Outside Resto.
“so I had a chance to see the clown open his head and he was so beautiful,” Jessy muttered as she walked out with Ben, the two of them stood waiting for Andheera on the other side while watching the clown who was still working to spread the promotion.
“last? I think you're prettier.” says Ben.
“Ya!! Stop teasing me like that.” Angry jessy while hitting Ben's shoulder which even looks grim.
“awww.. (ringis Ben) I did not tease you I said honestly.” Added Ben.
“aiissh... How many girls have you seduced, I feel sorry for those poor girls.” His grunts seraya showed the look of his sour face.
“what are you jealous of hihihi.” Ben Goda.
“i am jealous hahaha!!! I've got Brian Brother Tuh.”
“you!”
“Jessy..” call Andheera who stopped Ben and Jessy's debate.
“you can go home alone Jessy, because our direction is opposite and this is for you.” Said Andheera while giving 1 bag of large crackles containing food to take Jessy home, Jessy could not help her happiness until both her eyes widened and her mouth gaping, he could not believe that he would be bought this much food by Andheera.
“why? I can drive him home.” protest his nephew.
“Kakak would like to talk to you.” Andheera said softly.
“iya it's okay Brother, my house is not far from here, the road is also not up to 15 minutes, thank you very much for the food Brother.” reply Jessy then slightly bent her body to express gratitude and also say goodbye home.
“bye Ben.” Add it with a wave and a sweet smile and then refocus on the streets.
“what you should show clearly if you like Ben.” Murmured Andheera when he saw Ben still staring at the departure of Jessy, did not want to linger Andheera also walked first past Ben, he intends to take his bike is still parked in the comic shop, he wanted to take a long time, with a heavy heart finally Ben followed Andheera's steps.
“I have to go to the pharmacy first Brother.” said Ben while riding his bike.
“you eat seafood?!” sontak Andheera looked at him with a sharp look.
“how can I hold it while it's in front of me.” Ben's response began to feel itching.
“AUGHHH!! You're the same as your father.”grutu Andheera slowly then boarded his bike and left first leaving Ben who still held back his itching.
“what did you say?” fortunately Ben did not hear the sentence that Andheera had thrown just now.
Not wanting to be abandoned by his brother, Ben also tried to catch Andheera with full strength like a racer.
After they finished buying medicine at the airport near the city park, they both decided to take a short break, also starting a simple conversation on the playground while swinging around to enjoy the cool afternoon breeze.
“ammm.. Who guarded the department store was a friend of Brother?” ben asked while licking the ice cream that Andheera bought after he managed to take his bitter medicine.
“hmm..” response Andheera while swinging her swing slowly. “you're feeling better?” Andheera is worried about Ben's condition which is seen still occasionally scratching his body parts.
“will also be better already taking medicine.” Legally.
“what you have to force yourself when you know you can't eat.” Andheera said in a soft tone like an older brother who was advising his wayward younger brother.
“try it happened to you Brother, can you resist the things you love.” Reply Ben who does not want to lose.
“please I don't want to argue with you, how is aunt Ahreum?” ask Andheera who finally relented and changed the topic of her conversation.
“my mother is fine, just the place to eat My mother is not as crowded as it used to be so we were almost kicked out by the building owner for always being late to pay rent.” His face is still enjoying his favorite ice cream.
“that's why you work at your friend's bakery?” ask again.
“iya at least I can ease my school fees.”
“tante Ahreum know you work?”
“no, I just said I got a scholarship so I didn't ask anything for my school.”
“do you still hate your father Ben?” an unexpected question popped up making Ben slightly jolted and immediately glanced at Andheera.
“suddenly, why is Brother talking about it?”
“if you make up with your Dad, don't you have to work like this anymore and your Mom won't be in trouble either.” He tried to give advice for his current difficult situation.
“but my mother will be hurt, every time mom sees my face, I will remember my betrayal. Brother, in this world not everything has a second chance, I know you mean well but my family has been devastated ever since, you even saw it when my mother almost went crazy and hurt herself. It took quite a long time for my mother to be as stable as she is now, I'm sorry Brother.” He said softly while swinging his swing slowly.
“why are you apologizing, you're right Ben when anyone takes the wrong step it's very difficult to go back, because everything can never be the same as in the beginning.” Sahut Andheera while gently rubbing the head of his nephew.
“what is Brother disappointed in me?” Ben stopped his swing for a moment to focus on looking at Andheera's face.
