Since the age of 8 years, Vivian has been treated in foster care because of the fire that occurred in her residence, the little girl was lucky to survive, and survived, but unfortunately he had to let both his parents go at the same time.

Striving hard for the little girl to always hide her longing and sadness behind her fake smile and laughter, even so she was not really alone other than the people in the parlour who were already like family to her.

At the orphanage Vivian also knows Brian and his sister named Tsuyu, they are neighbors and good friends.

The playground behind the parlors, has always been where they spend time with the other children of the parlors.

Until 4 years later, there was a Grandpa who was none other than Grandpa Vivian came to the Orphanage intending to take Vivian away.

As Vivian cares deeply about her future and her education, she is forced to join her Grandpa leaving all her best friends in the care.

That was Vivian's departure.

Vivian and Tsuyu were playing on the swings behind the orphanage, with the other children engrossed in their activities.

                “kak Vivi sure want to go?” tanya Tsuyu while swinging her swing slowly.

                “iya if I go with grandfather, maybe I can go to a better place and have a future too, because all my needs for grandfather are fulfilled.” His speech.

                “padah even though Vivi's sister still can still go to school, right? sister Vivi does not have to leave all of her friends here, especially Brother Brian, from yesterday brother Brian looked glum to not want to go out of the room, so denger news sister Vivi wants to go.” Said Tsuyu again still trying to restrain Vivian.

                “I can still visit you guys here, it's not like I'm going to go far and forget you guys isn't it?” vivian's reply remained consistent on her decision.

                “iyaa anyway, but really yes brother Vivi promise to visit every weekend okay?” Tsuyu brandished her little finger, as people generally tie a promise by linking one pinky finger.

                “oke!” vivian exclaimed happily as he greeted Tsuyu's little pinky along with the sweetest smile he had.

Meanwhile at Haneul Hospital Jakarta.

Andheera walked through the hospital hallway, her gaze fixed on only one room, until she did not realize that she had been talking to Hyunjie, who had been talking to her, likewise with Hyunjie because of his bad heart condition he just passed Andheera just like that.

Lyra's Room.

The girl continued to slowly approach Lyra's bed, complete with a puzzling look to Lyra, what was really happening to the girl, until she had to visit in the wee hours.

                “you're okay?” asked Lyra who was surprised by Andheera's presence.

                “heemm, I just never expected if it turns out that he loved me all this time, I was just worried about useless things. hikss.” The sound of a slow sobbing Andheera who was bowing her head held back the raging feeling in her heart, so that even her tears could not be avoided.

Seeing the condition of Andheera like that made Lyra's heart feel pain, his hand tried to reach Andheera's hand that seemed to tremble.

Then pulling and hugging him tightly, unexpected the sobbing sound became more when Lyra stroked the back of Andheera with full tenderness.

Hiksss. hikksss.. hikkss. This time Andheera really let out all the pain, pain, wounds of the past in the warm embrace of Lyra.

Both Andheera's slender hands were tightly grasping the hospital clothes worn by Lyra.

                “it's okay Andheera you've been through it well.” A sentence that calmed Andheera's heart that night.

Long night for 2 teenage girls who are starting to grow up, another case with Andheera who cries because she is happy, Vivian her best friend must feel the pain of her heartbreak because she has to give up her love.

Throughout his journey on the bus, his tears could not stop flowing, although the sweet girl with the cheek of the kingpin had tried to hold him as hard as he could, but unfortunately the pain in his heart he could not hide.

And at the same time Andheera was still weeping in her arms, letting herself look weak this time in front of Lyra.

 ***

The next day (Andheera Room).

Tok..!!

The sound of knocking on the door outside sounded so loud, without waiting for a response from the owner of the room, someone behind the door immediately opened the door.

He found his sister, sitting in front of the dresser while combing her hair that was getting longer and longer.

                “Andheera came home at what time last night, kok oppa did not see you come until oppa overslept on the living room sofa.” He said as he slowly opened the door of his sister's room.

                “I met my classmate overrun, so I chatted with her for a while, maybe when I came home oppa was asleep.” Andheera's coral because it's impossible for him to tell the truth if he goes to the hospital, it will be very long to explain.

                “so? all right let's get off we had breakfast together.” He said while holding the door handle.

                “hmm..” response Andheera flat.

                “oppa has also prepared provisions for you there is still leftover meat yesterday.” Added again.

