Raenal came home tired. At six in the afternoon, the man entered the area of the house and walked to the room to take a shower. His body is sticky, the final semester makes Raenal unable to help his father's office work, therefore his mother helps his father more and is not often at home.
Raenal was able to come yesterday, but when he thought about finishing his thesis first, Raenal became even more ambitious.
The man who has the throne of the eldest son has a lot of spirits and is strong, his power is not kidding. It only took fifteen days and occasionally finishing and asking the supervisor made Raenal finish quickly.
The man didn't even ask his father and mother to see his thesis, apart from both of them already completely trusting Raenal, Raenal became more and more confident. Even each chapter is always finished with many corrections, Raenal can always finish it quickly too.
The method is very silly, not like Giral who gave some corrections and finished but too late to submit to the supervisor.
Raenal always makes some of the outline and some of the content until it is finished by describing it only to the extent of rationale.
And unconsciously the supervisor also gave some help, and many revisions made Raenal only steal knowledge, whatever was needed to get ACC one time came after many revisions.
The tips were very clever, but they didn't work much for the other students either.
Raenal arrived at the room, the man immediately washed and left all the important things. Wallets, glasses, earphones, car keys, used jewelry, hats, and some fashion accessories.
Finished tidying up Raenal immediately walked to the bathroom and cleaned up. The man only needed thirty minutes to clean up most of the mess he had on campus all day.
A Raenal came out of the shower with wet hair, towel wrapped around his neck and the man kept rubbing his head to get rid of the water that was in some of the roots of his hair.
"Refreshing," he mumbled once and took the hairdryer and pointed it at his head, the man enjoying every breeze that shot at his head and finished off with some makeup to keep his face cool for the next few hours.
The man glanced at the clock on the wall when he realized it took him a few minutes to come to his senses, Raenal finally walked over to arrange some of his homework, assignments to complete, and the thesis that Raenal would work on in the next three days.
Raenal separates some work and assignments, books that are only used for each course, and many more too.
Finished with that Raenal charged on his laptop and walked out of the room to go to his sister's room.
He walked leisurely, just opened the door to his room, and walked a few steps until he arrived at Arra's room.
By politely knocking on his girlfriend's bedroom door, Raenal finally opened the door to his room when he saw no answer.
"Arra!!!" Raenal calling the woman's name made Raenal panic because there was no answer, even the man started to enter Arra's room and checked the bathroom, balcony, and study room for his sister.
Unfortunately all that didn't work and the result was still the same, there was no answer and that second was able to make Raenal run to the ground floor.
But just as he was about to run to the first rung of the ladder he was already surprised by the appearance of Giral with a tired face.
"You saw Ara?" The first question that came out of Raenal's mouth was Arra's whereabouts, the man didn't know about the woman because there was no last message from Arra.
The woman did read, but not with the reply sent and Raenal also hated the fact that Arra was not a good reply to messages.
"I just got home and haven't looked around the house yet," Giral answered honestly and walked into his room to finish his after-school routine. Giral will take a shower and do some things he needs to do.
Even Giral's usual dinner was forgotten just because the man needed a lot of time to complete his task. "When you're done, come down and help me find Arra." Before Giral disappeared, Raenal purposely said it because he needed to.
"I'll come down later." Giral replied casually and started giving access to Raenal for their conversation. Giral disappeared into the room, finishing his routine while Raenal went down to the first floor to look for his little sister
Forty-five minutes passed, Giral came downstairs in his relaxed manner, there were even a few misprinted papers that made Giral bring down some of his paper waste, causing Raenal to immediately get up from the sofa that very second.
"Arra still hasn't come home," said Renal making Giral roll his eyes lazily, the other hand took the cellphone in his pants pocket and go went to the kitchen after taking out the trash.
Giral took some fruit salad with a little mayonnaise which he deliberately put in a small cup.
Giral was carrying a box, the man deliberately took the chopper for his cutlery.
"You can casually eat salad when you know your little sister isn't home yet, Giral?" Raenal ask with a cornering question, and this time Giral only answered it with a small chuckle without another sound.
"Bro, I haven't even opened it yet," protested Giral as he just sat beside Raenal and the fruit box on his lap. The man just opened it and poured a little mayonnaise for his friend to eat.
