Stefani waited for Ara to cry. There might have been an hour and now Ara's crying had stopped.
But the snot and its marks were still on the girl's face. His face was red probably from crying for too long.
"Udah satisfied?" asked Stefani who was sitting in her study chair while watching Ara who was also still at home in her bed.
Ara nodded. "Gue wants to ask you," he said slowly.
"What?" ask Stefani.
"When did you know all this?" ask Ara. She thought Stefani had known for a long time because the girl could confidently invite her to meet Abi's affair.
"Even longer. I told you when we wanted to eat at one of the restaurants, but that time also gie canceled and ngajak lo eat elsewhere." Ara nodded in light of the incident.
"Gue also had time to talk to Abi there and ask him to break up the girl. At the time, I thought he wanted to hear what I said. But no," he continued.
"Why don't I know? Why didn't I see that time?" At the time, he didn't see anyone there.
"Gue initially thought Abi wanted to change. I believe in him so I did not say the same because I know how much you love him" explained Stefani.
"Why did you end up saying the same to me? Maybe he'll change" she said.
"The second time I realized that Abi still has a relationship with the girl just look at the photo that you said rich Abi. I'm sure it's him because I've also seen the girl's account uploaded the same story Abi."
"The peak time yesterday I said I want to meet old friends actually I met with Abi. He pissed me off because I said he was meddling in his affairs. From there I had exhausted my patience. And in the end I said the same thing yesterday."
"Why is he so happy" he said grudgingly.
"It turns out that what Rachel said was not all wrong. Abi is a rich man" Stefani said.
I'm sorry she didn't listen to Rachel at the time. If Rachel had said with some evidence even if it was small, maybe Stefani would have thought more deeply.
"Hmm and now, besides I'm already not horrified him, I've also made him lie in the hospital." The talk about Rachel made Ara think back to her friend.
These few days she did not visit Rachel because her mother did not allow it either.
But he always prayed for the girl's health and whiteness.
"Lo can't say that. Everything that has happened is God's destiny. It is not good to have a destiny that God loves."
So far it is only that sentence that became his motivation and encouragement.
Ara had already made up her mind to apologize to Rachel later when the girl woke up.
"So you must have broken up with Abi?" Stefani is back on the subject of Ara today.
But far from his expectations, Ara shook her head instead.
"Well, is that it? So you still defend him even though he's sick of you rich gini?" stefani asked without thinking.
"It's not. I also have to explain it to him."
"Wait first. Didn't you say in the cafe that you wanted to break up with Abi?" Ara looked at Stefani in confusion. Did he really say that.
"No. It's just a bluff."
He felt that people like Abi would not feel that way because Abi must still have many women besides Ara and Nabila.
Ara was silent thinking word by word that Stefani had said. It made sense once he knew how Abi was.
But doesn't everyone have a good side? Isn't it good if Ara thinks positively first to Abi?
"Who knows."

At first Abi's intention was to return to his home, but because he remembered there was a class this afternoon, so he abandoned his intention to return home and turned his steering wheel towards the campus.
"That means he sent me the same message to come to that place??" he asked when he thought about it again Ara never came to that place.
Instead, he should be vigilant because it is the same place frequented by Nadia.
"You what else. It was too, too," he said.
There was nothing else he could do but surrender. He'll just talk to Ara tomorrow.
Arriving at the college he meets Shaka and Rangga. They are in a stall on the edge of the campus that they used to go to before the lecture began.
"Tumben came quickly" said Rangga as soon as Abi arrived. The man usually arrives late.
"Abis framed me," he replied as he sat himself beside Shaka.
"You mean?" This time Shaka asked.
"Ara knows I have another girl besides her." Abi's words were then cheered on by Shaka happily.
Of course it invited an angry look from Abi.
"How come you're cheering anyway?" abi protest.
"Yes yes. Finally Ara knew about this too. I wanted to tell him for a long time. How'd he know?" Shaka even asked curiously not at all sorry about his words just now.
"Who are you really? I or Ara?" ask Abi emotion.
"At first, I was lo, but now I don't want to have a friend who betrayed his girlfriend and had many girls." Shaka's words were quite striking for Abi.
"Nah diem kan lo. You think again if you want to hurt a girl, Bi. Nyokap lo girl too, who knows your child later also a girl. You want the people closest to you treated rich like that guy? Karma is coy" Shaka told Abi.
"Different story yes. I won't let my son or my son be betrayed by their boyfriend."
"That's what you know. Didn't Ara think that either? Tired he makes his son happy, make his son smile, uh even you hurt him. Lo imagine how the pain of both parents he because you already hurt his son."
Abi fell silent thinking about every word Shaka said.
As she told Stefani, it's not like she wouldn't make Ara sick if Ara didn't know about this.
Wasn't Stefani indirectly hurting Ara? Because if Stefani hadn't told Ara that, Ara wouldn't have known it and they would have been fine.
"If I can defend myself, I want to say that it's not my fault, but Stefani," said Abi.
