Three days after Hara asked Kafka to stay together, suddenly someone came to Kafka's house.

"Sister." call the guy.

Kafka frowned, he felt why this guy in front of him called himself a big brother. But there was one that came to his head.

"Could he be Natasha's sister?" inner Kafka.

"Lo who?" ask Kafka.

"I'm Zelio. My brother should have known me." said Zelio.

Kafka shut up for a moment. It turns out that his guess is true. This guy in front of him was his half-sister. One look Kafka can already judge that the attitude of his stepbrother is arrogant and arrogant, but has a spoiled side. Yes, even so at least there is still courtesy with him who calls Kafka as Brother.

"Hm, what's wrong?" ask Kafka.

"I beg you, brother wants to stay in our house." pinta Zelio with teary eyes.

When Kafka was about to refuse, Zelio said something that immediately made Kafka worried.

"So please, brother, I heard that my brother does not live in our house, mom and dad are really going to get divorced. My mother had already prepared a ticket to go abroad after the divorce. And papa, he doesn't really care about me. I beg you to stay in our house." said Zelio.

Kafka was speechless.It felt like he wanted to immediately reject the request of his half-brother. But there was a sense of unbearability in his heart. Moreover, he still remembers how Yora who cried so much when her parents divorced and until now Yora always said sad because her parents seemed to not care about her. If there was no Anya, maybe Yora's situation could have been worse. Plus he knows what it's like to live with an incomplete family. That's very painful.

"What happens if I stay one roof with Natasha? Can I control my feelings?" inner Kafka.

"Wouldn't you?" ask Zelio again.

After full consideration. Finally Kafka agreed to Zelio's request because it was not hearty. That same day Zelio immediately invited Kafka to his house without packing, because he had just received a message from his sister Natasha that his parents were fighting again.

"Well if that's what you want! I'm tala-"

"Father!!" before his father said the word talak to his. Zelio went inside the house while pulling Kafka's hand.

"Stop! Kafka is here! He wants to stay here! Don't get divorced." said Zelio with reddened eyes.

Zelio, El, and Hara argue with each other. His gaze focused on looking at a girl upstairs who was also staring at him. The girl's eyes look teary. So is Kafka, even though Kafka's eyes are not teary but Kafka's eyes are red.

"So this is why you're avoiding me?" natasha murmured along with her tears that began to fall.

"I'm sorry." said Kafka inside.

Time has passed. Kafka is currently preparing for his graduation exam. During Kafka's stay in the house, Hara loved Kafka like her own biological child. El had already begun to accept Kafka as his son. Zelio was also quite familiar with him. Only one less.

His relationship with Natasha was very awkward. When eating together, passing at home, at school or elsewhere. They don't greet each other. Because Kafka always dodges. During his stay at home, Kafka kept himself locked up in his room to learn not to meet Natasha. If it was Sunday he would be out of the house from morning to evening with the same goal, which is to avoid Natasha.

Today is Sunday. As usual Kafka is ready with a plain white shirt, black jeans, and a leather jacket while carrying a bag containing his books. Today he intends to study at Yohan's apartment for the preparation of the graduation exam which will be held tomorrow Monday.

"Where else are you going?" ask Natasha suddenly.

"It's none of your business." said Kafka without seeing Natasha's face.

"I know you've always avoided me. Don't make our relationship so awkward" Natasha said.

"I'm not avoiding you. Every day we eat together and go to school together. You think I'm avoiding you?" ask Kafka.

Natasha clenched her hands tightly. "I still like you Kaf." said Natasha.

Hearing that Kafka immediately turned his body to look at Natasha. The girl is crying now.

"No, that's wrong. Stop liking me. I'm your sister!"

"I know, but I can't get rid of that liking that easily. Every day I look at you, the love gets bigger" Natasha said.

"Crazy." sizzle Kafka.

After that regardless of Natasha who was still crying, he immediately rode his motorcycle and left the house. He drives his bike very quickly to vent his emotions. Unknowingly, she reached Yohan's apartment.

BRACKET!

Kafka who closed the door loudly made Yohan who was studying startled.

"Why Lo?" ask Yohan who realizes that Kafka is not okay.

Kafka did not reply, the man sat down and opened the book. He looked serious about studying the book. But a moment later the man slumped his head on the table.

