Ana is now at her home. After returning home from the clinic, Jeff drove her home. Doctors have given medicine to relieve the heat, fortunately chili powder is not too damaging to the skin, only a little hot and sore in the eyes. But everything has been handled by a doctor so there is nothing to worry about.
Jeff says goodbye to go home, but Anah spoiledingly holds him back.
"Please .. accompany me for a moment." Pinta Anah while holding Jeff's arm and leaning his body.
Jeff took off Anah's hand and distanced his body.
"I'll keep you company but let me go first."
Ana then released him. Jeff didn't say much, he just kept quiet and looked down. He was thinking about Nirmala, he felt that his attitude had been too excessive.
"Areally who gave the chili powder that?" ask Jeff suddenly.
Anah flinched and still did not want to be honest. He said that the powder he got from Nirmala's hand.
It's true what I said, I did get the powder from Nirmala's hand. Although I actually knew it was from Salsa, Salsa wanted to harm Nirmala but I was the one who got it. His inner.
"Well, if you're not honest, I'm going home." Jeff said, now standing up.
"I really got it out of Nirmala's hands. Why don't you believe it?"
"Because I knew Nirmala wasn't that kind of person, she couldn't have done it." Jeff defends Nirmala and makes Anah feel upset.
At school, Jeff seemed unconcerned with Nirmala. Why now is he defending her and cornering me. Her mind is Ana again.
"Once you go, I'm going home. Don't forget to take the medicine. Hope you get well soon, however you're the chairman of our camp event." Said Jeff as he passed away leaving Anah.

Meanwhile, Nirmala, whose heart was calm, also said goodbye to Kevin to go home. If you wait for Kevin, it can be late afternoon or even evening.
"Are you sure you want to go home?" ask Kevin.
Nirmala nodded. They then walked out of the canteen to the lobby. Kevin found a taxi for Nirmala, not long after the taxi came, Kevin opened the door and closed it again when Nirmala was sitting inside. He asked the taxi driver to take Nirmala home carefully. He also paid first but did not know how much the fare was, but he paid enough so that the taxi driver was very happy.
"I think it's too much, sir." The taxi driver said as he received money from Kevin.
Kevin just smiled and told him to drive Nirmala.
"Mala, be careful?" Kevin said with a smile.
Nirmala smiled back at Kevin and the taxi passed. It looks like Kevin is waving his hand still accompanied by a very sweet smile.
Nirmala sat in the car playing her phone. Suddenly the taxi stopped.
"What's up, sir?" ask Nirmala to be curious.
"Don't know Non, it looks like something's wrong with the wheel."
The taxi driver then went out and checked, sure enough, the wheels were leaking. Don't know what the cause is. Feeling bad, the taxi driver returned some of Kevin's money, but Nirmala refused.
"It's okay, it's your fortune. In front there is a stop, I can still take the bus. Thanks." Nirmala said and left the taxi.
Nirmala continued walking and accelerated in order to get to the stop. That day the sun was shining quite brightly. Suddenly a motor stopped beside him and startled him. He saw that the bike was no stranger. The man who was riding the bike then opened his helmet. Jeff, Jeff accidentally saw Nirmala walking alone. While still on the road, Jeff's mind did not want to stop and ignore him, but not with his heart. His heart forced him to approach Nirmala and take her on the bike together.
"Get it." Said Jeff.
"Not to." Nirmala refused and continued walking towards the stop.
Jeff then chased after her and still continued to force her. He also apologized.
"I'm sorry," Jeff said.
"I'm sorry for what?" ask Nirmala.
"For everything, you should also apologize to me." Jeff said again.
Nirmala suddenly stopped her path and looked at Jeff.
"Why should I apologize to you?"
"Yesterday night you made me wait a long time at the restaurant."
"Oh that, I did it on purpose." Nirmala said without feeling guilty.
Not likely. There must be something he's hiding. Inner Jeff.
Nirmala then continued her steps until arriving at the stop. Jeff was still chasing him. He then parked his bike next to the stop and stood beside Nirmala. Jeff still forced her to apologize.
Suddenly the waiting bus came, everyone at the stop got into the bus except Nirmala. Nirmala can't come in because Jeff won't let her. He held Nirmala's hand tightly and Nirmala felt hard to take it off.
"Let's apologize." Jeff still continued to force him and began to stare at Nirmala while continuing to hold her hand.
His face began to close to Nirmala's face, making the girl rewind her head. Nirmala begins to understand the situation, smiling and trying to be friendly to Jeff rather than something she doesn't want. Finally Jeff let go of his hand.
