“Have you gone?” Lia muttered to herself when she didn't hear fighting anymore. After Salsa's words, both became silent. Even when Lia looked to check if they were around, she couldn't find them all. With a frown and a sigh, Lia finally focused on her work. “You!” shouted someone from behind him. The sound that was so surprising made Lia jump. “You've been eavesdropping on my conversation, right?”Lia now raised her head to meet the gaze of a woman, none other than Marsha. The wrinkles on his forehead showed that he didn't like it, coupled with a sharp look that didn't bother Lia at all. For a few moments, the two women were silent without saying anything before finally a snort came out of Lia. Obviously, this made Marsha confused and even more annoyed. Just seeing Lia's face made him annoyed again. “If so, why? After all, why are you looking for trouble in a public place? So, I have to cut my ears, so I can't hear what you're talking about?” challenged Lia who had now risen from he
“Don't you have class today?” Arjuna's deep voice echoed in the room. You can see the man sitting in front of the computer with his right hand rubbing his forehead, while his left hand is tapping on the table. It was obvious from his actions that he had lost his mind. How could Lia come to her room at will like this? Even though he knew that this must be related to Aini, it still made him feel irritated and tired at the same time. Hearing Arjuna's words, Lia just looked away, refusing to look at Arjuna and focusing on the things she saw every day. Arjuna gasped when he saw Lia's attitude like this. Just by looking at it, he could already tell that something he didn't like was going on. Because of that, Arjuna took a deep breath before getting up from his seat, heading to the place where Lia was sitting. Now the two of them sat across from each other and Lia could see Arjuna's face and expression. The man's face that looked so serious made Lia amazed for a while. "Don't want to tell
Lia had a little trouble controlling her expression when she came home. He took a deep breath, not knowing what to do when he was at the door. The feeling of knowing this truth made his chest feel tight. Aini will be harmed? How is he going to harm her? Just imagining the various ways in her head made Lia's body shiver. Another sigh came out when suddenly the door opened wide. There you can see Aini holding a plastic trash. Clearly contains a variety of groceries. Because she still didn't buy enough ingredients for cooking, Lia was forced to buy Aini food. That's why Lia actually felt a little guilty. When the two stared at each other, a surprised expression appeared before a smile started to form on each lip. Just by exchanging glances, Lia already understood that Aini was asking her to go out together. That's why now they are both carrying a plastic garbage bag. “How is today?” Aini asked Lia. “A little tired, but well, what can I do? At least the report is finished. You yourself
“Lia, why is your fridge empty?” Aini, who was checking her friend's fridge, frowned, feeling confused about why there was nothing in it at all. Even though he usually fills the fridge so Aini can cook for the both of them. “Ah, sorry. I've been busy lately, when I buy ingredients, it's just me who eats. It's useless if you cook a lot.” Hearing that, Aini seemed to think for a few moments before nodding in agreement. “That's true, really. I'm sorry I moved suddenly.”“Hey,” Lia called in a tone that instantly turned a little scary. “Who is it that blames you? I don't mind at all if you have to move. Again, moving this time isn't what you want, is it?”Understanding the situation, Aini decided to chuckle a little while scratching her nape awkwardly. He simply did not have the courage to dodge or give other reasons to Lia, choosing to accept his fate now. The two of them were silent for a few moments, apparently thinking about what to eat for the night. Of course, each of them has a d
“Don't want to tell the truth to Aini?” Lia's firm voice surprised Salsa. Now the two of them are sitting together in the campus canteen, while Aini has her last class before she will return to do her internship. A small smile appeared on Sasha's lips. "Shouldn't I just be quiet? So, I can see Aini from afar while looking after her.” The wrinkles on Lia's forehead immediately appeared, while she also stopped typing something on her laptop. “At the very least, you should be able to tell him something. I'm certain, instead of me being able to hold grudges, Aini will forgive you, no matter what you do wrong.”"Isn't that the problem right there? Aini can never be angry with me or hold a grudge against me. But, if something like that happens and at the same time Leo and Marsha hear about it, I'm just afraid that Aini will be even more in danger.”The conversation between the two that had started so quietly was now tense. After they found out that Leo wasn't playing games and could even
“Want to eat together?” Aini's suggestion made Salsa and Lia's eyes widen. They both didn't expect that Aini would be so quick to ask them to make up. Again, both of them remembered Arjuna's words, so they exchanged glances, feeling a little worried for Aini. “Uhm, tonight seems too impromptu,” said Salsa, who played with her finger doubtfully. She hoped and prayed in his heart that Aini would believe the lies he was telling now. Lia who also felt panic, nodded her head continuously. “Yeah, didn't you promise me you'd eat out with me? If we're with Salsa now, there won't be enough space, I already booked in advance.” A soft sigh came out of Salsa when she heard Lia's words. “I'm certain that Salsa also wants to go out with us. But, if you do it now, don't do it first, okay?”"Then tomorrow! Tomorrow we can have dinner at Lia's house, right?” Aini now has a pitiful expression, like she really hopes for her two best friends, asking them for a definite answer. Feeling uneasy, Lia final
When Salsa woke up early in the morning, she was confused about where she was. However, after a while, he finally realized where he was, at Lia's house. While her two best friends were still asleep, Salsa finally decided to wake up first. He paid attention to his surroundings and cleaned up all the clutter in silence. At the same time, he heard his cell phone ring indicating a new message. A frown appeared on his forehead, he timidly looked at his cell phone before seeing the name written on it, Marsha. Did that woman already know that she was telling the truth to Aini? Or maybe Leo already knows too? Imagining that possibility gave Salsa a chill. He tried very hard to ignore the feeling of fear that was growing inside of him and then reading the message that was sent, he had to confirm its contents. Her eyes widened as she read its contents. He glanced alternately at Lia and Aini before taking a deep breath. It felt like he had no other choice. Therefore, with a smile that showed t
Arjuna, who was resting himself, was surprised when he heard his cell phone that kept ringing. Unlike when someone called her, this time it felt more like someone trying to text too many at a crucial moment. Because of that, Arjuna immediately checked his cellphone and saw that all the messages were from Salsa. His eyes widened in panic when he saw Lia's name mentioned and combined with danger. Arjuna, who was originally tried now regained consciousness of the existing situation. Glancing at the watch on his wrist, Arjuna could see that by now Lia should have come before he went to his apprenticeship. For that reason, he immediately left the room and tried to contact Lia, but did not get any reply from her. The panic inside Arjuna increased when he saw many students entering the campus area. How could he find Lia from so many children? “Lia, why didn't you pick up the phone?” Even when he was trying to find Aini, he remembered that the woman had returned to her apprentice today befo
