I've been sitting opposite a man named Daniel Kurniawan. I decided to explain well to her what happened so she wouldn't expect much from me.
"Why ril? Tumben's meeting? Kangen huh?" Seeing Daniel's high expectations made me nervous and uneasy to explain.
"No, I want to talk seriously." I tried my hardest to fight the bad taste. It's for Aril's good.
"What's wrong?" Looking at the serious me, the witty face slowly changed as seriously as possible to listen.
"Don't expect anything more from me, brother." My spoken.
"Why?"
It's time. "Because the rumors about me being married are true. I'm married brother. And the man I married was Erlang Bagaskara," huh.
Silent
Daniel blinked and laughed later. His face clearly showed disbelief. "Hahaha you're funny ril. How could you marry Mr. Erlang, would you yourself say that Mr. Erlang is your brother-in-law!" His eagle. I was silent to see Daniel laugh without changing his serious face.
Seeing that I had no response at all, the laughter finally stopped. This time he looked at me inside. "You're kidding, aren't you?" The implied eyes full of hope that makes me very unpleasant.
"Do I look like I'm kidding?"
"But at that time you said Mr. Erlang your brother-in-law!" Shall Daniel.
"I was just afraid that my brother would spread the word about my marriage. Considering Erlang is a famous businessman, I don't want to until my tenured life is disturbed. Until I remembered the hope of my brother Daniel who wanted to wait for me, that was when I tried to convey. I don't want Daniel's brother to have too much hope for such an evil woman as me." Obviously I'm at length.
"Do you consider me real? That bad I'm in your eyes? ANSWER RIL!!" I was quite surprised by Daniel's reaction, only I understood Daniel quite well because of my own actions. What I plant is what I will reap.
"You really disappointed me very much." I was silent with a blank look as Daniel walked out of the cafe. Without me noticing a single tear had already seeped out of his hiding place. Daniel's a sincere man. I admit he's a very nice guy, even I'm very comfortable being friends with him. Thanks to a mistake I made, now two friends who used to be there for me have to disappear.
Rubbing rough water on my cheek, I immediately moved after paying if the drink I bought. This time my goal was to meet Anton.

On the other hand, Daniel closed the car door. His head was leaning on the steering wheel with tightly clenched hands.
"YARRRGHHH!!!"
Bugs
The crying came out. Daniel admits he's weak because of love. April is her first love, but who would have thought she would have to be hurt by it. It was still clear how the sense was present entering the recesses of his heart. Make yourself the highest throne.
Being the only son in the family is not easy, especially the family has a business where. And so is Daniel. From childhood, he was forged by his father to become a reliable businessman as a successor figure. To be honest, Daniel was always jealous of his other friends. As a teenager who should be spent having fun, Daniel actually has to learn for the future.
"One more bottle!" Pinta Daniel on the bartender. For the first time Daniel was in a club and consumed the illicit drink. His mind is really fucked. This time his father began to ask him to marry. Decades of Daniel indulged his papa's wishes, studying endless business and giving up his dream of becoming an international chef. Now he is required to immediately find a companion and produce grandchildren. Think of making kids like making plastic?!
Brukh
Still in half-consciousness, Daniel walked irregular typical of drunk people. His mouth was rummaging indistinctly with aimless steps.
Tap
Daniel's steps come to a standstill as a group of thugs head his way. Still in a semi-conscious state, Daniel tries to confront them.
"What?"
"Bos like he's the son of a rich man, must be a lot of money. Pretty boss make a snack!" Said one of the thugs.
The boss smiled and then stepped closer to Daniel who stood staggering due to the influence of alcohol into his body. By forcing the boss to take Daniel's wallet, Daniel fell down on the asphalt.
"Wahhh really the sultan turned out to be the boss. The money's all red!"
The boss grinned, then took all the money out and threw his wallet in Daniel's face. When he turned around, the boss was made to fixate when his other men had run out helpless. In front of him was a woman who looked at him without expression.
"Give me that money!" Said the woman.
"What money?" The boss tried to hide the money he took behind his body, but unfortunately the woman was not easily fooled.
Bugs
One kick was able to make a wad of money fly and land on the asphalt. Not accepting to be treated like that, the boss tried to teach a lesson to the girl who became the hero of Daniel's night. However, the figure of the girl was so reliable in martial arts that it was able to subvert the boss in just a matter of seconds.
After all the thugs had been overthrown, the girl picked up all the money and walked over to Daniel who looked amazed at him. The girl's hand was stretched out, making Daniel unwittingly welcome her who was precisely brushed aside violently by the woman.
The girl took Daniel's wallet and put the money back in. With the initiative of the girl pulled off one taxi. While talking and spending money, the girl goes back to Daniel and helps the man wake up with the help of a taxi driver.
"Yes, ma'am."
*The next day Daniel was clearly scolded by his papa for his behavior which was clearly deviated from his teachings. Daniel really did not care, all he had in mind was the figure of his savior. Daniel's ears were deaf, so his brain was centered on the girl.
Without heeding his father's words, Daniel went to college. At this time his mood really plummeted when his papa again discussed about the prospective wife. There is no end*.
Arriving at the college, Daniel gets out of the car while hearing the screams of admiration from the girls for him. He is not that perfect to be adored. As his gaze swept across the field, the silhouette of someone's familiar-looking body made him fixated. Just as the girl turned around, Daniel's heart beat faster. That figure...
"Arilll" the blaring cries of Nana diverted Daniel's intense. Seeing Nana embrace him, Daniel now believes the girl's name is...
"Pril. Yea?" Unknowingly a sweet smile that expands makes the girls scream with excitement, except for the girl named April Lia.
"So far you've been my encouragement, without you how do I get through this stressful day?" Daniel muttered, hitting the powerful driver.

