“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
“Eh? I had absolutely no idea something like that happened. Terrible, huh,” said Marsha who chuckled, her tone as if she were insulting the man sitting in front of her, none other than Leo. Obviously, hearing Marsha's words and tone made Leo displeased. He frowned while his lips pursed. “Stop acting like that, I'm disgusted to see it,” commented Leo, who folded his arms in front of his chest. Seeing that the man was already distracted, Marsha chuckled again before running his hand through her hair, as if she was tidying it up. “Then, why do you know you want to meet me?”“That Salsa guy… seems like he can't be trusted anymore.” It's still feeling irritated and angry, Leo only raised one eyebrow, too lazy to speak. “He and Aini, it seems like they're getting better, with one of his best friends again, Lia, huh? But… I don't think Lia will be able to be with Aini for long.”“What are you doing again?”At first, Leo just sat lazily, leaning on the couch where he was sitting now. However
“Have you brought everything?” Dave's voice that was so soft entered Aini's ears. He who was packing his things was surprised. When she looked up and saw Dave, Aini nodded her head. “Then that's good. Oh… s-one more….”Aini raised an eyebrow to ask, but Dave still didn't say anything. "Is there any problem? What is it? Did I make a mistake?”“No, no, that's not it!” Dave exclaimed quickly, he shook his head and moved his hand as a sign that there was no issue at all. He let out a short sigh, rubbed his face and looked at Ain seriously. “I am with that now… you live with Lia temporarily? Is your relationship with Hendramo okay? Is there any problem?” Aini blinked her eyes when she heard that, she had absolutely no idea where Dave knew. “Yes, he himself ordered and ordered me to stay there. Actually, I don't know why he said that, but… if that's what he wants, then I'll do what he wants.”Dave, of course, knew what was going on. Arjuna has also explained the issue, he even told about t
Since what Leo said, Aini couldn't calm down at all. Even when he was about to leave for his apprenticeship, he felt that if someone would pay attention to his movements, they would later report this to Leo. Imagining such a terrible thing happening to her, Aini was obviously becoming increasingly silent. The feeling of confusion ate Lia alive, no matter how hard she tried to make Aini speak, her best friend chose to keep her mouth shut. How could Lia now not worry more about him? “Calm down, Ai. It's all only in your mind,” said Aini, who tried to hypnotize herself, saying that there was nothing to worry about. Indeed, it is easier said than done. Still, Aini looked around with fear of seeing someone she didn't want. “Isn't he the one?” The deep voice surprised Aini. He was walking until he stopped in his tracks. Taking a deep breath, Aini ventured to look around. Thought that he would meet someone. However, his expectations were wrong. "Yes, that's right! That person! Yesterday,
“Aini, can you explain to me everything that you didn't tell me?” When she arrived at the intended dining area, Lia felt that this was the right time for her to dig deeper into what Aini wanted to say. Moreover, when someone is trying to stalk him. “That…,” started Aini hesitantly. He glanced in another direction, trying not to meet Lia's eyes because he was afraid. His gaze was now full of fire, like he was about to get angry and explode at any moment. Of course, that made Aini hesitate to tell Lia. "Why? You don't need to be afraid, I'm not going to do anything, I just want to know what the problem is. If he's really gone too far, I'm sure we can negotiate with him, and I'll also help you find a solution, okay?”Aini finally nodded her head, she also bit her lower lip, trying to calm herself down. “At first, Leo accidentally saw me with Dave while at the office. He helped me to carry things, but that didn't seem to make Leo happy at all.”Now the wrinkles on Lia's forehead looked
During lunch, Aini received a call from Lia who said that that day she would not be able to come to pick her up, her work suddenly piled up. Because of that, he apologized to Aini continuously, saying that Aini should not go out with other people. Initially, Lia also offered to order Arjuna to take Aini home, remembering that Arjuna had the right as a supervising lecturer. However, not wanting to bother other people, Aini ended up rejecting the offer. Because of her refusal, now Aini can only look out when the clock is almost showing time to go home. He was debating with himself whether he should go to Lia or not. Actually, Aini herself realized something that her best friend was not at all calm when she left the house. There must be something he is trying to hide from Aini to the point of lying about many things. Knowing that thinking about it would not help her, Aini chose to start tidying up her things. “Are you going home already?” Dave's distinctive voice startled Aini, he jump
