Stey looked attractive even with all of the essories she wore today. Alfin watched her from top to bottom with satisfaction.


    "As usual, you look beautiful for today," Alfin said honestly and meant topliment Stey.


    But instead, it failed because Stey actually considered his words as a satire for her.


    Continued to stare at Reihan. And vice versa. Stey was swinging her hand in front of him again to ask for her belonging back.


    "Return the things I left behind. And please, don''t waste my time."


    Stey suddenly said coldly to Reihan. While Alfin caught that with a strange expression.


    "Did you eat something wrong?" Alfin asked in surprise at Stey''s curt attitude. Stey seems to want to bear to push Alfin away. She chose to turn around for looked at him.


    "Can you not bother me while I''m talking to him?" attacked Stey with all the irritation that she held back.


    Stey looked at Reihan again and said.


    "And you, can''t you talk and move ording to fulfill my wish?" said Stey without showing her usual courtesy.


    Stey recalled the short message Reihan had sent her.


    <em>[ ''I found an object that caught my attention. ]</em> – Reihan wrote intentionally in his message while sending a picture.


    Stey, who saw that, immediately panicked.


    Saw the notification and found Reihan didn''t block her number. Stey read a message that piqued her curiosity. Then came across an image that made her stunned.


    Why was the bracelet in there?


    Thought with great confusion as she realized that the bracelet must have fallen somewhere when Stey had identally stopped by at Reihan''s cafe a long time ago.


    Stey disappointed. She shouldn''t have epted her friend''s invitation to gather there because she said the cafe was quite attractive andfortable.


    Stey cursed her bad luck that day.


    Didn''t answer the message until a few hourster. Or maybe rather ignored it.


    A second message came back into her cellphone apanied by another message that had been bothering hertely.


    <em>[ ''Is Steven with you? ]</em> – wrote Alfin, asking about her brother for some reason instead of her.


    Stey only replied to the message briefly.


    [ ''I don''t know. Because I''m not pocketing him.] – Stey then sends it to Alfin.


    After that just read the second message from Reihan that actually entered her inbox first. However, Stey preferred to read Alfin''s message first. Stey fell silent as she read a message from him.


    [ ''Isn''t this the bracelet I gave you? Why are you still keeping it? ] – wrote Reihan with a series of words that were easy for him to write but were difficult for Stey to received. Stey was incredibly depressed. Didn''t expect that Reihan actually recognized the bracelet.


    Yes. The antique bracelet was indeed given by Reihan because Stey begged him to buy it for her.


    Stey should just keep the memorable things in her closet and did not take them out.


    Knew that Reihan might think badly if he saw it and it turned out to be true. Reihan sent her a third message.


    <em>[ ''Do you still like me? ]</em> – asked Reihan in his short message.


    Stey immediately put her phone on the bed. And pped her head carelessly. It was already ten o''clock at night but the guy wanted to disturb her and make it hard for her to sleep?


    Annoyed, embarrassed, and sad of course, all mixed together when she managed to make her former first love tease her with satisfaction and of courseugh with satisfaction when he thought about all the possibilities that he wrote in his message.


    Stey seemed to want to grab her hair tightly. Then caught her breath. Stey did some hand exercise as she started to want to reply to the message. But only when she wrote a word or two and hadn''t even thought about exactly what she was going to write.


    The fourth message returned to her cellphone.


    <em>[ ''Why didn''t you reply? Are you asleep? Or are you afraid to reply to my messages?" ]</em> – asked Reihan with insistence and read excitedly.


    Was he so out of work right now that he sent her a bunch of messages that she hadn''t replied to but he had been sending follow-up messages to?


    Stey then replied to the message quickly.


    <em>[ ''I don''t understand what you''re asking. What bracelet and where''s the proof if it''s mine? I don''t feel like I''m missing anything. ]</em> – wrote Stey with the fastest typing speed.


    In less than 10 seconds Reihan had replied to her message.


    <em>[ ''Is it true? ]</em>


    <em>[ ''Yes ]</em>


    Stey replied curtly. Then the reply message came less than a minuteter. Reihan sent her a picture again, showing the inside of the bracelet.