"Natasha again?"

"He still likes me." replied Kafka.

Yohan sighed. No wonder anyway, when two people who like each other often meet their feelings will be difficult to get rid of.

Amidst the silence, Kafka's eyes glanced at a form lying under the table. Take that form.

"It's...." Kafka immediately looked at Yohan after seeing the form.

"Hm, I'm going to college in Germany" replied Yohan.

Kafka kept quiet, read the registration form again. It looks like the payment is quite expensive. Even if he is a rich man's son, but he does not want to ask his parents for money. After thinking, he remembered with all the singing race charters he had, the meticulous smart race charters and some of the olympics he got during school at Ivarnest High School.

"Gue can come?" ask Kafka.

"Start." said Yohan. The guy goes inside and gets Kafka a form to fill out.

"Gue speaks German, private lessons are the same as me" Yohan said.

Kafka smiled happily. After that, he filled out the registration form. But on a different path. Kafka entered through the scholarship. After completing the form, they focus on learning.

*

After one week of testing. Finally Kafka was declared graduated with the best grades from all students of his class.

"Congratulations." said Natasha congratulating.

Kafka just nodded. A moment later came his father and stepmom with Zelio. Zelio immediately ran over and hugged Kafka.

"Congratulations Brother! Original sister is so cool!" puji Zelio's.

"Thank you." said Kafka with a smile.

"Welcome, my son is equally papa." said Hara while stroking Kafka's head gently.

"Good boy" El said as he patted Kafka on the shoulder.

"Thank you, my reward."

Suddenly someone called him.

"Woy Kafka here!" shouted someone who was none other than Arzel.

"Kafka go there first" said Kafka. Then he ran to Arzel.

Arzel invites Kafka to gather at the school rooftop with his other friends for the last time.

"Are you both seriously going to Germany? When's departure?" ask Hazel.

Kafka nodded. "Tonight, why would anyone want to come?" take Kafka.

"Silver, no. I want to go to college in South Korea" Yora said, hugging Nathan's arm. They have been dating since 3 months ago. "Who knows if you can meet oppa-oppa" he said again.

Nathan rattled Yora's hair in dismay. "Zam, duo Zel. Where are you going to college?" ask Nathan.

"Gue came with Daddy to America" Azam replied.

"We take care of the house, go to college here." said Arzel.

"He'em, you'll be home later. We'll pick him up." Hazel said, winking one eye.

They joke and laugh together. Because maybe after today they will be difficult to meet and communicate with each other.

*

After school, Kafka told his family that he was going to Germany with his best friend. Both his father and mother and Zelio supported Kafka's good intentions. Only Natasha doesn't look happy.

"Yes, hunting packing. Let's just when Yohan comes ready." said El.

"Zelio." call Kafka.

"Why brother?" ask Zelio.

Kafka smiled and placed the key in Zelio's hand. "Get my bike during my time in Germany" said Kafka who was immediately nod by Zelio.

After that he went straight to his room and started packing things.

BRAK!!

"What the fuck?! Why suddenly?!" ask Natasha.

"What?"

"Why didn't you say you were going to Germany?! You can go to college here. You, me, and Zelio could be one college, right?" ask Natasha again.

"I don't want a college with you." replied Kafka.

"I promise to try to erase my feelings. Please don't go.." pinta Natasha.

Kafka laughed cynically. "That's what you call erasing feelings? You forbid me from leaving because you still like me. And I don't want you to like me, that's why I'm gone" Kafka said.

"But-"

"Get out!" kafka said in a very cold tone.

With a heavy heart Natasha came out from Kafka's room. While Kafka continued to pack his things after he finished he immediately called Yohan to immediately pick him up.

*

"Put Lo's suitcase in the trunk." said Yohan.

Kafka was helped by the driver to put his suitcase into the trunk of the car, after which he got into the car. Kafka looked back at his mother, Zelio and Natasha who were still at the entrance of the house. They are seen waving at him except for Natasha who is seen holding back tears.

"Look ahead." said Yohan, blocking Kafka's view

Kafka nodded according to what Yohan said. "It's the best. If I stay here I can lose with my own heart. And I'm just going home after being a great doctor" Kafka said.
