Meanwhile, in the XI class of IPA 3, the figure of a man was busy reading a book. He was too focused on reading the book to the point of not realizing that a girl had come to him. The girl is seen looking at this man with a ignorant smile, then immediately snatched the book so that this man gasped.
"Kerthi, can you not surprise me?" Ask this guy.
This girl laughed. "It's your own fault for being too focused on your book, Antara," he replied.
The man named Antara started rolling his eyes lazily, then took the book back, about to read it. The girl also did not mind handing the book back.
"By the way, the new kid was yesterday....your sister, isn't she?" Ask the girl named Kerthi.
The man called Antara paused for a moment, then replied, "you're right. He's my sister, his name is Kusuma."
"Well, for years, you never greeted him, you even let him stay in that house alone. I've been thinking until now, why did you do that?"ask Kerthi.
Between a moment of silence, he suddenly remembered the past. In his family, Kusuma is a very pampered person, even his father and mother often act unfairly to him. When they were little, they had a fight, which ended with his sister crying. Mom and Dad were angry with him.
Once, the toy he had taken his sister then when asked back, his sister did not want, ortunya instead scolded him. Injustice in the family continued to occur, until finally he was fed up and chose to leave the house without being stopped. A week later his parents had an accident as they tried to find his whereabouts and eventually died, he did not even attend his funeral service. Until now, he still had a grudge because of the injustice.
"You know yourself, right?" Tanya Antara, instead made Kerthi gulp her saliva rough. He knew, Antara really did not like it if someone defended Kusuma at this time, because of the Injustice he had received all along.
"I know that, but you didn't talk to him at all" Kerthi said cautiously.
"Let it go" said Antara indifferently.
"I heard, my sister is starting to get close to Keira now. What say?" ask Kerthi again.
"Keira?" tanya Antara was quite surprised.
"Well, Keira from the Wijaya family."
Between patting his head. "Based on the boy, it did not reflect on itself at all. Already know he is now only an orphan without parents, even attending school here because of the Scholarship, can-can approach Conglomerate girls like Keira," he said.
Kerthi smiles. He knew that Antara actually still loved his sister, but he was covered with revenge for injustice in childhood. "He is now the center of attention. You as her brother, don't want to do anything?"
"He can do what he wants" Antara said in an indifferent tone. "I don't care about his business."
Kerthi sighed. It is impossible to persuade Antara to make up with Kusuma again if this is the case. "As far as you go."
The lesson bell has rung. They had all been preparing to go home, not least Antara and Kerthi. They now live together after leaving the house from their parents, then build a laundry business together.
They began to leave the classroom, together there, until they found there Kusuma who was still close to Keira. "That boy.. isn't he ashamed of being the center of attention?" ask between annoyance.
"You pay attention to him as well" Kerthi said with a smile.
Kerthi chuckles at the response from Antara, who is actually this man he already considers his best friend.
"Let's go home, then we work again" Kerthi said as she pushed Antara to the road.
Time passes quickly. The next day, Antara started entering the school, then passed by Kusuma. Kusuma looks fun to joke with his friends, which is indeed that Kusuma is a very friendly and cheerful man. A faint smile rose on Antara's lips, but quickly the smile faded. Between immediately decided to pass by without words, letting his sister was still engrossed with his friend.
Kerthi who was looking at him seemed to shake her head. As usual, Antara will always pay attention to his sister, but reluctantly admits it.
Kusuma himself had turned to Antara, he only paused for a moment, then resumed his laughter.
The doorbell rings. They all started to enter the class. Seen between the middle is at the front door of class XI IPA 3, had looked towards class X IPA 1, which looks Kusuma trailing the Conglomerate girl. Between sighing her, feeling a little embarrassed by what Kusuma was doing so much attention was drawn to her. "Kusuma it..."
Between getting into her class, and then sitting on her stool. Next to him, Kerthi was waiting for him. "You look so attentive to your sister" Kerthi said.
"Don't make up" Antara said, making Kerthi laugh.
"Oh, yeah. You know, last night I saw your sister become an employee at Ganesha's shop," Kerthi said, causing Antara to start looking at her in disbelief. "He works part time in the evening until 11 pm. Crazy no, huh?"
Hearing that his sister worked part-time at night made him feel mixed up. Even though she wanted to keep her distance from Kusuma, she still felt caring towards him. However, he did not want to admit that feeling.
"Part-time at night? Let it. That's his business," Antara said in a tone that tried to remain indifferent, even though she felt worried.
How not, all this time all he knew was that Kusuma always slept at 9 pm when Ortu was still there. Now he works till 11 p.m? What about his health later?
"Your sister is a hard worker. He said it was time to be independent. If my brother can, why can't I? That's what he said."
"If she feels it is best for her, let her do it" Antara said in a tone that nonetheless tried to sound indifferent.
"As far as you go" Kerthi said again.
The break bell rings. Between staring at Kusuma who was busy buying Keira in this canteen. Seen Keira It was so uncomfortable with the existence of Kusuma and also there was the other girl who was engrossed in limbo as well. Seeing their interaction made him feel ashamed. His sister was right no matter what.
Kerthi looked at Antara who looked agitated. "It seems like you still care about your sister, Antara," he said gently. This is the third time he has spoken so.
Between shaking his head, trying to shake his feelings. "No, I've said many times, I don't care about his business."
The card breathed slowly. This has been the number of times he looks restless every time he talks about his brother's shit, but he always just brushed it off. "It's very stubborn" Kerthi said.
