Crickets sound mutually unpretentious. Shimmering stars and bright luminous moons always duet creating a beautiful night. Tonight on the balcony of my room, I was looking forward to enjoying the evening. This house is getting quieter. From this morning, Mas Reza went out of town to see clients dealing with dispute cases.
Besides being a businessman, Mas Reza also doubles as a lawyer.
'Honey at the time had a diploma S2 law degree did not kepake, ' that's how he said about.
In fact, even with business his life has been fulfilled. However, for Mas Reza to be a lawyer was the goal from childhood.
Holds chin to the balcony fence. Take a deep breath. Suddenly I remembered someone. Andrian, my stepson. For five days he did not return home. Lastly, at that time of night he came out in a hurry while carrying a backpack and wearing a helmet on the head and slammed the door without a word said. The child is like keeping a secret.
Because of Mas Reza's carelessness to nag him several times via phone. Like a child who has no home, that's how it is. Since I became a stepmother, she has rarely been home. After school, Andrian always left without saying goodbye, then went home at night, so continued for about a week.
Sometimes during my study hours, he always seemed uninspired. Languid and lethargic. He was more silent and passive. Andrian used to be very active in asking about lessons compared to other students, but now it is really different.
What's wrong with her? Is it because of my presence in Mas Reza's life that he has changed as he is now? Or is it another reason Andrian has not been able to accept me as a surrogate mother for him? I don't know. Just ask the moon and the stars, do you know?

Flashbacks
Andrian POV
I knocked on Doni's door several times, waiting for the occupant to open it. After a long time of waiting, finally a figure of a annoying teenager appeared after opening it.
"Come in, Bro," said Doni as he exhaled cigarette smoke at me with a pang of pangs. It's worth the kid I call a bitch because that's how he does it.
"Had to face I know." I grunt annoyed.
"Sorry, my Bro was unintentional," he said with a wide grin. "Eh, sneak in. Cold Bro outside."
"Don, I'm sorry I've been to your house all night long" I said feeling bad.
"It's okay ko, it's just right I told grandma that tonight you want to go to my house he even seneng, he said let this house get warmer. Why do you really spend gini nights? Try it from last afternoon, I can get ready to clean the room. The guest room is a bit messy bro, shame on your eyes," he chanted at length.
"I don't know, all of a sudden I want to go to your house. Oh, where's your grandma?" My eyes swept in all directions.
"Udah to the dreamland of times." I round my mouth to form the letter O.
"Oh yeah, your bike's still outside, right? Yes, I will enter all your helms into the garage. Now you take a break, the guest room is up there next to my room. You know, right?" Doni pointed towards the top floor.
"hey are. I play at your house a lot."
Doni opened the door wide. Slowly I swung my foot into the house. The silence and quiet enveloped me, making me feel a deep sense of solitude.
"Here's your motorbike key, let me get into the garage." I handed the thing to Doni and he got out of the house to secure my vehicle.
I walked upstairs to the room that Doni had reserved for me, turned on the lights and felt as if the room had never been occupied before. The sound of my footsteps resounded across the empty floor, creating a gripping atmosphere.
There was only an empty bed, with no signs of life. I take off the backpack and put it in the corner of the room. The silence and silence surrounding this house made me feel like I was in a world apart.
I bite my lips and try to drive away the loneliness that continues to haunt. Realize that this is only a temporary place. I hope, by escaping a moment from Papa and Ms. Alfira will make me better and maybe Doni can comfort me. However, the solitude and quietness of the night left me feeling isolated and swayed by complicated thoughts and emotions.
Taking a deep breath I tried to calm myself down. I promise to fill my time with activities to get rid of all this hassle. I hope that as time goes on, this pain will slowly go away and change its calmness.
With a strong determination, I had to try to overcome the loneliness and emptiness that plagued. I lay down the body then while taking a deep breath. Looking up at the ceiling, I thought.
God, why should I love him, if you don't end up doing him for me? You better get rid of this feeling if this love makes me sick when I see it not with me. It was like a dagger was pouring down my heart.
Pulling a blanket over the entire body. I don't know, obviously now I'm tired. My heart, mind and all that stifling makes me want to scream releasing the burden on my chest.

"Sis, I .. want to be your girlfriend."
"Now, Ka?" Those eyes were very happy. Sometimes, gnawing. Maybe a sign of not believing that I accepted his love. I gave her a warm smile.
I nodded slowly. "Yes. Sister, thank you for your love." I became misbehaved and clumsy when Siska suddenly threw herself into my arms. "Siska! what if someone sees?" tanyaku riled, while my eyes combed around, afraid there was someone else.
He looked up at me with funny pursed lips. "What if people see? Now we're, aren't we officially dating?"
"But you're embarrassed. Time at school hugging?"
Siska grunting. "Isa. In the back garden of the school, it's quiet no one sees this don't worry, brother." Now he's buried his face in the recess of my neck.
"Sir ..."
"What?"
"Thank you for loving me."
"So of course, Brother likes you too, Siska." Lies. The sentence was just sweet on the lips, to please him.
"really?" Siska again looked up at the face. This time, his face was flushed with a blushing smile. Think of the plan I give as an answer.
His embrace is getting stronger. "I love you more and more."
"Go yuk. The doorbell rang again, "take me to him.
"A little while." Siska whined like she refused to move.
"The embrace continues? People will be embarrassed."
"Well, just a little. I still want a position like this, hug Big Brother," he said spoiled. Yes, I can only give up. I let Siska for a moment enjoy this moment.
I'm poignant. Will going out with Siska take away my feelings for Ms Alfira? Sometimes I feel guilty for Siska, without her knowing I've made her an escape.
