A week later, after Kirana explained to her adoptive parents about her brother and her condition, 

"We would be very happy if you could meet again."

"We should apologize to Nina. We should have explained everything to you.  " 

"It's OK, Mom. Dad, I just... "

"I should be the one thanking you for taking care of my sister," said Kei, while bowing his head. 

"No, son. You don't have to say that. "

"Mom, dad. Can he stay here? "asked Kirana.

"Hey, Kirana," said Kei, as if surprised. 

"Of course you can. as long as you don't bother your brother. OK? "

"Yes, He came to this but still loves you. He's a great brother,"

"of course. Thank you, mom. Dad. "

Her adoptive parents didn't mind at all and instead allowed Kei to live with Kirana. Not only that... Kirana wants her adoptive parents to keep calling Nina Kemala Puspa's name. Because she felt that only her brother was allowed to call her real name. Kirana ita rahayu. Kirana's life is now much more fun. Kirana doesn't hesitate to invite her brother to work, even though at this time...

"How can you just leave without treating me first?" said Hasan while scolding Kirana. 

"Sorry, Hasan."

She got angry with Hasan because she just left without treating Hasan's wound. But on the other hand, Kirana got angry because...

"Happy birthday, Nina..."

Hasan and the others gave a birthday surprise. 

"Happy birthday..." she said as if she couldn't believe it. 

"That person behind you told us about your birthday." said Hasan.

"You're so lucky, Nina," said Lusi.

"You have a handsome boyfriend who wants to donate his eyes and blood just for you," said Sofian.

"He's not my boyfriend.. he is..." 

Kei immediately interrupted the conversation...

" if you keep teasing her. She doesn't want to eat cake " 

"Hey... " Kirana said,

"That's right," said Hasan.

"So let's... "said Sahrul.

"Wait a minute, she must blow a candle first," said Lusi.

"and then... it's time to eat cake," said Sofyan.

At first, they gave the cake to Kirana. But it turns out that Kirana gets a cream attack that sticks to her cheek and forehead. Kirana even approached her brother, who had previously been brought to a seat.

"Is this cream?" he asked when Kirana pointed Kei's hand to her left cheek.

"they are meant to smear me with cream. " Kirana said, looking a little annoyed. 

The funny thing is, Kei even spreads the cream like powder.

"Brother."

"Why? You should have fun. Not upset! "said Kei while laughing 

Then for a moment, Kirana heard a whisper from Kei. 

"Happy birthday, sister. This is your first birthday celebration. So... have fun, "said Kei while smiling.

Hearing that, Kirana hugged Kei while crying.

"Thank you, brother..."

When Kirana was allowed to go out by Hasan, she also invited her brother to spend the afternoon at the dam together. Until now, Kirana doesn't want to let go of his hand.

"Kei."

"Yes."

"Do you work?"

"more like that. I'm a delivery man. But on the other hand... I'm a martial artist. Although I mostly practice at home anyway.  " He said 

"Really... 

(No wonder he was riding his motorcycle so fast at that time.)" 

"However, considering that I am now blind, I will try to find another job and train my sensitivity according to my condition. Why are you asking, Kirana? "asked Kei

"Nothing," said Nina, while shaking her head. 

"Well, where are we going now? "asked Kei.

"You will know later," said Nina while smiling.

Arriving at the dam, Kirana took her brother to the river bank. She took out a paper flower from her bag. 

"Kei."

"Yes," "

"about that promise..." said Kirana.

"You're saying that I want to take you somewhere when I give you paper flowers. Right?," said Kei, as if he knew.

"Yes, But how do you know? " asked Kirana.

"Well, about that. I can't tell you, sorry! "said Kei, while smiling. 

"Aw, come on. Tell me, please. "

"(Sorry about that. At that time, I wanted to take you to a place where mom and dad kept a box containing letters and two seashells they picked up on the beach. He said this was a gift for us. But that time you cried, even to the point of falling until your feet bled. Until I had to tear the new clothes I was wearing just to cover the wound on your leg.)"thought Kei 

"Why are you silent? "asked Kirana.

"Why? Indeed, silence can't be huh? "said Kei. That is like joking. 

"Kei is weird..." said Kirana, who was trying to tease her brother.

"Who said I'm weird?" asked Kei, who hesitated, 

"Who?..." she said, starting laughing. 

" Kirana... "

they always joke around whenever they talk about anything. 

"Kei?"

"Yeah."

"Why don't we wash away these paper flowers now?" asked Kirana.

"Did you bring a paper flower?" asked Kei.

"More like that," Kirana said,

"well, if you say so." "Let's start it." 

"Yes, brother."

Together, they washed the paper flowers into the river. From FluencyThe two of them couldn't stop expressing their happiness even though it was only through laughter and throwing small stones at each other...
