Rachel felt empty.
It's been three days since he left the hospital, since then he hasn't seen Ravin.
There was no word from the last moment the man drove her to Amel's apartment.
In fact, these two days he had not seen Ravin at all on campus.
The man seemed lost somewhere.
Rachel was still sitting in her classroom, she was holding a cell phone in her hand.
Since his last course ended, he thought he wanted to contact Ravin.
But, when he was ready to press the phone button on Ravin's contact, he paused his intention again.
His heart was still worried, was he worth contacting Ravin after the rejection he had made of the man?
He's not sure either.
"Udahlah ." said Rachel.
He just gave up.
Not so contact Ravin, he knew enough after what he did.
Put the phone back in the tote bag and get ready to leave the class.
When she just got out of her class, Rachel accidentally crossed paths with Jojo and Nara who were passing by.
"Hi Rachel .. "greet Jojo as they face each other.
"Yes, hi" Rachel replied.
"How are you? I haven't seen you in a long time, Chel" said Jojo.
"Gue's good" replied Rachel.
"Wanna go back to Chel?" ask Jojo.
"Yes, my class is gone" replied Rachel.
Both eyes scoured the surrounding area, looking for someone he had been thinking about.
But instead of finding the figure of Ravin, Rachel's eyes instead met with Nara's sharp gaze on her.
"Ehem .. ahem .. nyariin who the hell is Chel?" jojo asked in a soft tone.
Rachel turned her eyes to Jojo.
"Eh .. don't know anyone" Rachel denied.
"You know Ravin, he doesn't exist" said Jojo.
"Where?"
"He's out of town again, it's Om Ken's business" Jojo replied.
Rachel nodded her head.
"Well, she didn't call you Elo?" ask Jojo.
"No" Rachel replied as she tried to smile.
Considering Ravin didn't call her made Rachel smell.
"Oh . maybe he's busy" said Jojo.
Rachel displays her forced smile.
"Come ah Jo" said Nara who had been silent.
Nara's face from earlier looks very lazy to cross paths with Rachel.
Especially when Jojo invites him to chat.
"Oh yes come Nar ." replied Jojo.
Jojo looked at Nara and Rachel in turn.
Can Jojo see the two of them look at each other not like each other.
"Intense competition" inward Jojo.
"Eh Chel we want to go to the cafe deket campus, what if you come?" jojo's bargain that made Nara swerve sharply at Jojo.
"No, thanks" replied Rachel.
Seeing the face of Nara who was not friendly to him since earlier had made Rachel reluctant.
Moreover, he was also not too close to Joshua, especially to be able to eat together.
Seeing Nara's increasingly upset face made Jojo increasingly aggressively invite Rachel to come along.
"Come on Chel, I'd like to buy Nara lunch again.
Come on come on, I've tried it too.
Don't be the same Ravin continues" said Joshua.
"Other times Jo" Rachel refused.
"Udah the hell Jo did also forced if people do not want to" sambar Nara ketus.
Seeing the agony of the two women even more makes the soul of ignorant Jojo more excited.
"Seru nih if Ravin saw, which yes would Ravin choose between friends and love" Jojo's mind giggled.
Jojo, who deliberately invited Rachel to lunch with him, was not daunted even though the woman had refused.
Because of the continued coercion from Jojo also made Rachel finally agree and join the meal with them.
Displeasure is more clearly visible on Nara's face as they walk to the cafeteria.
********
At a cafe not far from their campus, Rachel, Nara and Jojo have lunch together.
The atmosphere on their table looked very quiet and a little tense.
There was no chatter from the lips of the two women other than to answer what Jojo asked.
Actually Jojo also felt uncomfortable about this situation.
But, he did deliberately do this not just to get a reaction from Ravin but also so that Nara and Rachel could be a little close because both of them were very close to each other.
Jojo, who already knows that Ravin likes Rachel, wants Nara to accept Rachel in their neighborhood.
Especially if Ravin will actually be in a serious relationship with Rachel.
No
maybe the two girls who were important to Ravin would be spaced apart like this.
Because it will be difficult for Ravin in the future.
And what he did now was because of Ravin's request that Jojo bring the two closer together.
"Chel elo want to add especially not? Order it, do not bother" said Jojo.
Rachel shook her head while sipping the rest of her juice.
"Not Jo, I'm full" replied Rachel.
"You Nar, why didn't you eat it in Abisin?
Want another message?" ask Jojo.
Nara is just as shaken.
"No, Jo, I'm not lustful" replied Nara.
