Hello, people...How are you guys doing?
I'm sorry for the new up. I'm really busy in real life.
Thank you for waiting faithfully for this story. Thank you very much, guys.
Stay in this story, yes. Cause I'm gonna keep up until this story's over.
Let's continue the story of Rhiana.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me, dear."
"This man..." Rhiana snorted inwardly.
"I'm sorry. I promise, in the future, whatever you do, I will believe you. I'm sorry, hmm?" Brilyan realized, his words must have hurt this girl.
"At least don't hug me too tight, man. Hey... How dare he kiss my head?" Irritated Rhiana in heart. Rhiana was annoyed, as Brilyan bravely kissed her head repeatedly.
"I'm not angry, just disappointed. My goal was to come here because I was going to do a painting race. The reward is enough for mother's treatment. My friend invited me to stay with him here. So, don't just accuse me."
Rhiana had just thought of this reason. He had read a poster on the table of Artya's apartment. On the poster, the famous painter, A3, opened a painting competition to look for new talents that he would train himself.
Rhiana is interested, because the name A3 is also written in the bottom right corner of the dragon sword painting on display in Artya's apartment. Of course, by being a disciple of the A3 painter, he easily met the painter, and asked if he had painted the tattoo on his back or not. There was at least a bright spot about the tattoo on his back. Rhiana registered this afternoon. The painting competition will be held the day after tomorrow.
"I'm sorry,"
"Yes. So, please let go of your embrace. I'm claustrophobic." Rhiana tried to be patient by pushing Brilyan's plan.
"thank you. Have you had dinner? Let's eat together" Brilyan softly said. The man had already let go of his embrace. Don't forget that rarely seen soothing smile.
Rhiana thought a little, then nodded. He's bored tonight, too.
The two left in a taxi. Of course, Brilyan did not want Rhiana to ride in the car that she was like earlier, because the glass was already broken.
The two are unaware that their interaction was noticed by Artya through the apartment's surveillance camera.
Artya stared at the iPad screen in her hand flatly. But believe me, the man tried to keep himself calm when he saw Brilyan hugging, even kissing Rhiana's head a few times. There was something strange about him seeing the intense interaction of the two people.
"Love Brilyan sign up for the painting race the day after tomorrow, sir." Felix opened his voice after feeling his master's mood was not good.
Artya glanced at Felix curiously, then asked, "Whose name is he wearing?"
"Koran Senora." Artya just nodded in understanding. The man then placed the iPad on the table. Artya then pinched her temple dizzy. His head was always like this if he tried to remember something.
...
Rhiana and Brilyan were having dinner at her restaurant. This restaurant Rhiana woke up after saving several times from the results she carried out her mission. Because Brilyan asked where she wanted to eat, of course Rhiana happily promoted her restaurant.
This restaurant is quite luxurious and provides quite a lot of menus, making customers of various ages can come here. In addition to the menu, the interior is also contemporary, making this restaurant is always the best spot for young people to take pictures here.
Rhiana ordered seafood. Brilyan just followed. While waiting for their food to be served, the two just kept quiet. Rhiana was busy staring out, Brilyan happily looked at Rhiana. Of course the man would never get tired of staring at that innocent face. Especially if the girl smiled, Brilyan felt like biting the cabby cheek. Too adorable.
"Sir Anya?" Someone called Rhiana from her middle name, Lavanya.
Feeling called, Rhiana immediately turned her head and smiled sweetly at the handsome young man who also returned his smile. Brilyan himself stared dislikefully because Rhiana showed that smile to others. Rarely did this girl smile at him. Of course Brilyan was not happy.
"Axtton?" Rhiana was very happy to see this beloved sister.
Axtton is the only child of Kharalex Sach Warrython/Lesfingtone, whom we know as Alex and his wife, Tellyana Marcus Johnson. Axtton is 3 years younger than Rhiana.
"I miss you so much, brother. Because brother left, I was lonely. No one was accompanying me to sleep anymore" Axtton was so spoiled for Rhiana. She also knew of Rhiana's appearance now.
The 12-year-old loves Rhiana. He prefers to hear the words of his beloved brother, rather than his parents. Really weird.
"I really wanted to join Anya's sister, but papa forbade. He said he would disturb Anya's brother there. I've been trying to escape, but papa always manages to catch me." Axtton started telling stories with a pouting face. Rhiana simply chuckled and pinched the gaunt cheeks of this handsome teenager.
Rhiana was unconscious with the deadly gaze of a Brilyan who had been staring at Axtton as if swallowing the child alive.
"Stay away from him, boy!" Brilyan could not bear to see Axtton's attitude that was too attached to Rhiana.
The handsome teenager casually grasped one hand of Rhiana and began to tell stories making Brilyan want to punch him.
"He who? Brother's friend? Why are you friends with someone like this? I don't agree!" Axtton immediately changed his expression to dislike Brilyan.
"He's..."
"I'm Rhiana's boyfriend!" Brilyan replied before Rhiana answered.
"Daughter? Haha... The world now, boyfriends are no longer needed. Everyone needs a clear and important, legitimate status. I just need a few more years to be legal before applying for Anya to be my wife.
Both parents agreed. Do you dare to propose to Anya in front of her parents? Of course, not brave, right?" Axtton started flying the war flag making Brilyan's blood start to rise slowly.
Rhiana herself only held back a laugh. He was amused by this discussion.
"Why not dare? It all takes time. A boy like you, you better go home and study." Brilyan replied in annoyance.
"Don't underestimate me! I'm taking an exorcism class to catch up with Anya. That way, I can be with her and keep her away from people like you." Axtton is a debater. The handsome teenager was very good at stringing words to reply to someone. Of course his chatty nature was declining from his mother.
