"I will pick her up, you just trust me," said Raenal asking Giral not to give him a ban because this time Raenal just wanted to know what his younger sister was doing because he was too busy with his studies and also the work his father gave him to the point. Very rarely spoke with his younger sister.
"Mom said I was sick, I just didn't want to get mad at her. You know if what she said was absolute, I just didn't want to get it." Raenal rolled his eyes lazily, he glanced at the watch on his right hand, the man this time asked his younger brother for understanding.
"Listen to me," Raenal asked seriously. "Whatever the problem, whatever is going on right now. I just want to pick up Arra, not looking for trouble."
"Mommy will understand if I explain it," continued Raenal this time more firmly and loudly than Giral, as a good brothee Giral chose to sigh heavily without permission, the man walked away leaving Raenal in his car.
"Tell me if there's anything you need to tell me, I'm waiting for you in your room," asked Giral making Raenal agree and nod his head walking towards his brother's car, and immediately headed for the caffe her mother said earlier.
Dinner had finished an hour ago, and since then Giral and Raenal were only arguing about their little sister Arra.
There's nothing to worry about actually, it's just that Raenal who is secretly loving, and Giral who always gives a lot of direct affection makes the two always fight.
Blame Raenal's mouth, the man did not open and speak the truth. And also blame Giral, because that man sometimes always misunderstands and doesn't understand what Raenal wants.
Raenal drives his younger brother's car at a moderate speed, he is still a little sick, and Raenal has never driven a car at high speed.
The man is very obedient to traffic, as is Giral. It was just that Raenal could go wild if he was faced with something urgent.
Fifty minutes of driving, Raenal finally arrived at his sister's cafe, the man deliberately didn't go straight in and chose to observe what his sister was doing.
From behind the car window Raenal stared intently at someone who was talking to Arra, a man of Giral's age, with a curt tone but his gaze was a bit scornful.
"Who's he?" Raenal asked continuously seeing Arra talking to him quite familiarly, not long after that a man may be older than Arra a few years came to Arra and also the same man.
There was a small argument between the two of them, Arra continued to talk to the man to explain something, and the older man didn't say anything either.
The two men looked cold war with his gaze, even this time Arra started to speak. Raenal didn't hear it, but it could be seen that the two of them did have a core dominant attitude.
Picking up sound from inside the cafe.
"He's still not home?" asked the man who came twice for today because he was curious about the same man who had not changed his clothes at all this morning. "Bro Kevin I'm sorry, I just didn't mean to do this. But this caffe is public, it's public. anyone can linger in this cafe," Arra answered in answer to a question from her senior because she didn't mean to defend one of them but both of them were the same.
"But, isn't all that strange?" Kevin asked again feeling the need to protect the little girl from Tyo's horrible stare at Arra.
Actually, Kevin didn't think to what extent the man would harass Arra, it's just that because Kevin knew who Arra was, the man only felt that he needed to take care of him.
Moreover, Arra is a junior who attends the same school as him.
"Bro, don't be like that. I don't know how to answer it," Arra responded, again feeling pressed and uncomfortable with Kevin's good intentions since earlier. "I'm coming again," he told Arra of his arrival. Kevin's cold eyes this time glanced a little at Tyo who was listening to his conversation but chose silence and stared blankly in another direction.
"Because of that man, I'm worried for your safety," She continued boldly, even Arra who heard it was surprised by Kevin's answer because in reality the two of them did not have a that serious closeness that made the man have to tell his worries to him, Arra, in front of everyone busy with his world.
"Bro," Arra whispered, realizing how serious Kevin's face was when she said it, making it hard for her to swallow.
Only Arra and Kevin were standing in the debate, Tyo who heard it was also still sitting in the same position as before. "Why? Am I wrong?"
"You're your junior, I know you. It's natural, I'm worried about you because that guy keeps stealing glances at you with strange looks. I'm not angry, I just meant to take care of you."
"I intended to just pass through this cafe, but seeing that the man was still here, I came again. Isn't it weird, Arra?" Kevin asked asking for an answer from Arra when the woman looked at him with sparkling eyes asking for more explanation because what Kevin had was also true.
