Chapter 2

At the same time at the funeral this afternoon a man had just delivered his sister's departure to her final resting place.

The man could not believe that he had been abandoned by his only sister. His name was Benni Pratama.

When he was about to leave the public cemetery in Bandung, the man had seen the same thing with him, which was to deliver a loved one to his final resting place.

And he saw a mourner who was very different from other mourners, a very beautiful Bule girl with blonde hair that was as long as the girl's waist, that girl was none other than Shani.

"Sorry mas..night is late and I want to close the cafe." said a waitress politely when waking up Benni.

Benni was surprised he did not believe that he could fall asleep at the cafe when he decided to rest when he came home from his sister's funeral at the cafe to unwind and sad.

Benni got up from his seat and apologized and thanked him when the waitress delivered Benni with an umbrella because it was raining to his car in the parking lot.

Bennipun drove off in his car at low speed as his vision was slightly blocked by the fog.

Suddenly Benni sees a blonde girl walking in the rain while carrying a large backpack on the front and back, and, none other than that girl was Shani who was walking in the rain when she was kicked out by her father.

Benni immediately stepped on the brake when she saw Syani fall and pass out through the rearview mirror of her car.

Benni got out of his car and ran towards the unconscious Syani and took Syani into his car. He continued his journey back carefully.

***

The sun was shining so bright as if it had never poured out its torrential rain and never stopped overnight.

Syanipun woke up, whether he woke up from sleep or his pings last night.he looked around him that felt very foreign.and he saw an infusion needle attached to his hand.Syani lower his leg intends to get out of bed.

"You're awake, I'm sorry.you have my home without your permission, you fainted on the way when I was about to go home." benni said suddenly just standing in front of the door of the room where she slept last night.

Benni intends to see the condition of Syani who passed out last night. He put an infusion on Syani because of Syani's condition is very weak because he did not eat all day yesterday.

"Thank you.." replied Syani.

Benni was surprised.he did not suspect that Syani could and fluent in Indonesian and he also finally knew that Syani was a WNI.

"Where do you live, let me take you home." said Benni

"...."

Syani just kept quiet.he did not know where else to go.he already had no family and home for him to come.

"Why?"ask Benni

"....."Shane remained silent.

"You got a problem..?"ask Benni again. "You can talk to me. Who knows I can help" Benni said.

At first Syani hesitated to speak, because Syani did not know Benni. But after some time Syani finally spoke and told everything in his nature yesterday.

Benni was shocked to hear the story of Syani.he did not expect, there are still people who are narrow-minded like his father Syani.

Benni stepped towards Syani.he embraced and hugged Syani and rubbed Syani's back gently..

"Yes, you have told me your problem, but I don't even know what your name is." said Benni, who just realized that they haven't met."Brother Benni Pratama. 25 Years old, you just call brother".

"I am Syani bang.more precisely Isyani Navfea."balas Syani

"Syani is now 14 years old, and Syani is a new student at Bandung International High School bang." replied Syani and made Benni even more shocked.

"Oo...do you join the acceleration program?" Benni asked increasingly curious about Syani.

"Yes bang.." replied Syani briefly because she again remembered her mother who was very happy when the news that she was accepted at a favorite private school of her mother's choice.

Only 3 days ago Syani and her family celebrated Syani's birthday and graduation.

Benni realized the sadness of Shani, then he approached Syani and embraced her.

"Don't be sad.who have calmed down, don't be lamented anymore.."benni gave strength to Syani who was also aimed at himself while rubbing the head of Shani. Syani replied with a nod.

"From now on this will be your room.the color of your school is full day, the branch will be between your fingers." said Benni

"...." shani is silent."how much do you want to go to school! mom is not there, I was kicked out of the house.I want to pay with what if I go to school??"inner Syani

Benni captures the change in attitude and facial expression of shani..

"Are you thinking about the cost issue..?" Ask Benni who is right on target, and make Syani bow her head in shame

"....."Syani is still at home with her silence

Fffhuuhh....Benni breathed a little upset because of Shani's silence.

Benni stood up and walked towards the closet in the room, she opened it and pulled out a photo album from the closet shelf, then she gave it to Syani.

Syani received the album and opened it sheet by sheet.Benni just silently watched Syani look at the album he gave.Benni waiting for Syani's response to see the photo album.

"This is a picture of who's bang?"ask Syani.Benni smiled

"That's all the pictures of his brother.he left the brother..on the same day as your mother's departure, the branch also saw you there." said Benni in a slightly trembling voice.

Syani was shocked, she did not expect that she and the person who had helped her were lucky.

Living by the most dear.

"But now my brother is no longer sad. Brother is happy, he is now in a better place and he does not feel pain anymore" Benni said with a smile.

"I mean brother?"he tried to get closer and open himself, even though he was still a little afraid and hesitant because Syani had just met and knew Benni for the first time.

"Sister's brother's sick." answered Benni briefly."he's pancreatic cancer.."benni recalled her sister's last moments of unbearable pain.Benni wiped the tears that came out of the corner of her eyes."Brother is now happy, because brother brother is not sick anymore.You must also be happy Syani.Mother you must also be happy there."seru Benni and in Shani's embrace.

Syani understands and understands the meaning of Benni's words.We must be happy when our loved ones are calm in nature, even if the heart is actually broken.

"From now on, whatever your need for a full brother.consider brother as your brother, the branch is so the opposite.maybe this is the fate of God, bring together brother with you who fainted in the street."benni said smiling happily because he got a sister, replacing his sister who had left.

"Yes bang....Syani promised, from now on Syani will be happy and Syani will be a sister who can be proud." replied Syani who can accept her fate, who has accepted her fate, opening up to trust Benni even though Syani has just known Benni.

"Now you have to take a shower and get ready.you wear a brother's clothes in the closet first.later we go shopping buy your equipment, you know,because the new teaching is 1 week away.but before you go you have to have breakfast.."benni said while taking out some clothes stel belonging to his sister and put it on the bed.

"Good bang.." replied Syani while passing to the bathroom that was pointed by Benni.

"Abang wait for you at the dining table." cried Benni while going out and closed the door.

20 minutes later Syani came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and tried the clothes provided by Benni.karna none of which fit (short),finally Syani chose a pink Hoodie in the closet and combined it with jeans over the eyes and gray sneakers belonging to Syani.

Syani and Benni went by car to a shopping mall in Bandung. They bought new Syani school supplies because Syani's equipment was damaged.
