My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)
Like Cats and Rats

Syera looked so relaxed this morning, not as usual who was racing with time. After making a simple breakfast of fried rice that became the mainstay of his breakfast menu, Syera turned on the television waiting for Leo to wake up.

Half a day Syera will relax at home because the lecturer is outside the city for his personal business. However, the lecturer did not forget to give home assignments to his students including Syera.

Syera was really looking forward to the time when she could relax all day without anything bothering her. He needed time to please himself with a hobby that he had rarely even done again.

While chewing a snack Syera laughed a little watching a cartoon series where a cat and mouse never get along and prank each other.

"Why laugh at yourself?"

"Huh? Is Leo awake?" turned his face to Leo who had just walked out of his room.

"Em."

"I laughed at the cartoon, brother. Funny, let alone the rat."

"The mouse is very similar to you, small but irritating" Leo said.

"If the mouse is me, it means Leo's cat's brother, fierce and biting, "Shera does not accept to be likened to a mouse.

"Not only bite, I will also eat and swallow you alive. Be careful from now on."

"Hihihi.." Sherah's laughter.

Hearing that Leo would eat and swallow him like a cat would do to a mouse invites the laughter of Sherah. Leo's style of speech is what Syera has not encountered in the past few days.

"Today Syera didn't go to college, brother. The lecturer was not allowed to enter, so he was given only homework," Syera said.

"I didn't ask" said Leo ketus. "Why suddenly tell me such a thing? Don't you expect me not to interfere in business?"

"I just want to tell Leo. Is that wrong?"

"To tell me just because you saw me and when there was no me, you didn't remember me at all" Leo said.

"Did Leo's brother invite Syera to fight this early in the morning?" tanya Sera became annoyed.

"It's up to you to think of it as what it is."

Still in the clothes that last night Leo sat down sweetly and ate his breakfast. Leo ignored Sera who saw him in annoyance.

"Well if that's it. It's up to Syera what, isn't it?" tanya Syera.

"Em," responds briefly to Syera's question.

Syera approached and stood beside Leo who was enjoying her breakfast. His eyes glared at Leo. Despite realizing that Syera was standing so close to him, Leo remained indifferent and did not bully him.

The fried rice that Syera makes is more important to Leo today than the person who has cooked it.

Kress....

The sound of a packet of potato chips held by Syera. At a glance Leo glanced at the already tightly clenched hands of Syera.

"Yes...! You're crazy, get out!" shouted Leo.

Unexpectedly, Leo screamed in pain when suddenly Syera bit Leo's upper arm quite strongly. Leo grimaced in pain, he was so furious at what Syera had done.

Spa!

Leo had not had time to reply to the actions of Shera, the girl just ran straight to the room and closed the door so strong.

"Sheeraa!" leo shouted to call.

She was terrified when she realized what she was doing. He just didn't expect to dare to do that to Leo, he hoped that Leo wouldn't be as angry as he thought.

Not only did Syera close the door of her room, she also locked it so that Leo could not enter. It is true that the fear of Syera today exceeds her fear when Leo pulled her collar and pushed her down after the death of Pak Bayu a few years ago.

"Sheera!!!" leo shouted again calling.

Leo threw away his original shirt and banged on the door of the room where Syera was already curled up in the blanket.

"Get out!" snapped Leo. "Let's open the door!"

Syera shook her head at Leo's scream, making her even more afraid to come out.

Time and again Leo banged on the door of Syera's room but it was meaningless, the owner insisted not to go out and open the door.

Do you think I'm a fool for lying to me so many times? Okay, let's play for a second!

Leo went into his room and took the spare key of Syera's room.

Clamps!

It was like hearing the door open but she immediately slammed it. He sure locked the door well. Not hearing Leo's voice calling out his name, Syera opened the blanket she used to cover her body, which was frightened by her own actions.

"Geez! Leo k-sister?"

As if in disbelief and feeling hallucinating Syera blinked her eyes. In front of him now stood the tall and sturdy figure of Leo who was grinning at him. Syera thought it was just hallucination because she was so afraid at this time especially the figure she saw only wearing a singlet shirt on the upper body.

"Are you ready to swallow me alive?" gertak Leo awakened Syera to the reality in front of him.

"Sorry, brother. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bite Leo, I didn't mean to bite" Syera said, clenching her hands together.

Slowly Leo drew nearer to the fearful grin of Sera. Leo stuck out his hand pretending like he was going to strangle the neck of the very scared girl. Syera's reflex pulled back her blanket to cover her body.

As much as possible, Leo refrained from laughing.

Enough with one pull Leo managed to pull the blanket from the top of the head of Syera and intend to end his small game.

Unaware Syera grabbed Leo's hand and grabbed him.

"I have no intention, brother, I do not mean to do it" said Syera pleaded. "Again, brother. Syera will be a good and obedient sister as Leo's brother would. I'm gonna do everything Leo wants, so don't be mad, brother."

"really? Then don't ever lie to me, you understand?"

Whatever Leo says is immediately taken by the syera, the important thing is that this morning's problems can be resolved.

"Good! Now let go of my hand" Leo asked.

"Huh? The hand? Meanin?"

Syera was caught unconscious with Leo's hand on her deck. Leo raised both eyebrows, Syera who had not consciously followed where Leo's eyes were headed. Syera lowered her gaze and spontaneously let go of Leo's hand.

The smile on Leo's face expands to notice the face of Syera who becomes clumsy.

Long Leo looked at the face of Syera who was still embarrassed. His hand moved over Syera's head stroking her soft hair, something Leo had long wanted to do. Something that Fandy does often and easily but is difficult for Leo to do.

Leo sat in front of Syera with his hands still stroking the girl's long black hair. Leo drew his face closer to Syera, observing every inch of the face that now succeeded in replacing others from Leo's past.

Leo's hand came down from Syera's head and cupped her left cheek. Leo sighed so strongly that Syera could feel the breath sweeping across her face.

"It seems like I've gone mad" said Leo right before Syera's face.

Shortly after saying so Leo came out and left Syera still down and not moving at all.

Huff...

Syera breathed her breath when Leo was no longer in her room. He immediately locked the door. Syera patted her chest that was difficult to breathe since Leo stroked her hair.

A moment Syera smiled but instantly her face turned sad.
