The door to the room is open. I was still sitting on the bed watching the movement of a girl who was taking off her shoes and putting them on the shelf.

"Where did you just get home at this hour?"

My question might surprise him. The girl who was none other than Nana was seen stroking her chest trying to neutralize the shock.

"Aril, how come you're here?" The girl asked slowly walked up to me, sat down at the dresser and picked up an object I didn't know her name to remove the makeup.

"What no. I just want to do it." Silently for a moment, I glanced at Nana who looked busy struggling with her own face in front of the mirror. "Where did you end up coming home at this hour?" Considering this already showed at 9 p.m., obviously I'm worried. Nana works at the restaurant only until 8 o'clock according to the agreement I made with bang Andre. Nana's remaining work hours are usually spent with the salary given to Nana. It's just that for the next few days I want a day off to calm down. Or rather, trying to escape.

"From Arkan's house first. Nana was also accompanied by her family driver Arkan,"

"Oh." I don't remember when Nana and Arkan were this close. Their relationship is indeed close, it's just that Nana is too innocent to respond as now.

Slowly Nana got up from her seat, picked up a towel and took her to the bathroom. Until the sound of the door closing, I was still silent on the bed with a million questions and facts that I received.

I don't understand why things are getting so complicated now. Starting from my marriage to Erlang, until the return of Alfino, and complicated by Ririn who became Alfino's eyes. Why my life is like drama. Moreover, it was a narrow destiny that brought me back together in a marriage bond with Erlang, the young man whom I accidentally stole his first kiss. If only Alfino had not threatened, perhaps his circumstances would not have been this complicated. I could have avenged Erlang, and had a normal marriage with him. But it turns out that destiny doesn't go that smoothly.

The door opened again, from my point of view, Nana walked towards the closet to pick up her nightgown and put it on. After she finished changing clothes, she also laid herself beside me while playing her phone.

"Na" call me slowly.

"Hm?" Still focused on his phone.

"What do you think, if parting is the only way in a relationship, because on the one hand you want to save a loved one." My toot. I don't know why this mouth asked Nana, but I just wanted to ask for enlightenment. And I only have Nana as a friend.

Nana's gaze turned from her phone to me. For a moment he was silent thinking of the right answer to answer the question I asked.

"According to Nana, the decision was wrong. The couple does not believe in their own partner. Everything is not only broken by separation. Should be negotiated first, find a way out together. If it's dead end, there's no way, just make a decision to separate." Nana answered making me stunned. To be honest, I have never negotiated this with Erlang. My fear of being repeated, made me make the stupidest decision without negotiation.

"If you can be happy with each other, why should you hurt each other?" Nana continued to break my focus.

I didn't answer, chose to pull the blanket and lay on Nana's back. I've made my decision, tomorrow I'll meet Erlang to discuss this with him. I don't want to take the stupid decisions I used to, sacrificing my freedom just out of fear. It's time I got up and fought that fear.

***

At a Negri school in the city of Malang. A girl with a beautiful face was seen walking down the corridor with her cold gaze. Behind the girl, a man continued to follow her like a chick to her mother.

Bugh

The sound of a blow sounded. April stopped her steps without any intention of turning around. A tired breath accompanies April's body which twists backward.

"So look Lo! Once again I see Lo mandangin my girl that, run out Lo same me!" Lastly, the man spat right at the already unconscious young man on the floor full of fresh blood that had hatched from his face.

Unpowerful. April immediately pulled the man's hand away through the crowd who witnessed the umpteenth action of the man named Alfino for the same reason. Awe-inspiring look of men on April's pretty face.

After feeling lonely, April threw out Alfino's hand and turned to look at the eyes that were staring at him gently.

"Stop Al's! Stop doing everything you want! Stop dedicating that I belong to Lo!" April exclaims with breath up and down.

"But Lo does belong to me honey" Alfino replied making April feel fed up and upset simultaneously. All this time he was quite patient with the behavior of Alfino who arbitrarily managed his life. And now April's patience is on the verge.

"Alfino please! I told you I don't like you! So please don't bother me anymore!" Press April tiredly reminding the man.

"I like you. And I guess that's enough for me to be able to have you fully," the man replied casually.

"Crazy! You're crazy Fin!" Without caring about the man, April rushed off wherever it mattered that there was no Alfino said in it.

Looking at April's departure, Alfino slowly smiled slightly then a second later turned into a terrifying grin.

"Your mine!"

***

"April!" April's steps came to a halt when she heard someone calling her name. A man he knew as a member of the OSIS was seen walking up to him.

"You're going home, huh? With me yuk!" Bring the guy.

"Gue picked up" is short, dense and clear.

"If so I'll wait for an invitation!" April breathed. The man named Farhan was indeed one of the many men who approached him, but was blocked by the demon Alfino. And Farhan was the only man who dared to approach him brightly.

