The For Number One
6: Old Promise

5

“Kak Harsa, now it's your turn to obey me.”

After school, Lily pulled me to a bus stop and took me to a zoo not far from school. The reason for trying to block my two brothers and finally bring me here is so that he can be granted permission to enter because minors must be accompanied by adults.

And as soon as we got in, he ran to leave me before I even had time to ask him where he wanted to go.

I was thinking of going to the place where the child center was missing to call him. But I canceled my intention because I remembered what kind of child Lily was. I wasn't sure he would come to me just because he was called. From his hasty reaction it seemed like he had super urgent interests in this place. Then, if he comes, he will protest a lot because he humiliated him.

The only option I had was to comb through this place thoroughly and hope to meet her before it closed.

“Eh? . .”

It's just that the plan suddenly disappeared from my head as soon as I started walking from where I was.

Not far from where I was, I found a little girl who seemed to be waiting for someone. It's just, she's not Lily. Because it doesn't seem like it, the girl I'm seeing right now isn't a child even though she's a small body.

In a hurry, I approached him.

“Lisa!!.”

“Ha. . .Harasa, why are you here?.”

“That's a stupid question! I should have asked that! you're not gonna say that you're skipping because you want to go to the zoo, are you?.”

“Ahaha. . . . occasionally ditching it is okay.”

“ . . . . .”

“Ke-why are you looking at me with such a gaze?..”

“What kind of gaze?.”

“Looks like a person who wants to hit someone.”

“Oooo . . . It looks like you have the talent to be a fortune teller because.”

“Awww. . “

I really hit him. Of course not with a punch like the punch he used to deliver on me. Merely, my punch was still serious enough to make his hard head feel pain. This time I was seriously angry with him.

“Now I feel stupid because I've been a little worried about you.”

“You're worried. . to me?.”

“Of course. . “

He lived alone, if something happened to him no one would have realized and just let it go. The case where someone died in his room and no one knew until there was a pungent smell coming out it was not something strange.

After I finished giving her a lesson, I backed off and tried to see her performance. And at the same time he looked up his head and looked at me with another look. She didn't look angry even though I gave her a pretty painful head. Then in a soft voice he said.

“I'm sorry.”

“. . . .”

He looked at me while putting on a guilty face and moist-looking eyelids. Making my anger that a few seconds ago exploded suddenly disappeared just like that.

What the fuck is this thing? your expression is so cheating. If you put on a face like that how could I possibly be angry?. It seemed like the man was indeed created to be an idiot in front of women.

“Already, so why are you here?.”

There's no way Lisa's just ditching. If he did, there must be a reason that was serious enough that he was willing to withdraw from school when he should have left. I mean, he's the guy whose main goal is now number one in academic matters. Learning should be the top priority.

“Actually I promise to meet someone here.”

“Se-someone. .?.”

My eyes immediately widened.

She skipped school just because she wanted to meet someone? who's? who can make a person be able to bend the priorities of this mini girl?.

“Ka-you want to meet who?.”

“Bu-not anyone?.”

What is nobody?. If he's not ready - why would you bother coming here and leaving the school lessons you used to pursue?. And, what the fuck is that bashful face of yours when it answers me?.

“ . . .”

Don't say. . .

A male?.

This person was even more important than the rankings he had made a target. And this person was even able to make Lisa feel embarrassed just by thinking about it. Anyhow this is a sign that he is waiting for a special person. And that special person is most likely a man.

“Harsa? . .”

His guilty look turned into a confused look as soon as I dissolved in my own mind and became dumbfounded.

“What's Lisa?.”

“What are you doing? why are you suddenly silent? and your face somehow looks pale.”

Lisa raised her right hand and tried to put it on my forehead, but I gently brushed it aside and put her hand away.

“Nothing, I'm just a little hungry. .”

“Do you not have breakfast anymore?. .”

“Ahaha. . . possible. .”

“Maybe? then how. . “

“It's okay! I'm fine.”

“You sure?.”

I always thought Lisa and Romanticism had nothing to do with it. I thought, this super serious girl might not have time to think about love-love issues. And I also thought, there is no way that any other man can have a close relationship with this girl given her pretty harsh personality.

But I think I was wrong.

Just because I can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Lisa is small, but the little girl is just her body. She is no different from me in age, and girls of her normal age are attracted to such matters of love. In addition, unlike me whose circle of friends is very small Lisa has a much wider network of acquaintances, because her communication skills are far above mine.

With that said, she could have had a lot of other close friends out there that I didn't even know her face. And of course, there could have been someone much closer to her than me who had only interacted with her for a few months.

Overrules his personality. Her appearance as a girl was undoubtedly top class. It is not unusual for a man or two to be attracted to her and approach her with romantic goals.

“Um, than that where is the man?.”

“Ba-how did you know that the one I wanted to meet was a boy?.”

Ahh. . so my guess is correct. But somehow I don't feel happy.

“Male intuition.”

Or rather, the additional conclusion of the results from my observation of his appearance. Lisa who is beautiful from there always looks sweet. But this time her appearance was several times prettier than usual.

He was wearing super girly clothes that gave emphasis to his priesthood. In addition, the design and color of the clothes also gives the aura of summer which makes the girl so warm and soft to touch.

Honestly, when I first saw her, I immediately wanted to jump up and hug her. It's just that I can hold myself back for fear of getting beat up by him.

In addition to clothes she also wore women's shoes that seemed complicated to wear, brightly colored accessories that adorned her neck, ears, and hair and thin makeup that I could faintly see on her face.

Judging from wherever it looks exactly like a girl who is going on a date.

“Be-so yes.”

“Um . .”

After that we both kept quiet.

“Ah. .I just remembered, I was looking for someone. . so it looks like I should go first. .”

“Eh ? .”

Don't put on such a confused face. After knowing that you were going to meet a man, of course I could only back off and leave you. Because, if I were that man, there was no way I could be happy when the girl you promised was waiting for you with another man. That's why I have to go.

“Tu-wait a minute. .”

He grabbed my hand to hold me, but just like before. I gently clasped his hand and put it away. It made me feel so guilty that once I did, he showed me the face of a child who had just been kicked out by his parents.

“You promised to meet him alone right, it wouldn't feel good if I interrupted your show.”

As if he had just realized something, he widened his eyes. After that he let me go and took a few steps back.

“You're right too, sorry.”

“It's okay, then I go first.”

“Um. .”

He nodded, and I was escorted away by a weak wave of his hand.

