Arfen looked at his right palm, "I think three punches is enough." His monologue with a gaze still fixed on one hand. Then the palm slowly clenched firmly.
Yes, trying to give up Dira for Axell has indeed been a decision that Arfen chose. And the heartache of releasing Dira will certainly enjoy itself later.
But, that doesn't mean Arfen will just shut up after this. Arfen is willing and sincere. But being willing and sincere is not enough to make his mood better. Arfen needs an impingement. And of course with the person who deals with this pain.
Arfen grabbed the phone from the pocket of his uniform. Swiping that magical flat object with the tip of his thumb. He turned around and unintentionally his eyes fell on someone who was walking closer to him. One eyebrow Arfen raised realized that the male uniform was the same as the one Dira was wearing.
Nope. He's not Verrel, not Bastian or Axell. But someone Arfen didn't know was definitely one school with all of them.
For a split second the views of the two meet. Until finally the two's view was cut off because the young man walked past him without reprimanding each other and immediately entered the elevator. Relax Arfen turned around to look back at the man's face. And his gaze met again as the two looked at each other. Then it was again interrupted because the elevator door was closed along with Arfen who put his phone in the ear.
"Yes, I'm still here."
...***...
"Xell -"
The call from Verrel who had not fully called was cut off by Bastian. "Hurry up, Xell. Where you going?" Ask in a seductive tone.
Axell who was just about to wear the helmet turned his head. "home." Answer's short.
Bastian patted Verrel on the shoulder, "Home he said, Rail!" He said in a sneering tone.
"Diem Lo!" Tegur Verrel on Babas, then looked back at Axell. "... Where to?" Ask Verrel to make sure
"'No, Xell... Verrel, where are you going?" Bastian chuckled after finishing his question.
The Babas base, likes his behavior sometimes.
Axell glanced at Bastian with his side eye. Although at a glance, but Axell can see clearly the face of Bastian's annoying now. "Basic kepo!"
"Diihi! So, yeah, ngab!" Cibir Bastian again. Axell sighed, he caught a strange thing from Bastian. Even though actually, Bastian sometimes likes to be weird.
"What's wrong?" Ask Axell to the points. There must be another meaning to the attitude of these two friends.
"Verrel asked me to take Lo home, Ngab. Said he didn't have the heart to see Lo montoran himself." Answer Bastian's origin.
"Ck." Verrel clucked at Babas's unqualified speech. "... I want to play at Lo's house. So where am I going to go home?" Ask Verrel who is now making his point.
"You eat, he said, Xell. Nih, the poor are starving!!" Bastian made another sound while pointing towards Verrel.
"God! Not just any Lambe Lo, yeah!" Verrel suddenly turned ferociously on hearing Bastian's words. While the Babas even directly stamped Verrel's lips with his thumb and index finger to keep Verrel quiet.
Axell was silent for a moment. Yes, some time ago he did have cats with Verrel before his status with Dira was revealed. But now, he no longer has to cover it up because all his friends already know. It's just that here Dira does not even know that his status with Axell is already known by Verrel and Nayla.
"To the house." Answer's short.
"Well, to the house he said, Rail." Bastian slapped Verrel on the shoulder.
"It can't be done!" Verrel's jittery start with Bastian.
"Okay, I'm diem." Bastian replied with a sudden look that changed like a persecuted victim. While Axell only pulled one eyebrow to see the behavior of his two friends. Axell realized there was something that the two were covering up, just what it was Axell did not know.
"I mean gini, Xell. Try to call Dira first, ask her position! Yes ... He was again on the road. Nayla said she wanted to make sure of the road." Verrel said carefully because it must be a lie and so as not to arouse suspicion. Verrel and Bastian already know where Dira is. Verrel and Bastian deliberately do this so that Axell does not quickly go home and end up failing their plan.
Not immediately answering, Axell suddenly hesitated. Dira always asked him for permission before leaving and it seemed that his wife did not say anything.
