Wheel Trace
Traces of Courage

Maya and Rizky's wheelprints continue to move forward, but this time they face an unexpected conflict. In this chapter, Maya faces a challenging situation when she is bullied by an unknown schoolgirl who claims to like Rizky.

One morning at school, Maya walks down the corridor with Rizky towards their class. Their wheel tracks were clearly visible as they crossed the student crowd. Suddenly, an unknown schoolgirl blocked them with a sinister look on her face.

"So this is it, Maya? The owner of the famous wheel tracks" said the student in a mocking tone.

Maya stared in confusion. "Sorry, who are you?"

"That's it, there's no need to pretend. I know everything about you two. I know that you like Rizky," said the student sharply.

Rizky steps forward, protecting Maya with courage. "Sorry, but Maya and I are close friends. Our wheelprints are about friendship and support, not about romantic relationships."

The student laughed cynically. "Oh, don't pretend to be stupid. I know that you'd fall in love with me if you weren't shackled by Maya's wheel tracks."

Maya felt her heart cut. The wheel tracks, which had been carrying inspiration and strength, were now used as a weapon to hurt him. He felt cornered, not knowing how to deal with this situation.

Rizky looked at Maya with concern. "Don't listen to her words, Maya. He was just trying to cause conflict. Our wheelprints are about building, not ruining our relationships."

But the wounds in Maya's heart did not heal easily. He felt bad, doubting himself. The wheel tracks that had been carrying miracles, now felt a heavy burden for him.

However, Rizky would not let the wheel tracks just crumble. He is determined to protect their friendship and confront this conflict with courage.

That night, Rizky contacts Maya via a video call. Their wheel tracks are connected through their mobile phone screen.

"Maya, I want you to know that our friendship will not be swayed by the words of others. Our wheelprints are about courage and strength. Don't let this conflict get in our way" Rizky said firmly.

Maya looked at Rizky expectantly. "But Rizky, those words hurt my heart. I feel insecure and inappropriate."

Rizky clasped her phone tightly. "Maya, our wheel trail is a trail of friendship that has gone through so much together. I believe in our strength, in our ability to face this conflict together. We will overcome all this and prove that our wheel trail is about love, support, and courage."

Hearing Rizky's words, Maya felt the power within her begin to rise. Their wheel tracks are tracks full of struggle and victory. No one can ruin their friendship, no one can steal their courage.

They promise to stay strong and united in their wheel tracks. No matter what they face, they will keep trust in each other and protect the wheel tracks they have built with love and dedication.

Maya walks alone in the school corridor, her heart still feeling fragile after yesterday's conflict. The wheel tracks, which were usually full of excitement and cheer, now felt heavy and full of doubt. He tried to stay strong, but the wound from yesterday's bully was still deep.

Suddenly, she saw the same schoolgirl from yesterday approaching her with a sinister smile on her face. Maya's wheelprints halted for a moment as tension re-filled the surrounding air.

"So, do you still hope Rizky will like you, Maya? He will never choose you. She's better than that" said the student sharply.

Maya tries to hold back the tears that want to fall. The ever-enthusiastic wheel track now felt like a burden he could not bear alone. He felt weak and hurt.

But, this time Maya will not allow herself to be destroyed just like that. He pondered for a moment and resolutely faced the student. "I know who I am and what I value in myself. This wheel trail is about courage and strength, and I won't let you or anyone tear it down."

The student was surprised by Maya's tough attitude. He had not expected that Maya would dare to face him so decisively. Maya's wheelprints exuded unexpected courage.

As Maya tries to leave, the schoolgirl tries to prevent her by forcibly pulling Maya's shoulder. Maya's trail stops for a moment, but this time Maya won't let herself be pressed.

"Let me go" Maya said in a trembling voice, but remained full of decisiveness.

Suddenly, a familiar voice to Maya sounded behind them. "May, is everything okay?"

Maya turned her head around and saw Rizky standing there with a worried look. Rizky's wheel tracks carry the strength and support she so desperately needs.

The schoolgirl released her grip on Maya and walked away with an unhappy face. Maya's wheelprints return to motion, this time with Rizky by her side.

Rizky approached Maya attentively. "Maya, what's going on?"

Maya looked at Rizky with a face that still felt fragile. "I'm being bullied, Rizky. These wheel tracks feel heavy, but I'm trying to stay strong."

Rizky clasped Maya's hand with tenderness. "Maya, don't let their words tear you down. Our wheelprints are a trail of courage and strength. We'll face this together."

Maya feels the support and courage that comes from Rizky's wheel tracks. The trail gave him the strength to fight back and not give up on the bully. He knew that their friendship was an unshakable source of strength.

"Thank you, Rizky. Our wheelprints gave me the courage to face all of this" Maya said gratefully.

Rizky smiled gently. "We're going through this together, Maya. Our wheelprints are about courage and support, and we will prove that our friendship is unwavering."

They walked together, their wheel tracks advancing with a burning spirit. Although the conflict still lies before them, Maya and Rizky are determined to stay firm and keep their courageous footprints.

Rizky sits in her room, thinking about yesterday's incident between Maya and the mysterious schoolgirl. Their wheel tracks have led them through various conflicts, and this time is no exception. Rizky tries to understand her own feelings, especially after telling the schoolgirl that she and Maya are just friends.

However, as Rizky pondered, she realized there was a deeper feeling she felt towards Maya. Maya's wheelprints take her through unforgettable moments, and their friendship becomes more than just a casual relationship.

Rizky clasped the trace of Maya's wheel next to her, feeling the warmth that enveloped her heart. The wheel trail was a trace of courage and strength, but also a trace of an unexpressed feeling.

He asked himself, "Do I just want to keep this friendship or is there actually a deeper feeling in this wheel trail?"

Rizky thought about all the moments they spent together, the unlimited support they gave each other. Their wheel tracks intertwined so beautifully, creating an unshakable bond.

She recalled Maya's ever-bright smile and the excited look in her beautiful eyes. Maya's wheelprints bring light to her life, making her feel complete and happy.

Rizky sighed deeply, realizing her pent-up desire. Maya's wheelprints have shown her how important Maya is in her life. She longs for Maya's presence, not only as a friend, but also as someone more than that.

Although Rizky tells the mysterious schoolgirls that she just wants to keep their friendship, her heart is actually hoping for another chance in their wheel tracks. He wanted to make room for the feelings that were growing in his heart.

However, Rizky was also aware that these feelings should be handled with care. Their wheelbase is about trust, support, and great friendship. He did not want to sacrifice their friendship just to fulfill his own wish.