Her eyes glanced at Rachel as if saying that her appetite had disappeared because of Rachel.
"Well, would you like a dessert?" tawar Jojo on Nara.
"No need Jo" refused Nara again.
"Elo Chel, want a dessert? Let me order it" Jojo asked Rachel.
"Don't Jo, that's enough" Rachel replied.
But, because he values good Joshua he tries to be kind too.
He also finds himself in trouble with the girl.
Jojo who had finished his meal felt uneasy on his stomach.
She tells Rachel and Nara to go to the bathroom.
And left the two women alone.
********
A few minutes after Jojo went to the toilet only silence existed between Rachel and Nara.
Rachel tries to turn her attention to her phone, though she is distracted at Nara's gaze which continues to stare at her.
"Is there anything you want to talk about?" rachel asked because she didn't like Nara to keep looking at her.
Nara closed her arms, putting her folds on the table.
"I saw you getting closer to Ravin" said Nara.
His tone of voice still sounded calm.
"If so, why?" ask Rachel.
"It's okay, but Mama Rara said you've also played to their house several times"
Nara's tone of voice this time had already sounded clearly dislike.
"It's just a few times" Rachel replied.
"But is it any business elo if I ever play to Ravin's house?" ask her.
"Obviously" Nara answered looking irritated.
Ever since he heard from Raisa that Rachel had visited Ravin's house several times, the girl's feelings became irritated and increasingly disliked Rachel.
During this time there was not a single girl other than herself who was close and familiar with all the Ravin family for a dozen years.
"What?" ask Rachel.
"I was a friend of little Ravin.
And I was the first woman and the only one that Ravin always brought to his house.
As long as I knew Ravin, he never took a single woman to his house even though it was his ex-girlfriend" Nara said.
Rachel squinted her forehead.
"Then?" ask Rachel.
"I don't know what you mean and what your purpose is to get close to Ravin.
Do you have a bad goal with Ravin and his family?
Do you want to play Ravin like most of the men you've been dating?" said Nara.
Rachel clenched both her hands under the table, she squeezed her tote bag to try to hold back the anger over Nara's careless speech.
"On what basis do you have the right to judge my attitude as Ravin?"
"Of course I deserve to be a friend of Ravin, on the basis of your image all this time is enough for me to judge your attitude.
I have the right to protect Ravin from women like you"
Rachel was really furious, as much as she could restrain her anger.
Never did Rachel imagine that the woman before her who was famous for her gentleness could talk badly like this.
"Friend? The image? Protecting?" rachel smiled cynically.
"It turns out that smart and dignified women who are rich can also be shortsighted as well" said Rachel cynically.
"What did you say?"
"Elo is short-minded! Am I wrong?"
"So, yes, your words are Rachel" said Nara angrily.
"Aren't I the one who should have said that?" rachel's words made Nara's forehead wrinkle deeply.
"Without knowing and knowing anything elo judged I had the same bad intentions as Ravin.
Elo branded me as having bad intentions and took advantage of Ravin and his family.
Nope,
should I be the one who's angry about what you said?" said Rachel furious.
"I said bergitu kare.."
"Because of the words of the people you hear out there?" cut Rachel to make Nara shut up.
Rachel leaned her body in front of Nara's desk.
"Kanara, I don't know all the bad accusations you make for me are based purely on your worries as a friend
or
jealousy as a woman.
What is clear is that whatever is elo has no right to judge anything about me" said Rachel full of emphasis to make Nara unable to answer.
Is he being petty because of jealousy?
And take his name with friendship?
Inner Nara continued to struggle because of Rachel's last words.
Rachel got up from her seat after saying it all.
He took the money out of his wallet and put it on the table to pay for his food.
He will not be able to resist emotions if he has to stay there.
But, uh,
when Rachel was about to leave she coincided with Jojo's new arrival.
"Where is Chel elo going?" ask Jojo.
"Gue has to go back first Jo. Sorry"
"Oh okay, but this is how you pay for all the money?
I told you I wanted to be educated"
"Nothing.
Maxih before, but let me pay for it myself.
I can't accept the kindness of others anymore and be stamped on using others" said Rachel sarcas.
Jojo frowned at Rachel's words.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing.
I'll go first Jo" said Rachel
Not answering Jojo's confusion, Rachel actually left there.
Jojo stared confusedly at Rachel, then turned to look strangely at the silent Nara.
"Surely something happened earlier" said Jojo.
Jojo regretted leaving the two women alone.
