"How many times have you changed?" Rengga asked while linking the two eyebrows.

"I'm not changing."

"Which I am Rasain, you stay away.. And the bates you love make me not be able to do much." His eyes looked seriously. "I want to know you better."

"I'm not good anymore. Not to be disturbed."

"What can I do for you, Najwa?"

"Difficult." Answer the girl flat. "I don't need help right now."

"I want to help you better, Najwa. But on the other hand, I also don't want to bother you, if you want to."

Silent.

Rengga's heart humbled as low as adoring the girl in front of him. To him, he was meaningless and unworthy of anyone. What else could make her worthy besides fighting to fulfill her puja girl wish.

"I don't need to be helped by people." Najwa stared furiously. "Not again to be disturbed."

"Are there any other guys you know besides me?"

"Nggk is there."

Rengga sought certainty among Najwa's uncertain attitude. "Did I still have a chance to convince you?"

"Still."

"Okey I get it." Najwa's behavior is confusing this afternoon. But with the given narrative, Rengga has his own assumptions.

"I will reward you if you want to be rich again. I'll stay away for a while."

Najwa's lips folded as if he wanted to say something that he knew what it was.

"I promise I'll wait for you. Until you're better. Don't hesitate to call me."

***

Nowow.

"Where are you going Najwa? When hope is this big?" He stared at the ceiling of the dance floor. "When I've really missed until I almost couldn't make a promise."

Rengga had drunkenly reached the limit of his conscious control until he called out a memory a year ago.

"I want to meet you."

Many want to ask Rengga, talk about, curiosity in the girl has not been extinguished until now. But he had promised Najwa to stay away for a while, which was unexpectedly felt all along. As we know, Rengga is someone who appreciates a promise. Although you have to drink bottles of 'poison' to get through the waiting period.

BRUCK!!

Someone from the direction of the dance floor hit him who was sitting in the stool bar. The man stared cynically and then left.

When many desires are hidden, now have one reason to fight, Rengga chasing a man, pulling his back collar to the upside, dragging him.

SRETT

"From your problems?" A rebellious stranger stood up, pointing his fist at Rengga's face.

BLAMM!!

The woof does not avoid. After the blow, he just moved his jaw to the right-left. For him let this pain seep into his feeling in order to match the pain of his heart at this time.

BLAMM!!

The lingering still silently permeated.

"Now it's the cave's turn." He wants to reply.

The music is played, nobody cares. Meanwhile, they only thought of themselves enjoying this night.

BLAMM!!

Rengga released his fist right in the stomach of the stranger until it bounced into another person.

"Why can't you relax what this mallem is?" Said another person was disturbed.

Crackle

Rengga stretch his fingers and joints, although drunk he is still able to if only beat a few of these people, besides the desire in him must be released.

One was ready to punch him in the face but Rengga dodged, kicking his leg while pushing slamming.

BRUCK!!

A moment a man took a gap elbowing his hard back, and again Rengga let it sink into his body. All this time Rengga had been this hard on himself. As strong as anyone hit him it will not be felt or even recover quickly. But what about his heart? Always weak and fragile.

Rengga pulled the collar of that guy. Throwing his face at the bar table, dragging his face down until the glass of seloki fell.

CRANGS! BRUCK!

No one behind hit him, Rengga had kicked him to the crowd of the dance floor.

Many eyes were on Rengga. The commotion he caused already had no antidote at this time. There's nothing worse than getting drunk at a club, right?

All the men came crashing toward him in front of the bar table.

"Maha.." Rengga chuckled in satisfaction. It was as if he was ready to accept all that pain. Picking up death sooner, he felt it was better, than to live out his anxiety for a year.

THE SRAKK!

Suddenly someone appeared. The arm with the burn pulled the stool bar from the direction the men were coming from. Make their steps all stop.

"Gua's ready to fight all of them if you go forward."

Saga pointed the stool bar in front of many people in front of him. Pras and Keni protect Rengga from behind Saga. They came to keep their promise to return to pick up Rengga.

"This person is the head of the Golden Eagle organization right?" Knock someone.

"According to his characteristics, yes."

"Look at his arm."

"The injury was a battle."

Everyone look over.

PRAKK!

Saga smashed the stool bar into Rengga's head without hesitation, which was now unconscious.

Keni stared furiously at Saga's treatment of Rengga.

"Longs can die, Boss. if you often hit it rich." Pras ngasal.

"He's not that weak." Answer the relaxed Saga. "Bopong Rengga, Pras. We'll take him to Headquarters. There's more to it than this."

