In the morning when Annisa just opened her eyes, she found Sapphira who looked fresh and beautiful like the last time they met. Overnight because it just came from a long trip might make him quite exhausted.
"For Sister. " The broom was friendly as she approached Annisa with a bowl of warm porridge on top for the one she was carrying. Not to forget there is also a glass of warm milk that is still steaming hot steam.
Smiling awkwardly, the memory of her crying last night made Annisa feel ashamed of Sapphira. "Morning.. Sapphira." Sapa Annisa turned back with a slightly nervous voice.
Smiling, Safira knew very well what Annisa was thinking. This brother of hers easily felt awkward and nervous when she was with him, maybe this was because he was a little similar to Umi. The people around him also said that. "When breakfast, you can not complain about the food this time and must run out immediately." Safira warned her brother not to waste food.
"Sister try." Despite her doubts, Annisa does not want to disappoint Sapphira's expectations.
"Safira, your arrival here did Umi and Abi know about it?" Then with a stiff movement he brought half a spoon of porridge into his mouth.
Stunned, Safira then grabbed her phone which she had neglected from last night. "They know I'm gone and don't know I I'm going to your place." Sapphira replied that she had nothing to hide from Annisa.
Subduing her head, there was a guilt clearly drawn on Annisa's pale face that already looked better than yesterday. "I don't think you should just go home to Safira because Umi and Abi would be so angry if they knew you were here." Sapphira is her brother so naturally Annisa misses him but when considering Umi and Abi's anger towards him, Annisa thinks Safira can't bear all that just because she came here. He did not want to involve Sapphira nor did he want his parents to hate Sapphira.
Put the phone down, "That's if they know, but what if they don't know?" Even if Annisa was worried both her parents would not know where Safira was here.
Who would so plainly tell his parents about his whereabouts here?
"If they don't know-"
"Well if they don't know, I'll feel more relaxed here accompanying Brother. Even if they know what then? Didn't I come here to meet my brother?. I'm here for only a few days and not ten years." Cut the angry Sapphira. Even if Umi and Abi knew where he was here, why?
Was he wrong to visit his sister whom they had never met for a long time. After all he was also here for only a few days, so why should they be angry?
Alright even though they were angry even though Safira really did not care about all that. Didn't he say that this time he would act selfish. After they were all selfish like that would Sapphira just shut up to see all that?
It's a pity not because this time it was Sapphira's chance to use her part. He wants to be selfish.
Don't you dare raise his head, "Safira, maybe you can't understand this Deck. Umi and Abi could not accept Brother anymore because Brother had already let them both down. Even Abi who never got angry also said that this Big Brother was their failure in raising a child, so Big Brother thought your presence here would make them angry and Big Brother couldn't let that happen." Until whenever the words full of disappointment Umi and Abi will never be able to forget Annisa. It was a disappointment to his parents that he loved so it was painful to remember their angry and disappointed expressions.
Annisa could not hide her guilt.
"So is what Umi and Abi said about you true?" Safira asked in curiosity.
He looked at Annisa with a smiling but non-smiling expression, creating a deep and endless hole in the darkness of those beautiful black eyes.
Surprised, "What do you mean?" Annisa doesn't understand.
"You're no longer holy and you dare to tease Saqila's future husband, is this all true?" He wanted to know the truth was coming from his own sister's mouth even though he knew what answer Annisa would give but still it would sound different if Annisa herself were to say it directly.
For a moment, Annisa was worried about having to tell the truth or not because she was afraid that Sapphira would behave like the others. He was afraid that Sapphira would avoid everything he said when everything was the truth.
But didn't Sapphira say she believed in me?
Sighing nervously, Annisa emboldened herself to stare directly at Safira's beautiful dark eyes but implied an endless abyss. For a moment Annisa did not know what to behave in front of Sapphira.