As soon as I separated from Lisa, I immediately returned to combing the location of the cage of the animals in this place one by one while asking for Lily's whereabouts to the people I met.

This place is not crowded considering it is not a holiday, but this place is large and the design is deliberately made complicated so that people who visit it stop by here and there. It was only after almost an hour of wandering around. I finally found Lily.

Who was looking at the panda with a gloomy face.

“What's that moody face of yours? I thought you were here to have fun?.”

I wanted to protest because he left me at will and made me worry, but I guess the atmosphere was not right. Once again, I realized that the creature named woman had a cheat from birth that made it difficult for them to get scolding.

“Sorry to worry.”

So you understand that I'm worried. Something that is not surprising considering he is not stupid. It was just that, under normal circumstances he would not admit his mistake and decided not to care about it.

“What's up?.”

From his behavior it was clear that he was having a problem. And that problem has something to do with his purpose of coming here. The goal that results is failure.

“It's okay, I'm just feeling like an idiot.”

Lily who was full of confidence, cunning thoughts and energy no longer existed. The one in front of me right now was just a weak little girl who seemed to be able to cry at any moment.

“You're not an idiot, the proof is I'm here.”

If he's an idiot, there's no way he can trick me into following his request.

“Kak Harsa alone is stupid.”

“At least I'm not stupid enough to pretend to be okay while showing eyes that are still wet.”

“Kak Harsa. .”

“So, how is the full story. .”

“Yesterday. . .”

Yesterday, her parents said that they could make time for Lily, and for Lily, the time they could set aside was something very precious, Given they both work together and normally can not be at home except when they really need to sleep.

They promised to invite Lily to play and even said they would take her wherever she wanted. But Lily knows that her parents are just corporate slaves who can be sued to do something at any time by her boss. He decided not to be too demanding and only invited the two to go to this place.

A zoo not too far from home. Because basically what he's looking for is not how good a place he can play, but who he goes with.

It was just that, in the morning when he wanted to prepare to leave. He discovered that his parents were preparing to leave. Not to accompany her, but to work. Suddenly they are called to do something and forced to go to work.

With expectations not too great, Lily asked for the continuation of their plan. And unlike he thought, they said that they could still keep up with him and promised to go home early.

“Then why are you facing me?.”

“Will bother if they have to go home first to pick me up right? so I decided to leave first so they could just go straight to her place of work.”

“Lalu. . .”

I used to see her as a selfish little girl with an excess of energy, but it turned out that she harbored this kind of feeling. The feeling of not wanting to bother his parents, the courage to make his own decisions and take risks, then the persistence to continue to think optimistically even though the circumstances around him are not the best.

I think I need to learn from Lily.

“As soon as, I immediately imagined how happy they were after knowing that I was not troublesome, praising me for being a smart kid, and how proud they were of me, he said, then with a happy face like an idiot I called them to say that I was here. . .. but. . . “

They apologized and said they couldn't come because their job took much more time than they thought.

“Then?.”

He's bowing his head.

“What then? have you got there yet? brother Harsa think I can say what if they have said something like that?.”

If suppose my parents promise something and they suddenly can not keep it and then give the word ‘job’ as the reason. I won't be able to say anything. For I have no power over them and vice versa. Besides, the work they do is basically something they have to do to support my life.

That's why I don't have the right to protest.

“Lily, look here.”

He obeyed my orders and showed me his face after rubbing his eyes a few times.

“Ap. .aaa what you did Brother Harsa.”

What the hell am I doing? fretting nose.

“What is your arrogant behavior! don't be a grown-up, you're a kid.”

No right to protest? why do you think of such useless things?. You only need to think about it when you're my age. You're a child, and that child doesn't have to think about adult issues, adult affairs, and adult situations.

“If you want to protest yes protest, if you want to be angry then just angry, even if you want to insult them you should not hesitate to do it because here. . . . there's only me.”

You don't have to be afraid to be selfish, you don't have to force yourself to pretend to understand and act like an adult. Because asking for something that doesn't make sense is something you can only do when you're a kid.

“Kak Harsa. .”

“What?. . “

“You prettily know once.”

“I'm not pretentious, you know but I do know? who do you think was born first?.”

What Lily feels is not something exclusive to her, everyone has experienced it. Me included. And just like it seems, I also tried to continue to be a good boy never tried to fight what my parents dictated. Or rather, my mother.

And now.

I regretted.

I don't want Lily to take my place now when she's my age.

“Kak Harsa. .”

“What. .”

“You won't report on them ka. . n?.”

“Absolutely who can say no to a beautiful girl? I won't report! you can trust me.”

“Then. .”

He lowered his head for a few moments then looked back at me, but this time with an angry face.

“Bodooohh base!!!! you said people had to keep promises but you did? are you idiots!!! you guys say overtime for me? are you guys serious? when did I ever ask you guys to go overtime? when have I ever asked for extra money to buy expensive things? are you sure you're not just looking for your own money? if you guys really love me go home!!! if every day you're only in the office how can I believe that you love me? use your brains!!!! if you're not home how do you know I'm a good boy? what if I have studied hard, how can you know that I su. .had. .”

After that he could not talk anymore, because in the end he decided to stop acting again and become himself.

“Mama. . . Papa. . . don't leave me alone.”

As soon as she could no longer hold back her cries, I hugged her. Under normal circumstances, there was no way this girl would obey and not fight back. But this time, she let me go and cried even harder on my chest.

I'm sure that he'll act arrogant again, act bossy again, and treat me like a fool like he used to.

But it's not a problem.

Which I'll think about later.

Because I'm an idiot.

As soon as Lily stopped crying, we both left this place and started to circle around this place like normal visitors to change the atmosphere. He asked me to come home because the next morning I told him I had some business, but because Lisa was my business. I refused and invited him to play in this place.

I also did not want to waste the tickets we had bought when we entered.

It's just that not long after the two of us were walking, I suddenly found Lisa looking at the bear cage.

By ourselves.

I wanted to avoid it, but it seemed like he saw me first and waved his hand at me. In this situation there is no way I can just run away because our views had met. With heavy steps, I lead Lily to Lisa's place.

“Who is Harsa?.”

“Just a cute little boy who manawaawaawa. . .”

Before I could finish my talk, Lily nudged my waist hard and introduced herself. In return, Lisapun introduced himself and told me that he was my classmate and made Lily gaping without being able to comment for a while.

Oi! don't blatantly put on such a surprised face!!!.

“By the way why are you alone? is that guy leaving?.”

Lisa looked at me and smiled and said.

