Going to the province has always been the highlight of my year. I really liked that place. It was calm. No wonder his mother loved it.

Kirun may be someone I don't get along with, but I still admire the guy. He was so small when his mom passed away and the way he is with Krystal shows how much of a good guy he is. I met Krystal when I visited the Huxley Christmas Banquet with Kanak's family. She was an amazing girl. I didn't expect her to be so down to earth and easy going. Not when you have seven boys at the tip of your fingers like she does. But the boys love and cherish her like the little girl she is. And K, he treats her like his own child despite the 5 year gap.

"You okay there?" I was snapped out of my trance by Krystal's voice. She smiled at me and I nodded, sipping on my coffee.

"So how's school?" I asked her and she groaned, running her hands through her thick brown hair. Kirun and her have the same hair colors. This makes me miss my old hair.

"School is......... tiring" she said and I chuckled, crossing my right leg over the left.

We were sitting at the small café of the resort, sipping coffee while K ran some random errands. I knew he went to the Banyan Tree in the town center and I respected his decision to leave the two of us behind. He has this fascination with that tree.

"Come on! It is just high school" I said and she groaned.

"Please tell me college is better. Please" she begged and I laughed again.

"I wish. Engineering is not hard. It is challenging." I replied, sipping on the coffee again.

"Ah. I want to try civil engineering." she said, sitting up straight and leaning forward on the chair.

"That is so nice. IUST?" I asked her and she laughed.

"Of course. I have no where else to go"

"Ah sure. I will tell my juniors to look out for you" I told her and she grinned.

"So you and my brother?" she asked me and my eyes widened.

"Your brother and I what exactly?" I asked her, biting the tip of the straw in between my front teeth.

"Come on Indah. I know he really likes you" she said and I shook my head.

"He doesn't like me that much" I muttered before sipping my coffee. It was almost finished.

"That much? Have you seen how he gets when you are around?!" she asked me incredulously and I leaned on the chair, smiling at her.

"No. I don't. Because there is nothing between us" I replied and she sighed deeply.

"Oh how I wish there was" she whispered but I heard it alright.

"Why?"

Her green eyes met mine and she grinned brightly.

"It would be nice having you around. Plus I know you make my brother happy. Also......." she said and I raised an eyebrow.

"Also?"
