Now Lilian and Nadifa were sitting opposite each other in a cafe. They looked silent and stared at each other. There was water expanding in both of Lilian's eyes to make Nadifa touched.

Slowly Nadifa reached out her hand to wipe away the tears that began to drip on Lilian's face.

" Don't cry Li. Sorry if I stopped beating Lo earlier. If I had been in Lo's position that night, maybe I wouldn't have been able to Li..," Nadifa said in a trembling voice.

" I tried to be strong when I was scared half to death Dif..," said Lilian while rubbing her face.

" I didn't think that Hesti was that bad. And all this time we've only wanted to keep him. Or maybe we are bod*h because we want to be friends with him..," said Nadifa upset.

" The power of the second option is more appropriate Dif..," Lilian said with a smile and it made Nadifa smile.

" Eventually, after a long time I can see Lo's smile again Li..," said Nadifa.

" It's because I was too shocked the same incident that happened to I Dif.." said Lilian.

" Why don't you tell me the same story as I Li...?" ask Nadifa.

" I don't think Lo will believe my story either." said Lilian.

" I believe Li...!" nadifa said firmly.

" Yes I know..," said Lilian quickly.

" We'd better escape Hesti and all about him huh. Now there's just us, Lo and I. So let's both rise up to pursue our dreams. How's Li...?" ask Nadifa.

" Agreed...!" sahut Lilian enthusiastic.

" Good...!" nadifa then hugged Lilian tightly.

For a moment Lilian and Nadifa hugged each other. A moment later the two broke down their hugs while shaking each other's clothes.

" Isa. Ntar if the guys think I'm same-sex enthusiasts are serious," Lilian said while shifting away to make Nadifa upset.

" Lillian!, you mouth never been schooled, huh...?!" nadifa said.

" School dong, so pinter can talk rich like that earlier..," said Lilian relaxed while laughing.

Hearing Lilian's reply made Nadifa laugh. And their laughter was transmitted to the man who was observing the two secretly.

School graduation has arrived. Rex and Gama both graduated with good grades. The two congratulate each other on knowing they graduated with satisfactory grades.

It turns out that the two have been communicating with each other despite living on different islands.

" I'm in the top three this time Rex...!" gama said proudly.

" Great !. If I'm only the fourth of the five best Gam..," said Rex low.

" Wooii..!, it's not wrong to say Lo. The fourth order of the top five was also a monyong feat !. Moreover, Lo schools in Jakarta whose graduation standards are different from the region. You should be grateful for Rex...!" gama said annoyed.

" Yes yes..," Rex said with a laugh.

Realizing his overflowing emotions due to being provoked by Rex's words made Gama laugh.

" Keep Lo's plan after this Gam...?" rex asked after his laughter subsided.

" Lecture.., "gama fast say.

" It's good." said Rex.

" Why good ?. You don't want to go to Rex...?" tanya Gama did not understand.

" Want, just confused about choosing which campus. You see, the same taekwondo coach I also recommended to enter the TNI because I am quite accomplished Gam..," said Rex to make Gama happy.

" Well great, take Rex !. I'd like to see you become a soldier. Definitely more macho later...!" said Gama.

" Eh, what do you mean by rich, Gam ?. You think I'm poor, weak or same-sex enthusiasts ?. Good thing far Lo. If in front of my eyes already abis I hajar Lo Gam...!" rex said annoyed.

The year passed quickly. Rex, Gama and Lilian live their lives as they should.

Finally Rex decided to become a member of the TNI AD according to the direction of the coach after he graduated from a public university with a Bachelor of Law degree.

Gama also continued his education in the automotive field in accordance with his interests since SMP. la successfully completed his education at one of the campuses in Semarang and earned a Bachelor of Engineering. Now Gama is trying to open a small business with the knowledge capital it has.

While Lilian successfully completed her education and earned a Bachelor of Nursing degree. Now he and Nadifa have been working at a private Hospital in Jakarta. Although different places but the two still often communicate and meet to release longing.

Later that afternoon Lilian and Nadifa met again after almost two months of making each other an appointment.

" It's funny to us now. I want to find it hard to ask for forgiveness. The time fix, uh or failed because there was a call to duty," Nadifa said as she grabbed a piece of cake and chewed it slowly.

" yes. If I'm not going to cancel, yes definitely Lo..," said Lilian with a smile.

" How is Li, has there been anything else...?" ask Nadifa.

" What's so bad?, clothesline...?" jest Lilian.

" Ck, you pretend you don't know everything. Yes dong Li guy, the clothesline...!" sahut Nadifa was upset to make Lilian laugh.

" Nothing yet..," said Lilian quickly.

" No one yet or Lo doesn't want to...?" ask Nadifa.

" Mmm.., I don't want to..," said Lilian.

" Why...?" ask Nadifa again.

" Males Dif's. Too pessimistic even make ilfeel..," said Lilian while melengos.

" Oh, the doctor who is rich in Drakor actor is yes. What's his name, Doctor Hilman right...?" ask Nadifa.

" Yes..," said Lilian.

" Why don't you want to, he's a handsome, pinter, cool again.", said Nadifa.

" But it likes to spread charm..," cut Lilian quickly.

" That's a big risk being Li's handsome guy" Nadifa said with a laugh.

" yes too. Keep Lo alone, how about Lo's guy...?" ask Lilian.

" O Evan, Li is dead" said Nadifa.

" Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi roji'uun's. I'm concerned about Dif. " said Lilian.

" Ish, what the hell is Lo. Evan didn't really die but died because I couldn't help it...!" nadifa said to make Lilian surprised.

" Wicked Lo Dif. People are still alive said to be dead.," Lilian said as she shook her head.

" Let's just. Than to think but never nongol meningan considered dead, yes ga...?" ask Nadifa while grinning.

Then Lilian and Nadifa laughed. But unfortunately their laughter stopped when a voice greeted them.

" How are you Lilian, Nadifa." said a woman.

Lilian and Nadifa turned their heads and looked at the woman who greeted them. That woman was the one who had been a part of their life a few years ago. The same woman who had also scratched the wound in Lilian's heart.

" I unplug first Yes Dif, it's time I work..," said Lilian as she hurriedly grabbed the bag and left the place just like that.

" Yes Li, be careful huh..," said Nadifa who was taken by Lilian.

Now Nadifa stood face to face with the woman. They didn't say a word other than just staring at each other in silence.