"It's not true, it's not true Sapphira. Big Brother is not what they say because Big Brother is still holy. As for the night that Dimas left Brother in the bridal room, Big Brother did not know clearly the reason he left because he refused to say it. He just said that we can't be together anymore, that's all. This is the truth of Sapphira but they all do not believe what I say even though I say it over and over again they will always argue over and over again. As for Mas Gio, at that time Brother did not know the person who had often met his brother was Mas Gio. Even all the encounters that didn't happen were an accident so why would Saqila say that Big Brother seduced Mas Gio?. Wasn't Mas Gio not her future husband because that's what I heard from Mas Gio, she still hasn't proposed to anyone so why would Saqila say that to Umi and Abi?" Either get the courage from where Annisa ends up saying everything buried in her heart. The pain of being untrustworthy, despised, belittled overflowed just like that in front of Sapphira.
Why are people so naive and ignorant about everything they experience?
And why did Saqila say such a bad thing to Umi and Abinya?
Annisa can't understand any of this!
Smiling softly, "I see, Big Brother doesn't need to worry about anything now that things are about to end. Brother's suffering and pain will soon be over so be patient a little more." Safira said sincerely. Now after all that her sister Safira said could breathe with relief because as she concluded that Annisa knew nothing with all these problems. Even the good news was that Annisa still did not understand everything that happened to her was because someone wanted to destroy her.
"Then I go out for a bit to the cafeteria, there's a snack I want to buy." Said Safira getting up from her chair after getting a nod from Annisa. Stepping surely in his right hand he naturally carried a hand-held mobile phone that he had ignored during a conversation with Annisa.
Closing the door to Annisa's room, he immediately took his steps away from Annisa's room.
"Mas heard it, didn't he?" Safira asked quietly after keeping a sufficient distance with Annisa's room.
"Actually you don't have to do it Sapphira because like anything Annisa I'm going to marry her anyway. But still I have to thank you for all your efforts." The man across the street thanked Sapphira sincerely even though he did not care about the efforts made by Sapphira.
"I know that Mas Gio does not care about this information." Abai, there was a smile of satisfaction imprinted sweetly on Safira's beautiful face.
"And you still do it." Gio's voice was at the end of there.
"That's because I want Annisa to be happy." Elak Safira with a shrinking voice.
"Then I'll never let you down." Gio reassured Safira.
"Mas Gio, can I ask for your help?" Safira's question sounded serious which was immediately taken seriously by Gio who was across the street.
"Tell me." Gio's reply sounded enthusiastic.
Smiling faintly, "Safira wants Mas Gio to investigate this, can Mas?"
Confused, "What's that about?"
Turning his gaze to Annisa's inpatient room, "Please investigate Reina if she has ever been or is hiding nate's poison." His words sounded cold.
Stunned, "Safira, do you mean Reina-"
"I'm sure. So to express it Mas Gio has to help me and remember, please don't tell anyone about this because I want to end it my way." Cut Sapphira sure. Moreover, when he noticed Reina's change in expression upon hearing about the poison nate made Safira completely certain of her conjecture.
"I understand." Gio's voice. Although a little surprised by the conclusions that are developing in his head but Gio must still carry out this task. Although Reina did not look like that Gio could not believe her appearance just like that. Especially when Gio remembered Saqila, the girl looked beautiful and gentle. Thinking of him doing evil must be very impossible because his outer appearance was not like that. However, after knowing the fact that the soft appearance is only a mask Gio so more sure that what is seen outside is not necessarily like the one inside.
"But Sapphira, I hear now that you're in college. Is the major you're studying law science?" Gio asked a curious question which was immediately nodded without hesitation by Safira.
"That's true so why did Mas Gio ask this?" Then he took his steps walking through the hospital corridor. His sharp eyes noticed the hospital canteen that looked crowded with visitors.
Little laugh, "I guessed it, your place was there." Gio said while laughing with satisfaction. Seeing how dedicated Safira is when dealing with Annisa's problems, Gio is convinced that Safira must be a law school. Especially when listening to the recording that Safira sent 3 weeks ago made him more confident in his assumption.