“no Ben, selfish Brother, keeps forcing you to get better with your Dad while Brother himself doesn't know the pain you and your mother feel, forgive Brother.” His words were complete with a warm smile that he was emitting for his nephew.
“No interest, how about you do you want to be an Idol? From such a job you can become a trainee at an agency and debut as Idol.” Andheera.
“being a trainee will not make money Brother, I have to wait until the debut even if it works, what if it is just a waste of time because it does not go as you wish.” He tries to think realistically.
“Sister will help you, you must have succeeded in trusting Brother?” he said, clutching Ben's hand tightly.
“iya but what about my needs now, if I.”
“Sister who will finance everything so stop working part time okay?” andheera tried to convince Ben.
“not that I do not believe, but now I am still Junior High School, not later High School, the cost of education is not a little Brother, I will obey Brother to audition but I will still work part time.” His word.
“stop arguing, you know, this brother of yours is richer than you imagined.” Andheera.
“hahaha I know Big Brother, but it's all money om Reza, how could Big Brother ask for more money om Reza, I don't want to burden him anymore because om Reza has helped me and my mother a lot.” Ben chuckled still disagreeing with the idea that Andheera proposed.
“no, the money I gave you is mine.” Andheera cried who also did not want to give up this time.
“apa?” suhut Ben who does not understand the sentence Andheera.
“other than the monthly money from my father, I got from Brother and Omma, it's more than enough for both of us so you don't have to worry about any more fees, because you have Big Brother.” His words while pengnggem tighter also looked at him fixedly.
“oke well, when I succeed later I will return it 2 times.” Said Ben who finally relented to follow what his brother ordered.
“hey, 3 times.” Sahut Andheera with his song.
“ahahahahaa okay 3 times, thanks Brother you know I love you very much.” Said Ben who came down from his swing then turned to hug Andheera who was still sitting on the swing.
“hmm Brother too, let's take you home.” Reply Andheera who then got up from the swing and walked hand in hand with Ben to his bike which was still parked in front of the convenience store.
“no need I'm a man and have a great time delivered with women.” Said Ben.
“ciihh, in my eyes you still pajik you know.” He then clasped Ben's arm and swung it around.
“aaahh Kakakaa.” whine Ben like a boy who was teased by his older sister, while Andheera just smiled broadly in response to Ben's whining.

On the way home Andheera and her nephew Ben, still while paddling his bike behind Ben, his two sharp eyes found a familiar figure playing in front of the courtyard of an orphanage, and what attracted his attention was someone who was watching the people who were waiting from a distance.
“BEN!” calling Andheera made Ben immediately stop and look back with his innocent gaze.
“wait a minute.” He added as he watched the suspicious person, deep on the roof of an abandoned building.
The girl suddenly came back to mind when the incident happened some time ago someone who looked suspicious as if he was watching his friend Vivian.
Meanwhile, aware that Andheera was in front of the gate, Vivian who was playing in the yard tried to approach Andheera out of the ring with a confused expression.
“Andheera, how can it be here?” call Vivian spread her attention to the suspicious figure, until it disappeared back as fast as lightning as Andheera only turned her head for a few seconds.
“ahh I just happened to pass by here, I want to take my nephew home.” Andheera then set his sights on Ben, but ..
“where he is.” muttered Andheera found Ben missing in front of her, then he circulated his gaze to look for his nephew.
“KAKAKAAA I want to play here first!!” exclaiming Ben who turned out to be in the courtyard of the orphanage and playing with the children of the orphanage.
“that's your nephew?” asked Vivian while looking at Ben who was busy playing with other orphanage children.
“iya, argh I shouldn't have asked him to stop earlier.” Andheera muttered as she led her bicycle into the parlour and passed Vivian.
“waahh it seems like the genes in your family do not disappoint.” said Vivian who followed Andheera's steps until they went hand in hand.
“if I am reborn I want to be born from your family hihihi.” Vivian ngasal.
“you sure you will be reborn as a human?” andheera said that made Vivian's mood fall instantly.
“astaga! Your mouth is the problem, your mouth!” vivian grumbled not to accept Andheera's words.
“hey where are you going?” vivian exclaimed as he watched Andheera continue to walk while guiding his bicycle towards the backyard.
“backpage looks like I saw swing.” His mouth without looking.
“then just put the bike here, no need you bring it back.” He said, Andheera according to then continue his journey to the backyard followed by Vivian who walked a step slower than Andheera.