    Stey Detriana''s name was clearly engraved in an embossed form on the gold-colored ss. Stey patted her head in annoyance


    Knew that she could not lie anymore and the real evidence was in front of her eyes that the bracelet was hers.


    Stey tried to think quickly. She kept racking her brain until half an hourter she just replied to Reihan. Stey didn''t care if Reihan wasughing at her at that time. She replied to the message with a heavy heart.


    <em>[ ''Ah, you''re right! Looks like it''s mine. How did you get that thing? ]</em>


    Replied Stey politely but pretended.


    Should she block the number too? After all, the bracelet would also be a trash skeleton from which all the jewels gathered. Until it can only be a disgrace to her because the bracelet was authentic evidence that she had been rejected many times by one man.


    Stey of course wanted to bury it deep. But didn''t realize that the bracelet was still tucked away in her bag like a talisman without her wanting it.


    Reihan replied to Stey''s message after a minute had passed.


    Wasn''t today''s message was the record for the fastest man that sent her a reply? Especially when she remembered about Reihan who had never wanting to reply to her messages if he wasn''t forced to a few years ago.


    Stey would have bloomed at that time if Reihan treated her the same way. Then assumed that it was just her imagination and also a part of her past. Stey certainly will not show her weak side again for this time.


    She read Reihan''s message again when she was getting sleepy.


    <em>[ ''You dropped it when you visited here. Did you do it on purpose? ]</em> –Reihan wrote unexpectedly.


    Stey was wide-eyed.


    <em>What? What did he write?</em>


    Stey re-read the contents of the message and was sure she had read it correctly.


    "Reihan said that I purposely wanted to drop the bracelet in his ce?"


    Stey lightly hit her chest. Was he kidding?


    The drowsiness disappeared in an instant. Although it could not be denied that she might also be sleepy again.


    <em>[ ''Are you kidding? ]</em> – wrote Stey without adding politeness in her message. Because she already no longer cared about the manners which didn''t she needed for now.


    Reihan replied to her messages quickly but rxed.


    <em>[ ''I was just estimating it. If it''s not true, so alright. So is it true? ]</em> – wrote Reihan with all the casualness of his writing style.


    Seemed to want to throw her cellphone far away when she read the irresponsible message. Stey forced herself to stop pulling the veins. Being neutral again and behave appropriately and rxed about what to reply to.


    [ ''I didn''t remember the bracelet was still on me and I didn''t know it fell out of my bag. I was purely unintentional. } – Stey deliberately put emphasis on some of her writings which when someone reads it, will certainly have a clear meaning.


    Stey tried hard not to change the writing in her message to deliberately make it capital letters and even bold.


    Reihan certainly understood what she meant even though she didn''t do that.


    Stey then asked for the bracelet to be returned to her, if she met her brother and asked Reihan to leave it to Steven. But Reihan actually asked Stey to take it by herself.


    <em>[ ''I can''t give this precious thing to anyone. So if you want to take it you cane to my ce. ]</em> – Reihan wrote pretty long and they were still texting each other like close friends.


    This was their first experience. Stey quite objected to his decision.


    <em>[ ''But he is my brother! So there will be no problem! ]</em> – wrote Stey with all the patience she had left.


    Reihan had actually been chuckling with satisfaction when he could keep pestering Stey. Women who had now changed not only physically but also verbally. Stey was now much more polite and good at restraining herself so Reihan was quite proud of her.


    Just realized that a person can grow up over time and of their own will, maybe even if due to the demands of the circumstances. Reihan seemed to think that he would get along well with Stey this time.


    Reihan began to decide to ept the woman maybe as his sister too. Because he was an only child and had no experience of being an older brother. But that was not a problem because Reihan can try it.


    Stey finally decided toe alone by force to Reihan''s ce. Reihan smiled in satisfaction when he saw her annoyed face. He knew that she didn''t really want toe to see him because so far their rtionship had not been good.


    "So you actually came to pick up what you said wasn''t yours, but turned out to be yours?" Reihan quipped deliberately while hiding his amused feeling because he had teased Stey.


    Stey felt her ears turn red. She cursed at the gold colored object that she should have thrown away a long time ago.
