The Injured
Still Honey

Mr. Frans has determined the committee and also the filler at the event later. Doni, Echa, and Riza will sing one song.

Panitian has been formed, all the committee is preparing the event and also thinking about the idea to decorate the stage. They want this annual event to be a success.

"Where is the Echa cave a duet?" Riza. Echa was silent at Riza's words. The other students were loudly mocking.

"Mode," cried Doni.

Echa remains focused on the task it is carrying. He and the other two students were discussing, Radit approached and sat down beside Echa. Echa was surprised and looked at Radit. Just the sweet smile Radit showed.

From a distance Riza stared at the closeness of Radit and also Echa with sadness. "Why? Nyarris?" ask Doni.

"Gua still loves Echa," he added.

"Echa still love not the same you?" Riza was silent.

"Geliat Echa with the alumni's sister, Gua believes Echa has a special relationship with him." Riza looked at Doni with a look of dislike.

"Yes, look at it, Echa's laughter just came off. Moreover, the gaze is different from the guy," said Doni. Riza was just pissed off.

"Yang," call Tere.

Doni and Riza turned their heads towards Tere who was walking towards them. Unbeknownst to her embarrassment, she grabbed Riza by the hand and took Riza to sit in front of Echa.

Echa glanced at him with a dislike look. Similar to Radit, Radit is uncomfortable with Tere's attitude. Not because the two are jealous, but Tere's attitude is somewhat better.

Moreover, Tere was deliberately spoiled with Riza while Riza's eyes looked at Echa who was focusing on her task of being a committee.

"Are you done?" Echa flinched when Edit touched her hand.

"A little while, brother."

A jealous look on Riza's face. Especially now that Radit has been feeding Echa chocolate wrapped in purple.

"Nr ...."

"Let your brain run" Radit replied. Radit also gives two of Echa's friends the same chocolate.

"Sister Radit, why am I not loved?" ask Tere.

"You'll have a fiancee, ask for buyin to your fiancee" she sneered.

The two Echa friends held back laughter hearing Radit's scathing remarks. Unlike Echa, she did not budge at all.

"Yes, tomorrow is our break. It was a very late afternoon" said Echa. The two friends of Echa agreed.

"Udah finished?" Echa nodded slowly. Radit reached out his hand, Echa looked at Radit full of question marks. A smile filled with the meaning of Radit's lips.

Echa also returned Radit's smile and received Radit's hand. They both hold each other. And Riza just sighed harshly.

After arriving at the car park, Radit and Echa laughed in satisfaction. "Wicked you," said Echa. Echa knew this was Radit's way of making a pair of pigeons wartless.

"They're both mean to you, making out in front of you." Echa was silent.

"Let's be Brother" he said.

"Kok the darling even moody," seduced Radit who pinched Echa's cheek was anxious.

"Sick, Brother," he said, holding Radit's hand which was pinching his cheek.

Riza's steps stopped seeing the intimacy of Radit and Echa. His heart ached and his chest was very tight.

I gotta get you again, El. Must.

The next day, as usual, Radit takes Echa to school. Apparently Riza had been waiting for Echa since then. When Echa just passed the gate, she was confronted by Riza.

"I want to talk" said Riza.

"There's nothing we need to talk about" said Echa and walked away from Riza.

"El, wait," he shouted. However, Echa ignored Riza's call. Until Riza successfully blocks Echa's hand.

"I beg you, I need to talk" asked Riza.

"Gua hurry, Za. There's a PR that hasn't worked yet" he said.

"I can't believe you're not that kind of student."

"Ck, you know what," he jolted. Echa tries to release Riza's hand but fails.

"I won't let go of your hand before you let me talk to you" he added.

"Yes, I'm talking about what, '" said Echa.

Riza grasped Echa's hand, she stared at Echa's bead very deeply.

"El, actually I ...."

Hearing Radit's call to Echa makes Riza release her hand on Echa's hand.

"Turn back again?" ask Echa who has approached Radit.

Radit embraces Echa's shoulder. "Kangen," he whispered. Echa just laughed.

Radit hands over Echa's phone left in his car. "Geez, I'm senile."

"It's only natural, now that your brain is just me." Echa laughed too. "It's a dreadful morning" said Echa, pinching Radit's waist.

"Not a race but reality." Riza's like a mannequin doll over there. Seeing two lovebirds who are drunk in love, that's how she thought. It turns out that it hurts, seeing the people we love with their partners.

"I anterin you to class, afraid my boyfriend dibondol satan gondrong." Echa just shook her head looking at Radit's behavior.

After delivering Echa to her class, Riza blocks Radit's steps. "What is your relationship with El?" riza's asking was very cold.

"How did you see it?"

"Do not ask if you see what the reality is like" Radit said again. He also stretched his legs leaving Riza who was sculpting struggling with her own mind.

The hour of rest has arrived, after Echa eating Echa rushed to the art room to meet the other committee. Ecah is joined by two colleagues who get the same task as Echa.

Doni and Riza entered the room, Riza continued to watch Echa from a distance.

"Oh, let alone," said Doni in Riza's ear.

Riza just glanced in annoyance at Doni. And he grabbed a guitar that was not far from him. Riza plucked the strings of a guitar and let out a beautiful melody.

Oh ..

This is my sad story

I left him

How stupid of me

And now I'm sorry

Unbeauty

And that's you

Echa was silent to the lyrics of the song. The atmosphere in the room was silent.

God help me

Put him back in my arms

Because I can't change him

I admit, I honestly can't

I really can't

Echa exhaled her breath and closed her eyes for a moment. His heart was still tight to hear the lyrics of the song.

And I have lived it all

Love besides you

But nothing is the same

A thousand ways I traveled

But forget about you

But not capable

God help me

Put him back in my arms

Because I can't change him

I admit, I honestly can't

I really can't

The guitar sound stopped. Riza got up from her seat approaching Echa who was struggling with her own thoughts.

"El, I still love you. I want you back to be my lover ...."

****

Happy reading ....
