CHAPTER 36

Time Jun's.

Once in place, for a moment they both stared at each other, maybe confused what game they were going to play.

                “how about VR?” again Brian who voiced to make his choice, Keenan smiled broadly in agreement with the wishes of his adopted sister, they both immediately went to the VR place which happened to be no one playing at the time.

Smiles are visible both from Brian and Keenan's lips, before they both start the game.

                “WHAT IS THIS WHY ALL THE DEMONS ARE UGLY!!” brian grumbled as he started the game.

In contrast to Keenan who looks relaxed facing challenges in VR, although occasionally he is found surprised because of demons that appear suddenly, but he can overcome it in a cool way like a real man.

                “AAHHHH HYUNG HELP ME, HIS DEMONS KEEP FOLLOWING ME.”  Brian's whine continues to disturb Keenan who is engrossed in his own world.

                “Heyy!! stop pushing me, I can't concentrate on finding my stuff.” Keenan.

                “NOT.. NO HYUNGGG!! is there anything in your place that sucks?” brian said again while hooking his arm around Keenan's arm.

Keenan repeatedly scolded Brian for continuing to disturb his concentration, but Brian did not care about it he pushed and also kicked Keenan as if he was at war with a real demon beside him.

His legs and hands seemed busy wandering around, until finally making Keenan get used to an impromptu attack by Brian who always followed him wherever he went.

Not until there, after being satisfied to play VR they immediately moved to play car races, the togetherness that is established between them today increasingly makes them feel comfortable with each other.

They realize that the comfort in making friends is not from how much time they get to know, but because they feel good about each other.

The laughter that sounded was so loud, as if the burden of thoughts they had were forgotten for a while.

After Andromeda returned from the Agency (His place of work) he was immediately busy preparing everything for dinner assisted by his household assistant bi Dharma.

Not only meat but he also makes snacks, such as pudding strawberries his sister likes and some kookies as snacks.

Already like a mother who is very familiar with her daughter's favorite food, Andromeda tried to maybe always give the best she can, so that her sister does not lack the slightest affection from her family.

                “how's it going, ran?” ask bi Dharma who saw Rani walking closer to him.

                “it looks like I have to really go home bi.” he replied while helping bi Dharma put the bowl and cutlery on the tray.

                “so yes, yes already if it has become your final decision, continue how about the neighboring girl who will replace you.” the light conversation between bi Dharma and bi Rani continues as they both arrange for some food to be placed on the tray.

                “iya already.” said bi Dharma who ended his short conversation then intends to walk away carrying the tray that already contains food to the roof.

A few hours passed, now the sky had changed color as well as the task of the sun which had been replaced by the bright star and full moon at night.

Added to the strands of tumblr lights that Andromeda sticks to the dividing wall, making the atmosphere in the roof room more lively.

All the food, drinks and the stove for grilling meat, as well as everything needed for grilling had been prepared on the short table, where they would spend the night together.

                “whahh, heol daebak!! really oppa nyiapin meat and also snacks this much, you sure can spend it?” said Vivian who was amazed when she saw the beautiful view of the roof, then glanced at the girl next to her.

                “why glance at me, your portion of food is more than me.” Andheera Protest.

                “hey I'm sure you two can spend it hihihi.” Sahut Andromeda who already in his position.

                “oppa, don't invite all citizens of the XXX complex aja.” Andheera then walked to sit across from her brother.

                “astaga you this.” Andheera Gerrutu.

                “oiia, who is this man? Your girlfriend dheera?” andromeda asked, seeing a man beside Vivian sitting next to Andheera.

                “bak” replied Andheera “iya” replied Brian they simultaneously replied with different answers, trying not to care, not to care, Vivian also sat down and joined her seat next to Andromeda.

                “you're in a fight?” andromeda asked again as if there were only three of them, and Vivian was just a statue.

                “iya yes, I am Brian kak, the senior of these two girls and only their schoolmate.” Brian finally introduced himself properly.

                “so, I guess one of these girls is your girlfriend hehehe.” Goda Andromeda glanced at Andheera and Vivian in turn.

                “pengennya anyway hihihi.” Reply Brian complete with his flagship smile box.

                “I suggest anyway not with Andheera, she is scary hahahaha.” Ledek Andromeda who made his sister frown.

                “you're talking about your own sister oppa.” Andheera muttered while trying to taste some sweet snacks in front of him.

                “hehehehe sorry, let's eat.” Andromeda ended his lighthearted talk and then started for his main purpose, having dinner together.

                “oke thanks for the meal brother meda.” Vivian and Brian said in unison, in contrast to Andheera who had started eating the food he wanted to eat first.

Eventually the four of them started their first feed, with Andromeda grilling the meat, then letting the younger ones eat it first.

