Way Back Into Love
Tasteless

In Faizi's car.

The silence enveloped the atmosphere. Only the wind was heard. No one had the initiative to start the conversation. Faizi turned on the music to break the silence.

The song, "way back into love" was all over the car. No doubt Fina who heard the song also turned to face Faizi.

"You like this song, brother?" Tanya Fina was curious.

"I like the melody, do you like it?" replied Izi while occasionally glancing towards Fina.

"Like it so much, even though it's an old song I never get to listen to it. The lyrics of each stanza are very good, sister" Fina's story was so enthusiastic.

Izi who heard Fina's story also smiled happily. Seeing that smile Izi felt comfort near Fina even though she had only known him. It was as if Fina had come as the guardian angel of her heart. With Fina, he felt like he had forgotten the wounds he had gotten first. Faizi even thought it would be better if he made Fina a couple. However, whatever power Fina already has Aiden. Being close to Fina like this alone had made her happy and comfortable, and she was grateful for that. I want to take Fina from Aiden. The ugly thoughts that appeared in his brain were immediately dismissed. He is not a man who will snatch a partner from his best friend.

"Hey brother, why are you daydreaming?" Fina asked suddenly who broke her daydream.

"You're all there, who's daydreaming?"

"Of course you're sister" exclaimed Fina so confidently.

"Don't you, can you sing that song?" Tanya Izi tried to divert the conversation.

"Of course, we sing together, brother. You're part man I part woman." Obviously Fina told Izi.

Faizi nodded his head. And they started singing together in the car. It's like free karaoke in the car. They enjoy it so much.

**i’ve been living with a shadow overhead,

I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,

I’ve been lonely for so long,

trapped in the past,

I just can’t seem to move on!

I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,

just in case I ever need ’em again someday,

I’ve been setting aside time,

to clear a little space in the corners of my mind!

all I wanna do is find a way back into love,

I can’t make it through without a way back into love,

and if I open my heart to you,

I’m hopping you’ll show me what to do,

and if you help me to start again,

you know that I’ll be there for you in the end**!

At Fina's house

After a while, Faizi's car arrived in front of Fina's house.

"Thank you, brother, you've brought me." Fina said to Faizi.

"Yes are both fins" Faizi replied with a smile.

"Aren't you going to stop by, brother?"

"Maybe next time, today I have basketball practice with my team"

"Ah okay. if so be careful brother. And the passion for his basketball practice" Fina said cheered.

"Okay ready"

Fina finally got out of the car. After that, Faizi's car walked away from Fina's house. Fina started to enter her house.

"You're home yet?" Ask a woman to Fina.

"Hemm, as you can see Ara". Reply to Fina as she passed sitting in the living room.

"Why don't I hear the sound of your car" Ara asked back while bringing a cold drink to Fina.

"My car broke down Ara, I went home in Kak Izi's anther". Answer Fina.

"Sir izi? Who her? You never told her? Is she your boyfriend? Since when" asked Ara so enthusiastically.

"There are many questions"

"Not to divert, just answer everything" Ara exclaimed as she looked at Fina so sharply.

"He's my senior brother at college, sister Aiden, and he's not my girlfriend, okay." Clearly Fina was brief.

"Is he handsome?"

"Yes handsome"

"Wahhhhhh is amazing. Why don't you go on a date with him hem"

"I think dating is easy. Handsome is no guarantee my dear Tiara. If my heart doesn't beat for him it means I don't have the right to like him"

"Yes I know Fina, but if you start opening your heart with her. Who knows over time your heart will beat because of it hm" said Ara with a style of speech like a consultant.

"Come why are you an expert in love? You're single yourself?"

"Even though I haven't had any love experience at least I can still give you advice hem."

"You are there." exclaimed Fina so casually without regard to the expression uttered by her little friend.

"You should listen to my advice Fina".

"Yes, thank you for my advice, my dear tiara"

"haih forced to do that, eh what is fin?" Ara asked as she looked at the large box beside Fina's chair.

"Oh that, the chocolate Aiden gave you if you want".

"What's? Chocolate boy? In a box this big?". Ara asked Fina as she passed towards the big box. To prove Fina's words.

"Omo. He's robbing or what?" Ara muttered so shocked when she saw the contents of the box.

"She looted Ara's chocolate shop" Fina led on her best friend.

"Crazy is Brother Aiden. So who will spend this?"

"Of course I'm hem" Fina replied with her pedal.

"This much?" asked Ara with an unconvincing view, because the amount of chocolate in the big box was not only 1 or two but hundreds. And it was very unlikely if it would only be spent by a Fina.

"Of course, you can eat it too?"

"Hey I thought you were going to spend it. I'm going to take some of it later fin's okay?

"Please Ara, I want to go upstairs to take a shower and keep taking a break. I'm asking you to clean my chocolate with the food stain Ara." Fina's words to Ara.

"Yes yes, I understand" Ara replied.

"Thank you sweet Miss Tiara" Fina said as she kissed Ara's cheek and passed away to her room. Ara just shook her head to see the behavior of her good friend.

In the field of basketball, some people are warming up. Aiden, Andrea and some friends warm up before basketball practice starts.

Moments later from the entrance of a man who was none other than Faizi started to get into the line to warm up as well.

"Yes I know. I'm sorry." Faizi replied casually.

"You're tumben late, you have a lover huh?" Aiden's investigation into his friend.

"No. of course not. After I drove Fina I came straight here. The streets are so crowded and jammed maybe because now the hours to go home from work are also hm" Faizi replied honestly.