“Ahaha. . It seems like he has other affairs so he cannot come here.”

He smiled, he laughed, and he put on a face as if everything was fine. But I've read enough manga to know that the smile she gave me was unbelievable.

In other words.

I just found another fake promise victim.

“Lisa. .”

“What?.”

“If you don't mind, how about you come with us?.”

“Harsa. . . is it okay?.”

“Of course!.”

I didn't give him a chance to think and immediately reached for his hand to pull.

That day the three of us played in the zoo together until the afternoon.

“Finally this brat's energy runs out too.”

After almost a day of playing this and that while tugging at me and Lisa, Lily finally felt exhausted and asked to go home. And as soon as we exited the zoo, Lily immediately opened her arms wide and asked me to crouch down. And then he popped into my back and slept in there like a koala.

“If you're tired I can replace you.”

I was tired, considering that in this place I was their errand boy. Buy something, scramble game tickets for them, keep the queue posts we get when they go to the toilet, make sure they are not squashed by other visitors in crowded places, and much more.

I promised Lily to help her, but it seemed like the help I had to give her scoop was too wide until the boy could just exploit me.

“No need, you're tired too right?.”

My ankle feels a little sore, and to be honest my energy seems to be very low. But I can't hand Lily over to Lisa, because just like me she should also be tired after accompanying Lily to play all day. Besides, since her posture is not much different from Lily's, I'm sure that carrying her won't be easy.

“After all if you get shorter how?.”

Lisa put on an angry face, but after seeing Lily who was behind me she sighed and smiled instead. I don't know what she's thinking, but at least I can use Lily as a shield because it looks like Lisa doesn't want to wake her up.

“Harsa, thank you.”

“For?.”

“For many things.”

“As?.”

“Makes my truant day so fun.”

“Thank you to Lily, but please don't get hooked.”

“Of course. . ah . . . as a thank you how about I buy something?. .”

“No need to rep. .”

“I go first. .”

Lisa ran into a mini market before I could finish talking. And after waiting for a few minutes, the girl finally came out while carrying a few cans of drink while running towards me.

“Aww. . .”

Made him almost fall because he tripped the sidewalk. Luckily, the girl had a super-fast reflex so she didn't get to the ground. But the drink cans and wallet he still held were thrown into his hands.

“You are really careless, fortunately no truck-kun passed by.”

“Ma-sorry.”

In a rather difficult position I reached out my hand to her to help her stand up. After that I picked up the can of drink that rolled towards me with a completely no easy effort. Remembering on my back there are people I can't let fall.

That's when I saw him.

“What person are you waiting for that him?.”

I saw a picture in Lisa's wallet. A photo contains a picture of Lisa looking at the camera while putting on a sloppy face, and a man sitting behind her while hugging her body and sticking his cheek on the little girl.

The man in the photo looks much older than Lisa. Her face had a nice shape, good enough to make the female students in my class kya-kya when they saw her. His expression looks friendly. It was friendly enough that I could imagine that there would be a bling-bling effect as he spoke.

In general he looks like a grown man in his twenties. Maybe he's a college student or even already working.

“. . . Be-so.”

Lisa immediately panicked and immediately took her purse and kept it in her purse.

“So why didn't he come!?.”

“Har-sa?.”

“I asked, why didn't he come?.”

“Why are you angry?.”

“I'm not angry! so why doesn't he datasww.”

As soon as my tone was about to rise another octave, I suddenly felt something just hit me from behind. And of course, that something was Lily who pretended to be asleep again as soon as I looked towards her.

“Sorry Lisa. . I seem to be a little tired. . “

“It's okay.”

I tried to distract myself by drinking the drink he bought me. But when I wanted to do it, I just realized that my hand was not free and I could not open the can. Realizing my predicament, Lisa approached me and opened the lid for me.

It's just.

“Hah. . . lt's already. .”

I can't drink it. Of course if forced I can do it. But if I push myself, the Lily on my back will be pushed back and fall. That's why I gave up.

“Don't give up so quickly, here give me the drink.”

As he ordered, I gave my drink to Lisa.

“Now stand on your knees.”

“Ha?.”

“According to only.”

I went back and put one knee on the asphalt. Thereafter.

“Now aaa. .”

He handed me a can of drink he had placed on me.

“You're not serious right?.”

“Aaaa. .”

“Listen to me!!.”

“Aaaaa.”

He did not listen to me and continued to thrust the can of drink in his hand into my mouth with a face full of smiles.

“Alright. . . .”

I put my mouth on the lip of the can of the drink he poured out and drank the contents. After gulping it down a few times, I gave Lisa a sign to pull it. As soon as I saw me finish drinking, he immediately nodded and returned smiling as if he had just succeeded in forcing a child who did not want to take medicine.

The talent of these little girls to force people to do what they want is too high. I hope that their future husbands will not be made slaves. But, given how beautiful these girls will be in the future, I think that maybe being their slave is not a bad thing.

Wait-wait!! something's wrong with my otaku.

“Good son.”

Then, just like Lily Lisapun patted the top of my head like a child.

Putting aside the shame I had to endure when passers-by looked at me with a strange look. The thing Lisa did managed to make the atmosphere between us so light again. And once the situation was normal, I was finally able to continue with the previous topic.

“So my question earlier, do you mind answering it. . . Lisa.”

“Ah .the reason is not coming? there are far more important things for him to come to than me.”

“More important?.”

“That's ahahaha. .”

How can you talk about what he's done with a face like that? how can you still laugh like that?. You're not seriously really forgiving him, are you? you're actually angry. You're just acting strong just like Lily, right?.

“Are you not angry?.”

“Anged? wh why? unlike me he has a lot more important responsibilities and those responsibilities concern a lot of people! that's why if you have to choose which is more important of course he will choose his job.”

“You, seriously?.”

“Your question is really hard to answer eheheh. . maybe a little, but, from the beginning he asked me to meet because he happened to have an event near here, so actually I was just a side destination heheh. .”

Don't laugh anymore. How can you laugh after calling yourself a mere ‘side destination’?. It's true that you can no longer whine like Lily, but that doesn't mean you need to cover up your upset feelings.

Or, are you serious about really being able to forgive her?. Aren't you a hobbyist who imposes your will on others? why did you just give up? why don't you nag her? why didn't you force her to come?. Is it because you're scared? is it because you're embarrassed? or because . . .

“You're a great girl Lisa, don't lower your own grades.”

“No, all I can do is learn! when it comes to great problems he is much better than me.”

