ARMY, DEAD (EPS. 3)
15. Restart
After a long journey by train, Danu arrived faster. Without wasting any time, he immediately drew up the plan he had thought of before. The first step, he will look for a place to live, or rather a hiding place, so that he can conduct reconnaissance to find information on the whereabouts of Aini and also his enemies, so that he can search for information on the whereabouts of Aini, then he will warn one of them so that his enemies will not be easy to get Aini, so it will give Danu time to get Aini back.
Danu traces the places he thinks are strategic to be his residence and hideout, but the most important thing is, from that place, Danu can watch over them easily, to the end, he said, after a long search and having found the right place, Danu walks towards a nearby mini market, wearing a jacket with a hood to cover her head to disguise her face from her enemies.
After he finished buying the items he needed by waiting long enough, because when he would pay for his groceries, there was a technical obstacle that made him have to wait for some time.
Across the street of the mini market, a motor sport drove at high speed. The driver drove the iron horse at maximum speed, accompanied by several car and motorcycle horns that almost grazed him, but he did not care about it, he did not care about it, he had to catch up with Dimas to give the paper to him.
"Sorry, this is the only thing that can do." He was behind the black helmet he was wearing.
*****
At Dimas's residence, he and Vika are confused, not because of a warning message from the mysterious person who is meant for whom, because they understand what the message means, but more on whether they will tell Aini and the others or not.
After quite a while of contemplation and discussion, Dimas finally decided not to tell Aini and the others. Let the warning be the secret of both of them, and most importantly they will both be more trying to keep Aini.

"Udah, bro?" Daniel just came back after he asked permission to leave for a while after Dimas and Vika agreed to go home.
"Udah, thanks, Ar." Daniel gives the key to the bike he borrowed from Arda to go finish his business.
"What happened, bro?" Arda asked Daniel, who had just left, his attitude now seemed to be thinking about something.
"Well, what's wrong, Ar." Dimas was a little nervous to hear Arda's question, but after that they went back to chatting casually as usual.
On the sidelines of the chatter, sometimes Arda silently looked at Aini with a deep gaze, Aini realized that, and that made her a little embarrassed, while Anita who was also paying attention to their body language, was, only able to smile while praying for the best for both of them, only Daniel had different thoughts from all of them.
Then after feeling too long they were at Anita's house, Arda and Daniel decided to go home, while Aini was still at home there.
"Ni, how is your relationship with Arda now?" After no one, their chat now leads to personal things that make Anita curious.
"Udah, mending you guys just be it." Anita keeps teasing Aini. He is happy now his best friend has started to smile, maybe it is time he returned and forgot all that has happened.

Under the shady tree, with a cool atmosphere, the person with the hood and black jacket he was wearing, patiently waited for someone to ascertain his whereabouts. He had sat long enough and leaned his body on a tree whose leafy leaves were able to provide coolness on that hot enough day. The cradle of wind gently caressed his tired body, able to lower his eyes until slowly closed, bringing him to the dreamland that had long not come.
"And." The woman in the High School uniform sat down and leaned against Danu's shoulder with a hint of spoiled, Danu looked at her and smiled. The two of them sat under a shady tree in the back yard of the school.
"Are we going to continue like this?" Ask Danu.
"Hhhmmmm, hopefully, why?" Danu again asked, which of course was a futile question, because it did not come from his heart. Aini did not answer, he was now staring at the high concrete fence that became the barrier between the school with the residential residents who were right behind the school environment is quite spacious. His gaze was blank, there was something he was thinking about the events in this place with others. The incident made him feel guilty, even though he did not intend to hurt him, but still the pain must be there.
"Thank you, mba, don't forget five-star love, yeah, mba." The voice of the online taxi driver who stopped across the street woke her from a dream together with Aini when they were both still in high school uniform. There Aini is still seen standing, he just got off the bonbar of an online motorcycle he ordered to take him home. Unaware, Danu smiled at him. Aini's beautiful face is sad, able to hypnotize him for a moment until he regained his senses and changed his smile into a grin. He realized that what he was aiming for was not love.
"In a moment, you will cave dapetin." Danu disappeared at the end of the road. He left quickly after confirming Aini's condition was still untouched by his enemies.
*****
"Eh." A short message entered on Aini's phone, he immediately read it, but did not immediately reply, his heart pounding looking at the profile photo of the sender of the message.
"Why?" It was only that short word that Aini could send to the person across there.
"Why not, just want to know you're doing it again." The icon of a sweet smile ended a reply message from Arda.
"I fell asleep again, you alone?" Aini did not know what to reply to Arda with the question, her heart is now really flowery by the person who replied to her message at this time, if Arda saw it, he said, Aini must have been so embarrassed by her own behavior.
"Hhhmmm, if I say think of you again, believe me?" Arda's reply really made Aini more floating, and finally he did not reply to Arda's message. His face was met with red, his blood was gently rustling. Aini got up and walked and sat down at the dresser in the corner of her room, looking at her at the large mirror behind her dresser lined up neatly with a few not so many makeup kits. The question arises to himself, "are I in love? If it is, am I ready to be disappointed?", The questions in his mind regrow all his doubts in men. All the flowers that had bloomed in his heart must now be blown away with the happiness on his face which has also now returned grim.