"But I told you earlier too, Bro. Tyo is my brother's friend, so I don't have to worry about me because my older brother's friend is just like my own brother," Arra explained lightly, making Kevin really couldn't understand Arra's answer this time.
"Gosh," The man complained, walking away from Arra and Tyo because he had a bad feeling. Seeing Kevin Arra's departure feeling even more guilty, he sat beside Tyo to ask.
"What did I say to hurt her feelings, Bro I don't know why I'm angry, Kevin is a boy who has a lot of boyfriends at school, and a girlfriend who likes him. I still can't accept his very nice attitude to me because at school he was so annoying." Arra pursed her lips as she spoke, this time making Tyo be a jerk like what Kevin had said before.
Tyo looked seriously at the small, pink, and chubby little lips of his little sister's little sister, even Tyo swallowed his saliva so hard to see it.
"I don't justify what you said earlier," Tyo replied, making Arra start not to think that what he did ended up being even weirder because Arra defended Tyo but the man didn't like him.
"Where did I go wrong?" asked Arra asking for an explanation from the grown man because he still didn't understand his mistake, because according to Arra what he did was big.
"You don't need to talk rudely with your seniors like that, it means it's good..he said that because he wanted to take care of you, he didn't believe me because you could have lied to him because I did you a bad thing by threatening you." This is the longest sentence Tyo has ever spoken to anyone, even a stranger whom they had met for the first time before.
"What do you mean, Tyo?" asked Arra wanting to shorten it. "He doesn't trust you because he likes you," Tyo explained densely, even concluding that the other men (because they had previously accused Arra of liking Fian) liked him.
Arra, who heard Tyo's brief story, was even surprised. Even Arra thought about what kind of joke the man was talking about right now.
Tyo even looked at him with a serious look making Arra even more unable to laugh because Tyo was trying to speak sharply.
"I know you're just joking Bro," said Arra finally opening her voice. "After you guessed that I liked Fian and turned out to be wrong, how can I trust you now that you're boasting again?" Arra shook her head disapprovingly, she didn't accept what Tyo had told her at all.
"Reason number two is, he's a boy." Tyo resumed his previous explanation making Arra silent with a scarred face and started not laughing. His face started to get nervous and a little uncomfortable.
"Are you getting scared now?"
"You told him I wasn't dangerous."
"You told him I was your older brother too."
Arra started to stand up and intended to leave Tyo because the atmosphere was starting to get worse. "Where are you going?" Tyo asked holding Arra's hand as Arra's speed stood up and Tyo prevented Arra's departure which seemed very fast.
Tyo's hand gripped Arra's wrist tightly enough to make Arra startled and threw her roughly. "What are you doing!" annoyed Arra so getting sudden treatment makes Arra alert with Tyo.
"Why? I'm just not done with--"
"Let go of my little sister's hand," said someone coming from behind Arra by interrupting Tyo not to touch Arra. Tyo who heard the man say that his younger sister Arra began to gently release him.
"Where's your manners?" asked Raenal who came with an unfriendly look making Tyo not mean to hurt Arra instead make his position wrong.
"I didn't mean to do that. But before that, I'm sorry Bro Raenal." Shit! Raenal who heard his name spoken by the man could even only squeak in annoyance, the man was really in a bad state hearing everything that happened from the source of information he just got from someone.
"You know my name too?" Raenal asked again making Arra swallow hard, this time she wanted to raise her voice again.
"Bro Tyo is a friend of Bro Giral, isn't that a friend of Bro Raenal too?" asked Arra separating the debate before her first brother started to get angry.
"Not every friend becomes someone else's friend, Arra. If you ask Giral if the man is his friend you also know that the man is not his friend. You don't have to lie to your older brother just because that guy is your older brother's friend."
"What Kevin told you was true. No one can be trusted by a stranger, even if you know his name. We don't know if it's coming well or not, even when we know that the guy is in this cafe more than eight hours a day. Start thinking mature from now on, let's go home." Finished talking to Arra deliberately in front of Tyo in the end the brothers went home with Raenal to help Arra get ready.
It was clear without action that Raenal did not like Tyo's presence, both near and far. That's not without reason.
