Alisha hung up her phone with an annoyed and slightly angry tone. His disappointed face that he could not hide, Suddenly he cried remembering the day of his graduation when the 6th grade to smp, the time where the father was still at his side.

"Let's.. Daddy.. So sweet really, but for the sake of daddy I will continue to try to make daddy proud " said Alisha excitedly

"You've made daddy proud all this time, you're champion 1 every year, you're also Olympic champion of mathematics, you know daddy proud dear.. And you know that because every time you complain, daddy is the first person who will always get excited about you, this daddy has a necklace for you, let you always remember daddy wherever and whenever, Take care of your self.. Wherever and whenever ok "Say the father while putting his necklace on little Alisha and holding her affectionately.

Since then Steve from afar noticed Alisha while listening to Alisha talk with his brother, then Steve walked closer to Alisha without Alisha knowing, Steve took out his handkerchief and wiped the tears on Alisha's cheek gently.

"Steve's? "Ask Alisha in wonder, while taking the handkerchief Steve held and then wiping it himself

"I saw you crying and I came here.. " Steve said as he looked at Alisha and sat next to her.

"Emmm.. Hehe.. Excuse me.. I just put in dust.. " Alisha told a lie.

"I know what Alisha really is, but you don't want people to know about your grief, about your grief, you're sometimes hard to guess, but somehow I can't stay away let alone stop caring about you Alisha.. " Steve said in his heart

"oh yes, will your brother El be present? " ask Steve again

"no, he called me earlier, and he said he couldn't come because there was a task that couldn't be left behind" replied Alisha.

"then let me come to accompany you and be your guardian later, how? "

"what's not a hassle? I'm just afraid of troubling Steve"

"No Alisha, I never felt bothered by you, so deal yes, I'll accompany you at your graduation inauguration"

"All right Steve" Alisha said with a smile

"oh yes, I came here to return this handkerchief, but now this handkerchief is wet with your tears.. I'm sorry if I can just give it back now because yesterday I went out of town" Steve said

"haha it's okay Steve, I also know because Al has told me " said Alisha again.

"oh yes I heard also that Al will fill the event at your place, he was invited to give a speech, about the Adinata company that he managed to succeed, he said, because he has entered the list of successful CEOs at a young age in Indonesia with a myriad of achievements! " said Steve to tell.

"Really's? wow that's really cool I think "Alisha replied with a proud laugh.

"You're lucky to have him" said Steve

"I also feel that way Steve, thank you "

"for what? "

"Udah told me about this, you know, actually I am also proud to have a best friend who is cool, smart, macho, elegant, and handsome like you " alisha said as she looked at Steve.

Steve was only silent when Alisha spoke to him, as if Steve was stunned to hear Alisha's words and Alisha's sharp eyes on him.

"Steve plis lo pliiss self-control, this is not the right time, please Alisha do not look at me rich gini, it feels like my heart is about to explode, see Alisha's face this instant, see Alisha face, as if he wanted to kiss my lips, Please Steve keeps cool, relax, and relax... Oh shit I can't!!! " Steve spoke in his heart.

"Is there a Steve your face is so tense? " Tanya Alisha was astonished and then sat down next to Steve.

"emmm Alisha, excuse me to go to the toilet first.. "

"ok Steve. " answered Alisha casually.

Steve walked to the toilet, when he got to the toilet he looked at the glass, as if he was looking at himself and was disappointed in himself.

"Steve..lo look at yourself!! you are so bad!! you loser!! you care about your friends, but you don't care about yourself!! Steve wake up!! he's your best friend's girlfriend, you should be aware of that, you can't expect much! Alisha belongs to people now! Steve wake up!! " said Steve in the mirror and slapped both of his cheeks

"Either till when should I be rich in gini, cover up the pain with pain again?!! I don't think I can do it, but I also have to realize that Alisha likes Al not me, Alisha is happy just like Al is not the same me, come on Steve wake up, wake up from your dream now! he can't possibly be yours until anytime !!" steve said to himself.
