Rear's gaze was fixed on the pink bag carried by Shica.

"That's what?"

Shica swallows saliva. He can't lie, let alone to Regar. He's bowed in.

Rear took the bag and looked at the contents. The man scrunched his forehead looking at the man's jacket that Shica was carrying.

Bella's eyes are on Shica and Regar.

"Male jacket? Who's this belong to?" Ask Regar suspiciously.

Rama turned to Shica and turned to Regar who was also looking at his two younger siblings in turn.

"That's mine, brother. Because it's too small, I want to give it to my friend." Rama took the jacket from Rear and put it back in the bag.

"Yours? It's a cheap jacket, not nine hundred, where you might buy it, I know your taste, Rama. You guys are hiding something from me?" Regar looks to be angry.

"No, it's my jacket, so I'm gonna give it to my friend." Rama is still trying to give an excuse.

Regar seemed to think then nodded, "Yes already, don't go home too late."

Rama nodded then passed pulling Shica's hand out immediately.

"Wait." Regar is back to sound.

Both steps stopped. They looked at Rear.

"What's that on your lips, Rama?" Ask Regar.

Rama touched his lips. There's lipstick in there. Bella laughed at Rama's silliness.

Shica patted her own forehead. He took a tissue and wiped the lips of Rama who immediately snatched the tissue from him.

"We're leaving, bye-bye!" Shica pulled the hand of her brother who was still busy cleaning the lipstick from her lips.

Rama and Shica enter the car. They both took long breaths at the same time.

"I almost died standing looking at Brother Regar's facial expression as if he was going to chop people's heads off." Rama touched his chest and felt a heartbeat from there.

Shica hugged Rama, "Aaaahh, I love you, Brother!"

Rama was surprised by his brother's behavior. However, she returned Shica's embrace while chuckling lightly.

"If there is no brother, what can I do? Aaahhh, you're my savior!" Shica.

"Yes, yes, I know." Rama patted Shica's cheek.

"Bang Izal, take us, please" call Rama.

Meanwhile, the,

Bella looked at Rear, "You're so soft on your sisters. I didn't think you had a good side."

"No, I don't have a good side at all." Regar shook his head.

"Why are you rude when you're with me?" Ask Bella.

"I'm not rude to you" Regar said.

"Unconscious," grumbled Bella.

"I've been more violent with other women" Regar said.

"What are you doing?" Bella asked curiously.

"I snatched it and let my friends roll it," replied Regar expressionlessly feeling the slightest guilt.

Bella was a little surprised, she really is a guy ********.

"Why did you do it?" Ask Bella.

"He's someone from an enemy gang. I don't like it" replied Regar.

"Why rape her if you don't like her?" Bella asked with a jealous expression.

"I don't like the person, not the body."

Elsewhere, somewhere else,

Izal slowed down his car as it passed through the simple pale yellow house.

"This is Raihan's house?" ask Rama.

Shica was sure, she didn't have the wrong address. He saw Raihan's motorbike parked in front of the house.

Izal pulled the car a few meters from Raihan's house.

"Why indeed? Brother want to say again, that I don't deserve to be friends with him?"

When Rama answered, the door of the house opened. There was a little girl who was about 6 years old. He came out of the house carrying a small ball in his hand.

"That's who?" Ask Rama.

"Don't you have to go out first to be sure?" Shica answered Rama's question with a question as well.

"Wait here" said Shica, then got out of her car and walked up to the girl.

Rama noticed.

"Hello" said Shica.

The little girl looked up at Shica with a frightened expression.

Shica said again, "You're Raihan's sister, huh? His friend Raihan's brother, you don't have to be afraid."

The little girl looked at Shica's outstretched hand. With a slight hesitation, he accepted Shica's helping hand.

"My name is Shica, what's your name?" Ask Shica.

"Lala" replied the little girl.

"Lala, what a sweet name. Raihan's brother is home?" Ask Shica.

Lala shakes.

Shica frowned, even though there was a Raihan motorbike in front of the house.

"Lala's mother is there, Lala's mother will look for Raihan's sister" Lala said.

"Oh so, huh? Can you see Lala's mother?" Ask Shica.

Lala nodded while pulling Shica's hand to come inside.

