Bianca, who had just set foot on the first floor of Alan's house, suddenly frowned when she saw a female servant about forty years old standing not far from her. Usually, when going to school, breakfast is served first on the dining table. And after that, he didn't see anything. Except for the workers who always clean the yard or garden of Alan's house.
“Mature mrs.” Bianca smiled clumsily when she heard the middle-aged woman's call to her. With a slow motion, he sat himself in a chair.
“Where's Alan?” Bianca asked as she circulated her gaze to all corners of the room that she could reach. But no, he did not find the whereabouts of the man. Every time he woke up to go to school, he was by his side.
“Tuan—”
“Today sir is having an important meeting.” Jimmy who just came in immediately cut off Sofie—'s greeting. With a slow nod, Jimmy immediately gestured for Sofie to step closer to Bianca.
“Which young lady wants breakfast what?” Sofie asked again in a polite tone. The obvious thing is that Bianca feels uncomfortable. Especially considering her younger self.
“Please make me a glass of warm chocolate milk and a slice of cheese toast.” Bianca said to Sofie with a warm smile.
“Jimmy, what do you want for breakfast?” Bianca asked as she looked at Jimmy who was standing next to her. The blue-eyed man's face showed a startled reaction.
“No, Miss. I can have breakfast nan—”
“Oh, come. I don't want breakfast alone.” Bianca deliberately looked at Jimmy with a sad face. Hoping, the man's heart melted when he saw it. And sure enough, Jimmy nodded his head—even though it felt a little reluctant.
“Sofie, please make it for Jimmy too.” Bianca was happy.
“Good, Mistress.” Sofie replies and immediately steps into the kitchen to make breakfast.
After Sofie's death, Bianca suddenly stared fixedly at Jimmy who sat opposite her. This morning, Jimmy was wearing a black shirt whose arms he rolled up to his elbows. Also the same colored cloth pants. Even though the day is usually the man often wears a suit all black, but Bianca feels if today there is something strange. Unfortunately, he doesn't know what.
“Did Alan often leave so early?” Bianca asked to break the silence between the two of them.
“Ya.” Jimmy answered briefly. And Bianca felt a little used to it.
“Every day?” Bianca asked again and hoped that Jimmy would give her a slightly satisfactory answer.
“No.” Jimmy answered briefly.
Bianca surrender. Whatever question he asked Jimmy, the man would still answer briefly as usual. Though he just wanted to know the reason Alan left for work on a very early morning day. Although Bianca didn't know exactly what time the man left the house. But one thing was for sure, when he woke up briefly at six, the man was gone.
“Thank you, Sofie.” Bianca said she was happy when Sofie had just laid breakfast in front of her and Jimmy. In silence, the two of them ate together. And Bianca felt a little weird— was more precisely uninspired when Alan wasn't with them at the moment.

Bianca who had just arrived at the school was startled by the arrival of students from another school. Also some cars that he had never seen were parked in his school yard. Immediately, he ran towards his class and when he got there, he only found Lily sitting back and reading a mystery novel.
“Lily!” Lily, who was focusing on reading, gasped in shock when she heard Bianca's voice. The novel he held was released from his hand.
“You surprised me.” Said Lily while sighing in relief.
“Lily, is our school celebrating something?” Bianca asked as she sat herself down next to Lily.
“Our school does basketball combined exercise with Winter High School.” Bianca just nodded in understanding while making her lips form the letter “o” without sound.
“Means we can go home early?”
“All students are required to come watch.” Bianca bent her face after hearing Lily's words. He wished he could go home sooner and continue his sleep. Plus, Bianca is also lazy to meet with Rico.
“Ayo.” Lily immediately pulled Bianca's hand to follow her to the basketball court. He had deliberately not left early to wait for Bianca. Lily could have sent a short message to her best friend. But unfortunately, she is the type of girl who is lazy to hold gadget— except at certain times. And also, he can continue reading the novel while waiting for the arrival of his best friend.

