"Kei, where are you?" Violet screamed as soon as I picked up the phone call from her.Well, it's Sunday; can't she just let me settle down without her blaring screeches?"At home," I said lazily."You don't want to meet Kenan? Now he's heading to the airport; we passed each other at the mini market near campus," Violet said quickly.I took a deep breath, hung up the phone, ordered a taxi online, and rushed out of the house. I still can't believe this—he gave up on our relationship. He accepted that we should break up. What a pain!"Where are you going?" shouted Selena, catching up with me."Meeting Kenan," I said quickly.Selena nodded in understanding and stopped following me. I ran out of the gate, waited for a moment in front of the gate, and got into the taxi that had just arrived."To the airport," I said quickly.I leaned my back on the passenger seat, staring far out the window with a sad heart. I can't believe that Kenan could do this to me.Soon we arrived at the airport. I r
I ran happily to someone busy playing a game on his cell phone. He sat in the campus park, listening to music and playing games.I'm not sure if he still wants to see me, considering I've been ignoring his calls and messages for the past week."What are you doing?" I asked while sitting beside him.Adipati pulled down the earphones hanging from his ears and looked at me from head to toe.Finally, you came out of the cave too," he sneered.OK, I know he deserves to be upset. I'll take it."It will take time to throw it all away! It's not easy, you know!" I exclaimed as I shifted closer to him."So, you've thrown everything away? Your feelings for him?" He looked at me deeply.I didn't say anything and just nodded quickly.I'm not lying; I did throw it all away. There's nothing left. I really want to live a new life.Kenan has made a decision, and I have to respect it. I also have to continue my life properly without him.It is not like that."Do you remember the bet you previously offe
"Selena? What's wrong?" I approached Selena, who was sitting pensively in a rocking chair by the pool.She didn't usually daydream like that. Of course, this worries me; did something bad happen?"I'm fine," she said with a small smile.No, I know she's lying. Nothing means something is going on."The twins are okay, right?" I sat next to her, staring at her fixedly."Kei... Has your dad ever lied to you?" I asked Selena with a face that I couldn't decipher.Did Dad lie to me? Wait! Did he lie to Selena?"Dad never lies. At least to me. Did he lie to you? Was he cheating on you?" My scream immediately made Selena shake her head quickly."No! He's not cheating! Don't talk nonsense!" Selena exclaimed frantically."So, what?"Hearing my question, Selena just shook her head weakly. She seemed to be thinking. I don't know what made her so doubtful."I was idly opening the messages on your dad's cellphone, and I found a very surprising conversation," Selena said slowly."What? Dad is in deb
"If you want to end it, do it properly; I will help you catch the culprit. However, I don't like it when someone disturbs or terrorizes my girlfriend," Adipati said while playing with my fingers, which were in his hands."You really want to do it? This concerns Kenan as well; I'm sure you don't like even hearing his name mentioned!" I said this while leaning my head on his shoulder."I really don't like it, but what can I do? I have to help you get out of this problem so you never come back to him!"I smiled slightly at the man's words. But maybe what he said is true. If this matter is over, I won't have any problems regarding Kenan.I took a deep breath. The view from the campus rooftop is the best. I can see every corner of this place."You see someone in a yellow dress under the banyan tree over there?" Adipati pointed to a banyan tree in the corner of the campus.I followed his gaze, sharpened my vision, and frowned in confusion."Who is this crazy girl who wears clothes like that
"Take off your bra and enjoy the party! Violet whispered and then winked mischievously at me.Violet and Vano then went to greet some of Vano's friends, while Adipati and I just sat pretty on the edge of the pool enjoying lemon juice and some snacks."I thought you didn't like a party like this," said Adipati, then smiled strangely.I just showed my wide grin with an innocent look."I love parties; they're too busy having fun to take care of anyone else! Being invisible is such fun! I laughed after saying that.He just shook his head weakly."You must have always been the center of attention before," said Adipati with a sad look."Always! Not a day goes by without getting stares from the people around me. It's so annoying!""Don't worry; from now on, if anyone looks at you with an unpleasant look, I will make sure to teach them a lesson! He exclaimed with a serious face."No, don't! They have eyes; they have the right to see whoever they want to see," I said quickly, making the man's
"Are you okay?"My eyes widened, my heart was beating fast, and my mouth was tightly clenched to hold back all the curse that was already on the tip of my tongue.I really didn't expect his presence at this time. Why did he come and show his worry?Remind me to curse Vano when we meet. I'm sure he told Kenan that we met Marko yesterday."As you can see!" I answered quickly."Sorry, I should have jailed him longer so he can't see you again," Kenan said with a worried look."Forget it, yesterday's incident has nothing to do with you, so don't think about it too much!"Hearing my answer, Kenan let out a heavy sigh, his eagle eyes fixed on me."I'll send several people to watch over him, so don't worry," Kenan said with a look that I didn't understand.What? Is he kidding me?"Don't do that! Kenan, when I said our relationship was over, I meant what I said! Everything really is over, so don't you dare think about me, worry about me, let alone pay attention to me! Whatever happens to me, i