Safira is sharp and also a little scary for a girl's size.

"Assalamualaikum Mas Gio?" Gio lifted his head from some documents that were on his desk.
"Waalaikumussalam, please sit Ra." Gio said in response to the greeting while welcoming a girl who was in front of him.
Her name is Rara, she is Gio's cousin who happened to have just graduated yesterday from the boarding school. The existence is still here because it is preparing the files for the continuation of schools to Egypt, a leading university that is no stranger to most Indonesian students.
"Thank you Gio." Rara thanked him politely as she sat herself in the empty seat in front of Gio's desk.
Staring straight, there was an ambiguous smile that was drawn wide on her beautiful face.
"Rara, I want to ask you for help." Closing some documents that he had noticed, now his focus was given to Rara who was staring at him.
Smiling sweetly, "About what is this so that it makes the prince of our boarding school seem desperate and troubled?" There was an expression of ridicule that he put on Gio that was indeed not visible as usual.
Nodding helplessly, "It's an important matter, really." Gio said he didn't want to play around with her anymore.
"All right, I'm gonna be serious." Breaking up Rara tried to sound serious anyway.
"Rara, I heard from Umi that you and Reina are roommates, right?" Gio started their serious chat.
Nodding confirming, Rara and Reina have been one room since Reina came to this place. "We're one room, why?" Confused, there was an ambiguous thought that flashed inside his head.
"Don't tell me Mas Gio wants to get close to Reina after he's finished sucking on Annisa's honey. Astagfirullah, do you think all the women are lazy? Was Mas's heart completely untouched to see Annisa still unconscious inside the hospital?" If what was in Rara's mind was true about Mas Gio then Rara could not accept all of that. She is a woman and feels sick when she sees her fellow women dumped by Gio. It is not impossible that Rara can think of this because she has often heard rumors about the dispute Reina and Annisa who are fighting for Gio's attention.
"What do you mean?" Gio asked spontaneously.
Staring miris, "Mas, I also did have time to hear about the rumors of Annisa that had spread in the boarding school. But Mas shouldn't be this rude to Annisa just because of that nasty rumor." He had heard this rumor yesterday but even so Rara did not care. To her, Annisa was still Annisa even though she was now a widow. After all, her marriage was only last night and the rumors that spread about Annisa were no longer holy were not necessarily true because again who only knew the truth was only God, Annisa and her husband who left.
Sighing deeply, "I never intended to get close to Reina. As for about the rumors that were still spreading now that was completely untrue. I've confirmed the truth about it myself through Sapphira, Annisa's brother who was accompanying her in the hospital." The thought of getting close to Reina alone never flashed inside her head. To him Reina was just like the others, only a relative. After all, why could Rara clearly accuse her of wanting to get close to Reina?
Wasn't the woman who chased after him not just Reina?
"Safira? Safira is here too?" Rara asked in disbelief as the girl was completely indifferent to the ones around her. He wouldn't move unless it really caught his attention.
"Yes, since this is a serious matter he should come here to solve Annisa's problem directly." Answer Gio honestly. As he said earlier, Sapphira came here to solve Annisa's problem and after that he had to bring Annisa back to their home in the city.
"Hem, I heard that Mira and Nanda are also trying to dispel the rumors." Earlier this morning he heard Mira and Nanda were trying to figure out who was behind the rumors.
Breathing a sigh of relief, he could not imagine Annisa being injured if Gio had indeed intended to approach Reina. "Then why did Mas Gio ask about Reina to me?" They returned to serious talks that had been neglected.
