"The virus!" greeting Fariz, Vira immediately turned her head. After hearing someone call him.

Vira looked towards the wall clock. Seen clock still shows at 05.00 WIB. It's still very early morning. The dawn had not yet revealed its face. The fog still clearly blocked the view. The cold felt piercing into the bones. The morning dust is still stuck in the grass. Not yet moved away, indicating the rays of the dawn did not feel warm.

Right after dawn prayers, Vira pedals her old mini bike. He rushed to the house of the Atmaja family. Vira broke through the darkness of the morning and the cold of the fog. With all her might, Vira pedaled the bike. He should arrive at the residence of the Atmaja family soon. His mother asked Vira to temporarily take his job. The health condition of Vira's mother continues to decline. Therefore, Vira who now replaces her mother's job. Of course, everything was done before he left for college.

Vira set off early in the morning. Not that he wanted to hide from the neighbors around. But Vira does not want to meet with Azzam or Fariz. Vira believes the two heirs of the Atmaja family are still asleep. Even without Vira knowing. They both wake up on time.

Like this time, when Vira was in the laundry. Fariz came to Vira. Fariz wants to say hello to Vira, though Vira refuses to answer. Fariz begins to learn to understand the meaning of his love for Vira. Vira's refusal began to be accepted Fariz. Because now he understands the reason for Vira's firm attitude away from the word love.

"Fariz, you're awake!" vira said in shock, while holding her chest that was beating violently. Fariz nodded slowly, he agreed with Vira's words.

Fariz saw Vira coming. Using a mini bike given by Vira's late father. Fariz was on the balcony of his room. Vira may not be able to look up, but Fariz can easily see down. As soon as Vira got inside. Fariz immediately collected all his dirty clothes. Only in this way could he approach Vira who was washing and ironing her clothes.

"Sorry, I just wanted to give you dirty clothes. I thought it was Siti's bik washing. So I got off to give you my dirty shirt. I can't bear to have him go up and down the stairs!" cerocos Fariz, Vira nodded and took Fariz's dirty clothes.

Vira took all of Fariz's dirty clothes without any awkwardness. As if Vira forgot who Fariz was? Vira considers the main job and forgets the problems that exist between him and Fariz. Instead Fariz was silent for a moment. He saw Vira's very ordinary attitude. There was no shame or awkwardness that Vira showed. Long Fariz stared at the workings of Vira.

Fariz saw that Vira's hands were sorting out the clothes Fariz had given her. There was clearly no sense of awkwardness or disgust. When Vira has to touch Fariz's underwear. Very responsible attitude. Tuck the guilt. Fariz just wants to see Vira, even now he makes Vira have to work hard

"Sorry Vira, I made you do a lot of work!" fariz said softly, Vira shook her head while smiling.

Vira doesn't mind doing this job. Instead Vira thanked Fariz. Because he didn't have to bother coming to Fariz's room to pick up dirty clothes. Anyway, if it wasn't Vira who did it today. Of course his mother would wash and iron all Fariz's clothes and all Atmaja family members.

Vira has never been ashamed of this work. There was even a sense of pride in Vira's heart. Because of the sweat wash clothes this. He and his sister continued to live and could attend school. Never did Vira think of being a low-job washer. As long as the work is done wholeheartedly and sincerely.

"I'm glad you brought him here. So I don't have to knock on your door. Just to get dirty clothes. While you're still standing here. All of you bring clothes that I iron!" vira said lirih, while putting on a knotty smile.

Fariz immediately stroked his chest slowly. Why is Fariz' heart beating so hard? When he saw Vira's smile growing. As long as he knew Vira, only this morning did he receive such a real warmth. Vira always smiled at him. If Fariz could choose. He was more sincere in burying his love as deeply as possible. As long as he can stay close and see Vira's smile on him. The simple dream Fariz had. As a form of simple love to Vira.

"You rule me!" goda Fariz while putting on a smile. Vira nodded without hesitation, then Vira let out a laugh.

