INCEPTIONS

Chapter 22's

Kelvin looked down with a tense face, while Kenneth sitting in front of him had a flat face. After Darel exited his apartment, Kenneth went straight into the apartment without looking at him.

As soon as he walked towards the man, Kenneth glanced at him then was surprised to see his limp walk. Even the man he already thought of as big brother immediately walked up to him and swept him all the way to the sofa.

Half an hour passed, but Kenneth had no sign of opening his voice, but he was waiting for Kenneth to ask even though he might be very resigned.

"So?". Kenneth broke the silence.

Kelvin looked up, thinned his lips then said. "So, I'm shaking the car".

There was no response, Kenneth deliberately waited for a more detailed answer from Kelvin. "So I went home on foot, and then on the road like a car".

"Why not take a taxi or an angkot".

"Eungh". Kelvin moaned, confused as to what to answer. Because basically he did not want to ride any vehicle, because Darel had already upset him because he had to wait for the man to finish. Even the Darel bike was kicked, hopefully Darel did not know it.

"Darel where? Not with you?".

Pestilent.

They haven't been okay since the school bell.

"Darel ngaret sis, but he was following me. So, we went home together". Kelvin replied as much as possible with a calm face.

Kenneth nodded briefly then wordlessly laid his body on the sofa. Kelvin, who saw it, looked down again, focusing on the bruise again on his brother's body.

But again, he could only be silent. No matter how many wounds on his brother's body, he still did not dare to force or offend all of it. He still deeply values Kenneth's privacy, despite the fact that there are many questions in his brain. About what Kenneth is doing out there.

"Aren't you here long?". Kelvin asked, asking.

Kenneth took a quick glance then closed his eyes and nodded.

"Want Kelvin drink?". Kelvin asked again, still paying attention to his older brother who seemed to be very exhausted.

"No need". Reply Kenneth casually.

The sound of the ringing of the phone made Kelvin pursed his lips. The voice came from Kenneth, the man took his phone from inside his pocket

Mr. Adit

"Cash, Ken".

"Yes, why?".

"Where are you? Said you just met Arka?".

"I'm okay sir".

"Oh good, here I am also in the hospital. Bastian told me about Arka in the hospital".

"What's the word, sir?".

"He's not papa, just not conscious. Maybe he's conscious tomorrow".

"Thankful deh".

"Yes, I closed it first".

"Yes".

Kenneth looked at his phone, typing a message for his friends about the state of Arka.

Meanwhile, Kelvin who had been silent since then was increasingly silent. That phone conversation might be a big question mark for him. Let alone mentioning the name of someone who felt very foreign to him. Ah, even she never knew who her brother's friends were.

Now he can overdo it. Over-knowing all about Kenneth, to let him know anything about the man. Which made him anxious, anxious, even worried at the same time when the man came to him.

"Would you like to eat?". Kenneth turned his face away from the phone screen, looking at Kelvin who was still unmoved.

Kenneth pursed his lips, his hands raised and shook them in front of Kelvin's face.

"The". The repugnant does not like. "Don't dream".

Kelvin gasped slowly, then he looked down. "Sorry, brother".

Without saying anything Kenneth walked out of the apartment, Kelvin who was still standing looked heavy. He sat himself down violently, looking at his injured knee.

Kenneth still wanted to cover everything from him. Even one precious part of his life, Kenneth never talked about it. Kelvin felt useless, only living to trouble the man.

Instead of sharing stories, but in fact Kenneth never did it all. Kelvin never knew a single thing about the man, knowing how closed Kenneth was to him.

Here's a lot of telling stories that Kelvin, who complained a lot that Kelvin. Kenneth once promised to come if he had any trouble. Hoping that Kenneth would be like that if the man did need him. But until this moment, Kenneth just came with his bruises, food, or just asking how his day is now. Kenneth didn't talk about anything about his own life.

Kelvin was that desperate.

While Kelvin walks out of the apartment, in the main lobby he crosses paths with Daren. The man was still wearing a school uniform, staggering with a bag of crackles.

Daren greets.

"Oi, sis".

Kenneth raised his eyebrows, stopped and looked carefully at Daren.

Daren who felt bullied immediately looked at herself. "Why? Is something wrong?".

"Where are you out of?". Kenneth was confused.

"Oohh". Daren scratched his eyebrows, then showed his crackle bag. "Here, buy something to eat".

"Lo himself out of Kelvin.

Kenneth just nodded briefly. When he was about to walk, he turned his body. Looking at Daren who was not far away from him.

"Dareni". Call hoarse.

"Yes?".

Daren was still there, standing and waiting for what Kenneth said.

While Kenneth himself stared blankly, looking at Daren's body shorter than him with a faint smile. Reminding him of Kelvin, they were like twins.

Kenneth let out a small breath. "Titip Kelvin's".

Kenneth's gone.

Daren opened her mouth, her face still watching Kenneth walking away from her. He furrowed his brows in confusion. "meaning?". Ask yourself.

Not long after he left. Although his mind was still overwhelmed by Kenneth's puzzling speech.

While Kenneth himself walked into his car, holding the steering wheel with a rumbling feeling. Recalling the words of Gwen who wanted to take him away, also Fina who still did not want to accept his presence.

"No matter!! Because the kid I thought of as Kenzo!!".

"You're horrifying, right? You heard what your mom said, right?".

"Don't get me wrong if one day you separate from Kenneth, I'll take Kenneth away from this house. Ma'am's gonna take care of him, school him abroad".

He clearly heard, he was not deaf. He could still hear how Fina rejected him. Disillusioned. Sure oes.

But seeing how Kelvin always asked for protection from him made him think again.

Gwen wants to take him away, continue her education abroad. It was with great hope that he could start a new chapter, without being hurt by his parents' words.

He who just realized that his life is very meaningful, again had to think how about Kelvin when he left.

Kelvins. Which he considered his own brother. The man is not yet an adult, yet he can take good care of himself. Because he understands how his life used to be, Kelvin still needs it.

He couldn't have just left Kelvin. Just putting it on Daren wasn't a good idea either. Both still do not understand what.

How can he sleep in peace. At the same time Fina and Kelvin haunt his mind.
