The Rival Beside Me
New Changes

Almost two weeks Bersakan did not see the trunk of his nose in class. That was what Lala had hoped for. But the truth is, now every day Lala is wailing. He feels lost. Nothing else surprises and annoys him. All of this bored him. Even since coming, Lala was seen knocking her pen on the table. Without feeling one by one his friends entered the class.

All of this he did not care.

Sani who saw it was just a head bobble.

" Not to hate him so much. It's the opposite now, right?" Sani Temptation.

Lala immediately glanced sharply at Sani. Sani just laughed.

" It was La. Don't have that prestige." Saran Fani's.

" Once no, yes no!." Lala.

After the lecture, Lala headed straight to the library.

" I go first!" Lala just walked away. Sani and Fani again could only look at each other.

Lala suddenly wanted to focus on completing her script. He didn't want his mind to get screwed up. He wants to pass and get out of the zone that makes him toxic himself. Lala surrounds the library. One by one the book as the source of the script He took, and He brought it on a table near his laptop.

His fingers danced on the laptop, composing sentence after sentence for his script. Sometimes he stretches his hands when he is tired.

Lala glanced at her watch.

" It's late." Her thought.

He turned off his laptop and stuffed it in a bag. Return the source books to their original place.

Tiredness made Lala a little out of focus. He stumbled and almost fell.

" La!" Suddenly Dimas called out to him.

" Yes, Why Dim?" Lala looks ordinary. The taste that once existed has disappeared like being swallowed by the earth. Lala buried him deep.

" Hmmm, I'm sorry." Her speech.

" I used to completely misunderstand and not believe you."Added.

Lala just smiled.

" Oyeah, Is it true to Rise Abroad?"

Lala was surprised.

" Say who?" Lala doesn't believe it.

" John said it."

Lala looks between believing and doubt.

" Kirain, you know."

" No, I don't know." Lala.

" First Dim."

Dimas nodded his head. A sense of sadness was clearly still implied on his face. The misunderstanding that had once occurred was still coloring in Dimas' mind. But not Lala. Lala quickly forgot the things that hurt her heart.

Lala kept stepping. He thought of Dimas' words about Rise.

'Really? But why didn't He say anything to me?' Think Lala.

' Who am I?' Lala immediately clenched her own forehead with a pen.

Time keeps passing. Rise who had been Lala's rival. No longer visible stem of his nose in the cube. Lala has also resigned from her family-owned retail company Bangkit.

But since Risen out of the country, Andra has never bothered him.

" Maybe he was forced out of the country? Suddenly Lala asked herself.

" Who's La?" Ask Sani.

" Owh not San. I mean, this revision of my script is no longer there." Lala's reasoning was far from the topic.

It didn't feel like Lala was already filing a trial schedule for her script.

" I'm San first."

" Ok." Sani still looks busy fiddling with the script.

Lala seemed to want to roll back memories in this campus. He passed through the corridor of the library building to the BEM room. Where it becomes the closeness of Him with the Resurrection begins more intensely.

Lala opened and entered the BEM room, which was now never locked. Still neat as before. He's running through every table. Imagine how He and Risen would often clash in that room like tom and jerry.

" Oh My God. I'm late." Grouse Lala.

Lala left for college as soon as she had breakfast.

" Good luck." Father cheers.

Her stepmother smiled cynically.

Lala got used to all that. It became an everyday food.

In spirit, Lala headed straight for the courtroom. Some of his friends came and waited in front of the room.

" Hey La!" Sani ran to him.

" Good La, you're finally trial."

" Yes, you also hope quick trial huh. The spirit!"Lala turned encouraging.

" Yes La. Thanks." Thanks."

...***...

Four Years Later.

For almost three years, Lala has worked as a secretary in a well-known foreign company. Her stepmother was obviously proud. The family economy is more stable than ever.

In the afternoon, Lala sat in her office lobby. He took a long breath. The person he was waiting for had not yet come.

The wind was still faithfully hitting his face since then. The chirping of birds in this afternoon seemed to sing a song of longing for him.

' I miss him.' Lala's heart suddenly couldn't lie.

Although it is clearly different now. Time has changed everything.

But the regret he still felt. Yes, all this time it turns out that he was Risen not Dimas or other guys. It was a big mistake that he deserved to regret. If only he had acknowledged that time. He did not need to lose this kind of contact and communication.

Lala closed her eyes so she could see the shadow of her face. It was still clearly reflected on his face, his smile, his eyes, his innocence even the last of his anger.

'Could he still remember me? Even though I'm just a rival. His messiness.' Inner Lala.

Lala. He also opened his eyes again. Lala thought too. Rise up can't remember it anymore. Even he left without Lala's knowledge. Obviously his departure was aimed at deciding all the stories and forgetting everything.

" La!" Sani's voice surprised him.

Only Sani is still faithful to be his best friend until this moment. Even today He understands Lala's sometimes unclear heart.

" Have you come?"

Lala nodded.

" Come !!!"

Lala walked to her parked car right in front of her workplace. And get in Sani's car. Actually, Lala didn't want to bother him today. But what can make his own car is sulking asking to enter the workshop.

" How did you do today?"

Sani looks stale.

" usual. Busy with the Director schedule. I'm not a secretary major but management. But I don't know why I was put in the secretary's department, since the old secretary two months ago resigned. You alone ? "

Lala turned towards Sani.

" Maybe you look like you can position it. I was busy meeting clients. Until I get my head woozy." Complain Sani.

Lala smiled listening to Sani's opinion and her grievances.

" Why don't you work for your own father San's company? Isn't that better?" Ask Lala.

" I still want to be independent first, to feel how hard it is to work with the rules of others.  " Sani obviously makes Lala proud.

" A very mature thought."

Sani smiled proudly at the compliment from his best friend. The streets that are jammed in this afternoon make them a little hungry.

" Aiiish, why is the kodomo always passing by." Gerrutu Sani's.

" Just wear a kodomo to carry." Sahut Lala feels crisp
