For almost two hours Shanum stayed by the beach without doing anything, he just silently stared at the twilight slowly retreating. At once he realized that the sky had started to turn dark, he glanced at the watch in his hand and immediately panicked.
“ Gawat, how can I not be aware of time anyway.?” He said while patting his forehead slowly.
Shanum reached into the contents of his bag to immediately search for his phone, and he was surprised to see his phone was off. Shanum just remembered that he did it on purpose and after being reactivated, there were so many messages coming in on his phone.
Everyone in the house looked for him with worry, and one of the messages came in was a message from Adera. To calm her family down, she replies to a voice message in a group message, Shanum tells her where she is and where she is right now.
Then Shanum opened a message from Adera that looked very worried, there were so many messages from the man asking for Shanum's whereabouts.
Just wanted to be answered, suddenly a phone call from Adera suddenly entered and made Shanum surprised. Shanum was confused to answer, and he did not want to let Adera wait, until he finally answered the phone call.
“ Hello brother.?”
“ Where are you? I'm surprised to know you disappeared suddenly in a bookstore, without telling me anything. And just now I've been to your house, but you don't exist.”
“ Oh that, I'm again on the beach now.”
“ Hah? Beach, what's there? Same who.?”
“ Only want to go to the beach, I'm alone.”
“ Yes share location, I'm there now.”
“ Make what? I'm going back to my home.”
“ Wait for me there, we go home together. I promised your mom I'd bring you home safely.”
“ Yes, I shared the location.”
The call ends with Shanum sending the location of his current whereabouts to Adera. He again felt confused, Adera's attitude like this made him a little hope for him again.

Adera came about twenty minutes later, it was dark but there was still a little illumination from the street lights that accompanied Shanum's solitude.
Adera ran towards Shanum from where she parked the vehicle, she looked exhausted while adjusting her breathing before speaking before Shanum.
“ Next time, if you invite me to go and say so, I will not forgive you.” Said Adera while pointing at Shanum.
“ Sorry yes brother, I completely forgot to tell sister.” Shanum replied trying to smile sweetly.
Adera then landed her body next to Shanum, now that her breathing had returned to normal. He could talk casually, but there was still a sense of annoyance due to Shanum's strange demeanor today.
“ What's really going on? How did you suddenly say.?” Ask Adera.
“ Nothing.”
“ Lie, there can't be nothing.”
“ Seriously, I just want to go.”
“ You know don't worry about me knowing you said that? I'm afraid you've been kidnapped by bad people again, papa and mama you've believed in me and I don't want to break their trust.”
“ Kak Dera can not be rich gini no.?” Shanum asked suddenly.
“ You mean.?” Adera looked confused by Shanum's words just now.
Shanum lowered his head trying to regulate his emotions, he almost went crazy hearing Adera's remark that he cared so much and worried for her. But it also felt like there was a time bomb ready to explode, Shanum did not know how to handle it.
“ What did you mean just now? Why can't I.?” Repeat Adera glanced at Shanum.
Then Shanum got up from his chair and walked five steps forward, he turned his head towards Adera once more while saying.
“ Lupain aja, now take me home yes kak.” Lontar Shanum who then just made Adera nodded slowly.

The guy had just come out of his room carrying an empty glass in his hand, he was about to head to the kitchen to fetch some drinking water. Then his steps suddenly came to a halt when he heard his brother's voice inside the room, Lingga glanced at Shanum's room which was not tightly closed.
Slowly Lingga approached and peeked in there, seen Shanum who was urgently in his room. As a result Lingga paused the intention to go to the kitchen and chose to go into his sister's room.
“ What's up, sister.?” Tegur Lingga successfully made Shanum stop complaining.
“ I'm less beautiful huh.?” Shanum asked suddenly.
“ Yes.” Answer the original Linga.
“ I'm honest, you are less beautiful.”
Shanum again put on a sad face like he wanted to cry, Lingga was already memorized properly with his brother's gelagat that one. Shanum who questions about himself is usually feeling insecure about himself.
“ No, I'm kidding. You are second beautiful after mama.” Reply Lingga immediately made Shanum's smile instantly expand.
“ More from Sabrina.?” Ask Shanum again.
“ Oh yes I forgot, first mama, second Sabrina, and third you.” Repeating the phallus that returned made Shanum upset.
“ What's really going on? Why suddenly ask about that.?” Sahut Linga that is back made curious.
Shanum then showed a photo on his phone to Lingga.
“ Wait where is she the same as me.?” Shanum asked while showing a photo of a woman on his phone.
“ Who is he.?”
“ Answer, wait where.?”
“ Expect you brother.”
“ Seriously? Prettier me than her.?”
“ She's beautiful anyway, but you're prettier.”
Lingga's answer really made Shanum satisfied, who had felt insecure now was reduced because of the answer from his younger brother.
“ Yes already, you go.” Shanum pushed Lingga up to the door of his room and locked the door after Lingga was brought out by him.
“ Must be because of that UI guy again.” Mumam Linga slowly.

Shanum who has established himself to follow in the footsteps of his mother increasingly trying to get to know the fashion world through Orange. Little by little he was able to make some clothes even if only for dolls.
The two had finished shopping and picked out about ten different types of fabrics, Jingga was busy paying for the cloth fee while Shanum was waiting for her on a chair available to mall visitors.
“ Shanum yes.” Someone's reprimand made Shanum turn his head quickly.
Shanum who saw the face of the figure who called out to him suddenly remained silent on the spot, Shanum admonished the woman and could only nod softly to answer the woman before him.
“ I Kikan his friend Adera.” Say it again while thrusting a hand at Shanum.
“ Yes, I've seen Kikan's feet often in bookstores.” Shanum replied in return for a hand from Kikan.
“ What are you doing here.?” Ask Kikan.
“ Nemenin mom shopping.”\ Reply Shanum.
“ Oh kirain you with Adera again.”
“ Not really.”
“ Afterwards Adera is rarely on campus lately, and after I find out it turns out she often goes with you.”
“ Mean Kikan's foot, Dera's brother skipped college.?”
“ No, usually he is on campus from morning until afternoon, but lately rada rarely is it.”
“ Oh yes, you know that Adera has a boyfriend.?” Kikan continued to make Shanum surprised.
“ Loh, instead of Kikan's brother Dera's girlfriend huh.?” Shanum Sahut.
“ Hah, me? I wasn't. He's my friend, his name is Gea and they've been dating since the beginning of college.” Answer Kikan which makes Shanum more agitated for him.
Kikan who turned out to have other activities was resigned to retreat, Shanum who was still cheerful suddenly turned moody. He was not excited anymore when Orange had returned and took him elsewhere.
“ You why.?” Ask Orange.
“ No reason ma, we go straight home yes.” Shanum Lirih.
