Adriana looked at her lover who was still sulking because of yesterday's incident. It makes Adriana must relented and meet Erland who sits at the corner table of the campus cafeteria. Adriana stood in front of Erland pretending not to see her. The whispers of the people were heard, questioning the relationship between the two. Is it okay, or maybe it's broken up?
"Judah if you want to keep believing, I go" Adriana turned and was about to walk away from before Erland, before the man held her back.
"Wait!"
Adriana smiled faintly, she turned back to face her lover. Pull up a chair and sit there. Riki and Beno who were sitting at the table beside Erland, only shook their heads in wonder at the attitude of his best friend who turned childish.
"Yaudah, I got a work permit today. Where you going, let me be with you"
Erland smiled at him immediately. "We went to the mall, bought clothes for my graduation"
Adriana nodded, she indeed had to make Erland happy as she approached her graduation time. "Okay, but I only have a work holiday permit in the mini market. Stay at work tonight"
"Judah yes, but don't upset me anymore. Why don't you work in one place. Do you work in two places like that? Not to mention you have to go to college"
Adriana smiled, she grabbed Erland's hand and clasped it on the table. "Maybe it's karma for me, brother, my crime against Tyas is in return for my present life. Even then, I really didn't know what the truth was like. I just believe too much in what Mom says"
Erland looked at the girl, how she went through all this alone. "Honey, maybe you in the past were not a good person. But you are not entirely guilty either. You're just fooled by all your Mama's sayings. So don't keep blaming yourself"
Huh..
Adriana breathed a rough breath. "Yes, it's not entirely my fault. But, sometimes I like to think, why should I be born from a family like this. Brother knows? How Papa hated Kak Tyas at that time and it made me even more sure that Kak Tyas was not a good brother for me. So, who's wrong in this?"
"Have it, you must not keep remembering the past that might hurt you. Now just think about your future and the life you will live in the future. Let the past go, without you having to keep thinking about it and get stuck in regret"
Maybe it's true what Erland said. But, it didn't feel that easy for Adriana to forget all her past mistakes on Tyas. Regrets that until now still gnawed at his heart and feelings.
"Can't you, the regret is still there and I don't know when it will disappear"
Erland sighed, it was indeed not easy going through all this for Adriana. He tried to understand and would always accompany Adriana through all this.

After college, Erland actually invited Adriana to go for a walk to the mall. Entering a women's clothing boutique, Adriana is a little confused. Not that Erland wants to buy clothes for graduation, why even enter the women's boutique. If buying for Erlita, it felt impossible because their graduation time was different.
"When is this brother?"
"Buy clothes for you"
"Me?" Adriana pointed to herself with a confused face. "...I don't want to buy clothes, brother. My clothes at home are plenty too. Why come here now, let's go"
Adriana pulls Erland's hand out of the boutique. Erland was confused by his behavior. "Geez, why are you pulling me out. We haven't bought the clothes yet"
"No, sister, I don't want to buy clothes. I'm here 'wanna take Brother to buy clothes for graduation, why even so I buy clothes"
"Honey, I want to buy you a dress for my graduation. Why can't I"
Adriana was speechless, she released her hand grip on Erland's hand. "Emmm. Are you ashamed that I came to your graduation with my simple dress?"
Degs..
"Honey's not that shit..."
"No papa, I'm not at your graduation..." Adriana looked up and looked at Erland with a smile, although it was noticeable that the smile was a smile that held many wounds. "...I don't mind if I don't attend too, besides I didn't intend to be on the show at first, afraid to make you embarrassed"
Erland went awry on her own, she looked at Adriana who walked ahead of her. The girl had misunderstood him, Erland so wanted to curse her own stupidity. Maybe the intention is good, so that Adriana is not looked down on by others. But, it turned out that the thing he did was to offend this girl.
"Honey, I didn't mean it that way. I'm sorry yes, I won't do that again"
Adriana smiled, she stroked Erland's cheek gently. "No papa, I understand"
Finally, today they spent the day walking around the mall and eating there. Not buying anything, because Erland did not want to make Adriana offended again by her actions.

Erlita comes out of the fried noodle shop she used to visit with Pendy. Somehow lately the man looks busy and even rarely say hello to Erlita. And somehow Erlita also felt sad to see the cold attitude of Pendy.
Is it possible that my rejection at that time hurt her too much huh?
Erlita got into her car and drove her away from the fried noodle shop. "Actually why is he? How cold and cold to me"
Maybe Pendy was replying to Erlita's cold attitude since her confession in front of Erland at that time. However, Erlita remained uncomfortable with the man's current attitude. Honestly, Erlita misses Pendy's attitude a little.
Erlita parked her car in the campus parking lot, there was still something she had to finish on campus. Walking into her class, Erlita saw Pendy chatting with a lecturer there. The man's face looked very happy, holding a letter in his hand.
Erlita walked past Pendy, sitting on her stool. Played his phone there, until he heard the Lecturer congratulate Pendy and walked out of the classroom. Erlita looked up as a pair of hands were resting on her desk. His frowning confusedly looked at Pendy who was smiling towards him.
"What's wrong?"
"Graduation next week, you're coming"
"Huh?" Erlita could hardly believe hearing that. If Erland, he believes he can graduate in a fairly short time. But to Pendy, Erlita was completely shocked to hear that.
"Why? You can't believe that my brain's ability is on par with that arrogant twin brother of yours"
"Heh, that's my brother huh"
"Hehe. Yes, yes, your brother"
"So you actually graduated with Erland?"
Pendy nodded with a face full of confidence. "Yes, I'm after the thesis so I can graduate quickly and marry you soon"
Huh?!..
Be married?
