The Smile You Gave Me
Chapter 5 ~ A Cold Heart

"You?" boy said as Amanda stood in front of them. But the teenage boy had to swallow a sense of disappointment when Amanda just ignored him and instead looked at Briel with a fixed.

"Sister, isn't brother papa?" ask Amanda while touching the corner of the lips of the brother who looks bloody. But the attention was not heeded Gabriel, the man even brushed off the hand of the younger brother.

"What are you doing here?" ask the teenager with a pressing tone. He really did not accept his innocent sister to a place like this and surrounded by people like this.

"I'm following Brother," Amanda replied with her flat face. He looked up and looked at Briel with his round eyes. Making Boy standing right next to Briel again fester.

"Ck, let's go home!" Briel stared intently at the sister, then grabbed Amanda by the wrist and pulled her away.

"Hey, where are you going?" tanya Boy pulled the other hand. Boy's touch makes Amanda aware of the man's presence.

"You?" said the girl turned to look at Boy.

"Yes, this is me. Look, we meet again even less than 6 hours. Isn't that called a soul mate?" said Boy while smiling widely, not realizing that his words made Devan wide open.

While Briel stared at Boy. Unknowingly he tightened his grip on the hand of the younger brother. But Amanda did not protest at all, despite feeling sick but the girl also did not understand how she had to react.

"Hey .. release!" tell Briel in a cold tone. Even the young man seemed to not look at Boy who is his best friend again, as long as the younger brother is safe.

Boy looked at Briel with a look of disbelief. Is it true that this girl is the boyfriend of her cold and stiff best friend?

"What's up, Bro? Why are you acting like I'm gonna eat this girl?" tanya Boy while showing a witty face.

"Get rid of that stinking stare of yours, Boy Listio!" furious Briel. He did not like it when Boy looked at his little brother full of cravings.

"Well, don't tell me this girl is your boyfriend?" asked Boy who was now looking at Briel with a serious look. A question that he very much expected the answer to was NO. So did Devan, the man was also curious about Briel's answer.

"She's my sister" replied Amanda who had been silent since seeing their interaction.

"Sister? So he's the brother you said was that bitch?" timpal Devan who made Amanda turn to look at the brother full of questions.

"Am I a bitch?" ask the girl plain.

"Yes, that sucks. That's why let's go home!" briel said finally after a moment of silence. His hand pulled his sister's wrist to follow in his footsteps.

But the handle of Boy still he did not escape. So that Amanda was again involved in an interesting attraction by the two men.

"Take off my brother, Boy!" tell Briel in a furious tone. Boy was relaxed, though. The young man smiled widely displaying a row of neat-looking white teeth.

"I don't know your name yet" Boy told Amanda. Heedless of Gabriel's furious face.

"I? My name ...."

"You don't need to know what his name is. Come with brother!" Briel brushed off Boy's hand that was still holding his sister's arm. Then take Amanda by the road to her bike. Leaving Boy who was still staring with his bright smile.

"You've been spotted, refrigerator girl," the inner Boy who was staring at Amanda's passing also turned to him.

"Boss!" it was Dennis's strangulation that brought Boy to his senses. The man immediately heads for them and helps Dennis and Devan to take the chairman to a safer place.

Amanda looked at the older sister who dropped her off in front of their housing complex.

"You can go in by yourself, right?" asked Gabriel in a flat tone.

"Aren't you going in?" Amanda asked back. It's getting late, where else does Gabriel think the girl is going.

"No. Hurry in before you get caught by the security guard!"

"Hurry, hurry!" Gabriel inevitably got off his bike and pushed his sister to bend over and pass through the closed portal.

"Sister."

"Who's there?" A shout made the two brothers glare and look at each other.

...

"What do you really want, huh? Not only did you not want to hear the words of mom and dad at all, now you even brought your obedient sister to behave like you. Mama knows you've never been obedient, but isn't it enough that you let us down? Why bring Amanda? Don't make him the same as you, Briel!" peekkik Reina Tandra on her eldest child. The woman was inexhaustible with this mind of her son.

Hadi stared at Gabriel. Although he said nothing, Briel certainly knew that the father's anger was no less than the mother's. So all he could do was shut up and accept all the rage from his parents.

"Ma, it wasn't my sister who asked me out. I'm the one who quietly followed my sister, I ..," said Amanda who was cut off when her father raised his hand as if asking everything to be quiet.

The man in his 40s finally approached his wife and daughter's son after a long period of silence. And if Papa Hadi has spoken up, then Mama Reina was time to shut up.

"Ma, take Amanda back to her room!" tell the head of the family to look at the wife.

"No, I ...."

"Don't argue with papa!"

"Darling, let's go back to the room!"

"But, Ma. Sister ...."

"Your brother's gonna be okay, okay? We leave them to talk to each other as fellow men." Reina stroked her two daughters hands, giving her understanding very gently. It can be clearly seen that her treatment of her daughter's son was very lame.

Amanda was still reluctant, her head turned to look only at the sister who gave her a code to obey. Eventually, he returned to the top floor with his mother.

After being left alone, Papa Hadi looked intently at the son. "Give papa the keys to your bike!" tell the man with an indisputable look in the eye.

"From now on you are no longer allowed to drive your own motorbike. Where will a driver drive you. Give me the keys!"

"Pa," replied Briel with a face that was clear. Really he got this bike with great difficulty begging at that time.

"Quick give! Papa Nyesel has bought you a motor that in fact makes your behavior more ambiguous."

Briel tightly grasped the key of the motor within his grasp. It was hard to leave that to my father. But seeing the gaze of Papa Hadi who was getting pressurized made him slowly raise his hand without waiting was already taken by force by the father.

"Go back to your room! From now on you can't go out without permission from your mom or dad. Especially by bringing your sister!" papa Hadi said before moving on and leaving Briel whose eyes had turned red.

The young man eventually returned to the room, went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Letting the water flow soaked his body, no matter though it was already midnight and the cold pierced into the bones.

Whether crying or not, but he rubbed his hair violently. His eyes were closed enjoying the water flowing throughout his body.

On the other hand, Boy who just arrived home also had to face the father who turned out to have just returned home too. The young man lowered his head, looking resigned if papa Yanuar would nag him like a typical parent.

"Clean up whatever you want to bring. Tomorrow you must join papa on a business trip abroad. From now on papa will teach you little by little to be ready to replace papa lead the company in the future."

Boy looked up, looking at the father in confusion.

"Just calm down, we'll be back before the school holidays are over." Papa Yanuar rubbed the child's shoulder, then left Boy who was still looking at him in disbelief. He thought he would be scolded for coming home at night, but in fact the father did not even discuss at all.

Devan was greeted with emptiness. Her parents told her they were going out of town for a few days to volunteer. He was used to it, but even though he was used to it there was still a sense of tightness in the chest.
