Semester 2 begins.

Students at Hardiswara High School seemed engrossed in talking to let go of the longing with their friends after two weeks without meeting.

There is no schedule on the first day of entry. New schedules are being made, teachers are holding meetings, students active in the organization are also busy preparing the latest organizational structure.

Rama is busy with PMR members, as well as with Floryn in PKS.

Accomplished students were also gathering in the plenary room. They talked about the race in semester 2. Rangga and Meishy are among them.

Shica and Raihan take a walk in the school corridor.

"Everybody is busy, it's a good thing that basketball kids aren't too busy" Raihan said, folding his hands behind his head.

Shica smiled.

"Next week you're going to a painting race, huh? I'm so glad you showed me your talent" Raihan said.

Shica smiled, "That's because my papa wanted it. I actually want to be an ordinary student. I'm tired of having to follow extracurriculars."

"I see, the spirit continues, yaaaa." Raihan rubbed gently on Shica's hair.

Shica smiled as she nodded her head.

"Hey, hey, hey."

Hearing the voice of someone calling, Raihan and Shica turned their heads, apparently one of the teachers.

"Shica, let's go into Sandra's room, you'll learn to paint with her."

Shica and Raihan looked at each other.

"I'll call you later" Raihan said. Shica nodded, "See you later."

"See you."

-

Shica is sitting next to Sandra. They were painting a canvas mounted on a tripod.

Ms. Sandra was painting a beautiful rice field. While Shica paints a human face, a beautiful girl.

Ms. Sandra turned to Shica's canvas, "Drawing humans?"

Shica smiled, "I am thrilled to paint the moving beauty of God's creation."

Ms. Sandra frowned, "But Shica, when the race will be, the theme of the natural beauty of the archipelago."

Shica looked at the scene painted by Sandra's mom. The girl was silent.

"Emmm, I'm not good at painting the scenery, ma'am." Shica looked down inside.

Ms. Sandra rubbed Shica's back gently, "It's okay, I'll teach you, yaa."

Shica is a flagrant bully.

"The race is next week, there's still plenty of time to learn."

Shica practiced daily landscape painting in the form of oil palm plantations. The result is pretty good. It was shown to Sandra's mom.

"Good, Shica. Upgrade again, yeah."

Shica nodded. He looked at his watch which showed at 3 p.m.

She's still at school with Sandra. Shica has already finished 3 canvases.

"This one's for Mom, yeah." Ms. Sandra pointed to a painting of a beautiful girl by Shica.

The girl nodded her head, "May, Mom."

"Now it's half four, you can go home."

Shica smiled as she nodded. The girl grabbed his teacher's hand and kissed him, "Thank you for the guidance, Mom."

"Yes, be careful on the road, yaa."

"Yes, Mom."

Shica passed down the deserted school corridor. There are some students who are still at home in school, among them are students who are active.

Shica called Dian, her bodyguard, "Bang, pick up Shica at the school parking lot, yaa."

"Okay, Miss Shica."

The girl let out a tired sigh, "Thank you, Bang."

End the call. He walked to the cafeteria and bought bread.

After that, he headed to the parking lot, it just so happened that Dian had already arrived. So, Shica didn't have to wait.

Dian immediately did the car when Shica had entered.

"Sister Rama and brother Regar have gone home?" Ask Shica.

"Young master isn't home."

Shica beroh-ria.

While on the way, Shica sees someone falling off the bike. The girl patted Dian on the shoulder.

"Bang, Bang, look something's falling." Shica pointed to the street.

Dian turned his head for a moment without stopping the speed of the car, "The big master told me to pick up Miss, so I have to bring Miss home immediately."

"But, Bang. look at the man for pity. No one helped him" Shica grumbled.

Finally Dian pulled the car over. The two of them came out and approached a man who seemed to be about the same age as Shica. It's just that his SMA uniform is different, indicating that the man is from another SMA.

"Why did you fall?" Shica helped the man stand up. Dian brought the male sports bike to the side of the road. There are serious scratches on the front and the side because it may rub against the road.

The road and the sidewalk were also damaged. It seems like the man fell hard.

