CHAPTER 7

-Maybe love is your thing but not mine. Love for me is you-

***

Raisa descended the stairs deftly to the kitchen. Looking at the memo in front of the refrigerator from his mother who accompanied my father to overseas meetings. Even though it's a holiday, they have a hard time getting together.

"Brother, where are you ?!" shouted Raisa looking all over the house. Usually, if not in the room, it must be in the backyard of the house, in the small field where Fairuz practiced his karate. Raisa opened the back door, walked unsteadily carrying lots of food.

Raisa always teased Fairuz when he saw him practice. He was about to throw peanuts from the top of the tree house and now he was trying to get past the small fence Fairuz had deliberately made so that just not just anyone could enter.

"Ouch!" A long snort of bazz sounded in Raisa's ears when she had successfully stepped on the ground. A grimace sounded back slowly Raisa passed through the mango tree to see the owner of the voice, who of course didn't come from Fairuz because she really recognized her brother's hoarse voice.

"Yes-yes, bang, already ah!"

Raisa gasped to see Fairuz twisting Yuda's hand back. He has not had time to think on what basis Yuda came to his house, considering that last night Fairuz had forbidden him to have anything to do with Raisa and now.

"Why, I'm up yet." Fairuz let go of Yuda when he saw Raisa who stood confused with snacks in a hug.

"Thanks, you know your brother is thirsty," said Fairuz, taking a drink bottle and then wiping his sweat.

"Hi!" Yuda greeted Raisa who was still silent with a face full of questions.

"Greeted by my girlfriend, why don't you just shut up. Okay, brother go in first. Be careful not to mess around!" said Fairuz to Yuda who nodded back.

Raisa only realized when Fairuz had disappeared from them. She turned to face Yuda who was holding her face from the bruises last night.

"For me?" Yuda pointed to the drink in Raisa's hand which tightened the mineral bottle even more as if he was afraid someone would take hers.

"You are stingy," laughed Yuda, patting the big rock to sit down, "come on, sit down here!"

Raisa ignored him, walked about to turn back into the house.

"Wait!" Yuda intercepted his hand and pulled slowly to sit next to Yuda.

"What are you doing?" Raisa let go of Yuda's grip by jerking, "what are you doing here?" he asked bitchy, laughter escaped from Yuda's mouth again.

"It's strange, yes, it's true that your brother said that you are shy but fierce," Yuda took it forcibly and then took a sip because he was very thirsty.

"Sorry, your brother didn't give me a drink. Thanks," Yuda handed back the remaining half bottle. "You can see that I'm fine now. Thanks for asking about me."

Raisa frowned. "What do you mean? Asking you when?"

Yuda's turn to l**k his eyebrows confused, "Ah, you are still shy. It's okay to short the SMS, but the point is you're worried," explained Yuda, making Raisa even more confused.

"Wait," Raisa stood up after putting down all the snacks, plans for breakfast just disappeared when her mood changed to find Yuda at her house unexpectedly. It was true last night he was worried about Yuda's condition but didn't send him a message.

"I didn't send anything to you." Raisa thought for a moment remembering where her cellphone was, which was apparently still not removed for charging.

"Ah, it must be brother last night. Brother!" Raisa immediately ran to her house, leaving Yuda who smiled amusedly seeing Raisa's childish behavior, in contrast to her honesty.

Raisa pulled Fairuz's body who was looking for something in the ice cooler.

"Why bang, the cellphone is sounding?" Raisa asked putting a first aid kit beside Fairuz to treat it.

"No, it's already dead, press it first!" replied Fairuz. Raisa took her cellphone to be charged in the room then returned to the living room without knowing a smile etched on Fairuz's lips as he climbed the stairs.

"Brother, why are you sending messages to Yuda? Then why did he come here instead of telling me last night not to approach Raisa anymore? Are you not afraid of thugs like him entering the house? . Is not it?" Fairuz pulling a chair still chuckling with Raisa's attitude pacing back and forth at the dining table.

"Aww!" Raisa grimaced when her forehead hit someone's body. He looked up to find Yuda who was smiling at him.

"Handsome like a thug, evil you ah!" Yuda pinched Raisa's nose and then pulled a chair to receive the water from Fairuz.

"Why are you still here?"

"It's not good to expel a guest, my brother," said Fairus, stopping Raisa from pulling Yuda to his feet.

"Sorry," he said softly releasing his hand. "I didn't send it, you need to know," he continued looking at Fairuz.

"Yes-yes, brother admitted guilt. But he did not come here because of you, right?" Yuda nodded confirming Fairuz statement.

"Yes, it's better for you to chat first, I want to take a shower to pick up Ms. Clara, she said she had arrived at the airport. Indeed, your prospective sister-in-law is hard to guess. Be careful not to be heartbroken," Cerocos Fairuz left the kitchen leaving the two of them.

"You don't want to offer me anything, I'm so hungry. In the morning you come to your house, you know, I'm even invited to practice karate," said Yuda stroking his growling stomach.

"Answer me, don't change the conversation!" Raisa pulled a chair opposite Yuda.

"Why are you here?"

"I told you to meet you, so you don't worry about my condition."

"Ouch, why now use me-you anyway. Quick answer!"

"We lovers deserve to call me-you, your age, there is no sweetness like that. Eh, if you want love you can also make it more romantic." Raisa ruffled her hair in frustration, who knows what prayers had been said so that a man like Yuda appeared.

"Answer me!" Raisa said, again making a chuckle from Yuda's mouth.

"I already answered."

"Then why did you let you come in! Didn't you say— ''

"Yes, as a brother who looks after his younger brother, I can understand that he does that. Luckily I am not up to the threat. I came here to fight for our love, and your brother finally agreed that I could still be your boyfriend." Raisa silently stared flatly at Yuda who had a happy face, it was obvious that it was made up.

"Where did you get my home address?"

"It's light, the map is there," said Yuda winking.

Raisa snorted annoyed then got up to open the drawer to take bread to serve Yuda without saying anything even though Yuda tried to talk to him. Raisa took a pen and wrote on a yellow memo then handed it to Yuda.

-Eat and don't have to say much. Just leave the dishes in the sink.

Raisa came out of the kitchen to her room, ignoring Yuda's screams who told her to change clothes because they were going for a walk in a moment.
