"That's just according to my sister. He can protect someone he loves, but he can't protect himself. He is good at protecting people but not good at protecting himself. Everyone is like that too. Some can protect themselves and others. There are also those who can protect others, but cannot protect themselves or vice versa. And Kiya is among those who can protect others, but can not protect themselves. Although from the outside she looks like a woman as strong as a rock and also a woman so strong as steel, but she also has a fragile heart and can suddenly come whenever her heart will be hurt. And I'm pretty sure that he will be hurt when he hears this." Ahmad explained at length.
"Then, what do you want? You're not good at finding information, are you?" ask Rani confused.
"Here it is, there is no need to discuss it" replied Ahmad as if. He is very lazy to think at this time.
Ahmad put on his shirt again when Rani's brother finished scraping his back. Rani came out of Ahmad's room, while Ahmad also laid his body on the soft bed. He was so dizzy thinking about this. Ahmad began to close his eyes and went to his dreamland.

The clock has shown at 7 am, Syakirah and his friends are already sitting at their respective work desks. Today the situation of Syakirah and Ahmad is not okay. The faces of the two of them had gone pale once since coming to the factory, it was because last night the two of them had not slept properly.
"Hey Syakirah, Ahmad, are you both okay? Your face looks very pale, almost said like a corpse." said Navile who hung at the end of his sentence.
"I'm fine." replied Ahmad and Syakirah compactly but with a very limp tone.
"It seems that what you say is not in accordance with reality." said Revelation.
"We're fine" replied Ahmad trying to convince them that he was fine.
"Yes, I just got less sleep yesterday. That's why it's like this." continued Syakirah.
"Did you guys stay up yesterday?" ask Ryan.
"No. We don't stay up together, we can't sleep in our own homes" Syakirah replied.
The four of them just nodded at the answer from Syakirah and Ahmad. It seems like the two of them are in trouble, the four of them thought.
Actually Syakirah wants to tell a story with Revelation, but considering Revelation also likes Kiya makes Syakirah undo his intention to tell with Revelation. He can only talk to Ahmad this time. If the time has come, then he will tell the Revelation as well.

The clock has shown at 11:45, Syakirah and Ahmad did not go to the cafeteria. They both choose to go to the back of the factory and talk about Kiya and Evan. The back of the factory looked completely deserted and there were only the two of them, it was because the factory employees were still enjoying lunch.
"What should we do?" ask Syakirah to panic.
"Okay, I don't know either. The problem is that we can't talk to Revelation or her friends, because Revelation has feelings for Kiya. I'm afraid that if we tell him, he'll be hurt" Ahmad replied.
"Then, what should we do? I've also told my motorcycle gang friends to look for information as well, but they haven't found anything until now" Syakirah said frustratedly.
"Syakirah, try to call Kiya and ask about her feelings for Evan.
Syakirah gawked and immediately looked at Ahmad in disbelief.
"Do you want to die?! How could I ask him like that, directly again!" syakirah was upset.
"You'll call."
"You're his cousin."
"You're the one who needs that information, so you're the one who should call him."
"I don't actually need either. Whether you want to call him or not, it doesn't hurt me either."
"What the fuck are you saying!"
They argue and Syakirah calls Kiya. Actually he was reluctant, afraid if Kiya suddenly angry but want how else. Both of their phone lines are connected. Syakirah activated his speakers so that Ahmad also heard Kiya's words.
"Hello? Why, Syakirah? What's up?" kiya's voice came from across there.
"Ah, yes. Waalaikumsalam, sis. I want to ask you something." replied Syakirah gagu.
"You ask what? Why don't you just ask?" ask Kiya again who is across the street.
"But don't be angry, brother. How do you feel about Evan? Are you into it?" Shakirah was timid when he asked.
The one across there was silent, not answering. Even the one who originally wrote in the book became stopped because of the question Syakirah.
"Somehow, I don't seem to like it. Why are you asking like that? Do you still like him?" answer the one across there.
"What is brother talking about?! I don't like it anymore! I'm just asking, can't!" syakirah said annoyed to the other side.
"I don't seem to like it, Syakirah. Stop setting me up with him and keep trying to get me closer to him. I'm not exactly her taste, so if you have a plan something you better cancel it. Than I'm disappointed in you." said Kiya who was across there at length.
"I don't have any plans, brother. Are you sure you don't like it? He's the perfect guy."
"No. In this world no one is perfect, all of them also have disabilities. Whether it is nature, physical or behavioral. So you don't keep telling me to get close to him. To me he's the same as a man in general, but a little silly."
"Sister, do you hate Evan?" tanya Syakirah does not believe. He himself was also surprised by his own question that suddenly came out of his mouth.
"No, I don't hate him at all. I'm just lazy to be close to a guy like him. I don't like him very much either." replied the one across the street.
After asking a few questions with Kiya, Syakirah disconnected her phone. He looked at his hp. Not believing that Kiya does not like Evan, even though Evan has spent a lot of money for him but Kiya still does not like Evan.
Syakirah to be confused to see the feelings of her brother that is difficult to guess. Syakirah thinks that her brother's heart has frozen or maybe because he has felt heartache? But with whom? Kiya has never been in contact with any man. Asraf's? Is it possible that Kiya likes Asraf? And his heart froze because Asraf left him? But is that possible? Kiya did not even like Asraf at all, due to Asraf's past deeds. Question after question popped into Syakirah's head all of a sudden. Confused by the way his cousin's feelings.