"Whatever"

"Ril,"

"Hm"

"Don't be so clueless" April's reflexes turned her eyes on Farhan. Waiting for the man to continue, he said.

"Lo does not need to keep the same distance from people around Lo. You also do not need to care about the attitude of Alfino who is too obsessive with Lo. You deserve to be happy Aril. And Lo's happiness is determined by Lo itself, if Lo's steps are influenced by others, just as Lo breaks the real happiness, Lo who has. Lo has all that to contribute. My advice, start open to the environment." The words continued to ring in April's mind until the girl reached her home.

After performing the prayer, April laid her body on the mattress, staring at the sky of the room while thinking about Farhan's words to her.

Tringggg

The sound of the incoming message blew April's mind at Farhan's speech. His gaze now switched on the phone screen that displayed a photo of the Alfino number along with the inscription.

Come to the warehouse on X Street and see what I'm going to do with a pretentious guy like this little bastard..

April instantly rose from her sleep with shocked eyes. In the photo, Farhan is seen unconscious on a chair with his hands, feet and mouth tied.

Without a second thought, April hurried away even though the time had already shown at 8 p.m. When he arrived at the living room, April's steps stopped when he saw his parents watching television.

"Where are you going this night?" Tanya Uma saw her daughter was seen wearing a thick jacket as if she wanted to get out.

"You go to the supermarket ahead ma," April lied. Because there's no way he's saying that he wants to save someone.

"Yes, the way of the heart! Bring a cell phone, let's say if there's anything direct home phone!" Abah Message.

"Yes bah, if that's how Aril goes first. Assalamu'alaikum"

"Wa'alaikumussalam"

After bidding farewell to her parents, April immediately stopped a taxi to take her to the street that Alfino had sent her.

A moment had arrived in front of the intended warehouse. With doubt April pushed the door, immediately April's body stiffened. In front of him, a person whom he recognized as Farhan was lying unconscious with blood constantly flowing in his stomach, while in Alfino's hands was a knife covered in blood belonging to Farhan.

"FARHAN!!!" April immediately runs towards Farhan's unconscious body, but is restrained when Alfino violently restrains April's hand so as not to approach Farhan.

"Please!! Farhannn!!!" April screams hysterically and continues to rebel asking to be released. Out of annoyance, Alfino pulls roughly April's body and ties it over Farhan's former seat.

April cries hysterically and tries to rebel. Guilt continued to spring to his mind, causing pain effects because it made Farhan have to lose his life because it was close to him.

"Let alone asshole! What have you done with Farhan! He has nothing wrong what a bastard!!!" An April exclaimed looking intently at Alfino's dark face.

"He's wrong. Wrong for playing with me! You should keep this honey. You are mine! And no one can get close to you. Including that guy! I just want to teach you a little lesson, so you understand. In the future, never dare to get close to another man, or the man will end up the same as him!" Appoint Alfino to Farhan's body.

Brakes

April's head was dizzy, coinciding with someone who arrived to come pushing the door hard to make a sound so loud.

April was unable to clearly see who the man was due to the dizziness that kept her suffering, making it difficult for her to stare clearly at the owner of the face.

"Who Lo?! How dare it interfere with my pleasure!" Shouted Alfino stared furiously at the uninvited guest who had dared to enter his territory.

"Oh.. It turns out that the pleasure of a psychopath is to kill others? Or see a girl scared like that?" The muttered man nodded his head slowly as he scrutinized every corner of the room, until his gaze fell on the girl who was looking at him with a faint look. And that made the man stir up his anger.

"Please him!" Tell the man to walk closer quietly, as if not afraid at all with the risks he might get later.

Alfino growled resentfully at the figure of the young man whom he estimated to be much older than him, perhaps already in college or perhaps already working because of his neat clothes using a shirt with his arms bent to my side.

Through the code that Alfino gave, there arrived a room that originally only existed they were now filled with men in all black clothes who surrounded and cornered the man.

The man paused for a moment, sighed then kicked Alfino's stomach down. Until that fight was inevitable. Twenty people against one. But the man looks very good at playing, one by one he collides easily.

Until the moment he toppled the last opponent, his gaze was fixed on someone who was none other than Alfino about to touch April intending to take her away. But quickly the man stopped.

"Hosh hosh don't. Hosh hosh touch. hosh my woman!" Said the man then pushed hard Alfino's body to fall on the floor full of dust mixed with fresh blood.

The man immediately turned around and saw April was already unconscious, quickly he untied the ties in the girl's hands and feet and carried her out of the room.

***

"Pril.. Aril wakes.. Arill!!"

I instantly woke up when I felt someone shake my body violently. My gaze fell on Nana who was still wearing her nightgown. Glancing at the clock, it's been as quiet as five. I think I'm dreaming.
