The Rival Beside Me
Unexpected

Today Lala looks busy back and forth filing the thesis title.

" Lala! " Yuri's voice call shook her as Lala walked towards the classroom.

" Hey Ri. Wh why? " Tanya Lala remained ordinary. He had forgotten what happened a year ago. And forgave him.

" Is this weekend you're off? Sani says we want to walk together when you're off. All accompanied him to meet the man who was betrothed by his father." Evidently.

" okay. This weekend I'm off."Lala clear.

Lala walked back to class. Sani and Fani are already seen in the classroom.

Lala sat among them.

" I hope the guy you recommended this time didn't disappoint. So this weekend we're on, aren't we La?

"  Sani who was focused on her phone now turned to look at Lala.

Lala nodded.

" Say he is old."

" Wasn't that great. More mature." Lala.

" It's true." Sani.

The lecturer was seen entering the room. And obviously the course begins.

...***...

The atmosphere of the canteen is so crowded. The three of us sat down in our usual place.

" la. Looks like Rise is watching you." Fani surprised Lala.

Lala looked up to Rise. But he has shifted his gaze. And it looks as if he is chatting with Eko.

They go back to class after the break is over. At exactly 15:30 Lala left the campus.

As usual, Lala went straight to work which only took 15 minutes. A black car with the same license plate last night was parked clearly in front of Lala's workplace.

' That dork guy? ' Lala's mind was curious.

Lala immediately entered the employee room and changed uniforms. But the owner of the car had not been seen at all in his eyes since. Exactly at 16:00 shif change. Lala's headed to the cashier's. Finally he saw Andra. Andra looks like she's shopping.

Lala pretended not to see him and was busy with her work. Andre looks towards the cashier section. Lala just smiles kindly to other customers.

" Your smile is so sweet, Miss. May I ask your no.wa? " Tanyanya in the midst of Lala men's busyness - scan her groceries.

" Sorry. Employees and employees here should not give their no.wa to the customer. That's clearly in the written rules of work here." Lala's greeting and explanation made Andre laugh.

" Then I'll ask Grandma to change the rules specifically for customers like me. " Said Andre while handing over his Debit Card.

" I hope you don't do that. Obviously it violates human rights about at will."

Obviously Lala ngarang while handing over Debit cards and groceries.

" You're making me even more curious. See you next time." Andre said then walked towards the exit.

Lala smiled cynically in response. He is back focused on his work.

...***...

Time passes so quickly. Without feeling like finally a holiday. Lala is getting ready to go out with Sani, Yuri and Fani. Lala wears a blue hair strap.

The ringing of the hp made him take his eyes off the mirror.

" Hello."

" La, hurry! "

" okay. I'll be right out. " Lala said, ending Sani's call

Sani's car was seen in front of his house. Lucky Lala has a good friend like Sani. They accept the condition of Lala's family is much different.

Lala opened Sani's car door and sat down next to her. Fani and Yuri are seen inside the car.

They head to Sani's place of agreement and the guy her father recommended.

" Are you sure about that guy now?" Ask Lala.

" My dad says he's the son of his best friend who used to be handsome when he was young. So his son must be a handsome one. That fits my criteria." Sani.

Finally the car parked in front of a cafe with a memory cafe.

They entered the cafe. And headed for the table that had been ordered previously with Sani. The four of them sat there.

"  Said he'd also bring three friends so you wouldn't be a mosquito repellent. From his picture he really looks handsome according to my type." Obviously Sani at length was curious.

" Do I look beautiful? " Sani is over again.

" It's been."Fani replied excitedly.

Lala looked outwards, precisely the front area of the cafe. Lala was surprised to see the figure of the person who had just come out of the black car. Lala slightly rubbed her eyes. And make sure to see it again.

' rise? Andra?' Inner Lala wondered. Yes, they were seen walking into this cafe. But they don't look alone. They were seen walking with two of his friends.

Rise up surprised to see the four of them. Lala immediately lowered her head back.

" Hey, hey, hei. What are you guys doing here? " Tanya Rise Seriously.

" Oh My Good. All are handsome ." Fani laughed.

" I don't regret accompanying your match." Yuri added between confused, surprised or wanting to laugh.

" My dad wasn't wrong, was he? Why is there a resurrection? Good looking, but I'm ashamed of it." Complain Sani.

" I don't know. " Answer Yuri and Fani compactly.

While Lala chose silence even though she was also very surprised.

Sounds They look to pull each other's stools. Andra immediately had her eyes fixed on Lala. Lala pretended not to know him.

" So you're Andra my father's best friend's son? " Tanya Sani made Andra surprised and turned her head towards him.

" Well, Rise? How can you come?"

" Hmmm. I don't know. My brother dragged me." Rise up and roll both his eyes.

" Sister?" Lala said spontaneously.

" Nih My sister is the most beautiful and smart-ass." Clearly Rise pointed at Andra.

Lala immediately widened her eyes.

' Worthy, same martial arts.' Inner Lala.

"So you're Sani?" Ask Andra.

Sani nodded his head.

" Do you know my sister?"

" Obviously, he's on campus with us." Sani is outspoken.

Lala just kept quiet. Get up seriously looking at Lala. Yuri and Fani looked at each other.

" Oya meet my three friends. Lala, Fani and Yuri." Said Sani introducing his friends.

" I already know." Chirps Rise.

" Yes! I'm talking to your sister."Sani.

Andra still looked strangely at Lala.

" It's good to meet you guys. Also meet my friends Rangga and Hendra."  He said, showing one-on-one.

" Rise up You must have known."Added Andra.

They finally got into a conversation. Talking to each other and sometimes a little joke Rangga made them laugh.

Finally their lunch begins. Lala doesn't look so tasteful.

' So I work where his family's company rises?' Lala's mind was getting claustrophobic about it.

Though He wanted to quickly graduate and be free from his rival.When Bangkit looked seriously at Lala who seemed to be depressed by the circumstances.

' Is this because of me?'

' I shouldn't have obeyed Andra's coercion.'

' I don't want Lala to be depressed knowing she works for my family's company.'

Rise up feeling guilty for yourself. Lately Bangkit felt like protecting Lala. Although Lala always considered Him her rival in every way.

Suddenly the phone rang.

" Hello. "

" Kit, Eko. Eko challenged Vino to race."

" What's? Kob can."

"Because you didn't come. That's why your hunt's here."John's voice sounded worried.

" okay. I'm otw." Rise up straight up.

" I'm sorry, I'm staying first guysss."

" Bit!!! Stop!!!" Andra. But the rise kept going.

Lala, Sani, Fani and Yuri are shocked by Andra's response.

" Where did you rise?" Tanya Lala ventured.

" Hmmmm, ordinary. He's in a wild race, so today I forced him to come with me. Let's not race." Obviously Andra was visibly upset by her sister's behavior.

Lala was surprised. He just found out, it turns out Rise a wild racing boy. All this time he didn't really care and pay attention to her.
