I greeted bright sunny afternoon with my sister in front of the house. My name is Reina Izumani, a name that may be strange to your ears.
And my brother named Allan Wikase, he is a bit far from me maybe 5 years difference. Even now, I am 17 years old, if my sister is 11 years old.
"Brother?! ... How come, when the morning sun appears from the east and sets in the west?! ...". said my sister suddenly as we relaxed in front of eating snacks.
"For you, is the power of God Allan ?!" I said while chewing food. Allan just nodded in understanding. We deliberately spend time here because indeed we often enjoy beautiful afternoons even though we are only at home to relax and eat snacks.
Suddenly someone turned to our house on his matic motorbike, I think he's my best friend.
"Reina ...". the girl took off her helmet and waved at me. He is really my best friend whose name is Kuroyukhime. He is the hitziest and sexiest boy in my school, most of my school calls him the prima donna even though he has to compete with the next class named Saori Maakashima, his rival is no less beautiful than Kuro.
They are competing for the heart of Takumi Usui, the first coolest boy in our school and also the basketball captain and student council president at our school.
"What do you want here? ...". I said with his hands on his hips.
"I think it's just a day, sis. Khime didn't meet brother, it feels like sis. Khime miss you brother ?! ".
Allan said casually. "Are you a child .., don't follow adults ?!". Kuro said to Allan, while sticking out his tongue in mockery.
"Allan you quickly take a shower ?!". I said ordering my sister.
"Okay, sis?!". Allan said and walked into the house. "What is wrong?…". I said, sitting at my place followed by Kuro.
"How about tonight we go to the night market, refreshing a bit?! ...". Kuro said begging to say yes to him. "Looks like something, you don't usually like this right? ...". I said questioningly making Kuro smile shyly.
"Are you crazy?"
"Yes .., Reina?! ...". Kuro said pinching my arm. "Ouch, oh it hurts you know .., how not crazy are you smiling yourself?!". I said stroking the arm that was hit by Kuro's cubit. "How?!…". Kuro said.
"Yes". "Thanks Reina you want to come". Kuro will hug ... "Eessstt .., but you have to pick me up first ?!". I said before he hugged me tightly. Like usual until I can't even breath he ever.
We talked for a long time until finally Kuro came home and it was my turn to take a shower and get ready to be invited by Kuro at the night market. Lots of people here tonight, at the night market for sure. I lost Kuro who had permission from me to buy sweet cotton. But I followed him,
he was gone, I asked the seller he said there was no girl my age bought sweet cotton at his shop. Jeez !!… Kuro was always like this if he wanted to.
I kept looking until I could find it accidentally I hit someone and I almost fell but as fast as lightning someone who hit me immediately grabbed my shoulder, to prevent me from falling.
I looked up and I found Oreki HoutaRou who is usually called Hyouka. He is also a friend of Takumi Usui, the student council representative at our school.
He is also the coolest and smartest guy in our school, a lot of differences between him and Takumi. I'm not very familiar with him, I always ignore him because Asuka likes him, Asuka is my classmate too.
"Who are you here with? ... So why are you confused about finding someone? ..." he said. "What business with you?! ...". I said ignorantly. He is just smiling, actually his smile is cute.
"Did you see Kuro or not?! ...". I said a little embarrassed. "Oh Kuro your best friend ?!". His words made me nod and smile broadly. "Yes .., I see, he's there chatting with Takumi, let me go there! ...". he said.
"No need .., thank you for telling me, I can find him myself!". I said and barked away. Hyouka stood up smiling.
'Why is Reina so beautiful in my eyes'. Hyouka said in her heart. After Reina left before him. Before long I saw Kuro's back in front of Takumi.
When I'm going there, a bunch of obscure boys in front of me blocking my way.
They laugh happily some people carry the liquor in their hands. Because the music was so loud here I couldn't clearly hear what they were saying. Even a little I understand what they want.
I stepped back a few times to get away from them, I was intercepted by Hyouka from behind, she smiled at me and nodded her head while turning her back and protecting me.
I didn't hear anything they were saying, until finally a group of 4 boys attacked Hyouka who was alone. I don't want to see me cover my eyes with my hands too
"Reina?!… ”. said Hyouka. I saw that 4 drunken boys had all fallen and were definitely battered, I saw Hyouka with a very different look, it's hard for me to understand. On his left temple he was bleeding. "Your temples .."
"It's okay, I'm a man, really" like this it hurts! ". He said casually. "No .., let's go to the shop with Kuro, I'll treat you later!".
