The two brothers were still at the edge of the pool, Arsen approached Sarah's body lying helpless, very weak and unable to get up. The wind made Sarah's body start to shiver with cold.
“Stepson! You okay?” asked Arsen his face looks worried looking at the pale face of Sarah, this young man gathered beside Sarah.
“I will strangle you later,” umpat Sarah with the rest of her energy can still vent her anger on Arsen.
“I don't know. If you can't swim,” this young man.
Arsen then slipped one of his hands under Sarah's knee, to help the cold girl leave the pool.
“You what you are!” For a moment this girl was in revolt with Arsen's treatment of lifting up her body.
“Do not move or I will drop you!” threatening Arsen, made Sarah wrap her arms around Arsen's neck because she did not want to fall. For a moment this young man watched Sarah's arm twitching to him. Suddenly his heart was racing again. She was this close to Sarah, not feeling the corner of her lips attracted to her heart felt blooming.
Arsen carried the weak body towards his room in the kitchen, in the row of servant rooms. All the servants' eyes were wide-eyed when they saw their master holding Sarah. This was the first time they saw these two brothers not fighting. Arsen continued to pass past the servants who were staring in wonder at the sight of steps.
Ibu Odah and Erina were in the kitchen discussing the menu for the big event tomorrow, no less astounding. For a moment they were silent to see Arsen and Sarah. But the look on their faces turned frantic when they saw Sarah's face in Arsen's sling look pale and wet clothes.
“Ar, Sarah why?” erina asked following Arsen's steps to find out what made her daughter look weak. Odah's mother doesn't stay quiet, follows Erina.
Arsen just kept silent not answering. He passed quickly until he was at Sarah's doorstep. Erina rushed forward to help open Sarah's room door.
Arsen went into the narrow room, then lowered Sarah's body on the small bed where it had been.
“He fell in the pool! Quickly help her change clothes,” Arsen said.
“Fall in pool!” Erina looks worried about what happened to her daughter. “How can she not swim,” Erina uncovers reality.
“Dear you drowned!” Odah's mother immediately advanced ahead of Erina. Anxiety is imprinted on her face, hearing Sarah drown, the girl she already considers her own daughter.
“Quick help him!” arsen's orders.
“You have nothing, right?” mother Odah's question overcame Erina's worries as her birth mother.
Sarah just nodded slowly, the body felt shivering and very weak, after almost losing its life. Arsen retreated slowly letting Erian and Odah's mother take care of Sarah, then left the room to clean up. After seeing his master leave, Odah's mother begins to help this poor girl.
“Bi Odah, let me take care of it. Please make him a warm drink,” Erina's pinta who takes over the duties of Odah's mother.
“Good madam.” Although not willing to step back, Odah's mother slowly gives Erina her own chance to take care of her daughter.
Arsen went into his room to wash himself and changed his body clothes still shaking in fear, when he saw Sarah collapsed in the pool earlier. After neatly this young man threw his body into his king-size bed. He felt very tired of what happened earlier, his memory again revolved around thinking about the love confession he had revealed to Sarah.
Arsen sighed heavily, still regretting why his heart was anchored to his enemy. But he admitted that his feelings during this time were love. “She was my first love.” Inner Arsen closed his eyes.
“I love him! That girl was my first love. Should I feed this feeling? He and I are like the earth and the sky. We can not possibly be together, the status as a child that is not clear origin. I am the successor to two big companies. What does the world say? Not to mention his mother who had ruined my parents' household more and worse he was my half-brother. Impossible to be with him”
“Aaahhggg.” Arsen shuffled his hair in frustration. “This was my first time in love, it should be beautiful. Why be the source of problems and wrong people,” rambles Arsen staring at the ceiling of the room.
“I have to forget it even though the first love person said it was difficult to escape I will try. From today I must avoid it,” concocted Arsen steadily, will try to forget Sarah. He thought about his destiny for so long that he did not feel asleep.

The afternoon had golden light adorning the sky. The handsome young man who was asleep in his soft bed, started writhing gathering half his life, his eyes started to open.
“Troup child.” That's the first word Arsen said right now. This young man sat down considering Sarah's circumstances. His heart was tingled wanting to know how the girl was doing. Arsen stepped down to the bathroom to clean himself and then would go back to see Sarah's situation. But when he was about to hold the door handle he thought again.
***
Arsen walked into the kitchen to see Sarah's condition, after a while, he was in front of Sarah's room. This young man took a slightly nervous breath, the pounding back he felt, as he was about to meet Sarah. But ventured to hold the door handle knocking slowly then entered.
Sarah lay on the bed, looking at the door. He sighed when he saw the annoying young man in his room. Sarah then woke up, sitting with her body resting on the head of the bed.
“How are you doing?” asked Arsen awkwardly, walked over then pulled the chair in the room sitting beside the bed.
“As you can see I'm alive!” sarah smiled at her enemy.
“I have explained, I do not know, if you can not swim,” kilah Arsen in a low tone to defend.
Sarah grunts her lips at Arsen's alibi. “Do you see me asking please? You're laughing!”
“Ia. I do know. I guess you're a Japanese robot, which can do everything, but there's also something you can't do. Moreover, the smallest thing like swimming while you can not.”
Sarah just stared at the young man in front of her, not wanting to fight and just throwing away his strength.
“My stepson is sure of all the guesses who your father is? I don't think your father was a swimmer. You are not a child .... ” Arsen hung his words, quickly smothering his mouth with both hands, as he saw Sarah's eyes glaring at him. He began to realize that his words had hurt Sarah.
Arsen released his hand, smiling stiffly. “I release .. I forgot. All right, from now on I won't discuss the matter of who your father is anymore. Even if you're a genie's son .. upss .... ” Arsen again forced a smile on his side while scratching his non-itchy nape when he saw Sarah back glaring at him.
“He, I promise.” Arsen raised his two index fingers.
Sarah grimaced the young man beside her staring in wonder at Arsen's statement. “Appointment?” sarah asked to reassure Arsen, at least he could be relieved he would not get an insult about who his father was. He is better off as an unacknowledged stepson than an illegitimate child.
“Eeemm.” Arsen.
The atmosphere of silence when they first got together without quarreling, the awkward feeling included to choose silence. Arsen turned his gaze, staring at the contents of Sarah's small room and in sharp contrast to the room he had, the size was far many times the breadth, with a large and comfortable bed, and luxurious with a lot of comfort. While his half-brother only had a narrow room with a small bed just like the other servants. What a fate for his half-brother. It's not fair for a stepson of the Hutama family.
After seeing the state of his half-brother Arsen was about to leave the room.
“Good stepson I go first,” say goodbye Arsen then get up from his seat. Sarah nodded slowly.
Arsen stepped out as he was in front of the door his steps stopped, with his back to Sarah.
“Troup child.” Call Arsen back to Sarah. “Sorry ...” said Arsen apologized for the mistake that pushed Sarah into the pool, then passed out of Sarah's room.
One word of apology that came out of Arsen's mouth successfully made Sarah's eyes bully, his jaw seemed to fall to hear the haughty young man say sorry to him. Arsen came out of Sarah's room. It turned out that Erina had been from earlier at the door, observing the meeting of this half-brother. Realizing that Arsen is going out Erina then rushes into hiding not wanting her whereabouts to be known by Arsen.
Erina, who was about to see Sarah in her room, was surprised to see Arsen at the place, talking to her daughter. And accidentally overheard all their conversations. Erina was shocked when she heard that the young man lowered his level of self-esteem by apologizing to Sarah.
