Dreams and Hope [POV: Andheera]
Episode 66

While it was still in the city park but on a different side, Keenan was single-handedly taking a leisurely stroll while breathing fresh air.

The sky was getting darker and the night was about to arrive in a matter of minutes, but Keenan did not care, he still wanted to calm his mind after a few hours trying to find a little girl in the past.

But her search ended tragically, the little girl had actually disappeared somewhere and left only a very deep wound for Keenan left behind.

“you should not have stretched out your hand at that time, only to let me face my own difficulties.de.gan so I do not need to rely on you, even after 4 years you left me, the pain is still imprinting so deep.” He muttered while holding back tears of longing for his little friend and then sat on the bench of the park.

Keenan set his eyes on the sky that had changed colors while imagining the face of the little girl in his past, no matter how much pain he got, the man who had grown up still smiled broadly for Andheera.

Till..

“kak Keenan!” call a man who stood not far from him, When Keenan turned to respond to the call, Brian immediately ran over to Keenan and sat down beside him.

“kak what else? daydreaming alone, again confused?” chirps Brian who then broke the ice bon bon that he was holding to share with Keenan.

It was with pleasure that Keenan's arm immediately received the piece of ice bon bon bon that was given to him, then ate it along with Brian who also began to enjoy his ice bon bon.

“where are you out of?” ask Keenan.

“I finished Training, I will have told you that I have been accepted in bangQit agency.”.

“ahh.. yes I guess you are boasting.” Keenan response that makes Brian immediately turn his head and look at him cynically.

“ches! you can't see my face is very handsome, it's a pity that if only being an ordinary citizen, I have to be a successful idol that dominates the world hahaha!” he exclaimed with confidence.

“iya.. yes dream as you like, how about your lecture?” ask Keenan again.

“ahh that. I have to postpone it at least a year, because I have to finance my own college.” He said that he still enjoyed each other's ice bon bonds.

“why?” keenan's response with a worried-looking face.

“because my father didn't let me be an idol, I was forced to leave home and live independently.” Clearly in a soft tone.

“APA! where do you live now?” yell Keenan who's getting worried.

“before I lived in an orphanage, where my friend used to live, fortunately my stepmother still recognized me, so let me stay for a while. And now I live in dorm.” Clearly again.

“then how can you live without a penny of money?” keenan.

“i work part-time at the resto to drop off food and keep the comic shop.” The answer.

“if I stay alone maybe I'll take you stay with me.” His murmur was still clearly heard in Brian's ears.

“then can you dong sometime I play to your house?”

“hmm. apartment bougenville unit 129.” Her speech.

“bougenville apartment?” Brian repeated Keenan's sentence just now as if he was remembering something in his mind.

“iya.. Have you been there?”

“that means kak Keenan 1 apartment with Andheera.” Inner Brian “waaahhh..” Brian chirps.

“what is wah?” ask the confused Keenan.

“no.. I mean the Bougenville apartment is famous for its elite area, it means Mr. Keenan rich man hahaha, just like me.” Ngasal.

“likeyou? it's not like you're falling poor!” keenan's response then moved from the park bench to go back for a walk along with the ice bon bon bon that had been used up then he threw it into the trash not far from him.

“sial! just look at it later once I succeed I will definitely buy you anything you want!” exclaim Brian who follows Step Keenan behind after throwing his ice bon bon bon garbage into the trash.

“really? then just buy me a Lamborghini.” Temptation Keenan.

“Hey.. I will eliminate later if I have succeeded!” yells.

“hahahhaha!! by the way we are only a few months adrift, why still keep calling me brother.”

“because I want to have a sister like you.” Said with his two sparkling eyes, Keenan was unable to hold his anxiety on the man beside him to make himself ruffled Brian's hair complete with a wide laugh.

Not minding what Keenan did to him, Brian responded to Keenan with a smile as if he was also happy to get the love of an older brother who had never been in his life.

***

While her father and Vivian were buying snacks at a nearby convenience store, Andheera and Tsuyu were sitting on the grass in the city park area while enjoying the cool breeze of the night that blew at that time.

“actually.I still do not believe in the mental condition of Andromeda, because from what I have seen all this time he looks cheerful, humorous also full of laughter, even for the interns and people he just met, he was always the first to say.. Hay!” said Tsuyu who started his conversation with Andheera.

“do not just look from the outside only, because sometimes the person who laughs the loudest he is the one who keeps a lot of wounds.” His mouth looked at the sky with both hands supporting his body.

“my brother has never been on a date, he always prioritizes education, so he can graduate with a fairly young age, but behind the achievements and medals he won from the race and the school Olympics first…” Andheera stopped her sentence for a moment to look at Tsuyu's pitiful face.

“Tak was only 1 time, but many times he tried to kill himself by almost dropping himself on the overpass, he said, his emotions were still unstable back then until he was depressed and did such a horrible thing.” Its effects.

“lucky, I have installed a tracking device on his phone, once I know he is heading to a dangerous place, I will immediately run or pedal my bike like crazy to be able to quickly get to and save my brother.”

“and you.. won't be able to handle Tsuyu, my sister is even more creepy than your mother! I just.. want you guys to be okay with living each of your lives, I think this is the best way for you and my brother.” Definitely,

Andheera ends her story when she sees her father and Vivian has returned after bringing one crackle full of snacks to eat together.