I feel so guilty. I walked first, followed by Hyouka behind me. I went in and immediately borrowed the medicine box at the shop. While Hyouka sat between Kuro and Takumi, they were very confused about why Hyouka's temples were bleeding. "What's wrong with Hyouka? ...".
asked Takumi. "You don't just ask Hyouka ?!". I said nonchalantly and looked away when Kuro wanted to ask for an answer. "He doesn't want to answer ?!". Said Takumi again.
"Okay .., that means it's a mystery to you ?!". I said. I saw them, ignoring me and Hyouka. Instead, they chatted with laughter. Whereas I have to treat Hyouka's injured temple, this is nothing,
this is my reward for her for saving me from the thugs earlier. So somehow I have to take responsibility for his temple. I know Hyouka looks at me all the time, actually I'm really nervous to be close to her like this. This is forced.
"Don't look at me like that, embarrassed to know Kuro and Takumi's eyes!". I said, lowering my head, while still cleaning Hyouka's temples. Hyouka looked at Kuro and Takumi for a while. "No ... they're busy by themselves, there's no time for them to see us!".
He said. I finished treating his temple, and I returned the medicine box while inviting Kuro to go home. Actually when I pulled Kuro out and was going home. All the way he was just babbling, I pretended I didn't hear him so I didn't get into a fight later.
I was forced to take a ride on Kuro even though he was the one with the motorbike. It was difficult for me to take the motorbike keys in his bag because Kuro was angry. Not long after, we arrived at my house. I immediately went in leaving Kuro who was lying on his motorcycle.
My sister greeted me with a smile, my sister hasn't slept because mom hasn't come home. In this simple house I live three times with my mother, sister, and myself. For my father to work in Malaysia, even though like that the mother still works too.
Time flies very quickly, after a week of events at the night market. This morning as usual Kuro and I sat in front of the class looking at the basketball court.
"Hey guys ...., arigatogozaimasu yes for you Reina! .., because of you I have opened my heart to Chan Kirito". Asuka said happily and sat next to Kuro. "You going out with Kirito? ...". Kuro said curiously. Asuka nodded in agreement.
so why are you thanking me?… ”. I said, surprised. "Because you have opened my eyes to love other people, if I keep hoping that Hyouka, who never loved me, will hurt even more ..., and it seems like Hyouka likes you ?!".
Asuka said. "What…? no ?! ”. I said laughing softly. "Yes Reina .., believe me". Asuka said seriously "How do you know? ..."
I said. “A week ago when you were at the night market, you were bullied by thugs, right, at that time I accidentally saw you when I was talking to Hyouka, I told Hyouka that you were threatened. Hyouka went straight to you and attacked the thug, right, 2 days passed when it was raining heavily yesterday,
you can't go home while Kuro was home with Takumi, you waited for the rain to stop on the school fence, at that time Hyouka and I went to the student council room,
Hyouka see you and go straight to you and invite you home together right? ". He said at length, remembering the past days. "It's all true .., you're not jealous ?!". I said.
"I was jealous and jealous of you, but when Kirito came and filled my empty heart, I hope you will go out with Hyouka, just like Kuro and Takumi".
Asuka said. "You going out with Takumi ?!". I said. "You don't know Reina?! .., even though you are her best friend ...".
said Asuka. "I didn't tell you because Takumi wanted to match you with Hyouka!". Kuro assured me. "Yes, it's okay .., but tell Takumi not to be matchmaking. It's not funny you know ...".
I said threatening Kuro, while he just nodded in affirming my words
"Asuka see .., there's Kirito, until there he sees you! ”. Kuro said, pushing Asuka. I saw Asuka just smiling shyly, stood up and walked towards Kirito greeted with Kirito's arms stretched out and smiled at Asuka.
Before long, the bell rang for 4 hours and the trip went very smoothly and there were no problems. The night continued perfectly, it just so happened that my sister really wanted to go to the night market with me so I had to obey her words.
"Little brother, don't be far away to play because it's already late, and it's busy, don't bother you ok ?!".
I said, suddenly my cellphone rang I picked up and turned my back on my sister. It turned out that the one calling Kuro was asking about homework. This is his smart habit, I soon finished talking to him. "Your sister wants ...".
I was surprised because my sister was not behind me. "Sister .. where are you? ... Where are you Allan? ”.
I ran and cried, I tried to ask the visitors here. Al results, they did not see my brother even though I showed them Allan's photo.
"Where are you Allan? ...". I muttered as I sat on the grass I didn't care that people saw me like a weirdo because I was the one crying.
