Kai violently jerks at Kevin's office door, causing the man he calls his father to flinch in shock. Kai's face flushed with hardened jaws, expressing a great deal of resentment towards the man sitting with some documents on his desk.
"Where are your manners!" Snapped Kevin as Kai stood in front of his desk.
Without saying much, Kai throws a necklace with crystal stones on Kevin's desk until his father turns away in shock.
"Alisa also has this necklace, right?" Kai asked loudly to endure the pain in his heart. "The exact same canyon as Papa's!"
"You open your desk, papa?"
"You don't open it, I won't know about this necklace!" Reply with the whirring of the hunting breath. "So really, Alisa also has a necklace like this!"
"Where are you from?"
"Tlck!" Kai growled, grabbing his coarse hair. "Suck!"
"Emperor watch your words!" Kevin suddenly stood up, his anger began to run out of control when he heard the swearing of the child. "Papa asked, do you know where Alisa's got this necklace?"
"So really?" Kai laughed sarcastically at Kevin.
The old man just fell silent, and the father's inertia was able to make Kai deduce everything. He was angry, rubbing his face rough.
"All right, pah?" Then her laughter sounded so sweet. Eyes glazed.
Kevin approaches her, pulling both of Kai's shoulders. "Say you know where you're from?"
Kai screeched, grinning with a broken heart. "I know everything! Even I know where papa's son is now."
Kevin was really surprised. His eyes widened perfectly as if in disbelief.
"Kai.. tell me where the kid is?"
"Children Scholarship at the grandfather's foundation. Her name is Krystal." Kai said along with his shattered world.

"Dogs!" Ringis Chandra touching wounds on her face. "My face is in pain!"
"Just hit by that doang already moaning! You fucking!" Sean was smoking his cigarette.
"Tomorrow if you fight not in front of me! So apes!" Chandra examines her face with glass hape. "I swear, my handsome fades!"
Kai himself was just busy with his thoughts while smoking a cigarette tucked in his fingers.
A few hours after the hit, the three of them returned to Kai's apartment with battered faces. Their school uniforms were even dirty and out of shape. Luckily, no one saw them fighting.
"So you know what?" Sean looked at Kai who was cool exhaling cigarette smoke from his nose and also his mouth. The guy nodded slowly in return.
"Gue can't imagine what it's like to be Krystal right now." Sambar Chandras. "Lo's late, nyet. You shouldn't have hurt him like that either!"
Kai was still flinching with one cigarette that stayed that little. His mind floated and made the wound on his heart grow bigger.
"Krystal ancur badly earlier. I'm aja nih, who arguably not a good guy, can't bear to see him like that." Chandra.
Kai's heart was throbbing more and more pain. Today he's managed to be the dickest guy to Krystal. Maybe worse than before. He broke the girl's smile.
"Gue's curious." Sean exclaimed suddenly which made Kai stare at him. "Actually that makes you angry with Krystal because she's a child cheating lo bokap, or because you realize that you are the same Krystal is adek-kak?"
Kai suddenly stiffened. Until this moment he still did not understand, what reality made him this angry. In retrospect, Krystal was not the right person for her to make as her tempering place, but on the other hand, Kai also felt hatred when he saw Krystal's face.
"Lo's sure he's your boy?" Ask Sean again.
Kai closed his eyes, then placed his back on the back of the chair. The guy still didn't open his voice. Hope his friends understand what he wants to say in silence.
"Gue also thought that, when you are the same age Krystal, means bokap lo cheating fitting-"
"Chan!" Reprove Sean.
Chandra grimacing. "Okay. sorry-sorry."
Kai opened his eyes, exhaling smoke billowing from his last cigarette. He held his body up, staring at Sean.
"Lo seriously the same as you say?" Kai's first sentence after they reached the balcony of his apartment.
"Which one?" Sean asked pretending not to know.
"***!" Kai screeched.
Sean chuckles and throws away his last cigarette. "It's been a long time, I don't want to talk about it."
"Cupu lo! Problems like gini lo umpetin from us!" Chandra said as she threw her sweat towel over Sean's face.
