The Rituals

Siblings

After school, according to what they were talking about at recess.

They would all look at Cindy and buy some fresh fruit for her as souvenirs.

Mika, Sinta, Ardhan and Arina go to Mika's house using a car owned by Sinta's sister who that day picked her up to school, what an accidental coincidence.

"So, I'm just here as a driver?" Ask the man wearing a black suit who is currently driving the car.

Sinta, who was sitting next to her sister, laughed lightly and hugged her arm when the car stopped at a red light.

"But Cindy is sick again... When I didn't nengokin him?" Sinta gave an excuse so that the Big Brother would not be angry with her.

Even though he wasn't really angry, he just said that as a joke.

"Okay, Okay... I'll wait till you get home, what?" Ask Brother Sinta.

Now they are in the house where Cindy lives, just a few more turns the car reached its destination.

"May, but if Brother is necessary. Mending don't have to wait for me! I can go home with the others." Answer Sinta.

The car stopped right in front of Cindy's luxury house, the older brother who had been focusing on the road was finally able to see the face of the younger brother who was actually sitting next to him.

"Okay, you go home careful huh. I have a meeting in half an hour."

Sinta nodded in assuring the Brother. He could not force his brother to wait for him, whereas there was work his sister had to do.

"So be careful!" Sinta said, then she opened the car door and got out of it.

Mika, Arina and Ardhan also came down when the woman came down, they also did not forget to say thank you when they got off from the car owned by Sinta's sister.

"Bye Oke!" Said the man to his sister. Sinta smiled and nodded as she waved her hand as the car slowly left from before them.

Alvaro and Glen on the bike were there first.

Both parked their bikes at Alvaro's house, which is next to Cindy's house.

Mika, Sinta, Ardhan and Arina are silent in front of the fence of Cindy's house, waiting for Glen and Alvaro who are now walking towards them.

"Cindy's parents are there, Al?" Ask Sinta when she sees no signs of activity in Cindy's house.

Alvaro shook his head and opened the gate of Cindy's house, the answer was enough to make his five best friends surprised.

"He's sick, kept home alone?" Asked Ardhan who was not in thought.

Which parent will leave their sick child alone in the house? As far as they know, Cindy is an only child.

What do Cindy's parents think? That was the question that might have arisen in the head of one of the five shocked people.

"No, Dhan!" Alvaro. He went first into Cindy's yard, and was followed by his other best friend.

Alvaro then closed the gate of Cindy's house, before finally walking towards the mansion.

Alvaro's footsteps came to a halt when he was beside a large pine tree, then he turned to look at his friends.

"Here, Cindy screams! And I'm sure, the sound came from behind the tree." Alvaro.

Arina who was standing next to Glen also stared at the tree and was silent for a long time.

"Sir Alvaro!" The screams of a woman made them all stare at the balcony of Cindy's house.

A girl wearing a Junior High School uniform was seen folding both hands forward with a slap.

Alvaro smiled and waved his hand at the younger brother who turned out to be here.

Alvaro thought that the one guarding Cindy was his mother, but it turned out that the younger brother was accompanying Cindy.

The girl named Slavia smiled back at Mika and then glared at the Brother.

He went back inside the house to get down and opened the door for all of them.

"Kok you're here anyway, Dek?" Alvaro asked who entered Cindy's house as soon as the door was opened.

"Excuse me…"

"Excuse me!" Greetings Ardhan, Sinta, Mika, Glen and Atina as they enter the living room of the house.

"Sit down, brother!" Slavs allowed all the friends of his brother to sit in a sofa.

While he was still standing before Alvaro who was still waiting for an answer to the unanswered question.

"Mama's cooking at home, he said he wanted to cook porridge for Cindy. So I'm the one who was told to wait here!" The Slavs replied as if annoyed that he had been given the task of waiting for the sick.

"Nonsense?" Alvaro asked who saw the sister's annoyance. The woman who was only as tall as Alvaro's chest, even less than that, shook her head quickly and shook her hands.

"No! Just a bosen." His sergeant, then he walked towards the kitchen to bring him a drink that he would give to all of Alvaro's friends.

Alvaro simply smiled and raised both eyebrows at his companions sitting down, watching the two siblings talking.

"Just like guy's!" Alvaro asked his friends to wait a while, then he walked to the kitchen to approach the sister while asking quite loudly.

"Eh, where's Cindy?" Ask. The chatter of the two can still be heard in the ears of Ardhan, Sinta, Mika, Glen and Arina.

"Sleep!" Answer the ketus the younger brother who is also no less loud than the voice of Alvaro.

And******* disappointed from Alvaro can be heard by the five people. Making them look at each other, except Glen who was silent closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair and folded his hands forward.

Ardhan saw the unusual movements of the man, then he whispered to Sinta, to ask why Glen was like that.

"Ta! Why is Glen so rich? Is she sick again?" Ask Ardhan.

Sinta who was not so well could only shake her head, but unlike Ardhan who did not directly ask the person.

Sinta chose to directly ask Glen. "Len? You all right?" Ask Sinta.

Glen opened his eyes upon hearing the question, then he nodded his head.

While Mika and Arina glanced in unison to see the man with the title of the smartest student at the school.

"Just sleepy." Obviously Glen, when he saw that there was a look of doubt in all his friends about that answer.

Alvaro came up with a tray of glasses and syrupy water made by his sister, while Slavia came up with some cookies that he had already spilled on the plate for all of them.

"No need to bother, Al!" Ardhan said while directly taking the syrup glass, and drinking it like a person who was thirsty for a few days.

Slavia just smiled at Ardhan's behavior. Then he stood up to go back to the kitchen.

"This is Slavia, talk to us-we!" Ask Sinta to the girl.

Slavs who are quite close to Mika, Sunta, Arina and Cindy do not feel awkward when talking, even join Alvaro's friends.

"I want to see Cindy's sister first, sister." Rejecting Slavs, she had to wait for the sick Cindy because her mother had left her.

The Slavs will do their duty to the fullest, so that even though there are some more pleasant affairs of the duty, he will still not forsake the task.

"It's a coincidence, we want to look! Can the three of us come?" Ask Mika who stood up from her seat.

Slavia had a glance at Alvaro, signaling the question 'Is it okay?' to the Brother.

Alvaro nodded in agreement, so the Slavs nodded and allowed Mika, Sinta and Arina to join Cindy's room on the second floor.
