New Year's Eve has come and tonight is the time. Riri will come to his Junior High class reunion, he might also meet many of his old friends there.
While Riri prepares the clothes that he will wear later tonight, he also does not forget to contact Megan for advice.
"So, do I have to use this one or this one?" riri said during a video call with Megan.
"That cream is pretty Mel, that's it" Megan suggested.
"Then his bag, this one what is this?" riri asks Megan again for advice.
"Black is more natural" Megan suggested.
"Okay"
Much of what he chatted with Megan on vc, he also advised Megan to wear what clothes. Riri is indeed very close to Megan, she is also only comfortable talking to Megan, even for her own personal problems, she only dares to tell Megan than her other Junior High School friends.
After finishing choosing clothes, Riri went down to see his father and mother asking for permission to leave later that night, he also asked about his brother's departure from abroad.

*Night at 08.15**
New Year's Eve finally arrives too, Riri is waiting for Megan to pick her up to go to their reunion. He was done getting ready, their show started around 08:00. While now the clock has pointed at 8:15, they will not come on time. The event is also unlikely to start on time.
Before long Megan comes to pick up Riri, Megan's car drives away from Riri's house to their 'cafes girlsboys' reunion place'. This cafe is indeed very much visited by young children as if it is specifically for young people.
When you get there Riri saw how beautiful this cafe is, this cafe has an outdoor room and there are also 3 floors. Their forces have chosen an outdoor room for their reunion event, the room is also on the top floor, which is the 3rd floor. The reason they chose the 3rd floor is because they will be able to enjoy the beautiful view of the city and also watch the fireworks passing in the night sky.
Riri and Megan enter the cafe to the 3rd floor. Some of their friends have just arrived as well.
When they reached the 3rd floor, there were many friends who came, the 3rd floor was specifically rented to them, so as not to disturb the comfort of other customers. After all, their generation is many, so it is impossible to fit if there are other customers there. Their force is also the most numerous generation in Junior High School.
Riri and Megan join their classmates, of course there are also some other circle friends namely Latifa, Dila and Fara.
"Hello guys" Megan said to them.
"Hello"
"It's been a long time since I've seen you" Riri told them, although Riri is not comfortable talking to them but still here he has to be professional.
"Yes, I miss you ri" said Fara.
"Are you fat, Far?" megan asked when she saw Fara.
"Hm right, it's very difficult for me to lose this weight" he lamented.
"However you should be grateful for having a beautiful face" continued Dila.
"Yes, look at him! she's so sweet" Latifa added.
While chatting with her circle friends, Riri also did not forget to greet her other friends. His classmates from other classes have also come here.
Riri is called by a boy friend who is in class with him, he used to like Riri even had time to invite Riri to go out, but Riri refused him because it is not good if you have to date a classmate. He is a Star..
"R.. Here a minute! I haven't talked to you in a long time!" the stars invited Riri to speak.
While his other friends were busy saying "Cieeee" until heard by his classmates from other classes.
Riri sat with the Stars to chat with her, the stars also told her how bitter her life was after graduating first, she said that she fought her mental illness for years until she met someone.
Star and Riri are actually not too close but the Star during Junior High always makes Riri as a place to tell stories and from there also the star began to like Riri because Riri has always been a good listener and good input giver.
Now the star has got a woman who can cure him. Since graduating first star never contacted Riri again, it turns out he faced his mental illness. He has a mental anxiety disorder, where he is very afraid of socializing and also over-anxious about something that is not known to cause.
However, because of his efforts so far, he was able to go through all that. Plus there is a woman who always supports her to heal. The stars are no longer afraid of the social world. Hearing the story of star Riri became very proud to see the star's patience to face all that.
In addition, the star also asked how about Riri after graduation. Riri tells the ins and outs he went through after graduating from Junior High. He also shared how his current college environment was until he turned to chatter about Fajri.
"You're still expecting it until now?" ask the Star when Riri mentions Fajri.
"Let's go, I think I've started to forget but he's coming back" Riri replied.
"If he calls you, it doesn't hurt you to respond. After all, Ri, it's not entirely Fajri's fault, maybe he wants to change after making a mistake first" said Bintang giving advice.
"i know's.. But it's hard for me to do that, let alone her being with my best friend"
"Now it's different ri, after all Latifa now has a guy. What else does he want from Fajri? They are also not close" said Bintang provide information.
"What?" Riri does not know about it, even he does not know that Latifa already has a guy.
"You seriously don't know?" asked the astonished star, Riri nodded.
"Aren't you guys friends?" ask the stars again.
"really.. But after that incident we became awkward. We rarely communicate and ask each other" Riri explained.
Just because a guy can make their friendship become tenuous, actually Riri does not want such a thing but when he saw Latifa he remembered the incident at that time.
"I haven't heard about them since I got treatment, and then 1 year later I heard that they had broken up, their friendship had also become fractured. I don't know what's going on between them" continued Bintang.
Riri notices Latifa who is not paying attention, it is very desirable for Riri to ask her about her problem of breaking up with Fajri, even though she likes Fajri so much that she willingly welcomes Rio for Fajri, even he was willing to betray Riri as his own best friend.
"If there is a chance to talk again with Fajri. I don't think he's completely wrong" Star suggested.
"Why do you think so?"
"Of course, what does it mean when you break up with you but still monitor you from social media" replied Bintang.
It turns out that Fajri has always been monitoring Riri's situation through sosmed, Riri so curious what exactly is the reason Fajri cheated with Latifa if he still often monitors Riri.
Their reunion tonight followed by a talent show, there are several members of his class who show the talent they have, including Megan. Megan showed me the martial talent she had, it made everyone amazed to see her.
The star also shows the talent he has that is a tombal, everyone laughs when he sees the Star fighting with other alumni of the class..
There is also a friend who shows the talent of dancing, playing music and singing. There are also those who show other talents to even strange talents.
Latifa also showed her talent in front of everyone, Latifa was very good at singing so she sang in front of everyone. No doubt Latifa's voice is indeed that good, Riri himself also felt amazed when he saw Latifa singing.
Riri, who did not want to do anything, was instead appointed by their friends to sing as well. In addition to Latifa, Riri is also known to have a good voice first, the difference is that Riri does not highlight it as well as latifa, he rarely sings in public.
"Riri Riri Riri Riri Riri Riri Riri Riri" said his classmate who encouraged Riri to come forward, Riri also saw Fajri save him.
As if waiting for Riri to sing tonight, Riri finally agreed to it, after all, he had not sung for a long time and tonight was the time.

Riri sings the song Too Love-Rossa. He really liked that song. The song has meaning for Riri's love story. While singing he remembers the times when he was still with Fajri, he also remembers Rendy who is always there for him now like Fajri was. But the fact remains that his heart is not on anyone's side anymore.
Not only that, he also remembered his time with Latifa and his other friends. His eyes glazed over after realizing that they were not okay now.
Everyone who heard him sing was amazed by the beauty of Riri's voice and the depth of the meaning of the song that Riri brought. Even Megan who had always been there for Riri to cry hearing Riri sing, she felt proud Riri could be as patient as it was facing her past.
What happened to Riri's past? So that he was truly considered great had passed through it. If it was just about Fajri cheating on him with his best friend, would he be that happy?. There must be another story behind it.
All of this will be revealed.
Seriate..
