Chapter 1
I'm just a broken home, not a broken dream.
Ara Adhitama
“Aron,” the voice came from the bespectacled little girl across from Aron. The girl ran towards Aron.
“Be careful Ara,” said Aron softly. Aron smiled seeing his little sister now growing into a Growing Girl.
“Aron wants to go to school?” Aron saw Ara reading a book beside him. “Yes, I want to go to school,”
Ara looked at Aron for a while and continued reading her book.” Tomorrow there will be a poetry reading competition, come, please,” said Ara in her spoiled tone. Aron left Ara in the yard and he said to Ara, “Yes, tomorrow I will try to come,”. Ara, who heard that, jumped up and down because she was happy to hear her brother’s words, “Promise me,”. “Yes promise, go to school yes,”. After talking to his sister, then Aron put on his helmet and started his motorbike. On the way, Aron’s mind couldn’t calm down because of what his parents heard Aron and Ara heard a few days ago. Indifferent, and cold. His indifferent and cold nature made his friends afraid of Aron. “Maron Adhiatma,” the middle-aged boy’s voice startled Aron.”Yes sir what is it?”
“There’s something I want to tell you,”
“Okay sir,”
“After school you meet me in the teacher’s room,”
“Okay sir,”
He is Mr. Reno, Aron’s sports teacher. Aron has a hobby of playing basketball. For your information, Aron is the core basketball team at his school. After talking with Mr. Reno, Aron goes to his class, and there are already friends in the class named Ray and Dean.
“Bro, where have you been,” asked Dean.
“I just finished talking to Mr. Reno,”
“I heard you have a younger sister, bro,” Ray approached Aron.
“What are you doing with my sister?”
“Relax bro, I didn’t mean anything”
“uh play boy lower class,”
“Eh Dean, what do you mean by calling me a lower-class Playboy,”
“You’re really a play boy,” Dean threw Ray with his notebook.
Ray, who didn’t accept it, replied to Dean and threw Dean with his shoes.
“It’s not that smart, I’m not a low-class playboy, but I’m an upper-class Playboy,”
“Your eyes are top class,”
Aron who saw the behavior of his friends just watched with his cold face.
Now coming home from school, Aron is now in the teacher’s room and meets Mr. Reno, his sports teacher.
“Excuse me,” said Aron politely.
“Hey Aron please come in”
“Okay sir, thank you”
Aron is now sitting in front of Mr. Reno’s desk asking what Mr. Reno wants to say to Aron.
“What is it, Mr. Reno, summoned me here?”
Mr. Reno saw Aron then stood up and took a brochure on the side table.
“So here’s an offer for you to take part in the basketball competition at Horizon High School. Are you willing to become a basketball captain representing Asian High School?”
Aron listened to Mr. Reno’s words carefully. Then he thought for a moment and agreed to Mr. Reno’s offer.
In the afternoon Aron arrived home and he saw his sister sitting by the pool.
“What are you doing?”
“Emm Ara is thinking of poetry for tomorrow,”
“Oh yeah are you ready?”
“Ara is ready, emm aron is not going to headquarters,”
“Maybe later tonight, I’ll go to the room okay,”
“Okay,”
"Wow, your look is very good, Ara, I really appreciate you, tomorrow I will buy a new book," said Aron to Ara who had participated in the poetry competition. Aron is very proud of his little sister. His little sister is very - It's very interesting to write poetry.
"Thanks Aron for the appreciation, I'm so glad you're here,"
"Of course honey,"
Ara looked around, she didn't see her father and mother there.
"What's wrong, what are you looking for?" Aron asked who saw Ara who was confused.
"Are Mama and Papa coming today, Aron?"
Aron saw Ara as sad because her parents didn't come at that time.
"Apparently not, don't worry about it. I'm here,"
"OK,"
Aron and Ara now go to a fast food restaurant near Ara's school.
Arriving at the fast food restaurant they went to the message table to order food.
"I ordered one fried chicken with tomato sauce, one burger with one Coca-Cola drink, and one plain water,"
"Okay, please wait, here's the table number," said the restaurant waiter.
Ara and Aron went to sit at table number 34. They sat enjoying the sunset. Their table was so close to the glass that they could enjoy the beauty of this sunset.
"Aron, I heard you're going to take part in the basketball competition, right?"
Aron who was dreaming then looked at Ara and shifted his gaze forward.
"Yes I will represent my school for the basketball competition, why hmm?"
"Hey, it's okay,"
"After this, I'll go straight to your headquarters, will you go home alone, won't you?"
Ara glanced at Aron, "Relax, I'm used to being alone, ma me,"
After that conversation there was no more conversation between the two. They were both silent and silent, neither of them made a sound until the food was finished.
Arron drove his motorbike quickly towards the headquarters of his motorbike gang. Looks like he has an appointment with someone.
"What's wrong bro," a deep voice came from Arron's right.
"I have a job for you"
They planned a secret job, you could say it was a secret mission.
"Okay deal," said the mysterious man. Not long after the man left and left Arron alone.
"Hey bro," Arron looked from the left he saw Dean and Rayhan were eating around the base.
"Who are you after meeting?" Ray asked with a face full of suspicion.
"None of your business,"

"None of your business,"
Dean's and Rayhan's faces were dumbfounded after hearing those words. Arron didn't usually talk like that.
"Where is the miscommunication child?" Ask Dean
"I don't know, I think he learned from you,"
Aron left his two best friends. He went to a quiet place. He looked around him. Aron feels the place is getting quieter. Aron runs his motorbike at high speed. Unknowingly he is endangering his own life and that of others.
On the other hand
"Mom papa Ara home,"
The sound of broken glass shattered loudly from Ara's kitchen. He saw his mother and father fighting for the umpteenth time.
"You were told, don't play with girls, keep cheating on your job,"
"Why don't you like it when I'm cheating on you, who are you, you're just my slave, right?"
"Aaaaa," the scream made Ara cry sobbing she ran to her room and locked her room. Ara lay on her bed and she hugged her bolster until she finally fell asleep.
At 22.00 Aron went home. When Aron came home, Aron's house was like a broken ship. Broken plates are everywhere.
"Fuck.."
Aron cursed in his heart. Again and again his parents fight at the wrong time. He went upstairs and met Ara. Aron saw Ara was fast asleep, maybe Ara was tired of her parents.