If Daniel and I meet at the cafe, then with Anton I meet at the library. From a distance, Anton was reading a book seriously. Remembered by me as she cheerfully accepted my refusal and asked to be friends. May I hope Anton doesn't hate me for the fact that I'm married?
"Hi" broom.
"Oh hi, sit down ril." I smiled a little and took a seat in front of him. Anton closed his book while propping his face with a riveting smile.
"Wait long?" I asked stale bases.
"No. Oh yes, he said, saying something. What do you want to say?"
This question. I took a deep breath and took it out slowly to neutralize my nervousness. "I'd like to apologize for lying to you, like everyone else."
"liying? What did you lie about?"
"On me who is married."
Crick
Silent
Anton looks gnawed. "Lo, what was that talking about? Sorry I'm afraid of being wrong" he said.
"No. You're not wrong, I'm married." I clearly.
"Whose same?!" This time his surprise was inevitable. His reaction was very different to Daniel's. Is it just my feelings?
"Erlang Bagaskara."
"Seriously?!" This time I looked at him strangely. There was no sign of Anton's anger.
"Lo.. don't get angry?" Ask wonder.
"Why should I be angry?" Anton asked back which astonished me even more.
"Because I've lied to Lo and made Lo wish me more?" I tried to lure him to get angry.
"I'm not angry. I understand if you choose another one. I've also said, I will accept whoever you choose if that's the center of your happiness. Love is present by taste, not force. So I don't want to impose Lo's feelings if you don't love me. And for Erlang, I think he's a good guy. You will live well with him, no need to think about monthly money for shopping for sure." Obviously Anton while joking at the end of the word.
"Lo... still want to meet me?" I asked expectantly.
"certain. You will always be my friend. If Erlang is sick with Lo, tell me the same let me teach him a lesson!" Without me asking for tears to start to come down. It was unexpected that Anton was as good as it was to accept.
"Lo is very good, even though I was very evil to lie to Lo. But Lo still wants to be friends with me.." Just tell me I'm a crybaby, because really I'm very moved by Anton's mature attitude in thinking.
Pock
"Don't cry. I'm okay with my oath. Since the rejection Lo at that time I have been determined not to take heart let alone revenge that will only make our relationship tenuous. And I also think of you as my own sister. So please don't cry yes..lo ugly if it's crying." I let my tears out wet Anton's shirt. Letting Anton hug me tried to calm me down.
"Thank you Anton"

After my meeting with Anton, I've been standing on the rooftop again. I've ended some of the stories. Just one more. And this is the hardest, I'm afraid to end this story. The sense of being present that made me hesitate to end it.
"I have to how? Erlang,"
