“Iya, campus brother has moved places right. Brother campus or maybe brother lecturer giving lectures in the Mall freely yes.” I explained it as gently as possible but I was sure that for him who heard my sentence it was sharper than an indecision.


He was speechless and seemed to be trying to rack his brain in search of an answer or rather to fabricate a new lie. Ohhh, but you forget that you are dealing with a girl who has a brain not just living with a beautiful capital that you can lie because the evidence is clearly displayed in front of my eyes this afternoon.


“I've been here since dawn yesterday, Bang. Last afternoon I was walking to the Mall because there was something I had to look for there. But God is Good, I even found evidence of lies that I have been looking for and without difficulty or use of energy I immediately got it today.”.


He bowed and grabbed his hair a sign he had realized that he was trapped and could not curl anymore.


“He is just a college friend Brother, not a lover Brother because only you are the one you love.” finally he voiced.


I smiled cynically and said inwardly, “ Whipped lizard, you think I can still believe it. No, wrong big.”


“Yes bang, it's just me you love but there's him, him and him that brother and brother love.”


“Already, bang. I am well aware that I am not worthy of you. I'm ugly, not fashionable and definitely a shame for you to show or admit. Then I know myself. From this moment we break up. I want to concentrate on the final exam and Brother please be with him. I don't want to be a barrier to happiness Brother.”


“Abang does not want to break up. You are never ashamed of having you. Brother is always proud because brother's lover is a smart and accomplished woman. “ his objection.


“Cold right? That's how I feel about my brother now. Cooling.”


I walked into the house and ran into my room. I know my good cousin met him on the porch because I could hear my brother's voice say, “ Go home, Bim. If you really love my sister, it's not worth it to be with another woman. And you need to know, Puri saw with his own eyes you with the woman this afternoon in the mall. He saw how you held and hugged the woman. “


“But Dew, I was just a fad with Dita's. It's only Puri I want to be my companion.”


“Already, Bim. If you are a match then one day you will be together. Now let Puri calm down. I don't want my sister to be distracted by the concentration of the exam later. “


Bima also came home with shaky steps and wet clothes.


I pretended to be asleep when Sister Dewi knocked on my bedroom door.


“Dek, open the door. Brother wants to enter.”


I keep flinching. Until I finally heard the steps of Sister Dewi away from the door of my room. I want to be alone right now. But miraculously, I could not cry when I used to love Bima. But I don't know since I saw the painful scene this afternoon everything was suddenly empty like the space of my heart.