Axell grabbed his phone. He'll try to call someone and that's definitely not Dira. Just to make sure if Dira is right at home or not?
"Where's my wife?" One question that went straight to the core when Axell's call got a response across there.
"Where did my wife say, Rel?" Bastian chuckled softly after mimicking Axell's style of speech earlier, of course with a whispering tone so that Axell did not hear his words.
Not answering, not responding, Verrel instead deliberately stomped on Bastian's feet without the slightest guilt. Intentionally emang.
"Shuww!" Bastian shouted suddenly. "... Don't just stomp, mas'eh!" He then pushed Verrel's head. "... My legs hurt, Sat!"
Verrel immediately embraced Bastian and silenced his best friend's mouth with his hands firmly. "Could it not, ha?! You can't, I asked?" Ask who came back. Intentionally so that Bastian can be a little calmer and not return to provoke his emotions.
Bastian forcefully pulled out Verrel's hand that covered his mouth. "Disease, Rail! Lo's hands stink e'ek!" Bastian was gonna vomit afterwards.
...***...
Dira who just finished cleaning himself came out of the bathroom complete with a casual suit attached to his body. Then sit in front of the dressing table to dry her wet hair.
After making sure her hair was half dry, Dira stopped her activities. He lay down on the bed to rest his body that was a little tired.
Just about to close his eyes, Dira suddenly remembered with Arfen's speech earlier. Where Arfen who said the rejection of his accusations where Arfen who triggered the rift between Axell and the former first. Just as he had expected before.
"Really what I thought all along? The problem between Axell and Arfen is just a misunderstanding. Basically a girl who is nervous! There is no way Arfen likes a girl model kayak that ... Poisonous caterpillar." Dira becomes emotional when she remembers meeting Renata at school that day. Then the girl came to him to apologize.
"But, why did he suddenly apologize that day?" Dira's head shook. He no longer wanted to think about Renata.
Dira then sighed, it was late afternoon and her husband should have gone home, right?
Dira then sat down, then grabbed the phone he put on the nightstand. The clock is at 16.35.
"Big!" Dira patted his own jidat because he realized one thing. "... I forgot to tell Axell if I'm in the apartment!"
Dira then rubbed his screen and tried to contact Axell. But just now he was going to call Axell, suddenly there was a message first entered on his phone.
Ting!
📥Kk Bastian's.
Dir, please help me!
Iw in apartment basement Lo.
Dira immediately frowned, thinking about what really happened with his upperclassman.
📥KK Bastian's.
Scrap, Dir!!!
Again, one message came back from the same number. Deftly Dira typed a reply message for Bastian.
^^^📤Dira Gra^^^
^^^Gue down now, brother.^^^
Send Bastian ⁇ ️
A direct message tick two that indicates Bastian has read the reply. Dira then moved and stepped out of the apartment to meet Bastian.
Just as Dira exits the Axell apartment unit, Dira sees Adit who is also coming out of one of the rooms located right next to the Axell unit. The guy was wearing only a black oversize t-shirt and khaki knee-length chinos.
"Adith?" Call Dira who is now walking closer. "... Lo -" Dira's view leads to where Adit emerged earlier. "... Stay here too?" Ask.
Adit looked over, "Yes. Why?" Relax Adit replied.
Dira shook his head, "Since when? How did I never see you enter this building?"
'Since I've been Lo's husband!' Adit answered in his heart.
"Udah from a few months ago. I entered Class 11 to be precise. Why?"
Deg.
Dira's eyes rounded hearing the reply from his classmate. If they are neighbors, maybe Adit never saw him enter the room together with Axell?
"Dir, Lo okay, right?" One question that managed to awaken Dira from his mind.
"Gapapa. Yaudah, I'm first, yeah, Dit!" Said Dira who walked straight to the elevator.
...***...
Bugh!
"Sister Axell!!!"