"About Reina this is very serious. Safira said that behind the food that Annisa ate yesterday there was a poison that was deliberately put into the porridge and not from expired foodstuffs. Safira said that the poison is a poison nate that we usually use to clean pests and insects in the garden boarding school, it is an official report from the doctor who handles Annisa. Then why should Sapphira be suspicious of Reina and not anyone else? He was confused and asked Safira. After asking this, Safira immediately replied to my question through a message. There he said that last night when Reina and I were visiting the hospital, Safira had mentioned the poison nate that we used. From there, Sapphira could tell there was a change in expression and attitude that happened to Reina. So seeing the discoloration on her face was not impossible Sapphira could not conclude that the mastermind behind the poisonous porridge was Reina herself." It was clear that Gio was at length that instantly made Rara unable to say anything.
For a moment her head turned back the friendly attitude of Reina in front of her. It was never expected that Reina was such a person, cruel and heartless.
"Oh my God, I don't know what to say about this." Rara said still in her feelings of shock.
Sighs, "However this is only a temporary guess therefore I call you here to confirm this truth." Said Gio seriously who was immediately in a serious response by Rara.
"Then what can I do to help you?" Ask sincerely want to solve this problem. He wanted to know if what Gio said about Reina was true or not so that he would know what kind of attitude Rara would give him later.
"Please search where Reina sleeps, since you're one room it'll be easier for you to do. As for if Sapphira's hypothesis is correct, Mas hope that the remaining poison was not disposed of by Reina and is still stored in her room." Gio's instructions gave directions. Rara and Reina are roommates so Rara's access to move there is easier and more free.
"I see, after I get home from here I'll run it all right away." Said Rara eagerly wanting to return to her room immediately to carry out her duties!
Smiling with relief, "Ra, try not to let anyone know about this even to our two parents. Because if it's time they know then they'll know soon." Gio's message was immediately nodded quickly by Rara.
"I'll excuse you then, Assalamualaikum." Pamit Rara while taking her step out of Gio's work room, leaving Gio who was once again covered in silence.
"When did all this end, God?"

"Assalamualaikum Annisa, Sapphira." Mira's excited voice enters Annisa's inpatient room. Safira and Annisa who had been busy chatting at last could not help but distract them.
"Mosur." Annisa replied with a gentle smile staring at the arrival of Mira and Nanda with enthusiastic gazes.
"Annisa, how are you today?" Put their luggage on top of the drawer next to Annisa's bed.
Smiling, "Alhamdulillah.I'm fine as you see it now." Since last night his body has begun to improve even already not as tired as the beginning he regained consciousness.
Pushing Sapphira away from her seat, she sat herself down naturally on the chair. "Alhamdulillah, I'm glad you're feeling better."
Turning his eyeballs lazily, Safira then sat himself casually on one of the couches in Annisa's room.
"Safira, how are you? Why didn't you tell me about your arrival yesterday?" Nanda who had been standing next to Mira finally walked up to Safira who was staring at her lazy phone.
Putting her phone on the table, Safira then raised her head to look at Nanda who looked a little nervous.
"Hem, is that important to you?" He asked flatly, looking so reluctant to serve his chat with Nanda.
Stunned, Nanda then carefully stared at Safira's beautiful face which at first glance looked like Annisa. The dark, pitch-black eyes seemed to be pulling him into an unfounded dark abyss. Making him fixate for a while and unable to say anything at the same time.
Realized, he stiffly gave Sapphira a friendly smile. "Of course it's very important to me, aren't we friends?" Carefully he sat himself beside Sapphira who still looked tired of paying attention to his attitude.
"Friend? Are you sure?" Ask Safira sarcas. If they are friends then why does he act and behave as if they have no friendly relationship?
Again, humans are selfish, right? Huh, how naive.
Clenching her hands tightly, there was no look of offense or anger that flashed across Nanda's pretty face.
"Safira, I was wrong." Admit it seriously.
"I know it's all my fault." Yesterday when he finished talking to Mira, Nanda finally reflected on everything he had done. He realized that all this time he was too hasty to complete all his plans so that he unconsciously became greedy and selfish simultaneously to immediately his own happiness.
