Seeing Regar with Januaar, Januaar's friends looked confused.

Regar immediately left after driving Januaar home from the police station to base camp.

"Boss, what does Regar do?"

"You okay?"

Januaar replied, "There is no question."

Januaar entered his private room at the base camp. The room was a mess because it was searched by the police.

However, it did not make Januaar change his mind to melt his body onto the sofa. The man turned to the door when he heard a knock.

"Lake in."

Apparently Raihan.

The man came in and sat on the same sofa.

"I've heard it, the news is spreading rapidly. Regar took you from the police station. Did he also apologize to you at your request to Rama?" Raihan's words ended with a question.

"He didn't apologize to me. My position in prison has been replaced by Argaa."

Raihan was surprised, "Police trust Regar?"

"Yeah, they know each other."

Raihan nodded in understanding.

Januaar got up and looked at Raihan seriously, "Whatever happens, you have to bring Shica to me."

The deg!

Raihan surprised. He thought Januaar would forget the past after Regar had helped him just now.

However, Raihan realizes that the mistakes of Regar are inexcusable.

Should Shica bear it?

Raya is also innocent, but she is the one who has to suffer because of Januaar who has problems with Regar.

"It seems that you don't want to do it" Januaar half asked.

Raihan shook his head, "I'll do it, but not now."

"Why?" Januaar asked in an annoyed tone.

"As you can see, now the Mahalis are definitely tightening their guard after finding out someone is trying to kidnap their daughter" Raihan said, looking for a good reason.

Januaar seemed to think, "Your words have a point too."

There was a sound of steps leading to the room. The two men turned their heads, it turned out to be Rayaa.

The poor girl was unable to walk normally after the incident.

He cupped Januaar's face, "I heard from the bodyguard... You're okay, right? Regars don't hurt you?"

Januaar smiled as he shook his head, "No, Brother. I'm fine."

Raya turned to me, "Raihan, I want to talk."

The man nodded.

-

Behind the base camp is a fish pond. Raihan and Rayaa were sitting by the pool. Both of their legs were left to drift into the water.

Some of the fish approached and touched the feet of Raihan and Rayaa with their small mouths.

"Have you made that girl fall in love with you?" Tanya Rayaa's.

Raihan understood, the girl referred to by Rayaa was Shica.

"Yes" answered Raihan.

Rayaa looked at Raihan's face looking straight.

"There is no need to listen to Januaar. You don't have to do that to Shica" said Rayaa.

Raihan looked at him.

Raya averted her eyes, "There's no need to touch her like what Regar has done to me. I'll be jealous."

Both of Raihan's eyebrows raised.

Raya looked back at Raihan, "I love you, Raihan."

Raihan felt nothing when Rayaa said that. Shouldn't he be happy? Meaning his love does not clap one hand like it used to.

Raya hugged Raihan, "I love you, Raihan."

There was no response from Raihan. He was also confused by his own feelings.

Something is wrong.

He only loves one person right now, Shica.

Unable to get an answer, Rayaa looked up at the man.

"I am too." Raihan immediately replied with a lie.

-

Inside the prison, Argaa who had already lost both eyes seemed to be sitting in the corner of the room. There was a bandage covering both eyes.

He heard the sound of footsteps towards the cell he was in. Argaa looked over despite not being able to see.

"Feel comfortable in the new base camp?"

Argaa froze for a moment hearing that voice. Of course he knows her. That's Regar's voice.

"Just sleep here forever. You've been dealing with the wrong man, Argaa." Raihan smiled triumphantly.

Suddenly Argaa laughed loudly, "It doesn't matter that you imprison me, Regar. Remember one thing, the one who hates you is not just me. There will be many people ready to take all your valuables. Whether it's your pride, your power, or your family."

Regularly clenching his hands furiously, "Still able to speak? Whatever you say will never happen."

"Look at it later."

-

According to orders from Ridan Mahali, Shica will go and go home from school with a bodyguard.

None of Shica's friends knew about the abduction. As an influential person, Midan banned all news agencies from spreading the incident. Though everyone in the news agency already knew it, but did not anticipate it quickly.

So, the only ones who knew it were gang kids.

Everything is going better now.

Shica and Raihan's relationship is getting better, as are Rama and Floryn.

Rangga and Meishy are also in a relationship. Some people call them, 'intelligent couples'.

Regar is also focusing on UAS.

The end of the semester break has arrived, the time of two weeks is used as well as possible to rest or vacation.

Shica is not allowed to leave the house, except with the bodyguard.

Then how do I talk to Raihan? They made a video call.

There will be guests coming tonight. The guest was Ridan's business partner.

Ratna told her three children to come down and have dinner with their guests.

But Rama was asleep.

So, Shica and Regar are at dinner. The handsome man with fine hair on his face was sitting next to Regar. He is a typical Westerner, of course because he is from New York.

Ridan said he was 30, but he looked much younger.

"Waahh, this is so good. I really like Indonesian food that is very strong taste," said the handsome guest when finishing his meal.

The friendly man did not awkwardly show his expression. Make the host not feel disinclined to him.

The man whose full name is Felix Nicholas Donovan rubbed Rear's shoulder, "I heard, your son is going to college in New York. He's growing up fast. The last time I met him was 3 years ago and now he looks taller than me."

Regar smiled politely.

"Yes, as the eldest child, Regar should set an example for his younger brother" Ratna added.

