The bent face was seen from a man wearing a black shirt who was sitting in the passenger seat of a car that cut through the streets this morning. Because Rama was very distrustful of Vishnu, Rama ordered the driver to take Vishnu to campus as well as when Vishnu came home later. For the next few days or maybe for a long time, Vishnu is not allowed to drive on his own. It is feared that the man will run away like that time, and make Rama a little overwhelmed to overcome the child berandalnya.
Along the way Vishnu did not open his lips to start a conversation with a driver in a white uniform who was driving a car. Silence was created between the two of them. Only the sound of music and vehicles on the streets became a travel companion this time. Even Vishnu left his phone lying next to him, he already had no interest in anything now including holding his phone.
As usual, they stopped at a red light. Wait for a while, and the highlight of Vishnu who was originally straight forward he turned to the left side of the car to see the road from the other side.
Iris eyes Vishnu caught a flower shop. The flower is not far ahead. There was a strange feeling when Vishnu passed by the flower shop, like there was something he should be doing right now.
"Peace up." According to Vishnu's orders, the driver stopped the car on the side of the road. "I want to buy flowers, wait here." Without waiting for the driver to ask Vishnu first tell the reason why the car that split the road stopped.
The driver sitting in the steering chair just nodded. Vishnu's words were like an inviolable order when he should have just come down and bought the flower, but like he was afraid of Rama he was also afraid of his son. The man's career and life depend on Rama and his son.
Vishnu ran a small approach to the flower shop that had passed quite far. With a slightly stingy breath Vishnu stood in front of the flower shop that only contained him and the seller. The eyes of Vishnu see one by one the flowers arranged neatly. Ranging from red roses, white roses, even black roses. There are also jasmine, frangipani, sun, tulip, seruni, baby breath, lavender, to hibiscus, various flowers are sold in this flower shop.
Vishnu's hands touched one flower at a time there. His eyes were taken around to see the flowers that had been decorated in such a way around the store. During this time he always passed this flower shop, but only today Vishnu's feet were invited to step in and around this place.
Iris Vishnu is locked in one of the bouquets in the corner of the store. Beautiful flowers that attract the corner of Vishnu's lips. The man had already decided that the flower he would buy. He called the seller at the store, gave him some money and took out a bouquet of flowers that had already made him fall in love.
...***...
Vishnu got out of the car, he left a bouquet of flowers that he had bought in the car. Before that Vishnu had asked for the driver to wait for him at the campus until he came home and also kept the bouquet of flowers that he had bought.
"Young Master!" Vishnu clucked, just now he walked a few steps away from the car the sound of the Glory already echoed in the ears.
Vishnu did not turn or turn to Gilang, to just glance no. He let Gilang himself approach him and stand in front of him. Where there is Gilang there is also Baim, the two men like they can not be separated.
"You okay?" That was the first sentence from Gilang once a friend of Vishnu's age was already standing in front of him. Vishnu slightly frowned, whether Gilang asked like that because he saw a bandage on the forehead, or a bruise on the face, or because he had gone home and was found by Rama.
"I'm sorry, I can't take care of you. Sorry, I'm so regret." That the next sentence Gilang made the forehead wrinkles in Vishnu disappear. He knew now what these words of Gilang meant, the man knew where they were heading. He also knew that Gilang was the one who told him where Vishnu was, so Gilang said something like this.
"Why?" Gilang slightly jolted with Vishnu's question this time. Men who were friends of Vishnu since they were children did not expect Vishnu to know the meaning of his words. Maybe Rama told Vishnu, thought Gilang.
"Gu-gue can't do anything, Wis. Bokap I was told to nyari lo, wherever we have to obey what bokap lo said, because bokap lo who holds the company completely, not lo. I love my family more, Wis." He explained it to Vishnu. He was so afraid that Vishnu was angry but Gilang would accept Vishnu's anger this time, because he knew he was guilty. He could not keep Vishnu's trust in him.
"Gue is disappointed with you," pressed Vishnu, throwing his gaze from Gilang. Glazed a little down, he knew he was wrong.
"Wait, why? How come all of a sudden?" Baim looks like a stranger who suddenly gets into a friendship and between them discusses personal issues.
"What do you mean by two words, what?" Vishnu turned to look at Baim. The man snorted he did not expect Gilang to actually keep the promise not to tell Vishnu what happened to Baim and Arfin.
"Wis, why? What did you mean, what the hell was that?" Vishnu did not answer even he waltzed away from the place after nudging the shoulders of Gilang rough.
Gilang followed Vishnu away and Baim followed his two friends with question marks because his questions were not answered. "Lang, why the hell? And Vishnu why too?" Baim continued to ask even as they were already walking in the campus lobby.
"No papa," replied Gilang. Baim did not stay still, he changed to approach Vishnu who was far ahead of him.
Baim came patting Vishnu on the shoulder. "Lo why, Wis? What did you mean, Gilang?" Gilang who saw Baim wondered at Vishnu after approaching Vishnu as well.
"Udahlah, Im. This is none of your business" said Gilang as soon as he walked next to Baim.
"Lo ran away from home, Wis? Why?" Vishnu stopped, he looked at Baim for a while without any intention to answer. After that he returned to set foot a little faster to be able to avoid the two humans.
"Lo, what the hell am I? I know nothing about Vishnu. I also won him," Baim said as soon as they entered the class that was quite crowded.
Gilang's eyes locked on Vishnu who had sat earlier than them. Usually he waits for Gilang to sit and he sits. But now, the man sitting by the window seemed to have changed. Gilang sighed heavily, his mistake this time was already great. Moreover, he knew what the consequences of this action were. Vishnu was beaten by Rama's men until he had to have wounds on his forehead and on his arms. Abi Gilang had told Gilang last night about Vishnu's situation, making Gilang's guilt even greater.
