"Well, I'll take you home, sir" Zia replied in response to Shane's request.
Shane smiled happily.
"May I also take you, sir?" sahut Zevana interrupted.
Making Shane and Zia turn right away.
Not yet going to answer, Shane immediately replied.
"Don't." said Shane, forbidding Zevana from joining.
Zia looked back in wonder, and so did Zevana.
"Why??Why can't I take you, sir?" asked Zevana in a spoiled tone.
"Because it's better your sister.Come." replied Shane immediately invited Zia to be delivered home.
Zevana was just looking annoyed by Shane's refusal to allow himself to want to also drive him home.Since he also felt curious about where and how the state of Shane's residence.
On the way, Zia was just silent while looking at the outside view from the window of the taxi car.Once Shane also noticed Zia since then just silent.
"Are you alone with your sister?" shane asked open the topic of conversation.
Zia turned and looked in wonder. "How do you know?" ask Zia curiously.
"Euh..That's just me guessing." replied Shane who turned out to be just asking.
"Well, we only live together" Zia replied honestly.
"Where are your parents?" shane asked who wanted to know.
"Are you now a person who wants to know the privacy of others' lives?"asked Zia quipped Shane.
Shane immediately made a shy smile. "I'm sorry, if I'm presumptuous to ask that question.But, from now on can we be friends?" shane asked to switch the conversation.
"Friends?" ask Zia to make sure.
"Yes, that's also if you don't mind" Shane said.
"It seems not."
"Why?" ask Shane curiously.
"Because we are like heaven and earth, you are in the sky and I am on earth, there is no way a person like you would want to be friends with me who is poor" explained Zia who felt self-conscious.
Shane was immediately silent.
"In that case, I apologize for my previous attitude" Shane said.
It immediately surprised Zia. "Huh?" exciting Zia.
"You must think it's very strange, because I suddenly said sorry to you, because I just realized my mistake before" said Shane at length.
"Is it because I helped you?" ask Zia.
"Perhaps, because of that I just realized that everything I did to you has been very excessive" Shane replied while nodding.
Zia immediately let out a long breath. "But it seems like I can still be friends with you sir.You will only be humiliated if you are friends with people who are different circles with me." said Zia who feels inferior and does not deserve to accept friendship with Shane.And he did not want to believe just like that with an apology from Shane.
He was afraid that Shane was just the origin of talking and did not seriously want to apologize to him.And used himself by being trapped by his lies.

Shane got off the taxi, while Zia chose to stay in the taxi.
"Why don't you come down?" ask Shane.
"I'm just taking you home, so there's no need to come down.I'll go straight home.And hope you get well soon." said Zia who refused to get off the taxi.
But Shane instead forces Zia to descend and pulls her hand into her residence.
"Hey..You want what??Why are you forcing me to come down too?" asked Zia who was shocked by Shane's actions.
"How can you just take me. I need to introduce you to my family" Shane said as he pulled Zia's hand toward the door.
"But I don't want to..Let go of me, sir.!" said Zia who asked to be released, but Shane actually did not care about Zia's orders.
Upon entering his residence, Shane was immediately greeted by his mother Velyn.
"Shane, you've come home.Why with your face and body?Why full of wounds?" velyn asked immediately panicked when he saw Shane's condition which was full of wounds and covered by bandages.
"I'm fine ma." replied Shane.
"Who is this girl??" velyn asked directly towards Zia who was standing behind Shane while bowing her head.
Velyn looked at Zia with a friendly smile.
"Oh, she is Zia.She's my friend ma." replied Shane introducing Zia to his mother Velyn.
"Good night madam, I'm sorry to interrupt your time." said Zia politely and fearfully.
"Good night sweet girl.Come come with Aunt, we sit in the middle room only.Auntie please make tea for our guests yes " velyn said immediately welcomed Zia with pleasure and embrace Zia invite her to the middle room.Zia would not want to obey Velyn's invitation.Because it feels bad to refuse Velyn's hospitality just like that.
While Shane was just ignored without feeling cared for again with his condition.
And at the same time Arsen also came out of the room and approached Shane with a cold gaze.Making Shane immediately bowed stiffly and did not dare to look at Arsen.
"Just a few hours you're out, your condition has been battered??Do you want to be a thug now?or are you a victim of thugs?" tanya Arsen quipped on Shane's condition.
Shane chooses to keep quiet and no longer wants to answer anything that Arsen said his father.
"Who's the girl?Is she your boyfriend?" ask Arsen to know.
"Only friends have helped me" replied Shane.
"If you like it and want us to approve it.According to what you want.The rest of you are free to choose anyone who will be your choice." Arsen reminded Shane.
Shane preferred to nod and this time obeyed what the father wanted.Either why since Zia helped him, Shane also slowly wanted to change and succumb to what he did not want before.
While Velyn looked so happy to welcome the arrival of Zia who was actually still unfamiliar to him.But seeing the appearance of Zia who looks simple, she actually immediately felt like Zia.Given her who was once also very simple appearance.
"How old are you, son?" velyn asked in curiosity.
"My age is only 20 years old madam" Velyn replied in a stiff tone.
"Oh it turns out you're still very young.How do you know Shane?Though I don't know if Shane has a girl friend" said Velyn curious.
"I..And Mr. Shane just knew me today" Zia told Velyn.