Giral started to eat a few snacks voraciously, he even forgot his cellphone which was in his pants pocket.
"Giral!" Raenal again called his younger brother making the man put his snacks on the table and sighed heavily. "Bro, I'm tired."
"I can only sit and eat snacks rarely, don't invite me to fight," continued Giral making Raenal roll his eyes lazily, the man became more sadistic with an annoyed face and suppressed anger. "I'm not asking you to fight."
"At least act if you're worried about Arra, you're Giral's older brother. Same with me, why don't you worry when---"
"I know where Arra is," replied Giral as he desperately held back his anger so as not to fight with his older brother where a ruthless person like Giral had to deal with his eldest brother who was very strict and firm.
"Where? When you know everything why have you been silent since I was looking for Arra, Giral?" The man shook his head in disbelief, taking the same steps as eating his fruit salad. Giral only glanced disinterestedly at Raenal.
"You didn't ask me first," Giral replied making both of them start to realize their ridiculous bickering with each other.
"Aish, this idiot." Raenal cursed more softly, the man took the cell phone and opened it first so that the two of them wouldn't get awkward.
Giral who devoured most of his fruit salad with Raenal who was silent and busy with his cell phone.
Several messages made Raenal begin to furrow his brows slowly. A few hours before, after Raenal and Katya separated and focused on their respective lectures today, there were several messages that caught Raenal's attention at that time.
Message from Katya, where she sent a copy of the message from Giral who contacted her.
Sometimes Raenal and Katya's relationship looks unnatural. Where there is no privacy with each other and fully maintain communication to make both of them fully trust each other.
"You texted Katya?" asked Raenal starting a conversation that was initially quiet and busy each of which attracted Giral, the man nodded his head slowly.
Mouth full of melon pieces, Giral took out his cell phone to give it to Raenal. "Just asking you."
"I wanted to talk to you this afternoon, you were traveling and driving, so I was waiting for you to reply to me, apparently you are busy." Raenal rolled his eyes lazily.
The man didn't answer anything and started reading every message Katya sent him where there was a conversation between Katya and Giral.
"Are you off school today?" Raenal asked once he understood a few messages from some of the messages he gave to Katya. Giral nodded her head slowly and smiled. "Yes."
"I went with Alfi today, only five to six hours. I got a phone call from my group mates to finish research and I ended up having to do my homework tomorrow with my friends." Raenal nodded her head slowly, she might be listening but didn't want to care about the reason.
"You called Katya." Giral rolled his eyes lazily, his sharp eyes this time even explained everything.
"Yeah, because you didn't reply to my messages." Raenal rolled his eyes, lazy to hear Giral's explanation for him
"I don't know why you're always cynical about me, Bro." Giral put down his small and brought a cup of mayonnaise.
"Tell me what your hatred is so you are ready to improve myself, Bro." In fact the cast even looks very beautiful.
"You always give freedom to Arra which worries me, Giral." Raenal answered honestly which this time made Giral lazy to hear it. "You want to know the reason why I gave freedom to Arra?" .Raenal rolled his eyes lazy to listen again.
"Honestly it doesn't matter."
"I don't want Arra to end up with me. I'm not happy you're doing this to me, I just want to give her access to know everything while she can take care of herself. And also---"
"You gave Arra people who could harm her?" Raenal seemed angry now, but the man could still hear it. "What's going on in your head, Bro." Even Giral couldn't understand it at all.
"I'm not defending anyone, even I don't mean to make the same mistake how you pushed it on."
"Honestly it was to my detriment and you who inadvertently educated me in the wrong way and made me want to be free but you kept my body in chains." Giral chuckled before starting another, more serious conversation.
"Anyway, before things get any worse. Thank you for freeing me with Alfi, I'm not forcing you to stop doing it."
"I just want you to realize that what you did was wrong for a long time, Bro." Raenal stared intently at Giral's face, even this time the brave Giral shrank.
"You don't know anything, Giral." The man shook his head to deny it again.
"It's not that I don't know, Bro. But you don't want to understand." Raenal chuckled the man denied it again.
"You who--" Before they finished arguing, someone came in by breaking the fight between the two.
"I am home!!!"
