Village Girl With a Million Dreams
Chapter 25 (Sandra and Jofan)

A few days have passed, but the awkwardness between Jofan and Sandra is still not over. They were still indifferent to each other, Sandra even apologized first. He was determined that if Jofan did not apologize, Sandra would sacrifice her friendship.

When the break arrived, Jofan and Sandra who would usually join Ayu and Melani to the cafeteria chose to leave.

Jofan reasoned there was a need with the basketball kids and Sandra reasoned there was a need in the library. The two friends were curious about what happened.

“Something weird isn't Yu?” Melani folded her hands together, glaring as if she was thinking hard.

“Jofan and Sandra?”. Ayu had already guessed the direction of Melani's conversation.

“ Yes? Am I the only one who feels weird?”. Melani pulls Ayu's hand to sit on one of the empty canteen chairs.

“It looks like they are in a cold war Mel”. Ayu was also curious because she did not know at all.

“We must find out Yu, if this continues our friendship can be a circle of oranges Yu”. Melani starts the drama with her feelings.

“ How to? Sandra won't tell us if we force her. There must be a desire of his own for the story. Tell me how Sandra Mel” is. Ayu and Melani try to find the reason for her two friends who are in trouble.

“Oh yes Yu, what are your wet books? Have you been returned from Jofan?”. Melani is curious, because after Melani all the books Ayu brought Jofan.

“ Already replaced a new one by Jofan Mel, he copied all my writing”. Melani glared towards Ayu.

“I know why the two of them fought Yu”. Melani whispered in Ayu's ear. Ayu who heard Melani's words was shocked and spontaneously closed her mouth with both hands.

“ Am I the source of the problem Mel?”. Ayu's eyes glazed over. Melani hugged Ayu. There is regret in Melani for making Ayu sad.

“ Not so, this is just a misunderstanding”. Melani rubs Ayu's shoulder to keep her best friend calm.

“Now we have to talk to them Yu”. Melani pulls Ayu's hand to return to class looking for her two best friends.

While in front of the class, they saw Sandra sitting with her head on the table. His eyes were closed and his ears were attached to earphones.

Ayu held Sandra's hand. Sandra's eyes instantly opened as she felt a touch in her hand. Sandra looked at Ayu who was crouching before her in shock.

Sandra just opened the earphones that were still attached to her ears and squatted to align herself with Ayu.

“ Why?”. Sandra was curious to see the look on Ayu's face that looked sad.

“ Did I make Sandra and Mas Jofan stay away from each other?”. Ayu's eyes were still fixedly looking at Sandra.

Sandra smiled because Ayu had nothing to do with her problem. But Sandra wanted to prank Ayu this time.

“ You feel guilty? Would you be willing if I asked you to stay away from Jofan?”. Sandra sharpened her gaze.

“ San...we are...”. Melani could not continue her words.

“DO NOT MEDDLE”. Sandra pushed Melani with her index finger.

“ I'll stay away from him. I'm so happy to have friends like you, I didn't ask for more”. Ayu again grabbed Sandra's hand. “ Melani, Sandra and Mas Jofan will not be replaced”.

“Then if I turned out to like Jofan how? And I don't like it when you and Melani get close to him”. Sandra is still fishing to see Ayu angry, Sandra is curious because her best friend is never all angry at her friends.

“ Don't let go of our friendship San, I love you”. Ayu could not hold back her tears.

Melani could not bear to see Ayu and immediately hugged her. “ We will never separate”. Melani tightened her embrace.

“ I will also never let go of you just for the sake of men who cannot appreciate women's feelings”. The three of them hugged each other.

Jofan who was about to take his HP that was left behind accidentally saw his three best friends. She does not know if Sandra is also avoiding Ayu and Melani.

It seems my mistake was fatal. I need to talk to Sandra. There's something hidden. If he won't talk, I'll threaten him to open his mouth.

Today Mbak Murni has returned from his hometown after taking care of the funeral and salamatan Buyut Ayu. Ayu is happy because the house is crowded again.

“ Yu, Mas Ali did not come home during Mbak in the village?”. The pure brother asked as his hands were busy opening the contents of the refrigerator and sipping cold water to cool his thirst.

“ Gak Mbak, if you go home just take clothes, then Ayu does not know how to go home. And mas Ali kasih Ayu pocket money is usually in love note”. Ayu showed me some memos attached to the refrigerator door.

“ It looks like Mas and Mbak will move Ayu after the class increase yes Yu”. Pure mom bit the apple she had finished washing.

Degs....

“Good Mbak”. I can't resist, I know that Mbak Murni and Mas Ali are not so fancy and are. It must be Buyut Ayu who forced Mbak Murni to choose the best School.

“ Mbak same Mas already can not help from Buyut”. Mbak Murni invites Ayu to sit in the living room sofa.

“ Yes Mbak”. Ayu only agreed to Mbak Murni's words, there was sadness because he would part with his friends. But Ayu can't be selfish. It's all for his own good, too.

After finishing Ayu prefers to stay in her room, still ringing mbak Murni words in her mind.

I will also get another friend. It would be the same school anywhere. There will be nothing different. (Batin Ayu )

Ayu began to enter his subconscious and forget for a moment the problems of his life.

This morning Jofan arrived earlier than usual. He deliberately wanted to see Sandra alone. Her feelings are already very unreasonable because of curiosity about what makes Sandra angry at him.

At first Jofan had no intention of apologizing or finding out. But it turns out his actions left his three best friends injured.

Jofan won't let anyone else include himself. It seems like today Jofan is in luck.

When the class was still very quiet and there was only one Jofan, Sandra suddenly entered. Her knitted eyes made her body twirl and try to avoid meeting Jofan alone.

But this time the pace lost quickly to Jofan. Jofan pulls Sandra's hand forcefully to enter the classroom. Jofan also locked the class that only existed the two of them.

Chequek.......

“Jofan....Lepasins....Jofan...” . Sandra thrashed trying to release Jofan's grip.

“ Sorry San, I didn't mean”. Jofan let go of Sandra's hand.

“ Open the door, later if anyone sees, it will be a Fan” slander. Sandra tries to reach for the key to open the door, but Jofan's hand holds her back.

Sandra also glared at Jofan “ Let go of me or I will assume you never existed as my best friend”. Sandra threatens Jofan, but his heart beats very irregularly because his feelings are currently mixed.

Why did he threaten. I'm the one who threatened him. Cannot be allowed. (Jofan said in his heart).

“Sorry to me”. Jofan touched Sandra's shoulder gently. Jofan's eyes seemed to be able to stir up the situation to make Sandra forget her anger.
