As soon as Rere fell asleep, Romeo went out to meet Haikal. Not finding Haikal in his room, Romeo looked down. It turned out that the man was in the backyard, with a cigarette in his hand.
Romeo approached Haikal on a long bench and sat next to him.
"Sorry." It was the first word that came out of Haikal's lips. "I was carried away by feeling. I won't repeat it again. You don't have to worry, I know myself enough."
"It's good that way. But I didn't come to discuss that."
Haikal turned to Romeo and heard that.
"What do you know about Rere? I mean about the rape?"
Haikal dropped the cigarette butts in his hand and stepped on them violently until the fire was extinguished. "It's all because of me." Haikal stared at the night sky. Her heart aches when she finds out Rere is the victim of Gina's obsession with her.
"What do you mean?" Romeo turned towards Haikal.
"Because of Gina's obsession with me, Rere became a victim. And stupid.." Haikal could not continue, he said.
"You accused him of cheating and annulled your marriage,"
Haikal. Her chest was very tight if she remembered all the charges against Rere. He was too cruel at the time.
"Am I embarrassing?" Haikal wiped away the tears that escaped from the corner of his eyes while laughing.
"Yes, it's embarrassing. Since when does Haikal cry?" Ejek Romeo with a bitter smile.
Haikal laughed immediately. "Isn't it usual for Romeo to cry a lot. Crying when you leave your mother, when you fall off the bike, even when the lights come off, disgusting." Cibir Haikal while wiping away the tears.
"Hey, that was when I was a kid." Romeo defended himself.
"True, and after growing up, you never cried at all, not even when Dad whipped you with a belt." Haikal will never forget that day, where Romeo was whipped, but he who wept for his heartlessness.
"Our little days are so beautiful Kal." Romeo stared at the grass in the back. A place where they used to play together. "But all of that gradually disappears as we get older. When we grow up, we live in our own world. We rarely communicate, even exchange stories."
Haikal patted Romeo on the shoulder several times. "That's because you never needed me again. You're no longer my little Meo who would run for my protection when bullied by your friend."
"But we're still Kal's brother?"
Haikal chuckled at the silly question.
"Of course."
"Even when we love the same woman?" Romeo turned towards Haikal.
Haikal's laughter turned into a bitter smile. He also did not expect that he would fall in love with the same woman as Romeo.
"Say people, blood is thicker than water. No matter what the course of our destiny is, we are still Meo's brothers. Same with dad. No matter what he does, and no matter how deeply we hate him, he's still our father." Haikal looked at Romeo. The two looked at each other for a moment and then looked back to the front.
Because of the chat, Romeo so almost forgot if the goal to meet Haikal is to discuss about Rere.
"Oh yeah, how do you know if Gina's planning a rape on Rere?" ask Romeo.
"Febbi, he told me."
Romeo's heart immediately thumped if he discussed this. "What did Febbi tell you?" Romeo was very curious, was his name also mentioned by Febbi?
"So you don't know yet, who was the man who raped Rere?" Romeo's lips quivered as he asked.
Haikal. "Unfortunately I don't know yet. But I'll find out soon enough. That guy can't just get away with it. He must account for his actions by serving time in prison. What he did was not only a criminal act, but it also destroyed a woman's future. I won't forgive him." Haikal's hands clenched tightly and his jaw hardened with emotion.
"What if that guy was me?" With a choking breath, Romeo said that.
"Now is not the time for jokes." Haikal responded to it as a condition. "You were in Japan at the time. Do you think you can rape online? Come on Meo, I'm talking seriously." Haikal was upset. "Oh yeah, I forgot I haven't told Rere not to act rashly. Please tell him I'll take care of Gina."
"You mean?"
"Me and Febbi are up to something. Just pray it works." Haikal patted Romeo on the shoulder several times.
"Yes, good luck. I'll be ready."
"Prepared ready?" Haikal doesn't understand.
Romeo simply answered her with a bitter smile.
"Ah yes." Haikal patted his forehead. "Prepare ready to be a backup for Rere. He would definitely be very shaken when he knew who the seed planter was in his possession. Don't let anything bad happen to your child. I know you already think of the child as your own. I'm proud to have such a broad-hearted sister. At least, Rere's future isn't ruined thanks to you."

Tonight, Febbi and Haikal will execute their plans.
"Remember a good act." Febbi's message when they get to Gina's apartment building.
"Bawels." Haikal got out of Febbi's car and got in.
Acting isn't Haikal's custom, but this time, he should be able to get out of his comfort zone.
Breathe in, throw out, she does that many times before pressing the bell of Gina's apartment. After pressing the bell a few times, the door opened in front of him.
"Get." Gina was surprised to see Haikal arrive at the door of her apartment at night like this. Plus her disheveled appearance and still wearing work clothes, Gina so asked, what's wrong with her?
"Can I come in?"
"Of course." Gina stepped out of the door to make way for Haikal. Closing the door and trailing behind Haikal.
Haikal dropped his body weight on the sofa while kneading his head.
Gina took the mineral water in the refrigerator and gave it to Haikal. "What's Kal?"
Haikal did not reply, closing his eyes while continuing to massage his head.
Convinced Haikal was having trouble, Gina sat down next to him and clasped her hand. It was like this, the best time to take Haikal day.
Haikal suddenly cried and dropped his head on Gina's lap.