"Kc... Who would believe a boy like you?" Brilyan sneered and looked down at Axtton.
"You..."
"Excuse me. This is the menu, sir, Miss." A servant appeared and Brilyan stopped talking. The man sighed and nodded at the servant.
"Buet me, brother." Axtton's request successfully stops Brilyan's hand from retrieving a crab.
"Do I have to break your hand?" Annoyed Brilyan.
"Are you brave?" Axtton looked at Brilyan as if challenging. The teenager did not think about his young age. Although he was 12 years old, but his posture was only a little less with Brilyan. Of course he dared to challenge the young man.
"Don't think of him, brother. Suapi me. aa..." Axtton was already waiting for a bribe from Rhiana.
Rhiana smiled cutely and began to take the shrimp she had peeled earlier and prepared to feed Axtton.
"Hey.it's mine. How dare..." Axtton's shout did not receive as Brilyan quickly pointed Rhiana's hand at her mouth, so she managed to eat the shrimp in Rhiana's hand. Brilyan chewed while looking at Axtton with his triumphant gaze.
"He stole the shrimp, brother. I want some more..." Axtton whines spoiled at Rhiana.
The 12-year-old was instantly alert when Rhiana's hand wanted to feed her shrimp.
"It's..." Axtton chewed happily, after which the shrimp made it into his mouth. Brilyan just stared flat at the teenager and started peeling the large crab in front of him.
"Open your mouth," Brilyan spoke softly. His right hand directed the shell of the crab which had been partially peeled towards Rhiana.
Rhiana was silent for a while then glanced at Axtton who was snorting unhappily. Just as Rhiana was about to open her mouth receiving a bribe from Brilyan, her phone on the table rang. The one who called was Mommy Rihan.
Rhiana stopped her intentions, and took her phone. Of course, it made Brilyan unhappy. The man was annoyed and asked inwardly, who would dare to bother at a time like this.
Just as Brilyan was about to ask, a single word from Rhiana made him gulp nervously. He was almost angry at his future father-in-law.
"Mom..." Rhiana smiled faintly answering the phone.
"Happy playing? Now home!"
"Hehehe. Yes, quickly, Mom." Rhiana scratched her nape and disconnected the phone.
"What did my future in-laws say, brother?" Ask Axtton to know. Brilyan also silently nodded in agreement.
"none. I have to go!" Rhiana calmly stood up. Brilyan frowned confusedly. Where is this girl going?
"Go with me, brother. I also want to go home" Axtton certainly knows where his beloved brother is going.
"I'll take you, '" Brilyan stood up. He also wondered where Rhiana wanted to go. Rhiana nodded in disapproval. Brilyan must not know his identity.
"Sister's ear, Ax." Rhiana turned to look at Axtton. The teenager was happy to welcome it.
"Why not go with me?" Brilyan was disappointed that Rhiana did not want him to drive her.
"There's something I have to do, and it has nothing to do with you. So..."
"That's got something to do with him?" Brilyan immediately cut in with a question. Rhiana glanced at Axtton and nodded her head just so that she quickly left. Rhiana did not even notice the disappointed expression of a Brilyan.
"alright. Careful. If there's anything, call me." Brilyan exhaled softly before letting Rhiana go with Axtton. Rhiana nodded and left with her cousin's sister.

"So, why don't you ask mommy and daddy for help?" Rihan asked his youngest child, Rhiana.
Rhiana smiled faintly before shaking her head. The girl replied, "I know what mommy and daddy are capable of. If I ask for your help for this mission, of course it's not exciting. Everything is going well and I don't like it.
I want to learn many things on my own. I want to learn and solve everything in my own strength. I want to be just like mommy and daddy who built it all from scratch. I want to be like you guys. So, mommy and daddy just need to monitor from afar. Wait and see your son's success,"
Rihan and Zant looked at each other and smiled. Both then nodded. They both hugged Rhiana who was sitting between them.
"All right! But mommy will give you a little advice. What you see is not necessarily true. As bad as anyone is, it's not necessarily bad. And no matter how good someone is, it's not necessarily good. So, whatever you experience going forward, remember to think before you act. Don't regret it later."
"Although you currently do not understand, but believe me, you will understand what mommy means someday. We'll always keep an eye on you from afar, Swety." Zant added while stroking the dear head of Rhiana.
"Thank you, Dad, Mom."
"Together."
"Ekhem... But, that young man named Brilyan was quite good. Oh, yeah.there's still her sister too. Both look interesting. Who will you choose?" Rihan flirts after pinching Rhiana's cheek softly.
"uh? I never thought that far, huh. My mission is not done." Rhiana shook her head not accepting the temptation of her mommy.
"It's up to you, Swety. After all, daddy still doesn't want anyone to take care of you but us." Zant softly.
Honestly, Zant didn't want anyone else to take his youngest child. Zant felt that he had not spent enough time with his beloved son. Although it was only dating, Zant was certainly not willing.
***
Today is a painting competition. Brilyan had been waiting for Rhiana early in the apartment lobby. Of course he did not want Axtton to suddenly appear and interrupt his time and Rhiana.
Brilyan himself did not even know if his mother's other brother was a famous painter. She only knew her brother was a janitor but loved to paint.
Rhiana appeared in her typical simple clothes. Round glasses and hair that was pigtailed to the top showing his white neck made Brilyan not like it. He was eager to stroke Rhiana's hair, but the man held back. She was afraid that Rhiana was uncomfortable with her.
Brilyan sighed and smiled gently at Rhiana. "Where's the address?"
Rhiana slowly gave the poster of the race to Brilyan. The man nodded and clasped Rhiana's hand towards the car. Rhiana could only sigh and let Brilyan carry her into the car.