Nirmala was still smiling but her eyes glanced at a taxi parked not far from the stop. Jeff still does not realize that Nirmala intends to run away from him. And sure enough, as soon as Jeff let his guard down, Nirmala ran to the taxi that was parked and asked him to hurry up and get out of there. Nirmala got into the taxi and opened the windshield and waved to Jeff still with a mocking smile.
Jeff looks so upset.
"Don't apologize, see what I'm gonna do." His mind while then riding a motorbike, wearing a helmet and starting it.
Nirmala soon reached her home and after changing her clothes, she went to a regular garden. In the park not far from his home, Nirmala again enjoyed his seclusion.
This time he was not sitting on his favorite bench, he wanted to feel a different atmosphere then he chose to sit on the grass and look at the horizon, the open blue sky. The leaves of shady trees make him shady and not exposed to direct sunlight. The fresh leaves are seen dancing every time there is a wind blowing and sounding rustling. Making Nirmala enjoy her new location.
"It's so safe to taste." Inner Nirmala closed her eyes.
The breeze that blows breeze cools his body a little rage because of the actions of Jeff earlier who forced him to run. Also because the first taxi he rode forced him to walk. Nirmala smiled as she recalled Jeff's visibly irritated face forcing her to apologize but she didn't want to.
Jeff's request had made him surprised and felt bad.
"Alright, Jeff I'll apologize for Anah." Inner Nirmala with a smile.
Anna was his best friend since childhood. Although sometimes troublesome and often make it difficult but Nirmala is unlikely to hurt the feelings of her best friend. Before Jeff moved to school, his relationship with Anah was never a problem. But love blinds the eyes of his heart, after Jeff is present in his life, he changes and prefers to pursue his love rather than maintain friendship.
About the meeting at the restaurant, Jeff did not need to know that actually the one who planned the meeting was Anah, not himself. Inner Nirmala while continuing to close her eyes, enjoyed the gentle breeze.
"Hi, you're taking my favorite spot!"
The sound of the scream shocked Nirmala and forced her to open her closed eyes, Nirmala squinted her eyes at the glare of the sunlight that was peeping through the leaves. Nirmala watched the figure standing firmly before her.
"Tyrs?" Nirmala said when she found out about the figure.
Nirmala did not expect to meet Tirta at that place, indeed Nirmala usually sat on a park bench at another location. But this time he wanted to relax in the grass. He did not know that the grass was Tirta's favorite place. The genius kid in his usual school is close to Bharata. But now he seems to be coming alone.
"You mean, this place is your favorite place?" Nirmala turned to the right and to the left in the grass.
This place is indeed the best position in this small park because it is in the shade of two large trees on the right and left sides.
"I've been to this place a lot since I was in SD, right at the location where you were sitting. And now you're taking her from me." Tirta said firmly still while standing and holding the guitar.
His face was expressionless and he looked like a stranger who was a new acquaintance. Because usually Tirta is sweet and not stiff like that.
"Sorry, I didn't know this was your favorite place. I found it by accident and your choice was right. This place is so comfortable." Nirmala.
Nirmala got up and shifted from her seat. He apologized and wanted to leave. But Tirta stopped him.
"What are you doing here? And why are you here?" ask Tirta.
"I want to relax. What are you doing here yourself?" Nirmala asked back.
"This is my place from the beginning." Answer Tirta.
"I think it's a public place, anyone can occupy it. But fine, if you want this place, I'll go." Nirmala.
"I told you not to go." Said Tirta again.
It seemed like Tirta's mood was in a mess, it wasn't usual for him to behave like this. Inner Nirmala.
Then Nirmala decided to sit down again, Tirta sitting next to her while playing the guitar. The gentle breeze in the music made Nirmala involuntarily fall asleep in that place. I don't know how long he's been asleep. When he woke up, Nirmala was surprised that Tirta was standing in front of him.
"A ... What are you doing?" ask Nirmala worriedly.
"I'm thinking of waking you up. Do you know what time it is? almost 6 o'clock. You want to sleep here till night? Until the wild beasts approach you?" Answer Tirta at length.
"You're kidding, right? How could there be a beast here?" Nirmala.
"As far as you are." Tirta Sahut.
Then he took his foot away from Nirmala. Nirmala immediately stood up and grabbed her bag after Tirta.
"Tirta .. wait for me!"
The air started to feel cold and made Nirmala shiver a little. He was also afraid of being in his own garden by night.
"Thank you for waiting for me." Nirmala said after she managed to line up and walk beside Tirta.
Tirta just smiled, they walked together but did not talk to each other. Tirta took a leisurely step carrying his guitar with one right hand only and put his left hand into his pants pocket. His attitude was really cold, unlike the Tirta he knew. But even so, he drove Nirmala home to the gate of his house.