"*** goat, you're your ex, ****!" Sean was annoyed by throwing the towel back.
"Gue can you ask me for help?" Said Kai in a weak tone, and was able to attract the attention of his two friends.
"It looks like my punch is too fast, this boy since when did it become that nonsense?" Chandra Seru.
"Chan, I'm bosen temenan ama lo!" Sean shouts Chandra's head before asking Kai. "What?"
"Jagain Krystal's. You're the only person I trust right now."
"What do you mean?" Ask Sean.
"Maybe I'll hurt him more than today." Kai took his breath, "it's just you, the one who can prevent that from happening."
"Kai-" said Sean restrained.
"You know who the kid he's looking for, and he'll soon be bringing Krystal home to live with him."
Every sentence that came out of his lips, Kai could only catch his breath holding back the tightness that was squeezing his heart.
"The more times I see him, the more often I hurt him." Kai looked at Sean. "Yan, because I know you have the same feelings as Krystal, so you're the only one I can help."
"Krystal needs lo." Sean's Law.
Kai shook his head weakly. "He'll be more excited if he sees me."
Sean and Chandra are only able to fall silent to support his best friend's decision.
Friendship established since Junior High made them understand the nature of each. Seeing Kai being close to a woman like Krystal was certainly rare for them, but it was as if fate was actually cursing the devil, Sean and Chandra never thought if the woman who was able to make his best friend changed, was destined only to be his sister.
"Gue will help you as much as I can." Sean replied while patting Kai slowly on the shoulder.

Never once in her life did Krystal feel as uninspired as she is today. Her footsteps were heavy, her heart might have been blown to pieces, and her eyes were all puffy from crying last night.
In fact, last night Krystal was still faithfully waiting for Kai to come home. Still hope if all the events that happened to him yesterday is just a dream.
Why would Kai hurt that girl on her birthday?
"Krys, what are you going to eat?" Luna asked as they were in the cafeteria.
"Woi.." jolted Luna who felt she had not received any response from the girl. "What do you want to eat?" As Krystal began to look away and look at him.
"I'm not a laper."
"Lo has to eat." Luna raised her palm as soon as Krystal would say something. "Don't argue with me this time. You just wait here, I don't buy somay first."
Then Luna stepped out leaving Krystal at the table.
Shortly after Luna left, three girls came to her class yesterday with a bottle of water in hand.
Krystal felt like this was going to end badly.
Having failed to bully Krystal yesterday in class, the three girls will return their frustration today. Armed with a bottle of mineral water, Jesslyn flushed Krystal from the tip of her head to wet her entire shirt.
Krystal was shocked. The girl reflexively stood up while shaking off the water falling from her hair.
All the students in the cafeteria made it a spectacle.
"Rasain lo cupu!" Jesslyn said mockingly. "Now Kai won't help you! It was thrown out like trash!"
Hearing Kai's name is said to make Krystal's heart rustle in pain. He had already been banished, the memories of yesterday seemed to be spinning back in his head.
"Oh yes, I said. From the beginning you should not have spiciness, Kai never want to be the same lo! You're just a toy! Don't forget dong lo!"
Krystal wanted to cry, her chest squeezed on hearing all that.
Jesslyn took a step forward, pulling Krystal's coarse hair until the girl grimaced in pain, then she whispered softly. "Don't make a fad because Airin helped you! Tuh chick also the same, both dumped Kai. So you guys are a good fit!"
Then a powerful jolt pushed Krystal to the floor and caused her knee to bleed. It hurt, but not as much as his heart.
Krystal grimaced in silence. She is unable to defend herself at all, all Jesslyn's words are true, Kai threw her away just like dad.
Some of the students who were there started recording the incident using their e-cigarettes.
Krystal was still trying to look strong, even though in her heart it was all broken. He tried to stand up, but all was difficult because his body shook violently withstanding the crying and wounds on his knee that felt sore.
"What the hell!" A loud shout from behind Krystal's back made the girl turn her head. He was shocked as his heart beat rapidly.
In the doorway of the cafeteria were Kai, Sean, and Chandra standing staring at him. But not Kai who just shouted but Sean. The man immediately approached Krystal, who was sitting on the floor, followed by Chandra to help Krystal stand up.
