Evgen let out a breath of light with a little weight. His eyes continued to look at the flat yellow face of his lover who was greedily eating noodles in his meatball bowl.

His feelings were so chaotic at this moment, what kept coming in and interfering in his mind. But the image of Rezi and Shenina's friendly face continued to play in his head.

"Evgen," call Shenina softly.

Evgen raised one eyebrow in his eye, staring at Shenina's face.

"Lu why?" shenina asked curiously.

Evgen pulled out his glass of juice and stirred up the contents. There was a feeling of fear and also wanting to have Shenina at the moment.

All sorts of questions were whackling his mind. What if Shenina and Rezi are actually engaged?

How is she and Shenina related?

Had it been all this time, Shenina had only considered him a shadow or a runaway?

"Even!" shenina shouted in front of Evgen's face.

"What the hell? Can't you call me if you don't scream?" ask Evgen ketus.

"Elu why? I called you from earlier, daydreaming?" shenina asked confusedly.

"It's okay, I'm back." Evgen got up from his chair and walked away from Shenina.

Letting Shenina sit glued with all the questions left in her mind.

What's wrong with that haughty guy? His attitude was still sweet yesterday. Why does it look like that now?

Shenina shivered her shoulders, she went back to devouring the noodles in her meat bowl.

Let it be, later also his attitude changed by himself. Shenina thought, indifferent.

On the other hand, Rezi was busy preparing some projects from his campus. He must complete all his tasks, before the semester break arrives.

Rezi stretched his body, trying to remove the slight fatigue he felt.

Rezi sighed, rubbing the nape of his neck that felt very sore. Hours of sitting alone in a garden chair with eyes focused in a flat screen.

Rezi closed his laptop, he tidied up his things and walked around looking for something that could refresh him.

His eyes were moved when he saw a young woman sitting alone enjoying her lunch.

"Shenina," said Rezi softly.

Shenina shifted her attention, she coughed when she saw Rezi was beside her.

Quickly Rezi's hand grabbed Shenina's drinking glass and drank it onto the young woman's thin lips. Gently rubbed his back.

"Be careful" said Rezi softly.

Shenina wiped the corner of her lips, she glanced at Rezi whose face was so close.

Slowly the long-lost flavor reappears giving vibration. A hue adorned both chubby cheeks belonging to the little girl.

"Still sick?" ask Rezi back.

Shenina shook her head and smiled stiffly. The delicate thud of his heart slowly sounded stronger. As his eyes twinkle, he looks at the sweet face of the grown man, smiling with his flirting neat teeth.

"What are you doing here? This what?" rezi asked as he pointed at Shenina's ice cart.

"Oh, that. I sold ice during the school holidays, Mas," Shenina replied embarrassedly.

"Wah .. looks like seger. Then I ask for one yes," said Rezi softly.

Shenina just nodded her head, she poured out one by one the ice compositions. Slightly trembling, he was groggy when he saw Rezi coming back to greet him.

"This, Mas," said Shenina, handing the ice cup to Rezi.

Rezi smiled gently and grabbed the long-haired girl's hand, accidentally, his fingers even grasped Shenina's fingers that had not been released from the cup's body.

"Eh .. sorry. I don't want to hold you" Rezi said shyly.

"It's okay, Mom." Shenina lowered her gaze, she squeezed both fingers. Trying to cover up the groggy feeling that continues to appear in him.

"Shenina's."

"Yes, Mum."

"If you're selling, who's Seta?" ask Rezi gently.

"Seta's at home, Mas. She used to live alone, anyway."

Rezi smiled and nodded his head. Slowly his smile widened, showing a row of teeth until it made both eyes narrow.

"Don't focus too much on money, until you forget your only family, Shenina. Give him a little bit of your time, because we don't know what's going to happen in the future. Don't make him wait too long" said Rezi softly.

'Not until you become like Neha. Who had to endure and live his own life at a very young age. I know for a fact that surviving alone in this cruel world is no easy feat, Rezi said.

Shenina bowed her gaze, currently Seta is also not in school. He was alone in the old house, and must have felt lonely and empty.

It seems like the same one who sometimes feels

lonely when remembering his parents who are no longer there to accompany him.

Slowly, the shadow of Seta's face began to cross his mind. He never asked what it was like to be in Seta's poisi right now. He forgot that his brother was too small to let himself endure all this.

Slowly one by one the tears came down to each other. A small cry, which slowly deepened. Become a cry of sadness.

Hearing the sobbing from the little girl, Rezi tried to look at Shenina's face that was bowing deeply.

"Shenina, are you crying?" ask Rezi gently.

Shenina shook her head, slowly her cries began to make a sound.

He felt guilty for leaving Seta alone all this time. Especially if you remember the innocent smile of the little boy, he did not feel the heart if he had to let the big Seta in a difficult life that sometimes rarely ate enough.

"Shenina," call Rezi worried.

Shenina was no longer able to answer, only sobs were getting stronger. Making her small body tremble because it was holding back the crying that made her feel guilty.

"Shenina why are you?" ask Rezi worriedly.

Unable to find Shenina's answer, Rezi knelt down in front of Shenina. Trying to see the face of the little girl who was bowed far down.

"Hey, relax." Rezi raised Shenina's chin.

Looking at the sweet face of that langsat yellow-skinned girl. Unceasingly water flowed from those two beautiful eyelids.

It was as if something was making him suffer so much.

"Calm down, and say. You why? Hem?" ask Rezi gently.

Shenina scrunched her forehead, she tried to inhale the increasingly heavy air, entering into her respiratory cavity.

Shenina pulled both sides of the shoulder of Rezi's shirt and cried on the soft-hearted man's chest. He has shed the heavy burden that he has borne himself.

Rezi was just speechless, he had no intention of making Shenina this way. However it seemed, this woman's heart was softer than it seemed.

Rezi simply left both hands empty, unwilling to return Shenina's embrace or try to calm her down. Maybe it takes time to shed everything.

Meanwhile, there were eyes that had been watching the two of them. Evgen shook his head and smiled wryly.

He returned because he remembered Shenina would be alone when he lived earlier. Without realizing it, this fact even felt very bitter when he saw it with his own eyes.

Evgen tried to inhale oxygen that felt hard on his chest. When seeing loved ones, but even comfortable with others.

That was the worst reality he had to feel.
