“Heart, so you have steady choose what majors, hem?.” Andrew and Reno were back just before dinner.

Andrew turned to Fania who was sitting next to him because he did not hear the answer.

“Heart?.”

Andrew calls Fania once again and the rest of the family seems to notice Fania who looks like she is daydreaming.

Andrew rubbed Fania's head slowly, because Fania still did not respond to him. “Hei, Heart.”

“Ha?.” Andrew's hand rubs on Fania's head, waking her from the daydream. He looked at Andrew who seemed a little surprised to see him. “Why?.”

“What's the reason?.” Andrew asked back.

“I ga what – what.”

“There are problems on campus?.” Reno made a voice while asking Fania.

Fania shakes. “Ga is there, Sister. No problem what – what. My college was good - all right. Just placement major doang.”

“Then why do you daydream?.” Andrew asked again.

“Who's daydreaming anyway?.” Fania.

“So Andrew asked you what to try?.” Ara asked.

Fania looked at Andrew.

“Emang you have the same name as me?.”

“Eat first. We'll talk later.” Andrew said as he rubbed Fania's head. And Fania nodded obediently to start eating.

“Goodbye all” Said Fania who then bribed food into her mouth. While Andrew and Reno sat at each other without Fania noticing.

Ara also seemed to be watching Fania. ‘It looks like there's something Fania is hiding.’ The sensitive mind of Ara is monologuing.

***

Fania and Andrew were in their room.

The two sat together on the balcony of the room while the same – sipped a nicotine bar tucked between their fingers.

“Heart, you wanna tell me something? (Dear, is there anything you want to tell me? ).”

“About?.” Fania asked back to Andrew while looking at the husband who looked like he was looking at her a little intensely.

“Anything.” Andrew replied without turning his face to Fania.

“Why the hell?. Do you think I am?.” Said Fania who was a little uncomfortable in the eyes of Andrew who seemed to suspect him.

Andrew smiled faintly.

“Are you in trouble on campus?. Or did you make a mistake?.”

“What error does it mean?.”

“Entah. You're weird since yesterday.”

Said Andrew who kept looking at Fania.

“Your feelings are only times, D.”

“There’s something you didn't’t tell me (There's something you didn't tell me ).” Andrew took a sip of the nicotine stick, then looked back at Fania.

“Ga what's – what's it. You're the one who's too suspicious of me.”

Andrew put out his cigarette. Take a cigarette slowly from Fania's hand and then turn it off as well.

Fania faced her face right in front of her eyes.

“Heart, I can even tell easily if someone cheated me. I know someone is lying or hiding something from me. More you.” Andrew said as he cupped Fania's face. “Say, what's up, hem?.”

“Ga what's – what, D. Really deh.” Fania stood up while trying to be ordinary in front of Andrew.

Andrew took a breath. Looking in Fania's eye bead.

“I know you from top to toe (I know you from head to toe), Heart. As I recognize myself, both inside or outside (both outside and inside ). So I will know very easy, if these eyes are lying (So I'll know easily, if these eyes lie ).”

Gluey!. Fania was a little scared of Andrew speaking while looking at her a little sharply. ‘Aduh, really serem him if it's this way.’ Inner Fania monologued, but she also still turned her eyes and face to Andrew.

‘’Unfortunately, Reno got full support from your husband.’’

Fania recalled a piece of sentence from the woman who had been reprimanding her at the coffee shop toilet.

“But yes already, if you really do not want to share.” Said Andrew pulling his face a little away from Fania's face. “Maybe I don't mean too much to you, until there's still something you want to keep yourself.” Andrew stood up from his seat. Sounded to breathe.

“D.”

Fania grabbed the palm of Andrew who was already standing and was about to enter the room. He also stood a little behind Andrew.

“Hem?. I'm tired and sleepy. Just take your time (just enjoy your time ).”

Andrew's flat speech and without looking at Fania, made Fania's face turn moody. “I’m sorry (I'm sorry ).” Fania said slowly.

Andrew sighed slowly. It was heartless to have heard Fania's voice sounding sad like just now. Andrew turned his body and placed both of his hands over Fania's shoulders, while looking Fania's eyes in – deep.

“What is it, Heart? (What's up, honey? ). What is bothering you, hem?.” Ask Andrew gently.

Fania ventured to look back at Andrew who was waiting for an answer from her. “You.” Answer Fania. ‘And Brother Reno.’ The next sentence is spoken in the heart. Andrew raised his eyebrows, a little astonished.

“Me? (I? ).” Ask Andrew again and Fania nodded. “Why with me?. Was there a mistake I made on you without me noticing?.”

“Iya ..” Fania answered slowly.

“Come ( Here ).” Andrew took Fania and invited her to sit on the bed. “I did wrong what, hem?.” Said Andrew while tidying up Fania's hair child who is currently in the upper midget by Fania.

“I really feel, the end of this final – you are less attention to me.” Fania said slowly. ‘Sorry Nald. I'm still confused about what that girl told me.’ Inner Fania monologued, while her mouth uttered a little excuse to Andrew.

Andrew smiled.

“Why think like that, hem?.”

“Yes because the end of this – you seem to be very busy, until never anter pick me up college, rarely take me on the road. Sampe home if not check email, fun deh tuh nge gym yourself.”

Andrew smiled again. “Me and Reno are taking care of some important things, Heart.”

“More important than me?.”

“Of course not ( Yes ). Don't compare yourself to my work. You or the job has significance in its portion of – each.”

Andrew took Fania in a deck.

“If you think I'm looking for pleasure outside, you better get rid of that thought far – away. We have a deal, right?. For more open and more trusting?.”

