By morning, Reva was well dressed and immediately headed to the dining table where her family had gathered. Reva hesitated a little, she saw the cold and silent atmosphere that dominated this morning. But there was no other choice, he had to improve this atmosphere, starting from improving his feelings on a stable mood condition.
“Morning, mih , kak alea..” greet Reva with a warm smile. He chose as if he did not know anything about yesterday and from here he wanted to start fixing everything.
“Beauty.. let's have breakfast first.” said Nida who looks not too cheerful as usual.
Reva took a spot beside Nida. Alea was still downcast with the breakfast he was still trying to enjoy, while Indra tried to fall as if everything was fine.
“What do you want for breakfast, honey? Mamih cooked rice kok.” Tawar Nida which brings several breakfast menus closer to Reva.
“Gag pa-pa mih, I want to take it myself aja.” Reva said a little awkwardly.
Reva again glanced at Alea who was still down with breakfast and the phone he started playing. It turned out that acting as if nothing had happened was extremely difficult for Reva. Reva took a few loaves of bread, then filled them with scramble egg, vegetables, a little mayonnaise and sauce. Not forgetting the meat. He folded his bread and began to enjoy his breakfast.
“Can I make 1 for papi nak?” said Indra who seemed tempted by the way Reva enjoyed his breakfast.
“Emm. Same with lea want?” Reva with a sumeringah.
“Gag order.” Alea answered briefly.
“Mamih wants 1 dear..” Nida as if trying to melt the atmosphere. He knew Alea's answer began to ignite the discomfort of breakfast this morning.
Reva. He began to prepare his food and offer one by one the bread he used to make. Indra and Nida seemed to be enjoying the meal.
“This is delicious dear...” praise Indra with full seriousness.
“Iya mamih also likes..” Nida seems to agree with the word Indra.
Reva just smiled. He could see a lazy expression on Alea's face. Maybe he was annoyed to hear every compliment given by Indra and Nida on Reva.
Alea immediately gulped down her drink. “ I first..” he said while taking a handbag and blazer on the back of his chair.
“Bentar sis, we together yaaaa.” said Reva who immediately spent the rest of the bread and drank quickly. He did not want to miss his chance with Alea.
“Honey, slowly.. Later you can choke..” said Nida while rubbing Reva's back.
Reva was smiling. He swallowed his food round. “Pih, mih, I first yaa..” Reva rushed after the brother who had arrived at the door. He even wears his shoes while running.
Nida glanced at Indra who was looking at her daughter with an unfathomable expression. He had to talk about the problem yesterday, but Indra always avoided even last night he chose to sleep in his reading room. He never thought it would all be like this.

“Kak we gag pick up edho first?” Reva tried to melt the silent atmosphere between them.
“Gag need...” cetus Alea who seems not to want to talk longer.
Reva bit her own lips, her fingers twisted each other and occasionally she glanced at Alea who seemed to focus on controlling her steering wheel. Reva kept thinking about what could melt the atmosphere.
Until arriving at the Wijaya group office there were no more talks between them. Alea parked her car in an exclusive parking lot. Not usually this time he parked his own car.
Getting off the car, Alea walked quickly towards the elevator. Reva was trying to keep up with Alea's pace. As Alea glanced at him Reva tried to smile even though he was troubled by his steps. They took the elevator to the development division room.
The elevator kept going up. From the reflection of the elevator wall looks Alea who is engrossed with her phone. As Alea turned his head, Reva was stunned to see Alea's cold-looking gaze.
“Go back to work, I met you.” Alea said briefly.
“Where are you?”
Alea did not answer. As soon as the elevator door opened he rushed to leave Reva still confused.
Reva took a deep breath. To win the heart of his brother, he must be extra patient. Though he is not used to forcing himself to get close to someone whoever it is.

