Rachel's eyes were still brightly lit looking at the ceiling of her room, many times she tried to close her eyes but she did not fall asleep.
His smile expanded with width considering every detail of the surprise that Mahavir gave. He was unceasingly touching her lips,
"Is this what kissing feels like???"
Rachel squirms into her blanket. Feeling embarrassed and happy. It is like a teenager who is a teenager.
"How do I meet him tomorrow?"
"How should I behave with him?"
"No.no...I'm not ready to see her face....!!!"
"What happened to me?"
"Why is my heart still beating?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhh.... I can go crazy!!!!"
"Did I really like it?"
"Have I fallen for him?"
"Is he really my soul mate?"
"rachel........ You seem to be crazy...!!!"
Throughout the night Rachel rummaged alone until finally falling asleep at 02:00 in the morning. The sweet memories he had just experienced brought him deep into the beautiful dreamland.
Vaguely in the cradle of his dream he felt a warm touch of someone on his cheek, rubbing and stroking his hair, feeling a peaceful kiss on his forehead.
Touch after touch felt so soft, warm and soothing to her heart,
"Don't go......" Lirih Rachel as if she did not want the touch that felt so real away.
"I'll just go for a minute, wait for me, I'll be back soon."
And that touch slowly disappeared along with the distant cradle of dreamland.

A dazzling glint of sunshine pierced through Rachel's window pane, bouncing in all directions until it hit her face
beautiful who still sleeps with her breath.
At 10 am, Rachel just got out of her contest. She patted her face to relieve her palpitations before stepping her feet. His face was still blushing and blushing shyly, awkwardly going to meet someone.
Rachel paused for a moment in front of the guest room door, wanting to try peeking into the room but she did not.
"Surely he's downstairs...." Think Rachel.
The woman hummed cheerfully inwardly extending her legs down to the bottom floor.
In the basement there are only Bryan, mommy and Bik Sumi.
"Sleeping princess just woke up" Bryan teases his new sister showing him the trunk of her nose.
"Shut up" Maki Rachel is upset while throwing seat cushions at Bryan who is busy playing his phone on the family room couch.
Rachel went around, her eyes scattering through every room in the mansion but she could not find the figure she was looking for. He went out into the courtyard of the house and did not find Mahavir's black Porsche.
"Oh... Maybe he's out for a second..." Think Rachel.
Finally he returned to the family room.
"Daddy where's mom?" rachel asked her to make small talk to her mommy who was arranging flowers, hoping that her mommy would understand the direction of her conversation. She herself was still too proud to ask her husband.
"Daddy has a meeting with the Rectors, bring your wedding invitations." Mrs Amitha answered as she was.
Rachel nodded slowly, dissatisfied with her mommy's short answer.
Rachel lazily threw her body onto the sofa where Bryan sat until his legs hit his sister's thighs, while his gaze could not be separated from the screen of his cellphone.
"What the hell, brother, sitting here, that side is empty!" Bryan looked up and his head pointed at the sofa next door.
"Ah, bring it up, move there!" Bump Rachel while kicking Bryan's ass trying to get him to move places.
"Ih, the first guy here, it's pewe too." Bryan held on to his position, while Rachel's leg movements became more and more so.
Ms. Amitha shook her head and coded Bryan to budge.
"That's what... Not that time either." Bryan eventually relented and moved to the next sofa.
Rachel lay on the sofa with a blank look while staring at the large clock that was beside the ornamental shelf.
"Sir... Tikkkp.. Takk.... Tikkkp....Nock"
Rachel's eyes followed the movement of the rotating clockwork. Second by second, minute by minute, until....
"OAHHHHH!!!!" Shouted Rachel involuntarily to make Bryan and his mommy surprised instead of playing.
"Mom..she's crazy." Whisper Bryan to his mommy.
Ms. Amitha seemed to understand the turmoil of her daughter's heart to slowly give code to Bryan to get away from the place.
Until lunchtime, Rachel was still agitated. At the dinner table there are only three of them, Rachel, Bryan and Ms.Amitha.
There was nothing she could get from her mommy and her sister. He himself still felt very proud to ask. Occasionally, his eyes glanced at the usual chair Mahavir occupied and saw the look of his face again scowling annoyed. Ms. Amitha and Bryan just looked at each other to see the gurgle of the woman.
As usual the food was only eaten a little, moreover at this moment there was a hint of disappointment in his heart. After eating, Rachel shut herself in the room.
In the room, he slammed his body back into the bed staring at his cell phone.
"Phone... No. gabe... Telephones... No. gabe... Telephones.. No. gabe... Phone's....."
"Ahhhhh.... Call ajalah..."
Finally Rachel threw away her prestige and then pressed Mahavir's number on her phone,
Taittt.......
"The number you are calling is not active or out of coverage area, please try again in a few minutes...."
"Sir..."
His phone he threw in any direction. "You're where the hell!!"
Rachel is upset.
As of late afternoon there was no word from Mahavir. Her frustration again peaked into the crown, she grabbed her phone and then blocked her husband's number. After that he changed his clothes with a tee shirt and sports leggings, wore sports shoes and walked out of the room to Bryan's room.
"Main basketball yuk!" Take Rachel.
Bryan received his brother's invitation, they rushed to the basketball court in the yard next to the mansion. While walking through the trunk Rachel was surprised to see a white Porsche Boxster parked neatly.
"Whose car is this?" ask Rachel
Bryan was amazed, in his eyes his brother was from head to toe.
"Sists...Are you okay?"
Rachel still did not budge, staring at the wonder of the car in front of her.
