"What are you doing in my room?" Raisa asked with a glare when she found Yuda standing in front of her room.

"Brother!" Raisa knocked on Fairuz's room which was located not far from his room.

"Brother Fairuz left an hour ago. You were really in the room for a long time. How come you haven't changed your clothes?"

"Why-you know why getting into da— ''

Yuda covered Raisa's mouth, took her into the bathroom then locked her from the outside while telling Raisa to immediately take a shower and change clothes because they were going out for a walk.

"Don't be late!" shouted Yuda then sat on his bed Raisa waiting for the girl to wash herself while grumbling in there.

"You came out for a moment I can't change my clothes!" Raisa shouted from inside after fifteen minutes had passed, meaning that she had finished her ritual of bathing.

"Just come out, I'm not going to be peeking at you, seriously." Raisa growled in annoyance, opened the bathroom door by poking her head out.

"You want me to call 911, huh? Come out, I'm going to change!" Yuda chuckled with Raisa's scolding. He stood towards the cupboard, sorting out clothes for Raisa to wear without the girl's consent.

"Hurry up and change! Your room smells good so I feel at home here." Raisa took it roughly then immediately locked the maroon door again.

Yuda chuckled, laying down on top of the big size while looking at the green ceiling of Raisa's room. His eyes were fixed on the small frame above the nightstand.

"Eh, what are you doing! Don't touch it!" Raisa grabbed it quickly before Yuda managed to reach it.

"Already finished?" Raisa shrugged her shoulders, put back the frame that had been reversed earlier.

"Let's get out!" Yuda got up when Raisa looked at him fiercely in the doorway.

"Enthusiastic too, yes you want to take a walk with me," Yuda ruffled Raisa's hair, "you are beautiful," he continued in response to the girl's glare.

"Girls are beautiful everywhere, you don't need to be in my mode, I don't work with old-school rags," Raisa said, going down the stairs, quickly leaving the house.

"Now you just go!" Raisa kicked out and pushed Yuda's body away from her house, she was about to go back into the house to watch the action movie that was downloaded last night that had not been watched.

"Eh, what do we want to do at home, are we not afraid to be alone?" Yuda intercepted Raisa's hand.

"There's an aunt in case you forget."

"Ah, yes. Auntie guard the house, yes, we will be out for a while!" Yuda shouted and then pulled Raisa's hand to his motorcycle, ignoring Raisa's rebellion.

"Brother Fairuz has already let us out so you don't have to think about complaining about this. Use it!" Yuda handed over a pink helmet, "sorry, tomorrow I'll buy a green one." Raisa still folded her arms across her chest, turning her face in random directions.

"Use it or I'll kiss it, Raisa!"

The morning weather was still hot before noon, but it was as if Raisa heard the thunder of thunder piercing her ears. Raisa irritatedly took the helmet, hit Yuda's arm who was grimacing in pain..

"Oow!"

"Uh, you okay, right?" Raisa asked in panic when she heard Yuda complaining. Raisa checks Yuda's arm which turns out to be still bruised.

"Sorry, I don't know," he said in a panic feeling guilty, he blew repeatedly on reflex.

Yuda watched it with puffed lips.

"It's not sick, right?" Raisa asked looking up, Yuda immediately showed a face in pain.

"Resect you ah!" Raisa snapped realizing Yuda's play.

"Okay, sorry, don't be angry, honey. Let's put on the helmet!"

Yuda helps Raisa put on the helmet. Even though he was half forced, Raisa also got on the motorbike because he knew this man was very stubborn and would do something unreasonable if he still rebelled.

"Where are you going?" Raisa asked when Yuda was already running his motorbike.

"Whatever, do you want to go somewhere?"

Yuda glanced at him in the rearview mirror. Raisa seemed to think for a moment before mentioning their destination address.

The traffic in Jakarta on Sundays is indeed heavy, but not for a racer named Yuda who has his own way of getting out of traffic jams. Raisa kept grumbling about the high speed driven by Yuda. Still with his scolding, Raisa got off the motorbike before Yuda parked Vixion.

