The atmosphere of rest in the classroom is quite quiet. Most students head to the canteen to fill their stomachs. There are still some people in the class. So did Nehan and Tia. Nehan was busy looking for the chocolate she kept in her bag.
"look what?" tanya Tia saw Nehan's bustle rummaging through the contents of her bag.
"search chocolate. I had it in my bag." Nehan said uneasily.
"you eat chocolate?"
"it's him" said Nehan, smiling widely and kissing his chocolate.
"it's not for me." continued Nehan.
"so for me?" tia asked while thrusting her hand.
"boil gr-ran!" nehan said while patting Tia's palm.
"who did it for!"
"make an Eca."
"what?!!" tia exclaimed while hitting the table strong enough that the attention of the remaining students in the class turned towards them.
"relaxed. Hopefully, Eca will return it to me! haha . . ."
Nehan stood up from his seat. Bringing chocolate in the right hand while smiling widely. With steady steps he walked towards the Eca class.
The man sitting at the end of the class on the left stared at Nehan's departure. He also heard Nehan and Tia chatter. I don't know why he's not excited to learn anymore. He threw his pen strong enough to be thrown and fell to the floor. He ruffled his hair and picked up his falling pen. He pocketed the pen and went out to Eca class. He wanted to see what Eca and Nehan were going to do. They hugged again like yesterday.
On the other hand Eca was talking to Nehan. Nehan thrust one chocolate bar towards Eca with a big smile. The clueless Eca raised one of her eyebrows.
"this is a thank you to yesterday and a bribe" Nehan said steadily.
"bribe?"
"yes. So you don't tell anyone else about me playing the slot."
"no. It doesn't matter either. Go there" said Eca, shaking her hand at Nehan.
"jobs. . . Don't reject. It's from Japan loh Ca. This viral one over there. Guaranteed to taste wuenak!" nehan said the exact spirit of SPG who is offering its goods to customers.
"you have money to buy chocolate from Japan but no money to pay the loan shark's debt" Eca blicked her lips and shook her head to look at Nehan.
"i didn't buy Ca. My dad bought this. If I don't have money."
"just keep on saying I don't want to! You want to give me 100 chocolates. I still don't want to!"
"read the code. Would you like 100 chocolates, would you?" nehan asked as he rolled his eyes at Eca.
"no Nehan!" eca beat Nehan furiously.
When Eca hit Nehan, she turned her back on Nehan. Both hands are crossed. He breathes fast. His heart was still beating fast because it was holding back anger.
Instead of being angry, Nehan chuckled at Eca's behavior. She looks like Eca is so cute now. The sulking Eca beside him reminded him of their courtship times. Had he still been dating Eca, Nehan would have clasped his hands tightly to channel his anxiety. My darling is an ex. Nehan had to hold himself back to hold Eca's hand. While biting his lips, Nehan opened the chocolate in his hand. He broke the chocolate and put it in Eca's open mouth because she was mumbling. Exactly Eca swallowed the chocolate.
From the view of others they assume that Nehan is bribing Eca romantically. That is what Gian is considered to be at the moment. Just as she came to look for the whereabouts of Eca and Nehan, she had to see the scene of Nehan bribing Eca. Gian can no longer. He clenched a strong hand and left from where he stood.
"what the hell is Nehan!" eca snapped at Nehan who carelessly put food in her mouth while she was still mumbling.
"but make it?"
It is undeniable that chocolate from Japan is very delicious. When Eca bit him earlier, the chocolate immediately melted in the mouth. Sweetness and premium chocolate. Different from chocolate commonly sold in the market. Good food can still defeat the prestige of Eca.
"bawls! Yaudah I brought all this. You are the one who made it!" Eca snatches the rest of the chocolate in Nehan's hands and leaves the classroom.

After once Eca saw Gian who was walking when he came home from school. It's a good time for Eca to approach Gian. Yesterday he didn't get close to the man because of crazy Rani. Remembering the woman again made Eca upset.
"Gian! Wait!" Eca ran over to Gian.
"there's something I want to talk to you about."
"can't be long. My driver was on the road" Gian said without glancing at Eca in the slightest. His tone was impressed.
"we-we can sit there for a second?"
Gian did not answer. He left Eca and walked towards the seat that Eca had appointed. Behind Gian, Eca walked slowly while thinking about Gian's unusual attitude. His current attitude was like the beginning when they were not close.
"you want to discuss something with you, what should I choose between these" said Eca took out a paper in her bag and sat next to Gian.
Gian took the paper that Eca had proffered to him. He read the paper for a while. Gian remained calm. But the look in his eyes was different from the usual. This time his eyes were cold. Eca can see it from the side.
"i don't know which one to choose between these. I want to enter an ordinary university that is quiet but I also want to enter a top university but there are many rivals. I have to how is Gian?"
"which one do you prefer?" gian was still staring at the paper.
"both of them I like."
"can't do. There must be a first and second priority."
"but if I pick one and throw one. I'm afraid I'm sorry. I'm worried that the job opportunities of a regular university graduate are few but getting into a top university is also very difficult." Eca scratched her head in frustration.
"you have chosen both."
"what??"
"selected together there are three choices of majors at two universities that you can choose. You can love the majors and universities that you are most interested in in the first place the rest enter in second and third place. In part it is up to you to graduate from which university you have the expertise you must be useful" explained Gian still reluctant to look at Eca.
"ah yes! What you said! ma-god her opinion Gian" Eca's spirit slumped when she saw Gian who was still staring at the paper and reluctant to look at Eca.
"hm."
"why are you Gian?"
"no. I'll go first."
Gian handed him the paper and just passed by. Eca stared at Gian's departure while wondering. Why is Gian so indifferent to her? Didn't they ever agree to be friends? Are they enemies again? Or did Eca make a mistake? Eca kept thinking about the possible causes for Gian to cheat on her today.
Until he arrived at the house Eca still thought about Gian. But not anymore. Ever since Eca saw her papa car that crashed this afternoon parking in front of the house. Eca is back. The father is home now and it is a miracle. Papa usually comes home late at night and often even out of town.
Eca ran fast. Take off shoes with the original on the front door. His smile was wide. Until the guest room, Eca's smile disappeared instantly.
"i don't let you go pa!!" yelled mama while pointing at papa with an angry face.
"i have to go!! I work!!" snapped papa towards mama.
Prangs!!
Instantaneous silence. Eca saw the mama who was bored with the rest of the tears glinting at the corner of the eye. He looked down, staring at the suitcase slammed onto the floor. Mama doesn't like to slam things but this time she does. His hands clenched tightly until his fine veins stood out. My mom doesn't regret doing it.
"as you pass through this house. You'll be sorry." Mama's heartfelt thought.