And he ignored Annisa whom he should have prioritized first.
Smiling coldly, there was an expression of ridicule implied on Safira's pretty face. "Then what?" Bored ask.
Confused, "Yes?"
Shifting his gaze at Annisa who was so enthusiastically chatting with Mira, he felt relieved by that. "After you realized everything so why? Is there anything you can fix with your stale confession?" Asked coldly Sapphira then brought her beautiful and beautiful eyes staring at the pale face of Nanda, looking at her gracefully but laden with coldness.
"Nanda, don't be so naive. Even if you kneel down in front of my brother to confess your deeds, everything won't change anything here. You are still the selfish one, even the fruit of selfishness can never be wiped out at any moment." Smiling smirk.
"If Annisa were late to the hospital, her life might not have been saved. Nanda, have you never imagined the consequences of your own actions?" Safira asked sharply making Nanda involuntarily back stiff.
"Then act like we never know each other." Sambar Safira.
Surprised, "Safira.. isn't this too much?" Nanda's question didn't take it.
Smiling grimly, "It can't be considered excessive if juxtaposed with my brother's life."
"Safira-"
"What are you guys talking about?" There was a soft and light Annisa curious voice.
Smiling coldly, Safira then fixed her facial expression and turned to look at Annisa and Mira who were also staring at them with curious expressions.
Smiling lightly, "Nothing matters, it's just about the past." Safira replied relaxed.
"Oh yeah, what a coincidence then. Mira and I also talked about the past of the three of you. Mira said that you used to visit the boarding school so the three of you made friends. Safira, why don't you tell me something this important?" Indict Annisa with a contorted pouty face.
Shaking his head lightly, "It doesn't matter so I don't tell you." Safira said casually indifferent to the change in expression on Mira's face.
"Ei, this is important for Big Brother when it comes to them." Annisa's complaint.
"Speaking about this Brother remembered with Puspa, Safira what about the state of Puspa in the city? Did he ever search or ask about Brother there?" Annisa asked nervously, so curious about the state of her best friend who was out there. Puspa was a family and a friend to her so Annisa could not let go of her worries about Puspa.
Hearing Puspa's name coming out of Annisa's mouth, the light smile that had been residing on her face was now replaced with a stiff smile that seemed forced. "Puspa, the girl is fine there. He had never asked about Brother or looked for Brother's whereabouts because he knew very well how Big Brother was currently." Sapphira's reply implied something. Puspa, the girl knows better than anyone how Annisa is currently. As they planned, Annisa's life was ruined even her existence was so reluctant to receive both parents.
This naive girl, Safira will never forget her.
Smiling wryly, "Well, you're right that Puspa must have understood Brother's current state." Annisa muttered sadly. He thought that Puspa must be so worried about him here because he knew that Puspa was a sincere person.
"Hem, he understands." Safira gummar flat.
"Safira, I want to go to the cafeteria to buy some necessities. Come with me." Waking up from her seat Mira then pulled Sapphira from her current seat.
"Hem." Safira's response was reluctant while following Mira's steps. Seeing Mira's attitude like this Safira knew that this girl wanted to talk to him about something so inevitably he had to follow in his footsteps.

"Don't you know that this time is precious to me? Damn you just bother me." Bumpat Dea when he saw Reina's arrival in the medical room that he is currently occupying.
"Oh, I don't know if you have anything important in your brain." Ejek Reina was lazy while closing the door and making sure no one was out there.
"Suckers! You don't make fun of me. Because of your crazy plan, I had to pretend to be sick in class to avoid chasing the damn girl who claims to be the head of the girls' dorm. If I knew this would happen I'd think twice about getting into this boarding school with your crazy plans." Dea complained while pulling the blanket to cover part of his body to feel warm.
Putting himself in the bedside chair, "Even if you think a hundred times you will but be brought here by Mama and Papa. Did you ever think about it that which school would be willing to accept a troubled student like you? The answer is no do you understand?"
