The true friend is the one who is next to you today, tomorrow, and forever.

-◈◈◈-

Shica did not get any notifications from anyone. No Meishy and Raihan usually send conversation balloons at that hour.

Shica let out a heavy sigh, she threw her body onto the bed and closed both her eyes.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, Shica's phone vibrated signaling a notification came in. Half grumbling, Shica took her phone.

Call from Ridan. Shica rounded her eyes.

He immediately picked up the call, "Hello, Pa?"

"Shica, this afternoon Papa and mama are going home. It's on its way."

Shica surprised. Why did his father just say it now? Why not from yesterday? He hasn't prepared anything yet.

"Shya? You're not happy we're home?"

Shica gasped in surprise, "Ah? Happy, happy, I miss Papa and mama."

"The three of you aren't naughty, are you?"

Shica shook her head, as if Ridan was in front of her, "No, Pa. Brother Regar and brother Rama are also good during Papa and mama outside the city."

"Good, just be careful if Papa comes home, they're both not home."

Shica patted her forehead, geez! Where are they both now, huh?

"Shya? You heard Papa's words, right?"

"Yes, Pa. They're home, sleeping." Shica looks at her watch which shows at 4 o'clock.

"See you at home."

"Yes, Pa."

After the grill ended, Shica immediately walked out of her room. He was looking for a waiter in the house.

"Auntie? Aunty?" Shica went down the stairs in a hurry. A few servants approached him.

"We, Miss?"

"Auntie, please prepare dinner for today, papa and mama go home."

"Good, Miss."

They're going to the kitchen.

Shica looked for the bodyguards ahead. He saw Izal and Garry.

"Bang, please return all the things as before when papa and mama went out of town. Today they're back" Shica said.

"Includes the motor and the car Young master?" Ask Izal.

Shica seemed to be thinking, "Yes too, yeah."

The girl took her phone and called Rama.

"I'll talk to my two brothers, please help" Shica said.

Izal and Garry nodded respectfully then immediately made a move.

"What's Shica doing?" Rama asked, when his call was connected.

"Papa and Mama are going home today, where are you? Return the motor and the car to its original place, or papa will go berserk" Shica grumbled.

"Regar's car is in the garage, I'll be home soon to keep the bike."

"Be careful on the road, brother. Oh yes, brother Regar should also be invited home. You guys should be here before they arrive." Shica climbed the stairs leading to Regar's messy room.

The girl rolled her eyes.

"I don't know where Brother Regar is."

"Later I'll call her." Shica took out the CD from the Regars desk.

"Yes, I'm ending the call, yeah."

"Yes, Brother."

Shica cleaned the room. However, some servants came and took over the job.

Shica continues to Rama's well-groomed room.

"Aaaahhh, hope nothing makes papa angry," muttered Shica.

When everyone in the house was busy, Regar could not be reached by Shica.

"What is the function of an expensive phone, if not used?" Grouser Shica.

He stood in front of his house and looked at the performance of the bodyguards. They're locking the Regar car like it was.

Shortly thereafter, Rama returned with his black sports bike. Shica was a little relieved to see Rama coming.

"Bang Dian, please put my bike inside as well" said Rama while giving the key to Dian.

Rama approaches Shica, "Sister Rear has not returned yet? Can't be contacted?"

"Sell the phone if it can't be contacted." Shica grumbled in annoyance while folding both hands in front of the chest.

Rama chuckled, "Maybe he's busy."

"Year again?" Ask Shica sarcasm.

Rama puts his shoulder around, "I take a bath first, yeah."

Shica nodded.

-

The clock shows at 6, everything is back to where it was. Just waiting for a Regar who has not returned.

Shica and Rama are still trying to reach her. They were shocked when they heard the sound of a car entering the courtyard of the Mahali house.

Their parents have returned. Shica let out a worried breath. While Rama passed up the stairs while trying to contact his brother's friends.

Shica went down the stairs to welcome the arrival of Ridan and Ratna.

Ridan watched every corner of the room when entering his house. Ratna is looking for her daughter's whereabouts. The ones he saw were the servants.

Shica ran over to the two of them. Ratna rounded her eyes looking at Shica.

