"Don't shout, if you don't want to get into trouble" Ridwan threatened in a soft voice. His eyes stared intently at Archi's eyes. Making Archi shudder in fear. His heart began to pump blood at full speed.
Archi shook his head. His voice that was held under Ridwan's hand shook.
"Don't be afraid Archi. I'm not gonna do anything about you. I just want to talk to you." said Ridwan Lirih let go of the silence.
Archi who felt tight could breathe a sigh of relief even though his breathing still felt heavy for now.
"If you're okay with me, why have you come this far?" asked Archi with a gasp of breath.
"Deflect your voice!" pinta Ridwan whispered. "Later people outside can hear us" he continued.
"I'm here so you can talk to me. You avoided talking to me." - Ridwan.
"Archi, don't be mad at me anymore. I beg!" he put up his puppy eyes. Making Archi fixated and his face turned red.
"I was too emotional last night so talk bad. You want to apologize to me?" ask her in a soft voice.
"Cock...!" someone outside tried to open the bathroom door.
Ridwan put his index finger on Archi's lips so as not to make a sound.
"The door is broken, right? How can it not be opened?" the woman said and was heard walking away.
"Come on Archi.I beg you!" talk to Ridwan again after the woman outside leaves.
"If not, we'll be here a little longer. Do you want that?" ask Ridwan.
"This is called coercion!" sulcan Archi's.
Ridwan laughed satisfied.
"Whatever you think we can be friends again" he said.
"alright. I forgive you for this time and don't repeat." Archi accepted Ridwan's apology on strict terms.
"Yes Archi. Promise!" ridwan smiled.
"And never give me another gift let alone an expensive one!" added Archi gave his terms again.
"Yes, if the treat is eating with another but can you?" Ridwan is heard asking for leniency from Archi's terms.
"Yes" replied Archi.
"Okay, deal!" Ridwan smiled broadly.
"When do you want to keep me like this?" ask Archi.
"Oh yes," Ridwan rewinded his body. Make room for Archi.
"I want to get out" Archi said, unlocking her bathroom door and rushing away from the bathroom.
Ridwan smiled meaningfully inside the women's bathroom. Until a woman enters the bathroom.
"Manager!" his screeches.
"Duh...I got the wrong bathroom, huh? Sorry yes!" said Ridwan pretend.
"Sorry...!" he said it again before he got out of the ladies' bathroom.
"Sir Ridwan is very strange. Lest he end up being perverted? Ih scared!" thought the woman went into the bathroom.
"I can't fight with you at least Archi. Especially until we stop being friends. Just being around you makes me happy." Ridwan's inner voice cheerfully walked back to his room.
"Whoever, my heart felt relieved after I made up with Ridwan." Archi's inner. He smiled at the table.
Andini who noticed Ridwan's already radiant face passing in front of Archi's desk, and Archi who also looked happy, became suspicious.
"They both look happy. Not rich just now. Are they okay, okay?" think Andini.
"Something weird is also looking at Archi. She's got a husband, but if she's with Ridwan she looks happy. Indeed, Archi had always liked Ridwan. But..., I've done it! Why am I so dizzy thinking about it." said inner Andini did not want to take a headache.

By Irene's pizza.....
Agust crouches in front of the resto while typing a message for Archi in the messaging app.
^^^"Have you gone home yet Archi?"^^^
The message Agust sent. Without August realizing it, Irene stood behind her behind the glass wall of the restaurant, reading the message that Agust sent.
^^^"Again on the bus . . Soon to arrive,"^^
Reply messages from Archi arrived quickly.
Reply Agust.
^^^^^^"Oke 👍"^^^^^^^
After peeking at Agust sending a message, Irene went to her room.
Not long after. The entrance of the restaurant opened, Irene with her bag sling bag walked out.
"Gust!" call Irene. Agust standing.
"Yes Miss Irene?" sahut Agust's.
"You haven't come home yet?" tanya Irene was stale.
"A little while,"
"Oh, can you take me home?" ask Irene.
"Eu..how are you?" Agust was confused as to what to answer. He wants to refuse because he wants to go home with Archi but he is also not comfortable if he has to refuse the request of his superiors who have well received him work.
"From here to Miss Irene's house is close. At most only a moment can arrive. Maybe I can come back here before Archi gets off the bus" Agust thought.
"Yes Miss, can," Agust replied in the end.
Agust also drove Irene home using a motor resto.
When Agust just came out of the shophouse complex, Archi got off the bus and saw Agust who was piggybacking Irene behind him.
"Gust!" she whispered with disappointment.
"He said he wanted to go home together, but he was the same woman again" Archi murmured.
Archi waited in front of the shophouse hoping that Agust would come soon.
^^^"I'm in front of the shophouse, Gust!"^^^
Archi sent out his message and hoped that Agust would be able to speed up whatever he had to do now.
Ten minutes passed but Agust had not yet come or replied to a message from him.
Meanwhile, what Agust is currently doing is waiting for Irene to pick up the clothes that she is laundry near there.
"Old, yeah!" agust was complaining.
"Archi must have gotten off the bus by now," he thought to see his cell phone dead from running out of battery.
Five minutes later Irene came out of the laundry.
"I'm sorry, old," said Irene carrying a large bag of her neat clothes in the laundry.
Agust got off the bike and helped Irene carry her laundry bag.
"I usually wash myself but yesterday I was very busy so I haven't had time to purify" Irene explained.
Agust just smiled lightly in response to her. There was a slight annoyance in his heart as it made him have to wait for a long time even though he had an appointment with Archi.
On Agust's return from taking Irene. Archi was no longer in his place. He walked alone back to his home.
Her night..
"Sorry yes, we did not go home together" said Agust with great regret.
"So boss I asked for anterin to come home. I don't want to anterin first. I think it will be a while, the old question because he went to the laundry first," explained Agust.
"Yes, it's okay. I understand," Archi replied with a smile. In his heart he was angry.
"Maybe his boss ask for anther to go home with all the laundry!" archi's annoyance in the heart.
...****************...
The next day ....
Since morning Archi felt a little bad. There was a feeling of uneasiness that he did not understand the reason. But as much as possible Archi does not care about his feelings and diverts with work.
Especially during the break, when he, three friends and Ridwan spent his rest time chatting and eating in the cafeteria.
There were no ugly thoughts in Archi's heart. And he felt it was just a normal feeling until a news was received.
His mother called Archi at 3 p.m. Mom's voice panicked and tucked in sobs. Archi surged from his seat, standing with his body trembling violently and heartbeats beating rapidly. His eyes were perfectly rounded and his trembling lips were twisted.
Andini, Susan and Icha looked towards Archi with question marks.
