I'm Not a Bet
Anggara's Arrival

Tristan was very frustrated. He had only been silent in the room since his return from Arindi's apartment earlier. He sat down beside his bed. His eyes looked blankly at the desk calendar he held above his bent knees.

A red circle is circular at the number twenty-three. The circle he made was exactly three months ago when he read Arindi's birth date printed on a piece of paper. The paper is a CV file that will be used for BEM member interviews.

Tristan did not put any notes under him as he vividly remembered what the special meaning of the red circle was.

On the floor, right next to where he was sitting, lay a small plain black box with a rose gold ribbon on it. A small gift that he bought a few days ago with great enthusiasm.

Tristan plans to give it to Arindi right on that date, the date on which Arindi is birthday. He was always excited whenever he thought of that day.

But the events of this morning made his spirit wear off in an instant. It felt like he had just been able to fly high and now the wind was throwing his body to the ground. Be ill. His heart ached and his mind was in disarray.

The words uttered by Nadine this morning were like a bitter reality that she had been hiding with the reason to always be with Arindi. Because he, indirectly, had made the girl difficult and suffering.

Soon he released the calendar he had been holding and placed it onto the floor. He reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone. It quickly opens the instant conversation app. He was trying to contact Arindi.

Arindi's face while releasing her return earlier suddenly flashed in her mind. The girl was sad, he thought. He also started typing a message. But his hand suddenly stopped.

"Ga. Ga now. I have to give her time, "inner Tristan while locking her phone screen back.

...----------------...

Meanwhile, at Arindi's apartment.

"Consider?" arindi said after hearing the voice of the man who had just stepped inside her apartment. Nadine and Rasya also said the same word simultaneously because no less surprised.

The three of them immediately stood waiting for the figure of Anggara who in a split second will immediately appear before them.

"Sister?" arindi said to the figure of Anggara who was walking closer to the three of them.

"Lo at home turned out. There's Rasya Nadine too!" exclaim Anggara looked sharply at the figures of the three friends one by one. He threw his smile at the three of them.

"Oh hello brother how are you?" rasha said politely greeting.

"Sister," said Nadine briefly while gripping tightly to Rasya's wrist beside him.

"In the morning you have gathered. Apparently you have a lot of free time yes," said Anggara relaxed but piercing as usual.

"Oh that's us here because of Arindi sa...." Nadine stopped her words because Rasya deliberately stepped on Nadine's foot so that Nadine would not continue her words. It could be a long matter if Anggara knows that Arindi is sick, Rasya thought.

Rasya's footwork made Nadine grimace sick. "Erghs...."

"Arindi is now looking for inspiration for her new work" Rasya explained quickly before Nadine opened her mouth again.

"Ha-ha-ha... Yes Rasya really, brother," said Arindi laughing crisply while confirming Rasya's speech just now.

"Aren't you different majors?" anggara said probing. He knew they were lying to him. Anggara also put the backpack that was attached to his body.

"Now the idea of kancbis can be sought by discussing with other friends majors, so the idea is more developed. Cross the majors that," said Arindi explained with enthusiasm even though his words sounded very slurred.

"Isn't it because you don't have any other friends besides them?" anggara said coldly. He took off his leather jacket and placed it on the table in the middle of the room casually. Leave a tight white shirt that accentuates his athletic body shape.

"Hadeuh my eyes are not strong," Inner Rasya.

"Well cool, I also want to have that rich sixpack muscle," said Nadine.

While Arindi was struck by her brother's rhetorical question just now. "Sister doesn't have morals."

"Ha-ha sister can, you may not be adek this beautiful sister has no other friends. Yes yes, Nad lo said that he wanted to make a mock together, right?" said Arindi gave a code through the gaze of his eyes so that his two friends quickly leave here.

"Buruan gih sono!!" arindi said while pushing for Rasya and Nadine.

"Owh i - iya. Yes, Nad." Rasya also pulled Nadine's hand which turned out to be still dumbstruck because he did not understand what Rasya and Arindi meant.

"Our maket have been gathered" Nadine whispered to Rasya innocently.

"Ughs... Are you coming with napa?" reply Rasya who also whispered to Nadine.

"Sister, Arin anter Nadine ama Rasya first yes," said Arindi tailed quickly to his two friends. Make sure they leave the apartment as soon as possible.

Anggara just flicked his hands indifferently at Arindi. He walked casually to the long sofa in front of him and then spread his body over it. The journey from home to Arindi's apartment using his motor sport for three hours makes his body feel very tired.

"Why didn't you tell me if you wanted to come here?" arindi asked after her two best friends disappeared. He also took a seat on one of the other sofas.