"Some of you are already flawed in the eyes of others so I think staying here is the best option. You can't complain because this is the consequence of your own actions, madly making love in class even when you are caught and demanded to marry your beloved lover who refuses to marry you. Tell me is everything that happened to you because of me?" Reina casually reveals her brother's past. Even the color of Dea's face now was not as relaxed as before. If you look carefully, you can find that Dea looks moody. Well, he admitted that who would not be hurt after being reminded of his bitter past.
Given the day that he loved a man so much and even gave up his precious possessions as a woman, it was because he believed that this man would never leave him.
But the fact that what he had expected all this time did not match what he found.
Seizing her pride her lover refuses to marry her, she reasoned that the man who once fucked Dea was not just her. Honestly, when Dea listened to the reason her lover wanted her to cry out howling. Shout that this man is a hypocrite! He was a liar because in fact the only man he allowed to touch to this extent was only this man.
The man he called a lover, how funny.
"All right, then what?" Dea said uninterestedly as she moved her body against the wall. He turned his back on Reina on purpose.
"Then what did you say? Don't you know your disgusting secret is already known by Mas Gio?" Reina asked angrily, especially when she saw the mocking expression Safira gave her made Reina really angry. He felt that night wanting to vomit blood for holding back the shame and anger of Sapphira's nonsense speech.
He hated the demon girl, even his determination to destroy Annisa grew bigger when he remembered Safira's bold taunting gaze.
Stunned, Dea immediately turned her body to face Reina who now looked so angry. "Why is that?.no, how could Mas Gio know about my past?" Dea asked puzzled because after a few months of living here Dea had never found someone who also knew her from the city then why was this black secret known to Gio?
Hearing the question of Dea's confusion made Reina even more angry, how useless it was. "Do you know Sapphira? The demon girl was not much different from her hypocritical sister. Especially when he spoke to me at the hospital last night, he mocked me with everything that hurt my ears so much. He told me plainly why you were sent to the boarding school and deliberately humiliated in Mas Gio. The demon girl was even exactly like her two-faced sister!" Reina complained about her anger at the figure of Sapphira who was so cunning and cruel.
Silently, Dea was unable to say anything but a feeling of shame that she had not felt for a long time.
Sapphira?
Of course he knew this girl well. That indifferent and indifferent attitude had always provoked Dea's anger when she was close to him. Dea always felt that Sapphira was not as simple as they all saw, her ignorant attitude towards whatever Dea thought was only a vague attitude because what Dea felt was that Sapphira was actually watching them all.
Watching and secretly laughing at their stupidity all of which is so ridiculous, somehow this is what Dea feels.
"Don't approach her." This was all Dea could say to Reina.
Flipping her eyes in anger, Reina could no longer hold back her anger towards the completely useless Dea. "Why? You're scared because Sapphira knows your weakness?" Look at him with ridicule.
"I've said no. You can't complain about everything that's happening right now because it's because you're being too cheap in front of men. If only your brain could be useful then everything that happened that day would not complicate your life. Well, but the fact is your brain is useless. It's empty and weightless so you're so impulsive when you act. How stupid!" Cecar Reina was angry. If only Dea was as intelligent and self-sustaining as she was, everything that happened that day would never have happened. But it was once again just a wishful thinking because as he said earlier Dea did not have a useful brain so he was so easy to do bad things.
Dea fell silent, it was difficult for her to refute everything her brother said because in fact it was all true. He was foolish and useless until his future and dreams were destroyed.
In fact he also smashed the faces of his parents in front of the crowd, making them feel ashamed and scorned by the people around them.
Dea wants to go back to a time when he was a kid and wants to fix all the mistakes he made.
