"OK! I put the flash on the table, I went to the kitchen first!" Kayra rushed to the kitchen to prepare some snacks and drinks that she had bought before Winda came.
"Who is Kay?" Ask Ayu.
"Ohh, brother Ayu! There's a friend of mine we'd like to study with for exam preparation"
"Oh that's it, thankfully he didn't hear me call you Kayra.." said Ayu.
"Ah that... Actually, he already knew we were twins..." Kayra.
"Huh? How can?!"
Kayra also briefly told of their meeting in the past.
...****************...
Next morning....
"So anybody know anything about you?" Ask Kenzo.
"So sister! We also had to tell him... But he promised I'd keep that secret..." Kayra.
Kenzo breathed his long breath. He sat back on the sofa thinking about Kayra and Kiara.
"Listen Kay, it's not a matter of him keeping that secret. But how hard we cover all this, it will slowly be revealed later"
Kayra just looked down listlessly.
"Next time you have to be more careful again" Kenzo looked at the watch in his hand.
"It seems I have to leave now" Kenzo moved from his seat and hurried off to work.
"Heart-hat, baby!" Ayu.
"If so, I'll go too!" kayra said and took her bag.
"Ah yes, be careful on the road, Kayra!"
...****************...
Kenzo stops his car right in front of Kiara's house.
GECK... GECK... GECK...
CZECHELK...
"Sister! Why come here early in the morning?" Ask Kiara who just finished cleaning the house.
"I've heard from Kayra that one of your friends knows your secret" Kenzo said.
"Yes, but nothing. They will eventually know everything. Yes how else" The resigned faces of Kiara and Kayra are very similar.
Kenzo no longer knew what to do.
"Look, you better not have to work anymore, let me just bear it all"
"But brother-"
"As long as we can prevent it, then we do!"
"Eum... Yes, brother, thank you!"
"I'll go to work first!"
"Yes, be careful!"
Kenzo continues on his way to an auction.
Today there will be a blue mine to be auctioned. The mine has not been visited for a long time and if seen it is very useless.
But who would have thought there were some people who knew about the old mine.
"Haha... This time I have to get the mine!" Eric said in the car.
"Of course, sir, surely people will think it's just an old mine so there will be no fans" said Eric's assistant, whose name is Sam.
"Yes... Let's see it later!"
...****************...
"This time I'll show you a picture! This is the mine that we're going to auction today..." Said the host while showing an image on the projector.
"Hm.. It's just an old mine..."
"But the mine is very large, it can be made a new development there!"
"Who would build there, is far from the city and the land is not good!"
Many of the company's people were raving about judging the old mine.
"Well we'll start at 100 million! Is there anything else?"
"Gee.. How could that mine cost so much..."
"Yes yes!"
"120!"
Eric just fell silent watching the people start to raise the price.
"We'll see, until when do you survive?" Eric's Mumbles.
Moments later, that number ended at 500 million.
"Good... Is there anything higher than that price?" Everything was almost silent not speaking.
"If not the mine will be owned by the father who is here..." Said the Host while pointing to a man who was in front of him.
"We'll close from three... Two... Sa-"
"700!"
The voice instantly made everyone look towards the person. Who else if not Eric who offers such a high price.
"Gee.. That's the Adhitama family! How could he buy that old mine?"
"Maybe make it a place of recreation... Ahaha!"
"Wah... It seems like Mr. Adhitama has chosen a very good number. Now does anyone want to add but otherwise the blue mine will belong to Mr. Adhitama..."
Eric was so proud that he finally got the mine. Many people think they are stupid. But they don't know the privilege of that mine.
"Excuse me, am I late?"
"Ah... Not really, sir... Eums.. Ah sir Wardani! It's just that the blue mine auction is already 700 million!"
"Hmm....? Apparently so... Doesn't anyone want to add any more?" Kenzo. Everyone just fell silent.
"Argh! Why is he disrupting this show? How troublesome!" Eric's Mumbles.
"If there isn't, I'll add it! 1.5 M!" Kenzo's words left everyone speechless in disbelief.
"What-what?!"
"He's not sane, is he? How could that old mine be at such a price?"
"It can't be allowed....!" eric said, clenching his hand.
...****************...
"I'm home!"
Dina just got home from school. When he entered the house, he saw many of his father's workers in front of Eric's room.
"Uncle what is this?" Dina asked one of Eric's co-workers.
"That's Miss Dina, Mr. Eric it looks like her asthma is coming back"
"Huh?! What's?" Dina hurriedly went into Eric's room and saw his father lying weakly on his bed.
"PAPA!?"

Kayra and her three friends went to the cafeteria. They accidentally cross paths with Devan who just came out of the canteen.
Kayra who saw him smiled towards Devan and Devan who saw Kayra also returned her smile.
Since yesterday's incident, Kayra asked Devan not to stay away from her again.
"From now on you don't have to get far from me anymore! Understood?" Kayra.
"But... I'm not good with Lo's friends... His gaze was deadly!" Devan said with a small chuckle.
"What the hell? Lo aja who thinks it is like that, eum. or at least smile if you meet on the road... That pout is so ugly your face!" Kayra.
"Yes, yeah..."
And from then on Devan no longer shunned Kayra, but there was still a great sense of guilt from Devan.
DRINGG... DRINGG....
Devan reached for a smartphone in his pocket. He saw the name 'Dina' on the screen.
"Tumben Dina called... Hello, Din?"
".... Brother! When will I come home?"
"It looks like there's one more lesson, why?" ask Devan.
"Papa's disease relapses again... Hicks..."
"What?!"
