"Rhi, a-k"
SREKK
Rhiana was shocked because her chair was pulled suddenly. The culprit was of course Artya. The man pulled his chair so that it docked to him. Though Rhiana wanted to know what Brilyan was going to say, she had already been pulled towards Artya.
"Why defend him?" Artya whispered unhappily.
"defended? I'm just putting forth a fair fight for both sides. If you follow the advice of those people, it is definitely Kak Artya who benefits the most. I'm a good person" Rhiana replied calmly.
"Don't repeat it again. I don't like it," Rhiana just snorted and enjoyed the cake in front of her.
"Do you want to say something?" Rhiana remembered Brilyan who seemed to want to say something.
"Yes. Ak-"
"Hay, Bri. Can I talk to you for a second?" A young girl approached Brilyan with her trademark smile.
"No." Brilyan answered quickly.
"Young Miss Zakhari, please sit down. Auntie will persuade Brilyan. Wait a minute, yeah." Lodia, Brilyan's mother kindly let the girl sit next to him.
"Nake?" Artya asked Rhiana regardless of the other circumstances. In her eyes was only Rhiana.
"Yes. I'm a sweet-sweet lover," Rhiana replied innocently.
"I'll have Felix prepare more for you at home. So, start the seka-"
SRETT
"Kenap-" Rhiana's voice was restrained because Brilyan had already pulled her away no matter the circumstances around.
"I want to talk, Rhi." Brilyan pulled Rhiana's wrist and ran off somewhere.
"BRILYAN, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Brilyan's mother's screams were completely disregarded.
Artya who was quite shocked by Brilyan's courage had just responded by standing up to give chase. Unfortunately, Brilyan's courage made Artya lose track of the two men. Brilyan would naturally not act without knowing the nature of Artya.
The aura around Artya suddenly turned grim. He's very upset. His sharp gaze was immediately cast towards Felix who was also staring at him. Of course Brilyan's actions had made them the center of attention.
Felix suddenly got goosebumps. Artya's assistant clearly knew how upset her employer was now. Nervous, Felix stood up and immediately gestured to his men to look for Rhiana's whereabouts. She must find Rhiana before her master's tyrant's nature is more severe. Felix is afraid his sin is killing more and more people. He had to start restraining his master to kill by working even harder.
"You're getting bolder, my sister. What am I supposed to do with you?" Artya muttered in heart. His hands clenched in anger. He was still generous because he thought Brilyan did not dare to harass him. But, if it's like this, there's no mercy anymore.

GREPS
"I miss you, Rhi. Miss you so much" said Brilyan who hugged Rhiana tightly. Brilyan's voice even sounded shrill. How much he misses Rhiana.
Brilyan felt frustrated because Rhiana was always taken away by her brother. And if Rhiana has returned, it is the twins Dalfa and Dalfi who always monopolize Rhiana. Brilyan didn't even have much longer time with the girl he liked.
"You look happy with my brother. You happy with her? What can I do for you to treat me like that too? What should I do, Rhi. I'm sick to see you with my brother. I'm..."
"Hey, man. You... crying? What am I supposed to do with this little guy? Why does this guy always look so fragile?" Rhiana said in her heart.
Rhiana only realized, it turns out that Brilyan is not as cold as it looks. Or, the warm nature of this man is only visible when with him? Rhiana sighed and returned Brilyan's embrace as she patted the man's back softly calming him down.
"Tell me, what should I do? I'm going crazy because of you, Dear."
"LOOK IN THE ROOM! THEY MUST BE THERE!"
The voice of a man and the sound of footsteps made Brilyan take off his embrace and pull Rhiana slightly into the corner. They were currently on the balcony of Brilyan's room. The man did not bring Rhiana out, because Artya's guards were everywhere. So, Brilyan just pulled Rhiana into her room.
"Come with me, yeah." Brilyan glanced at Rhiana.
"Whatever," Rhiana replied without looking at Brilyan. After all, wherever and wherever he hid, that hygienic tyrant would definitely find him.
"thank you. I love you,"
SRETT
"Don't tell me..." Said Rhiana and looked at Brilyan uncertainly. Rhiana has changed position in the sling Brilyan ala bride style.
"I'm sorry. Please trust me. Hold on tight, Dear. I'll jump," Rhiana pretended to be scared and poked her hand against Brilyan's neck.
"Close your eyes if you are afraid. I guarantee we'll be okay, trust me." Brilyan smiled looking at Rhiana who started to close her eyes.
SETS
Brilyan climbed into the chair on the balcony of his room before moving to the balcony railing.
BRACKET
The door to his room was also heard. Looks like her brother's man has already gotten here. Brilyan stared briefly into his room before jumping.
SHOUTED
"I'm sorry. You can open your eyes. We are already below," Brilyan's words made Rhiana slowly open her eyes. And right, they're already on the ground below. It turned out that Brilyan was strong enough to jump with the weight with him from the 2nd floor of the Scoth family's main house that was quite tall.
"You okay? Still scared?" Brilyan asked worriedly.
"Se little," Rhiana replied softly.
"I'm sorry again. We're going home. Hold on a second, yeah." Brilyan worriedly sped up his steps towards the car and left from there.
***
"Rhi..." Call Brilyan gently. His car had just stopped because they had already reached their destination. Rhiana was already asleep in the passenger seat next to her.
Rhiana's calm face invited Brilyan's hand to gently stroke her. Brilyan's hand also moved to remove the glasses Rhiana still faithfully attached. It looks disturbing, he thought.