Gilang sat next to Vishnu this time, followed by Baim sitting next to Gilang and casually Baim waved his hand at Vishnu as a sign of greeting even though he knew he would not be responded by the empress, and Baim waved his hand at Vishnu as a sign of greeting, there is no harm in trying to be friendly.
Gilang looked at Vishnu with a regretful look at the man who was now looking at the campus view from the window. Gilang is also human, he is aware of the economic condition of his family. Vishnu has helped him a lot even for work that until now still makes the Gilang family not starve to death. Gilang knew he was wrong, but Gilang was helpless.
Gilang and Vishnu did not start a chat after the incident in the campus parking lot earlier. Only Baim was noisy and trying to melt the atmosphere. Gilang and Vishnu were immersed in each other's thoughts, even until the three of them came out of the class when the last course was finished Vishnu still did not want to start a chat with Gilang. Though Gilang had sent Vishnu many messages to apologize but not responded at all. Persuading the angry Vishnu is not easy, therefore Gilang must work extra let alone this because of his own fault.
"Hi, Bro!" sapa Arfin joined the three friends. Just like Baim earlier, Arfin also felt that there was an oddity here. As different as usual, there was tension and awkwardness between the four of them.
Arfin scratched his non-itchy nape. "Why? Very awkward," asked Arfin accompanied by the stiffness to melt the atmosphere that was like being at the North Pole.
"Don't do it, you'll be sprayed again" Baim recalled hitting Arfin's arm. Arfin scoffed, he just nodded. Come to think of Baim's words as not wrong, he was only able to reconcile with Vishnu three days ago, so it's not funny if he makes a fuss again.
The four of them really looked like strangers walking together up to the parking lot of Binawa University. Vishnu precedes Arfin and the others to approach the car. The car contains the driver and also a bouquet of flowers in the passenger seat. Vishnu opened his car door, but when the look in his eyes found that there was Eleena not far from there, Vishnu undo the intention to sit down. His hand moved to pick up the bouquet of flowers lying in the passenger seat.
With the smile she showed on her face, Vishnu slightly ran to approach Eleena. And that's what stopped the third step of Vishnu's friends, they saw Vishnu with a smile running towards Eleena. What an unexpected new sight.
"El," call Vishnu. Eleena turned her head, she returned Vishnu's smile first. Ah, shit, just a smile that shows Eleena's teeth has made Vishnu as if melted. The girl took off the earphones she was wearing and she put them inside the Tote bag she placed on her left shoulder.
"Why?" ask Eleena. "Lo okay? This still hurts?" Eleena touched the bandage on Vishnu's forehead and produced a soft ringing of the man. "Sorry, " said Eleena.
Vishnu did not dispute that, even Vishnu's cheeks look flushed. Iris Eleena glanced down and she found there was a bouquet of flowers with many flowers inside. Among them, red roses, tulips, sunflowers, lavender and two white roses add beauty to the bouquet of flowers that Vishnu is holding.
"Who are you for?" Vishnu began to divert attention to the bouquet of flowers in his grasp. "Make a girl lo ya," teased little Eleena chuckle.
"No, this is for you." Vishnu thrust the bouquet into Eleena and stopped Eleena's laughter in an instant. The girl pointed at herself with her index finger and Vishnu nodded.
"O-okay, thanks." Eleena took the bouquet of flowers in doubt. It is very strange that Vishnu gave a bouquet of flowers to Eleena considering their relationship is not good as well.
"Just say thank you from me because you helped me yesterday" said Vishnu. Eleena takes away all doubts and bad thoughts about the man before her once the sincere words of Vishnu are spoken. Only time did Eleena feel sincerity in Vishnu's words.
"El's Oath, you're so cool. How do you attack those people, give them a sharp look and beat them using makeshift tools even though you are female. Lo it's really cool, even I don't think you can bring a car that fast, I've never been able to be that fast even though I often bring a car erratic."
"Aaaa, thank you." Eleena unknowingly pinched Vishnu's cheek.
"Woi sick!" pekik Vishnu held his cheek that had just been pinched by Eleena especially there was bruised from yesterday.
"I'm sorry, not intentionally." Eleena blew on Vishnu's cheek as he pinched earlier. Eleena's treatment again melts Vishnu's heart. This girl in front of him looked very special even as she blew Vishnu's cheek. The man was immersed in Eleena's charm especially when the girl's hair fell blocking part of her pretty face. Eleena's hair is pigtied and there are black clasps decorated by white beads around it makes Vishnu drown will charm this girl.
"When were they that close?" arfin Gumam. Baim who heard Arfin muttering glanced at the man who was staring at the moment of Vishnu and Eleena focus.
Baim slightly harrumphed amusedly, he thought there would be a love triangle story after this. In addition to Arfin, Gilang, and Baim who saw the moment between Vishnu and Eleena there is also Melinda who stands far behind Eleena.
"May he dare to be close to the Son of Aksanta." Melinda frowned, shaking her head. Of the many drama quarrels between Vishnu and Eleena they have a romantic moment.
Melinda doesn't care about Eleena being close to anyone, to Melinda's surprise was Eleena who still dared to approach the Son of Aksanta even when she had heard the quarrel between Arjuna and his family Sinta about the Aksanta family. Eleena is reckless, she likes things that are often forbidden. Including friends with the Son of Aksanta. If their families knew Eleena was close enough to Vishnu, although close this time only a time ago they were busy fighting but still it was a mistake and would cause wrath in the big family.