"Hello, Honey." Ratna hugged her daughter tightly. Midan rubbed Shica's long hair.

"We miss you guys" Ratna said as she peeked at Shica's forehead.

"My brother and I miss my mom and dad, too." Shica pulled the hands of her parents to enter the dining room.

"Today my aunts have been cooking a lot of delicious food for our dinner" Shica said.

Ratna smiled happily.

Rama went down the stairs and rushed to the dining room. He saw his parents and brother sitting neatly.

"Belle Ramah." Ratna called her son. Rama hugged the mother and gave a warm kiss on both of the woman's cheeks.

Rama sat side by side with Shica who immediately whispered asking for the whereabouts of Regar.

The empty seat next to Ridan belonged to Regar.

"Where is your oldest brother?" Ask Ridan.

Shica seemed to think.

"Some, Brother Regar is taking a bath, will be here soon." Rama answered.

Hearing that Shica frowned, she turned to Rama and gave an expression as if asking.

Rama blinked his eyes several times as a code.

Seeing the suspicious behavior of his two children, Ridan frowned.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Ask Ridan.

Shica and Rama turned to Ridan.

"No, Pa." The two answered together.

Unexpectedly, Regar came in casual clothes. He entered the dining room with a fresh expression.

Shica gawked at the arrival of her brother who was out of nowhere.

"Ma, Pa." Regar embraces both his parents. Ratna peeked Regar's cheek. Rear did the same to her mother. Then he sat down next to Midian.

Shica and Rama heaved a sigh of relief.

They also ate dinner quietly.

-

Morning at the Mahali residence.

Ridan told his bodyguards to open the garage to take out Ratar's car and Rama's motorbike.

He will allow his children to use their means of transportation again.

When the bodyguards opened the chains and padlocks that locked his son's car and motorcycle, Ridan saw something strange.

"Whose bike is this?" Ask Ridan to Garry, his new head bodyguard.

Confused by the reasons that must be thrown at the great master Mahali, Garry chose silence.

Feeling that something was wrong, she called her son, "Regar! Ramah!"

Her three children came out of the house in neat uniforms attached to their bodies.

"Who knows whose bike this is? Why is it here?" Ask Ridan.

Rama and Shica look at Rear.

"It was Givar's bike, he left it a few days ago" Regar replied.

"really?" Said Ridan while narrowing his eyes a suspicious sign.

"Yes, if Papa doesn't believe me, Papa can ask him directly." Regain looked serious.

"I'll ask you later" said Ridan while giving the key to Regar and Rama.

"Don't mess around anymore, or I won't give you any more facilities forever" Ridan threatened to enter his car.

Rama and Ratar smiled triumphantly.

"Whom is Shica going?" Ask Rama. Shica pointed at Rama.

Regularly posing in his car, "Don't want to come with me? In the car more comfortable and shady, young girl."

Shica and Rama chuckle at Regar's rare silly moment.

The three of them went to school.

The students who initially disliked Shica, suddenly approached her. Those who initially spoke bad words to her, became good sentences.

"Waahh, the three of them are so sweet."

"I'm glad to see the gentle side of those two handsome men."

"I like to see it."

Shica grieved, yesterday said I was a cheap girl and had no shame. You two-faced girls!

Not without reason, they do that, they also want to be close to Regar and Rama through Shica.

However, Shica paid no heed to them. He showed the charisma of a girl from the Mahali family which made some people dislike him.

Shica behaves like that only to those who have upset her, not to her good friends.

Shica enters her class, she sees Meishy writing in her thick book as usual. That means Meishy is writing a story.

Shica did not want to disturb him.

I don't know, ever since Regar announced that Shica was Regar's sister, Meishy had been in contact with him less often.

At that moment of daydreaming, Raihan approached her.

"Why daydream?" Ask Raihan. Shica shook her head, "No."

Raihan turned his head for a moment to Meishy then refocused his gaze on Shica, "You guys got into a fight?"

Shica spread her shoulders, "Come on, I feel like she's avoiding me for knowing that I'm her sister, Regar."

Raihan smiled, "After I found out that you are the daughter of the Mahali family, it seems like I also have to think twice about approaching you."

