A few hours before the incident
"do you say brother Nayyara will come, why until this hour he has not been seen?. "
Gun sighed, actually he did not want to come when Brian kept calling, but because of his actions that replaced Nayy's message for Brian he became upset himself, the thing he thought about after this was just waiting for Brian to get bored and desperate, and then hate Nayy who he thought was a liar, and Brian would hate the girl, stop liking him so that he can alone approach brother Nayy without having to compete with this boy, that's Gun's current mind.
"i'll just go to his house then. "
Brian who suddenly stood up and stepped towards the parking lot of his bicycle, making Gun aghast in shock, he then chased Brian in panic.
"we'll just wait a minute, maybe Nayy's brother is busy with something. "
"can't, because he can't be contacted by a cell phone, you know he's not given a cell phone because he's still in school, his father is quite strict educating him, he can only use his mother's phone, he can only use his mother's phone, while now her mother must not have come home from work, I have to go to her house to make sure. "
"eh wait for Bri.. ".
Gun takes hold of Brian who already wants to ride his bike.
" just wait, maybe Nayy's brother is waiting for his mother to come home from work. "
"if that's the reason she won't promise to come, I know it's her mother's birthday, I want to give her something, so I ask her to meet before her mother comes home, you're delivering my message, aren't you? ".
Brian looked at Gun who was immediately mistaken, the boy looked a little surprised earlier.
" of course, Bri, you will immediately receive his reply from me, right?. "
"meat him Gun, I'm afraid he's having trouble getting permission from his father, I better go to his house, make sure that he's okay, not to meet here either is okay, I can meet her at her place for a while, give her something I've prepared for her. "
"what do you want to give him?. "
Brian smiled shyly, but in spirit he reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a pendant with a star-shaped hanger that could be opened, he opened the star, there was a small photo there, Brian chuckled to see it, he said, he put the photo there himself.
"you said you liked Nayy's sister, why even the picture of your sister you put up there? ".
Gun wonders with a squeak on his forehead when he sees a photo of his brother Brian who instead fills the pendant.
" that's because I want brother Nayy to like my brother if he knows how I feel, I'm still very small for Gun's relationship, I'm also self-conscious if maybe later my feelings can change for Nayy's sister, I think I'm still very small for Gun's relationship, nah.. If my brother is an adult, I will direct him to a good woman like Nayy's sister. "
"so you mean how? You want to set them up?. "
"right, so let's take me to Nayy's sister's house, before the night gets late. "
"if your brother doesn't like Nayy's sister how? ".
Confident Brian makes Gun look upset, that's why he had already punished Brian by cutting the brake rope of his bike so that Brian at least difficulty if passing the downhill road, let him feel the pain of falling down in disappointment by his own beloved goods.
Gun refuses to go with Brian to Nayy's house, but secretly follows Brian from behind to see if the boy can meet Nayy or not, Gun sees Brian passing by Nayy's mother who just got home from work.

"so you're the Brian that Nayyara likes to tell me about?".
the dimpled woman smiled at Brian, while walking to lead his bike Brian smiled, he blushed because Nayy who turned out to tell about himself to his mother.
" sorry aunt, I interrupt the nights, I promise I'll be home soon if my business with sister Nayy is done. "
While scratching his head that does not itch, save the shame and condolence when looked at by a woman who smells like her mother, Brian blushed, because Nayyara's mother returned with a smile.
"it's okay, you can also come to our house at any time, thank you for wanting to be Nayyara's friend, she's a bit closed, so there aren't many friends at school or outside the house, he said that if he had a close friend it would be nice to make a aunt. "
Brian's shoulder was touched warmly by the hand, while walking down the road that led him to the house that always greeted him with a warm smile there, the house that took him to two people he loved very much.
They stopped by the side of the road, waiting to cross the road, because across the road to Nayyara's house was located, Nayyara's mother still clutched Brian's shoulder who dragged his bicycle next to the other hand, and Nayyara's mother was still holding his shoulder, they exchanged small laughs as small talk accompanied them, after looking left right it seemed like no vehicles were passing by, Brian stepped up cheerfully, taking a look at the other side, pushing his bike in the footsteps of Nayyara's mother who continued to smile looking at Brian who was impatient to see his son soon.
Until a few seconds later, Nayyara's mother realized the spotlights of a bus looked strange from a distance there, Brian right in the middle of the road, the child stopped because he was looking at the bicycle tire that seemed stuck, which was not good, he checks what is strange about his bike until he does not realize a bus is speeding towards him, Nayyara's mother runs to reach Brian's body, but the squeaks of the tires and the earthy horn seem deafening, the mother of Nayyara runs to the ears, his screams calling Brian's name were not heard by the boy, as soon as the two bodies floated and were thrown away to the corner of the road, the bus that hit the street lamp post, and the bus hit the street, the two bodies groaned for a moment, while hugging Brian's body which was both injured and bleeding a lot of blood on the head, Nayyara's mother closed her eyes first, while Brian who endured the pain, until his groaning could not be heard, staring at the face that was right in front of him, he cried, then dark, silent and cold covered his head.
"excuse me, brother Nayy, I'm sorry. "
that night, the wind blew very soft, silent that momentarily created by nature instantaneously a rowdy lot of sound came, swarming every corner of the road, among the people who ran and huddled there, he said, one of the dumbest figures with a guilty thump in the chest, in his hand holding the pendant he had taken earlier from Brian's jacket pocket.
Gun seemed to tremble, he ran away from the scene, the corner of his eyes were watering, he wanted to hold back his crying but could not, while he was scratching his bike towards a place where others could not find him, it is a house that no one could have thought that tonight he was a witness to the tragedy that befell his friend, no... In his mind right now, he's gonna erase Brian from his best friend, he's just a friend, yeah... Schoolmates and playmates.

Present-day
In the apartment room, Gun looked at himself in the mirror, his face cloudy and dark, the two canned beers he had spent were apparently unable to erase the memory that had been very attached to his head.
Dream, it turns out that not only Vano who was in the dream of the arrival of Brian's crying face in his subconscious, he also got such torment, but in his dream, he also received such torment, Brian was just looking at him with angry eyes and a vengeful-looking hand, since that incident, his sleep was no longer as good as it used to be.
In his hand held a necklace with a pendant of star shape in his palm, the guilt that brad years he was damning now increasingly revealed surface, fear and the desire to end all this seemed to make him desperate, nayyara's face continued to flicker in his head, and Vano's face, which was also now in his unrest, would take everything he wanted to have, Gun clasped the necklace again, with anger and reddened eyes, now he has no way to return.
