Arumi still faithfully covered her entire body with a thick blanket. He regretted that last night he sang to the point of feeling. Now he realized, what if Alfaro understood the meaning of the song he sang last night. It feels like today, he wants to be in the tent all day.
"Rumi, let's get up" Risma said as she pulled the blanket over Arumi's head.
"What?"
"All the camping participants have gathered in front, for the race run together, let's get up," said Kiki ya is getting ready.
How is this, I'm not ready to meet him, inner Arumi.
"Any good minute, I take a shower." With her lazy steps, Arumi grabbed the towel and walked out of the tent. He turned his head towards Alfaro's tent, it seemed that Alfaro was still sleeping, he walked quickly through the big tent.

After finishing the bath and getting ready, Arumi and her two friends went to the place where all the campers were gathering. This morning, they will follow the race together around the pine forest surrounded by hills with beautiful mountain scenery.
Again Arumi glanced at the left right. Looking for Alfaro's whereabouts that he hasn't seen since. Not to go to him, but to avoid him. Risma and Kiki look at each other, they have one question, which is why Arumi has been acting strangely since.
"Rumi what are you looking for again? From that moment on, it was not clear, '" asked Kiki.
"Ah that .. I see the scenery here is very beautiful," he replied.
"That's Mr. Al, who is very handsome," said Risma, referring to Alfaro with great enthusiasm.
Arumi hides behind Kiki who does have a fat body. This morning Alfaro increasingly looks dazzling with suits, trending and also black Hoodie. In Arumi's heart, she begged that Alfaro would not see her, or come closer to her.
Accompanied by Aril, Alfaro bediri in front of all participants of the race this morning. His eyes looked busy looking for the figure of the woman who last night kept him awake all night. If he and Arumi were in the Mansion, Alfaro could be more free to meet with Arumi.

The sound of a long whistle sounded, a sign that the race had begun. With quick steps Arumi ran as hard as he could, not because he wanted to win but because he wanted to avoid Alfaro. So fast, he left Risma and Kiki.
"Rumi!" call Bima who is currently behind Arumi.
Arumi lowered his speed, and turned to Bima. Now they ran small in positions side by side. A smile emanated on the handsome face with dimples that were on both sides of Bima's cheeks. It looks very sweet, but Arumi looks ordinary, maybe because he has been blinded by another love.
"Last night you sang very well, I did not expect, even though the time at the karauke place you did not want to sing" said Bima.
"That's .. I don't know either, it looks like I'm in a ghost rasuki who lives in this forest, until I dared to come forward last night. Haha," said Arumi and then chuckled to himself.
"Haha, you're all there."
They stopped running, sitting on the side of the road while facing the mountain that was still covered by the morning fog. Loaded with dried leaves, they sat side by side. When Arumi tried to regulate his breathing, Bima was busy staring at him. A meaningful look, that look in the eye was like a man in love with his heart
"Rumi?"
"Yes, why?" said Arumi who has now turned to Bima.
"I want to continue my words that were delayed last night" said Bima with a partner who was not separated from Arumi.
"Oh yeah, what are you going to say?"
Bima swallowed the saliva with difficulty, the nervousness returned to her. But if not now, he would have regretted if someone had gone before him. Slowly he took a deep breath and then exhaled it. Arumi looked impatient to hear Bima's answer.
Long Bima tried to gather his courage, until the other participants had passed and left them. Risma and Kiki, who also passed through Bima and Arumi, did not want to say hello to the two, because they knew it would only interfere.
"I also don't know since when I felt like this, when we first met, I've felt like you're different, you're not like other women, the more days you always manage to amaze me with your figure. Now that I realize my feelings are unnatural, I'm out of our friendship zone ... Arumi, I love you," Bima said with a hopeful look at the feelings that have been conveyed.
Arumi was silent for a moment, never imagined if a moment like this would happen between him and Bima. In the eyes of Arumi, Bima is a good man, attentive and also hardworking. But it's too late, because Arumi's heart has been filled with the name of someone he's not too long ago realized.
"Male?" call Arumi.
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry, I can't return your feelings, but can we still be friends?" said Arumi hesitated, because he was afraid to hurt Bima.
A bitter smile adorned Bima's face, her head bowed lethargic. It turned out like this to be rejected by a woman who became his first love. It was so painful that his mouth was no longer able to speak. Seeing Bima like that, Arumi really felt guilty, he thought it was better he left Bima alone first.
"Mom, I'm going first yeah, sorry again." Arumi stood up from her seat. But suddenly Bima who was also standing immediately pulled Arumi's hand and immediately took her to the deck, hugging Arumi for the first time and perhaps for the last time as a man who has fallen in love and a man who is hurting.
"Bima, let me go." Arumi tried to push Bima's body, but Bima did not budge and instead tightened his embrace.
"I beg you, just for a moment .. won't be long. For the first and last time, let me hug you as a friend" Bima said in a trembling voice, Arumi could feel that Bima was really sincere with her. But he doesn't want to give an empty wish to a man he doesn't love. Slowly Arumi's hand moved upwards, patting Bima on the shoulder out of sympathy as a friend.
I'm sorry Bima, you came at an inopportune time. The moment when I've become someone's wife and I love that person, Arumi's inner.
From a distance, the burly hand was tightly gripped, his eyes reddened with anger, he was completely unwilling that something that already belonged to him was now touched by another man. Aril who was standing next to the boss could feel the fierceness of anger clearly visible on Alfaro's face.
"Sir, are you okay."
Alfaro just kept quiet without saying anything. Not wanting to be there for long, he turned around and walked away. The feeling he felt again, the same feeling when Sarah betrayed him, just now he wanted to open his heart to Arumi, but the hope he wanted to try to build, now feels free, now feels free, if in the end he should be betrayed again.
