DANIAL brought his gaze towards the younger brother who had just made a scene. If Davina had accidentally dropped the motor key while walking in the living room, chances are Danial would not have realized so solemnly the man was in the game on the mobile phone.

Davina picked up the key of the motor she accidentally dropped. When he returned his position to stand up, the girl then found her brother was giving a full look at the search.

"Where are you going malem-malem?" Danial asked. Just now the owner of the thick eyebrows left the sofa and his cellphone in order to approach the sister.

The person who addressed the question was linking his hairdo to the top of the earlobe, "You go to the bookstore, Brother."

"You want Anterin's sister?" Danial offered himself.

"Davina can go alone."

Danial lowered his gaze, he saw the key of the motor in the grasp of the younger brother.

"The danger of riding a motorbike alone is steeped this way. If you don't mind mending brother who wants to use the car. Close the bookstore."

Davina pressed her shoulders, "Yes already, sister is ready!"

"Lo wait outside! Brother wants to go to the room first, want to take the same jacket wallet," said Danial as he passed to his room.

While her sister was rushing to the room, Davina took her footsteps towards the veranda. While waiting for her brother to fix Davina play a mobile phone check the list of books he will buy.

"Yeah!" Danial emerged from the main door. The man looks neat in a navy blue jeans suit, the upper part of his body is covered by a white t-shirt that he covers again with a denim jacket that matches the color of his shoes. The cool label is being attached to Danial at least for now.

...●●●●●...

compared to motorcycles, using a car is certainly a waste of time. If with a motor the travel time should be only fifteen minutes, then with the car the time needed is thirty minutes. If asked the reason, of course Jakarta city congestion as the answer.

"Lo go in first, brother wants car markir and nyari drink. Oh yeah, you want a drink of what flavor?"

Davina picked up a small purse with a wallet and a cell phone that she had previously placed on the dashboard. The girl seemed to be thinking.

"Davina wants a greentea, sister."

After delivering that, Davina immediately got out of the car letting her sister head for the parking lot.

As the door was pushed by him, the moment also the distinctive smell of books gushed into his nose. For a moment he felt very happy to plant his feet in this place. The bookstore is a paradise for a Davina. He even hopes that one day one of his novels will be displayed there.

Davina is going shelf by shelf looking for her classmate's recommended novel. Davina is not a typical reader who just likes one genre. In addition to romance, the girl also likes horror genre novels, mystery, humor, even science fiction which is notoriously heavy, being her reading.

"Davina!"

The one in question turned his face, "Eh, sister Aurel," when lowering his gaze Davina found three novels in Aurel's grasp, "Ngeborong nih, Sister" his god.

"You could say so."

"What novel did you buy?"

"At first want to find a horror-themed translation novel but right until it even smitten romance novel."

"It just so happens," Davina grabbed Aurel's arm, "Sister Aurel should help Davina find a novel!"

At Aurel's request, he helped find the novel. He chose several romance-type translation books, "This book is cool, Vin. Although the publication was two years ago but not less the same novels best seller today."

Davina moved her hand. He picked up the novel shown by Aurel in the previous second. While throbbing, the girl's eyes dimmed, "The title of the novel is like a stranger. If it's not wrong the title is exactly the same movie that Davina ever watched."

"It was filmed."

Davina widened her eyes, "Seriously Sis?"

"Hoh-oh."

"This novel is highly recommended to read!" Aurel put his thumb out and confirmed his love for the novel, "Indeed the novel is quite thick, but believe me the story is really interesting until you just want a piece of nyelesain."

"But to be honest, Kak, actually Davina is not satisfied with the film, her emotions are not enough."

"Maybe because of the short duration makes some interesting scenes in the novel version instead of entered into the film version."

"Udah finished?" Danial.

Davina and Aurel turned the heel to face Danial who had just come while carrying a crackle containing drinks. For a few moments Aurel and Danial stared at each other before finally the stare-to-gaze ended after Davina let out a dull sound.