From the way Lisa describes it the person is a smart person, besides that it also seems to have a pretty high and important position. I often hear that women prefer more mature and established men, but I did not expect that this little girl had any future plans so far.

With someone else.

“. . . .”

I held my chest.

“There's what Harsa.”

“Nothing . .”

“You're serious? your face looks pale.”

“I'm just tired, and hungry, and want to sleep. . because that's how fast it goes.”

I pulled Lisa's hand hard towards the bus stop. I want to go home soon.

No. gabe. That's not.

I don't want to hear Lisa talk about that person anymore even though I started it.

“Um. .”

He said he walked along trying to keep up with my footsteps. A few minutes later we reached the bus stop and went straight to the bus. And once inside, I headed straight to the back seat with Lisa. After putting Lily's body between the two of us, I immediately regained my senses and closed my eyes.

“Idiot.”

I'm a real idiot.

“Harsa! wake up!.”

“Ah. .”

As soon as I woke up, I found Lisa who was patting my cheeks slowly while putting on a worried face.

“Harsa, it looks like we are keblasan.”

Huh huh? what keblasan. I didn't stay at your house and forgot to go home, did I?.

“Harsa!!! quickly down!!.”

This time Lisa patted me on the cheek harder. Or more accurately said, slapped me firmly until the otaku who was still half asleep immediately woke up.

“Where is this?.”

“I don't know, I also just woke up.”

So the one who overslept was not just me.

“Let's just relax, I pretty much memorized this bus line.”

We can stay on the bus and wait for this bus to turn around again, but it will take a long time. We could have gone home that night because of it. That's why I looked at the window and looked at the places around us to determine where we were.

“No problem, we just missed a few blocks from my house.”

“True.’

The distance from the next stop to my house is not nearly the same as the distance I live with the school. In other words, we can still go home on foot.

“Help me lift Lily, we get off in front.”

“Um. .”

I lowered my body in front of Lily who was still sleeping soundly, after which Lisa lifted the little girl's body and placed it on my back. That way, we got off as soon as the bus we were riding stopped.

“I think tomorrow I'll truant.”

Today I am really tired, if no one wakes me up maybe I will fall asleep until noon says my two brothers no one can be expected to get up early.

“You brought your house keys?.”

“Bawa? why?.”

“Lend me later! I wake you tomorrow.”

“I will install many alarms!!!.”

In the past, when I was Junior High and had no habit of waking up early. I set up many alarms with different sound clocks with a difference of five to ten minutes. The first alarm would wake me up to turn it off, at which point I would look at the time and usually decide to go back to sleep. The second alarm will make me realize that I have to wake up and show how much time I have left until I have to leave. Usually, at this stage I also still decide to sleep again. And the last alarm was a sign that I couldn't relax and had to rush to get up.

“Good then.”

“You yourself aren't tired?.”

“Humph. . If it's just this soon is not a problem at all.”

“Serious?. . . I've just been so tired.”

“I have undergone a thousand trials and obstacles before entering High School, because that's why my mental and physical are trained.”

“Since when did you become a mischievous ape who had to accompany a monk in search of scriptures?.”

Besides, what is it because your body is still small like this? If so, I should thank the person who gave you the ordeal. Because that's why your punches don't hurt as much as they should. If you're bigger, I'm a little unsure that I won't go home battered every day.

I tried stroking her head, but she dodged me and gave me a look that said ‘don't treat me like a little boy’

“Crieve it or not, I was a super naughty boy if you messed with me I don't mind being naughty anymore.”

From my point of view, you haven't changed at all. I mean, your threats to me, the extra lessons you give every day, and then your orders that I can't refuse can all be included in the ‘ naughty actions’ category. In other words, for the past few months I've been a victim of your bullying.

But.

Putting aside her treatment of me that was similar to someone who had a grudge, Lisa's behavior at school could not be called bad at all. Quite the contrary. He was familiar with many people, he was relied upon by teachers, and had even been considered like a mascot by the people in my class.

“I'm a little hard to imagine.”

“Imagine what?.”

“You wear sunglasses while smoking and ask me for money.”

On the other hand I could easily imagine him putting on a powerful face while having me serve him.

“You really asked to be beaten.”

I slightly raised my hands to indicate that I was giving up and we both walked back.

After sleeping on the bus, my mind was already a bit plump and now had no more problems talking to Lisa as usual. On second thought, my reaction earlier was really stupid. I mean, why should I panic and be confused? lisa and I have no special relationship. So I should have been acting normal.

On the contrary, I should be happy. With the existence of people who are ready to take him away, it means that the future where I will continue to be disturbed is no longer there. Even if I can't beat him until graduation, I only need to hold back for three years to be free of him.

In addition, if he has a lot of events outside it means I will have a lot of free time that I can use at will.

“Lisa. .”

Ok, I give up. I lied.

“Aa-what are you doing?.”

“I'm holding your hand.”

Imagine you put on a happy face when with other men is not at all funny. Imagining you leaving after your business is done is not fun at all.

“I know but w-why?.”

“Because I want to do it?.”

Today as soon as you don't leave I realize. I seem to have depended on you a lot. Not only that, I feel that the class in which there is no you are really arid. I always complain when you leave, but when you're not around I feel restless.

“A-what's wrong with you?.”

His face instantly became red as soon as I held his hand, besides that he also tried to rebel. But I didn't let go at all. Instead, I tightened my grip onto his palm. If I'm serious, I can always beat him in terms of power but since he rarely seriously attacks me, I never get serious.

“Nothing.”

“What's nothing, today you're really weird. .”

“Maybe.”

“Did you eat wrong this morning?.”

And the cause of all that is a much simpler thing than just eating wrong.

I think I'm in love with this little girl.

How come?.

Answer's easy!. Because I'm, like Lily said. Idiots. How can you not think of anything when there is a sweet girl who always tries to stick to you?. What man is unhappy when a beautiful girl is nearby?.

Besides, basically the one who paid the most attention to me was Lisa. The reason why he gave me attention was more likely just a side effect of his main goal of being number one in school. But even so, he is the person closest to me right now is the reality.

That's why this idiot started to have strange feelings for her, had delusions and hopes that ‘maybe she likes me’ towards Lisa.

“It doesn't matter, than that how about we talk about something else. . ah. . like how can you meet him?.”

Many say that first love will not be realized. It's just that I didn't expect that the ship I wanted to ride on had sunk even before sailing.

“With Him?.”

