The Trouble of Two Men
Kevin parked his car in the yard. Kia said goodbye and headed straight for her room. Clean yourself and then sleep. Kevin came out of his room. He saw Reagan still sitting on the balcony upstairs. He enjoyed the gentle breeze of the night, the bright starry sky.
"Sir ..."
"Hmmm.", Reagan turned his head.
"Not sleeping, Dek?"
"No, Brother. Brother Re hasn't slept yet?"
"Yes"
"Sister.."
Reagan turned his back, leaning his body against the balcony wall.
"What's the matter, brother. Looks like Brother Re is having a thought?"
"How do you think the guy named Vino was?"
"From his eyes and body gesture, seems like he's a good person?"
"Yes, Brother Re agrees with your opinion. But do you know her family background?"
"No"
"Both of his parents divorced when he was three months old. Then his father married a French woman. She has lived with her mother since childhood in the village next door"
"Then?"
"Then do you know who he is, Kevin?"
"Who is he, brother?"
"Revzan Alviano Mahawira, commonly called Vino. Only son of Emilio Mahawira"
Kevin was surprised to hear that.
"So he's the granddaughter of that annoying old geezer, brother?"
"Hmmm.."
"Well, brother?"
"He doesn't need to know this. But this must be heavy, Dek"
"What do you mean, Re?"
"It seems that they both like each other. Didn't you notice that, Dek?"
"Yes, Brother. Kevin knows that. And that's gonna be a big deal for us later"
"It's better that Kia doesn't need to know this"
"But Brother, is Vino really sincere?"
"The heart of who knows, Dek. We need to be vigilant. Brother Re doesn't want anything to happen with Kia"
"Kevin won't either, brother"

"Morning, baby", said Kevin to see his sister coming down from the room.
"August, Brother... Where's Re?"
"It doesn't seem to be down yet. Where are you going, honey? Is this Sunday getting better?"
"There's an appointment with a friend, brother"
"With Vino?"
"Yes", Kia replied timidly.
Kevin rubbed the head of his beloved youngest. She smiles.
"Darling, be careful on the road. Take good care of yourself, will you?"
"Yes, Brother. Kia go first, sister. Please say yes to Kak Re ..."
"Do you need Kevin to take you?"
"No need, brother. Vino's brother is ahead"
Hearing Vino in front, Kevin wakes up and follows his sister's steps. Surely Vino was waiting for him in front. Seeing Kia coming with Kevin, Vino got off his bike.
"Morning, Sis ..."
"You accompanied Kia looking for something, Brother", replied Vino casually.
"Be careful on the road"
"Good, Brother. Excuse me first"
Vino took Kevin's hand and kissed the back of his hand. Then Kia followed him.
"He left first, Brother ..."
"Be careful on the road, baby. Remember Kevin's message, huh..?!"
Pt ...
Kia nodded her head and gave Kevin a kiss. Honda CB150R Streetfire is traveling at speeds on the highway. They're headed for the shopping mall.

Reagan had just stepped down from his room during the day, looking for his sister. He finds Kevin in the backyard all alone in front of the pool table. Re instantly took his pool steak and joined Kevin.
"Well, Brother Re always had the right shot"
"You're the one who's off guard, Dek"
"Hmmm..."
"Where are you?"
"So early in the morning I went with Vino"
"The casino?"
"Yes"
Reagan looked at his watch, almost eleven o'clock in the afternoon.
"Sir Re seemed to be very busy, after breakfast no longer came out of the room. Kia said goodbye to Kevin, brother"
"Hmmm..."
They continue their fun game. Re has always been superior to his sister. Re enliven the music of the player, indulging himself with the hustle and bustle of "bar-bar" music, challenges his wild soul to move. A glass of cold cola made the entire body cold. Kevin casually followed the rhythm of his eldest brother.
In the next shot Re won the match. Kevin just messem-meet saw his defeat to Re for the umpteenth time.
"We eat first, brother. Kevin is hungry so he doesn't concentrate on playing"
"May also ngelesnya, Dek", Re laughed at hearing it.
They both headed to the dining table. Enjoyed their lunch together.
"Good day, Mr. Re"
"Jiang, Ed", Edzard came by the time they finished lunch.
"I brought what you asked for"
Edzard gave the envelope containing the file report of his investigation to his boss. Kevin just sat there and watched them.
Reagan read the files carefully. Repeated many times. And in the end from the expression on his face he seemed to have come to a conclusion.
"Where are they now, Ed?", asked Reagan.
"The man's rented house in the village next door"
"You didn't just let go of the two of them, did you?"
"I told people to watch him from afar. I'll ensure Miss Zazkia's safety, sir. You don't have to worry"
"Do what you think is right, I don't want to make mistakes. Remember to prioritize Zazkia"
"Good, Sir"
"For this, I'll learn first. Wait for the next instruction"
"Well, excuse me Mr. Re, Mr. Kevin"
Re and Kevin nodded their heads as Edzard paused and saluted them.
"Is there a problem, brother?"
"none. Safely under control so far"
