Shenina glanced at Evgen, she noticed Evgen's face was so sad and calm.

"Evgen, about that, I-" Shenina hung up her line.

"Why? You can't take me anymore?" ask Evgen softly.

"Gue, I." Shenina sighed and let go of Evgen's hand hug.

Turning his body to be able to look at Evgen fixedly.

"Don't want to hear you again, Evgen. You know if I have a part time, where this already wants the final exam. I just want to focus on school and not think about anything else" Shenina replied softly.

Evgen bowed his gaze, indeed the reason Shenina this time could accept.

"Gue knows, Shen. I just want to fix what I've broken. Give me a chance, make it right," Evgen asked weakly.

Shenina sighed, she actually had no heart when she saw this kind of Evgen.

But what else can he do, if he falls again into the problem of this arrogant man. Maybe her life won't be this comfortable anymore.

"Alright then, let me drive you home," Evgen gently asked.

Shenina nodded her head, following Evgen's steps that went ahead of her.

Evgen opened the door of his house, his eyes were immediately fixed on Rezi who was sitting while playing his gaze on the sofa of the living room.

Slowly Evgen walked up the stairs, but his steps stopped when climbing the second rung.

Evgen looked back at Rezi who was busy playing his phone.

Back the shadow about the orphanage children had flashed through his mind.

How Kenda and Nea can be familiar, even though they have only been together for a few years.

Kenda looks so protective of Nea, even though Nea is not who she is, only the sister he found one day in front of the orphanage.

"Sister," call Evgen soft.

Rezi turned his gaze, looking towards Evgen who was standing at the end of the stairs.

"Why, Deck?"

"There are some things that make me feel stuffy here. Brother want to accompany me out?" ask Evgen back.

"Alright, Brother get changed and get the car keys first."

Evgen nodded his head, again walking out of the mansion that belonged to his Papa.

Evgen looked down, enjoying the glittering lights of every vehicle that crossed the highway.

Several times Evgen sighed, trying to calm his turbulent back heart.

There was a burden that still surrounded his heart, there was a sense of tightness that was still lodged in his chest.

The breeze of the night brings back the memory pieces of Evgen and Rezi's wonderful story.

One tear returned from Evgen's eyes. There are memories he still cannot let go of.

"Sir," call Rezi soft.

Evgen wiped his wet eyes as he felt a touch over his shoulder. Evgen smiled gently and swallowed his saliva, bitter.

"Sister, have you ever felt that I was a stranger to you?"

"When I'm being indifferent and don't care about Big Brother, has Big Brother ever felt that I'm a stranger in Brother's heart?"

Rezi smiled gently, placing both hands on the bridge guardrail.

"Where maybe your own brother could be a stranger, Dek. Even if you disappear to the other side of the earth. Split up for years, you're still Brother's sister. You are still the hero of the most beloved brother," replied Rezi softly.

Evgen stared at Rezi's gentle face with his sharp eyes. Looking at the gentle smile that always adorned the sweet face of the man who always had it.

"Sister, Shenina told me the same story. If he was ever rejected by his own people. If later life has changed, and I leave behind a child that still needs to be raised. Is Big Brother going to abandon my son, just like Uwak Shenina left him?" ask Evgen bitterly.

Rezi smiled again and shook his head. He glanced at Evgen and sighed.

"Sir, Brother once lost to you. Until at any time, even if the world rejects your presence, Brother is the one who will always protect you. Then how could Big Brother refuse who is indeed your descendant?"

"If that child is not my offspring? If that kid was just my adopted son? Is my brother leaving them?"

Instantly Rezi turned his eyes away. He looked at Evgen with a bit of confusion. Why would Evgen ask such a question? Is it really just because of Shenina's problem?

"That's getting impossible, Evgen!" reply Rezi firmly.

"Why is it impossible?" ask Evgen to investigate.

"Because you know a family that raises adopted children like their own. Give his name to the child and give everything to fulfill the life of the child. In this world, there is a relationship like this Evgen. What is wrong with being an adopted child? They don't want to be left alone, they don't want to be adopted. If there is a family that wants to give a place, why should it be ostracized? They are also just children, they deserve a chance, a chance to have a family and a chance to be loved" Rezi replied bitterly.

"Sister, when I make a lot of mistakes and I leave it to Brother. Be honest with me, brother. Have you ever regretted having a sister like me?"

"Not at all, Deck. Never at all do you regret having a sister like you and Niki."

"Why? Didn't I just cause trouble for Brother? I always make that brother samsak for my mischief."

"You're just too spoiled, Deck. Brother is also the one who spoils you too much, so you can behave like that constantly," replied Rezi gently.

"If you realize, Brother is spoiling me too much? Then why did Brother not assert me? Angry when I hurt and continue to work Big Brother, brother can not be angry what?" ask Evgen annoyed.

"Son can't be hard on you, Dek. Brother is afraid you think Big Brother doesn't love you. So Brother decided, as long as Big Brother can bear all your mistakes, then no matter what your mischief, Big Brother is willing to bear it for you," Rezi replied with a gentle smile.

Evgen again swallowed his saliva heavily. He began to remove the clear glass that coated his cornea.

"Basic Brother fool! Why should I have a brother like you? Why should I have a Brother who can't be strict at all? Why should I have such a weak brother?" yell Evgen ketus.

"Are you sorry, Dek? Are you sorry you're sister?" tanya Rezi was scared.

"Yes, I'm sorry I had such a stupid brother. I regret having such a weak brother. I'm sorry, but I regret it, I was afraid that Brother would go to stay with me. Since I regret it so much, I hate to think that Big Brother will not care about me anymore!" yelled Evgen loudly.

Evgen walked away leaving Rezi on the lip of the bridge. He removed the water that had crossed his white cheek.

Rezi grabbed Evgen by the shoulder, hugging his brother's large body.

"Sir, why are you saying something like this? Are you afraid that Brother will change after marriage? Or are you afraid that Brother will leave you when you go to college outside?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid of both, I'm afraid of all of them. What if I am afraid? You want to mock me because I'm a coward?" ask Evgen ketus.

"Basin Evgen is stupid, if you're afraid let's tell Brother that you're a coward Brother who will always protect you. Whatever it is, Big Brother will be the person you can count on the most, Dek. Do not be afraid, even if the world changes though, Brother will never change against you. Not going to be my hero,"

Evgen shed his tears trying to hold him back desperately. He no longer knows what to say. Even if he scolded Rezi, the gentle-hearted man would regard the mockery that came out of his sharp mouth as praise.

Either Rezi realized his position, or Rezi did love his sister. But for him right now, these two men who had always been around him were a part of him.

'The thing I fear the most is, if someday. Your lips will say that I am no longer your sister. I was afraid that one day this status would take Brother away from me. The thing I fear the most, is not that Big Brother is not my real brother. But it was Big Brother who suddenly became a stranger to me, Evgen murmured inwardly.

He no longer knew how to hide this feeling. Everything was overflowing without him noticing. He sobbed in his own tears.