"You have a dozen of the same T-shirts?" I turned to look at Adipati who was moving the table to the corner of the room."Why? Is that wrong?" He asked without looking at me."Nothing wrong, it's just weird. Why buy so many of the same clothes?"Adipati stopped his activities. He then turned to look at me with his arms folded across his chest."Because I like it, so I can often use it," he said quietly.I shook my head weakly and closed the wardrobe with a neat arrangement of clothes because I had just tidied it up."People might think you didn't wash your clothes, or they might think you're some poor person who doesn't have a change of clothes!" I exclaimed while sitting on the edge of his bed.I immediately came to Adipati's apartment to help him pack up after my class was over. He had so much stuff to carry, and I'm sure he was tired of doing it all alone."Who cares about what they think? I wear clothes that I like and make me comfortable!" he exclaimed casually.Okay. Whatever.A
I know something bad is going on, though I'm not sure what it is. Violet almost broke into my room, and when the door opened, she hugged me and sobbed softly.Her body felt very cold, this idiot wasn't wearing a jacket even though it was drizzling now."Can you tell me what happened? Why have you been crying all this time? Don't confuse me!” I shouted as I pushed Violet's body away from me."You haven't unlocked your phone yet?" Violet looked at me confused.My phone? Ah, I forgot, that thing is still dead because I stayed up all night watching Korean dramas."What happened? Why are you crying?” I asked again, looking at her more gently.What bad thing happened to make her like this?“You've suffered enough so far, don't let this get you hurt again. You've led a good life now. I'm sure Adipati or Kenan will find the culprit and teach him a lesson,"I just stood with a straight face. Trying to guess what Violet was really talking about? Adipati and Kenan? If they are involved, then the
The heat of the city of Jakarta immediately greeted me as soon as I left the airport. I waved at one of the taxis, and immediately got into the taxi while the driver put my luggage in the trunk.It's been more than five months since I left Jakarta to volunteer in one of the remote towns in Kalimantan. A month after the birth of the twins, a very big disaster occurred in Kalimantan. I decided to join an organization from my campus to volunteer there. Because the conditions were so bad, I decided to stay there longer than the other volunteers.I asked the driver to take me to a cafe that I used to frequent with Violet.After arriving there, I sent a message to Violet to meet me at that place.“Kei!” Violet shouted from the entrance, making all the customers there immediately turn to look at the girl. It seems like she's still as noisy as before.Violet ran to hug me tightly.“Oh My God! Are you wearing make-up?" shrieked the girl in disbelief.Oh, yes! While I was in Kalimantan, I liked
Violet and I immediately stood up and looked around when the group of police entered the campus area. Some of them entered the Chancellor's room, and some immediately spread out and arrested several people."What happened?" Violet screamed while hiding behind my back."They came to arrest drug users and dealers," said Vano, who had just come to us with Kenan."Does this have anything to do with Adipati's case?" I asked while looking closely at Kenan.The man just nodded slowly. I breathed a sigh of relief hearing that."Unfortunately, the perpetrator of the murder is still at large, the police are hunting him in Bali, because they fled there." Kenan looked at me with a sad look.I smiled in response to his words.“Sooner or later they will be found. I am sure of it. After all, the drug suspects had been caught, Adipati's struggle was not in vain. Now just wait for them to be found!” I said casually.Kenan smiled faintly, then nodded slowly. Kenan's cell phone rang, the man immediately
"Wisnu?" I shouted, surprised to see who was coming towards us.I turned to Kenan who also looked confused.Wisnu sat down and drank the coffee that we previously ordered for the informant who contacted Kenan."You shopped for necessities for your sister?" Wisnu asked with a smile.I nod quickly."She's seven months pregnant so we bought some things," I said even though I was still confused."Someone keeps following me, so it's safer to meet in a public place like this, as if meeting a friend and having a casual chat," said Wisnu casually.I nodded slowly.“Why don't you message me with your own number? Or if you are being followed, you can say it in a message," Kenan said.Wisnu smiled so widely."I don't know, I'm afraid if my number is tapped or something, it's just my worry. Technology is so scary these days.” Wisnu said, trying to look relaxed.I nod quickly. I don't care what the reason is. I only need the information that Wisnu will convey.“Recently on campus, drugs are spread
