Carissa opened her eyes slowly, she looked at the ceiling of the room that was unfamiliar to her. He firmly sits himself to find Riko sitting on the sofa not far from him.

Riko sat up with one leg raised while her hands were crossed to her chest. His eyes looked straight at Carissa who had just realized that she was in a place that did not know where.

"Ko, where is this ? not that we already want to get to Mother's house huh ? why am I here ? what's going on ?" There were so many questions in his head that he threw at Riko who had just been silently staring at him.

Riko smiled then got up from her seat walking closer to Carissa. " We're in my apartment".

"Ko, to be honest with me, was that drink you ?". Now Carissa remembers the last time she wanted to buy a drink but Riko gave her the drinking water that was available in her car then she felt very sleepy and she did not remember anything else because she fell asleep.

"I thought if I expressed my feelings the same way you would think about it again or even if you would even accept me out of return, many times I have asked you to believe with my earnestness but you broke my heart, making me even more devastated that you chose to return with the man the son of a murderer ". Very calmly Riko said that to Carissa who was still faithfully silent in her place.

"Killer ?". Carissa's forehead shriveled not understanding.

"Bram, Bram Prasetyo is the murderer of my Papa, he separates his wife and children from her husband, he makes a child born in a state of orphans, yes in the absence of a father figure. With the heart he hit my Papa in front of Mama's eyes until he lost his life. Mama always imagined the shadow of that incident, for years Mama struggled alone to treat his wounds until the last he did not. isa again held his tightness when he saw Bram when it ate him Mama I brought to the hospital, Mama I took him to the hospital, I couldn't keep her twenty-four hours until Mama told me everything. But what, what did Bram do after that ? he left his responsibilities, he ran away from town B never once he saw my Mama".

"Co". Lirih Carissa

"You know, I want you so much but you always reject me, don't you think I'm tired ? so Riss even I'm uncomfortable with my own attitude, feeling stupid chasing something that I can't possibly get, I'm sick of everything". Riko raised her voice making Carissa a little scared.

"Don't tell me about the accident, said Carissa cut off.

"Yup, that's right, I was the one who hit him, I wanted him to feel what my Papa felt, I wanted his wife to feel what Mama felt, I wanted her son to feel what I felt, I wanted her to feel what I felt, but shit, shit and shit he survived. But I won't be silent after this I'll do the same to him until he's actually in the second place of my parents".

"Ko, you're outrageous, you're not the Riko I know". Sahut Carissa felt afraid of Riko who was currently before her.

"Riss, if I can't get you, that guy can't get you either, that's fair enough right.?".

"What do you mean Ko?, stop there do not approach ". Pinta Carissa who immediately went from there, he ran towards the door but unfortunately the door was locked.

"Riss, let me have you for a while only for a moment I promise after that I'll let you go" said Riko

"Ko, stop there don't be crazy you ". cried Carissa frightened to see Riko eroding the distance.

Carissa ran to the other side but Riko quickly caught her and carried her up to the bed, with Riko's heart pulling Carissa's shirt with one hand while the other held Carissa's two hands.

Carissa pleaded, Carissa cried but Riko did not budge, she tried to touch the face of Carissa who actively moved her body in order to escape Riko's confinement.