"Lo's okay?" Ask Sean.
Krystal shook her head with a smile on her face.
"Three girls are dead, right?" Shouted Chandra annoyed and made the three girls shudder in horror. "Mending you get out of here before I throw a bench!"
Suddenly they shuffled back and out of the canteen in a hasty step.
"Look at what you are!" Shouted Chandra again at all the disciples who were shrouding. "You want me to throw a bench!"
Instantly, all the students who were watching the incident dispersed quickly while whispering. Chandra growled in annoyance, with a stifling look at everyone.
Meanwhile, Luna who had just realized Krystal's state immediately approached the girl with a panicked face.
"Lo why? Oh my goodness, I just bought somay already this way, Krys." He hugged Krystal's shoulder.
"I'm fine, Lun. Just a small wound."
Krystal glanced at Kai who was also staring at her with a hardened face. Without Krystal knowing, Kai was desperately holding back his feelings for not hugging the girl.
Kai's emotions really peaked when he saw Krystal sitting on the floor in a wet shirt and bleeding knees. Kai swore that the three girls would get the right payback from him.
"In the UKS, your feet need to be treated." Luna's voice caused Krystal to shift her gaze.
"Huh?"
"Yes, you go to the UKS, Krys." Added Sean. "Can we walk? Want me to carry?"
Krystal chuckles, "love, Sean. I'm just a little gini, I can still walk."
"You can laugh again." Sean was a little upset.
Kai walked past them, and sat down at the usual place he often occupied. The guy looked straight at me as if indifferent to what happened with Krystal just now.
Krystal's heart ached as she looked back at Kai's cold attitude towards her. What mistake did he make until Kai treated him like that?
"Just a minute, Lun." Pinta Krystal as Luna takes her to UKS. "I have a need."
"Why what?"
"I'll talk to Kai for a second."
Luna snorted bitterly, "Duh.. The krys! Don't care if it's the devil."
"Woi! If you say." Chandra Protest.
Luna looked more and more challenging. "What's? I tell you what I'm talking about, you're the devil!"
"Lun.." sidelines Krystal.
Chandra was getting closer to Luna, as if challenging as well. "Lo doesn't know anything about Kai, he's so because"
"Chan!" Sean's reprimand was hard which made Chandra pouch her lips. The man sighed softly before looking back at Krystal. "Krys, justin Kai himself first. You just go to the UKS."
Krystal shakes. "No, Sean, I need to talk to Kai. I need to know the reason why Kai changed just like me."
"Krys, but-"
"I have to talk to Kai right now." Krystal said without listening to Sean.
The girl stepped towards Kai who was sitting and busy with her hape. Krystal's heart beats faster as she moves closer to Kai. Until finally, Krystal's body stopped right in front of the guy's desk.
Kai looked up when he realized there was someone standing in front of him. Just like Krystal, Kai's heart was pounding as well. He longed for that face, a face that was always smiling with twinkle, yet this time there was no longer that smile, of which there were only two round eyeballs that glazed over and reminisced.
"K-kai, can I talk to you for a minute."
"Gue is busy there's no time." Reply Kai relaxed while returning busy playing his hape.
"It's okay here, too."
"Lo budeg!" Snapped Kai with a hardened face that made Krystal snort. "Gue said he was busy!"
"B-but I-I.."
Kai stood up, jerking the table towards Krystal until the girl stepped back. "Lo know, I'm so sick of seeing your face! You should know enough to not be nongol in front of me!"
"Kerry.." Sean came holding onto Krystal's shoulder which started to shake. "Gue Anter to UKS only?"
"Kai.. You why the hell?" Krystal asked Kai without caring about Sean.
While in the back there Chandra held Luna back from interfering with the affairs of both of them.
"What am I wrong?" That clear liquid could no longer be held back by him.
Kai closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. No, he didn't want to make Krystal cry. Kai's only weakness is the girl's tears.
Please don't cry, baby.
"Gue hope you keep your promise not to show up in front of me again!" Kai stepped out past Krystal who was sculpting.
