“Can I ask for Chelsea number, Nia ?”
This afternoon finished seeing the lecturer, with the help of Dio, Reno met Nia in the campus cafeteria.
There was only Tomi and Dio accompanying him, Edo had no schedule to go to campus today.
“It's not my right to give Sea numbers to others, let alone you. If you just want to say thank you please convey to Om Agam or Aunt Nina.”
“I don't just want to apologize and say thank you, Nia. I really want to talk to Sea because there's something important I want to say.”
“Chelsea went to erase you in his life and forget all the pain that kept breaking his heart, so please let him calm down. Let's just say the affidavit was the last gift from her.”
“But Nia..”.
“Already Ren, learn to accept reality,” Dio cut off his best friend's speech. “Do not expect too much. Elo must be aware of how big the injury is and what might be as easy as Chelsea forget it.”
“Gue agrees with Nia and Dio, Ren,” Tomi. “Give Chelsea time to organize her heart and heal her wounds.”
Reno sighed with a disappointed face. Brow wrinkled. Not not wanting to understand and make room for Chelsea to heal itself.
These few days Reno's mind really couldn't calm down. What if the only way to heal Chelsea's wounds was to forget and remove Reno from the girl's life ? Reno will lose Chelsea forever.
“Nia,” Reno's wistful gaze made Nia almost fall down due to pity.
“Please tell Chelsea if necessary every time you communicate with her, tell her that I am very, very sorry for all my actions to her.”
“If I remember,” taunted Nia while smiling cynically.
“Please ask Sea to give me one chance to meet him. Just one chance. And I will continue to wait here until the opportunity is given by Sea.”
“In your dream ! That's what you always say to Sea every time he expresses his feelings?” cynical Nia while getting up.
Reno smiled bitterly and did not deny Nia's remarks because that was the way he had behaved at Chelsea.
“I between Nia first entered the class,” Dio went and patted his best friend's shoulder and followed Nia who had walked first.
“Sabar, Bro,” Tomi who is still accompanying Reno along pat her best friend's shoulder. “Chelsea aja can be patient with elo many years, maybe now it's your turn to be patient to prove love elo with him.”
Reno smiled bitterly again and grabbed her drink glass and gulped it down.

It's been 1.5 months Sherly occupied the apartment prepared by papa Robert, Actually physically, the condition of Sherly's stomach is growing only seen since the last 3 weeks, previously not too inviting attention.
But somehow, Sherly chose to hide and postpone the script until 1 semester.
Since yesterday afternoon her heart was made uneasy by the message sent by Reno, asking Sherly and her parents to meet at Om Boris's office.
Sherly had already closed all the loopholes that allowed Reno to deny her words, even the friend who helped Sherly to run Reno's intentions at the hotel that afternoon had gone missing somewhere. But Sherly also knows that Reno is not a quitter.
“You should be able to be calm, Sher. Andi's doctor has met with Reno's family's men and confirmed that your DNA test and gynecology examination do not deviate from legal problems. So I'm sure that the Reno family can't find a way to refute your statement.”
Umar, Sherly's birth father, looks upset to see his daughter pacing in the middle room of this quite luxurious apartment.
“The time limit you gave me is almost over, so it is likely that they will accept your fetus as a Reno child and will soon formalize your relationship.”
“Hospital problems and DNA tests are safe, Andi's doctor dares to guarantee about it. CCTV footage at the hotel has been tampered with and Neo has given you money to disappear, so what more evidence can Reno and his family get ?”
“How about Reno to ask for a DNA test reset ?”
“Same as before, we set in the final results section so that not many people need to be involved.”
Sherly let out a long breath . Her worry keeps her fetus moving actively and Sherly can only grimace due to pain.

At 10 a.m., Sherly and her parents arrived in front of Om Boris' office. Only the face of Sherly's mother still looks arrogant, papa Sherly tries to be calm and Sherly herself looks restless.
Her palms were cold and Sherly rubbed her stomach several times to make her baby calmer.
Inside the not-so-big room was Reno and her parents and Revan, Reno's older brother.
Had it not been for the sake of formality, Juanda's family would have been reluctant to shake hands with Sherly and her parents.
“Still doubting that Reno impregnated Sherly ?” mama Sherly's cynical voice made her husband and daughter immediately turn their heads.
Om Boris has not said anything but mama Sherly who does not know sit down the real issue immediately reveals the emotions of his heart.
“Today the Sherly and Reno families are reunited for mediation, Mom. The two sides can discuss, accept and deny the evidence until a mutual agreement is reached. For information only if this mediation process will be recorded and present witnesses who have been selected by both parties.”
“What needs to be mediated again if all the evidence is clear and valid ? Is the end of just the submission of the money and the statement that the child conceived by my daughter is not the child Reno?”
“Mothers, as parents we both want the best for our children. Like I believed Sherly, I believed Reno. Let them both prove what is right and wrong,” mama Siska who can not stand to see the behavior of mama Sherly was finally open voice.
This time he will not be silent and can only cry. Reno has shown a statement made by Chelsea and told about the beginning of the hotel room incident.
“Ma, calm down first,” papa Sherly restrained his wife's arm and asked her to sit still, following the mediation rules that had been prepared.
Several times Sherly grimaces make both parents worried, but not with the Reno family who see Sherly's behavior as a play.
“So how did Reno answer about the evidence provided by Sherly's family about her pregnancy ?” Om Boris was finally able to open the mediation formally.
“I turned it down, Om and I can prove that all of Sherly's allegations are untrue. I've never fucked Sherly, so how could Sherly be pregnant with my child ?”
“Bas a coward !” mama Sherly stood up while pounding the table. His gaze was full of emotion staring at Reno who was acting calm.
“You may deny the results of your actions to my daughter. What other facts can you buy with your money ?”
“Facts that Aunt's husband has paid people to fake the results of this DNA test and delete the CCTV footage that was in the hotel on that day.”
“What do you mean ?” sherly's mama's voice began to die down, not all that before.
“Please ask Aunt husband and child, what they have done.”
Mama Sherly turned her head, looked at her husband and daughter in turn and asked for an explanation of Reno's words,
“So you assumed I was lying to you about my pregnancy Reno?” Sherly began to play her role, the roar of tears slowly becoming sobs.
Reno smiled cynically and began to feel sick of seeing Sherly's play. His emotions wanted to dart out of his mouth, but Reno remembered Om Boris' message.
Not always throwing atomic bombs at the beginning of a war is the best solution to end the battle.
It would be better if you can drop the opponent's mentality at the beginning of the fight with the aim to minimize the possibility of losing at the end of the war.
