Alvin blinked his eyes. When the eyes were fully opened, the first thing he did was check the phone lying on the nightstand.
Highlight the sharp eyes of the man turned grim. It had been a few weeks that Aira was very indifferent to him. When asked, Aira said he was just very busy preparing for the Olympics. But Alvin felt there was something odd about Aira's attitude towards him. Want to know but Alvin himself is too prestigious to ask what is wrong.
However, his mind always remembered an Aira. Even when I woke up in the morning. The commotion outside made Alvin wake up. The teenager glanced at the wall clock and checked what was happening. As expected, the commotion from both his parents. Mr and Mrs Damara.
The highlight of the injured eye was clearly emanated in the black eyes of Alvin Dennis Damara. All divorce children may think that parental divorce is the worst reality to accept.
But for Alvin, maybe it could be the start of happiness for their family. Unfortunately, his family has always been like this from a long time ago. I don't know when, Alvin can't stand it.
Because broken home children are not just those who have divorced parents but for children like Alvin who are stuck in a toxic relationship or family. A family that should be a safe and comfortable place. But for Alvin. They are painful and a symbol of suffering.
"Noritas ...." With complaints and eyes of longing. Alvin really couldn't stand it.

"Noritas ...."
Aira flinched and blinked in shock when she saw Alvin already sitting before her. Just obstructed table.
"It's still busy?" alvin asked with a tone of complaint.
Aira nodded her head then said, "Lusa leaves."
Alvin looked at Aira with a glare of his eyes. In a soft tone, he resumed his speech. "What's really going on?"
Aira was busy with her book. He woke up and looked back at the man in front of him.
"Father," he said.
"If there is a problem. Please talk Aira. We'll finish everything well. Don't keep pretending to say 'no papa'. Can you be a little honest?" Alvin spoke with a stifled tone of annoyance. He does not want to be the spotlight of people around, therefore he keeps the tone of speech.
Aira stared at Alvin. His forehead is not like. Feeling sick of everything. Slowly clucking while glaring in wonder.
"Ra ..." said Alvin slowly but full of pressure.
The contemptuous tone and condescending gaze made Alvin gasp for a moment.
"Ok, don't pretend. So it's better to end it all. I'm so tired of not knowing!" Aira spoke in a high tone then stood up. Leaving Alvin frozen for it.

"You've been told, that's why you're a big brother?" Ray spoke after hearing Aira's words about Alvin.
Aira coughing. Staring intently at Ray in front of him. As a child, the two children were very close and familiar. The marriage of their parents. But it turns out Ray has more feelings for Aira and expresses her feelings when they were in junior high school.
Aira couldn't accept it and has been since. Both are getting further away. It was as if a large wall was blocking them.
"Rb ... Brother is serious." Ray spoke firmly. He knew it long ago. That by law, state or religion. The relationship between the two is not a forbidden relationship.
"Abang ..." lamented Aira with a stifled sobbing. Honestly, he missed Ray too. But only just a brother not a couple. He has loved to play with Ray since childhood. His protector.
Protector, but that was. Aira threw her face away and stared at the rain outside. Through the glass walls in the cafe, Aira saw a rain stub. But it flashed a shadow of how the bullying was done Adelia and her friends. Ray was always there and never helped him.
Funnily enough, he let himself in the bullies hoping that one day his brother would come back. But not anymore.
"Dek ..." said Ray slowly. Aira looked at him and a clear drop fell from the girl's eyes.
"Abang wants us to kayak first. Laugh alike. Keep going"
Aira's witless laughter did not make Ray continue his speech. Frowning brows while looking at Aira who was still laughing. The girl then said, "From a long time ago. Our relationship is only about brother and sister. Not a relationship between a man and a woman."
Aira gave a rough sigh and then said, "Lagian, Aira has no feelings other than the affection from her sister for her brother."
