Hardy made a plan, after Axel's tour work was completed, Axel was asked to return to the village and return to live life as Hardy, a ponakan owner of a grocery store.
Axel was willing but stressed that whatever happens behind the day should be Hardy's responsibility. Hardy agreed, for a while, to make this exchange for one week when Axel's tourist work was carried out.
The tour schedule ends, Axel is getting ready to go home. The handsome teenager sat alone waiting for his departure back to the city, Yadi came to him. Axel was asked to follow Yadi, they met with Hardy.
"Promise you'll be back, I'm looking forward to your arrival as soon as possible, Ok!" hardy asked as he extended his hand to shake his hand.
Axel turned his head towards Yadi, the man just shook his head slowly while shrugging his shoulders. Axel turned his head back to Hardy who was still extending his hand.
"Everything that happens is your responsibility, Bang Yadi testified. I don't want to be blamed for all your plans" Axel said.
"Deal" said Hardy, shaking his hand.
Axel welcomed the hand, they agreed to meet in a few days. Axel also returned to his tour troupe. Back to the Cullen house. Axel immediately completed the task of his tourism work. The intelligent child easily makes a report despite not attending any activities. His knowledge of the places he wanted to visit exceeded the knowledge of his friends who visited directly to the location.
The invisible Axel during the work of tourism is not a concern for people, because Axel is happy to be alone. I don't like to hang out, laugh and spend time with my classmates. Provided that he came in time while gathering at the inn would all be safe.
And now Axel has boarded an inter-city bus to return to the small town to execute Hardy's plans. Axel's busy parents never took care of his son's activities. Spoiled times with parents have passed since Axel occupied the Junior High.
Axel's parents assumed his son was old enough to live his own life. The intelligent child is considered capable of making his own life decisions. Axel's parents assume that as long as the facilities are provided, teenagers of that age actually want to have a personal life that does not want to be disturbed.
Axel's intelligent son and character Axel is not a destructive or rebellious character and it makes his parents trust him to freely leave his son to take care of their company in America.
However, without them realizing behind Axel's silence stored sadness because of feeling ignored, longing for parental affection and loneliness. Because most of the days at home or at school are passed alone. This continued until the boy entered High School.
Teen Axel feels more happy alone. But grateful that the child prefers to read books in living his solitude.
And this time Axel found something new, meeting people who needed it. Talk to her every day, ask her opinion all the time and care about her.
Axel officially replaced Hardy's position at the boy's uncle's house. While he works full time at restaurants and lives in restaurant warehouses. The dining and bed are all covered by the restaurant. Making Hardy's heart happy, imagining his whole income in his pocket.
Occasionally meet Axel with the help of Yadi to ask for clothes and other necessities. Next Axel lived life as Hardy, the nephew of the uncle who did not have children. Axel gets an overflow of attention and affection because according to the uncle, Hardy has changed. Smarter, more obedient and more work spirit. The uncle and his wife are increasingly fond of Hardy which incidentally is Axel.
In every opportunity Axel gave his views and opinions on how to trade well. Although surprised by Hardy's change but because it's happy that the uncle does not care about the change that is so striking.
"Hardy, please send this order to Yusuf sir's shop!" budi sir orders in a soft tone.
"Well Uncle, which one is Uncle Yusuf?" ask Axel aka Hardy.
"Well, did you forget? Mr. Yusuf who has a stall and a beautiful girl," said Budi.
"What a beautiful girl? I'm jealous sir" said Aunt Hayati.
"Oh that, the daughter of Mr. Joseph, Hardy himself who said that the daughter of Mr. Joseph was beautiful. So Mr. ingetin him ma'am, let him remember," said Budi.
Where I remember, I never met him, inner Axel.
"Sir Joseph on the right or the left of Uncle?" axel asked trying to find information.
"Is there another Joseph?" ask Budi.
"Yesterday someone was shopping, I asked his name he said Mr. Yusuf so I think he's our customer as well" Axel explained.
Although he felt astonished and thought hard but Uncle Budi, did not know any other named Joseph.
Maybe a regular buyer, I don't know any other Yusuf customer's name, Inner Budi.
"The one on the left is my son, the stall is about three hundred meters from here" explained Budi.
"Oh, Mr. Yusuf that, well Uncle," said Axel directly.