That's why, before I really couldn't let go. I had to force myself to get rid of this feeling, forget about it, and move on and get our relationship back the same as before. Before I realized that I had special feelings for her.

“Male whose photo is in your wallet.”

And one way is to swallow all the harsh facts that say I don't stand a chance.

“How? I don't know but that's obvious once I can remember something she already exists. .. . or even arguably once I open her eyes she's already near me.”

“So from small you guys are already together.”

You got too much flaaaaaggg!!!.

“Of course, we live together?.”

“Therefore we also play together, eat together, sleep together. .”

“Wait-wait-wait-wait!!! you live with her? I think there's something weird here! didn't your parents protest?.”

“Why should anyone protest?.”

“I mean!! the important thing is please don't tell me that you've had a bath together. .”

“. . . .”

“Why are you silent while putting on a face like that Lisa?.”

“You told me not to say it yourself.”

“You seriouslysssss. . . . .!!!.”

Have you ever taken a shower together?.

“Cu-free when we were little.”

Of course I know. But what we're talking about here is Lisa. The girl whose growth seemed to stop when she entered Junior High. In other words, her appearance when she ‘still small’ and her current appearance is not much different.

“ . . . . . . .”

Although I used to say that Lisa was small, I didn't mean skinny. There was no problem with her proportions, in other words she was just a pretty girl in mini size. If it has to be compared to something, I think it's like a cat. His body was as graceful as their bigger brother but in mini size.

“Harsa!! you're imagining it, aren't you? you're imagining me naked right?.”

“No, no, no! I'm just admiring your uniqueness!.”

“You think I'm a rare animal?.”

When it comes to rare issues, I think girls like you are rare.

“Ahah. . You said that you were different, what made you change also him.”

“Um. .”

Geh . . It felt like my chest had just been pierced by something.

“How can it be?.”

“Already. . . I don't want to talk about it anymore.”

Perhaps this topic was too embarrassing for him, it seemed from his completely red face.

Normally, I would have said it if he had put on such a face. But my selfish times have not passed. I still don't want to let him escape my introductions just like that. Because the results of the interrogation are important to me. Because that info is what I need to be able to give up quickly.

“Ayolah. . No harm in chatting while walking right?.”

“I don't want to chat such topics!!.”

“I want. .”

“Harsa, you're really weird. . “

“Any that other word is unique.”

“ . . . . .”

He did not reply to me and walked faster, and of course I followed him immediately by walking faster. After I caught up with him, of course he tried to leave me again. It continued until we were both half running. It's just that, because I carried an extra weight on my back the distance between us got further and further. Far enough away until Lisa had enough room to give me a triumphant smile at me that was behind her.

And when he doesn't see.

“Ugh. .”

He failed to stop when suddenly there was someone coming out of a passageway then bumped into that person quite violently.

“Hoii!!.”

And the one he hit was a tall young man with a burly body who I wish was Yamada-kun or Hasegawa kodaka because they just looked like sangar.

“Sorry, I didn't accidentally.”

“Ha? not intentionally?.”

From the look on the face of the person he hit, it seemed like this small matter would not be resolved with just an apology. And as if to support my prediction, two other rogues appeared from earlier and began to swarm Lisa who now looked like a rabbit in the midst of a wolf crowd.

“So I didn't look forward, I'm sorry.”

Lisa bowed her body to show her guilt, but just as before it seemed like no one wanted to accept her apology.

“I don't care, obviously you've hit me, if an apology is enough to solve everything no one will need a cop! so you have to make restitution!.”

Finally appeared alsoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! I thought they were gonna find a reason to poke Lisa. But I had absolutely no idea that they would use that legendary phrase!!.

“Aircraft.”

If I were to be the one I would just give up and give away the money I have given that I am outnumbered. But I can't imagine Lisa going to be quiet and just obey when she's at the cross.

“Ha? indemnity? what compensation?.”

“You don't see that my hand is bruised?.”

The young man showed his bruised right hand, but even fools knew that the cause was not a collision from Lisa. And of course the little girl knew, that's why she could only look at the young man with a look ‘are you serious!’.

“Because that's why quickly give me compensation!. .”

“You. .”

“I don't need your opinion! quickly just remove ua. .”

“Wait a minute, wait a minute! you guys don't seriously want to peal a kid right?.”

“Who are you.”

“I'm her brother!.”

I pulled Lisa up and placed her behind me, after which I wiggled the little girl on my back for her to wake up.

“Then are you the one who will compensate me?.”

“I don't mind, I'll give you as much as anything.”

Lisa pulled my sleeve and tried to talk, but I closed her mouth and encouraged her to stay behind me.

“Good then, now ber. .”

“Original less than 50k.”

“You want to mess with ya.”

“No, I'm serious.”

Because the money in my pocket is just that, and that's a lot of dime. If this troublesome thing can be solved just by giving them the abuse I have no objection at all.

“Oo o. o. no problem, instead how about we invite your sister to play together? I promise I'll drive her home tomorrow.”

After that they looked at each other while putting on a vulgar smile. It was a vulgar smile that made me think that they had seen cheap movies too often. Because their acting is really cheap considering all the sentences they use are basic templates.

“Yes, you may look sad but it turns out that you like little children, are you not ashamed when you bring them home?.”

“I get it, so you asked to get beat up.”

“No! absolutely not! I just want you guys to quickly get out of here and stop seeing my sister with your rotten eyes!.”

“Hars-sa.”

I can also be angry, I can still tolerate that they are just asking for money. But if they want Lisa to do anything else. Maybe you guys won the amount, but I'm sorry I won the resolution. And in bullying, resolution is most important.

“. . . .”

“Why silence? are you guys scared?.”

“Bass!!.”

“By the way if you dare to come forward I will call the police, Lily!!.”

“Siap!.”

Of course I have no intention of fighting with all of them, I have two people who need to be protected whereas they just need to attack. Judging from wherever my position is not at all favorable, that's why I can only threaten.

And I have a pretty effective threat device, Lily's safety alarm, which she's ready to turn on when I give her the sign.

“You know what you should do if you don't want to get into trouble right?.”

If they are smart enough, at a time like this what they need to do should be clear. Go and let us go because the risk to be stubborn and push yourself is too big.

“Just like that? just like that? if we finish beating you before anyone comes there is no problem right?.”

Merely, it seemed like the three of them were graduates of C class from an elite school who were too stupid to be able to read the atmosphere. Instead of being afraid, they grew bolder thinking that all I could do was bluff.

Wrong, all I can do is bluff.

“Lily, down! Lisa, take Lily to a crowded place!.”

