Bugs!
“Ah! Artha! What are you doing?” Khumaira screeched to see Artha hitting Alden in the face.
Both of Artha's parents ran up the stairs in a hurry. Their faces were reddened, not out of shame but out of emotions that overflowed like floodwaters. They don't know why Artha hit Alden.
“Basic brat! You realize what you're doing right now, huh! You disappoint papa, Ar,” said Hendry in a high tone.
The baritone's voice echoed in every room. Artha became the nagging material of both parents, while Alden just sat on the floor holding his lips which slightly released a thick red liquid. The man grinned at Artha from behind their parents.
Goddamnit! Goddamn bum! You're really trash. Just try to touch the Flower, I'll make sure they all know your rottenness all along.
Artha did not listen to the babbling of her parents. Only anger that reigns over the heart and emotions must be held to their full might when they see Alden's smile. If only he could reveal the true nature of the brother known as prince alim. However, it was not something that was easy as Alden did not leave a bad impression at all to others.
Only Artha and Artha have been months of Alden's bad attitude all along. Artha's friends no one believed her when she told him about Alden's attitude towards her. They thought, Artha is just jealous because Alden has always been the center of attention of many people including both parents.
“You heard, didn't?” hendry asked, hitting Artha on the back.
“Hem,” replied Artha as she passed away and went into the room.
“Come to the middle room. Let mama treat your wounds,” said Khumaira attentively.
Artha heard from behind the door. Heavy breathing continues to be exhaled many times. All this time he was able to be calm in the face of provocation from his brother, but he lost his mind just because Alden called Flowers.
His body rolled down and sat on the floor, leaning against the door leaf. Both knees bent. Artha hid her face between her bent knees.
Maybe it's karma because I always hurt other people's hearts, but it's all because Alden ordered it. He should have been the one to go through all this pain, not me.
A glimpse of what happened in the past comes back. Artha who was still sitting in High School suddenly abused one of the students in her class. Not only did she take off her uniform, Artha also ordered her boyfriend to record it.
The tape was sent to her brother. Indeed, Artha did nothing but undress. However, it was enough to get him expelled from school.
In three years of high school, Artha had to change schools many times. It was all because of Alden. When Artha graduated from school, Alden went abroad to continue his studies while working at a large company. No one knows the name of the company because Alden hid his life while abroad.
During college, only Elena was the listener of all her complaints. They are familiar as friends, then rise to become friends. In the second semester, Alden suddenly called and ordered Artha to leave the economics faculty he had chosen.
“I did everything you wanted all this time, but I won't budge again. I'll look for evidence that can make everyone know your depravity,” Artha murmured with teeth grinding.

Bunga contacted Artha and invited her to meet. However, the man was lazy to do anything. He just rolled around on his bed.
Not getting a response, Bunga was forced to go to Hendry's house. Alden was the first to welcome him. The flower felt strange to see the bruise near the man's lips.
Isn't he never fighting said aunty? Why is his face hurt like that?
The flower did not notice his steps until he hit the edge of the table leg. Luckily no one was watching, he thought. However, it turned out that Artha was looking closely at the stairs.
Seeing the Flower going up the stairs, he immediately went into the room. Artha was hungry and about to eat breakfast, but she abandoned her intentions because of Flowers. He pretended to be sleeping in a lying position facing the window.
“Ar ... I'm in, yes?” ask the flower while knocking on the door.
As usual, the middle-aged woman was changing the flowers inside the vase. They change fresh flowers every day. Aside from being a hobby, he did so because Alden was very fond of flowers.
“Didn't eat anything, Tan? Is she sick?” ask Flowers.
“Come,” concluded Khumaira.
The flower felt that something was hidden by the woman. Her usual cheerful face now looked a little moody. The girl thought she was angry that Artha came home drunk yesterday morning.
Huh .. basic brondong labile. They should be angry. It should be aware of its own mistakes, not even going on a hunger strike like this.
Flower twisting door knob. He stepped in carefully. His eyes went around looking for Artha's whereabouts. The flower went deeper and found the man lying on his back.
“I know you didn't sleep,” Bunga said as he slammed his butt next to Artha.
“Why can you know?” artha asked with both eyes wide.
“Actually just nebak. It turns out to be true,” replied Bunga while grabbing the eye-piercing child's hair.
“Ch ... shit,” grumbled Artha who felt cheated.
The flower chuckles at Artha's pursed lips. The girl continued to blink her eyes due to the pain caused by the pierced hair earlier. In the male's view, the girl looked like she was teasing.
“Genit,” god Artha.
“Hah? Who's flirty?”
“You, lah. Tuh, flickered her eyes,” as good as Artha while laughing amusedly.
“My eyes are sore, tau. As if to say tempting,” grumbled Flowers with pursed lips.
Artha pulled the girl's waist until their bodies docked. The flower swallows the saliva with a rapidly beating heart. So fast, he was sure the man must have heard the sound of his heart beating.
“Do not misunderstand. I want to help blow your eyes. Open your eyes wide,” said Artha calmly.
Fucking playboy. He could have spoken so calmly at a time like this.
The flower opened its eyes wide at Artha's command. Their eyes clashed with a very thin distance. Flowers can smell perfume on Artha's neck. The gentle scent of musk made the Flower close its eyes while smiling.
The taste is very comfortable and soothing. It turns out that Artha likes a gentle masculine perfume like this.
“Why even crumple again, anyway?” ask Artha.
Flowers instantly turned. He forgot because of the smell of the man's perfume. It was so embarrassing that the girl pulled away from Artha.
“Don't stay away from me ..” whispered Artha while pulling the girl into her arms. “I like you.”