"Dea, following you into my plan turns out to be more of a loss. If I had known someone would know you here and divulge your secrets, I would have thought about getting you into this boarding school. The messy and ruined story of your life left me completely embarrassed in front of Mas Gio, I was afraid and confused that Mas Gio's attitude would change to me just because of your misfortune." Reina complained again, lamenting how embarrassed she was that night in front of Gio. Even he was afraid that Gio would behave differently to him now knowing that Dea was not as good as Gio thought.
"Then I'm sorry." Dea's breakup doesn't matter. Ah, it was more appropriate to say that Dea was fed up and tired of listening to Reina's rant that kept blaming her. He knows his mistake and why he should be reminded again. It's like he'll repeat his mistake!
"Basic shit, don't you have-"
Dea chose to close her eyes and tried to ignore Reina's growing curse. Backing Reina again, she did not want to show her tears of exhaustion that had begun to flow disobediently.
Well, Reina was cruel but the cruelest thing Dea feared the most was her rude swearing about her useless self. Because every condescending word that came out of his lips would sound different to Dea. That sounds so cruel.
Never mind, I'll never care again.
***
"Ra, I'm going to the medical room for a while well because there's Dea who's not well anymore." Reina walks out of the room saying goodbye to Rara who looks busy folding clothes that have just dried.
Showing a surprised expression, "Astagfirullah, Dea is sick what is Rein? Is it bad or not? If it gets worse, I'll tell Mas Gio to take you to the hospital."
Smiling faintly, Reina knew if this was just Dea's wits in order to relax there. "In shaa Allah, this is most just ordinary pain." Reina was convinced that Dea was just pretending. After all Reina knew very well that Dea would not be that weak.
"I hope so too." Rara looked more comfortable than before.
"Well then I go first, assalamualaikum." Reina said giving her greetings while taking her steps away from the room they occupied.
Slowly the eyes full of smiles that had been so enthusiastic when talking to Reina now began to disappear displaying a complicated expression.
"If that's true then I think Reina's fishing in the wrong pond." Rara muttered while getting up from her seat and closing their room door with a natural movement. Then he locked it carefully and began his search.
The first thing Rara went to was Reina's wardrobe. Opening the closet he had found Reina's clothes were still neatly arranged, then with a careful movement he began to look for important evidence that was in his mind.
Sighing, nothing could make him relieved.
Closing the closet and looking elsewhere. Ransacking her mattress and blanket still hasn't found anything that caught her attention.
Surrender, maybe Reina is not the perpetrator of the poisoning or actually Reina has thrown the evidence to a place that she never reached even though.
Putting herself in, Rara thought there was nothing else to search for until her confused eyes fell on the clear vase beside Reina's bed.
It wasn't the flowers that caught his attention but there was something a little suspicious there.
Yes, there are objects that slightly damage the flower arrangement in the vase. If noticed more sharply it is actually an object that is deliberately hidden between the lush flower stems.
Waking up from her seat Rara impatiently took out the flower inside and found a small transparent bottle that still contained a white powder that looked smooth and soft.
"Astagfirulah.." Rara stared in surprise at the small bottle that was now within her grasp. Shaking, Rara firmly grasped the bottle in her right hand. He was afraid of losing control and ended up dropping it.
Taking a slow breath, he tried to calm himself down while putting the small transparent bottle into his pocket.
Not to forget also Rara improved again the vase that he had messed up just now with the appearance of the last time he found.
He carefully created the space inside the leafy trunk as if there were hidden objects there.
When he finished he looked around and assessed whether he had left any traces. Breathing a sigh of relief he then grabbed the doorknob while unlocking his room in a slightly stiff movement.
Looking left and right, no one noticed his attitude so he became even more relaxed out of the room.
Actually, which crazy person suspected him of doing something in his own room, it was as if he wanted to steal something.
"Reina, I never thought that you were this kind of person. How depraved!" So angry, Rara could not believe what she was seeing right now. The Reina he knew outside turned out to be nothing like that inside.
Her face was beautiful, she said softly and her attitude was so soothing. It turned out that it was all just a mask to cover his dark-black heart.