“Harsa. .”

“Don't ask too many questions!! you two just be liabilities now so just obey and leave here.”

If the people in front of me seriously want to play rough, I can't let Lily stay here. Maybe Lisa's belawan, and maybe he could be strong but the question is do I want if he got hurt?. The answer is of course not! absolutely not!. That's why I need both of them to go and focus on seeking help.

“Ooo want to be a hero?.”

“Not stupid! I'm just doing my job.”

I've never been a big brother, but my experience as a sister tells me that a big brother has three main tasks. Adhere to his sister's unreasonable request, avenge the person who misbehaved at them, and the latter of course is.

“Protect them from people like you!!!.”

Lisa let go of my hand, but I could still feel her gaze on my back. After that, he said . . .

“Kak Igna. .”

With a soft voice before pulling Lily to leave.

8

“Awawa. . . . .”

“Hold a little. . ..”

“How about you treat my wound a little more gently.”

“Do not crybaby.”

“Awawaw . . .”

After Lisa and Lily left, as I thought the three delinquents in front of me were trying to chase after them. And of course I don't let them do it. To hinder them I had to fight back, and the result was that now I had a bruise on my hand, blood coming out of my lips, and also a cell phone that could no longer be used.

“After all, from the beginning why did you have to fight them? I thought you were the one who would rather escape than advance injured.”

“If you guys aren't around, I've been running around.”

“Your confession calms me down a bit, but the fact that you didn't run away still makes me angry.”

“Sorry. .”

After that we both fell silent. He knows that what he's demanding of me is absurd considering that I'm gone those who will be targets. And on the other hand I also know that Lisa's demands she made with my thoughts of safety in them.

“Ahem!!. . You guys didn't forget that I'm still here right?.”

“Ah. .”

“Ah. .”

After hearing Lily's scream, Lisa and I immediately faced Lily who was putting on an upset face because her whereabouts had disappeared from our brains.

“Already, at least we are all safe, thank me.”

“Thank you!!.”

“Thank you!!”

Lily put on a proud face as soon as Lisa and I bowed our bodies to her.

As he said, the savior is the little girl. His talent for attracting attention and forcing people to comply with his requests with his top celebrity acting class was able to lure many people to come to my place a few minutes after he left.

Lisa originally wanted a security guard to take her to where I was, but because she didn't memorize this area her efforts didn't work. At that time Lily proposed to ask for help to people who were on the street only.

I heard he cried loudly like a child who tortured his parents to attract attention. And as soon as she gets noticed, she forces Lisa to follow her and puts on a parsimonious face while saying that their sister is being beaten up by a bad person.

That way, they managed to gather some people who had pity on them and wanted to help. After that they came to my place while carrying many people like a macho man who had arms as big as my feet, a horde of yellow helmeted men with brown skin, and also a few others who seemed clear in a hurry left their jobs to comply with Lily's request.

In normal situations, people who see several teenagers fighting each other on the street will immediately assume that they are all delinquents whose work is troublemaking. But this time another case, with the presence of Lisa and Lily the image that appears is an older brother who wants to protect his two younger siblings is in trouble.

Seeing the situation change, the three delinquents who tried to gang up on me immediately tried to escape but the three of them were easily caught because some people had already blocked their escape.

After showing our gratitude to all of them, we decided to go home immediately on the grounds that we did not want to make our parents worry. Which immediately greeted the moved expressions of some people.

“But by the way you're really great Lily.”

“Of course.”

“When you came I thought you weren't acting, your tear-filled face was absolutely reassuring. . .”

When he came while being led by the macho man I mentioned earlier, his eyes still looked red and on his cheeks there were still many tears flowing. If I had their position I was sure that I wouldn't be able to refuse his request for help either.

Even now, his eyes still looked moist.

“Te-of course, in the future I want to be a top actress.”

“Smart child.”

I stroked her head, and perhaps in shame Lily took her eyes off me. On the other hand, for some reason Lisa looked at me with a look like I was the dumbest person in the world.

“What's Lisa?.”

“Nothing, I just thought you were a real idiot.”

“Heh? wh why? I did what?.”

“Already, than that I'm more surprised how you only get small injuries like this even though you fight three people.”

“At Junior High I had time to take extra piano and calligraphy.”

“Ha?”

“Ah, wrong calligraphy and painting.”

“What's the connectionaaa!!!???.”

“Nothing, I just want to feel what it's like to be a genius student pretending to be stupid.”

“You. . . . Now suddenly I'm the one who wants to beat you up!!.”

“I'm sorry.”

But what I said was all right, when SMP I did follow all the extras or rather had time to try all the additional activities. Because both of my brothers have many achievements in academics, I also want to get achievements that I can be proud of both my parents. That's why I tried many additional programs to find a place where my talents were.

It's just that since I don't seem to have any polished talent, I ended up getting out of all that extra activity. One of them is martial arts. It's just that since I've learned the basics, I can at least put up a little resistance and prevent me from getting seriously injured.

“So all this time you can fight.”

“Volunteer? against what?.”

“Against this.”

Lisa hit my chest slowly. After that he gave me a sad look.

“I always fight you seriously, even if not physically.:

The agreement between us is that anyone who scores a test or test has the right to give any order to a person of lesser value.

“For that reason, just prepare to receive my revenge.”

At first Lisa put on a confused face, but then she smiled at me.

“Why are you smiling so, the material this time is quite difficult and for people who are truant like you your chance of winning from me is small.”

“Hmph!! just so you know Harsa! I've studied all the material until next semester.”

In seriously? have you studied that much material? when did you do it? don't tell me that coming home from school you're marathon and studying again until you go to sleep. If so, I think you should reduce the intensity of your study. The brain needs a lot of energy to work. What if the energy you need to get higher is used up by your brain?. Don't you mind being short forever?.

“I don't know what you're thinking, but obviously you're looking at me with a disrespectful look.”

“Just how you feel. . By the way who did you call before you left?”

“You-you heard it?.”

“Um. . Other than that why did you call him?.”

“Kak Igna. . He's my older brother, and you remind me of him.”

“How can it be?.”

“He also often says stupid things like you!.”

“When I want to meet him.”

“She's a busy person so I don't know when you'll have a chance to see her.”

“So yes. .”

Big brother yeah, I always thought Lisa was an only child. Because her behavior is very similar to Lily who is indeed an only child. Have a tendency to do things on their own but know their limits, are selfish but have a tolerance that is not normally shown, and their ability to impose their will on someone who is really high.