"Bela!" Even Raisa knocked on the door of the cream house half loudly carried away with emotion at the chuckling man standing beside her now.

"Wait, your hair is messy." Yuda brushed Raisa's front hair with his fingers. "Alright, now it's pretty again." Instead of blushing, Raisa stepped on Yuda's feet and then knocked back on the door calling the owner of the house, who heard the footsteps getting closer and closer.

"Ah, why did it take so long to open," Raisa chirped when Bela opened the door. Without being invited to enter, Raisa was already walking into Bela's house who looked at him in surprise then turned to Yuda to tell him to come in too.

"Are you home alone?" Raisa asked who was already sitting on the sofa.

Bela didn't answer, looked at him flatly, making Raisa pat her forehead lightly when she realized something that they were still angry, to be precise Bela who didn't want to talk to her.

"Previously, I'm sorry I didn't ask your permission to bring him here," he said to his feet because of the unfriendly glow in Bela's eyes.

Yuda realized something was wrong between them. Earlier he had asked what their purpose was to Bela's house but Raisa didn't tell him other than to meet Bela alone.

"I just want to apologize, Bel. Why don't you pick up the phone and don't text me. Well, the most important thing is you didn't go to school earlier." Raisa walked over to Bela who was standing near the decorative cupboard.

"Can you wait outside?" Raisa said to Yuda who was about to answer but was immediately taken over by Bela who told her to just sit on the sofa.

"Bel, look at me Bela!" Raisa gripped her shoulders lightly so as not to make Bela feel pain.

"If you think I have something wrong with Joey then you are wrong. And if you choose to hate me as your best friend just because your ex is you, you are wrong. I don't like seeing Bela I know change just because of a boy. I just came here. I want to explain everything to you. I don't have anything to do with Joey. Do you want to believe it or not, but that's the truth. You know that I am the most anti-love drama like this. So, this is the last time I will explain this to you. I have nothing with Joey.

" Raisa sighed after saying long words. "You want to forgive me?" Raisa continued after releasing the grip on Bela's shoulder.

Bela did not answer, turning her face away at Yuda, who chose to keep quiet watching the two girls.

"Okay, you're silent means you don't want to give me an answer." Raisa returned to exhaling softly. "Then I'll leave it. Come on Yuda!" the lid glanced at Yuda on the sofa.

"Wait!" intercepted Bela when Raisa was about to leave. "I already forgive you but I don't want to just believe it. Gu-e need proof."

"Proof?"

"I'm the proof," interrupted Yuda walking towards them. "I'm Raisa's boyfriend, not that bastard Joey. That's enough to make you believe. Right, honey, I'm your boyfriend?"

Yuda turned to Raisa holding the girl's hand.

"Is that true, Rais?"

Raisa had difficulty swallowing her saliva while Yuda smiled sweetly while winking.

"No," he replied, stuttering Yuda's hand away from him.

"Uh, Raisa, you just took it, it's still pretending. Congratulations, you're not that good anymore. Uahah, I'm really happy, Raisa!" Bela hugged her tightly, pinching her cheeks, which were not too chubby.

"Lo Yu-da, right?"

Yuda nodded, shaking hands with Bela.

"Bela! Who's that in front of the motorbike ?!" The three of them turned their head to the shrill sound that came in hastily.

Two girls look surprised with their mouths open and their eyes bulging.

"Why, how come you're here Raisa. You are also Yuda."

"Iis, don't you be ashamed," said Bela, pulling Arifah and Kinta away from doing anything ridiculous because the two girls were ready with their cellphones pointing the camera at Yuda, who was predictably going to be inviting boom likes on their IG as they often do they do when they find cogan at school and in malls and parks.

"They are already together, it's not wrong that they are going out together," explained Bela in response to Arifah and Kinta's curiosity.

"So that's serious Raisa?" Raisa shook her head quickly but Arifah hugged her tightly and said congratulations to her.

"Wow, the current Raisaku isn't the old Raisa." Kinta hummed and hugged Raisa while teasing her.

