The study at Andre's house has just finished. It was already 8pm when Selena could finally relax on the sofa, she was so tired.

"Don't removable. Selena, you look graceful with this look." Maya said she pulled back Selena's hand that she had seen wanting to remove the hijab that Selena had been wearing for several hours.

Maya dressed Selena up earlier.

Selena was so ashamed of the clothes she was wearing. A shirt made of a very fine and soft cloth flowed on his body from neck to foot.

The pink hijab on her head is fitted by Maya with a flower-shaped brooch attached prettyly to her left shoulder.

As Selena looked at the new look in the mirror, she almost cried out of happiness.

He felt that what he saw in the mirror was not himself. The figure was like someone else he did not know. How could that beautiful and graceful face be Selena's seedy and dull self-reflection.

"You look so pretty Selena." Maya said that afternoon behind her.

Maya sits on the living room couch, accompanying Selena.

"It was night. Stay here tonight Selena, accompany Auntie ya." persuade Maya with a teasing tone. Selena almost laughed at Maya's behavior.

"Next time, Aunt. Selena just go home."

"Wait a minute." Suddenly Maya stood up, not long after that she carried the bushel that Selena had brought, and behind her Andre followed.

"Bring this to your mother. Just put the bushel there, tomorrow let Aunt take it." Maya hands Selena that heavy rantang.

"Andre, get Selena home."

"No need Tan... Selena can go home by herself. Selena's house is at the end of the road." Selena refused politely.

"Don't turn down Selena, it's already night, Aunt is just worried. Go."

Selena did not argue this time.

"Selena Tan's. Thank you so much, Selena's happy." Selena was honest.

"Kiss Auntie if Selena's really grateful." Maya brings her face closer, and she smiles in satisfaction as Selena lands a kiss on her right cheek.

Dina who saw the familiarity of Maya and Selena, looked irritated. The young girl glared as Selena looked at him.

The attitude of Andre's sister who hated him so much, Selena did not bother.

Selena said goodbye to Maya, then walked out with a bushel in her right hand.

When she reached the court, Selena saw Andre leaning against the gate.

With a casual look, plain black shirts, and knee-length pants made of cloth and patterned box that Andre wears. His usual cruel figure looked relaxed and easy to approach.

Andre only glanced at Selena.

Because Selena's house is close, they're on foot. Maya had suggested to bring a motorcycle, which Selena immediately refused.

Every time Selena comes to Andre's house and comes home at night. Andre will drive him. It started when Selena was close to Andre at the age of 8.

They did not speak at all and just walked with Andre in front leading the way, and Selena followed Andre's footsteps behind.

Selena can't help but remember how their relationship used to be.

At that time Selena was very scared and hated Andre who always made her cry.

Due to past events at the time Selena was 4 years old, she became the subject of ridicule by Andre if the man misbehaved to her.

**Night at the terraced house, a very young Maya figure patted Selena's puffed back.

The boy cried after being bullied by Andre, his eldest son, earlier.

Tonight the house suddenly went out of lights. Because of Maya's habit of stripping little Selena naked at bedtime, so that night little Selena with only yellow panties pictured pikachu was asleep in Maya's room.

At the time the lights went off, Maya was lying next to Selena. Because the candle was under, so he came out of the room to go down to the kitchen to pick up the candle.

Maya almost fainted on the spot, when she saw the little boy with a white cloth covering the tiny body standing inside her room.

The little boy who was none other than Andre, turned towards Maya and grinned with a face covered in baby powder.

Then the lights came on.

And the once dark room turned bright instantly.

On the floor little Selena who only wears panties with a prone position is crying.

Maya hears Selena's miserable sobbing.

"Fear... Mama scared... Hix... Hicks..."

Andre just kept giggling with laughter imitating kuntilanak.

Maya scolded him, and Andre immediately fell silent.

Maya holds little Selena and pats her bare back gently.

"Sstttt is dear. Aunt here."

From the moment they entered elementary school, Andre always mocked Selena with the incident. But if he is bullied by other children, if Cristine is not there, Andre will sometimes help him.

Selena can't remember when exactly their relationship was a little tenuous and awkward.

It was Selena who slowly drifted away from Andre, when she heard Andre saying cruel words about her to her friends back then, perhaps the person she would have liked was Andre.

With Andre's kindness and every existence during this time in Selena's life, there's no way she's not touched at all.

She already had a little bit of that feeling for him, but Selena did not expect Andre to say that he was just a burden and that any of his kindness during this time was just fake.

Suddenly what Selena felt back then, her tender heart for Andre, became cold and hard. For the first time he felt in love and heartache at the same time.

She no longer had any hope for her welcome, so Selena buried her in silence, swallowing the heartache for the first time from the person she liked was alone. No one ever realized that Selena had hurt her feelings.

And Andre never knew, because of his carelessness and arrogance in the past, making him lose the love he was trying to achieve at this time.

*****

"Do you want to stop by?" Selena asked pleasantries as they were already in front of the house that looked simple.

"Your mother's inside?" Ask Andre.

"Yes.it seems. Wanna enter?" hail Selena again.

"If your mother wasn't home I'd stop by." murmured Andre.

"Huh..." Selena did not hear what Andre had just said.

Andre shook his head "It's nothing. I'm leaving." Andre said and went straight from there.

Selena did not go inside. She stood at the door for a while, and when she had not seen Andre, Selena came in.

But before Selena opened the door, her hand was captured.

"Did you miss me?"

A deep hoarse voice lingered in Selena's ears and spread in her heart, making the heart beat fast.
