Confidence(new)

.c42

The sound of knocking from the outside he ignored, the tightness in his chest never subsided, the confusion he felt paralyzed his brain. Let alone to think, to remember can not!

You have trouble digesting this problem, how can her lover be married? When is the wedding?

The one you know Nanta belongs to him two years ago. Can he be angry, or indeed he has lost without a struggle. Let alone fighting, to defend he was not given a chance.

If that's true, the disappointment can no longer be borne. Disappointed at Nanta lying to him and disappointed at the fate that betrayed him. Yes, he felt betrayed in silence, feeling toyed with by a sickening taste.

Now even Dara laughed loudly, clasping tightly to her hands in front of her chest. The walls silenced the sound of that heartbreaking laughter. Cover up the confusion by letting go of loud laughter. His heart still did not want to believe, and wanted to prove itself later.

After the laughter stopped, he got up and walked up to the window of his room. He could see the view below. Smile at the memory trajectory that is in front of him. Reaching the shadow with his hand.

Nanta the man who clasped his hand when he no longer wanted to live, was unwilling to accept this. A flash of memory danced in his shadow. Sometimes he laughs and sometimes he is silent.

Outside the door of her room Saka was still standing leaning against the door. It's late and they're all worried because Dara didn't come out of the room this afternoon. The most guilt-ridden Saka, his face did not show the slightest hint of hospitality.

No one dared to ask, the usually brave Fita was also silent. They were like fools watching a scene of drama. All they know is that Dara is having trouble with Nanta.

Until there was the sound of the door opening, they waited anxiously and also happy finally Andara wanted to come out, they had worried if Andara would do reckless things in there.

They all fell silent, noticing the sweet smile on Andara's lips, not a hint of sadness. What does their worry mean.

"Why are you standing at my door?" Ask Andara who got the ring response from them except Saka.

"laper yuk ah eat!"

"It was Lo who ate lunch today" said Alan who first realized.

Dara laughed, she took Alan to the elevator leaving the others, they were still digesting what was happening. They glanced cynically at Saka for making them stand worried for no reason.

Saka was also no less confused, he walked behind Alan and Dara with a judging look. Dara looks fine in addition to his current appearance.

Dara uses a short-sleeved t-shirt in a pair with long torn jeans on the front. Her hair was braided a little messy yet it complemented her current style. Not forgetting her cherry face.

He also feels stupid, does that mean you do not believe what he said earlier?

"why were you standing at my door?" Bisik Dara repeated the question to Alan.

"Let's know, I don't understand either" Alan replied without sin.

"You are so underworked!" Reply Dara which makes Fita, Tyas, Vian and Saka who stand behind them so upset.

Because of who they lack. And again they glanced cynically at Saka, blaming the man. Saka scratched his nape smiling confusedly. The atmosphere in the elevator was filled with laughter only Andara and Alan, those who stood behind the two did not want to participate in the conversation.

They decide to eat at the restaurant inside the hotel, Dara orders a lot of food. The girl's laughter answered their anxiety, Dara is fine and the holidays are going well. Tomorrow is their last day in Bali.

The vibrations coming from your phone on the table interrupted their jokes. Dara checked the name of the sender of the message, Made. That name is on her phone screen.

Made

Ra, so Dateng isn't?

Dara thought for a while, then chose to ask the others. Fita and Vian agree, but Alan and Tyas won't leave. Don't ask, he forbids.

After a heated debate, Andara can come with Fita, Vian and Saka.

They left by taxi.

Until there Fita was amazed by the race arena that was already very crowded. 

"Hi Ra, hi..." Sapa Made to Dara and the others.

"Have you started?"

"Belom, we're still waiting for Alex, our driver." Made immediately invited them into the racecourse.

Watching closer is more challenging. Dara mingled with other friends. He leaves his friend to greet another friend accompanied by Made.

Saka's sharp eyes never escaped watching the two. Vian patted Saka on the shoulder, as if saying that everything would be fine. Although Vian also does not like there are other men who are very close to Andara.

"Gue knows his opponent Alex yuk!" Get Made to hold Dara's hand.

"His friend is your friend too?"

"Yes, but he's from out of town. He's from Bandung!"

"Well, so this race allows all regions to participate?" Tanya Andara who was influenced by Made.

They approached the man in the race car, approaching the driver's side of the windshield. Made greeted kindly, Dara could see a woman sitting next to the driver's seat.