Reva's working desk has been stacked several files sent by Alea. Alea asked Reva to review all the development plans of the architects assigned to design them all.
Nyali Reva shriveled, where he could comment on the image of the architect who is millions of times better than the picture of his Kindergarten son. But it feels like he can't resist, for whatever sake he will work hard with this project.
Reva began matching each image with the description of the building. There were some that he signed to confirm because he thought it did not match what he wanted. Several times Reva seemed to wrinkle his forehead when some patterns he could not understand yet.
Reva was completely immersed in her work. Several times Raka called him and sent him a message, none of which he answered. Lunch time he just missed. It felt like no one cared about the almost insane feeling Reva felt.
Late in the afternoon, Alea's assistant approached Reva in her room. He asked Alea to see the results of Reva's work.
“This mba, I've finished.” Said Reva with a messy appearance.
The pink lipstick that refreshed her face this morning has now been erased. His hair was tied carelessly making the woman named Ira smile amusedly.
Ira saw a little of Reva's work. There was a faint smile on Ira's lips with a look like a condescension to Reva.
“Why, something wrong?” Reva questions the work Ira is seeing.
“Em is not mba.. Just mba Alea usually make a better review than this.” The words of Ira who blatantly compared Reva and Alea.
Reva smiled bitterly. When compared to Alea, of course the work is very different. Alea graduates abroad with a job that he has long been in while who he is.
Reva took a deep breath, she did not want to be provoked by Alea's assistant speech. He just wanted to finish his work immediately and fill his rumbling stomach.
“I ask you to hand over my work first. The disadvantages I will explain directly.” Said Reva who tried to keep smiling and got a parting nod from Ira.
After Ira passed, Reva rested her body on the chair. His body feels stiff with a neck that feels will soon break.
“Gosh, I gag able..” grumbled Reva who realized his incompetence.

In Raka's room, he kept pacing back and forth. Some of the staff who made trivial mistakes got a strong reprimand from Raka. His mind was really erratic because from then on Reva could not be contacted. Even the meeting that ran fiercely he just left and asked all his subordinates to improve their work and submit to him tomorrow morning.
“Lo why the hell? From earlier angry mulu.” Fery thrust a bottle of cold drink to calm Raka who was in a state of anxiety.
Raka immediately received the bottle and gulped the contents down to almost the toilet.
“Reva where the hell from earlier gag can be contacted?”
Raka focused on the smartphone in her hand. He tried to contact Reva. Now Fery understands what makes his boss angry. He just shook his head and sat down next to Raka.
“Iya mas..” replied Reva weakly.
“Darling, you why? How does his voice lemes? You sick? Want me to pick you up?” raka's question caught Fery's attention.
“Ya geez mas.. you are very much nanyanyaa…. I got dizzy gini..” Reva tucked his face on the table, his strength completely exhausted.
“Ya out of earlier you gag can be connected,,,” Raka began to be able to control himself.
“So I worked a lot bangett. It's also just finished.”
“You've eaten?” Raka could understand the busyness that Reva was facing right now.
“Lagi ngu di anter.. most briefly dateng..”.
“Jeez, did you just eat? What time is re?”
“Gag pa-pa, I can still nahan kok..” whine Reva with spoiled. Making the corner of Raka's heart crisp. Between anxious and funny hearing Reva whining.
“Yes, I'll pick you up later.. I miss you..”.
“Jangaann.. I have an appointment with Alea. We will video call later.”
This time Raka looked at Fery. It seemed that Fery's words were not proven that Alea was beating the drums of war with Reva.
“Yes already, you will tell me where to go. If you gag home, I'll go home. Love you..”
Raka ended her call happily. He looked at Fery who clucked up hearing the conversation of a pair of people who were in love.
Raka sighed with relief. After hearing Fery's story about Alea, Raka honestly felt out of his way. He was worried Alea was doing nothing to Reva. Raka knows Alea is ambitious and does not want to lose. But hearing that Reva is leaving with Alea, she hopes that this is the beginning of the relationship between the sisters
