The Flashback
In the living room of Smith's large family, Davin and his five younger siblings were gathered. One of them is in a bad mood. Who else if not Darrendra Smith,
Darren is currently upset because his favorite snack is eaten to the end by irresponsible people who make the mood of a Darren bad. The result of snacks eaten by irresponsible people makes Darren go on a hunger strike.
"Darren, baby!" Davin called out to his sister gently.
"What!" Darren replied with a slightly taut tone.
Davin who heard the answer from his sister was only able to resign. In his heart 'who is wrong and who is wrong?'
"Patience, Davin! Patience!" inner Davin.
"Eat yuk" Davin asked.
"Not hungry" replied Darren with his super tangled face.
"But you haven't eaten from waking up. And you also do not take lunch," said Andra who also coaxed his sister.
"Did I care?"
"But we care, baby!" Dzaky.
"Stupid."
"Well!"
Hearing every answer from his youngest sister made Davin, Andra, Dzaky and Adnan only sigh.
Then Davin, Andra, Dzaky, and Adnan stared intently at Gilang and Darka. They held her two sisters accountable. Since then, his two younger siblings only focus on their cell phones without wanting to join in persuading his youngest sister to eat. Though they were both the culprits of the youngest brother on hunger strike.
"Deliver! Darkah!" call Davin, Andra, Dzaky, and Adnan at the same time.
The deg!
In a moment Gilang and Darka were shocked when they heard the call from the four elder brothers. And the two of them immediately saw the faces of the four elder brothers.
In a moment Gilang and Darka gulped his saliva roughly when he saw the eye gazes of his four elder brothers.
"Bajukin Darren tuh!" said Andra while glancing towards Darren.
Gilang and Darka looked straight at Darren. And the two widened their eyes when they saw the matted and ugly face of his younger brother.
"Bad face, very face," ledek Darka.
"Again ya," ledek Gilang.
Darren immediately looked at Gilang and Darka's faces with lips that were all about the zoo's inhabitants.
Davin, Andra, Dzaky, and Adnan stared intently at Gilang and Darka. They told the two to persuade Darren, but instead both made Darren bad mood.
"Disappear, Darka! Brother told you to make Darren eat. Not making Darren's mood worse!" davin shouted shrillly in the middle room.
Heard the screams from Davin. They all covered their ears, including Darren.
Gilang and Darka looked at Davin. Can be seen by the two, his elder brother was staring at him with his sharpened eyes.
"Persuading Darren to eat. One day has not eaten anything" Davin said.
"Darren until the hunger strike because you have spent the snacks" said Andra.
"And your job is to apologize and get Darren to eat" said Dzaky.
"If until later in the afternoon Darren has not eaten. And his mood has not improved either. Then we will both punish you. The penalty is that you will wash the dishes after finishing breakfast, lunch and dinner for one month" said Adnan.
"Hm!" Davin, Andra and Dzaky nodded their heads in agreement with Adnan's idea.
Hearing the words and threats from his fourth brother made Gilang and Darka instantly widen his eyes.
While Darren was silently in his heart smiling full of happiness and triumph heard the utterances of his four eldest brothers.
After saying that, Davin and his four younger brothers went to his own room. They will be getting ready to go to the office and to the campus.

Now Gilang, Darka and Darren are in a cafe. A few hours ago, Gilang and Darka managed to persuade his younger brother to be invited to eat with diimingi to be bought some snacks and drinks his favorite.
Currently Gilang, Darka and Darren are choosing food and drinks in the menu book.
After getting it, the three ordered the food and drinks they wanted.
It didn't take long, and their orders came. And those orders are laid out on the table.
When Darren was about to start eating his food. His eyes accidentally saw there was a piece of meat in the food he ordered. As far as he knew, he did not order meat but fried rice mixed with eggs.
"This what?" ask Darren to the waiter.
"That's chicken heart, sir!" the waiter answered a question from Darren.
"Can you work? I was the fried rice dish whose eggs were mixed with fried rice!" darren Bengpak.
"Pardon me, sir!"
Seeing his younger brother who was suddenly angry and even snapping at the servant made Gilang and Darka instantly calm his younger brother down.
"Ren, yes. The servant was not on purpose" Darka said.
"We order something else, yes" persuaded Gilang.
"Udah is not appetizing," Darren replied with a sharpened look in his eyes staring at the waiter.
The servant could only look down in fear of Darren's frightening eyes. That's what the waiter thought.
"You can go" said Gilang.
"What do you want to eat?" darka asked gently as she rubbed her younger brother's head full of affection.
"Or we'll find another cafe. Later there you are free to choose what," said Gilang who also tried to persuade his favorite brother.
Darren looked at the faces of the two older brothers. "Keep the same snacks drinks, when to buy?"
Hearing the question and seeing the begging face of his younger brother made Gilang and Darka smile.
"After we finish eating" Darka replied.
"You have to eat rice first" Gilang added.
"Emmm... Alright!"
Heard the answer from his brother. Gilang and Darka smiled happily.
And after that, they decided to leave the cafe to find another cafe.
Darka and Gilang burst into tears as they recalled their moments with their beloved younger brother. Plus the eyes of the two of them were staring at the fried rice that was in front of him.
"This is Darren's favorite fried rice" Darka said in a soft voice.
"Yes, Darka. Youre right. Our beloved brother really likes fried rice mixed with eggs" said Gilang who confirmed what Darka said.
"Let's see that chicken's liver sauce." Gilang said by staring at where the chicken heart was.
Darka looked at the chicken heart. And Darka smiled. Memory when his younger brother was angry at the maidservant who had mistakenly brought his order.
"I was surprised by Darren. Why Darren hates chicken hearts so much. Though the chicken heart is delicious," said Darka.
Darka's tears poured down his face. So too with Gilang.
"Darrenes. Where are you, honey? Why not go home? Brother misses you so much."
Not only Gilang and Darka were crying. Erland, Agneta, Davin, Andra, Dzaky, Adnan, Daffa, Tristan, Davian, Evan, Carissa, Adrian, Mathew, Nathan, Ivan, and Melvin also cried. They all miss Darren so much.
"Darren, baby!"
"Sister Darren."
"More."
Erland stood up from her seat and walked over to her two sons. His heart was completely crushed hearing the words and seeing the cries of the two.
After Erland stood behind Gilang and Darka. Erland immediately embraced the bodies of her two sons. And instantly, Gilang and Darka's cries broke.
"Papa... I miss Darren. I miss Darren."
Gilang and Darka cried sobbing. Their cries could not be held. Their longing for his beloved brother was so great.
"Papa understands, baby. Papa misses your little brother too. Papa's heart was also broken every day thinking about him. But believe! Your little brother must be fine out there. We just pray for the best."
"What Papa said is right, baby! We pray for Darren. I hope Darren is okay out there and gets back to all of us" Agneta said.
Erland let go of her embrace from her two sons. After which, Erland looked at the faces of the two and wiped away the tears of her son.
"Don't be sad again, okay! Everything's gonna be fine. And Darren will come back to us. Believe me!"
"We believe!" exclaim Gilang and Darka together.
Erland smiled hearing Gilang and Darka's compact answer. And so do other family members.