The basketball court is usually not too crowded, suddenly boisterous with various kinds of cheers. At his school, the basketball team does have two field—one court located outside and another indoor court. Which is only used when there is a match or joint training as it is today.
Amidst the crowd, Bianca could clearly see Rico who was waving excitedly at her. Which also made dozens of pairs of eyes follow her. With a heavy heart, Bianca returned Rico's hand. Let's just say he was encouraging the man.
***
Thirty more minutes have passed since the game began. And to be honest, Bianca was already feeling very bored. If you can choose, studying in class as usual is much better than having to watch a group of men who are fighting over an orange ball. Strangely enough, it made the group of girls around him cheered indistinctly.
In the middle of the field, Rico and his teammates were busy passing the ball to each other. Sometimes, the man mendribble the ball using the technique between the legs— move the ball from one hand to the other hand through the between the legs with a quick movement. And, yeah, my Bianca if Rico's good enough. At least, currently their school basketball team was far two points ahead of the opposing team.
Bianca sculpting. His face suddenly turned strange. Especially when all pairs of eyes are now staring at him questioningly.
Oh my God, Rico!
“This is special for you.” Rico spoke again in a loud voice, With a quick movement, he ran through the opponent's guard. Occasionally, he makes a movement that outwits opponents— like wanting to pass the ball to his teammate. But when the opponent who confronted him turned his attention, he quickly stepped into the ring.
After standing three steps in front of the ring, Rico did not immediately enter the ball. He first held the basketball using both hands and mendribble it once while stepping. Then again catch him using both hands and in the third step, he shoots the ball while doing kite. Also known as Lay Up Shoot.
Logging in!
Rico managed to score with satisfactory action.
Instantly, all the students from his school immediately got up from his seat and gave a standing applause. Which Bianca thinks is too much, considering this is just a combined exercise. And even worse, he received congratulations along with Rico who managed to put the ball into the opponent's ring.
“Bianca!” Rico called Bianca again, running to the girl he liked. His breath is still puffing. The occasional sweat dripped from his face.
“Good job, Rico.” Bianca tried her best to speak in a friendly tone. Especially the surrounding conditions are still very crowded.
With a bright face, Rico answered Bianca's words with a smile while bowing in shame. As a result of being praised by the girl who became his heart.
“Rico, come here.” Call one of his colleagues.
“Bianca, I go first.” Bianca breathed a sigh of relief after Rico's departure. Right now, all he wanted was to get out of the room immediately.
“It looks like Rico really likes you.” Lily, who had been silent, finally opened her voice.
“But baby, I don't like it.” Reply Bianca flat while turning the eyeball—malas.
Without Bianca knowing, Rico who is currently still in the middle of the field, occasionally stole a glance at him while smiling knot. He admitted when he saw Bianca struggling spoiled on the arm of a man at that time—Jimmy, his heart did not accept. He even uttered a swear sentence aimed at Jimmy. But he still doesn't care. Whatever he would do for Bianca to fall into his hands. He wants Bianca. And having that girl was his greatest wish he had to achieve.

“Bye, Jimmy.” Bianca waved as Jimmy said goodbye to her after driving her home. Normally, Jimmy would come in to make sure he was safe. But this time, the man reasoned that there was a sudden affair.
Today, Bianca went home a little longer than usual. Supposedly, at three o'clock he had gone home and arrived home twenty minutes later. But this time, he just arrived home when the clock almost showed at six in the afternoon. And all because of the combined exercises that were done. The school still requires all students to participate in learning activities. Unfortunately, the time used to gather in the field, replaced with time to go home from school. Plus, hours of lessons are suddenly added.
Bianca who had just entered the house gasped in shock when she found the state of complete darkness. None of the headlights are on. There was only a small candle placed in the middle room.
Quickly, he stepped up to grab the light switch by using his phone as lighting.
“Alan!” Bianca screams in shock when the lights have just turned on and she finds Alan's body sitting at the dinner table. In front of him was presented two bottles of red wine and a glass whose contents had been toilet.
Slowly, Alan looked up when he heard Bianca's voice. Her jet-black iris stared at Bianca sharply. He gestured for the woman to walk over to him.
“You ... is it okay?” Bianca asked hesitantly when she saw Alan's current state. Just like Jimmy, the man was wearing a black shirt and cloth pants. And again, Alan looked at him with a gaze that you don't know, he also found it difficult to explain.
“Bianca.” Call Alan softly while hugging Bianca and drowning his face in the woman's belly.
Reflexes, both hands raised upwards to hug Alan back. Though curiosity was approaching, Bianca did not have the courage to ask. He had a hunch, when he asked later, the result would definitely not end well.
All of a sudden, Alan let go of his embrace to Bianca and then took another sip of his red wine straight from the bottle. Without Bianca guessing, Alan pulled his nape firmly enough to align their face—with Bianca still in a standing position.
Without waiting for long, Alan immediately reached Bianca's lips and forced the woman to drink the wine that was still in her mouth.
Alan changed his position to stand by still silencing Bianca's lips. Both of his hands hugged the woman's waist firmly and in one move, he managed to make Bianca's body sit on the dining table.
“Alan! You crazy?” Bianca unilaterally releases the link of their lips when they know Alan's intentions and goals. With a hunting breath, he looked at Alan in disbelief.
“Taketh no harm.” Alan said casually while grinning slightly.
Tonight, the bodies of the two of them re-united to feel the pleasure. And the sighs or cries of Bianca became the breaker of the silence of the night.
Which Bianca doesn't know—more precisely, Alan didn't tell her, if today is the anniversary of her grandfather's death. That's why he and Jimmy wear black.
