5 years later..
"Oh sir, just one time, after that you'll know if I can satisfy me or not." A pela**r faceless lightly sells himself to tall and handsome young men. Groping others with that tiny, smooth hand was shameless. Without writing pela**r it Andrian or often called Andri, the name of the young man who was careless to refuse the invitation stood up. Remove the hand of the woman who is now standing next to him. Does this woman have no self-respect at all?
"You demon woman. Never touch me." His words were cold and passed without looking back.
"Yeah, he's so creepy." The woman muttered that night.
Andri stepped out. He was no longer at home in a noisy place like this. At first he was only here to agree to a colleague's invitation for good manners, otherwise he would never have been willing to go to a place like this. He hated this kind of place. His steps stopped when he saw a teenager who was gathering with his friends, not forgetting the alcohol he now held. Laughing when his girlfriend kisses him on the cheek in front of a friend, it may be to show that he has a girlfriend. His firm jaw hardened, he surely came to the crowd.
"Zian!" His screams blared.
The teenager named Zian turned his head with a feeling of anxiety. His heart seemed to stop beating when he saw his brother staring intently at him. The alcohol on her hands had already fallen on the sofa flooding into the woman's miniskirt. His mouth opened with eyes glaring.
"Sister?" He stood up, slowly approaching "Why here?" He held Andrian's hand and led him out, afraid he would be scolded and humiliated in front of his friends and everyone. What will be the cool image.
Not yet out, Andrian saw a familiar figure. His eyes were fixed on the figure who was now silent with an expressionless face in the middle of a drunk person.
Up outside, Andrian's hand jerked at his sister. He held her by Zian's wrist and dragged her to his car. A well-parked range rover dominates other cars.
The younger brother, Zian is a teenager who has just entered high school. With all the affection given by the people closest to him, the father, mother, and brother himself made him a spoiled child. I like to spend money and play. It was enough that Andrian gave her a subtle admonition. Now then? Don't expect it to happen again.
"Come brother, I've grown up. My other friends are free at this age. Why can't I?" Her lips were whining, her cheeks were also red from the alcohol she drank a few minutes ago. Andrian remained silent saying nothing but his expression looked furious his sharp eyes looked sinister. If only the one in front of him was his subordinates surely they would not be able to snort in the least. But in front of him now was his sister, the spoiled child he always spoiled.
In the past, as a child Andrian felt sorry for his sister because he had to live a heavy life, he never had a toy that he craved a small child, he never had, he never vacationed in a good place like his friends, or just eat good food like other families. So when he is able, as much as possible whatever the wishes of the younger brother will be directly he participated, will never know if his younger brother is now a bad boy who is naughty.
"Shut up!" Jerk Andrian who is now focused on the wheel after pairing the seltbelt for him and the person next to him.
"Huh! This brother was like he had never been young -" his sentence came to a halt. A second later a feeling of regret crept into Zian's heart. She recalled the time when her brother had to work part-time to ease the burden on his father during High School. He should never have said that.
"Sorry.." whispered.
Andrian just glanced over without any intention of disarming.
The journey feels awkward because no one speaks. Zian looked out at the glass while Andrian remained focused on the wheel.
Don't want to stay in this situation any longer. Andrian sped up his car. Zian who daydreamed scrunched his forehead. He was half drunk so he was not afraid, even happy because it was as if he was going to be in the racecourse.
The car they were driving arrived at a luxurious apartment. Andrian opened the door for himself and turned to open the door for Zian who was half drunk.
Staying the same, Andrian drags Zian into the apartment, takes him into his room and throws him into the bed.
Dizziness whack Zian's head, he had not yet moved from his surprise a blanket wrapped his body. Her brother is very strange.
His body cannot move.
"Sister, selanin." his horrors.
"Sleep!" Andrian resolutely.
"Where can I sleep like this. Again, I haven't cleaned up the body"
"Usually you never take a shower either." After saying that Andrian left. When he opened the door, Zian's voice intruded.
"Sleep Zian.."
Hearing her brother's softening voice she felt relieved.
Andrian closed the door he had opened. His footsteps turned towards the balcony of his room.
It had been five years, familiar feelings had penetrated back into his heart. Not a beautiful feeling full of flowers. But a deep heartache. If contemplated again. There is nothing wrong with his heartache. Everyone will go through that phase. But why does it feel so bad?
The flow of blood flowing to his heart seemed to turn into thorns that made his breath tight. For the first time he realized. If there is one type of disease that cannot be treated by a doctor.
Looking into the room, Zian was sleeping so soundly. No matter if not his room, as long as it is a comfortable mattress, wherever, whenever, he will always fall asleep quickly.
Andrian had insomnia for a long time. Starting from the moment when he continued the company of the father where he had to work extra hard to build it into a big company like now. To prove to the world that he is capable, that he is no longer the cowardly teenager he was in the past.

Morning, routine as usual. Breakfast with coffee and bread. Departure to the office no less than seven hours, as a leader he must be a guide for his work. Not only to make rules, but also to obey them.
But this morning something was different, Andrian had to deliver Zian first.
"I didn't bring a car.."
"Taxi ride"
"Oh brother.just deliver me what's hard. It's six o'clock, right?" A little hasty Zian rubbed his shoes randomly. The clothes he was wearing were the uniforms he left here so there was no need to bother if he stayed here. And about books? Don't ask. He always left his book in the locker. Whether there is homework or not.
" 5 minutes brother wait." Andrian looked at the watch.
"Where are the other shoes?" Andrian rolled his lazy eyes.
"Sister.. Where's the left shoe?"
"Where do I know?" The answer.
"That's a big brother's shoe." Zian slapped the floor he was sitting on.
"Open you always wear it, you wear it last week. Where did you put it?" Without moving much Andrian took the shoes that were behind the shoe rack. Then throw it at Zian.
"If it had been faster." Zian Mumbled.
Andrian left Zian who snorted not like "quick finish. Or I'll stay you here"
***
Not far from the Zian school, exactly three blocks to the right side there is a kindergarten that must be passed by Andrian if you have to go to the office. The boy who passed by waiting for the class began to be the object of Andrian's view. It's still seven and a half hours so it's okay if he drives casually.
His eyes were on someone who was delivering a boy. The same figure from the bar yesterday. What's wrong with the world? From what people say that humans have seven twins in one world. Did Andrian just see that miracle? Because there is no way that figure will be in the same city as him, right?
The chaos that had come to mind from last night seemed to have re-emerged.
Evidently from Andrian who began to accelerate the speed of his vehicle. His breath began to hunt.
Note: when Andrian's father was fired and moved to the city, Zian was still in 3rd grade SD. Two years later Andrian was already in college and his father's company had begun to develop, which means Zian was 5th grade Elementary and Andrian was 18 years old. If calculated with the current is 5 years later then Andrian is 23 years old and Zian class 10 or 1 High School.