"Sister amnesia??? Didn't you come home last night in this car??
Bryan took a deep breath then patted his eel,
"Bahhh... Actually what my sister-in-law does, every time she comes home from the street with her sister back and forth so bego like this!!" Bryan Excited.
Rachel did not respond, her brain again remembered the incident when she came home last night.
There is no memory of the car, then he remembers the previous events starting from the moment he left the Rooftop Hotel Calister.
The night after leaving the Rooftop, while in the elevator to go down to the bottom floor, Rachel was awkward with Mahavir, her feelings seemed to explode so pounding, he was very excited, until when his hand came into contact with Mahavir's hand there was instantaneous static energy that occurred and flowed into the bodies of the two of them. Without knowing who started first they re-enacted the romantic scene, the man repeated a kiss, even longer than the kiss that occurred in Rooftop.
"Would we stay over?" mahavir asked at that time on the sidelines of their kisses.
And those were the last words Rachel heard from Mahavir's mouth. Because after that question Rachel petrified and mute, silent a thousand languages. Finally they fell back silent to each other, drowning with their own thoughts.
Rachel was too lulled by the atmosphere to forget the circumstances around. He was unaware of the vehicle he was riding in.
As soon as she got home she also immediately ran into her room without turning back at all to her husband.
Recalling that Rachel's face turned red again, unconsciously both her hands moved to smother her own mouth.
"Is he angry because I refused??"
"Sister.... Kakkos...." Call Bryan, try to resuscitate the silent and pensive Rachel.
"Ahhhhh... Lyeah!! I forgot, I got on this last night.. Hehe.. Hehe..." Rachel chuckled in shame.
Bryan shook his head again, stepping back towards the basketball court. Rachel followed with her high curiosity
"If the car is there, keep him out riding what?? Is it possible to join daddy....???"
"Ah... Nevermind!! Maybe I'll be home soon." Rachel's girl in my heart.
They also played basketball like before, when Rachel was still SMU and Bryan was in elementary school. The age of those who are 10 years adrift with a different posture makes Bryan used to always lose to his brother.
"This time brother won't be able to beat me" Bryan exclaimed with his pedal, then dribbled the ball
and led him to the ring trying to pass Rachel who was ready to block him.
"not that easy" Rachel nimbly grabs the ball as Bryan is about to jump on Shoot. Then the ball he dribbled towards the ring and the first Shoot of Rachel was right on target.
"It was also a very proud shoot. I've been training and playing with Vir's brother so it's impossible to lose." Said Bryan floundering, running to grab the ball and dribbling towards the ring.
"Virr?? Mahavir means??" Rachel tries to stop Bryan from shooting.
"Who else...!!" Bryan was unconscious.
"Since when??" Rachel then grabs the ball from Bryan's hand.
"Well, for a long time, when I was on vacation in London, I used to go to Vir's place and play games......Uup!!!" Bryan clenched his lips, realizing he was lost.
"For a long time??? When did you actually know him? Looks like something is hidden from me, mom, dad and you conspired to hide something right?"
Urge Rachel to shake her sister's shoulder.
"Ouch... Idiotically.. Idiot... Why am I so excited!!!" Bryan's inner grunts.
Bryan was still looking for ideas,
Suddenly the "Hap" Ball is snatched by Bryan quickly from Rachel, herding him to do a Shoot, and getting in right on target.
"Haha...!! Brother is easily deceived."
"YOU!!!" Shouted Rachel running after Bryan.
The longer their basketball game gets more fierce because Rachel plays rough to make Bryan overwhelmed. Because Bryan's fatigue hit his body sitting in the middle of the field.
"Udah bright?" Rachel taunted Bryan.
"Udah ah, tired ladeni people who are upset!!" Bryan laid his body on the field
"Whatchu mean? Me??galau??Because what's it trying?" Rachel snorted and sat down next to Bryan.
"Sister, do you like brother vir?" ask Bryan
"Little boy don't be a kepo."
"I'm serious brother!!"
"What is your business?"
"Sister Vir is a good man, brother don't play him."
"Sok knows you!! You haven't answered my question since when did you know her?"
"I was just kidding."
"Don't lie, you're not good at lying, so tell me!! Since when??"
"When, when??? Hmmmm... You know what???" Bryan Temptation.
Rachel stared furiously,
"Peace!!!" Bryan held out two fingers asking for peace. "Better later brother asked directly brother vir, let him explain later."
Rachel was curious.
"What exactly are they hiding from me???"
"So don't be so upset for too long!!"
"What is the reason why I should be upset??"
"Everyone who saw the childish attitude of the brother from earlier frenzy continues to know that the brother again upset because left Vir brother right?"
"Go? Went where? Wh who? Vir?? Where is Vir??"
"Ihh, this brother pretends not to know what does not know yet??
"Not knowing what?"
"But at dawn, Virr's brother returned to London."
"WHAT?????" Shouted Rachel surprised.
"So you don't know??" Bryan looked at Rachel's astonishment. "Don't Brother Virr go into brother's room to say goodbye?"
Rachel was still in shock,
"He'll be back this time, brother!! so don't be surprised, Mana can Mahavir's brother away from big brother."
"Why did he suddenly return to London?"
"Overnight Brother Vir's father suddenly called, he said there was a little problem at the Alister Hotel so Brother Vir had to take care of him immediately. He promised he'd be there in time before your reception." Bryan then got up from the basketball court. "Udah ah sis, I want to take a shower first."
Bryan left Rachel who was still sitting alone in the middle of the basketball court.
"So that warm touch last night wasn't a dream??"