Felix laughed, "You could have. Oh yeah, where's Shica going to college?"

The man turned to Shica who was sitting opposite him. The girl snuck up on Felix.

"I haven't thought about it yet" Shica replied with a stiff smile. Ratna rubbed her daughter's hair.

"Ah, yes.it's still a long time to think of college."

Shica just smiled.

"There was a teacher at Hardiswara High School who was my friend. He said Shica's painting was very good and she was a talented student in her class" Felix said.

Midan smiled, "Maybe the teacher overestimated."

"What about your vacation plans?" Ask Felix to Regar and Shica.

"Rest." Rear and Shica answered simultaneously.

Felix smiled, "That's better. Semester two needs more power, right?"

"Yes, there will be a lot of exams" Regar said.

They talk warmly.

-

The next day, the,

Shica woke up early and as usual, she just stayed home. We stayed home and at home this week.

Uninspiring.

Ridan and Ratna went to the office. There is no holiday for both parents.

Regar and Rama go out playing with their friends.

Shica was alone again.

Watching TV and reading a novel are options.

Meishy made many novels on the official website to read. So, his best friend's work can be read by everyone throughout Indonesia.

For a long time he was tired of that unpleasant habit.

In the afternoon, Rama returned home. He's not alone. There was Raihan, Rangga, Meishy, and Floryn coming. They're meeting Shica.

Of course the girl was very happy. He misses his friends.

Tonight, they're roasting corn and sausages in the backyard.

The painstaking Rangga and Meishy were flipping through the sausage and its jangang. Raihan and Shica smeared the two foods with butter and sauce, while Rama and Floryn helped out as best they could.

"It's so lezat." Foryn was the first to eat grilled corn.

Meishy tasted sausage with a lot of sauce, the glasses girl did like spicy food.

"You open a restaurant, you're great. This could be a profitable home business." Raihan teases Rangga and Meishy.

Both men laughed.

The night passed pleasant and warm. They get together and spend a good time.

Rama invites Regar to join, but the man is not interested and chooses to stay in his room.

Rama and Shica take their friends home to the front of the house. When Rangga's car is completely gone, Shica hugs her brother.

"I love Rama."

Rama embraces his sister, "Sister also loves Shica."

Rama saw the existence of Regar passing from the door. Since Ridan slapped Rama, Shica has rarely communicated with Regar or Ridan.

The girl had realized, that Ridan was heavier unfortunately on Regar. And the older brother who had been watching Shica really well, was only Rama.

Regar also noticed it, only that Regar's fickle mood made Shica less comfortable with him.

"Shii." Rama let go of his embrace. He cupped his sister's face.

"What, Brother?"

"You love Rear too, right?"

Shica nodded quickly.

"Now you come to his room and hug him too."

Shica seemed to be thinking, "But...."

"Just because papa is more fierce to us, does not mean we become resentful of Brother Regar, Ca. Brother Regar loves us, Ca."

Shica nodded her head excitedly, "Yes, let me meet her as well."

The girl drew Rama's hand. The two of them knocked on the door of Regar's room impatiently.

The regar who was in the room turned, "Lake in."

Rama and Shica enter. Regar sees Shica who is a little awkward to him. A few weeks of not talking makes them reluctant to greet each other.

"Son Regaaaar." Shica tapped on the floor with the tip of her left foot.

Regar smiled and hugged his little sister without waiting to finish his sentence.

"I'm sorry, the way I show you my attention is different from everyone else's" Regar said.

Shica returned her brother's embrace, "I understand, I love Brother Regar."

Rama smiled.

Shica pulls Rama's hand to embrace. The three of them hugged in the warmth of the brotherhood. Cold nights are warmer.

-

Raihan entered his mansion. He threw his bag onto the sofa then passed it to his room. The man was surprised to see the existence of Rayaa in his room.

"Dearly." Raya stepped up to him. He kissed Raihan's lips for a moment.

"Why can you be here?" Ask Raihan.

Rayaa nodded her head, "I told aunt Salimah that I was your boyfriend and she let me in."

Raihan froze for a moment.

Rayaa pointed to a sketch of Raihan's face on her study desk, "That's great, where did you buy it from?"

Raihan seemed to think, "Someone who gave it to me for free."

"Who?" Tanya Rayaa spirit.

"Hmm, Shica."

The girl's smile faded. There was jealousy and sadness on her beautiful face.

"You guys are so close, huh? I heard from Januaar's friends. That still includes your mission, right?" Rayaa asked as she looked at Raihan's two onyx eyes.

Raihan did not answer.

Rayaa shook Raihan's arm, "You don't really love him, do you? You just love me, right?"

Raihan smiled then nodded his head.

Raya still looked seriously at Raihan, "You're lying! You're in love with her!"

The girl went berserk and threw all the items at Raihan's desk, including a paper depicting a sketch of Raihan's face.

The man tried to calm Rayaa.

"You don't love me anymore because I'm not holy? Yea?! And you love that girl because she has never touched anyone!" Raya cried and beat her own head.

Raihan clutched her body, "I love you, Rayaa."

The girl was crying in Raihan's arms. He knows, Raihan is lying.

Rayaa knew through the sight of her eyes. There was no longer the usual look of love from Raihan's onyx. The two eyes usually looked at Rayaa with gentleness.

All that remains is pity. Raihan only pitied her.

Raihan doesn't love her.