"It's your drink!" Danial handed Greentea his sister's order. "If you're done picking the book better sneak into the cashier, keep going home!" Hearing Danial's words made Aurel assume excessively. He thought Danial was feeling sad when his eyes found Aurel's figure in the same place.

"Sister Aurel what's up here?" suddenly Davina asked.

"So..." Aurel paused what to say. Through the tail of his eyes he saw Danial who immediately threw away his face as the girl began chanting answers to questions asked by Davina, "I took an online taxi," he continued honestly.

"If so, go home with us alone," Davina replied naturally managed to make her brother stunned.

"No need Vin, I can take a taxi online anyway." Aurel just felt bad for Danial.

"Don't Kak, the danger of taking a taxi malem-malem. Mending's coming home with us!" Davina insisted on her will no matter how much Aurel gave a refusal. "Yes, right, brother?" Davina turned her head, looking up a little she noticed the flat look Danial showed.

Danial. He doesn't know what to answer. If you refuse to take Aurel, surely Davina will report it to her father and mother. Danial would not even be willing if his pocket money was cut just because of such a trivial problem.

...●●●●●...

"IF THE THREE OF US WERE IN THE DIEM-DIEMAN RACE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN US WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN THE WINNER," Davina brought her gaze towards the two people before her. Davina looked at him in turn.

Danial seemed reluctant to reply to his sister's scorn, while Aurel just smiled blandly instead of connecting Davina's words.

"Ngapain stopped by the restaurant all the time, can eat at home, only" Danial began to babble. Of course, it was addressed to the younger brother who insisted on stopping by the restaurant opposite the office of Wirawan, his father.

"Not be a pussy! Oh yes Davina wants to go straight to papa's office, Brother Danial went home alone with Aurel after dinner."

"Well, don't you want to eat together?" Danial gave a question sentence.

"Davina ate malem with papa aja," said Davina.

Danial's strong jaw dropped. Both of his shoulders also slumped hearing Davina's confession. Danial could not imagine the awkwardness that would occur when he and Aurel sat alone in the car later.

"I can go home by myself anyway" Aurel made a sound as Davina's movement left the chair caught by her eyes. Unbeknownst to Danial or Davina at that time Aurel was neutralizing his anxious feelings by playing his fingers.

Davina first grabbed the small bag lying on the table. He saw Aurel's face. "Father Brother, let Brother Danial go home!" davina's orders before he rushes off using an accelerated pace.

Fuck Davina! Danial in his mind. So far he has been able to read the plans made by his sister. Of course he wants his brother's relationship with Aurel to be better.

The moment of awkwardness created by Davina began to be felt along with the disappearance of the girl's back from the doorway.

"This is Mas, the message, this is Ma'am's message. Happy enjoying!" a waiter kindly placed his second order.

"Thank you" said Aurel. The girl smiled at the waiter while hiding her awward feelings towards Danial who started eating food opposite her.

After finishing eating and paying, Danial then took the car keys and mobile phone placed randomly on the table.

"And" call Aurel. The girl locked the man's wrist.

Danial did not dislike when Aurel locked his wrist, even though his feelings for the girl were still the same until this moment. Danial just did not want to be branded yet can move on after Aurel's orders that tell him to act like a stranger.

Make a sign that does not like to be heard. Danial's head moved down, staring at his wrist that Aurel had locked up. The man cleared his throat once, making Aurel release his cheque in a matter of seconds.

"You don't want anterin..."

"When did I say it was like that?" Connect the spicy Danial without forgetting to draw his typical paltry smile, "Gue nganterin lo because of the Davina who told. Don't worry about the fact that I once liked you, after all I've tried to eat you, really."

"Lo misunderstood, Dan. That's not what I mean!" aurel said he intended to defend himself. The girl was just worried about Danial who might feel bad driving her home. But Danial positioned her as if it was the girl who was unhappy with the fact that Danial would drive her home.

Danial flicked his hand, "Give me Rel, I don't even have any intention of arguing with you!"