Ride on a motorcycle carrying ordered goods. Axel thought the stall was three hundred meters to the left. And it's true Axel saw a stall that provides a place for people to sit around while drinking coffee or ordering instant noodles.
Axel knocked on the deserted stall table, there was no guard.
"Excuse me, Mr. Yusuf!" call Axel.
"Oh Brother Hardy! Take orders, brother?" ask a girl who just came out from behind the curtain door.
Meaning right, there was her daughter and indeed ordered things on Uncle, Inner Axel.
"Yusuf's brother is there? Is this the bon?" ask Axel.
The man wanted to be more convincing if the owner of the shop was indeed named Joseph.
"Sir Hardy is there, 'is usually this clock still in the village, '" replied the girl timidly.
Means right named Yusuf, have a daughter and beautiful as the uncle said earlier, Inner Axel.
"Sit down first, brother, I take the money first" said the girl.
Axe nodded then looked around the contents of the stall, there were various small foods, sachet drinks hanging in line. Full showcase of light drinks. The girl appeared and saw Axel who was staring at the showcase.
"Sister Hardy's thirsty? I'll make you some iced tea?" ask the girl.
"Oh no need, I was in a hurry to fear that there was more work from Uncle," replied Axel. The girl laughed.
"Why?" ask Axel.
"Usually if offered a drink Kak Hardy would want and even like to linger here. Brother Hardy said it's really bad to quickly go back to the store. Afraid of another job again" said the girl again laughing.
Axel nodded with a smile, only knowing one trait of Hardy. Axel wants to know Hardy's relationship with the girl but doesn't know how to break it.
"How long have we known each other?" ask Axel.
"I remember when I was in second grade Junior High and Hardy's third grade Junior High" replied the girl.
"It's been a while, too, almost a year?" axel.
"Yes, but .." said the girl cut off.
"So long ago Brother Hardy .. still playing tricks on me, like like, like not like, Brother Hardy, I do not like to see Brother talking to Siti. Siti always said that Kak Hardy has been dating her, is that right, Sis? Hardy's sister is dating him? Siti said Hardy's sister kissed her, right? Then what about me, Brother Hardy also once said like me, if I am also Kak Hardy's girlfriend," said the girl with teary eyes.
Shit, it turns out Hardy's a Playboy, spread the charm here and there, pity this girl, inner Axel.
Axel who never cared about a girl's feelings before now has to deal with a girl who demands a statement of love from him. At school, Axel never even knew the faces of his classmates.
"Sorry yes, I can't answer now, I go first yes," said Axel who immediately took payment from the goods ordered by Mr. Joseph.
The man immediately walked towards his motorbike. Look back at the girl. The girl looked down while wiping her tears. Axel's heart was filled, did not like to see Hardy's attitude toying with the girl who was still sitting on the Junior High School bench.
Axel returned to the grocery store with a raging mind.
I can't interfere, it's Hardy's business. I can't relate to anything emotional, inner Axel.
The man returned to the shop but his mind was still left in the shop of Mr. Joseph. Although he did not want to think about it but since seeing his expression, the shadow of the girl could not escape from his mind anymore. The girl's gaze was as if she was waving at him hoping for certainty from him.
Axel decided not to care about the girl's feelings because in his mind what the girl expected was not him. What the girl loved was not herself and Axel wished he could be indifferent to her.
Axel returned to his day as Pak Budi's nephew and when there was a chance to meet with Hardy, Axel immediately berated the man for his actions that gave false hope to Mr. Joseph's daughter.
"Hani? She's beautiful, I love her, but I don't dare go too far on her. I'm afraid of Mr. Yusuf. If Siti is free, her parents are also free-spirited. After all Siti is hot, if seduced he wants to give anything. If Hani can only give you a kiss, at least" Hardy explained.
"What's? Have you guys gotten that far? Crazy still third grade Junior High?" ask Axel.
"Wait for what class? Who still survives virgins until the third grade Junior High in this village. Yes, at least Hani is because everyone is afraid of his fierce father" explained Hardy.
"Trus if Siti is holding her accountable how? I don't want to interfere in your business. If they hold me accountable, I'll keep our secret ...,"
"Don't! Take it easy, Siti can't possibly hold us accountable ...,"
"We? Loe kali," Axel interrupted.
