“Don't say you as Xanderson in the future will also behave like your two brothers are Afro.” Bryan who was beside Afro said slowly while chuckling little to see Afro did not deny Bryan's words, instead smiling with a distant look, remembering the figure of his lover who is not with him now.
“Either curse or blessing, it seems like it's been a flesh rage on all the men of Xanderson descent. To be sure, whoever the woman who will accompany us, she will be the happiest woman, because we Xanderson will love and protect them even with our lives.”.
“Wah...”.
“Cie...”.
“Suit... suit...”.
Afro words that turned out to be noticed by the others immediately made them cheer immediately with a seductive tone, even James seemed to whistle immediately while pointing his thumbs towards Afro because he strongly agreed with the napa said by Afro.
The warmth that always happens when they meet, although sometimes spiced with debate or nonsense and jokes, makes them all feel happy to get a chance to gather like this.
Tira who saw their jokes and familiarity would not want to join in laughing amusedly and it just made him suddenly miss the figure of Ernest, who was just a little, moreover, his memory returned to how warm the touch of Ernest's lips was in his apartment.
If this continues, how can I calm down and be ready to meet Ernest again? Whenever I think of her, my chest is not well controlled. When I'm ready, I want to get my business done with Ernest.
Tira moaned inwardly as she held her chest that was again beating violently when she recalled Ernest's figure.
I really miss Ernest, when we just parted ways, not even tonight. When my chest always rebelled like this, when was I ready to meet Ernest again?
Tira again said inwardly, a little daydreaming until Elenora's hand grabbed her wrist, and invited her to enjoy their dinner.

“If you must stay on campus today, let Erich drop you off because Ernest is not here now.” The words of Alvero in the middle of their breakfast together with the others made Tira who had almost put a food spoon into her mouth, stopping the movement of her hands in the air, which was, and put back the spoon that still contains soup into the bowl in front of him.
How can I go between by Erich? It would have been really bad for me if I had been ushered in by Erich whose coldness was already like an iceberg. Moreover, his face was really like a betel in half with Ernest.
Tira said inwardly as she looked towards Alvero who was serious about ordering Erich to escort Tira.
“No need to bother like that Kak.” In a hurry, Tira instantly prevented Alvero from making her phone call with Erich.
“Why?” Alvero asked briefly.
“I can drive myself...”.
“Indeed who doubts your ability to drive? I won't let you go alone without an escort, because there's someone who's after you. If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to be responsible to your papa?” Alvero's words made Elenora who happened to hear Alvero's words immediately turn to the two of them.
Well... about what can I say to make Brother Alvero not make Erich drive me?
Tira said inwardly and tried to quickly think of a way to avoid Alvero's plan.
“Kak, no, I know that Ernest is disguised as a student, if anyone sees Erich as Ernest's twin brother driving me to campus, I'm sure it will make a campus scene, especially this morning Ernest there is a lecture schedule as well. And it's not good for Ernest's disguise nor me in the future.” Tira's words made Alvero slightly frown.
Alvero was astonished by Tira's refusal due to the info last night that Erich had given about something suspicious between Ernest and Tira after Erich exchanged messages with Ernest, who was not involved in the incident, which to him was also a little strange acting last night.
But after Alvero thought that what Tira said was true, he finally let out a long sigh.
“Then let the others take you. If you don't feel comfortable with my bodyguard, you call Steven or Edi. Ask them to follow you so that the next escort can be replaced by them.” Eventually Alvero's decision leaves Tira only able to nod her head, because for her, it's much better than having Erich drive her off to campus.
“Is there anything bad that is going on with Tira? Why would he need such a tight escort?” Elenora immediately whispered softly as Alvero and Tira finished talking about the matter of the bodyguard for Tira.
Elenora's question made Deanda tell her about what happened briefly to Elenora while whispering, not wanting the story to make others feel worried and disturb the cheerful atmosphere this morning at the dinner table.

“Thank you” Before getting out of the car that accidentally just stopped in front of the campus gate, Tira expressed his gratitude to Steven and Edi.
“Daughter, should we not take the Princess to the campus so that we can meet with Mr Ernest? You are worried that suddenly the terrorist acted while we are not near Princess.” Edi said with a serious eye toward Tira who had insisted that they only drive up the campus gate so as not to look flashy.
