Rio peeked out from the gap of Kena's room door. The younger brother whom he had officially considered the younger brother was sleeping on the bed. He held a pillow behind him. It's been over a week since he picked up Kena from Nael's apartment. Although it looks fine but Rio knows Kena still has not let go of her feelings. That sadness also affected Rio's feelings.
What can I do for you?
Rio returned to his own room. Looking at the guitar he had never touched since Junior High decorating the walls of his room. Rio's hand rubbed the guitar. Plastered his forehead into the body of the guitar hoping to get inspiration how to entertain Kena. When he was heartbroken, Kena helped him get excited with wise words. But Rio is not good at advising people related to romance issues. His own love story falls apart because of his lack of understanding of his own feelings. How he would advise others while he was the first jerk before Gero.
“Did I ask Gero here?” rio asked himself.
No! Rio immediately shook his head. Right now he and Gero are rivals! After all Rio wanted to do something that would be memorable for Kena. Something special for a special person in her heart. As a good brother, of course, you should treat your own sister as well as possible.
Ehem, as a sister!
Rio picked up his guitar, started to prepare a plan to entertain Kena. A guitar, a leptop with speakers, and a round throat.
“Hem, it looks like this can.” He said he was satisfied after weighing.
Rio stood for a moment in front of the door of Kena's room. Pray in your heart that this prepared plan can succeed. Her chest deg degan. Taking a few breaths to hold back his nervousness, Rio pressed his fingers against the strings of the guitar.
Ting...!
The sound of the guitar is plucked once a tone. Rio opened the door of the room of the younger brother he already considered the younger brother and walked in to him. Accompanied by the sound of acoustic music. The charming voice began to sing a romantic song. Rio in action!
“You say you are fine, but I see behind. Behind these eyes.”.
Looking back. Rio was strumming guitar strings while singing a song by Sia called hurt with me that was covered with a boy's voice. Kena's face could not hide her surprised and delighted expression. Is this guy entertaining her?
“You play a game, by the rigid rules. But you cheated yourself..”.
Kena continued to stare into Rio's sparkling eyes.
“There ain’t nothing you can say. Scare me away. I got history too. And it’s never too late
To share a secret today. I’ll reciprocate. Baby, I got you.
Rio kneeled on one leg in front of Kena. Showing the most charming smile that he never showed in front of other girls.
“So hurt with me. I’ll hurt with you. Baby, you know we can hurt together..”
Sitting in front of Rio. Still on the bed hugging both knees. His hands are folded over his knees, propping his right cheek. Kena's eyes focused on Rio's figure who suddenly became very handsome.
“I’ve been where you’ve been. I’ve seen what you’ve seen. So hurt with me. We can hurt together..”.
Rio was still continuing his action despite being swayed by Kena's sudden smile towards him.
“Come hurt with me. Come hurt with me. Come hurt with me. Come hurt with me...”.
Bewitched this very romantic atmosphere, Kena increasingly felt a desire that was strangely pleasant for her. In front of the brother who had officially considered him a sister, Kena wanted to be spoiled.
“Since when have you been automated?” sindir Kena's.
“Ehem, since today?” Rio Goda.
“I don't know if you have a good voice?”
Rio put his two shoulders together, “Now you know, your handsome brother has a lot of talent.”
“Pfft, what the hell.”
With more and more smiles, Rio also smiled. The two sister brothers looked at each other, until long ago there was a disturbance there. Music that is still playing with singers who still perform songs with full of passion.
The awkwardness that brought Kena to her senses.
“Haahahahahaha!”
Kena hid her face in embarrassment as she realized the most epic event that Rio was currently doing. A Rio!!!
“Lipsing?”

Rio stopped the string quote, “Ehem.”
“Are you seriously?” Ask Kena to make sure, “Hahahaha!”
The smile on Rio's face still lingered even though he was so embarrassed that a reddish pseudo appeared on both of his cheeks.
Among the millions of men on the face of the earth could be Rio is one of the most can not play guitar even sing. The guitar he has is just a display. Rio did have time to learn guitar when entering Junior High first because he thinks that men who can play guitar are cool. So he follows Gero to a music course only to discover that he is tone-blind. From then on he gave up on learning guitar and focused on school lessons.
Actually from the beginning, he just pretended to sing by moving his lips according to the lyrics of the song. Also pretend to pluck guitar strings to make it look more real. He felt really cool when he was acting. Now the shame is beginning to get into his heart.
If Gero sees this scene, surely the playboy guy will undermine Rio with sadistic taunts until high school graduation. Although Gero actually already knew that Rio was tone blind. But still do not let this disgrace be known to others!
Can only get to one.
“You are indeed very talented huh, my handsome brother!” kena said, her laughter still resounding. “Hahahahaha!”
“It's nice that you can laugh,” Rio said unknowingly. “I'm sad if you're sad.”
Kena stopped her laughter hearing Rio's words just now. For a moment both of them were silent, only the sound of music from the speakers in Rio's room was still not turned off. I know Rio meant well. An older brother's concern for his sister who broke up. However, there is a tickling taste in the heart of Kena who wants to jump out immediately without being able to control it.
“You no longer shoot me, right?”
Rio was stunned hearing Kena's question. He just needs to answer no as an answer to that question. But his lips would not move. His voice stuck in the esophagus, refusing to come out.
Kena and Rio looked at each other.
The question was thrown by Kena just as a joke, but after seeing Rio's reaction that was silent, Kena immediately realized the stupid thing she had just done. Can he pull that question back?
“Kak? Don't tell me brother Rio still has a crush on me?” continue to neutralize the situation, “Pftt..hahaha. Kan kak Rio has a crush on her sister Valeia,”
Rio soon realized from his delusion, “Ah, yes. I thought you were still having a crush on me.” The temptation of Rio.
“.........................” this time it was Kena who was silent.
Realizing her stupidity Rio instantly misbehaved. Stupid he dug his own grave.
“Hahah, you already belong to people, where dare I snatch you.” Said Rio as calmly as possible. Even if the person who has Kena has gone somewhere, leave the girl alone here.
There was a sense of displeasure as she herself said that, Rio's heart was congested. A strange feeling tickled his stomach. Rio did not want to know what kind of feeling it was. He was afraid that it was something he knew.
Rio gently rubbed Kena's head, “So I want you to feel as good as when you cheered me first. You can tell me anything. I'm your most handsome brother in the world,”
“Still brother,” says Kena while smiling.
It's good if they both get used to calling with the designation ‘kakak’ and ‘adik’ from now on. It's a bit strange to call Rio ‘kakak’ but if not so Kena will forget that this handsome guy in front of her is her own brother. When you forget, Kena will attack Rio again like before.
Ah, Kena remembered Rio's soft lips.
“Come down for lunch. We have to save as much energy as possible to face the test next Monday.” Rio said reminded.
Rio stood up from his position that had been kneeling. His legs cramp from holding the guitar for long enough. Rio leaned his guitar against the small table on the side of Kena's bed. He then extended his right hand towards his brother.
“Ayo...” invite Rio.
“Yah?”
He blinked his eyes a few times. What familiar word he had just heard was uttered by the older brother. His memory was looking for the word because his premonition said that it was something important, very important.
“Ah, Exam. EXAM!!” yelled Kena got up from the bed. “OLYMPICS!!”
“Iya semester exam,” says Rio clarify.
Next Monday is the first semester exam. The national Olympic High School level in Indonesia. Kena has completely forgotten the very important thing she has prepared since last month. His brain is too busy taking care of love. It took a lot of time just to make sure he felt for others who were now back in England leaving him.
“Sialan.” Rutuk Kena to herself.