"YES! it means it's me, because the jebolin he first is not me. And after me, he also deket same other guys, so I'm safe!" exciting Hardy.
Axel angrily turned his gaze the other way. Fed up after knowing the nature of Hardy who adheres to promiscuity.
"Loe doesn't like any of them? They are the flowers of this village," said Hardy.
"No! I don't want to be involved with your romantic affairs" Axel said firmly.
"Yes already!" said Hardy.
And that's it, all just venting. Axel who often deliver orders to Mr. Yusuf more often met with Hani. Axel was forced to always cheer the girl's heart by saying that he had nothing to do with Siti.
But that only makes them closer. The sincerity of Hani's steadfast heart waiting for the certainty of love from him even though he did not get recognition from Hardy made Axel's heart melt.
"I like you Hani, I love you" said Axel finally after not being able to see the tears of the girl who melted when telling stories about rumors of Hardy's relationship with Siti.
"So Brother Hardy does not love Siti?" ask Hani.
Axel shook his head, having once met a girl named Siti who suddenly called him and invited him to play at the girl's house.
"Sister Hardy, to my house yuk! Mom and Dad went to Grandma's house, they stayed there. Stay with me tonight at yuk's house! I was afraid to be alone" said Siti.
If not for wanting to maintain decency, Axel might have vomited by then. A girl takes a boy to stay at her house when her parents leave. Axel shook his head strongly, that second Axel asked firmly to the girl named Siti if she was not interested in a relationship with him anymore.
"Kok Brother Hardy that's it? After what we did. Did Brother Hardy cut ties with me?
" ask Siti.
"That did that to you is a lot. So take them, if I've had enough. I can't continue any relationship with you, a friend, a date, or a relationship without status - none of us. You can easily find other men as my replacement," said Axel firmly.
"Why? Is it because of that Hani? Did Brother Hardy pick him? Does Brother Hardy like him? Love her?" cecar Siti's.
"Yes, yes, yes, I chose him, I liked him, I loved him," Axel said.
Initially the speech was only to drive away the girl named Siti but the news was widespread. Because of the annoyance Siti confided in her male friends, if Hardy refused and chose Hani. Though Siti did that to gain sympathy from other men in the village but because of the courage Axel liked the daughter of a fierce father, they felt salute and news spread.
Hani was happy to hear the news and immediately asked Axel. Axel who did not have the heart to hurt Hani finally agreed. Since then Hani has been Axel's girlfriend. Although the man's heart was still half certain.
Over time, their relationship became more serious. Until the time Axel had to return to the city continue his school because the holiday period has run out. Axel tells Hardy everything that he has expressed love for Hani, and hopes that Hardy will seriously continue his love for Hani.
Hardy sees a sense of reluctance in Axel leaving Hani. Hardy used it to convey his plan.
"We continue this identity exchange, I'll be back in town replacing loe while loe stays here dating Hani. How's it?" ask Hardy.
"Where it can be, you'll meet with my schoolmates. My parents, if they come back from abroad. It can be like that" Axel said.
"Hey, Axel. I just met the people around me. I have no problem, even you have taken my target girl. For me it doesn't matter either, why it's my turn to enter the life of loe, loe not permission" asked Hardy.
"Because I'm afraid you're going to ruin my life" Axel replied.
"No, I'm going to act like a loe. Now that you've ruined my life, I don't have a problem. Loe has accepted the love of the girl whose father is fierce. In the eyes of his fierce father, I'm his son's girlfriend. I'm! Is it no problem?" ask Hardy.
Axel was stunned, half his heart did not want to leave Hani to the man in front of him. The other half feared that the life of an Axel was damaged because of the man's behavior. However, Axel has been in love with Hani and does not want to leave him.
Axel finally agreed to an extension of their identity exchange.
"But with the rule of each date one we exchange places again. We go back to each other's lives every time on the first date. If we want to extend the date one month next we do another exchange. I have to go back to monitor my life you've lived for a month" Axel suggested.
That's fine, once a month to become a rich man, inner Hardy.
"Alright, agree" said Hardy.
They agreed to extend the identity exchange once a month. A month of being who you really are, a month of being someone else. At first the deal was only for one month. However, with each reason, the exchange ended up lasting for months.