Alex turned his gaze next to Made, "Well, I've seen a lot! Lo model, right?"

"Yes, how do you know?"

"Gue often sees Lo in the long photos of the agency on various platforms!" Nial answered enthusiastically.

"Well, you can see it now."

"Yes, Lo's in racing too is it just watching?"

"Watch me! On the outskirts there." Point youara at the audience on the left side.

"Not cool, mending come along. I think I'm in Temenin Gisel. Come with me, Alex." Nial's proposal that already looks very familiar.

Dara noticed the girl in the car smiling towards her. He wanted to feel like he was in the race. Dara looked at Made.

"We asked Alex first, he came!" Point Made towards the red race car that just arrived.

Dara nodded as they approached the car. Dara greets Alex and immediately conveys his wish to Alex, Alex responds with pleasure. Finally he had a beautiful partner in the race.

The noise will start the race making Saka a little restless because he never saw Andara. His eyes continued to search in the crowd. Vian was also no less frantic looking for the whereabouts of the girl.

Until Made came alone to them. Without much ado he asked where Andara was. Made pointed to the red car that had just been speeding away leaving the starting line. Saka was made up in the mist knowing that. He clutched the front of Made's shirt with an angry face.

"Who wants to come along, because he says he wants to relieve stress. I'm off limits but he wants to come!" Clearly Made was relaxed yet clear.

"I shouldn't have let him win you guys, asshole!" Maki Saka who can't hold back her emotions.

Vian tried to tear the two apart, but an inevitable blow landed on Made's face. Made also returned the blow fiercely. Some people helped Vian break up their fights.

"Mending we wait for Dara at the finish line Ka," said Fita who had just been silent.

Saka and Made stopped hitting each other as both were already battered. Saka stared cynically at Made, but Made only smiled with the tip of his lips bleeding.

Dara and Alex made it to the finish line first, meaning they won. Dara smiled broadly feeling that her mind was distracted and even the tightness that had been holding her back disappeared.

before getting out of the car he asked Alex if there would be another race? Alex replied if there was a race about two weeks from now. They promised to meet in the race again in the next two weeks.

They were greeted with the boisterous sound of the audience. Dara felt something else in her heart, she started to like this dangerous thing. It was like getting out of the comfort zone that he had been enjoying.

There was a hand pulling him from the crowd. The fierce face of Saka made Andara's smile disappear. The girl noticed that there was a bruise on Saka's face. The man pulled Andara back to the hotel. They sat quietly in a taxi without anyone wanting to talk.

Vian and Fita were no less disappointed with Andara's recklessness. After arriving, they went straight into their rooms. Except for Andara, he entered Saka's room. Still both silenced, but Andara did not want to feel guilty. I can't wait two more weeks to race.

Getting out of your comfort zone for the first time makes you addicted. Saka sat on the edge of the bed staring intently at Andara who was sitting next to him.

When going to talk a phone call from someone interrupting their residence. Dara checked who called her. It turned out to be from Nanta, his haughty face had just turned sad. His heart was pounding fast even his hands were slightly shaking almost dropping his phone. It was caught in Saka's vision.

Dara picked up the phone trying to look okay, "Hallo is she brother?"

'Why didn't you pick up the phone earlier? i'm worried!'

"Andara just came home with the other maen. You sleepy, tomorrow Dara call again, brother? bye sis!" Dara immediately turned off her phone.

Dara looked at Saka who was also looking at her. Dara smiled and went to look for red medicine in Saka's suitcase. The man always carried red medicine while traveling.

Painfully applying red medicine to the wound on Saka's face, Saka opened the conversation first.

"So you're angry, you can hit me here or here. But don't do that right, don't make me angry and worried!" said Saka slowly, with both hands framing Andara's face.

Dara who had been focused on staring at the wound on Saka's face was now looking right at Saka's eyes. They looked at each other with deep eyes. Dara did not want to be weak so immediately shifted her gaze.

Saka again pulled Dara's face to look into her eyes.

"Lo can cry, no one is forbidden because I am always there for Lo. But, don't look for any other way to express your pain!" Saka rubbed Dara's face with affection.

Dara really didn't want to cry. He covered with a laugh and then drowned his face in the chest of the man in front of him. Hiding tears that can no longer be held. Without sobbing he just hugged his best friend tighter.
