A slap landed on Mirza's smooth cheek.


Now it was Megi's delicate hand that slapped him.


Can't help it anymore, if you have to hear her brother insulting others who mean well to protect her.


"Enough brother... How long will you keep blaming me for Mama's passing?" said Megi flat.


"It wasn't me who asked Mama to give birth to me, it wasn't me who asked for Papa's property to go bankrupt, it wasn't me who took Papa away. Brother blames me for the sadness that you experience, brother is too selfish, even to convince yourself that you can't afford to."


A slap floated from Mirza's white hand, yet to land on Megi's cheek, Sean's hand caught him first. Reversing the slap made the corner of Mirza's lips bleed again.


"Never touch what I'm responsible for, now" Sean said with his cynical eyes.


Megi who heard Sean's words immediately saw Sean's facial expression. Now the man was burning like a burning fire, his face was red with flames of anger.


Realizing that things will continue to deteriorate, Megi decides to take them back home.


Trying to cool down the two people currently in front of him, protecting him wholeheartedly.


But just walking three steps, a fistfight re-occurs between Mika and Mirza. Mika is also injured. Seeing the incident the residents took Mirza away from the funeral.


They were no longer surprised to see the two brothers beating each other. Since they moved to the small house, Mika and Mirza have had several fights.


Mirza is more often known as a troublemaker in the village. Mirza is rarely seen in her home.


While the other residents returned to the small house of Mika and Megi, to clean up the remains of the cemetery and hold a tahlilan event.


Megi sat pensively on the lip of his Papa's bed. While other guests have returned home, leaving some village mothers who cleaned up the rest of the tahlilan event earlier.


Mika approached and grabbed the tip of her sister's head. While a pair of eyes only pay attention from outside the room.


"Yesterday I was still feeding papa lunch brother. Papa's still joking with me, brother." Megi again dripped his clear circle.


"Ikhlas Megi's. Let papa calm down there." persuade Mika gently.


"I still smell Papa's scent. Papa's still here with us brother."


"Meg."


"Sister... I was still sleeping while hugging papa yesterday, brother. Tonight why Papa let me sleep by myself brother. Sis said the same Papa came home brother, Megi here himself brother." Megi hugged Mika's sturdy body.


Mika was just mumbling, not knowing what to say. He was just as devastated, but what could he do. This is God's will not be man's.


The pair of eyeballs that had been paying attention to now began to condense. Sean came out of the house and sat in front of Mika's house.


He put out a cigarette and lit the fire. Suck it in casually and then breathe it out slowly. But the tightness he felt in the chest did not want to come along with the cigarette smoke.


"Sir, we go home first." said one of the mothers who had earlier cleaned this house.


"Yes... Thank you Mom." said Sean as he greeted the mother before leaving the terrace of Mika's house.


"Keeping it his sister, must be heavy at this time to be him" said one of the mother's round body.


"Propay ya y'all." continued another one


Sean simply smiled and nodded, letting the Mothers leave Mika's house.


Seeing the desolate state, Sean intended to return home as well.


He searches for Mika inside, but Mika does not appear in any corner.


He only saw Megi on his stomach kissing the pillow of his former Papa, hugging tightly as if he was hugging his Papa.


'If Rena is like that too, surely the family will be better' he said in his heart.


Then Sean smiled to himself, What a difference he had with Mirza who always blamed his sister for what was abundant in his family. He was angry half-dead hearing Mirza talk like that, but she was the same.


Sean walked into the room, where yesterday afternoon he saw Affandy with blood on his chest. Imagining the incident Sean stopped, he could not bear to remember it.


Sean stopped his steps wanting to get into the room. He abandoned his intentions and returned to the front room.


Throwing her buttocks on the floor of the room, Mika shortly went inside.


"Sean, Lu's nginep tonight, right?"


"Gue, I can't. There's your little sister here." reject Sean outright.


Mika only let out a long sigh, she drew closer to Sean's burly body.


"Do you want me to stay up?" mika asked while patting Sean on the shoulder.


Without saying much, Sean and Mika walked out of the stuffy house. They chose to sit on a wooden chair under a mango tree in front of Mika's house.


Sean again burns a cigarette, this time Mika also follows Sean's behavior. They exhaled the smoke together.


Sean looked at Mika with the tip of his eyes, at the look of Mika's face which was currently in chaos. Sometimes he brushed his hair back using his hands. He accidentally untied his hair finished tahlilan earlier.


His straight hair, which was still above his shoulders, was let by the night breeze that brought bitter memories to his mind.


Mika dropped a new cigarette twice in her smoke.


"I don't think cigarettes can comfort my heart."


Sean only looked at Mika with the corner of his eye, he was still smoking the cigarette that was currently stuck on his two fingers.


"A few times Papa nanyakin you, to me."


As it slipped on its own, the cigarette on its finger fell to the ground upon hearing Mika's words.


"When Papa came to see me at the Cadets' dorm, Papa was always nanya in you. He said he misses you."


"Sorry, Mik. I-i..." Sean hung up his sentence, not knowing what to say.


Guilt now runs through Sean's heart. He never tried to contact his best friend. He knew it was easy for him to find their tracks. But where he was, I don't know.


"Gue tau, Papa has not considered you his second son. Some of Papa's knowledge was given to you and Mirza. For Papa you are just like Mirza." Mika said back, her eyes glaring far into the past.


Sean is not only his best friend, but he is more than that. Almost every moment he spent together. Although they often fight, before long they will definitely improve again.


Mika's house is always open to Sean, sometimes Sean also stay at Mika's house for days. Sean's life was not good, he often ran from his home and hitchhiked in Mika's house.


Papa, indeed a famous businessman in the field of property, his business continues to soar. But Papa's a great man, he still often takes care of his children at home. In the midst of his busy life, Papa still had time to visit Megi in Beijing.


Not only Mika and Mirza, Papa also played a role in the formation of Sean's character. Almost every Saturday and week, Sean and Mirza are in the ring with the business world.


Mika who saw them just laughed, not her Papa does not love her, but her Papa understands better. Mika does not like to play in the business world, Mika prefers to adventure freely following the direction of the wind.


There Sean took half of the knowledge from the business world. The success he achieved today was a little bit more interference from Fandy. Rayen is not a successful businessman before, but although Rayen is not busy, Sean feels a very distant relationship with a man who bleeds the same as him.


"Gue don't know how bad you are, Mik. I'm wrong with you guys, I'm really stupid." he said by ruffling his hair.


When with Mika he was able to show the other side of him. Mika is not only a friend, but the nature of Mika who was an adult is also like a sister for her.


"Hana, that woman made me forget everything important from my past. Hana, she's the one who dragged me away from everything." said Sean, banging his forehead with his own impact. There was a sense of indignation that made Sean angry when he mentioned that name.


Mika pulled Sean's fist that she had hit on her forehead.


"Hana, that makes you like this, right?" mika said while looking at Sean's face.


Sean could only be bowed, his jaw clenching hard until it made a crack in the friction of his two teeth.


"Hana, I've often said the same to you. He doesn't pantes for you." continued Mika with a slightly loud tone.


"Gue can't Mika, I can't pull myself from Hana's charm. She.." sean hung up his sentence.


"Hana, you shot me when he was dating you."
