Dreams and Hope [POV: Andheera]
Episode 27 (Day sia*l)

Around Brian's compound.

The handsome man, who looked a lot like Kim Taehyung, was waiting for someone with anxious expectations, afraid that the answer he got was something he should not know.

“you called me Brian? what's up?” the voice he was waiting for came from behind.

“because Brother is busy, I will directly ask you the thing I want to know.” Brian turned his back to Daniel's secretary, whom he considered to be his own brother.

“ask?” sahut the secretary.

“who's Hyunjie?” without a doubt he asked while looking intently at the eyes of his father's secretary, the face of Bima man who was 9 years older than Brian was surprised to hear an unexpected name.

“it seems right my guess, Hyunjie is not an ordinary person, who is he? What does this have to do with my dad?” brian continued because Bima still did not respond to her who was curious.

“he's just your father's college friend.” replied Bima as briefly as possible.

“really? Then why should you keep an eye on her, and report her condition once every year? What do I need to do if I'm just a college friend?!!” brian shouted unable to control his emotions.

“it.. “ Bima is still in doubt, whether he should tell the truth to the eldest son of Daniel.

“you have regarded me as your sister, right, sister. Please tell me everything, who the woman really is.” Brian grabbed Bima's arm while showing his two teary eyes, Brian tried to hide the state of his heart that was not okay, but the tears seemed to be uncompromising, evidently when Bima opened her mouth to explain Brian began to sob.

Brian is deeply afraid of the fact that his father has another woman, and tries to hide her from Jesika/Her mother. Although he had thought this would happen, after he eavesdropped on his father's conversation but he still wanted to make sure, hoping he heard wrong and all was well.

On the way home Andheera, because he was not used to taking a taxi or cart he had to walk a little far to the bus stop.

BRUUKKKKK .. something hard fell on Andheera's head, “aaw..” ringis Andheera while stroking his poor head.

“OH SHITT!! FUCKING BRE**@, Anj*#, fgjk@*##h!!” the girl continued to curse even though the pain in her head had disappeared, she took the fruit that had fallen on her head and looked her head up to see who had done this to her.

“YAAAAAAA!!” yelled Andheera when she found out that she was none other than her own friend, Yesa Anha who was still hanging right above her head was looking at her from above while grinning to feel guilty.

“HEEYYY YOU'RE A THIEF!!!” exclaimed the gentlemen from a distance while pointing towards the two of them.

Suddenly Anha was surprised and dropped himself right towards the girl who was below him, Andheera did not have time to avoid which resulted in him now again stricken, because it happened suddenly, because it happened suddenly, Andheera who could not bear the weight of Anha's body finally they both fell with the body containing Anha overtook Andheera's slim body.

Without lingering before the fathers arrived, Anha picked up the mango he stole, then got up and pulled Andheera's hand to run away. Being hit 2 times to make Andheera unable to think clearly, he followed Anha running without complaining as if the person holding her was Vivian.

“okeey.. “ Anha took off her grip after running as far as possible, then tried to regulate her breathing while looking at Andheera who was now starting to react, Andheera looked at the strange Anha who was next to her.

“huuhh.. haaahh wait, why do I have to run with you.” Andheera's brain starts back to work.

Looking at Andheera's expression that looked very funny due to confusion, Anha could only laugh crisply, she also did not expect to be able to meet that rude girl today.

“hhahaha..!! if I don't pull you, you could be a thief's accomplice because you're under that mango tree.” Evidently.

“oh ****! I just passed by, and what? you stole that?!” Andheera looked at Anha with a look of disbelief if an Anha, the good-natured class president and many people who were disinclined by her leadership in class, turned out to be a thief.

“my boss's wife is cravings, he says he wants manga.” Anha explained that her friend did not misunderstand the word thief.

“you can buy it.” said Andheera still does not understand why Anha does such a thing.

Without realizing it, he had interacted with many other people besides Vivian and handsome men.

“dia want stolen mango hhehehe.. already yes I have to go back to work thanks for running with me.” Anha waved her hand, then ran away leaving Andheera still in disbelief at what happened a few minutes ago.

