“Where is the girl? Shouldn't he be here!” hanna exclaimed at Bennedict who was staring at her computer screen while typing something on her keyboard, after Jeno and Nayeon left her alone.
“dia's gone.” Bennedict replied with a focused look on his computer screen.
“away?
Aughh shi! thanks to him I know now what it's like to be a prisoner, huh!” dumelnya while folding both hands on his chest.
“didn't I tell you not to provoke him, Rihanna!” benn glanced at Hanna who was still standing in front of her desk.
“ciih!. Now Brother Benn also wants to corner me because of this?!
Listen yeah! from the past until now it was always Nayeon who started the fight but why did Ahreum just yell at me?! Why am I the only one to blame. You two really make me sick!” hanna who then left passed without waiting for a response from Bennedict who still stuck it.
Benedict could only sigh as he stared at the departure of the girl who was wrathful to him.
***
Her night.
In the city park, after walking around the city park to relieve the burden of his mind, Ahreum also rested for a moment on a park bench while raising his face up to the sky by occasionally swinging his legs in turns forward and backward.
Hearing a name he had forgotten for years, made himself now seem to be brought back in his darkest days. Although what Bennedict said was enough to make Ahreum's heart hurt, he did it for Ahreum's good as well.
Yes, besides Ahreum's biological mother, the only person who knows Ahreum's current medical history is Benedict who is already like family to him.
Dreeedd.
“halo.” Greet Ahreum to the penelfon.
“where are you? Already home?” tell the phone with a worried tone.
“yet, I'm at the park.” response Ahreum.
“forgive sister, for being too hard on you earlier.” Said Bennedict in his gentle tone.
“engga, sister not wrong.” It was as if she was trying to hold back her pill cry.
“wait, brother will pick you up.” Bennedict ended his call and rushed to the city park to meet the poor girl who was alone in the dark of the night.

In a different place, which is at RSJ (mental hospital) where Rihanna's mother was treated.
The atmosphere in the room was so quiet, because the other three patients had been asleep for several hours, likewise, the mother of Rihanna who now seems to sleep in her sleep after a day of doing many activities that drain her energy.
It is an activity made by the hospital as a medium of healing for all patients and also to channel hobbies for some patients, these activities include gymnastics in the morning, then painting, painting, singing continues at lunch, then ends with a consultation session in turns for each patient.
Rihanna walked to the corner of the room, where her mother's bed was, and she held her butt in her seat still with a gaze that pointed at her mother's face which was already in a dream.
Slowly her tiny arms reached for her mother's hand, then placed it on one of her cheeks, with both eyes starting to water because they could not bear the sadness when her weak side began to control her body.
“mamiih, Hanna here miih, forgive Hanna. because Hanna can only come now.” He muttered in a sobbing that was becoming more and more.
“hiikksss.. hikssss. forgive Hanna, miih, forgive Hanna.” His words continued to say the same sentence repeatedly as he shed all his grievous cries that night.
***
Until his eyes now began to turn red, but the pain that spread in his body did not subside, even though he had tried to control himself, but the effort was in vain when someone appeared from a distance.
The person he had been waiting for since, Benedict walked quickly to approach Ahreum who was looking at him with his own eyes.
Sure enough, the cry broke when Benedict had reached Ahreum, he immediately hugged her tightly as if to calm the grief-stricken girl.
“i am afraid.. I am afraid sis..hikksss.” said Ahreum interrupted by an endless sobbing coming out of his eye patch, while squeezing Bennedict's clothes to vent the emotions that were raging inside him.
“lady isn't here, you don't have to be afraid of Ahreum, you believe in big brother don't you? Brother will never let you go back to that painful time.” said Bennedict as he gently rubbed the back of Ahreum's head.
Hearing that made Ahreum's heart a little calmer than before, until the girl in the arms of Benedict breathed her leg several times, to try to relax herself.
15 Minutes later, after being quite devoted to Bennedict, Ahreum is much better now and can take off the warm embrace of a man who is already considered a big brother to him.
The two of them looked straight ahead, before one of them opened the conversation.
“it looks like Hanna is very upset with you.” said Bennedict while glancing sideways for a moment.
“do not worry it will not last long, tomorrow also he has forgotten it.” Sahut Ahreum confident while still staring at the night sky filled with stars.
“then how is your love story with Jeno?” chirps Benn complete with a crisp laugh as if he was teasing his little sister.
“ciihh!. no need to discuss it, I even regret ever crying huhh.” Ahreum replied while leaning his back against the back of the park bench and then folding both hands on his chest.
“haha!! Brother already told you, he is an irresponsible man, after making a girl crazy about him, he will immediately feel bored and leave her. Just try to count how many ex-lovers so far, including your two stupid friends.” he said as he glanced back to the side of Ahreum's face which was still fun to straighten his gaze forward.
“1 brother, Nayeon is still with him, not yet his ex.” Ahreum revised the words of Benedict while returning the gaze of the man who was beside him.
“it won't be long your friend's relationship will also end.” Said Bennedict who re-directed his gaze forward.
“why?” ahreum asked complete with a frown on his forehead because he did not understand what was meant by Benedict.
“Winter has recovered, the plan he and his parents back at the end of this month. You know how Jeno's parents are, of course, they won't let her keep in touch with Nayeon.” Bennedict.
“ahh yes, for a moment I forgot about it hmm, but at least the relationship they established has been almost 3 years, I think Jeno this time will try to profit fighting for her love.” Typal Ahreum put both hands on me and again swung both legs with forward and back movements.
“you sure for 3 years that Jeno really loved Nayeon? It was not Nayeon who remained adamant about maintaining that relationship.” denied Bennedict who tried to voice other options that Ahreum had never thought of.
Ahreum only sighed because he did not know what to say, “hmmm.. already ahh, I want to go to rash sick, please take me there kak.” Pinta Ahreum rose from her seat and ended her discussion of the fate of her intimate romance.
“you're not home? Didn't your husband look for you?” said Bennedict who rose from his seat, then the two began to pull steps to leave the park.
“I just want to be with my dad and mom now.” He said again, linking his arm to the arm of Benedict who was walking beside him.
“ahh yes, indeed brother is still in touch with sister Winter?
Eeyy.. sister had to move on, sister does not remember how the two parents Jeno scolded and cursed brother at that time.” Ahreum added again.
“the problem is only between the brother and his parents, not with Winter, after all, even now the brother still does not approve the divorce letter.” he said while removing Ahreum's hand link and switching to embrace his small body while gently rubbing the top of Ahreum's head.