"Pj, pj yes Rais. Pj Yu," said Kinta happily at Yuda who chuckled at the girls' behavior.

"Don't listen, Yu. ''

"It's okay. You guys get ready we go out," said Yuda reaching into his cell phone, "my friend will be here soon."

"Eh, where are we going? Whose friend are you?"

"Yey, thanks Yuda. Bell, let's get ready, I didn't have to make up earlier. Kinta came to my house early in the morning. You just make me anxious not going to school. Come on to your room!" Raisa's questions were buried with excitement by Arifah who dragged Bela to the second floor as if this was her own house. Kinta did the same, leaving Raisa with Yuda in the living room.

"Yu, what are you doing. That makes them misunderstand." Raisa showed an annoyed face, sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Misunderstood what, dear. You really are my boyfriend," Yuda replied with an evil smile.

"Lo that—" "Raisa's words were interrupted when the sound of the bell rang. Yuda walked towards the main door to welcome his friends to be invited in.

Soon Bela and her two friends came down and were surprised to find Ridho, Rio and Alif already sitting on the sofa between Raisa with annoyed faces.

"Eh, are you ready, Miss Arifah?" said Alif who could not help feeling happy when he saw Arifah with her sweet appearance.

"What's this?" Raisa got up from her seat.

"Yeah, you don't have to be sulky, Raisa. This is called luck being able to hang out with Cogan. Right, Bel?"

Bela nodded, couldn't help but laugh at the sullen Raisa.

"Who am I with, Yu? Arifah already has Alif. I'm not Ridho's level, am I, Dho?" said Kinta self-consciously because of her short body, while the criteria for Ridho's ex-girlfriend was a beautiful girl who was at least as tall as Ridho's while her body only reached Ridho's shoulder.

"I don't know Rio yet, just look at him, he is just ignorant, I might be mistaken for a walk with a doll," he continued turning his head to Rio, who had a cold face.

"Rio isn't like that, how come it's just being cool," Alif said poking Rio.

"Rio, you don't have to be pretentious, you don't want to," Yuda said, "you're already with Rio, he asked for your number," he continued.

Rio giggled at Yuda. Rio is usually a bit stiff with girls but he will be very romantic to a girl who can attract his heart. So far he has only dated three times, has not contracted the Yuda gene which cannot be counted the names of the PHP-insed girls.

Bela chose to remain silent, glancing at Ridho who was busy with his cellphone.

'You don't even want to look at me, Dho.'

"Uh, why don't you just shut up, Dho? You just go with Bela, okay," Alif said, taking Ridho's cellphone.

"Come back!" snapped Ridho making Alif immediately hand back the cellphone.

"I can't just go, you guys," said Bela at last.

"If there is a problem, it is resolved, it is not agreed upon, it makes it complicated," said Raisa, making all the attention directed at her because she was confused by the sentence she threw.

"You are a boy, Dho, do you solve the problem properly, not be angry like a child," said Raisa, clearly realizing that there was an emotional fire between Ridho and Bela.

Raisa has learned quite a lot about body language, since earlier she was reading the movements between the two. Added to this is his observations when he saw Bela who always avoided when he met Ridho. Although she never asked him, she was suspicious and waited for her own time to explain.

"Your girl has become a psychologist, Yu. Be careful, you can read your thoughts too," Ridho said sarcastically as he got up and grabbed Bela's hand.

"Let's go!" Bela let her hand be pulled towards the black motorbike that was last parallel to the other big motorbikes.

"Can you really read people's thoughts?" whispered Yuda while putting on Raisa's helmet.

"Yes, and your mind is full of innocence. Come on, hurry up before I change my mind," Raisa replied fiercely.

"Yes, please hug me, I'm not a motorcycle taxi, you know. They just stick with it, that's our official era -"

"Hurry up and bring Yuda, or I'll come down!"

"Yeah-yeah, I just don't want you to fall. Now that's new." Yuda forcibly pulled Raisa's two hands to wrap around his waist.
