Chp. 9 Nesya Anindira and farewell(1).

Evans House looks very bright from another house, a lot of people in and out there. There are also suspicious ones, one of which is a teenage girl who keeps circling this.

The girl always looked at Evans' house from the outside, she seemed to dissolve with her own thoughts until she was unaware of someone greeting her from behind.

"Ney?" A man who was walking with his group and greeting Ney.

"Replace?" Ney was surprised by the appearance of Rendi who came out of nowhere.

Rendi was confused because the figure of the girl who kept spinning from earlier turned out to be Ney. Rendi was Ney's former lover, they broke up three days after Evans took up training.

"What are you waiting for, you're not coming in?" Rendi pointed at the house.

"Just go first, Ren." Ney only smiled faintly, his face filled with many thoughts of stepping up or not right now.

Looking at Ney who seemed to doubt it then reminded him of something, "Ney what you might like me so-" Unfinished Rendi spoke Ney immediately shook her head tightly.

'Damn-!' Rendi Umbat.

"Sorry Ren, I forgot something like that. I'll go first, bye." Before leaving Ney laughed awkwardly in front of Rendi.

"Basically, why should everyone like a guy with that market face, anyway!" It was as if Rendi thought the world was unfair. Rendi finally entered the house by scratching her head.

...***...

Tomorrow, July 25 at 00:00 Evans will be sixteen.

That night in his house seemed crowded with various people. But the most there of course is his extended family they gather there filled the room one by one.

Evans' house is beautifully decorated using many brightly lit lamps.

Mia seemed busy preparing various foods, instead Fery instead ate them little by little before delivering them to the living room.

Guests were shocked by the food, which was always in such an incomplete condition. In the corner Evans who had noticed just laughed giggling with his grandfather.

Many people gathered there such as friends, relatives, and school friends. But one of the people Evans didn't invite was like...

"Woah, so you're Henri? The Sadistic Instructor?!"

"Huh, Seriously? Oh, my God, can I have a selfie for a second?"

"Mr Henri, you are very good at training all Indonesian players, even one of them penetrated to the top 20!"

Henri burst into laughter after hearing their praises.

"That's right, I'm telling you all. The student I trained all this time was still weak. My real student is Evans, Evans Mallory is the man who will conquer the Tower later hahaha."

After saying that the crowd that had surrounded Henri slowly disappeared and turned to look at him with pity.

Evans, who saw him, smiled faintly, and remained calm even after Henri mentioned him, but Evans wondered how Henri knew his address.

Evans then walked quickly and patted Henri on the shoulder to take him out.

The courtyard of Evans' house is not too broad and not too small, there is an aunt and uncle Evans they are seen burning fish and chicken meat.

After Evans found an empty spot in his yard, Evans began to ask questions and chat with Henri.

"Sorry sir, how did you know there would be a party here." Ask Evans.

"Of course I know because most would-be players might as well be like this."

Evans and Henri then chatted for quite a while there.

"In a moment Rise will also be here, I managed to convince her to calm down and save your thanks for later." Henri smiled broadly after saying so.

Evans was just silent and listening, however, the party would look more lively if many people were partying.

Evans eventually decided to go back because he saw people starting to go inside as well. Before returning Evans saw some people who were peeking out.

The curious Evans also took a look, he then found a sight that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Rendi then goes to walk to Evans' house after parting ways with Ney, she is seen scratching her head repeatedly.

"Aah! Those two guys really made my head almost explode. Hid. There's no other choice. I'm just gonna help you this time and after we're gonna play with men, Evans!" Rendi clucked in annoyance and started running to the house looking for Evans.

**

A birthday cake suddenly came out the moment Evans went inside, he smiled broadly and approached everyone. Evans looked at the oddly shaped birthday cake.

"Is that the shape of a person's face." Evans looked at her suspiciously.

"I don't think my face is like this." Evans smiled awkwardly at the cake, the sound of applause then began to sound along with a loud chant.

Evans looked around at everyone each making a big smile.

Fery was closing her eyes and singing loudly, beside her Mia now covered her ears so hard her husband sang. Mia just opened her mouth to Evans.(All-la-mat-repeated-years.)

Grandpa, Uncle and Aunt Evans smiled at Evans and pointed at the cake.

Behind Evans Prof. Rise suddenly appears and starts singing, she sings very melodious in contrast to Fery. Alongside Rise, Henri unceasingly let out tears behind his glasses.

The song started to change, and now everyone's telling Evans to blow out the candles. As Evans closed his eyes, everyone stopped singing and left Rise singing solo to the end.

Evans opened both eyes and smiled faintly after hearing the song end, he blew the blazing fire in front of him gently.

A loud applause was heard again.

**

After the cake was cut and distributed, the atmosphere in Evans' house returned silent some had even returned home, leaving Evans' house in a mess.

Evans who intends to help clean up the trash around him was immediately reprimanded by Mia, he told Evans to go and rest.

Evans sat pensively looking at a holographic screen with a timer remaining 30 minutes away. He sighed before turning his gaze towards Rendi who was approaching.

"Evans!"

"What's up."

"I'll say it! Before you go to the Tower I have a request!"

Evans then nodded and accepted the request from his friend.

"You just have to listen to what I'm going to say. Don't ask too many questions and just listen to this reality."

Once again Evans nodded, he probably already knew what Rendi was going to say. Evans thought of Ney and that would not change.

"Evans, it's all about my relationship with Ney." Rendi began to be astonished after seeing Evans who did not react anything with his words.

"Lick."

"You know me and Ney have absolutely nothing to do, we're just pure friends." Rendi gulped her saliva actually she was unable to say it but she was forced.

"So that's it." Evans closed his eyes.

"Just like that? Do you think I'd give up a beautiful woman like Ney just for you, huh?! Fuck-it!" Rendi grabbed the phone in her pants pocket and then looked for something there.

A few seconds later, Rendi showed Evans a chat screen. Now Evans' face has changed a little.

"What are you guys really doing." Evans slightly frowned in surprise, while it only made Rendi smile.

"You saw for yourself he was worried about you and made a fake relationship with me." Rendi started to chuckle, "She, always worried about you, stupid..."

Evans then took Rendi's phone and read the messages there one by one. Ney's conversation that asks for Rendi's help, and then they end up dating.

"So this is all your fault." Evans who saw their chat and found the main initiator was Rendi just stared at him sharply.

Evans first felt hesitant if the message was just made up, but after seeing the date and time of its delivery made Evans finally choose to believe.

Evans immediately stood up from his place, the time he had was very thin at only about fifteen minutes.

"Hey, where are you going? Ney couldn't be still outside, you better call-" Unfinished Rendi spoke to the sound of a loud door slam.
