Flashback 6 months ago...

Heavy rain flushed Nusa Bangsa High School. Many students have gone home.

A girl was sitting at the picket table. He called someone with a pissed face.

"Where the hell, sir?! I've been waiting a long time, how cold again!"

"Sorry non, the car broke down. So non-return by taxi"

"Why didn't you tell me from earlier, sir? I don't have to be tired of waiting for a gini." The girl hung up the phone rudely.

"Miss-all?"

A man behind her. The girl then turned her head and saw Wildan greeting her.

"Eh Wildan. Why haven't you come home yet?" Ask Ayunda.

"I have business, this is just coming home. Why are you still here?" Ask Wildan while sitting near Ayunda.

"My car broke down, so I can't get you here" Ayunda said with a sad expression.

"Ooh, if I may, I can help you." Said Wildan offering.

"Are you not taking nicotine?" Ask Ayunda

"No, come on" Wildan pulled Ayunda's hand toward his car.

They also left the High School. In the car, there was confusion between the two of them.

"Have you got a boyfriend yet Yun?" Said Wildan trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Not Wil."

"How long have you been friends with Clara and her friends?" Ask Wildan.

"Since SMP. I was in a group with them during the school introduction, from which we started to make friends"

After a moment of silence, Ayunda ventured to ask Wildan even though she was a little hesitant.

"Sorry that I'm sassy, but why would you want to date Clara?"

"hehhh, don't tell anyone this. Actually I was dating Clara because I needed her. My father was always angry when he saw my grades, so I used Clara. I told her to do my duty and miraculously she wanted to. My dad says if my grades are bad, then he'll block my credit cards, so that's why I'm using Clara."

Ayunda was silent, he did not expect that all this time Wildan only used Clara.

Wildan who saw Ayunda speechless became anxious, he was afraid that Ayunda would tell Clara, because Wildan knew Ayunda and Clara were friends.

"Why are you quiet?"

"I just didn't expect, I thought you actually liked it" Ayunda replied casually.

Wildan's forehead wrinkled, he thought Ayunda would slap and scold him for using his best friend, but Ayunda looked relaxed.

"Oh yeah, why are you telling me this? You know if I'm Clara's best friend, you're not afraid I'll tell Clara that she's only at benefit" Ayunda said.

"You were the one who did it, so I just answered"

Ayunda was silent again, indeed he had asked.

"You want to know something?"

Wildan stopped his car, he looked at Ayunda who was also staring at him. The heavy rain changed with drizzle.

"Actually I like someone else and that person is you, Ayunda"

Ayunda's eyes rounded upon hearing Wildan's confession, his body pecked at the rapid beating of his heart.

He was happy because it turned out his love did not clap one hand.

Ayunda has always liked Wildan. Who doesn't like a handsome guy like him. When she hears from Clara that Wildan likes her and wants to date her, Ayunda's heart aches, he hates Clara for taking the person he likes and now Wildan declares that he likes her.

"So, do you want to be my girlfriend?"

Wildan's words broke his daydream.

"You already have a boyfriend, there's no way I'm gonna be your girlfriend, right?" Tanya Ayunda cynical.

"I'll decide on Clara but not now, I still need her. But I promise I'll break it off and tell everyone that you're my girlfriend" Wildan tried to convince.

After thinking for a while, he finally agreed. She wanted to avenge her heartache to Clara.

All this time she hated Clara, although not very beautiful, but she was popular with her cleverness, that made her envious. Coupled with Wildan who became his girlfriend, the hatred grew in his heart.

"We'll see if you'll still smile when you find out that I've taken your beloved girlfriend" he said in his heart.

And from that moment on, she and Wildan are dating without Clara and anyone else's knowledge. And the events at the birthday show are one of her plans to break Clara's heart, and she succeeds.

...----------------...

On the way home, Clara was endlessly crying. He had no idea that Ayunda had taken Wildan away from him all this time.

"I was a fool, I should have known that they were hiding their relationship behind my back. People say that love is blind. All the evidence is there, but I still trust you. Have you guys only benefited me all this time?. Why was it that I accepted Wildan, I should have known, people didn't seem to like me." Say it in the heart.

Clara caught them both a few times. But when asked, they always say accidentally meet and just chat. Clara trusted Wildan and Ayunda. So he didn't matter, despite the suspicion in his heart, but he tried to shake it off.

"Hello"

"........."

"WHAT!!! Alright I'll be there soon" Suddenly the girl's face turned pale, she became very panicked, she hurriedly went somewhere.