The man got up with Shica's help. He looked at Shica with an unreadable look.

"You need to go to the hospital. A few meters from here there's the Danamal hospital," Shica said.

The man nodded his head.

"What's the motor, Miss?" Ask Dian.

"Emm, how, yeah?" Shica was confused as well.

"Yes, Bang Dian took the bike, I took the car and took this man to the hospital and the family."

Dian turned to the man who looked in pain, "Emm, are you sure? Miss's still underage to drive a car."

Shica smiled, "It's okay, pity this guy."

Dian nodded.

Shica took the man into her car and he drove.

During the trip, the two fell silent to each other. The man was deep in thought, Shica was also focusing on driving.

Feeling a little awkward, Shica turned her head for a moment and asked, "You're from Parameswara High School, huh?"

The man nodded his head, "Yes."

"Whose name are you?" Ask Shica.

"Januaar Gallardo."

"Oh, yes."

"Whose name are you?" Ask the man who turned out to be Januaar.

"Call me Shica."

"Shii."

"Yes." Yeah."

Silent.

Suddenly Januaar's stomach rang. Shica chuckled, "You hungry?"

The girl gave the bread she bought in the canteen to Januaar.

"No need," Januaar refused.

"It's okay."

Januaar accepts it, but it is not eaten, only held.

Arriving at the Danamaha hospital, Shica carried Januaar's body inside.

When she runs into one of the nurses, Shica asks, "Suster, Michael's doctor is there?"

"So, come."

With the help of the nurse, Shica takes Januaar to the patient examination room.

The handsome man in white clothes immediately entered the examination room. From the physical characteristics, everyone will know, if the man has a mixture of Indonesian and bule blood.

"Shya?" The handsome doctor greeted Shica.

"Om Mike." Shica kissed the hand of the doctor, Michael Lorenz Danamaha, the son of the owner of the hospital.

"Why your friend?" Ask Michael.

"Fall off the bike" replied Shica.

Michael checked Januaar.

"Oh." Januaar.

Michael chuckled, "Sorry."

Shica laughed, "Om Michael likes to make patients sick."

Shica just shook her head slowly hearing that greeting her father's acquaintance.

"Only ordinary wounds, will also recover." Michael told the nurses to cover the wounds on the knees, forehead, and elbow Januaar with bandages.

"Thank you, Om."

Michael rubbed Shica's hair, "Sama-sama, dear.Say my regards to Mr. Mahali."

Shica smiled, "Ready."

Januaar stared at Shica intensely, pretty as well, worthy of Raihan falling in love with her. He forgot my brother for this girl.

Shica looked at Januaar. The man immediately took his eyes off Shica.

"Later bang Dian will take you," said Shica.

Januaar nodded, "Yes."

Meanwhile, the,

Dian was leaning in the car waiting for Shica. There was a Januaar motorbike beside him as well. A middle-aged man approached him.

"Master, this is my son's motor." The man pointed at the Januaar motor.

"I got a call from a girl named Shica, she said my son entered this hospital?" Ask the man to Dian.

Dian nodded, "Come, help me look inside, I'm worried about my son."

The two men entered the hospital and the family.

Januaar embraces Shica's shoulder which grabs her waist. They walked out of that room.

Shica's paying the hospital bills.

At such a close distance, Januaar could inhale the scent of Shica's body. He could also see the pretty face of the girl.

"Why did you help me? You don't know me" asked Januaar.

"I can't bear to see someone else in trouble" Shica replied.

Januaar grumbled slowly.

"Why?" Ask Shica.

"No."

Suddenly Januaar hugs Shica. The girl was shocked especially after feeling something sharp stab at her waist.

Januaar holds a syringe and injects something into Shica's waist.

"Even though you're beautiful, don't expect me to be gentle."

Shica's gaze faded and she fainted in Januaar's arms.

The man immediately raised Shica's body with a bridal and took her away.

The man ignored the pain in his body from falling off the bike.

Dian and the person who claimed to be her father Januaar were walking around in the corridor of the hospital.

When Dian was off guard, the man hit her nape violently making Dian lose consciousness.