Without both of them knowing, the distance that ever existed. It suddenly melts. Vira and Fariz fused the distance as if to keep them away. Vira began to feel comfortable near Fariz. When Fariz began to realize, it was not love that became the priority of Vira at this time. Instead of being a backbone that can ease the burden of the mother.

"Have not said much, take your clothes. I have to continue my work. If I keep talking to you. I'm gonna be late for college!" vira said politely, Fariz nodded in understanding.

Fariz took out her clothes that Vira had ironed out. Fariz didn't mind doing a job he never imagined. As long as Vira can be close and consider him a friend. Not the young master of the Atmaja family. It's like Vira's manners all along.

"Wait!" vira said loudly, Fariz stopped his steps. Then looking towards Vira, Fariz raised his fist towards Vira. Fariz was quietly waiting for Vira to speak. A little while Fariz waited, Fariz felt that Vira was hesitant to say it.

"The room of Mr. Azzam!" vira said hesitantly, her hands squeezing each other. Fariz saw clearly the fear, as well as the doubt of Vira.

Fariz realizes that the relationship between Vira and Azzam is different. The status of the Atmaja family will not be easily passed by Vira and Azzam. The two will keep moving away from each other. So Vira hesitates to ask, where is Azzam's room? There is a fear of Vira to meet with Azzam

"On the second floor there are only two rooms. To the left of my room and to the right of Azzam's. Go up and get your own dirty clothes. I never went into his room. So don't ask me to go in there!" fariz said softly, Vira looked down weakly.

Vira and Fariz walked to the second floor. Fariz pointed to a room right in front of his room. Vira nodded slowly understanding Fariz's intentions. Without looking again, Fariz went straight into his room. Fariz doesn't seem to care about meeting Vira and Azzam.

Braaakkkkk

"Asthgfirrullah!" vira said softly, while stroking his chest slowly. Vira is shocked to hear the sound of Fariz's bedroom door. Clearly Fariz closed it very hard, as if Fariz was angry. Vira walked slowly towards Azzam's room.

Vira was standing right in front of Azzam's room. His hand was about to knock, but it was as if it was stuck in the air. Vira was silent, why did his body freeze? Vira was unable to knock on the door of Azzam's room. Fariz looked at Vira's back, which was pecking in front of Azzam's room. Fariz accidentally reopened the door to her room. He felt that Vira was afraid to knock on the door of Azzam's room.

"I'm sorry Vira, I can't help you. Maybe Azzam was my brother, but for a dozen years there was no closeness between us. How could I help you? The room you were knocking on the door. Never once did I get into it. Vira forgive me!" inner Fariz, then went into his room again. He tried to close his ears so he wouldn't hear anything.

Kreeeeekk

Seen the door of the room opened, Vira immediately took a few steps back. Azzam opened the door to his room. Actually he had already noticed Vira's arrival. Azzam deliberately installed CCTV cameras in his room. Azzam never let anyone into his room. Even though it was Melda her own mother.

"Come in, my dirty clothes are in the bathroom!" said Azzam briefly, while leaning on the door leaf. Vira nodded slowly.

Vira walked slowly into Azzam's room. Just as he was passing through Azzam, Vira smelled Azzam's soothing body scent. Azzam's maturity emanated markedly from his scent.

"The room is so big and neat, how could anyone be as busy as Mr. Azzam? Make your own bed. What an unusual thing. Nadya must be happy living with Mr. Azzam!" batin Vira while circulating throughout Kamr Azzam.

"If you're done, get out. I need to get ready!" azzam said coldly.

"Okay, Mr. Azzam!" sahut Vira lirih, looking down. Then get out of Azzam's room.

"Wait!"

"Yes Mr. Azzam, there is something I can help you with!" sahut Vira friendly.

"Some, don't ever call me Mr. Azzam. I'm not your master!" azzam Ketus said, Vira was silent.

"I'm sorry, I can't!" sahut Vira then moved away from Azzam.