"You don't like that either, my friends are just you and Meishy. If you two stay away from me, I don't have any more friends." Shica's tone sounded pitiful.

Raihan looked at Shica meaningfully, why are you so different from Regar and Rama? Are you really plain, or pretending to be innocent?

When Shica looked up at him, Raihan immediately changed his expression to brighten. Otherwise, Shica would no longer talk to him like that time.

"Don't stay away just because I have Mahali's last name." Shica looked at Raihan meaningfully.

For a moment the two stared at each other.

Shica who first turned her eyes off broke eye contact.

"What makes people dislike the Mahali family?" Ask Shica.

Raihan is impassioned, yeah, the Mahali family is too proud and likes to justify any means to get whatever they want.

Does this world belong to the Mahali family?

Not getting an answer, Shica elbowed Raihan's stomach.

"Why dream?"

Raihan turned to Shica, "For me, I feel uncomfortable with someone from an influential family like the Mahali family. Everyone knows your family's reputation."

Including covering up crimes and silencing the public with their money and standing, *******! Batin Raihan's.

"Then don't consider me Mahali's family, just consider me your friend." Shica shook Raihan's stocky arm.

The man saw Shica's hand touching him. She smiles.

"Yes, Shica."

-

Rama is meeting PMR with his members.

"Next Monday there will be an independence ceremony, we must prepare to help students who fainted during the ceremony. Medications and places should be available today. I'll make sure everything's ready for use tomorrow."

While Regar is holding a simulation enrichment for the exam. Although it is still the 1st semester, Hardiswara High School is very concerned about class 12 since semester one to anticipate the value they will get later.

Then... Who's Shica coming home with?

While in the parking lot, Shica sat waiting for her sisters. However, there is no news of either. No notifications at all. Both of them could not be contacted.

Shica sees Meishy approaching her. He was very happy to see his friend waving his hand.

Meishy sat down next to Shica.

"I think you're mad at me" Shica said with a frown.

Meishy looked sad, "I'm sorry, I've been acting like this. I was too scared to be close to you. I shouldn't have behaved like this."

Shica hugged Meishy, "I thought, I'd lose my only friend."

Meishy replies to Shica's embrace, "The only one? Then what's Raihan?"

Silent.

Meishy laughed, "Oh yeah, I forgot. She's your boyfriend."

Shica laughed as she pinched both of Meishy's cheeks, "I'm not her boyfriend."

Meishy chuckled, "Raihan has told me to reflect on you. He made me realize that staying away from you was the wrong choice."

Shica was surprised, she didn't think Raihan would do that for her. Raihan has returned Meishy to her.

Shica said, Although you are strange, you have a good heart, Raihan....

"You're going home alone? Where are your brothers?" Meishy asked as she looked around her while confirming her glasses.

"Maybe they're busy, I'll wait for them here."

"What if they're old?" Grouse Meishy.

Rangga stopped his car in front of the two girls. Shica and Meishy turned to him.

"Meishy, let me drive you home" said Rangga.

"Shica take it too, yeah." Meishy nodded her head at Rangga.

Rangga seemed to think.

Shica immediately shook her hand, "No, no, I'll just go home with my sister."

"I'll call Raihan" Rangga said, looking at Raihan's motorbike still parked there.

"Don't, Ga. don't bother him," forbid Shica.

"The same girlfriend's a hassle, '" grumbled Rangga while taking his cell phone.

Both of Shica's cheeks turned red, especially after Meishy teased her by shaking her arms.

Shortly thereafter, a notification appeared on Shica's phone. The girl immediately opened it, apparently from Raihan.

I'll take you home, wait a minute, yaa. 😏😊

Both of Shica's eyes were rounded.

Raihan, it wasn't me who told Rangga to call you. 😅

It's okay, I'm happy to take you home. 😉

Shica chuckled softly making Rangga and Meishy laugh.

Sorry bothering you. 😅

No, no, you haven't troubled me. I haven't dropped you off, have I? 😂

Shica laughed, "Thank you, Rangga, Meishy, you can leave me. Don't ignore your date."

Meishy direct blushing.

"Yes." Yeah."
