up from his seat, when from the direction of the canteen door, he saw Alisha walking in with her leisure. Dina is surprised to see Alisha and her friend's condition is fine.
“That's Al,” Show Kenan.