In the residence of the large family Mendez looks a beautiful girl who is currently preparing in her room. Her name was Chintia Benjamin.
After everything was done, Chintia decided to go downstairs with a happy smile.
Chintia is currently at the residence of Mendez's extended family, her maternal family.
His mother decided to stay for a few months at the family residence when she heard the bad news that befell the grandfather.
When he arrived at the Mendez family residence, Chintia saw the young man who had been chased. And he loved being in the Mendez family home. Seeing the young man she loved so much made her happy.
And Chintia already knew the reason for the arrival of the young man she loved all this time to the residence of the Mendez family. Knowing that made Chintia smile cunningly.
When Chintia was about to step into the dining room, suddenly her mother's younger sister came blocking her way.
"Auntie wants to say something to you, Chintia!"
"What would you say to me?" asked Chintia who was afraid of the Aunt's eyes.
"Auntie doesn't know what your real plan is. But Auntie knows what you're doing outside. Including if you have been interested in Askara. And you want to make Askara yours."
The deg!
Hearing the words from her aunt, Chintia was immediately startled. She did not expect that the Aunt would know her intentions and her feelings for Askara.
"What does Aunt mean? L'm... I don't understand."
"You can fool everyone in this house including your parents. But not with Auntie."
The woman stared fixedly at Chintia's face. Seen a freaking streak there.
"Be a good woman. And do not become a cheap woman by seizing the property of others. In the Mendez family there is no such woman. The women in the Mendez family are all respectable women and fine women."
After saying that, the woman left Chintia who stood there and was shocked when she heard her words.
But a second later, Chintia smiled at the corner of her lips with her eyes staring at the back of the Aunt who had moved away.
"I don't care. Whatever happens, Askara should be mine. If I can't get it, then anyone won't be able to have it including her lover." Chintia spoke in her heart.
After that, Chintia also stepped up her legs following the Aunt to the dining room.

Qenan, Willy, Axel, Dylan, Jerry, Rehan and Darel are already on campus. They were in the cafeteria for breakfast together.
Today is their sixth day without Darren. But they tried to be strong and not cry, even though their hearts were already crying.
"Lan," call Axel.
"Yes," Dylan replied as he stuffed his fried noodles into his mouth.
"How about Micro Sinopec? Everything is safe, right?" ask Axel.
I heard a question from Axel. Qenan, Willy, Axel, Jerry, Rehan and Darel looked directly at Dylan.
"Everything's safe. I've activated the security feature installed in the data storage room. Everything has been prepared by Darren" replied Dylan.
"What actually happened? What are the three companies looking for?" ask Jerry.
"They're not after anything. It's just that they want to make it look as if the Micro Sinopec company has been working with them.!"
"The purpose of their entry into the data storage room was to enter their files and combine them with other files in the room. So....."
Dylan's words were cut off instantly because Willy had already spoken.
"So if at any time the company Micro Sinopec cancel cooperation with the three companies unilaterally, then the three companies will ask the company Micro Sinopec to pay the finali aka compensation. I right?"
"Yes. You're right, Wil! That's the third goal of the company" Dylan replied.
"Sneaky ground" said Qenan angrily.
"Continue what happens if the three companies expose to all of their business partners and business partners Micro Sinopec as well and say that the Micro Sinopec company is cheating?" rehan asked curiously.
Dylan looked at Rehan's face and smiled. "Without me answering. You must have guessed it, Rehan!" exclaim Dylan.
Hearing the words from Dylan made Rehan stare fixedly at Dylan's face. And so did Dylan. After that, the two smiled.