“Just I had a little trouble imagining his appearance. .”

“IMagine? haven't you seen him?.”

“Hah? I don't think we've ever met.”

“You have never met, but you have seen it.”

“Where?.”

“In my wallet.”

“Ooo. . So she's your sister. .”

“I thought you knew?.”

“Of course not. . eh? wait up!!! the person you were with in the photo was your brother?.”

“Um.”

“Se-seriously?.”

“Why should I lie?.”

“. . . “

“Harsa?.”

I stood up and walked away from Lily and Lisa, after which I held my head using both hands. Later then.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. .”

Stupid!, stupid!, stupid!, stupid!, stupid!, stupid!, stupid!, stupid!, embarrassing!, embarrassing!, embarrassing!, embarrassing!, embarrassing!, embarrassing!, embarrassing!. I want to dig a hole and get into it right now!!!!.

“Kak Harsa!.”

Lily, who seemed to know what I was thinking, gave her thumb to me with a smile.

“You why Harsa? does anyone hurt?.”

“No problem, I just remembered that I'm an idiot.”

“Ha? What's wrong with Harsa?.”

“Kak Harsa is only relieved because it turns out Lisa's sister is still singmmmmmmm.”

Before Lily could finish her sentence, I managed to silence the little girl's mouth. It's just that Lily bit my finger and ran away and took cover behind Lisa, whispering something into her ear.

And after that. .

“Pa-pa-pa-girlfriend? I don't have anything like that! I don't have time to think of such a thing!!.”

After that Lisa looked at me with a questioning look and to answer it I could only take my eyes elsewhere.

“How can you think up to it?.”

“Of course Brother Harsa thinks so, I'm sure that your appearance is other than the usual brother Harsa see and seen from wherever sister Lisa looks like a girl going on a date.”

“I just don't want to make my brother shy when he comes, is your appearance too conspicuous?.”

“Not at all, you're beautiful, if Lisa's sister often shows this beauty to sister Harsa I'm sure she won't misunderstand again later.”

After that Lisa looked at me with a questioning look. And I, just like before could only take my eyes off to another place. Because there's no way I can confirm Lily's conclusion.

It's true that I don't mind if Lisa looks well in front of me, but there's no way I'll blatantly say ‘ dress up for me!’. Am I ready?.

“I think we need to go home quickly, soon it will be dark.”

When you don't know what to do, the safest option is to run away.

“Ahh. . I'll be home alone, Brother Harsa between course sister Lisa.”

“Heh? wh why? what if there's someone like them again?.”

“Um! I agree with Harsa, I think it'll be safer if we take you first.”

“Not to worry, in this area everyone is my friend! if there is a problem all will immediately rush to come to me!.”

“Are you sure Lily?.”

“Yakin! you were never kidnapped by people as a child, right, sister Harsa?.”

I'm still a little worried, but it's true that the area around our house is safe. At least until now. So I guess letting Lily go home on her own isn't a problem, rather than the little girl I'm more worried about the little girl who just wiped the blood off my mouth.

His house is still quite far away and it is likely that he will only be until when it is dark. I didn't know the security situation there so I wanted to drive Lisa to her front door.

“Alright then.”

“I go home first Brother Hars. . “

“Wait a minute!.”

“What?.”

“If you're asked questions by both your parents, just say that I brought you.”

“Kak Harsa . . . You. .”

Lily is smart, I'm sure she understands what my orders mean. If he says I brought him in, suppose his parents are angry because he came home very late, which would be the main suspect is me. That way Lisa shouldn't be sacked by both.

“Don't act cool!!.”

“Eh?. . .”

I thought he would just agree right away, I mean he could make me a scapegoat and get away with his parents' nagging. It's just that he seems to have other thoughts.

“If they dare to nag me, will nag them back.”

Lily gave me a very sweet smile before running towards her house, and the me she stayed with could only laugh.

“You talk about what?.”

“Nothing! let's go.”

9

After realizing that all the bad estimates I made were just a misunderstanding, I now know that I still have a chance. So, what steps should I take next?.

Nothing, for all I wouldn't do anything different and interact with him as usual. My feelings for Lisa, for now I think it would be better if this little girl didn't know.

Because as he had said before, he did not have time to think about love-love issues. If I were to express my feelings to her it would only be a bully of her efforts to become number one. And I don't want the dreams of the girl I like to be disturbed because of my selfishness.

I'll wait until I feel like I deserve it. The current me will only be a burden, which is why I will wait a little longer.

“Harsa, why are you dumbassing again?.”

“Bu-nothing!.”

Lied to!! all the reasons I mentioned were lies. I just don't want to ruin the relationship we have right now. I didn't want him to stay away from me because I shot him in the chest. I was afraid that he would no longer look at me.

“Take the way how about we chat, your house is still far away too right?.”

“Chat? chat what topic?.”

“Your sister!.”

“Why did the topic go back to it?.”

“Because I want to know what kind of person your sister is.”

“Why do you want to know?.”

“For future preparation.”

“Preparation of the future? what kind of preparation?.”

“Forget my answer!! I'm obviously curious about your brother! from the way you talk about the person who made you change your brother, right? maybe I can learn something from him.”

“Learn?. .”

It seems like the word learn managed to lure him.

“Alright then, my brother is basically a person you can call a genius.”

“Jenius . .”

To me, that word has another meaning. And the other meaning is, pain.

After that, Lisa began to tell about her brother who from childhood was able to do many things even before the others could do anything. How he was able to get so many achievements in so many fields, and how everyone was so proud of him.

Briefly, her brother's position was basically not much different from my brother's current position. And from the way this little girl beside me told me about it, her position was also not much different from my previous position. Under the shadow of our older brother.

It's just something weird.

“Hey Lisa, don't you hate your sister?.”

“Hah? why should I hate him?.”

The difference is, when talking about how great his older brother is he puts on a happy and proud face. Not a face hurt and lost. Far different from me who always felt that my two brothers were enemies who had made my life so bad.

“I mean, are you never compared to him? insulted while failing to imitate him, labeled incompetent when unable to do what he can, and only considered as a worse version of kaka. . .”

“Harsa. .”

As soon as I spoke without pause, Lisa held my hand and looked at me with a worried look.

“You look pale again. .”

“My position and your position should not be much different, but how can you still talk about your older brother with such a happy face?

“Harsa why would you ask such a thing?. .”

“. . . . I'm sorry. . I.”