-

Januaar takes the car keys out of Shica's uniform pocket. He put the body inside.

The middle-aged man had come to carry Dian's body and put her in the back seat.

"Take my bike home" said Januaar, throwing his keys at the man, who turned out to be one of his bodyguards.

"CCTV is this hospital you've taken care of?" Ask Januaar.

"Already, sir, they won't open their mouths."

"You go first."

The man nodded his head.

Januaar tied Dian's body. After that, he sat in the steering wheel and attached the seatbelt to Shica's body.

"He'll wake up around..." Januaar sees the watch in Shica's hand, "three more hours."

The man drove his car to Gallardo's house in the woods.

Gallardo was his mother's last name. He didn't use his father's last name. Rayaa also does not use her father's last name.

Why did Januaar's father build a house in the middle of the forest? Of course intentionally for a hiding place.

His father Januaar used the name Gallardo as the identity of the house.

The house had not been used by his father since his mother Januaar died. The house now belongs to Januaar.

The house which is the second base camp belongs to the Januaar gang.

A family full of secrets and fears.

It's getting dark.

Shica's car driven by Januaar began to enter the tree area. Around there were only large and towering trees.

Set them up in a big, luxurious house that stands tall in the middle of the forest. Decorative lights around the house that make it look wake up even at night.

Actually the distance is not too far from the highway, it's just a confusing path. Especially when it's late at night.

When the car stopped in front of the house, several bodyguards were standing guard immediately approached. They open the car door and bring Dian's body tied up.

Januaar takes Shica to an empty room in the house.

The room measuring 4 × 4 meters was only equipped with a wide window on one side. There's nothing inside.

But, there is a small bathroom that doubles with the room.

Januaar leaned Shica's body against the wall. The man crouched down in front of her and patted the girl's cheek violently.

"Wake up."

Januaar pulls Shica's chin, "Wake up lazy girl."

There was no reaction.

Januaar looks at Shica's watch which shows at 8.

"An hour's left."

The man walked out of the room and down the stairs. He passed by Rayaa.

The girl looked worriedly at the bandage on her sister's forehead.

"Are you okay?" Tanya Rayaa cupped her sister's face.

"No, Brother." Januaar rubbed his brother's hands.

"Why do you have to hurt yourself to take it? Why not just drag it?" Gerrutu Rayaa's.

"The girl was with the bodyguard, so I had to be careful to bring her along" Januaar replied.

Rayaa's hands clenched, "I want to see the girl."

"Not now, my sister will hurt him. It's not fun to torture him while sleeping" Januaar said as he pulled Rayaa's hand.

"We'll just have dinner."

Januaar threw Shica's bread into the trash can near the stairs.

-

In the dining room.

There is plenty of food available at the table.

Januaar and Rayaa were enjoying the dinner with great pleasure.

Januaar takes Shica to Rayaa's wishes. Her brother tells Januaar that Raihan does not love her. Raya knows Raihan has loved Shica and it hurts her.

Raya wants Januaar himself to take Shica and torture her. There was no need for Raihan to do that, as there was no way Raihan would hurt his loved ones.

Januaar knows, Shica is a girl who has a soft heart. So, he drops himself on the road for Shica to help him.

Had Shica not helped, she would have taken Shica by force.

As planned, the girl helped him.

After dinner, Rayaa and Januaar talk about something.

"The room does not need to be given a lamp, no need to be draped, no need for a mattress. Just let him sleep on the floor in fear" said Rayaa vengefully.

"Yes" replied Januaar.

"Is he awake?" Tanya Rayaa's.

Januaar spread his shoulders, he got up from the chair, "I'll see him. Brother just sleep."

Rayaa.

Januaar went up the stairs and drank wine from his glass. He opened the door of the room where Shica was.

The girl still fainted in the same position. Januaar squatted in front of him while drinking wine.

"It's still not up yet, but it's half-nine." Januaar doused Shica's hair with her wine.

Her hair, face, and some of her uniform got wet.

"Wake up!" Shouted Januaar.

Free, the girl was still unconscious.

"Okay, I will be waiting for you."
