Tonight, Indi gets a call from an unknown number. Without a second thought, Indi immediately accepted
that call.
"Hallo.." answered subtly.
"Hallo... This is with Indi?" there was a middle-aged woman's voice across there.
"Yes, I'm with Indi. Who is this with?"
"I'm Miss Rika, Edwin's mother. You're Edwin's girlfriend, right?"
Indi was shocked to hear the words of his mother Edwin. What's more, her mother called Indi and told Indi her boyfriend Edwin. Who did he get his Indi number from? Certainly one of his sons. But which one?
"I'm a friend mom. Ad...can I help you?" Indi replied with a stammer. She's very nervous. He almost dropped his phone because he was half panicked.
"Three days later Edwin arrived in Indonesia. I'll pick her up at the airport. You wanna come?" ask Miss Rika.
Indi seemed to be unable to continue breathing. Instantly his body froze, sculpting. He was still digesting the words of Bu Rica. Rika's mom invited her to pick up Edwin. He didn't hear wrong?
"Edwin nobody asked me to come pick him up ma'am." Indi said politely.
"Yes, but I brought you. All of you want to meet me." he said.
This time Indi's heart seems to want to be dislodged. "Mom wants to meet me? You want to know me as Arga's girlfriend or Edwin?" indi's mind began to unfocus.
“How to Indi?” Bu Rika awakened Indi from her daydream.
"Later to tell mom, it seems like I have to work that day." he said with doubt.
"All right. I'm waiting for you." Bu Rika then disconnected her phone.
"What should I do now?" Indi took back a breath that in a few seconds he had forgotten. “Bu Rica thinks I'm Edwin's girlfriend. Edwin or Ricky who told his mother? Looks like I should ask Edwin what he means.” Indi.
"Ed, your mother called me." Indi reported this to Edwin via a short message. He wanted to see Edwin's reaction.
"Why did my mom call you?"
"He asked me to come to your airport."
"My mom is there" she said. Though Edwin will feel very happy if Indi come to pick him up.
“What are you stories about us? How could your mother call me to come pick you up?”
“I never told anything to my mother. My mom knows where you are?”
“Lho, why did you ask me. I thought you gave my phone number to your mother.” Indi fishing. Find out who's behind all this.
“Ricky possibly. I did tell him about you once. He is indeed nosy.” Said.
“So? Not you?” Indi grunted disappointedly. He actually wanted to come pick up Edwin. But he didn't have the courage to meet Miss Rika, Edwin's mother.
“Not. Why would I ask my mom to call you to come pick me up. I can do it myself." he said.
Seeing Edwin's reaction, Indi felt he did not need to go to the airport. "It looks like Edwin doesn't have any feelings for me. He said he could do it himself, but he didn't" he thought. He regrets having thought of Ricky's words to prefer Edwin and make him open a little heart to Edwin.

"You're close to my brother, aren't you?" Arga asked Indi directly over the phone.
"Where do you know?" ask Indi who is not too surprised by Arga's question. If his mother already knew that Indi was close to Edwin, it is not impossible that Arga will soon find out.
"Have you no need to dodge. You love my brother, don't you?" Arga was getting a little angry.
"Your sister and I have nothing to do. I love you, but you still have someone else." Indi's answer made Arga feel guilty
"I'm sorry." said Arga.
"Until when? When will I have to wait?"
Arga did not answer Indi's question.
"Do you love my brother?" asked Arga in an annoyed tone.
"I don't know." replied Indi. Indi was confused by her feelings. Edwin is too kind and he always feels comfortable when communicating with Edwin but he has already given his heart sign that the heart belongs to Arga.
"No, you love my brother."
"I said I didn't know. Maybe when you broke up with Hera I knew the answer." Indi. Then they fought again like the days before.
The quarrel made Arga very upset. Indi's answer left him dissatisfied. Arga wants Indi to answer no, Indi does not love Edwin, not does not know. If Indi answers not knowing, Indi could love Edwin. If Edwin was not his older brother, the brother who always loved him, the brother who made him a scholar, made him achieve his goals as a teacher, maybe he had beaten the boy named Edwin.
Arga locked himself in a room. Moreover, he knew, in a few days Edwin would be in Indonesia. Edwin will definitely meet Indi. Edwin will definitely take Indi. Arga couldn't think of that. His heart began to ache, to sting.
He's going to Hera soon. "I must end this immediately with Hera. Then come on Indi and have him whole." thought Arga.

"Her, I'm sorry. This time I really can no longer maintain our relationship." Arga said as soon as Hera opened the door of the house for him.
"What's? I told you many times I don't want us to break up. I'd rather die." Hera began to sob and quickly her hand picked up the scissors on the table next to the door.
"This view again." Arga snorted in annoyance. Hera cried even louder, grabbing the attention of her neighbor.
"Relax Hera, calm down.."command Arga.
"How can I calm down, you always ask me to break up. You pull your words, or these scissors will stick me in my stomach." Hera threatened.
"You calm down first." Slowly Arga took the scissors from Hera's hand. Hera hugged Arga very tightly. Arga's thoughts drifted on Indi, Indi, Indi. He couldn't even return Hera's embrace.
“Why do you always want to break up with me? What's my fault?” Hera rests her head on Arga's chest.
Hera hugged Arga. He doesn't want to let go of Arga. He loved Arga. Arga was the most handsome teacher at the school. Having Arga made him feel proud.
Arga was silent. He was unable to answer Hera's question. “You're not wrong. What is wrong is my heart. I can't love you. I love other women.” The words were at the tip of Arga's tongue and ready to air until the ears of Hera. But Arga held back lest he really utter it. It will only make things worse. Hera could have been going to find out about Indi and harm him.
Arga took a deep breath to calm his mind. It seems he has to be more patient. "Today I failed again. I am nothing more than a coward. I am a true loser." muttered Arga inwardly.
