All humans can forget. Especially when lulled by happiness - Auraliv.

Zerin smiled wryly. Bi Ranti smiled back. The middle-aged woman was being as friendly as ever.

"Just mopping, Bi?" ask Zerin. Maybe he sounds like he's making small talk. He wanted to make sure of something.

"Yes, just now. It was downstairs mopping. You?" reply Bi Ranti. Reply asked.

"I delivered martabak to Mr. Zidan." Zerin responded as he climbed down the stairs. He stroked his chest because he was relieved. Zerin went home with Lia when all the work was done.

In the room, Zidan threw himself into the bed. The intimate activities that happened earlier made him want to sleep.

But when he just closed his eyes, the ringing of the phone sounded. Zidan gets a phone call from Jaka.

"You're satisfied, aren't you? Ernest is now at the police station!" jaka said from across the phone.

Zidan's eyes were perfectly rounded. He reflexes standing up straight. "Have you told him I'd help?" his question.

"Yes, he already knows. Ernest is so mad at you!!" jaka Timpal.

"I'll see him now!"

"But-"

Jaka had not spoken yet, Zidan had turned off the phone first. He rushed to the police station. Zidan's gonna talk to Ernest. He actually had no intention of destroying Ernest that far.

While on the way, Zidan again gets a call from Jaka. His forehead was puzzled. Even so, he still raised the call.

"Why?!" timpal Zidan's.

"Am I not the one who should be angry!" jaka Sahut.

"Speak! I'm driving right now" urged Zidan.

"I happened to be at the police station. In front of me was Ernest now. We're talking about your offer."

"What?!" Zidan widened his eyelids.

"Yes. I just wanted to let you know that Ernest agreed to keep his mouth shut. So..." Jaka was silent for a moment. "You better hurry and help Ernest to get away from the charges!!!" pekiknya. Until the success of making Zidan reflex keep the phone away from the ear.

Zidan smiled with satisfaction. He turned his car around. Zidan will meet the Wira.

The car stopped by Zidan in the parking lot. He sat in the steering chair for a moment. Then glanced at a large building in front of him. The building was none other than the main company of the Aerospace family. That's where all businesses are managed by Wira. All the important people of the company gathered in the building.

For the first time, Zidan went to the main company of his family. He walked confidently to the reception desk.

"Please tell Mr. Wira that Zidan wants to see him" Zidan said.

The receptionist who was on guard rounded his eyes. That's because everyone in the company knows the name of Wira Dirgantara's son. The name predicted will be the next heir of the Aerospace family.

"Zidan's? You're Zidan Dirgantara?" the receptionist made sure. She happened to be a woman who had a name tag that read Fida.

"Yes?" Zidan was astonished to see Fida's shocked expression.

"I-I'm just making sure, sir. Sorry in advance for my insolence." After finding out who Zidan was, Fida and co immediately bowed respectfully.

Zidan smiled wryly. He was not surprised at all at Fida's reaction. Remembering Wira and Arni often tell their names to people. Many people know Zidan's name but don't know what he looks like. So no wonder Fida was shocked when he met Zidan.

"Be relaxed. Please tell Mr. Wira I'm waiting" Zidan said.

Fida then contacted Wira. The middle-aged man was somewhat shocked by Zidan's arrival. The hero is worried. Because his son has not fully recovered.

While waiting for Wira, Zidan get royal services from company employees. He even got three drinks at once. Plus some packaged snacks and cookies.

Coinciding with that, the hero came. He looked worried and sat down near Zidan.

"Not resting, why are you here?" crush the Hero with a frowning forehead inside.

"There's something I want to talk about, Dad. It's about Ernest. I want you to withdraw your charges against him" Zidan said seriously.

"But-"

The hero develops a smile. He was amazed by Zidan's humble attitude.

"You are amazing. I'm getting more and more convinced that you can definitely lead a better company than me." The hero holds Zidan's shoulder. He granted his son's request as soon as possible.

Zidan smiled with satisfaction. The plan went so smoothly. Now he's going home. But the hero prevented his departure. The middle-aged man wanted to take Zidan around the company first.

"It doesn't seem like it, Pah. You see for yourself that my condition is not possible?" Zidan refused. He brought his mouth closer to the ears of the hero. "I want to look good when you introduce me to everyone. So it's definitely not the time today." whispered.

"You're right. Papah forgot. Go home and be careful on the road." Wira chuckles with Zidan.

...***...

Three days late. The incident of the dispute between Zidan and Ernest was kept secret in such a way.

No rumors were heard about Zidan and Zerin. Zidan also fully recovered. His face is back.

Ernest himself decided to move. He no longer studied at the University of Wijaya Dirgantara. He said Ernest attended another university with a different department.

Different from Jaka. He chose to survive. Despite that, Jaka has been reluctant to befriend Zidan.

Now Zerin is in the cafeteria with his friends. They talked about Ernest.

"Rin, Ernest, did you suddenly move? You don't know why?" ask Kinar curiously.

"I don't know." Zerin. He and Zidan agreed to keep their mouths shut. So did Jaka.

"I think Zidan, Ernest, and Jaka had a fight. Look at it. They sit so apart." Astrid spoke in a whispering voice. He also looked at Jaka who was sitting alone. He turned to Zidan, who was seen sitting with new friends.

"I think you're right." Gita agrees with Astrid.

Zerin was just silent. He looked towards Jaka. Until his eyes accidentally whistled with the man. Jaka immediately pouted. Then throw away face. Eventually he left the canteen.

Zerin's head bowed. Her guilt always comes when she sees Jaka. He had actually contacted and texted Ernest dozens of times. But the man gave no response at all. Ernest's number is no longer active. Zerin has surrendered. He also realized he was wrong.

Zerin's phone suddenly shook. A message from Zidan received. The guy asked her out tonight.

A smile was engraved on Zerin's face. He immediately glanced at Zidan who was sitting not far away with his new friends. For a Zidan, making new friends is certainly not difficult.

There Zidan returned Zerin's gaze. The two exchanged looks from a distance.

After finishing all the course materials, Zidan and Zerin met in the parking lot. Now the two are busy kissing in the front car seat. They've been making out for more than three minutes.

Zerin took off his lips from Zidan's mouth. He and the man both breathe.

"Are we not going on a date? We're not leaving if we keep doing this" Zerin said.

"Do what? Please explain first," Zidan responded, pretending not to understand.

Zerin turned the eyeballs. That's when the attention is fixed to the camera Zidan on the dashboard of the car. Zerin immediately took the camera.

"yes too. I forgot something about you" Zerin said as he glanced at Zidan.

"What?!" ask Zidan doesn't understand.

"You still have nude photos of women, don't you?!" timpal Zerin's.

Zidan rushed to throw his face while chortling. He was busy starting the car.

"Zidaaaan?" Zerin demanded an answer.

"OK, okay. I still have it. But honestly, after we dated, I've never been in my dark room again!" Zidan did the defense.

"Dark room?" Zerin folded his hands on his chest while thinking. A grin was engraved on his face when he thought of something.

"Then. We're just gonna postpone our date tonight. I don't want to date before I see you take care of the pictures of your naked women" Zerin said.

"Okay, we're going there now." Zidan agrees. He immediately drove the car to his house.
