RED MAPALA
Chapter 18 - Keeping Lani

Chapter 18 PMM

"What the fuck?!" Mr. Adrian the killer lecturer showed up just when Lani was in need.

"Dikta bother me, sir!" Boldly Lani pointed to Dikta's face.

Adrian looks furious.

"You're always making trouble with women, yeah! You leave here or I'll call you to the dean's room, will you?" threaten him with eyes glaring towards Dikta.

Dikta finally smiled grinning towards Lani, after which she stepped away just like that. He even pushed Tyo with his shoulder. Adrian asked everyone to disband.

"You know what, Lan, now? Playful as Dikta is dangerous," said Tyo as he walked along with Lani then rushed to his scooter.

Lani turned to Raja and Rara, "I'm sorry, yeah .. because I got damprat Dika."

"It's okay, Lan. You have to be more careful with Dikta and you should find it safe first, deh," said Rara.

"Yes, Ra. Thanks Ra, Ja. I'll go first if so. I'll see you later in the afternoon at my house, yeah! Ohhhhh….!" Lani waved her hand towards an online taxi car she had just ordered.

"To the minimarket, yuk! I want to treat your wounds," said Rara, wrapping her hand on the King's arm.

"My injuries will also heal if you use your love," said the King who successfully made Rara blush.

"Ja... Don't start the fight!"

"Eh, I'm not a big boy! Especially if you kiss, it will heal!" The king raised his eyebrows many times while smiling at Rara.

"King! I told your mother that her son was naughty!" Rara can only smile to accept the King's deathly appeal.

Briana finally comes after an hour of Lani and Rara studying the group. He brought tofu and fried tempeh from one of the merchants near his salon.

"Sorry, have you studied it for a long time? Here, I bring fried food," said Briana.

"Thank you for the fritters!" lani and Rara said at the same time.

"Where did you know about it?" Briana looked at the reworked paper that was in front of Rara.

"Hmmmm, of the fifty questions ... only ten hehehe." Rara grimacing.

"Lumayan even if only ten. Well, if so I cheat first the results of the answer," pinta Briana.

"Huuuuu!" sulkul Lani's.

"Lan, I'm gonna pee, okay?" lirih Rara said in embarrassment.

"Oh, in my room! It was in the bathroom like that!" sahut Lani's.

"OKAY. I'm going upstairs, yeah!" Rara immediately headed to the second floor of Lani's house.

After finishing using the toilet in Lani's room, Rara accidentally nudges a book with a black velvet cover. The girl was aghast when she saw some photos scattered. Rara thought the book was a diary owned by Lani that should be private and should not be seen let alone read.

However, something made Rara squeak when she saw the face of Raisa who was marked "X" with a red marker. So also with the photos of Ajeng, Devan, then Dikta, Briana, and also Tyo. However, the other photos are not marked. Then later, Rara's intention to read page after page of the book, until Lani's voice suddenly appears on the edge of the door leaf, calling her and making her surprised.

"Well, Ra?" ask Lani.

"Eh, Lan, this was your book falling" said Rara.

Lani nodded and rushed to get the book. She also put photos in the book. Lani's diary then he put it in the closet drawer which he then locks.

"Yep, get involved again!" invite Lani looks clumsy and awkward as well as Rara.

Inwardly, Rara still thought of Lani's diary and the red cross-marked image. Rara wanted to ask him, but he did not dare.

While studying the group, Lani's phone rang. There is a name that is "Dikta" that he often avoids. He pushed the reject button. Shortly thereafter, an unknown number appeared. Lani again refused the call.

"Ummm, Bri, I'm taking a dip in your house, huh? I'm afraid the Dikta will run me to nyokap," whispered Lani.

"My contract is narrow," said Briana.

"It's okay." Lani smiles.

After returning home from studying together, Lani stays at Briana's house. Lani just dared to go home on Saturday or Sunday when her parents were at home all.

...***...

In Briana's rented house.

Lani grudgingly told Briana the matter. The two then berembuk looking for a way out, because Lani stick with her determination. Break up from Dikta and stay close to Boy. However, for Briana and other Red Mapala children it means only one word that will be in Lani's life, calamity.

So, the first step that Briana could think of was just one, accompanying and escorting Lani wherever she went. Briana also asks Rara and Raja to help.

The next day Lani's days were getting harder. And the most frequent shield Lani is Rara. Though making Rara as a shield to face Dikta is tantamount to thrusting chicks directly into the mouth of the wolf.

Once Dikta shows symptoms of going to do something, Briana will indeed immediately skyrocket and tell Lani.

Dikta himself faced the situation casually. The situation that makes Lani suddenly become a female actress of the film "Scream" who is a hunted criminal masked and holding a sharp knife. Briana always took the time to be Lani's bodyguard with Rara.

Dikta was also just watching with a smile, when suddenly Briana, Lani, and Rara suddenly changed direction as soon as she saw it. The three girls even dashed away from Dikta. However, Dikta made no attempt to pursue. Or maybe he was deliberately playing Lani. If the time had come, he would have taken Lani.

But today is different. Today Dikta believes Lani really wants to go from him even further even Dikta heard that Lani asked her mother to go to the grandmother's house in Malangan City. And because of the certainty he had gained, Dikta then no longer responded to the situation of Lani's departure casually.

That day at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Briana brought the salon boss's avanza to buy some hair care products that were running out. Lani went with him to help. After all, he later returned to Briana's boarding house.

Briana then parked her Avanza under the shade of a tree, in one corner of the front parking area of the dean building which is quite blocked.

Before getting out of the car, Briana called Rara. From his cell phone, he told me that he and Lani had arrived at the college. He asked Rara to follow. As usual, they had to escort Lani tightly all the way to the classroom.

Briana and Lani get out of the car. After making sure all the doors are locked, he invites Lani to wait for Rara in the back of the car. However, just now the two were standing leaning against the back door of the car to wait for Rara, suddenly Dikta's car appeared in front.