Rama took his head out of the car window.

Inside the house,

Shica who was sitting on the sofa spread her gaze around. There was not a single photo of Raihan in the room. Not just a photo of Raihan, no photo at all.

A woman entered the room. Automatic Shica stand.

"No need to stand, Miss." The woman sat opposite Shica.

"Emm, sorry to disturb Brother," said Shica.

"Oh, it's okay." The woman smiled warmly.

"I'm Raihan's friend, is Raihan home?" Ask Shica.

The woman seemed to think for quite a while, "Nothing, if there's anything important, just tell me. I'll tell you later."

"Oh so, yeah. Here I bring Raihan's jacket." Shica gave the pink grocery bag away.

The woman accepted it.

"Yes, I have to go back, thank you." Shica nodded respectfully then passed.

On the way home, Shica looked dreamy.

Noticing the difference in mood to Shica, Rama asked, "Raihan is not at home?"

Shica nodded, "Well, I feel like it's not Raihan's house."

Rama frowned.

"She was like a mysterious person. It's like he's lying." Shica imagined Raihan's face.

"Well, if you feel that way, stay away from it."

-

Raihan entered his house. He noticed there was a pink shopping bag on the sofa. Take that thing. After opening it, it turned out to be his jacket.

The feminine scent immediately revealed her nose. Raihan smiled considering that the scent came from Shica's parfume.

"He's here?" Raihan.

The woman who was talking to Shica approached Raihan, "Miss Mahali came here and gave it."

Raihan nodded, "He told me he was coming, but it's a pity that I'm not home."

-

It was a beautiful morning at Hardiswara High School.

Shica hasn't seen Raihan this morning. Several times the girl saw her watch.

Is he maybe bad luck? Or sick?

Meishy approaches Shica, "Hello, you look anxious, waiting for Raihan, huh?"

Shica nodded, "I'm afraid she's bad luck."

"Have been contacted?" Ask Meishy.

Shica nodded.

Teacher in the first hour of class. All the students immediately sat down.

Raihan hasn't arrived yet.

Fifteen minutes later, Raihan arrived. He knocked on the door.

"Why is it too late, Raihan?" Ask the teacher.

Raihan changed his facial expression mimicking that of a wise man, he replied, "Sorry, sir, but demanding that knowledge knows the word too late."

All the students in the class were holding back laughter, not least Shica who could not bear to see Raihan's ridiculous behavior.

Raihan smiled triumphantly. He sat behind Shica as usual.

-

During the break, Rangga came to IPA-B class and he took Meishy to the physics laboratory.

Shica and Raihan go to the cafeteria. They walk next to each other.

As they passed by the hordes of students, they whispered.

"Look at the girl, you remember, did Regar Mahali ever get close to her? Now he's approaching Raihan."

"Yes, he really has no shame."

"She's beautiful, huh!"

"I don't like him."

Hearing their words, Shica was both upset and hurt. However, he harbored it. Shica turned her eyes the other way.

Maybe some of them no one knows, that Shica is his sister Regar and Rama.

Raihan turned to Shica, "They're just jealous. Don't listen. I'm happy to be with you."

Shica looked at Raihan then smiled. And unexpectedly, the man clasped Shica's hand. Makes the girl nervous.

Both of his cheeks were red.

-

Regar is fiddling with his phone. Faried, one of his friends, approached and whispered.

"Boss, there's new news."

"What news?" Ask Regar flat.

"Your sister is close to a basketball captain." Faried smiled and wanted to see what kind of expression his boss would show.

Reverberated and pulled Faried's tie violently, "Why just say it now?"

Faried was slightly surprised by his boss's sudden rude attitude, "I also just found out earlier."

Why did I not know it? Is it because I'm too busy with Bella?

Why did Rama not know that? Usually he will realize it quickly.

Reverse so remembered with the dark green jacket, the jacket....

Regar got up from his seat and passed out leaving Faried.

-

Rama and the other PMR members were in the PMR room. They are talking relaxed.

The sudden arrival of Regar made Rama and his friends a little surprised.

"Rama, we need to talk."

Rama and Regar leaned outside. Both hands were put in their pants pockets.

