Edis and Angga were still sitting together on a park bench. Both of them looked at the dark night decorated with stars.
"Kak Angga had never fought before, never had any problems at school. For helping me at that time, Brother had to get into a fight and become the teacher's spotlight." Edis still regretted the incident. Although he felt grateful to Angga who had helped him, but he was also sad Angga became the target of anger of the teachers.
"How will Big Brother come to school tomorrow with a face like this?" Edis was so worried about the condition of Angga. Seeing the man being scolded by Pak Mada in the teacher's room, made him sad. Angga is a role model for every student in the school. His reputation was not necessarily ruined.
"You don't have to worry about anything." Angga lowered his gaze. He really doesn't care about his own life. Even if he had to die, he wouldn't mind either.
"How can I not worry about Brother? Brother's condition lately is not as usual!" gerutu Edis's.
Angga grabbed Edis' hand while grasping it tightly. "I can take good care of myself, don't worry" he said with a look of earnestness.
"Maybe you're not worried about yourself. But, other than you, there are others who worry about your situation. Can't anyone not want to see you hurt and hate to see you hurt like this?" edis's eyes glazed over saying so. Perhaps Angga had not felt his high level of concern for the man.
Angga raised his head. "Do you really love me?" tanyakanya.
"Why did you ask?" He thought Angga had understood his feelings.
"I'm afraid you accepted me just because you had to." Angga showed a sad facial expression.
Edis shakes. "I really love you and care about you."
Angga pulled Edis' body into his close embrace. "Never stop loving me."
For a moment they expressed the feeling of love by hugging each other. Their relationship has only been lived for a few days, but it feels so heavy their steps forward. It was as if they had a hard-to-pierce bulkhead to be able to get together.
"Say your brother got married today?" asked Angga while stepping to take Edis home to the dormitory.
"Yes, but a simple marriage. There's no show."
"Do you want to see her get married?"
Edis laughed as he looked towards Angga. "What is Brother talking about? We're still just high school kids. There's just one."
"Six months I'm not a high school boy anymore. You're also a year and a half into high school. How about after graduation we get married?"
"Hahaha .. is Brother really ready?" Edis considers Angga's speech just a joke.
"If you're ready, I'll propose to you!"
Edis just smiled hearing Angga's words. "I'm going in first, brother. See you tomorrow," he said.
Angga was still standing in front of the gate of the dormitory watching Edis who stepped inside. He made sure his girlfriend went inside first before he finally decided to go home.
Along the way, Angga ponders about his life goals ahead. If it wasn't for Edis, he wouldn't want to live anymore. He hated his destiny to live with a man he hated so much and was his father.
Before everything was revealed, he felt the father as a perfect figure, a responsible father and loved the family. His father often worked overtime, commuting from out of town and even abroad. All the luxurious facilities are enjoyed by the father's hard work.
However, after learning of the affair that his father had been doing, he turned to hate his own father. He felt the kindness of the father was shown only as a cover to cover up his rot outside the house.

Retha still looked at the sleeping husband beside her. Men who usually look excited, tonight fall asleep soundly after their sex session has ended.
His sleep looks sound and calm, his breathing is regular. Bara looks charming, really handsome and charming in the eyes of Retha.
Sometimes he was surprised himself could be found with a man like Bara. The man who was able to lift himself from the abyss of adversity to the top throne of a queen. The luckiest woman in the world is the woman who was united by her husband, as the saying goes.
Retha grabbed her phone, tried to contact her sister. For some reason on this happy night he wanted to talk to his sister for a while.
"Hello ..," said Edis from across the phone.
"I thought you were asleep, Edis," said Retha.
"I was just about to go to sleep, but the phone vibrated and there was a call coming in from my brother undoing the intention to sleep."
Rethas smiled hearing that. Since Edis moved into the dorm, they have become less and less likely to meet and talk. He loved his sister and always loved her.
He always thought back to the times when his mother died, his sister was still a child. Edis had to lose the love of a mother at a relatively young age. As much as possible he was instrumental in giving love to Edis, although it still could not replace the affection of a mother.
Edis as a teenager often could not understand his way of thinking. He always acted for the good of the family, while Edis often considered him selfish, including about the father he had abandoned. Edis was upset with him for hating him.
"Have you learned?" ask Retha.
"Already, Brother. It's late at night, it's time for people to sleep, not study."
Reha gave a small laugh hearing Edis grumble. At eleven o'clock in the evening most people had gone to bed. However, he did not feel sleepy at all.
"Sister why? Isn't this bridal night? Was Brother abandoned by Brother Bara?"
"No, he's sleeping next to me."
"Huh, sleep?"
Edis sounded shocked by the words that Retha had just said.
"Yes, he's asleep." Rethah repeated his answer to make Edis believe.
"Normally the first night people don't get to sleep, brother. Brother is weird ...."
"Who said? Have you ever been? You're still a kid anyway!
"Self called me, I thought I'd talk about the first night. Fear Brother abandoned Brother Bara."
"That's impossible, Mas Bara is a very good person."
"Hopefully so on, brother. I'll be happy if you're happy."
"Thank you still, Edis. You've been a good sister."
"I should be the one to thank Brother for being such a kind and patient brother."
Retha recalled the difficult times she and her sister had experienced. As an older brother who used to be old enough to understand the condition of the family, he really did not want to go back to the past. He wants himself and his family to be happy for the next time.