Since birth I have been a comparison by my mother to my two brothers. And because they are people born with special gifts, everything I do is always worthless. Because if I could do something, my two brothers would have done better. On the other hand, what my two brothers did was something I could only imagine to be able to achieve.

Before two years ago, I was always trying to catch up with them, try to climb the level they were at, and replicate what they were doing. Because I used to think, as long as you work hard enough you can do anything. And if I succeed, then Ibukupun will say that I am also a great son.

But unfortunately, people who have talent are other. They are on another level than ordinary people like me. A lot of the effort I put in just resulted in failure, and like an investor who no longer had any expectations many people started to leave me because I felt that I no longer had the opportunity, the ability, the ability, or the energy to be able to go ahead and get results.

That's when I gave up and stopped trying.

You can't lose if you don't go to war. With that motto, I began to only focus on pursuing minimum grades to avoid being compared to my two older brothers who were far above the clouds.

“Harsa. . All the things you told me were normal. .”

They've worked so much harder than us, they've done it so much longer than me or you. Because it is normal that they are better than us, it is normal that we who start later are left behind from them.

“Harsa, when you work hard first! who are you doing it for?.”

“For whom?. .”

After some thought for whom did I work that hard? for my mother to have her confess me? for people I don't even know so they don't compare me to my two brothers? or I just want revenge on everyone who underestimated me.

“I learn for myself, I work hard for myself, I want to be a great person like[thank my brother for my own sake. .”

That's why he doesn't care about the outside scorn he receives. Because their opinions are pointless, meaningless, unimportant, and clearly need not be thought of. His life is his, whatever he wants to achieve is his personal right. He felt no obligation to follow the opinions of others who did not know how hard he had tried.

“After you know for whom, for what you fight all you need to do is focus on it!.”

“But my wish is only the purpose of koto. .”

“It makes no difference, no effect, the most important thing is the result. . . You want revenge? no problem! you want to show off? no problem! you want to embarrass others? just do it!.”

“Lisa . .”

“Everything is unimportant except results, no! even the result is actually not too important because. .”

“Cause?. .”

“While you or I failed, my brother is still my brother, your brother is still your brother, I am still his sister, and you are still their sister, we are all still brothers.”

“Ah. . .”

I don't know what to say. But at least I now know that I'm basically just a little whiny kid who's gonna cry just because somebody else said I was bad at doing things. I'm just a weak man who can't stand the pressure. My mentality is less harsh.

What happened to me had absolutely nothing to do with how great my two brothers were or how stupid I was. All the bad things I had a few years behind were just a result of I didn't have a heart as big as Lisa's.

“Lisa. .”

“What?.”

“Pidatomu really sounds an idiot!!.”

“Hmph. .”

But even so, his idiot speech was strong enough to make me realize something very simple.

If you fail you just need to try again, if the way you use does not work you just change the method, and if there are noisy dogs on the side of the road throw let them bark.

“Ahahahaha. . . . somehow I feel like an idiot. . ugh. .”

I felt that Lisa was watching me, but I couldn't look back because I was putting on a face that I didn't want to show her.

“Harsa. .”

It's just that even though I've dodged her she managed to get close to me and see the tears I was trying to hide from her.

“Don't peek at me!.”

And that way, I hugged Lisa so she couldn't see me.

“H-Ha-Harsa. . What are you doing?.”

“I'm hugging you stupid!!.”

“Let go of me. .”

“No want!.”

For a while Lisa kept trying to fight back, but it seems he decided that the mood was not right and finally gave up and hugged me back while saying ‘cup-cup-cup’ like being silenced by a little child that his mother left behind.

Normally I would protest to be treated like a child, but this time it came out of my mouth. .

“Thank you. .”

10

As soon as I finished driving Lisa home, I immediately went back to my own house in a hurry. The main reason was because I didn't want to be greeted by my mother's nagging when she came home and the second reason was because I wanted to see my two brothers immediately and asked. .

“Harsa, what's wrong with your body?.”

“Why are you here Brother Hany?.”

The place where we met was still pretty far from home so I was kind of surprised how he was here, considering he didn't bring anything that looked like groceries.

“Of course waiting for you, I'm a bit worried because you still haven't come home until this afternoon!.”

“Sorry.”

For Brother Hany already knows where I'm going so there is no introration process.

“Then why you . . . Never mind, the important thing is you survived.”

“Thank you.”

“Don't go that far, if you have a problem leave it to onee-chan!.”

“Entah why my image of sister Hany so many who began to fade.”

Besides, I just found out that you love watching anime about cute girls working in cafes. Maybe, sometime we need to watch together. And I hope he doesn't have a problem with fanservice.

“What kind of Image are you talking about Harsa?.”

“Image if my two brothers are perfect, and besides cooking, you can do anything.”

“What is that stupid image? Where is there such a person? You read too much shoujou manga!.”

“Ahahah right, my image of you guys is indeed really stupid.”

And because of that stupid image, I thought that they were not ordinary people, not people who deserved to interact with me, and also people whose distance I needed to keep from me. Because of all that, our relationship became dry and almost like a stranger.

Because of that stupid thing I forgot something simple that I should always remember.

Like Lisa said.

Whatever happens, I am their sister and they are my brother. Until whenever that doesn't change.

“Kak Hany want no ice cream?.”

Because too many things have happened, I forgot that I still have the ice cream I bought for Lily.

“Thank you, ah I so remember first.”

“Follow?.”

“Yes, do you remember not that the one who usually has the task of buying ice cream for all of us is me?.”

“Ahhh was right too, and . .”

Anna's sister had a duty to be our supervisor, while my job was to bring trouble for the three of us and make our mother scold the three of us for coming home in dirty clothes.

After walking for a few minutes while remembering our pleasant memories that turned out to be a lot, finally my sister and I arrived home. Then, just before we entered, I stopped Brother Hany.

“Kak Hany, I'm sorry for what I've done so far.”

To apologize.

Over the past two years how many unpleasant acts have I shown my two brothers? I don't know, but obviously the numbers are a lot. That's why I want to apologize to them immediately.

I hope Brother Hany and sister Anna can still forgive me.

“Apologies for what? I don't think you ever wanted to.”

“Kak Hany. . .”

“In addition, if you do have any fault I have long agoaaa forgive him.”

Brother Hany showed his trademark sweet smile, and that sincere smile was enough to make my eyes wet even without dust.

“Thank you.”

I also hugged him tightly. But unlike Lisa, she immediately accepted me and just said.

“Sama-sama.”

Before hugging me back.

That day, our long-broken relationship finally re-established. And this time, stronger than ever.
