Angkasa Raya High School PUPILS scattered out of the classroom after the marked bell came home sounding deafening. Everyone felt relieved after today's lesson officially ended.

"My ris can minjem your notes?" Aurel turned her head, focusing on the man next to her. From the beginning Aurel was only confused, he ignored the teacher who was explaining the material, "Lo nyatet right?"

Haris nodded after that to his astonishment, "Write it anyway, just understand!"

"Maclums? Meanin?"

Haris proffered his notebook, "So my writing is disheveled, if the word nyokap I mah kayak chicken claw."

Aurel smiled comforted by the joke presented by Haris. "Thanks yes. That's when I go back first," Aurel put his backpack on his back, the girl continued to leave class.

Aurel only focused on his goal of taking a step in the middle of the crowded corridor. Aurel hardly cared about the boisterous sounds of some of her peers chattering to each other. Last morning after sports hours Leana was allowed to go home early because there was family business. It is unfortunate that Aurel's image will look sad when Leana is not on his side.

"Sister, Aurel," in the middle of the crowded corridor, Aurel clearly found someone calling out his name.

Aurel made a slight twisting movement of the heel changing the direction of his body looking for the owner of the sweet-pitched voice that was calling his name.

Not far from where he stood, a girl began to wave her hand revealing his whereabouts. A girl in two with a purple backpack was getting closer. With the accompaniment of a friendly smile, the girl he believed to be a middle-level sister showed good manners towards Aurel who was his senior.

"Why, deck?" Aurel gave a sweet smile.

The girl in front of Aurel began to reach into the backpack that had been stuck on his back. Flat thing he took from inside there.

"So I found a cell phone on the basketball court, it seemed to have a sister," when the sentence came off, at the same time the hand holding the phone stretched forward. The girl had just given the phone to Aurel's hand.

Aurel frowned at the cellphone that was now in his grasp. Two letters are pictured on the back of the phone, DW. I don't know why Aurel is familiar with it.

Oh yeah, Aurel just remembered. The phone belongs to Danial. Often he found Danial clutching the phone.

"Thank you," Aurel put Danial's cell phone in his pocket.

"Together, Brother."

Instead of going straight to the gate, Aurel chose to turn towards the parking lot. The goal is to check if Danial is still there or not. If it is still there, then Aurel will immediately give his cellphone without having to bother coming to the man's house.

After all Aurel still felt bad to come to his house after conveying his desire to act like a stranger.

There was a question in his head that forced Aurel to stop the footsteps right then and there. In the past minute, more precisely when meeting with the inventor of the mobile phone Aurel found an awkwardness.

Why was his junior so sure that the phone belonged to Aurel? Even the initials written on the back of the phone had nothing to do with Aurel's name.

Aurel started biting his nails, it became his habit every time he was thinking critically. His curiosity led him to check the contents of the phone in his grasp.

"Kok.." Aurel's words paused because a smile had just been shown by him. When his fingers pressed the key button, at that time also the screen of the phone that was dark showed a photo of Aurel. Aurel threw away his face, a sense of misbehavior presenting red spots looking at pictures of himself on the phone screen.

The simple definition of happiness felt by the girl. Just because seeing his picture made the main screen makes him happy not to be bored. Aurel recalls very well that that night he had Danial remove it, but secretly the man kept it while making it the main screen.

Aurel's steps continued until he could finally see Danial who was in a hurry to put a helmet wrapped around his head.

"Daniel!"

Aurel's screeches make the man on the motor tickle a sign of scatter. He even took pains to avoid it but the girl still approached him.

"Inconstant" Danial sneer saw the girl at the other end start running towards him.

Danial was forced to open his helmet and keep it in the rearview mirror, the sound of an annoyance was heard, accompanying the dislike on his face. "Gue didn't have much time," Danial had just raised his hand to form his right, glancing at the fancy clock that was coiled around his wrist. "If no one wants to talk you better get out of front of me!"

Not a word escaped from her lips, Aurel merely reached out with his hand revealing his hand which was holding the phone.

"Thank you."

Aurel nodded, "Gue wants all of you, why are you taking my picture..."

"Because I like you!" keep Danial in touch before Aurel finishes what he has to say.

Aurel put on a surprised look.

"Why? Shocked? You don't deserve to look surprised like that, besides I've talked like this before. Except for when you're having amnesia." Danial closed his sharp sentence by pulling his lips to the side revealing an understated smile. "Oh yeah sorry, I'm late erasing your photos from my phone."

Aurel was silent again. There was no sign of movement at the corner of his lips.

Danial threw away his face, "Quietly, I've been trying to forget my feelings are the same! I also don't forget your desire to act like a stranger."

It arose in his mind to confess his feelings to the man. Telling the reason behind him giving a rejection at that time, but Aurel was unable to fight the fear that attacked him. The fear that mingled with guilt made both sides of his lips clenched. Aurel regretted that he did not have the courage to tell the truth.

"About events on the basketball court do not have to be a burden. Think of me as a stranger who happens to pass by when you are almost doomed. Don't think of me as Danial aka someone who likes you."

Aurel swallowed the bitter taste lodged in her throat. His heart was being slashed at least after hearing Danial's words.It was too painful to accept this reality.

Lo strong Rail! Aurel vented her feelings of dread by squeezing the straps of her backpack.

"If you're done, better step aside! I want to go through it." Danial gave a sentence as sharp as a spear, making Aurel move slowly giving access to Danial to go with his motor.

It hurts so much to hear that kind of sentence regardless of the person we love. Life isn't as easy as one might think, and Aurel knows it. Aurel wanted to stem, but the tears broke when he saw Danial getting away from him.

...●●●●●...

DAVINA covered her lower lip. Big question marks hit him. Danial was sitting on an iron swing facing the pool. It seems that the man's mood is not good.

"Sir" Davina said in the silence, "Sorry, Vina has no intention of ngagetin" he said, noting that his sister had raised her shoulders in shock.

"Not slept? It's late, tomorrow's school." Danial reminded.

"So, why haven't you slept yet?" Davina returned with a question. The girl with the pajamas was giving a probing full look.

"Many thoughts."

"Think of Brother Aurel?"

Visible movement of the head Danial, up-and-down. "Sister rejected," explained Danial.

"Snake brother?"

"Not the big brother, the bright Aurel. Brother tried but Aurel won't see brother's struggle." Danial just doesn't want to be blamed. In this case he tried as much as possible.

Suddenly Davina remembered the story of her mother who happened decades ago, "Son't want the story of the same mother who was betrothed."

Danial nodded steadily, letting his eyes stare at the pool.

"Don't you know that papa and mama didn't like each other at first?" Davina asked, "But why are they happy now?"

"Because papa fought open her heart to mama," replied Danial.

"Well, you should have followed that too!"

Danial makes a sound of whispering. "Why fight alone? People who like you will not fall. Quite the opposite, Aurel wanted her brother to act like a stranger." Danial has no spirit. Her confidence had disappeared since Aurel asked her to act as if she did not know each other.