"Fina? Why'd you drive him?" Ask Aiden curiously

"Ah yes I forgot to tell you Aiden, I just drove him because I was sorry he brought a big box of chocolate that you gave. I can't bear to let him take a taxi.

"Usually Fina takes a car, why take a taxi? Ask Aiden again.

"His car broke down this morning, luckily it was me so we left together".

"Why didn't he tell me if his car broke down" Aiden muttered.

Faizi only heard it without any intention of answering.

"We? You like Fina?" Andrea asked Faizi suddenly.

Hearing Andrea's question, Faizi and Aiden raised their faces. Aiden even turned his gaze on Faizi. He was waiting for the answer from his best friend. Faizi who was stared sharply by Andrea and Aiden was a little shocked and sculpted.

"Where I might like him, he's Aiden's girlfriend. I just feel sorry. Really" Faizi said giving a definite answer.

Although honestly there was a little strange feeling stuck in his heart when saying that sentence.

Hearing Faizi's reply, Andrea and Aiden looked at each other, and they showed a small smile, even holding back a little laugh.

"Thank you for taking good care of my Fina Izi." Said Aiden while patting Faizi on the shoulder and Faizi just nodded his ass.

They warm up again before the exercise begins.

"I'm guessing, our plan went well with Aiden". Andrea's whisper to Aiden.

"Of course, he's really stupid" Aiden replied.

Basketball practice began to run and now Aiden shot the ball into the ring. Not only that Faizi even jumped and shot so smoothly the ball entered. They train as if they are playing a match.

Flashbacks

In a room that is quite spacious with a blend of white and gray. There were 3 guys talking.

"So, did you break up with her?" Said a man standing leaning against a window that was none other than Andrea

"He cheated on her and chose another man". Said another man sitting on a chair.

"I was a fool, just found out." Said the man softly.

"Come on, bro, you're handsome. You can get another woman besides her" Andrea said soothingly.

"Andrea's right Izi, you have to forget about it". Aiden said.

"I'm not sure, but I'll try". Faizi pasrah.

Faizi still feels pain because the woman he dated for 2 years betrayed him and chose another man. His mind was not so clear as to accept the situation. Only a little chat with his best friend is able to treat it, although not entirely the state of being good.

"Here you go, forget about your broken heart. Next week the celebration of our majors, what do we want? Time wants to be like last year. Boring" said Andrea trying to divert the conversation.

"You're right Andrea, I hope this year is more spectacular" Aiden replied in agreement.

"It has to be, I have an idea. How about a dance party. Looks fun, doesn't it?" Andrea's suggestion gave her idea.

"That's good, I agree. What about you Izi?" aiden agreed to the idea that Andrea suggested

"I'll follow you" said Izi at last.

"All agree, and to you Aiden. I need you to bring a couple. Compulsory for you". Andrea gave orders to Aiden.

"Huh .. Why just me?" Ask Aiden

"Because you're the only one who's rarely seen carrying a partner." Izi said.

"All right, I understand. Yes I will bring a couple hm" said Aiden finally agreed with a little resorted.

Hearing Aiden's words also made Andrea laugh satisfied, because basically Aiden is very difficult to be close to women. Andrea posed that challenge. Faizi who saw her was slightly amused.

"Ohh I forgot, you should accompany me to somewhere aiden." Andrea said suddenly to Aiden as she looked at the watch clock she was using.

"Where?" Ask Aiden curiously

" To the gym. I want to sign up for membership?" Andrea said.

"We'll talk later on the road, now let's go. Izi you rest. We will return when our business is done. Okay." okay." Andrea said as she pulled Aiden's hand to leave Faizi's room. Aiden only complies. Seeing the behavior of his two best friends Faizi just let it pass.

############

"Why stop here, did you say you were going to the gym?" Aiden asked his best friend plainly.

Because they are currently in front of a cafe not in the gym center as Andrea talked about a few minutes ago.

"That's just my excuse". Andrea answered honestly.

"meaning?" Aiden asked back because he did not understand Andrea's words.

"I just reasoned, honestly I can't bear to see my cousin like that Aiden, you have to help me". Andrea story while sipping a new coffee in the purchase.

"Help how?"

"Didn't you have a cousin?" Andrea asked and got a nod from Aiden.

"Well, you brought her to the school's birthday party as a couple. Let's see if Faizi is interested or not. If he's interested then we'll set him up. How's it?"

"Why should my cousin, another girl is a lot".

"Because I feel like Izi fits your cousin"

"Hmmm I will try, hopefully he will attend the party" . Aiden finally agreed. Andrea smiles when she learns Aiden has agreed to her plan.

"Tiara.. I went to the minimarket yes" Fina's permission on Ara.

"Do you want to be with me?" said Ara while walking down the stairs.

"No, I'm just for a minute. You take care of the house okay"

"Ah okay, I'll drop a snack on fin"

"Yes, I'll buy it later. Take good care of the house." Fina said and passed away.

Fina also enjoyed her night trip on foot while listening to music from the earphones she put in both ears. Fina has also arrived in front of the minimarket. He immediately took a small basket and turned to choose the snacks he would buy. When Fina was busy choosing snack snacks she suddenly hit someone. Fina was not so careful because she was too busy choosing snacks displayed on the display so that she did not look ahead well when walking.

"Ahh pardon me" said Fina while bending over because she had hit the person.

"It's okay, lady" said the man. Hearing the answer of the person Fina also raised her face. And when he saw the person he hit was Fina and the person was both shocked.

"Sister?" "Fina?" Say them together.