"Mafia members who are related to the Marko family," Kenan said slowly.I stared into Kenan's eyes sharply. He said it so confidently.“They did it? So, Marko's family is behind this murder? Why does it have to be Adipati? Why don't they just target me? I mean, Marko is in prison because of me, not because of Adipati. Why are they doing this?”Kenan just shook his head weakly in response to my words."I will investigate, I will bring the culprit before you," Kenan said while stroking my cheek gently."You promise?" I insisted.Kenan nodded slowly without the slightest hesitation.“I doubt if they killed him to get revenge for Marko's capture. I'm sure there are other things that make them target Adipati,” Kenan said slowly.I shook my head slowly. I don't remember if Adipati ever had anything to do with them.“Is there anything I can help you with? How are you going to investigate this?” I urged Kenan.The man just shook his head slowly, he looked at me deeply."Calm down, we have to
I'm still here, I'm still with you, when dusk greets me, I feel your presence. You are a source of warmth, comfort, happiness. Why don't you take me with you? You went and left all these memories with me.It's too fast, I'm not ready, I'm not willing to let you go.What shall I do without you, Adipati?What should I do?"Kei..."Violet's gentle voice greeted my eardrums. The girl came to me and sat beside me. I don't want to see her, the whiny me will cry again if I look at my best friend's face.Violet just accompanied me in silence in front of Adipati's grave."It's almost evening, don't you want to go home?" Violet asked quietly.I looked up at the sky which was starting to get dark, the cold wind continued to blow at us."Can't I just stay here? Adipati will be lonely here," I answered quietly."No, he will be angry and sad if he finds out you spent time in a dark and scary place like this," said Violet.Correct. If he saw me, he would definitely be furious.“Your dad and Selena a
Vano slept curled up on the sofa while Kenan played games on the bed. Violet cleared her throat, making Kenan and Vano open their eyes wide.“Kei?" Kenan shouted as he approached me. He pulled the IV tube closer to me who was still standing in the doorway.“Your face is very pale, are you okay?” I asked slowly.Kenan smiled faintly, then nodded slowly. Violet helped me to sit on the sofa. She then woke up the sleeping Vano and invited him to go to give me space to talk to Kenan.Kenan sat beside me, looked at me from head to toe, and breathed a sigh of relief."It's not your fault, so don't blame yourself," I said matter-of-factly.Kenan immediately averted his eyes, not daring to meet my eyes. He looked nervous. Kenan, who is always full of confidence, suddenly gets nervous when he's with me. That's how much guilt he has.I took Kenan's hand, and then held it gently, making him immediately turn and look at me deeply."This is not your fault. It's just a road I have to walk, we pass.
Marko was still looking at me sharply, occasionally he gripped both sides of my cheeks with one hand.I don't know what was in that man's mind. He could have done whatever he wanted quickly, why was he stalling for time? What does he really want?"What if we do this? I will release you on several conditions!” Marko suddenly shouted."What conditions?""First, you withdraw your report at the police station, second, give Kenan to me!" Marko exclaimed quickly."What?" I screamed in disbelief.“You know, he's not just anyone, I had a hard time injuring him! I've already sent several people to kill him, but it seems like he has nine spare lives. Very hard to kill!”I gaped at Marko's story. Did he ever try to kill Kenan? Why didn't Kenan tell me anything? Oh, I forgot. Kenan never told me anything.“Help me trap Kenan, haven't you two broken up? It should be easy for you to do! Just like you saved Violet by falling into my trap, save yourself by bringing Kenan to me!”My tears just flowed.
"Is this necessary?" asked Selena seeing the presence of a bodyguard among us."Only until this case is over," I said quickly.Selena glanced at Dad, and Dad just nodded slowly."How about you? You might also be in danger, rather than me, you should be guarded by bodyguards!” Selena snapped."Don't worry, I have a handsome bodyguard who will always take care of me!" I wink at Selena mischievously, making her smile knowingly."I'm sorry that I didn't take good care of you, you got into all kinds of trouble like this." Dad came closer to me and looked at me with deep eyes."No, it's not because of you, it's my fault because I used to hide everything from you. If I had just told you everything in the past, things wouldn't have gotten this bad!” I said quickly.Dad hugged me very gently. I don't know when was the last time he hugged me like this, what I know for sure, is it's been a very long time.“I will make sure to punish those naughty kids!” cried Dad with great emphasis.I didn't sa
The sound of the phone ringing kept disturbing my sleep. Hearing Violet's screams from the cell phone made me very annoyed. If I didn't remember that my cell phone is quite expensive, I wouldn't hesitate to slam the thing on the floor right now.And seriously, why does Violet always use her voice as the ringer on my cell phone? Crazy!I straightened my body, stretched my tense muscles, and took a deep breath of air.Good morning world, today… Please don't be so mean to me.I pulled out my cell phone and picked up a call from Violet.“Please, don't fiddle with my phone anymore! Your voice penetrates my dreams, you know that?” I exclaimed annoyed.A low chuckle could be heard from the other side.“My voice is quite melodious, right? By the way, why didn't you go to class today?"Wait! What did she just say? Didn't go to class? I turned to the side, staring blankly at the digital clock lying on my table.Damn it, the clock shows that I woke up not in the morning but during the day."And
