METHANOIA
Sweet And Bitter

Zeline never felt special. In her simple life cycle, Zeline never expected anything special or special. However, all changed once he got to know a sharp named figure as sharp as a sword leaf. Asipatra. Patras.

The figure that had attracted him from the beginning. Honestly speaking, Zeline had been caught up in Patra's charms from the start. No. No. Patra is not so special. He's ordinary. Just like an ordinary dominant youth. But, in Zeline's eyes, Patra's charm had already drugged her. Make him able to take a soul mate decision to be second. Second!

Zeline swore she could guess Mutual's haphazard vow behind her sharp gaze. But Zeline doesn't care. To be honest, Zeline never thought she would be the third person. So actor! He's been swearing at a lot of actors in the sosmed. In fact, he himself is the same. He knew why actors could be so stupid as to be second. Well, since it is indeed magic in the name of charm and love, it cannot be avoided. Like when Zeline with gamlang uttered..

"Yes, I want to be the second girl. Or anything."

Ughhhh! Zeline was like punching her own face. But, there was a feeling of relief. Even, Patra didn't say a love sentence or anything. He only said 'Only three months. And I'll make you the only one.' That illustrates a lot of things! That sentence was enough to make the butterflies in Zeline's stomach fly so pretty. Buried to blind his consciousness.

Zeline just imagines she's in an ordinary relationship with who, with Mutual, maybe. Falling in love and dating. If a soul mate, will marry and build a simple evergreen household. Turns out he was dragged into a complicated relationship. But, Zeline enjoyed it. Hugely.

Like this moment, as he was on Patra's bike, embracing the young man with a flowering feeling. Enjoying heart palpitations yes tangle with heart palpitations Patra. Patra's heart thumping sound was so beautiful, it made her drift and more tightly embrace the young man who was also busy organizing himself to focus on the streets, passing his motorbike which ignored the cloudy sky there. Patra's feelings, too, are the same.

They enjoy the moment when butterflies in their stomachs are increasingly confined, starting to scatter.

Mutual sat on the RS bench with his face down. He clutched his tightly clenched hand. He could still feel his chest heating up when he heard the ridiculous statements from Patra and Zeline. They're fucking crazy! Already mad!

More, Zeline! Mutual never knew if Zeline would be that stupid. Mutual gulped bitterly at his saliva, as bitter as reality. He was one step ahead of losing Zeline.

Why does it have to be Patra? What's better than Patra? The first mutual likes Zeline!

"It must be so upset. Lose before the war begins."

Reksa turned his head towards a girl who was already sitting next to Reksa. The girl looked thin and a little pale. Mutual frowning confused.

"My name... Sashas. Patra's fiancee." said the girl with a fragile smile.

Mutual gulped with surprised eyes.

"Obsolutely normal. I know the story of the four of us. I´m. Elo. Zelines. And Patra. But, I can make it clear that we are both in the same camp." said Sasha calmly, although Reksa could hear a slight tone of conditional sadness from the girl. Apparently, this is what Patra's fiancee is like.

"Why three months?" ask Zeline.

Patra stared straight ahead. Patra's hand was still holding Zeline's hand gently. Zeline could in detail feel the burly veins of Patra's warm, rough hands. Little smiling Zeline looked at her cute little hand in Patra's hand. He felt like he wanted to be in this simple comment for as long as possible. Hopefully, this is not a moment.

"This is my agreement with the Sasha family" Patra said.

"A pact?" ask Zeline.

Patra reviewed a smile as she clasped Zeline's hand. Got a very rare smile from Patra, making Zeline again fell into a misguided mind. He was very confident, a lackey, not a bad figure!

"Slowly, Zel. We have plenty of time to get to know each other." Patra said.

Zeline gulped her hard-earned saliva upon hearing her name called Patra in a soft tone, not a cold tone. Zeline could not help but smile happily.

"Yes. We have a lot of time."

Zeline quickened her footsteps, aligning herself with a fast-paced, wordless Mutual. Zeline is off from her internship today and decides to meet Mutual. In addition to the selfish feeling of being happy being second to Patra, Zeline felt uncomfortable with Mutual.

They didn't have time to argue much yesterday because Patra had already pulled him away from the hospital after saying the phrase 'shots'. Zeline only knew, Muta squealed in a frustrated tone. Mutuals must be so disappointed. Sure enough, Mutual totality ignored him. Didn't touch her since their meeting fifteen minutes ago. Zeline slightly panted following Muta's steps.

"Click, Rek..lo horrified me." pinta Zeline. "Gue knew you were disappointed heavily. I know. you must be disgusted by me. But I don't want to lose our friendship. I know--."

Zeline stopped her sentence as Reksa stopped right in the corner of the back garden of the campus away from the crowd. So, Reksa did lead him to get away from the crowd.

"Gue has been losing you for a long time" said Reksa.

"meaning?"

"Since you've been interested in a guy who's been engaged to it-."

"Patra. Her name is Patra." Zeline.

"Gue intentionally called it that. Let you realize. That guy has a fiancee. Let you be aware of Elo's crazy soul!"

Zeline snorted briefly, "Denger ya Rek. I fell in love with Patra. And, I don't think I need a ban from elo."

"Well! Then why do you follow me to say sorry many times?"

"Because you're my best friend. And because I want to apologize if I refuse your feelings. Honestly, instead of not accepting about me being a second person, you're more unacceptable because I refuse you with this disgusting reason, khan?"

"Lo know it's disgusting!"

"But I'm happy. I'm in love. And, that's so happy."

"Lo's crazy, Zel!"

Zeline took a deep breath. He was quite conscious and admitted it. Zeline is crazy. She's been crazy ever since she decided to fall in love with Patra. He doesn't know why he got entangled in Patra's charm magnet. And. he enjoyed it!

"Once again. I do not intend nyari restu elo. Also, I no longer beg for understanding from elo. I just want to apologize for letting you down. And, I'm not sorry. Not at all."

"And may not regret it for ever." said Reksa who impressed full alone.

Zeline shook her head steadily, "There's nothing I should regret."

"It's over. About us." said Reksa disappointed. Unknowingly, his tightly clenched hands held back anger and disappointment.

"I know."