Arriving at the place, he saw someone crying in front of the ER room and that person was his sister, Lailatul Asyifah Hapsari

"Maila"

"Kakaaak!!, huhuhuhu" Laila ran to hug him while sobbing.

"Calm down. Mom's gonna be okay. You don't have to worry, our mother is a strong person, right?" Clara tried to calm her sister, but she was also worried about her mother.

Her mother had been suffering from acute stomach disease. Actually his mother often relapses, but never said it and if it relapses, it will only take medicine.

Clara did not expect that her mother's stomach disease was very severe, because she thought her mother had been fine all along.

"With the family of Miss Tari?"

A doctor arrived and asked them.

"Yes doc." Answer Clara.

"Can come to my room. I have something to talk about"

"Good doc. La, sister go first yes, you just wait here" After saying that, Clara then followed the doctor to her room.

"Please sit down" said the doctor.

"All right, I'll get to the point. Your mother has acid reflux disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease/GERD is a condition when stomach acid rises into the esophagus or esophagus. This condition can cause pain in the heartburn, heartburn, and various other symptoms in the lower chest and stomach area. Untreated stomach acid can trigger inflammation, the formation of scar tissue, and abnormal tissue growth in the esophagus. As a result, the esophagus can be narrower and stiffer. This makes it difficult for sufferers to swallow food, drinks, and shortness of breath. We must perform gastric cutting surgery (gastrectomy) is a procedure performed to remove part or all of the stomach. Please sign it and take care of the administrative costs."

The doctor's words certainly made him very devastated. He did not want to lose his mother, but he did not have the money to pay for the operation.

"Well doc, I'll immediately look for a fee to pay for the operation and I'll sign it later. Then excuse me, thank you"

Clara went to the reception desk.After that, her mother was then moved to the treatment room.

*ceklex*

"sister"

Clara approached her sister, she sat down next to her and looked at her sleeping mother.

"La, why did you get to go here?"

"I don't know brother, not long brother left, mother said her stomach hurt, her chest tight, and her face pale. I called a neighbor to take mom to the hospital"

Clara hugged her crying sister.

'Oh my God, Mom, why don't you tell me that you've been sick all this time, if you say you can know, let me just work, you rest'

Clara cried in silence, not healed from the affair of her best friend and her lover even came new wounds, her mother lying weak in the hospital.

"Laila, you go with me. Brother has a little business"

Clara stood up and prepared to go out.

"Where's sis?"

"Buying food, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Ask Clara.

Laila just nodded.

"Yes, brother go first."

Clara didn't buy food right away, she went to the park to get all the bugs out of her brain.

There she cried with satisfaction. Today was the worst day of his life. His girlfriend and best friend had an affair, his mother went to the hospital and had to undergo surgery immediately. Not to mention the cost to pay for the operation.

During this time Clara helped her mother to finance their lives.His mother was just a laundry laborer around their residence.

During this time he worked in a restaurant after school to help his mother make money.

Her father had died in an accident when she was 7 years old. Clara and Laila had to lose their father when they were young, especially when Laila was 2 years old. Since then, her mother has been the backbone of the family.

"Why does this all have to happen at the same time? How do I pay for my mom's operation? Is it my fault that I have to be punished like this? My first boyfriend and best friend had an affair, now my mom's in the hospital. Can't you just let me breathe for a little while? hyx. hyx"

Unbeknownst to Clara, a young man, wearing a black hoodie in jeans, was sitting next to him and listening to all his words.

"I can help you pay for your mother's surgery and help you take revenge on your best friend and boyfriend. But you have to be my paid girlfriend first..."

The presence of the young man certainly made Clara surprised. The girl immediately wiped her tears, then took a peek at the face of the man beside her, but alas, her face was covered in a hoodie.

"Whatchu mean? Did you hear what I said just now?" Ask Clara.

"certain. Your cry until it sounds far away. Out of curiosity I came here. Good thing there aren't many people, otherwise they could be excited at the sound of your crying."

The young man's words made Clara's face red. He didn't know that his voice was that loud.

"So what about my offer? Do you want to?" Ask the young man.

"Emm, I can't. I do need money but I don't want to be your paid boyfriend. What if you do something bad to me. I don't know you anyway, so I'm sorry." Clara was about to get out of her seat, but the young man held her hand.

"Are you sure you don't recognize me?"

The young man opened the hoodie that covered his face, Clara's eyes widened when she knew who the young man was.
