Risa is not Zeline
Chapter 25

Risa looked at the people in the room one by one. Then smiled at a man who was not a member of his family and passed by the man.

"How's mom doing?" Tanya Risa stood beside the woman who had given birth to her, clasping her still-weak-looking hand.

The woman smiled, reached out and rubbed Risa's hair full of tenderness.

"Mom's fine. Why are you coming straight here, son? You were just resting at home."

"Risa's resting on the train, Risa's kangen with mom, so Risa wants to come quickly here."

Risa looked up as someone gave her a chair.

"Thank you" Risa said to her sister.

"Mbak mas same mas go home, said Aga you guys have been guarding the mother from last night, so today Risa is guarding the mother," added Risa who pityed to see the tired face of her sister and sister-in-law.

The two looked at each other and then nodded.

"Yes already then we go home first, if there is anything contact mbak or mas yes," said Rian Risa's sister-in-law.

"Yes, um."

Risa then kissed the back of Raina and Rian's hands, as well as Aga who had just been silent.

"We go home first, ma'am" said Raina to her mother, who was taken by the middle-aged woman.

Risa then sat down while confirming the blanket covering her mother's body.

"Mbak hasn't eaten yet, has he? Buy food first."

Risa looked over and nodded.

"Mom rest again."

Risa's mother smiled and nodded, Risa grasped her mother's hand with two hands while rubbing it gently until soon Risa's mother returned to sleep.

"Thank you Ar, I'd like to accompany you too."

The man who had been silent looked at Risa who was now looking at her with a smile.

"You been here a long time? If you want to go home, go home, it's okay."

"No, I'm here, accompanying your mother."

Risa just kept quiet to let the man stay there.

"Same…" 

The man called Risa breaking the silence between them.

"Yes." Yeah."

"You sure don't want to consider…"

"We'll talk about Ar later, but not here."

"All right."

Both are now both silent, until soon the door opens and Aga, Risa's sister carries a plastic bag filled with food.

"Sister Ardan is still here?"

"Ah yes Ga, this is coming back."

"Breakfast first together," said Risa who now got up then took a plastic bag in Aga's hand, then sat on the carpet presented by Aga

"Ah yes," Ardan joined the two brothers.

They start eating the food Aga buys, they eat while chatting, although the chatter is dominated by Risa and her sister, while Ardan only listens occasionally if the question is addressed to him.

"You're not going home, sir?" 

Zhen who had chosen to return to the office and was now busy with his work, pausing his activities, looked at Bima who was now opening the door of his room.

Bima looked at Zhen in doubt, actually he felt strange with his boss, this afternoon his boss looked eager to hurry back and handed some work to him, his boss, and then Zhen just returned to the office even seemed reluctant to go home.

"Go home Bim! Take it easy I won't cut your pay."

"Okay sir, then excuse me."

Zhen simply nodded, and as soon as the door closed. The shadows where he spent time with Zeline made him smile to himself, but Zhen suddenly covered his face with both palms, as he felt like something was missing from him. Especially when he remembered Zeline who somehow Zhen felt if his sister was like a different person.

"What exactly happened?" Zhen pursed his forehead which suddenly felt dizzy.

Zhen picked up his phone and asked the driver who usually drove his sister anywhere, where Zeline went this afternoon. 

"There's nothing strange, just how I feel, but wait.last time Zeze was allergic but why was that…"

Zhen's phone suddenly rang, Zeze's name written on his phone screen, Zhen then shifted the green icon, sticking the phone in his ear.

"Hello.."

"Hello brother anywhere, why did Zeze at home brother went instead? Didn't brother promise to always accompany Zeze again, but where's brother's promise?"

Unfinished with his words, zeline cut out Zhen's words with a series of questions.

"Abang! You heard Zeze talking, right?" The girl's voice was slightly yelling perhaps feeling annoyed that Zhen was just silent.

"Yes, brother bertar again went home," after saying that, Zhen cut off the call just like that, making the person across the phone snort annoyed.

"What is an ordinary brother like this?" Zeline asked while staring at the screen of her phone which is now back with a photo of her.

Bi Irma turned her head to look at Zeline, as she seemed to be hearing Zeline say.

"Why Non?"

"It's okay" he said, then left the dining room.

Zeline then walked to the living room sofa, feeling bored by the girl reaching for her phone and then contacted Evan and Rio, asking him to mabar, which of course was immediately approved by both of them who were also joining. The two even proposed coming to Zeline's house, playing at the girl's house instead of having to be on a cell phone. Surely Zeline is happy, she has also missed her two best friends after a week of not meeting or not communicating at all.

"Auntie! Irma!" Shouted Zeline while playing a mobile phone while waiting for the arrival of her two best friends.

From the back of the middle-aged woman, running in a hurry, approached Zeline immediately.

"Yes Non."

"Prepare a lot of snacks, then bring it here, hmm don't forget the same drink as well," Zeline ordered without staring at Bi Irma, just focus on her phone.

"Good Non. Anything else?"

"It used to be bi, later Rio same Evan want to come the problem."

Bi Irma suddenly hesitated, the last time her Master seemed upset when Zeline's friends came, let alone this was already at 9 pm, it could be, the brothers would return to fight.

"Auntie! Zeline calls disperse bi Irma daydreams.

"Yes Non."

"Auntie can prepare now, and then Rio and Evan come."

"I.iya non," bi Irma would open her voice again but finally undo it, the middle-aged woman, then went to the kitchen to prepare what Zeline had asked for.

Zeline smiled excitedly, immediately got up from her seat, as soon as she heard the bell ringing. He was sure that at this time the two friends were coming. And rightly guessed, once opened the door, it appears two men who now grinned and then clashed with each other, scrambling to get into the house of Zeline.

"Tumben really you ngajak us mabar gini nights, after this week me and Rio who always ngajak first. Do not-don't.the devil who possessed you, has already left again," said Evan who immediately felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Why? You guys don't want to? Yes, it's back again, hmm even though aunt will prepare a lot of food."

"Who we don't want, obviously want dong, yes Yo," Evan asked Rio's support, if the matter of food the two would be compact.

"Yes right."

"Yes, it has started!" Take Zeline because she doesn't want to waste a lot of time.

The three were then engrossed in playing the game, until they did not realize that footsteps were now approaching. 

Bi Irma who was going to deliver snacks even stopped when she saw the arrival of Zhen especially with the flat face of the man.