Rara did not expect that such a person had been in the same room with her all this time. He breathed air even being in the same place as such a cruel woman.
Frighteningly.

"Mas Gio, it's me."
Lifting his face from the laptop screen that has been 3 hours he touched. "Come in, Ra." Gio said as he typed a little more on his laptop.
"Assalamualaikum, my dear." Rara's greeting sounded familiar as she sat herself in the front seat of Gio's desk.
"Mosur." Gio said still seriously staring at his laptop that displays such complicated numbers.
Seeing Gio who was still busy, Rara hesitated a bit to say what had been found. But when Reina remembered the sweet face, her determination to immediately solve the problem finally came back high.
"Mas, I found it." Rara said softly sounding certain.
Silent.
The noise as his hand was typing was finally gone in a few seconds.
Closing his laptop fast, Gio brought his focus to see his cousin who looked a little pale and uncomfortable.
"Did you say something earlier?" Ask Gio to make sure.
Nodding lightly, "Mas, I've found evidence of that. Like I said it was Reina." Repeating speech with a reassuring voice and expression.
"This is the poison nate that the boarding school used." Then with trembling hands that still did not subside he took out a small transparent bottle that was in his clothes bag. And with careful movement he put it on Gio's desk.
Stunned, Gio grabbed the small transparent bottle that was in front of him with a careful movement. "So this is it." Gio muttered still not believing what was flashing in his mind.
"But..how did Reina get this poison? As I recall santriwati was not allowed to do menial work in the garden because this was the duty of men in the boarding school." Confused Gio. Pesantren huts allow gardening, but for the problem of settling pests or insects it is the task of men because the poison they use is quite dangerous.
Stunned, Rara was then reminded back of her conversation the other day with Reina. "Mas, I remember that a few days ago we had a discussion about insects that often enter our room. Because the room we occupy is adjacent to the corn garden so sometimes some insects will enter our room. Well, then Reina told me to discuss the matter to Umi. Even I remember the truth that told him about this poison was me. So Reina decided to go straight to Umi to discuss also asking for this little poison." He recalled his conversation with Reina about the insect disorder that often bothers them in the room. So because Reina could not stand it she ended up bringing the matter to Umi for discussion.
Silently, Gio looked at the small bottle that was already in his grasp.
"I'll ask this to Umi." Disconnect Gio while putting the bottle into his desk drawer.
"Mas Gio wants to tell Umi this matter?" Tanya Rara was not sure.
Shuffling quietly, "It's not that, I'll just go ask and won't tell Umi about this matter. Even if Umi finds out later it must be the right day to say it." Denied Gio while carrying a laptop that he had neglected in front of him again.
"Then will this matter be taken to the police station?" Ask Rara to know.
Confused, Gio also does not know what action Safira will take about this case. "I leave the matter entirely to Sapphira because after all Sapphira is the only Annisa family here." Let everything be resolved by Safira because as they talked about in the hospital yesterday that Gio as a man does not need to interfere in this matter.
"That's true but isn't this a serious problem? I'm not sure Safira wants to take this matter to the green table." Doubt Rara was unsure. According to Tempramen Safira, Rara believes she would rather play than take it seriously.
Smiling faintly, "Rara, rest assured Safira will not be that easy to resolve this matter clearly. You may not know this that Sapphira is a little scary girl. He's good at solving problems in his own way." Obviously Gio dispelled Rara's doubts. Sapphira is a girl who is quite scary, this Gio can see from the way she deals with the problem of Annisa is so complicated and convoluted. If it's someone else maybe they're reluctant and just watch. But Sapphira did not, he preferred to look for the root of this problem to the depths. Even the way he used was a way they could never imagine and guess.
Without doing violence but he moves quite smoothly, even his prey can not smell his movements.
"All right, I get it." Rara was still hesitating. Because after all Safira is still small for a case size of this size.
Seriate...
