"Damn it Sister Kirana!" Shinta grumbled while ruffling her long and straight hair.
In a house that is not too big, Shinta is seen pacing back and forth in her room. She was so annoyed with his brother who left him at Cafe Gemilang this afternoon.
"What else should I do? Arghh!"
In his mind he was still thinking about how to prevent Kirana from revealing a secret that would later become a boomerang for him.

The ceiling was already filled with shining stars. Even the moon was spoiled, still showing its dim light. However, until that second Falin had not returned to his house. She was still calming Kirana who had been comfortable with her sobs.
"She's Kirana's sister, right?" Kirana asked innocently while her hand was still actively stroking Kirana's hair
The question actually made Kirana dumbfounded. In reality, Kirana had never told Falin the details of her family in detail. In fact, he had no intention of telling that Shinta was not his biological sister. Because Kirana doesn't want to reveal her old wounds. However, that day, a question that Kirana had avoided so much had unexpectedly approached him.
"Why did you ask him there?" Kirana asked still sobbing.
Falin rolled his eyes to the ceiling of Kirana's room. She seemed to be thinking about something.
"Just asking, Sis. For example, if she's Kirana's younger sister ... she certainly can't be like that. Moreover, there is a blood bond that runs between you and your sister," Falin explained with his hand rubbed against his chin.
She was just asking. Incidentally the logic was at play at that time. However, such an incident could indeed happen. Because sometimes jealousy towards a brother can make him do something he shouldn't have done.
"No ... Shinta is not my sister." Kirana's spontaneous answer made the girl who had grown up dumbfounded. He didn't think so.
"Continue?" Falin asked with a serious face and a little surprised.
Falin thought that this statement did not make sense.
Kirana took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly while stopping her tears.
"I am is adopted child, Lin."
The answer spontaneously made Falin even more surprised. She frowned as she shook his head. She really did not believe Kirana's statement at that time. However, she tried to keep asking slowly and from heart to heart.
"Are you kidding me?" asked Falin with a bitter smile.
However, Kirana only replied with a shake of her head. She also understood that Falin would be very surprised and couldn't believe the truth.
Meanwhile, Falin could only stroke his chest. She felt very concerned about the fate that was outlined by God for people as good as Kirana. Moreover, Falin knows very well what it's like to be a difficult person who is always insulted by others. And of course Kirana has really felt it. In fact, it is still felt to this day.
From that second on, Falin knew why Shinta's attitude was so mean to Kirana.
"God must have the best plan for Mbak Kirana," said Falin, trying to curl the corners of his lips.
That night, Falin completely forgot that she had returned to his luxurious house.
Then, suddenly there was a knock on the door and a call from outside Kirana's apartment.
"Excuse me!"
Falin, who was already familiar with the voice, was immediately surprised.
"Oh my gosh!" Falin screamed which spontaneously made Kirana surprised too.
"Why the hell, Lin?" asked Kirana who was still stroking his chest.
"Falin forgot that it's already night, Sis ... right, Falin has to go home," he said as he patted his forehead which was slightly wide.
Falin thought that he was still high up in the cardboard house with his street friends. This was indeed natural, because Falin had also recently visited the cardboard house.
"Oh God ... because of me, yes, this ...," said Kirana guiltily.
"No-no, what are you talking about ..." Falin protested, who did not feel aggrieved for accompanying Kirana since this afternoon. More so because she himself intends to meet Kirana.
Kirana even without being ordered to immediately throw a warm hug to the girl who is always a consolation she said every time she was in a sad state like that. She let out a few tears, but without Falin knowing.
"Thank you, yes, you always accompany to me ...," said Kirana still in a hugging position.
Falin held back a little laugh. Kirana doesn't usually act that sweet.
"Is this real or a joke?" Falin teased in a whispering voice.
Kirana who heard that immediately let go of her hand. After all, Falin has also been having trouble breathing for a long time because of Kirana's tight embrace.
"What are you doing!" said Kirana with pursed lips.
Falin spontaneously burst out laughing with his mouth wide open.
“Never mind, Sis ... Falin go home first. I'm afraid the host will be furious,” said Falin with an innocent look.
Outside the rented Mr. Saiful looked increasingly restless. She was so worried that his employer's son had not returned home soon. Surely he will also get angry from Mr. Wisnu and his wife.
"Oops ... sorry, Sir. Falin lost track of time," said Falin who suddenly came out from behind the rented door. She also seemed to be out of breath because she was so panicked when she realized that Mr. Saiful had been waiting for him since the afternoon in the car.
"Let's go home, Non. You might be the one who gets scolded by Non Falin's mother," said Mr. Saiful, which made Falin feel very guilty. However, he will be responsible and explain directly to his mother and father.
"Relax, sir!" said Falin as he walked towards his car.
Mr. Saiful was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Although in his heart there is still a glimmer of concern, but he will deal with it wisely.
Because they were already in the car, Mr. Saiful quickly started his car at a rather high speed. He did not want to arrive at his employer's house too late.
"You're speeding a little, it's okay, yes, Non," said Mr. Saiful with his gaze still focused on the road.
Falin who was sitting at the back only responded with a smile. In his mind, she was already thinking about the answers to his parents when they asked him questions at home. Although the other side of his heart said that his parents would most likely not make a fuss over things that weren't that important to them. Even though it had something to do with their biological children.
"Don't worry, sir. Mom and Dad won't really care. In fact, even if I don't come home, they'll be normal," Kirana said from the back seat, smiling sarcastically.
