Escape Soul Raga
Bilim Vs Rendo

Kha'an escorts Gheya back to the kosan, and Bilim peeks out from behind the curtain. He felt that his love rival was no longer there, meaning that the cooperation with Gheya had succeeded.

"Yes, Asitha will be mine alone. Hihihi..." Laughing to myself, like crazy.

"Thank you, Gheya, for letting me drive you" Kha'an said.

"There's no other choice, because you're the only one offering. But thanks, it should be said to me."

Kha'an smiled. "Relax, I'm not insinuating you. I'm just saying, what do I want to say."

"Oh that's it." Gheya turned to the window where Bilim lived, then saw the person who was focusing on peeping.

"I'll go home first." Though Kha'an hoped to be offered entry, and given a drink first.

"Alright, be careful on the road." replied Gheya.

"Eumh..." Kha'an just cleared his throat.

The next day on campus, Theyo and Arya were passing Business Economics class. He hears Julian talking, who is badmouthing Gheya.

"Kha'an, you have to remember one thing. Conflict that ever happened in SMK school, how Gheya chased you" said Rendo.

"I remember, but I don't want to talk about it anymore. Now all I remember, is about me and him. We are not in the past, but in the present with a better relationship." replied Kha'an.

"You don't have to be with him, you can still find another woman. He is not good at hanging out, always be quiet." said Rendo.

"Here you go, don't keep fighting him. You don't like it, but I like it. You could say, you have to consider him a friend to appreciate a friendship." Kha'an explained.

Aryo and Theyo are busy nudging Bilim's arm, who is engrossed in holding a cell phone. They complain about Julian, who talks bad things about Gheya.

"I'll teach him a lesson, with that he will be ashamed." replied Bilim.

Bilim deliberately invited to compete in motorcycle racing with Rendo, because he defended Gheya. Rendo laughs with Kha'an, who seems to defend his friend earnestly.

"I wonder, why are you so shameless. If defending him becomes your habit, why not be his girlfriend" said Rendo.

"Clear with your judgment, I don't care. I just need a ready statement or not." Bilim really challenged him.

Rendo smiled mockingly, tilting his lips to the left. He invited Bilim, to choose the bike first. Bilim checks the steering wheel of the motor, making sure it is comfortable to wear.

"Later fall and then know the taste!" fiana joked.

"If I fall, the first person to carry me is Kha'an." replied Rendo, confident.

"Lazy, you better ask for ants' help." Kha'an confirmed the blue collar of the suit, which he wore.

"It's so bad of you!" chirping Rendo.

"Who told you to make me a mount." Kha'an smiled at Gheya, until he displayed a row of his teeth.

Gheya went away for a moment from the race course, taking shelter in a place that was more protective from the sun. Fiana and Zariy also went elsewhere.

"Why not just look for another place." Zariy was busy wagging her sultry neck.

"Here alone, there are also those who sell ice around" replied Fiana.

The grilled sausage seller passed by, pushing his wagon closer towards them. Fiana stopped him, then bought some still-warm merchandise.
