Niya cursed annoyed at still hearing the sighing and moaning from Khay even though they did not do what Niya thought. He felt he could no longer be in the house any longer.
Niya grabbed her little sling bag then walked out of her room. While walking out, Niya met with Rich who was about to enter his room.
"Hey, where are you going?" tanya Rich blocked Niya's arm.
"It's none of your business!" answer Niya ketus.
"It's already night. Where are you going?" Rich repeated the question.
"I told you it's none of sister's business!" Niya raised her voice. He left Rich, who was still dying.
Rich walked back to his room. He heard a crisp laugh from inside Rakha's room. He smiled while shaking his head.
"So that's why you left the house." muttered Rich.
Rich went to his room and sat down on the edge of the bed. He opened the nightstand drawer and picked up an envelope that was still tightly sealed. He just stared at the envelope with a huff.
It had been a year that the envelope was not opened. The fear of painful reality makes him clueless to open up.
Rich rubbed his face.
"If my premonition is correct, the possibility that Khania will be hurt again is very large." Rich's mind.
"But this time, I won't let Khania get hurt again. I won't!"
With hesitation, Rich looked back at the paper in his hand. "Is it time for me to know the truth?"

In the morning, Khay arranged breakfast at the dinner table. One by one family members came down from the top floor. Khay greets the friendly Liana and Rich who go down together.
Khay did not see Niya. He wanted to ask but Liana asked first.
"Where's Niya, Rich? Did you see your sister?"
"So night he left, Mom. Maybe he's in the shop. Isn't that his habit." Rich replied casually by chewing his food.
Khay only paid attention to the conversation between family members.
"Is he mad at you Rakha?" ask Liana. "What did he ask for yesterday?"
"Hmm, he wants to go on vacation. To Europe. I said I'd take care of it."
Khay notices Rakha and the others who seem unsuspecting. Khay can guess if the girl is jealous because of Rakha's game with her last night.
Khay decides to talk to Liana. But he first entered Liana's room. He wanted to scan Liana's room whether there was a wiretap or not.
Khay breathes a sigh of relief. Because it turns out there's no wiretap in Liana's room.
"That means only in Rakha's room being tapped." Khay muttered with his trademark grin.
Khay chatted with Liana for a moment about Niya. Khay reveals that Niya doesn't like him. But unexpectedly, Liana defended him.
"He's a very spoiled kid, but he's nice. Don't you feel burdened by her." Liana. Khay nodded in understanding. He came out of Liana's room.
Khay decided to explore the big house. He's headed for the garden on the back porch.
"Khaniah..."
A voice made Khay look up.
"Rich?"
"Do you like living here?"
"Hmm, yeah that's it."
"Khaniah..."
"Yes?"
"You want to come with me to the studio?"
"Eh? The studio?"
"Yes. Than you're tired of staying home. Come along!"
.
.
Khay and Rich arrive at Rich's studio. The place that is not too broad it turns out to save many works of Rich in the form of paintings.
Khay was stunned to see Rich's works.
"So you painted all this?"
"Yes that's it." Rich replied awkwardly.
"It's amazing, Rich. Does Rakha know that you have this amazing talent?"
"No. Rakha doesn't know. No one knows about this. You were the first to visit here. Being here is so much fun for me."
"Why didn't you tell Rakha? I'm sure he'll support you."
Rich smiled bitterly. "You think so? How long have you known my brother, huh?"
"Eh?"
"My brother is not that kind of person. He wants me to get into the company. But I always refuse."
"I'll talk to Rakha."
"No, thank you, Khania. You're so good."
Khay smiled sincerely. "If you don't try how would you know? Believe me!"
Khay returned to her smile.
"Thank you, Khania. From now on, I'll take care of you."
"Eh?"
That smile ... What happened to the smile on his face?
"Yes, Rich. Thank you." Thank you."

At night, the,
Niya clucked resentfully as Rich asked her to meet.
"Why did you invite me here? What is this place?" niya murmur.
"This is my studio. You just found out?"
"I don't care. Hurry up tell me what business did you invite me to?"
"Miss... We've been living together all this time. I'm just asking you not to disturb Rakha's life anymore."
"What does it mean to talk like that?!" Niya started to get emotional.
"So don't know, you have more feelings for Rakha. But now, Rakha's sister is married. So, don't bother him about anything else to hurt Khania."
Niya clenched her hands. "Sister!"
"I've asked you many times to forget how you felt about Rakha. If you still can't forget how you feel, then I... "
"What?! What are you gonna do?!"
Rich gave Niya a piece of paper.
"Well?!" Niya rounded her eyes.
"You!!!" Niya stared intently at Rich.