“waaaahh .. daebak, heol, jinjja, hhhahahaa !!” Andheera laughed at herself for never imagining something like this would come to her.

“I can't believe I met 2 silly guys at once today, even when my hands were pulled I couldn't take them off, did they have glue in their hands, fuck augh.!!” continued Andheera again who was still looking sharply at the back of Anha, who ran further and further away from his sight.

“ I hope this is the last.” concluded and then turned around because he had run too far to have to return to the stop.

Note: daebak, heol, tujja is the expression of someone when they feel distrustful of the situation that occurs.

Shopper.

After Bima told him everything, he returned to the Hotel to continue his work, while Brian chose to take a walk around the complex to marry his mind, until he was exhausted from continuing to grind.

Finally he stopped at a department store near the city park, then bought some canned drinks and drinks them in a chair provided by the department store in his front yard.

Brian touched the can of drink on the table, then held his head which began to feel very dizzy. Tears began to flow back on the cheeks of the man who was about to graduate school in the next few months, he could not accept the harsh reality of his father's love story in the past.

“Hyunjie was Mr. Daniel's ex-girlfriend in college,”

“not that it was decades ago, do you still hope to return with that woman,”

“Your father wanted to take over Hotel Zeus entirely from Lady Jesica, which is why your father left his long-time girlfriend, and chose to marry her Lady Jesica.  Your father wanted to keep watching/keeping Miss Hyunjie secretly because he felt guilty for leaving her alone, plus recently your father found out that he had a child with Miss Hyunjie, and it blinds him more and more to feel guilty.”

“But to go back to him I don't think it's possible, because your father already has you, so don't worry about this again okee.”

Brian tried to hold back his tears but he could not stop sobbing because he did not know what to do, he thought that the woman named Hyunjie was the third person among his parents, he thought, but in fact, the woman is the victim of the treatment of her father and mother who are not responsible.

“are you in love?” someone who suddenly sat in front of him invited Brian to talk while occasionally sipping a canned drink he had just bought.

Slowly Brian raised his head so that he could clearly see the face of someone in front of him.

“no..” Brian's response with a pitiful look made someone earlier feel sympathetic towards him.

“hmm, can you play basketball?

Is here there a basketball field.” asked someone earlier while circulating his gaze around looking for a field.

“no.” replied Brian flat.

“we go to your school.” take someone and then get up from his chair.

“you want to cheer me up.” guess Brian still looks uninspired.

“yaa already if you do not want.” ketusnya while walking away.

“there to broo.” exclaim Brian who walked ahead of someone earlier.

An unexpected friendship is established between them, although not yet properly acquainted but they look familiar walking together, in fact they do not know each other's names.

The sky is getting darker, the sun has completed its task today, then slowly replaced by several stars that began to appear one by one, accompanied by rain spots that began to wet the city of Jakarta at that time.

No one expected it to rain today, because the weather forecast in the morning said it would be as sunny as ever.

But suddenly the raindrops add to the competitive spirit between Brian and the stranger who was none other than Ray Keenan, instead of taking shelter they both even more excited to play basketball, and even more, although only the two did not dampen the excitement of their basketball game.

Because it can not be denied, Brian is not an easy opponent as well as Keenan who has played basketball since childhood, he was used to falling, waking up slipping until his body was filled with scratches and bruises, he said, because he was too aggressive in playing basketball, because he could not accept defeat.

“you won't give up?” said Brian who looked exhausted while dribbling the ball, he still forced himself to play against his new friend.

Keenan grinned waiting for Brian to let his guard down and took over the ball that was in Brian's grasp.

“are you tired?” finally Keenan managed to snatch the ball from Brian, then bring and put it into the ring, again Keenan scored points, and, Keenan smiled meaningfully at Brian who was starting to run out of breath after almost 1 Hour of playing.

“no!! I'm not tired at all.” said Brian even though his body wanted to stop, but his pride forced Brian to keep playing Keenan.

They come back to play in the middle of the raindrops that occasionally make them slip, it's like a game in the sports olympics, they play to the end of blood, no one wants to give up on either Brian or Keenan, he said, even though their bodies were completely exhausted and many scratches everywhere due to falling many times, but they did not care at all.