"Behold, I love you very much. I'll do anything to get you. So please, look at me too, Rhi." Brilyan muttered with her hand still stroking Rhiana's cheek.
CUPS
Brilyan's affectionate kiss gave on Rhiana's forehead who was still asleep. Brilyan then exits the car towards the door of the car beside Rhiana to bring her in without waking her up.
"Rhia's asleep, Bi. He seems tired. He slept on the way here. I'll help lay him down. Sorry, Bi. May I know where Rhia's room is?" Brilyan spoke politely to his Aunt Ratih, whom he knew as Rhiana's mother.
"Thank God you're back, son. Thank you for bringing your aunt's son home, Iyan. Let aunt take her to her room." Aunt Ratih with the role of birth mother Rhiana leads Brilyan.
"Thank you for bringing Rhia home, Iyan. Want to make some tea?" Aunt Ratih offered politely. Rhiana was laid in her bed.
"It's not necessary, Bi. But, may I ask you something, Bi? Earlier forgive me." Brilyan seemed hesitant to say something.
"What's up, son?"
"Can I take care of Rhia, Bi? I didn't mean anything. I just want to. I just want to see Rhia longer, Bi. I know my request is disrespectful, but.I'm sorry, and please believe me, Bi. I'm not gonna do anything. I just want to keep Rhia. Please give me permission, Bi." Brilyan's current expression looked extremely embarrassed, scared, and also nervous. But his eyes looked at Aunt Ratih expectantly.
Aunt Ratih was suddenly confused. I don't know what the middle-aged woman should do when faced with a situation like this. As a person with a servant status who played the role of the real mother of his employer for a while, Aunt Ratih was afraid of taking a wrong stance.
If acting as a mother and a servant to her employer, it is very rude to allow others let alone a man to see his young Miss sleeping. But, if as a person who is not majestic, Aunt Ratih also pity to see Brilyan's face. It's not just today that Aunt Ratih saw her young Miss friend.
Ever since her young Miss had become friends with this man, and ever since her young Miss disappeared due to a mission or was taken away, this man had always come every day to check on her young Miss. Even this guy doesn't sleep and just waits outside his car all day. As a social being, Aunt Ratih pityed seeing Brilyan.
Dissolved with her thoughts, Aunt Ratih sighed before looking at Rhiana for a bit and turning to look at Brilyan.
"I'm sorry for being disrespectful, Bi. If I can't, can I stay on the living room couch, Bi? I just don't want Rhia to be taken away again by my sister. Please allow me, Bi. I promise not to do anything. I just want Rhia to stay near me. I beg you, Bi."
"You can stay here. Nak Iyan can also take care of Rhia in her room. But if you are sleepy, sleep on the living room sofa. Not in aunt's room. Don't break aunt's trust, Iyan." It turned out that Brilyan's pitying face made Aunt Ratih's duty as a servant shift slightly.
"Thank God. Thank you, Bi. Thank you very much. I promise to just look next to Rhia. Aunty could rest," Brilyan's sweet smile made Aunt Ratih could only stroke her chest and nod before coming out and resting in the next room.
"If you're hungry, there's still boxed food you keep in the fridge. Don't hesitate, and consider it your own home. Good night," Aunt Ratih paused for a moment and spoke before actually going to her room.
"Thank you, Bi. Have a good rest" Brilyan stood up and bowed respectfully until Aunt Ratih came out of Rhiana's room.
Brilyan sat down again. The position of the chair that was next to the bed near the hands of Rhiana, now moved to the head of Rhiana. Brilyan deliberately to be closer to staring at the face of Rhiana who was asleep.
Continuing to stare at Rhiana's face, Brilyan's eyes suddenly focused onto Rhiana's lips that were as red as cherry. Brilyan swallowed his saliva nervously.
"No, you promised you wouldn't do anything." Brilyan shook his head and spoke to himself inwardly. Unfortunately, her slightly open lips were as if calling out to him.
"Control yourself, Brilyan. Don't break Aunt's trust." Brilyan is still at war.
5 Minutes later. At 11:45, night.
Brilyan looked towards the door of Rhiana's room. Aunt Ratih didn't close it. Of course the door cannot be closed. Brilyan was also unlikely to close the door, as it was impolite let alone force him to stay in a girl's room.
"I'm sorry Bi. It's just that I can't help myself," Brilyan said inwardly.
CUPS
Brilyan's face was red. Though he only stuck his lips a split second with Rhiana's lips, but anyone who saw Brilyan's face at this time would know if the man was in a spring atmosphere.
"Sorry for stealing your kisses while sleeping, Rhi. Good evening. Sweet dreams, Dear." Brilyan said before peeping at Rhiana's forehead. Brilyan's smile still radiated beautifully. Of course the man was happy.
Not wanting to be possessed by the demon anymore, Brilyan fixed a bit of the blanket on Rhiana's body before standing up and looking at the state of Rhiana's small room. This room was not even bigger than his bathroom in the Scoth family's main house.
It looks small, but the room is very comfortable. Brilyan smiled faintly staring at the photo of Rhiana on her study table. There are two pictures on the table. One photo that there is a young Rhiana alone with her sweet smile, and another photo is Rhiana who hugs Aunt Ratih but both of them stare at the camera with great happiness.
Brilyan calmly took her phone and captured a photo of the younger Rhiana. With a happy smile, Brilyan set the photo as his phone wallpaper.