"Why did you say that?" Anggara lowered his hand that had covered his eyes and glanced at Arindi who was beside him.

"Well, Arin can buy food for you."

"Nope. By the way, why did you come here, eh means there is a reason why you visit Arin on a weekday like this?"

"There's a reason."

"Seriously, can you? How does sister work? Can you leave it?"

"Big brother is also here because of his work!"

"work? Motorcycle package?"

"Ga's wrong, right?"

"Yes gapapa, it's just... Uhm classmate kano if for example want business trip most often must be the same private secretary or aspri it. So it's my own sister. Yes..I mean Arin as if there is a schedule meeting brother, sister residence or. yes just the nyopirin brother," Arindi cerocos trying to find out what his brother's plan is.

"Ngapain. You have an apartment and a car, right" Anggara replied briefly.

"Had brother ngerepotin emang nyebelin. I mean why you came here not to the hotel or anything. Why should my apartment?" inner Arindi. He flicked his lips at Anggara who had closed his eyes again.

The age of Anggara and Arindi was six years adrift. Pretty long. As an older brother who loves his sister, he should take care of his sister and in return, of course, his sister must obey his brother's orders. That's the concept of a sister sister who likes Anggara. For doing nosy to Arindi and seeing her annoyed is her hobby.

Since Anggara began to get busy after being part of his parents' company and Arindi lectures outside the city make the two rarely 'meet'. Or rather, to tease each other.

It just so happens that Anggara has a business agenda in the city where Arindi lives. Of course, he who has missed (to judge) his sister will not miss this opportunity just like that.

"Why? Don't like it when I come here?" anggara said as if he knew the heart of Arindi.

" Like it." Arindi stood up while raising her fists into the air. "How long is the business trip?"

"Look at the backpack I brought. Big right? Because I'm gonna be living in your apartment long."

Arindi glanced at the backpack that seemed to be very dense in content. "Arin isn't that nanya," Arindi snorted in annoyance as Anggara was acting pretentious about the contents of her head.

"Yes Arin wants to go to the room," said Arindi then departed from his seat. "So you want breakfast there's porridge on the table."

"Porridge? Since when do you like porridge? Are your teeth strong enough for food?" ask Anggara again.

"Since today!" arindi said firmly. He started to get upset and rushed to the dining table. He wanted to take the medicine package that was there before his brother saw. "It can be a long matter if you see this brother, fortunately I want to," Arindi's mind.

"Gue wants dumpling noodles!!!" anggara shouted as Arindi was about to open the door of her room.

"Buy it yourself..," answered Arindi half-shouting. Then he went into the room and closed the door.

Arindi threw her body on her bed. He's very tired. The dealings with Tristan are still unfinished now there's more to take care of.

Arindi opened her phone, checking the notification bar. None from Tristan. He wanted to ask the man but he was too scared to even send him a chat message. Arindi turned off the screen of her phone and threw angrily at her side.

Soon the phone sounded. Arindi quickly searched for the source of the sound. The phone is already on the floor. While throwing it, the phone slid slowly from the top of the bedcover dangling towards the floor.

With great difficulty Arindi crawled to reach her phone. He was happy because Tristan finally contacted him, that's what Arindi thought.

But after reading the name of the caller on his phone screen that read 'Big brother Akhlak-less' Arindi was very upset. He also refused the call.

Feeling rejected, Anggara continued to make phone calls to his sister until Arindi gave up and picked up her call.

"Arghhh brother rese... Why did he have to come today" said Arindi half-cried.

"Why again?" arindi said she was very upset when she spoke to Anggara over the phone.

"Lo ga college? Stupid huh?" anggara Gorge.

"I didn't go to college today!"

"Good," Anggara said with a happy grin. "Buy me dumpling noodles. Inget dumplings in fried do not be too crisp. Lots of vegetables!"

"Buy yourself!" arindi then.

"Gue the plan is just to hitch a ride in the place of lo two days doang. Yep... If the attitude of lo gini to the most handsome brother in this world, brother will be wanted for a long time here. Gapapa, right?" Anggara began to threaten Arindi. Anggara held her laugh on the phone. He could imagine his sister's upset face at this moment.

Arindi knows very well Anggara's stubbornness. If his request is not obeyed, he will continue to harass Arindi until his request is granted.

"OK!" arindi answered briefly and then decided on her call.

Arindi threw her body back on the bed. He took a pillow and covered it in his face. "Sister reseeeeeeee...." Arindi exasperated her frustration. His screams were muffled because of the pillow.
