What did I take from you?

Rafa frowned in confusion when he read the message he got. A few seconds later, he remembered something. No one else knows that Rafa has an appointment with someone coal Bianca. So, most likely the one who sent the message must be Bianca.

."Ah, this must be Bianca," he said as he recalled the incident this morning that had reason to be when Bianca asked him to leave.

Rafa felt bad because Bianca knew he was just making excuses so he wouldn't go out with the girl. But what are you going to do? Rafa didn't like Bianca from the start. Rafa is more interested in Nadia, who looks gentle and kind.

"What should I say to Bianca? Did she misunderstand or not? What if she blames Nadia because I refused her request to go to the shoe shop's going to be a problem with Nadia, I'm sorry," he monologued while looking at his cellphone screen that displayed a chat from Bianca.

Rafa was only afraid that Bianca's misunderstanding would drag Nadia too because Rafa himself knew a little that the relationship between Bianca and Nadia was not good enough. Although Rafa still doesn't know the reason, what Rafa can see is that Bianca doesn't like Nadia.

"It's better if I explain it to Bianca first than everything gets messy. Poor Nadia," Rafa said and started typing something on the screen of the flat object.

When he was about to reply to Bianca's message, suddenly his cell phone died. The battery is out. As a result, Rafa couldn't reply to the message sent by Bianca, and maybe Bianca who was currently on the other side felt that Rafandra had ignored her.

"Tsk, forgot the charger again ..." Rafa grumbled.

Reluctantly, Rafa charged his cellphone and then went to the bathroom to clean himself. Until either, because he was too tired or somehow, Rafa forgot to reply to Bianca's message, and instead fell asleep.

In another place at the same time, Bianca scowled while looking at her phone. "Just read it? Tsk, that sucks. Does he think he's that handsome and popular that you dare ignore my message? You bastard!" Bianca cursed then threw her phone in any direction. The beautiful girl then came out of her room, frowning in annoyance.

While Nadia, who had just arrived home, went straight to her room to rest and also clean up. All-day work makes his body sticky. After taking a shower, Nadia came out of the bathroom with her hair still wet wrapped in a towel. Her pair of eyes caught the figure of a girl sitting on her bed.

"Did you forget what I warned you about that time?" Bianca spoke up. The girl's gaze seemed to be about to pounce on Nadia right then and there.

Nadia already knows what Bianca means at this time, of course, Bianca knows that this afternoon she was with Rafandra at the snack shop. Even if it was only for a moment, if Bianca knew that Nadia was with Rafandra, then Bianca would never care or want to know how long they had been together.

"Don't get me wrong, Bianca. It's not what you think," Nadia whispered, the beautiful girl walked over to her sister.

"No, I've never misunderstood you. I already know your nature, Nadia Arsa Wijaya!" Bianca said curtly with her smirk smile.

"W-what do you mean?" Nadia doesn't understand, what Nadia knows right now is that Bianca is very angry and disappointed with her.

"Weren't you self-conscious all this time? You always snatch everything I want, Nadia!" now Bianca's tone rose a few octaves, making Nadia's beautiful eyes sparkle instantly as she held back tears.

Nadia shrieked in surprise. The girl closed her eyes in fear. Meanwhile, Bianca got up from her seat and walked slowly towards Nadia.

"I? I snatch what? What do you want?" Nadia asked with a sad look mixed with extreme nervousness.

"Everything... You took everything from me. Including my happiness," Bianca replied in a trembling voice.

Unlike usual when Bianca is angry with Nadia, if Bianca is angry then Nadia already knows exactly that her sister will yell at her or hit her. But this time, Bianca seemed to be holding back tears. What's wrong with Bianca?

"Bianca... Tell me, what I got..don't be like this, I don't understand what you mean, Bianca..." Nadia tried to grab Bianca's wrist.

"Do not touch me!" Roughly, Bianca brushed off Nadia's hand.

"You know what makes me hate you so much?" Bianca asked her stepsister.

Nadia was silent, she didn't know how to answer. She couldn't even look into her sister's eyes. Right now Bianca looks very angry with her, but Bianca's anger this time is very different from Bianca's anger before. The girl didn't slap or hit her sister like she usually does, Bianca was silent and just stared at Nadia who didn't dare look at her.

"If you want to know, then the answer is your face. That beautiful face of yours," Bianca continued with a firm tone that pierced Nadia's chest.

Nadia froze hearing Bianca's statement. How could Bianca, who is famous for her charm and beauty, say something like this? Even though not many people say that Bianca is more perfect than Nadia, Bianca is not even less intelligent than Nadia herself.

"W-why do you say that, Bianca? What's wrong with you? Y-you're even prettier than me," Nadia stuttered.

Now Bianca couldn't hold back her tears. The girl's tears fell slowly. Nadia was so surprised to see Bianca had tears in her eyes. This was Bianca's first time seeing that.

"But, more than that... I hate your character more!" Bianca concluded.

Bianca left Nadia's room while rubbing the tears that fell down her cheeks. Walked quickly and slammed the door to Nadia's room. Meanwhile, Nadia did not understand what Bianca meant. Helplessly, Nadia fell on her bed. She couldn't hold back her tears. This was the first time she had seen Bianca so angry that she cried.

"What's wrong with me, Ca? Why do you always act like this to me? Why have you changed? I miss my old Aca..." said Nadia in her hoarse voice.

Nadia looked at her closed bedroom door. The girl then lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. But the tears kept coming out of her beautiful eyes. Until maybe because she was too tired and also the burden of her mind was not crazy, Nadia unconsciously fell asleep.

but things were different in Bianca's room at the moment. The beautiful brown-haired girl sobbed beside her bed. She didn't have the heart to say harsh words like that to her sister, but she had promised herself to make her sister a strong and great woman.

Bianca did this so that her sister would not be easily bullied by others. However, it has been almost 10 years since Bianca has been doing this, her sister is still a relentless and kind person. Bianca doesn't want that to happen because one day her mother will drop Nadia.

While Bianca herself has a promise to keep to Nadia's biological mother before she leaves her biological daughter.

"Mother, Bianca has tried. But, Nadia's sister still hasn't changed. She is still Bianca's kind-hearted sister. How does Bianca tell Sis Nadia that she has to fight back? Soon ... Sis Nadia will be 18 years old. Mom Irene will do something to eliminate Sis Nadia. What should Bianca do?" Bianca whispered as she continued to cry and buried her face between her knees.

And yes, Bianca's promise was only to make Nadia change her character to be more assertive and not always give in. I don't know if it's Nadia's true nature or something, but it's clear that Bianca herself is getting more and more impatient if she has to keep pretending to be mean to her sister.

Honestly, Bianca was tired of covering up all her affection for her sister with her rude actions. Bianca misses the togetherness between herself and her sister.

"Should I be honest with him about everything?" mumbled a frustrated Bianca.
