Dreams and Hope [POV: Andheera]
Episode 54

The Reza alvarez residence.

The sound of knocking on the door rang out from the outside, making Reza who was enjoying her rest time on the sofa hurriedly wake up to welcome anyone who came.

“login!” exclaim Reza from within.

“dad..” call Andheera who walks near her father.

“dad's youngest daughter turns out, is there anything you need Andheera?” ask Reza.

“I want to borrow a book, dad.” Sahut Andheera walked to the bookshelf beside his father's desk.

“aahh so, tumben, usually you are the laziest to read the book.” he said again while watching his youngest daughter who was looking for the book she wanted.

“winter bear..” muttered as he found a book with a title familiar to him, he immediately grabbed the book with a soft look as if he was remembering a memory he could never forget.

“you want to read the fictional novel Winter Bear? I don't think it will suit your taste.” His father said as he got up from his seat to approach Andheera who still wanted to read some parts in the book Winter Bear.

“how is the end of the friendship Bear and Ellsa.. father?” andheera asked as she looked at her father's face with a sad look.

“hah? have you read it?” ask father.

“no, I only know from my friend, he is a fan of the novel Winter bear.” His mouth then focused again on the novel he was holding.

“so, emm. who I remember Ending from the novel was open Ending, they both got lost in a big labyrinth, and both got lost, after that no one knows they will meet again or both have a different way home.” Evidently.

“then what's the end of what dad wants for Bear and Ellsa.?”

“amm.. I think everyone would want a happy ending, but Andheera.not all can go as they wish, nor does life not always really end in happiness.” Said his father while wiping his daughter's head complete with a warm look of a father.

“iyaa I understand, I will borrow this book father.” His mouth then intends to leave after getting what he wants.

“Andheera.” called his father when his daughter was about to open the door of his room, he turned around without making a sound.

“father loves you very much.” Then his father, who was answered by Andheera's thin smile, passed away.

As soon as Andheera came out of her father's room, the phone in her pocket shook, without waiting any longer she reached into the phone in her pants pocket.

“kak Brian..” murmured before finally picking up his phone.

“Hallo..” greet Andheera.

“ada what.?” andheera asked after greeting each other.

“now?!”

“iyaa alright.” He closed his phone and put the phone back in his pants pocket.

On the playground near the Andheera complex.

Andheera and Brian are swinging while licking the ice cream that Brian bought on his way to meet Andheera.

“why do you want to meet these nights?” ask Andheera who started the conversation at that time, because Brian has not talked much since he came.

“you believe me right?”

“suddenly, why?” sahut Andheera glanced for a moment at Brian.

“aku only.”

“what happened to you?” andheera asked a little worried.

“no.. can you cheer me up?” he said as he bowed his head and occasionally kicked the pebbles scattered under the swing.

“why?” andheera asked in a flat tone as well still licking her ice cream.

“because I'm sad right now.” He still bows his head.

“why?”

“YAAAKK!!” snapped Brian annoyed because from earlier Andheera only replied with one word ‘why.

“HAHAHA!! okay-okay okay, but I can't comfort you because I'm not a comedian.” He said complete with a face that sucks.

“huuhh.. You are really unreliable!” grouch Brian.

“ciihh. Besides who are you until I have to entertain you.” Andheera Reply.

“astaga..

“HAHAHAHA!! quickly finish off ice cream brother Brian, I'll take you around on my bike.” His exclamation then devoured the rest of his ice cream and got up from the swing to walk towards his bike.

Not wanting to make Andheera wait longer, Brian also devoured all the remaining ice cream as Antheera had done, then followed Andheera's steps.

“you'll piggyback me?” asked Brian while wrinkling his forehead. “you sure are strong?” he added again when Andheera had occupied the front seat and prepared to pedal his bike.

“mu bet again? if I can take you for an hour without stopping you must grant my wish.” He said while showing a meaningful smile.

“not.. ”, the last time I underestimated you I myself got the stone. He said he was sitting on the passenger seat.

“hehehe!!” Andheera gave a crisp laugh before finally starting to pedal her bike.

The night is getting late both in the city of Yogya or in Jakarta, the difference if in Yogya is being drenched in increasingly heavy rain while in Jakarta the weather is very supportive to play around at night.

Accompanied by thousands of stars and a moon full of atmosphere that night was really glowing, as well as the situation that occurred between Brian and Andheera who seemed still fun playing outside, interspersed with jokes and their happy laughter, for a moment they look like they do not have any burden.

As usual Kirin School High School always holds various kinds of competitions between classes, as a place for all students to interact with each other in addition to their classmates, also to celebrate their class rise by having fun doing the wide variety of races they want.

Some of the students had gathered in the stadium, (the basketball hall in the room) according to their class, and others were scattered throughout the school room, he said, because many of the races held that day make several races in done together in different places.

Do not want to lose with other classes that are encouraging their fellow students in the field area, some of the girls in Andheera's class also cheered his friends who joined the basketball game that will start soon.