Fania nodded and clasped Andrew's body back.

“I promise, after all the business that I and Reno are handling is done, we will spend more time together if that's what you want.”

“Appointment?.”

“Iya.”

“Appointment?.” Andrew asked now.

“Appointments.” Sahut Fania's.

“Who loves you? (Who loves you? ).” Andrew said.

“You (You ).” Sahut Fania no less friendly.

“Who loves me? (Who loves me? ).” Andrew said again

“Me (I ).” Fania answered Andrew's question.

“Then trust me ( Then trust me ).” Said Andrew who tightened with a friendly hug on Fania.

Ah, Author is a baper.

****

That afternoon Fania came back to the company. Andrew plus the handsome brother asked him to come.

Fania came with Andrew who was waiting for her in the lobby downstairs earlier. Take it to the Company section where Reno's special private floor and staff – staff of his choice.

“Hey, Little F, get in here.” Reno lets Fania in as Andrew takes Fania to the room that looks like the meeting room.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” Fania said hello. “Loh Fairy Godmother is here too?.” Fania said when she saw Ara there too.

“Wa’alaikumsalam.” Sahut Reno and Ara. Fania immediately approached the two and kissed the hand of the foster sister plus her foster sister-in-law.

“Hi, Brother Nino. Jeff” brother Sapa Fania on Nino and Jeff who are also in the room.

‘Ga is very consistent with Kajol. Sometimes call the Nino pake ‘Kak’. Sometimes engga.’ Inner Jeff monologue debating Fania who seems to like – likes his heart to call Nino. “Hi, Jol.”

“Hello, Miss Fania.” Nino is polite.

“Still stiff, this broom cake people.”

Fania's words were half murmured but were clearly heard by Andrew and the others. Making them finally chuckle to themselves hearing Fania's muttering that felt aimed at Nino.

Fania's eyes stopped a man she didn't recognize, but Fania felt like she had seen him somewhere.

“Little F, this is Uncle Keenan.”

Reno introduces a man who Fania is in his forties and looks handsome in a formal suit that the man is wearing. Fania stretched out her hand to shake.

The man called Uncle Keenan by Reno stood up and welcomed Fania's hand. “Nice to meet you, Fania (Good to meet you, Fania ).”

“Nice to meet you too, Sir (Good to meet you too, Mr ).”

“Uncle Keenan, my Dear ( Uncle Keenan, My dear ).”

“He was right, Heart. Just call him Uncle Keenan (He's right, honey. Just call him Uncle Keenan ). Come, sit here (Here, sit here ).”

Andrew supported the man called Uncle Keenan and asked Fania to sit down at the spot he was showing, right next to him.

“You men married in the Smith Family are indeed men – men who are lucky to have women – beautiful and charming women as your life partner.”

Uncle Keenan gave his intended praise to Reno and Andrew as well to Ara and Fania.

‘Gue thought real wong londo,’ Inner Fania monologue that did not expect that Uncle Keenan could speak Indonesian. Or is he like two super Js?.

“You are totally right, Uncle (You are absolutely right, Uncle ). We are very lucky men (We are indeed men – lucky men ).” Reno. Ara and Fania smiled.

Although Uncle Keenan felt very friendly, but Fania still felt a little awkward because it seemed like she had only met the man this time. Although his face was felt Familiar by Fania.

“Uncle Keenan came to you and Andrew's reception here, Little F. Forgot it?.”

Reno who realized Fania was a little awkward at this time told Fania a little info about Uncle Keenan. Others are good listeners.

“Sorry , Fania forgot Sir, uh Uncle. The guests are too many. Same dizzy I'm also reception time here.” Fania and the others chuckled at hearing that.

Nino who had only understood the standard Indonesian language was a little bit more already started to understand the words Fania who likes to mix Indonesian – mix it. With a note, Fania spoke normally ga repet.

“Little F, Uncle Keenan's Dad's best friend. One of these. He's a lawyer. Lawyers for our family, also sometimes asked for help in the Company.” Reno said to Fania and the others let her talk, including Fania who noticed her handsome brother.

Nino gives a map that seems to contain files – files on Reno and Fania also noticed it.

“And today also I asked Uncle Keenan for help to take care of something related to lo” Reno back talking.

“Connect with me?.” Fania was a little surprised.

“Iya Little F.” Sahut Reno's.

“Soal?.”

“Status lo.”

“My status?.” Fania becomes more and more clueless and turns to Andrew, who signals Fania to listen to Reno. “Means my status?.”

“Status lo, as my foster sister.” Reno's face began to look serious.

“Why is it Brother?. Any problem with that?.” Ask Fania who still failed to understand.

“Ada.” Sahut Reno and Fania frowned. “That's why I asked Uncle Keenan to come here so we could finish it.”

“Wait on, Brother, I don't really understand. You've thought I was your brother all along. His relationship with Uncle Keenan as a lawyer?.”

“Because I want to immediately certify your status as my sister legally.”

“Gue doesn't think it's necessary, brother. Our relationship as a sister is so, right?. Why is all the use of the event confirmed so anyway?.”

“Hust. I must legally approve.”

“Why?. Is there something you are afraid of?.”

“Why ask with such a view and tone of voice to me?.” Reno seemed to catch something from Fania's eyes on her as the question was thrown from Fania's mouth.

“Only confirm, Brother.” Fania was flat while looking fixedly at Reno from where she was now.

“Soal?.” Reno asks her favorite foster sister, which implies that Fania is suspecting her.

“Soal lo who used me to usurp the rights of others.”