The warmth between them made Andheera forget the burden and the pain in her for a moment.

The wide laughter seemed to decorate their long night, all seemed real nothing made up.

Sometimes Brian and Andromeda threw a crisp joke to add excitement that night, always greeted with a warm laugh by Vivian as well as Andheera who seemed to enjoy it, while continuing to chew her favorite meat.

***

Yogyakarta Daegu Airport.

After Diana and Mina finished checking in, Mina asked for permission to go to the toilet for a while, while Diana sat in the waiting room watching the crowd milling before her.

It was unexpected that he found a familiar figure walking towards him, with a beautiful girl beside him.

It only took a few more steps to get close to her, but it seemed that the woman stopped and spoke to the man and went in another direction.

While the man continued his steps until right in front of Diana, then he sat next to Diana as if he did not recognize the old grandmother, he only focused on the phone he was staring at.

                “long time no see Keenan.” Sapa Diana turned her head towards Keenan beside her, Keenan was a little surprised to hear the voice, like a familiar voice to him, Keenan ventured to ascertain who was beside him.

                “omma.. (murmuring Keenan slowly while rounding his eyes, surprised to see the presence of Diana that he never imagined would meet here)

how can omma be here?” ask Keenan a little nervous.

                “omma only visit, grandfather cremated in his hometown.” Expose Diana with a smile as gracious as possible.

                “aah so.“ Keenan's brain just realized one thing, with nimble both eyes Keenan looking for a figure that is missed so much, he said, but he didn't find anyone there just Diana.

                “both omma grandchildren no one comes along, only omma visits.” Diana added, then turned her eyes back from Keenan's face.

                “aah hehe.” The search was completed when Diana told Keenan that the person she was looking for was not there, it was clear that Keenan was disappointed.

“what is Andheera doing okay, omma?” asked Keenan in a worried tone while bowing his head.

                “iya very good. “abut diana, the atmosphere of silence for a while both of them just fixated on the thing in front of her until Diana resumed her conversation.

“Omma has only one question for you, can you answer it honestly.” Diana's voice sounded very serious.

                “certain, what is omma?” response Keenan.

                “Andheera.. did he really lose his memory?” diana asked and then turned her head until their eyes met again, looking Keenan raised a little lip line as if he had long been waiting for the question from a middle-aged grandmother who was beside him.

                “aamm.. I know omma hates me so much because Andheera always ends up fighting with the people who bullied me first, because Andheera always gets involved in violence to defend me." mutilate.

"If I say Andheera has not lost her memory at all, will omma believe me?” continued Keenan with a gaze shrouded in anger, making Diana surprised to see the change of the two eyes Keenan like a different person.

Now Keenan doesn't seem like the weak boy he used to be completely changed.

                “Andheera remembers everything?” Diana wanted to convince me once again.

                “iya even during the robbery incident that killed my grandfather at that time, Andheera remembered it clearly.” Keenan added again then turned his face away from Diana again.

“Omma.. There's something I really want to say more than this, but if Andheera finds out I told omma, it's not true." she said.

"Because Andheera already believes in me, I can't say more than this. So please look for the truth that happened and apologize to Andheera, she has been having a lot of difficulties so far.” concluded Keenan.

Then get ready to get up from the seat to end his brief conversation with Diana, plus Keenan's two sharp eyes found Jiso back and walking towards him.

                “Keenan..” but a call from a middle-aged woman stopped her first steps, Keenan turned a moment back to respond to diana's call.

“thank you for being by Andheera's side for a long time.” Diana said sincerely, while displaying a gentle smile as a sign of their separation, the smile was then warmly welcomed by Keenan before he turned back to step foot and walked toward Jiso who was not far in front of him.

Although it was just a short meeting as well as the conversation, but the fact that Andheera remembered everything made Diana think out loud, why did my little girl lie to me all this time? what happened or what I missed.

Since then Diana did not want to go back to thinking negatively about her granddaughter, she began to investigate everything from the beginning with the help of some connections she had.

As well as some people she could rely on, Diana was determined to find out what Andheera had actually been hiding from her all along.

“who are you talking to?” jiso asked because he saw Keenan looking at an old man sitting behind him.

                “only greet each other.” Keenan replied that he did not want to explain further, then the two of them walked together out of the airport to Jiso's pickup car, which had been waiting for a long time outside.

                “because your driver is here, you first I want to go to Joe's place before going home.” Keenan said without waiting for Jiso's response he immediately walked away to a taxi that happened to stop in front of Jiso's car.

                “aiish, at least listen until I respond he always speaks as it passes, indeed I am a wall huh!!” his gerutu then kicked the tire of his own car, the driver Jiso who saw the behavior of his master's daughter could only sigh and shake his head.