“YEEE..!! YEEEEEE..!! LALA..!! IPA-2 FIGHTING'S..!! HUUUUU..!!” they shouted in complete unison with a banner that read a player's name as well as pom-poms that enlivened the atmosphere at that time.

Although initially Andheera insisted on missing the race that was illegally registered by the class leader, but he could not avoid it again when all his close friends were Vivian, Anha, Jerim was also Hanyoora who forcibly picked him up at his residence.

Inevitably he is now in the midst of the chaos in the stadium, making his face look annoyed as if the girl is really uncomfortable with the crowd like this.

“your race is 30 minutes away, you won't do a dress rehearsal with Jaehyun.?” anha whispered to Andheera who was sitting beside her.

“gak tuh..” sahutnya with annoying tone as usual.

“HEY!! where's Yerim?” greet Vivian who had just joined between them by carrying various snacks in her arms.

“he's gone just now, the race is about to start.” Anha answered while shifting to give Vivian space to sit between them, then answered a nod and a friendly smile from Vivian.

“you're from anywhere, I'm bored here by myself.” His babble was complete with the look of his sour face and the two hands he put on his chest.

“then you think I'm what..ghost?!” anha's protest that was not accepted by Andheera's complaint just now.

“you want?” to mediate between his two friends Vivian offers Anha her snacks.

“when did your race start?” asked Anha while opening a snack owned by Vivian and began to enjoy it.

“after a basketball game.” says while reaching for something in the pocket of his sports pants.

“what is it?” asked Anha again after Vivian managed to pull out something in her pants pocket.

“hehehe.. lipstick I want to make up my lips a little so that they are not too pale.” Responded while trying to close the red lipstick that he held.

“wait.. It is better to use just liptint so that it looks natural.” His suggestion while taking out a liptint from his small bag and giving it to Vivian.

“liquid like this how is the package?” Vivian was puzzled as she looked at the shape of the liptint given by her friend.

“you lick.” Andheera's chirps were immediately slapped on the back of her head by Anha, suddenly it made Vivian a little comforted as if Anha was defending herself.

“YAAAKK!!” snapped Andheera while rising from his seat complete with a face full of anger.

“sit down, if you don't want to be the center of attention.” Said Anha Santuy without looking at a bit because his gaze was only focused on the spacious area and snacks.

Andheera relented to let her go because she had another way of avenging Anha's actions just now. As soon as Andheera sat back down Vivian immediately gave her another snack to slightly ease Andeera's annoyance just as she had done before to Anha.

“KAK BRIANNN!” exclaimed Vivian who immediately rose from her seat to welcome the presence of Brian who had just joined in the middle of the room, making Anha and Andheera surprised instead of playing, to choke on her own snacks.

“uhuukk..uhukkk.” 

“astaga you've really gone crazy!” andheera then chose to leave rather than continue to be in the muddle made by his own friend.

Special bike parking at SMA Kirin school Jakarta.

Once out of the stadium, initially Andheera wanted to go straight to the race but suddenly a dirty idea passed through his mind, making his body reflexively turn around and walk in the opposite direction while showing a grinning smile along his way to the parking lot.

Feeling very upset because Anha always disturbed his calm he did not want to stay silent, as he had often done he would always reply in his own way.

Arrive at the bicycle parking lot.

It did not take long to find the bike belonging to his classmate, because his old bike looks most prominent from other branded bikes. His steps were immediately moved towards the poor bicycle after a few seconds he looked at it with a meaningful gaze.

The cunning girl immediately crouched down and launched her ignorant action on the bike that had nothing wrong, but when her slim fingers were about to touch ****** bicycle tire…

“you did not just hang my bike on the tree, rather than just deflating the tire.” said someone who suddenly appeared behind Andheera, to make himself surprised and sitting limp beside Anha's bicycle.

Anha leisurely walks past Andheera to carry her bicycle, but the girl who is still sitting on the asphalt can only grin when Anha is watching her commit a criminal act.

“isn't it time to go home yet.?” andheera asked as she got up from her seat.

“tasks I have finished putting all of you to participate in the annual race.” His father was still holding his bicycle.

“kau?”

“i'm busy, besides I've permission before.” Sahut again.

“what are you busy with? the exam just ended.” His protest felt this was unfair to him.

“you forgot, I have a lot of part-time jobs Andheera to meet all my needs, unlike you who just ask your father and mother.” Evidently.

“this time you will work where..?” ask Andheera who started to lower her tone.

“amm.. I just got accepted at a BangQit Agency as a freelancer just to help in the make up artist, okay already yes I'm late byee..” concluded while riding his bike then began pedaling his bike without waiting for a response from his friend who was still silent down as if he was thinking something in his mind.

“buk..” Just a few seconds Andheera shifted her gaze but her friend had disappeared like a human who could teleport hahaha.

“what is he really a ghost?” muttered Andheera while still looking at the road in front of him.