“oke, I'll really go and not come back, after I see my mother is in a mental hospital.” Tsuyu's response was half whispered so as not to be heard by Reza and Vivian who were getting closer to him.

“what are you talking about?” vivian asked as he sat down and put a bag of crackles in the middle of them.

“ciih..” response Andheera complete with both her cynical eyes.

Although from afar it looked so warm and full of happiness, the four of them threw each other a wide laugh as well as a light joke as the small family was talking about this, it was, even things that are not so important do not escape the language of the four of them.

To make people around feel envious with the happy atmosphere they emit, and, not only once or 2 times the visitors to the city park try to glance at them just to watch the laughter so loud that sounds alternating from the four of them.

But behind the laughter was also the look of a happy face that they showed, who would have thought they were all holding a wound that was so deep and could not be revealed to anyone.

The big secret that Reza can never reveal to anyone, even to her two children, the pain of loss experienced by Tsuyu as well as Vivian because of her first love, andheera always pretended to be stronger and bore the burden of truth alone.

The truth in the past or about the death of her best friend's parents, the girl always tried to put herself to be the stalk that would support all the flowers.

Without caring for himself he must always be strong and protect his loved ones in his own way, from the past to the present.

Next day.

Arrived while Andheera was training as one of the trainees at a large agency in Jakarta, while Brian and Ben had already entered Exercise before him.

By carrying a large suitcase containing clothes and also her makeup tools, she, Andheera decided to stay in the dorm with other trainees in order to focus on Exercise also keeping her niece who both lived in the dorm with other male trainees.

Like a model who is doing a catwalk, a lot of who look at Andheera from a distance, as if bewitched by her beauty and elegant-looking outfit.

White shirts belonging to the famous brand, Candel is also combined with a short jeans skirt, do not forget a hat that almost covers half of his cute face. He continued walking towards the elevator, after getting a phone call from a staff of his dorm floor location agency.

The girl immediately stepped her feet without hesitation towards the destination, to pack her things and then began training with other female trainees.

In the elevator..

Although some of them tried to whisper to each other behind Andheera, but the eyes of the eagle Andheera could know clearly if those behind him were talking about it from behind through the reflection of the elevator door in front of him.

Andheera only responded with a small meaningful laugh, as if she was used to dealing with such an annoying situation right now.

Arriving in front of his dorm.

For a moment he stopped to think ‘should I just go in with say helo?! or should I knock on the door first?!’ his raging mind was still holding the handle of his large suitcase he just looked at the door of the dorm before him.

 “whaahh daebak!! you were the one!!” he shouted someone from behind with a friend.

Andheera turned her body to see who was behind her.

“ini from you?” ask 1 friend who is more calm and Andheera just nodded to respond.

“ayo enter.” take him along while opening his dorm door wide so that a large suitcase belonging to Andheera can pass through.

“i thought you were an idol, because no one's eyes missed you, all of them looked at you until you got into the elevator!! that's amazing once.” The girl again voiced her admiration.

“ada what?” ask the other girl who walked out of the kitchen and gulped down her mineral water bottle.

“we have a new friend, what is your name?” tanyanya tried to get acquainted.

Although it looks awkward but Andheera still tries to make himself comfortable with strangers, because inevitably he must get used to if he wants to stay longer to keep his nephew Ben.

“aku Yeji.” while extending his hand right towards Andheera along with his friendly smile.

Not waiting for long Andheera welcomed his hand with a slightly forced smile.

“Andheera.” said.

Then continued with his other two friends.

“call me Ryujin.” he said as he grabbed Andheera's arm after shaking hands with Yeji, then ended with a brief introduction between himself and Lia.

“Lia.”

“Andheera..” reply Andheera still with her faint smile.

The introduction ended, without further ado Andheera intended to go to her room to pack her things. But he again stopped his steps when he found there were 3 rooms in front of him.

“you don't mind if one room with Yuna, (said Yeji trying to explain the situation) actually we are here five and the one who got 1 room is Ryujin, ' he said, because Ryujin 3rd grade Junior High now and have a lot to learn also for his school so Ryujin who get 1 room by himself.”

Andheera fell silent and did not respond to Yeji's words, as if she objected to Yeji's decision. While Lia who did not want to interfere in the room division, she continued her steps towards the living room to watch television broadcasts.

“amm brother Yeji, we should vote to be fair, do not take.” timbrung Ryujin because it feels bad already privileged by Yeji.

“no.. I'm fine, where's my room?” cut Andheera which then ended the tense atmosphere that had occurred and relented to follow the decision of one of his friends.

“oke thanks Andheera, (reply Yeji with his friendly smile) your room is over there, oia Yuna will join us this weekend.” Clearly again.

Andheera only nodded and smiled faintly to respond to the words of her friend, then walked away towards her room.

And that was the end of their brief introduction this morning, before the end of the day they had to train with other trainees until late.

Such activities continue from day to day, as if they really must be required to be perfect and there should be no gap at all, until then they can graduate and debut with their respective groups.

No matter when, no one knows, they will always try and work hard so that they can debut with their closest friends and finally if lucky they will succeed together.