"I know, you love Shica, but by supporting her lying to me, it's gonna get her in trouble." Regar said the long sentence flatly.

"I'm sorry, but I can't bear to see my brother who is happy because he found his first love" said Rama slowly.

Regar massaged his temple while snorting, "Do you know, ready that man?"

Rama seemed to think, "I think I've met him. But, I forgot it's when."

Regar brought his face to Rama's ears. Ratar whispered something that made Rama round his eyes.

"I'm going to execute a plan before the man makes Shica fall in love with him." Regularly stared straight with confidence.

Rama nodded.

-

"Then I went to your house, but you weren't home." Shica looked disappointed.

Raihan laughed, "I also regretted going out and not bringing a cell phone. So, I didn't read the chat from you coming home."

You're not lying, are you? Inner Shica.

What's wrong with me? Batin Raihan's.

-

When she gets home, Shica enters the car that picked her up. He was surprised to see Regar driving and Rama sitting next to him.

"Are you allowed to bring a car?" Ask Shica to Regar.

The man did not answer and chose to drive his car out of the parking lot.

Shica looks at Rear and Rama who are not as usual. It was like they were 'cold' to him.

Shica doesn't know why. He tried to think of some possibilities that made the two men angry at him.

Is it possible that Brother Regar already knew about my closeness to Raihan? Or did Rama tell him?

The Regal car stopped. Bella came in and sat down next to Regar. He kissed Regar's lips in front of Rama and Shica.

Both of Shica's eyes widened, but Rama closed Shica's eyes. So, the girl did not see completely.

"Sister, can you control your boyfriend from doing it in front of Shica?" Grouser Rama.

"Why indeed? He's a grown man, too." Bella who replied.

Regar took his car back.

"You take good care of your little sister, even though you like to play with girls, the basis of *******." Bella grieves.

Shica pouting.

"Be quiet" said Regar.

Arriving home, Shica slams the car door and passes to her room. He threw the bag and threw his body into the bed.

"Why are they like that? I'm sorry, Pa. I can't keep my promise to look after them" Shica murmured.

Until the next day, Regar and Rama did not talk much to Shica. They seemed to deliberately want to make Shica confused themselves.

Shica goes to school first by taxi. He's having breakfast first.

Breakfast with the three of them.

Arriving at school, Shica approached Meishy. They talked in chat last night. Today Meishy and Rangga are going to the physics olympics.

"Hopefully you get champion one for the good name of our school."

Meishy smiled, "Hopefully, thank you for it."

Shica nodded.

-

As usual, Raihan and Shica went to the cafeteria.

"Later in the afternoon, may I take you for a walk?" Ask Raihan.

Shica seemed to think, "I have to tell my sister first."

"Oh, you have a sister?" Ask Raihan.

Shica nodded slowly.

"If I may, I'm the one who asked your brother for permission" Raihan said with a warm smile.

Shica flicked her hand, "No, no, I told her. My brother is not a friendly man."

Brother Regar and brother Rama are both being annoying lately.

Raihan smiled, "Alright."

At the same time, Shica sees Regar entering the cafeteria with Bella. They look friendly.

Shica scrunched her forehead, had the embarrassed veins already broken from their necks? Making out at school can get them in trouble.

Raihan turned to look at Shica, "You like Regar Mahali?"

Shica was surprised and immediately shook her head.

Raihan smiled bitterly, "He is indeed handsome and charming."

Angry and annoying, but I do love him.

"You like other people when I like you."

Raihan's words made Shica freeze and managed to make both of Shica's cheeks flushed red.

"Why did I say?" Raihan muttered while covering his mouth.

Shica looked down and played the end of her skirt. He's nervous now.

"Why do you like me?" Ask Shica slowly.

Raihan smiled, "Is there any reason to like someone?"

"Of course."

"Don't duck, I'm in front of you, not on the floor." Raihan shook his hand.

"I'm embarrassed." Shica gurgles.

Raihan laughed, "Do you like me too?"

Shica nodded softly, "A little."

Raihan frowned, "Why a little?"

"Don't ask" said Shica.

Raihan chuckled, "Am I the first person you like?"

Shica nodded again, "Don't ask again."

Raihan was surprised, "Well, I'm so happy."

Rear watched them silently.