                “oppa... From now on I will eat at the school cafeteria.” Sahut Andheera turned to her brother with a thin smile engraved on his face.

                “really?” exciting Andromeda.

                “hmm..” again Andheera only responds with dehumane.

                “oke well, looks like you've got a friend other than Vivian, oppa is glad you started opening up Andheera.” said very enthusiastic to hear his sister had started to have other friends besides Vivian.

                “but wait, both eyes did you cry last night?” andromeda continued as she realized her sister's face was a little puffy and her eyes were swollen like someone crying.

                “iya.” Sahut Andheera's.

                “I only watch korean dramas oppa.” The lie.

                “really?”

                “hmm, have you left?” Andheera tried to bend the direction of his conversation.

                “iya just now, you're the bad luck.” Andromeda.

                “have I lost watching oppa drama, I didn't see jam.”

                “then hurry up, oppa take you to school if you bring a bike you'll be late.” Then walk out first.

                “hmm.”

***

Kirin High School Jakarta.

Unlike usual now the appearance of Andheera slightly changed as well as the aura he emanated, he looks more cheerful and sweeter by letting half of his hair down.

Because usually he never once untangled his curly hair.

As he walked down the school corridor, his gaze suddenly led to the basketball field, he found someone familiar playing basketball alone in the field.

Her smile again adorned her beautiful face, she undoes her intention to go straight to class and turns to approach Brian in the basketball court.

                “I think brother Brian will not play basketball anymore, it's been a long time I did not see brother Brian playing on the field.” said Andheera who then sat on the edge of the room while observing his senior basketball game.

                “ahh hey!! Andheera, you just arrived at this hour.” Brian's response when he found out Andheera was approaching him then looked at the circular watch on his wrist for a moment. 

The former Andheera lover stopped his basketball game, then walked while dribbling the basketball near the sweet girl who was sitting on the airy edge, complete with a gaze that can make ciwi-ciwi hypnotized will be good looks above average.

                “iya I stayed up last night so late wake up.”

Although it was a lie but strangely the reason sounded like a truth.

                “so? how about a little sport, there is still 10 minutes left, you can play basketball right?” take Brian who is still dribbling his basketball, while smiling smirk towards the girl in front of him.

                “can, but if I win gentian brother Brian who must treat me.” Said Andheera who was no less happy with her song smile.

                “okayy hahaha.” exclaimed Brian but sounded like a mock.

                “hahhaha don't pull your words yes.” Andheera said before she took off the backpack, and started her game with Brian.

                “aku a real man where might pull my words huh.”

                “ayoo!!” exclaimed Andheera while taking the ball that was dribbled by Brian, a sign the match between the two had begun.

The game was fierce both, Andheera and Brian looked so competitive, at first Brian did give space to Andheera, but it turns out the thing he did instead made himself left behind.

Because Andheera is more than just able to play basketball, making Brian several times gaping because he could not believe all the shots that Andheera did nothing missed, already like a real basketball player.

Until Brian was a little upset, Brian stopped while putting both arms on his waist, as if he could not believe this scene was real, is it true that the girl in front of him is Andheera or someone is possessing him until he looks so different.

                “Hey!! where did you learn to play basketball?! I rarely even see you exercising properly.” Brian complained that he did not accept the situation he was now experiencing.

                “i just lazy to do it does not mean I can not.” Andheera answered with a smile like Brian had done to him, then threw a basketball at Brian, a sign he wanted to end the game because Brian had lost.

They both decided to end the game, and sat together on the sidelines while having a light conversation.

                “if you know you are good I will not agree to treat you earlier huh.” Brian mumbled annoyed.

                “hahaha why, brother Brian is sorry now? Want to pull your word?” sahut Andheera was complete with mocking views.

                “aku only..” respn Brian resigned.

                “just what?” andheera's God again.

                “just want to complain only.” He muttered slowly while bowing his head.

                “hahahaha I've been playing basketball since childhood.” Reveal it while raising his head towards the sky with his hands that became his pedestal leaning.

                “really? With your sister?”

                “no, my neighbor, he always practices basketball every weekend not infrequently I also come to play besides just cheering him.” His face was still enjoying the clear weather in the morning before finally…

DING.. DONG.The bell's voice was so loud that Andheera and Brian were forced to end their brief meeting in the morning, after saying their farewells they both separated because their classes were opposite directions.
