My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)
But He's Your Brother

Today to reassure and answer curiosity, Syera asked Fandy to send a stock photo that he gave to Fandy through OB.

How surprised Syera because the photo sent is not much different from last night. He believes something must have happened so the food for Fandy changed. Syera has to know what's really going on and she'll prove it tomorrow.

Another with Syera, Fandy actually felt very happy every time he received lunch from the girl. Fandy feels that his relationship with Syera is getting closer and hopes that in the future everything will be as he hoped.

His friendship with Syera has made Fandy who initially loved Syera as a sister turn into the affection that a man has for a woman.

The beautiful appearance, simple life and innocent attitude that Syera has made Fandy like the girl. Syera was the first and last girl of her life.

Anything can happen as long as Syera is with him, that's what Fandy has in his heart.

His life during his time as part of the Suntama family has not been easy. Especially since the departure of Bayu Suntama, his adoptive father. He also realizes that his presence was never expected by Leo, his adoptive brother.

Just remembering the kindness of the late Bayu and Mama Mila who until now loved him so much made Fandy survive in the Suntama family.

After returning home from work Fandy first stop by the house to meet Mama Mila. It has been almost two weeks Fandy did not visit Mama Mila because of his busy life since he was re-appointed as deputy director.

Regarding Syera who now lives in her apartment, she was told in advance. Fandy believes that in the heart of Mama Mila there is a love for Syera but he never showed because of Leo.

As expected, Mama Mila cooked Fandy's favorite meal. Fried duck complete with sambal and some vegetables lalapan. It is with great pleasure that everything was made by Mama Mila with the help of Aunt Retno.

"Back, ma. It seems like there is no match. Even those in five-star luxury restaurants still lose when pitted against the ones you make," said Fandy praised the cuisine of his mother.

"When it's good you have to go home every day so that mama also masakin for you every day. How's it?"

"Later Fandy, yes, ma."

"You and your brother are the same. Always the talk of continuing. Mama is old, if you may want her you live here with mama. The better the rame the better."

"What about the Sherah, ma? Not invited to stay here?"

Mama Mila fell silent at Fandy's question. He doesn't know what to answer.

"Sheera is good, ma. Smart cook, diligent, and most importantly he's a good kid."

"Then you like him, don't you?"

This time it was Fandy's turn to be silent. Didn't expect that Mama Mila would immediately say so clearly.

"Although not the one who gave birth to you but mama knows how you are. You can't lie to your mom."

"Well, what do you think, please? Syera is not Fandy's sister, ma. We also have no blood relation."

"But she's still your sister, son."

"Ma?" Fandy drowned at once upon hearing his mother's words.

"Come, it's better now you continue eating it. We can talk about it another time."

Mama Mila took another piece of fried duck and put it on Fandy's plate. The appetite that had been so great was immediately lost somewhere. But Fandy still forced to eat did not want to make Mama Mila disappointed and sad because he knew all day Mama Mila must have been tired in the kitchen cooking for him.

..........

Unlike the night before, this time Leo drove alone to the restaurant where Syera worked. Leo himself was confused by what he did a few nights after returning home from work. He was like a stalker watching Syera from a distance.

For what and on what basis did Leo do that he did not know at all just that there was more curiosity will Syera in him.

The sound of belching filled the car when the contents of the first can was made Leo without pause even though it did not reduce his hunger at all. Even when the contents of the can of soft drinks that another Leo drank still did not reduce his hunger. The canned drink actually slowly makes Leo feel pain in his stomach.

Leo could not hold his hunger anymore. He took out his clothes and ordered food through the app. No need for long the food ordered arrived and immediately eaten by Leo who was almost starving to death.

"Squeaky. What is so hard about nyebrang anyway? The behavior of the rich is indeed strange," grumbled a young man who had just delivered Leo's order.

How not to be upset, the food that Leo ordered came from a restaurant across the street where he is now. Yeah, the restaurant where Syera works and Leo's been watching for nothing.

"Nob."

While continuing to observe Syera, Leo's hand did not stop bribing food into his mouth. He did not expect that the food from the restaurant would taste so good. Not a big or luxurious restaurant but it feels okay to fight with food in star hotels.

Perhaps because of the satiety as he leaned his body into the driver's seat and closed his eyes to relax a little, he unconsciously fell asleep.

The sound of a cellphone that had been constantly ringing finally made Leo wake up from his sleep. He stretched his head, turning left and right.

Leo's gaze returned to the building across the street. Spontaneously he scrunched his forehead when he saw the building was already quiet with the door that was also closed.

Leo turned on his phone and saw there were several calls and messages from several different people and one of them was Mila, his mother.

Not to mention opening the contents of his mother's message Leo's eyes rounded to see the time on the phone showed.

"Dad... Goddamn bum!" aspersons Leo.

Soon Leo started his car and turned back to the apartment to go home. He was so upset and condemned his stupidity for being able to fall asleep long enough earlier. Though he only felt asleep for a while to relax his body but it turned out that it was almost ten at night.

As he remembered when he ordered the food was still around seven o'clock and it turned out when he woke up the restaurant was closed because it was finished operating.

Walking in a hurry while loosening his tie Leo headed for the elevator that someone had just entered and was about to close. Fortunately, his long footsteps and the speed of his hands managed to hold the elevator door so that he could enter and not have to wait for the next elevator.

"Syall! Goddamn bum!"

Again Leo cursed while his hands violently took off his tie and opened one button on the top of his white shirt while the suit he wore all day was removed and left in the car.

Busy cursing and grumbling make Leo who had just entered the elevator did not realize if someone who was now standing behind him held back fear and nervous.

Since getting into the elevator Leo did not notice if the person who was with him in the elevator was Shera. Understandably Syera wears a sweater and uses her head covering.

He rolled the tie he was wearing and put it in his pants pocket. Just then Leo's phone again got a message until when he pulled out his phone tie that had not entered properly into the pocket was dropped.

Leo looked down to take his tie. His eyes caught a pair of shoes worn by someone standing behind him.

Smiling a smile, Leo can guess the price of the shoe the person is wearing. Cheap and certainly not over a hundred thousand rupiah. Not to insult but today it is very rare for a woman to wear something cheap just to maintain appearance.

Suddenly Leo felt his stomach ache as if in a swirl until cold sweat flooded his body. The longer Leo's face turned pale, he squeezed the aching abdomen until he finally crouched down and dropped his body leaning against the elevator wall.

Seeing that the Shera panicked. Leo's pale face scared him of something happening, not to mention that he saw the man biting his lower lip while squeezing his stomach as if holding something back.

Pause!

When going to the floor where they live, the elevator suddenly stopped and made Syera even more panicked.

"Master... Mr Leo?"
