"The line? Why are you here?"
"I ... want to go to your apartment, okay? Someone wants me to tell you something."
"What?"
"On us."

Since learning that Miko Algahfa is the older sister of Beby Skyla Amanda, Joko and Haris have always been looking for a gap to attract Miko's attention. As happened in the cafeteria this afternoon for example.
"What do you want to eat, Mik? Let me go, huh?" said Haris while putting on an expression.
"No need, Mik," said Joko. "Gue is richer than Haris. So, I just want to buy it. And since I'm richer than Haris, your sister's life will be assured."
"The rich are your parents, bego!" tukas Rama's.
"By being part of my family, his life will be guaranteed. Jaya is well-off sentosa, dah!"
"Now, yes, Mik. If your sister becomes my wife, you must have a good feeling later. In fact, I look far above average." Haris won't lose either.
"Bacot lo both," concluded Miko who then moved from her place.
Just two steps walk, Miko back to reverse the body. "Don't follow me!"
"Prepare to do it, Brother-in-law!" sahut Haris with a big smile.
'Plak!'
"Lo play call brother-in-law. My people will be accepted Beby," said Joko did not accept.
While the two men were still arguing, Miko who felt her ears were hot was immediately wiped away from there. The man chose to kill time in the library.
Seeing Miko's departure, Rama follows. Before actually leaving the place, the man looked at his two companions concerned.
"Do you know how to get Beby?"
Rama's question then makes Joko and Haris compact reply, "Where?"
"Actually, it's easy, anyway, the terms."
"It has to be rich, right?" joko Sahut. "That's it, I'm so!"
Rama shook his head.
Now, it was Haris' turn to reply. The man looked at Joko while out loud. "Gue said what too. Must be above average. Really, right, Ram?"
Again, Rama nodded.
Haris's self-confidence was at the top, as if crushed by Rama's response.
"If it's not both, then what, dong?" ask Joko.
Rama looked at his two best friends. "Do you know the terms?"
Haris and Joko compactly nodded.
"MUST BE SANE!"

It took Aldef thousands of times to think about the decision he is taking now. How not? Celine asks him to take the girl to Aldef's apartment. Instead of agreeing to Celine's request, Aldef offered other venues such as a rooftop, a park, or a location other than her apartment. But, the girl refused under the pretext of wanting to see how the atmosphere of Aldef's apartment was.
Finally, this is where they are in the middle space of Aldef's apartment. Honestly, Aldef felt very betrayed Beby. He had never invited Beby into his apartment, while now Aldef brought the former there. Worse yet, Aldef is still hiding Celine. Not wanting to be open, Aldef was just looking for the right time to tell everything. I don't know when that was.
"So, what do you want to tell?" aldef asked shortly after they sat side by side on the black sofa in front of the 42-inch television.
"Why did you move here, Al? In fact, your apartment that used to be closer than the campus."
"You're looking for a new atmosphere. Here the facilities are more complete."
"Your mother has been here?"
Aldef shakes. "I go there more often."
Celine's just a mangosteen. That girl doesn't know much about Aldef's parents. As Celine knows, Aldef's father died when Aldef was a child, while his mother remarried after a long time of widowhood.
"I didn't know, Al, we'll see you again."
Aldef silent. I don't know what Celine means behind every word. For Aldef, Celine was still the same: hard to guess.
"I saw your post today" Celine said after a long silence. "I just found out that you can be romantic too. It was the same time I was, never was, tuh, you're like that."
Celine looked towards Aldef. "No target, our High School days? You who never gave up to try a thousand ways for the sake of my attention. You're even gonna be late for waiting for me at the gate. Emang, yes, those High School days were the most beautiful times. I'm a fool, just sober now."
"Cel, I—"
"Al ... what can, we start all over again?"

Arka smiled bitterly at the sight of something crowded on Instagram this morning. Of course, it's still around Beby Skyla Amanda. The girl whose soul rests in the heart of Arka.
Yesterday, Arka was allowed to go home. And now, Arka is sitting on her king-size mattress. Really, Arka was relieved to be back in her super comfortable room.
A message came in from my mom.
Sally:
Ar, Mama is coming home. Is there anything you want to take?
^^^Me:^^^
^^^Titip mama's body, do not let anything.^^^
Sally:
Ar ... Mom seriously.
Arka chuckled softly seeing her mother's reply.
^^^Me:^^^
Sally:
Yes, that is it. The medicine should not be drunk, yes. Don't be late. If someone is sick, call an ambulance.
Me:
Yes, Ma.
Switching from her chat room with her mother, Arka opened the Instagram application. The goal is still the same, the post of a man who now replaces his position in Beby's life.
Arka's thumb pressed the comment field. Two know for dating Beby, they never once posted a photo together. In fact, only the closest people know about their relationship.
Not not wanting to go public or anything like that, Arka and Beby rarely meet. Moreover, as long as Arka officially became a final-level student. Not to mention, Arka who must try desperately to reduce the intensity of their meeting because they do not want Beby suspicious about the physical changes Arka.
Looking at the comments that were 80% in favor, Arka smiled faintly. He also typed something there.
arka.aja_: Longeng ya yu :)

Beby was on his way home when his phone suddenly rang.
"Who, Lol?" beby asked Lola, who was sitting to her left, because Beby was behind the steering wheel.
"Aldef."
"Have a hand."
Beby wears bluetooth earphones that have been connected to his phone.
"City, Sky. Lo where is it?"
"Again the way home. Wh why? Kangen, huh?" goda Beby while chuckling amusedly.
"Buccenn!!!" sindir Lola blatantly. Beby only glanced at his best friend.
There was the sound of Aldef's crisp laughter across the street. "Who's going home, huh?"
"Lola."
"Oh. Yes already. Be careful on the road, yeah. When you arrive, you go straight to my apartment. We're house tour according to plan this morning."
"Ready, Boss!"
The conversation ended. Not 30 seconds later, Beby's phone rang again.
"Why else, anyway, Al?"
"Good! Keep going!"
Beby glanced at his phone screen. Apparently, not Aldef, but Miko.
"Where are you?" Miko's voice was heard, as usual.
"On the road."
"Back, Beby! Where are you going to go these gini nights, huh?!"
"Yes, this one wants to go home! On the road, go home! Ishi!" Beby clucked in annoyance.
"Oh. Yes already. Directly home. Don't come by."
"Bawel lo, ah!"
Beby's gaze turned on the girl to his left. Lola's gaze did not switch from the phone screen, but her finger did not move. It seemed, Beby knew what he had to do now.
"Sister?"
"Hm?"
"Lola wants to talk to you."
"OKAH!"
"WHAT THE FUCK, BY?! NO, YEAH!"
And Beby laughed satisfied with the reaction of the two annoying people.
***
As planned, once he reached the apartment, Beby immediately headed for Aldef's apartment unit. His hand moved pressing the bell button as soon as it was already standing in front of the door.
No need to wait long, the door opened and Aldef came out from there.
They throw each other a sweet smile.
"Come in, Sky," said Aldef.
Beby stepped in. The area of Aldef's apartment and apartment is not much different. The nuance and euphoria alone felt different.
"Lo sit down first, I make a drink. Must be tired, right?" aldef said after they got to the living room.
Beby nodded with a smile to reply to Aldef's offer. Getting such a response, Aldef rushed towards the kitchen to pick up 2 cold drinks.
Meanwhile, the abandoned Beby was sitting on the sofa of the living room. Just now Beby wanted to lean his back that felt stiff, but the intention was downplayed because Beby's eyeball caught something tucked away on the sofa.
"Who's hairpin, huh?"