Saga left the club with everyone stunned by what he had done.

[Hoover High-Technology company tbk has decreased shares by thirty-five percent in the past week.]

A news story this morning.

[The cause of this decline is due to the founder and main owner of Hoover High-Technology Company tbk Dr. Smith Hoover was so ill that he was treated at Rs. Dr. Map of Mangunkusumo (RSCM), Jakarta.]

[Public shareholders are concerned about the issue of cooperation with Reeves Group companies to monopolize the electric vehicle market in Indonesia.]

Alvin's tears fell for a moment. Even though his father was so hard on him, the news of his ailing father scratched his heart.

"Why you?" Lala asked astonished to see Alvin crying while watching a news on television.

Alvin who realized the presence of Lala immediately jolted to wipe his tears while chuckling forcefully. "Ahh. I saw the drama."

Lala was watching Alvin's eyes. "I know you're lying." Just this time he saw Alvin behaving differently.

Silent.

It's like a guy who always wants to look strong. Alvin was reluctant to discuss things that made him weak.

Lala approached. Grabbing Alvin's hand slowly. "You don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me. Just like you taught me that."

Alvin's eyes sparkled like glass, holding a strange feeling that was almost overflowing in the chest.

"We can depend on each other when sad or lonely. Let's be honest and open to each other, Alvin."

Alvin pulled Lala's fingers that were touching until now there was no distance between them. Now her hand grabbed Lala's back tightly, as well as Lala stroking Alvin's hair was soothing.

After a long time. Alvin explained as much as he could. The fact that he had been driven out of the house by his father, and now his father was sick, and also He had promised himself not to return whatever happened. His father's swearing also strengthened the walls he had made. However, he also felt confused where the crying came from tonight.

"You're great. You're holding everything alone." Lala praised. "You dare leave 'heaven' for freedom."

"I don't want that 'paradise. I won't see you, will I, Lala."

Lala's frozen heart melted. Tonight Lala realized that she did not know Alvin completely. He realized also, all this time he was the one who talked more than the squinty guy.

"I have no regrets about my choice. Just, there's a feeling that I don't understand, coming up in the heart."

Lala smiled. He now realized again, that from now on he would start listening to Alvin if sad, offset what Alvin had given so far. Prepare to depend on each other.

"And now I am grateful." Further again. "God has replaced all my weird, by meeting beautiful angels like you."

The north pole followed the melt at Lala whose water had flooded the space between them.

"Thank you, Alvin. I'm also grateful to be part of the story in your life."

Alvin's smile. "I promise to protect you. Make sure you're safe forever."

***

His eyes opened slowly. Found Saga's face in front of her eyes. His head was dizzy feeling heavy, the feeling of influence was still self-controlled.

"Wey boy doesn't love life!" Saying Saga teasingly.

Rengga squinted his eyes trying to focus. I realized it was Saga. Then he closed his eyes again.

"You know you're conscious." Saga said begin. "You've made a lot of order problems, and now it's all rolled up so big."

Pras and Keni beside him listened.

"We're going to war next month."

He looked up from the sofa where he was asleep. Now he is starting to listen seriously.

"It was a boy, his name.." Saga tries to remember. "Who's Pras?"

"Baskara Mahendra's. A first-class student who got Alex into the hospital with severe injuries."

"That dog!" Timpal Keni does not want to lose. "Make the cave shy in the scattered video."

Rengga interrupted asking. "Lu give the boy a chance?"

"That's not what you can let go, Reng. Didiemin is also a danger. Enough 'Jiwo' that we can't conquer." Saga gave a pause. "We set the stage for his own defeat."

"Let's cave a plan." Rengga said straightforwardly.

All of them agreed to solve everything on the eve of the war Retirement later.

***

CCTV footage is being played on someone's phone. Lala entered the hotel room near Keni who was sitting in front of a mirror and drank a drink of wine once.

CCTV moved to the bed area. Keni kissed Lala's cheek and played with her cheek hair. The man brought the video closer.

Somehow this guy was able to get CCTV footage on a dark night for Lala.

He chuckles. While playing with himself, enjoy what happens there until it runs out. Wild fantasies of a secret admirer.

He was watching something happen. Enjoy every loot of war around him.

Stringing up all the storylines to get what he wants.

Slowly but surely in the end the scenario will reach its peak.

"Gua will get you, Lala." Speak with a disguised voice. "All your heart or your body. And the cave will get rid of everything that blocks the cave."

He continued with a chuckle as if everything was under the control of his will. A clown, playing a card over a person who is playing a card.
