One Night Tragedy With Friends
Episode 4

For almost a month now the Queen has completely shied away from Jean. Jean, who felt the change in the Queen's attitude towards her, astonished her, had she made a mistake?

Jean and other BEM members are currently conducting a meeting on volunteering in one of the villages affected by the flash flood disaster.

"Who would like to ask or give another opinion on this?" asked Jean as the leader of BEM, his eyes glanced at the Queen. The queen that Jean looked at immediately turned her gaze in the other direction.

No one answered Jean's question, meaning everyone agreed with Jean's opinion. After Jean closed the meeting, all the members of BEM came out of the BEM room. When the Queen was about to come out, her hand was immediately restrained by Jean.

"Wait Queen!"

The queen simply let Jean continue what she wanted to say while letting go of Jean's hand.

"Why have you been so indifferent lately and as if avoiding me, Queen?" ask Jean.

"I'm not avoiding it, maybe it's just your feeling" said the Queen flatly and stepped out but again she was detained by Jean.

"Please Queen, I'm sad you're acting like this. Tell me if I have something wrong with you, so I can correct my mistake" Jean said. He'd rather be ignored by everyone than be ignored by the Queen.

The Queen held desperately that her tears would not fall, had the heart-wrenching event not happened, it was possible that the Queen was now joking and mocking each other with Jean, but fate had said otherwise.

"I have to go to the prof's room. Hartono," the Queen replied without looking at Jean. Jean let out a long sigh while staring at the Queen's departure with a sad look.

Vina was stunned to see the Queen's unusual way of eating, looking greedy and in a hurry like a person who had never eaten a week alone.

"Heh slowly Queen, no one will take your food!" reprimand Vina when she felt full by eating her best friend.

"I'm hungry" said the Queen, because her mouth was full of food.

"Good God just swallowed!" vina gemas said. The queen chews the food quickly and then swallows it. Vina who saw that could only shake her head.

"I'm so hungry Vin, I don't know that lately my appetite has been increasing" explained the Queen.

"Have your cheeks grown chubby" led by Vina. The Queen only indifferently ignored Vina's taunts and chose to return to eating her food.

"Hi, can we join?" said Jean who suddenly came with Abimana and Putra made the Queen choke.

The uhuukk!

Jean's reflexes patted the Queen's back gently.

"Eat it if eat it carefully Queen," Jean gently scolded. Abimana and Putra looked at each other with meaningful smiles, whether they thought Jean and the Queen had more feelings than friends.

The queen stood up from the chair, "I went to the toilet for a while" he said, walking quickly away from the cafeteria.

Jean could only stare at the Queen's increasingly distant back. Abimana, Putra and Vina also feel that the Queen is like avoiding Jean.

"You have a problem with the Queen, Jean?" ask Vina curiously.

Jean shrugged both shoulders not knowing, "I'm also confused by the Queen's attitude, it's been almost a month that she's been avoiding me" explained Jean. It is clearly printed from the look on Jean's face that looks sad.

"Is this because it has something to do with Elsa?" ask Putra.

"It doesn't seem like it" Jean denied.

"Have you ever asked your fault what to the Queen?" sahut Abiman.

Jean nodded, "Huh... Not ever again, even very often, but the Queen seemed silent and indifferent to me," said Jean. He did not want to lose a friend like the Queen.

In the toilet, the Queen vomited as if her stomach was stirred. The queen took the water and wiped her mouth.

"Why can I vomit like this? Is my stomach acid going up?" murmuring Queen who does have stomach acid disease.

The queen came out of the toilet, but she suddenly stopped her steps when she heard some students talking about Jean and Elsa's relationship that had ended.

"Jean and Elsa broke up? So because of that Jean got drunk?" inner Queen. There was a sense of happiness and sadness when the Queen heard the news. Happy that Jean had been kept away from the woman whom the Queen thought was not good for Jean's life, but he was also sad to think that the night that Jean must have thought that the woman he slept with was Elsa was not the Queen.

"It hurts huhuhu ..."

Did he have to tell Jean if she was the woman he slept with? But if Jean would believe it, that's what the Queen feared.

After crying and venting her anger, the Queen left the rooftop, walking towards her classroom.

"Where are you out of, Queen? How long from the toilet" asked Vina.

"Oh that I had a chat for a while with one of our juniors" the Queen replied lyingly. But Vina did not believe that, let alone looking at the Queen's eyes that were red as if they were crying.

"Really?" ask Vina to investigate.

"Yes Vina is beautiful" said the Queen. Vina just nodded trying to believe.

The queen was waiting for her brother to pick her up, but Rivaldo had not shown up for 30 minutes.

"Oh my brother Aldo where the hell!" gerutu Queen.

TIN!

TIN!

It was not Rivaldo's car that approached the Queen but rather the man's car that he had been avoiding for a month. The queen tried not to care about the man.

"Why haven't you come home yet, Tu?" jean asked who came down to the Queen.

The queen was silent as if she thought Jean was not there. Jean breathed a heavy sigh.

"Do you want me to take you home?" hail Jean with her soft voice. It was only to certain people that Jean said softly. Even he is known as the leader of BEM who is firm and authoritative.

"No need" the Queen replied briefly.

"Udah wants this magrib loh," said Jean. Indeed today they entered at about one in the afternoon and came home at half-six in the afternoon.

The Queen was silent. Suddenly the notification sound of the message came into the Queen's phone and it was from Rivaldo. Rivaldo said he could not pick up the Queen because there was still work that he had not finished and seemed to be overtime. While the family's private driver was coming with his parents to go out of town.

"Good God brother Aldo why didn't you say that!" the Queen grumbled quietly but was clearly heard in Jean's ears.

"Why Tu? Didn't Aldo's brother pick you up?" guess Jean.

The queen just nodded.

"Let's take me home" Jean asked.

"No, I can order a taxi online" the Queen refused.

"You sure? This already wants magrib loh, where not to mention you have to wait for the online taxi to come long because it is stuck in traffic, you know if Jakarta at this hour is jammed badly? There are also many thugs like Tu, they sometimes like to disturb people, especially women." Jean continues to persuade the Queen by scaring the girl into going home with her.

The Queen thought about what Jean said, it is true that around here many thugs are wandering around when the night is coming.

Without further ado, the Queen got into Jean's car and lowered her ego for the time being, for her own safety. Jean smiled a little, she knew where her best friend's weakness lay. Then Jean got into his car.

Only silence was created in the car, no one made a sound.

"Queen," call Jean to break the silence.

"Why?"

"Are you going to volunteer tomorrow morning?" asked Jean to try to make small talk.

The queen just nodded. Then the silence happened again. Jean is confused about what else is going on with the Queen, feeling awkward about the girl's cold demeanor.
