Although the night was getting late but Ratna could not close her eyes as well, she still thought about her agreement with Ian. Actually he was just kidding, he thought Ian would give up if challenged like that but in reality Ian instead agreed.
One side of his heart said what he had done was extremely commendable, but the other side said no one was at a disadvantage in this because they were basically mutually beneficial.
"Five hundred thousand, I can buy a cell phone with that money" he murmured impatiently to receive the money.
Ratna began to imagine spending that money with all sorts she wanted, from food to her other essentials. The shadow he kept bringing into the dream, making him sleep well until morning.
The next day Ian met him after school, he drove Ratna to work and again discussed their plans.
"I'll pick you up at exactly seven o'clock in the evening, an hour earlier than our meeting with Sela" Ian said.
"Why?"
"It's okay, I just want to get ready"
"Oh well" replied Ratna briefly.
They had already arrived at the tavern spot, Ratna was about to get out of the car but Ian suddenly held her back. With a worried face, he asked.
"Tomorrow night, you'll keep your promise, right?"
"Just relax, I'm not the kind of person who likes to lie"
"Alright, "answered Ian let her go.
The problem of love is complicated, he can not express his feelings to Amus but he still does not understand why Ian was desperate to lie too.
The agreement has been set, whatever Ian thinks is not his responsibility. He just needed to do as Ian requested and it all ended quickly. That night, Ian suddenly shows up and says he'll drive her home.
"I told you you didn't have to do it" Ratna said.
"I need to know where your house is so I can pick you up tomorrow, anyway I want to give you this" Ian replied as he handed me the grocery bag.
"What's this?" tanya Ratna received the bag.
"Tomorrow at night wear these clothes, I want you to look worthy of my company"
"What do you mean? am I so low in your eyes that you say so? just so you know the stupid girls who claim to be your fans are inferior to me" Ratna said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that" said Ian, aware of his erroneous remarks.
"I mean, I just want you to look great so Sela admits that my new boyfriend is better than her" she explains.
"Have you got me on the blood, let's go home!" ratna ketus.
A new lifetime this time Ian faced a girl whose temperament is bad, but if you think again his speech just now was already outrageous. Along the way to Ratna's house they didn't talk a bit, Ratna was still angry about it and it made Ian worried.
"Stop in front" Ratna said.
"Oh well."
Ian stopped his car right in front of the alley at Ratna's request, they both came out and still with an annoyed face Ratna spoke.
"Tomorrow to pick me up here at seven"
"All right" replied Ian.
Ian was about to speak again but Ratna had already turned her back and left him alone, with her still irritated heart he walked over while grumbling to himself.
"You just got home?" ask Ardi who just got out of Jimy's house.
"Hm"
"Why? is there something that pisses you off?" asked Ardi who clearly saw the frown on Ratna's forehead.
"No, I'm just tired"
"Really?"
"Don't make me even more upset, I'm really tired and want to go to sleep" Ratna said.
Ratna did not answer the remark, she just went to her house. Quickly go to sleep so that the feeling of fatigue and sadness is gone, tomorrow morning he also woke up with a better mood.
He impatiently passed the activities at school until it was time to go home, rushed he went to the store and told him that today he would go home early because there was business.
Hamdani allowed, at six o'clock Ratna was already on her way home. While passing through Ardi's house they accidentally cross paths.
"Tumben once you get home fast, are there a lot of customers today?" ask Ardi.
"No, I have business so purposely ask to go home quickly"
"What business?"
"It's none of your business!" ratna answered that upset Ardi.
"What is your attitude? are you coming to the moon?" ask Ardi who is not comfortable with Ratna's behavior.
"I'm gonna take a shower, bye!" ratna walked away.
Arriving at home she immediately prepared, wearing the clothes that Ian had given her Ratna polished her face with a little makeup to make it look more beautiful. In front of the mirror he looked to see if his appearance was appropriate, he wanted Ian to be satisfied with his appearance so as not to get ugly comments again.
At exactly seven o'clock in the evening Ratna put the last touch on her appearance by tying her hair, after which she went ahead to meet Ian who was apparently waiting for her.
"Hows it? do I deserve to be with you now?" ask Ratna.
He saw from the tip of the foot to the tip of the hair, the clothes he gave apparently did fit and fit in wearing by Ratna. With a little makeup now Ratna appears sweeter to make Ian quite surprised at the change.
"Wait a minute" Ian said.
Suddenly he approached and removed Ratna's hairband, tidied her hair a little and then said.
"Let your hair unravel, that's better"
"Alright" replied Ratna quietly because when Ian removed his hairband his body was so close that it made his heart beat fast.
"Let's go!" take Ian.
They soon get into the car, on the way Ian again recalls the scenario he had created to perfect their play.
They arrive at the cafe where in an hour Sela will come along with her new boyfriend, Ian looks restless while occasionally looking at the door.
"You're going to meet your ex, not the president, so stop worrying" Ratna said.
"I'm not worried, I just can't wait to show my new boyfriend to her"
"Hey! remember that this is just pretend"
"I know. "reply Ian.
An hour passed just like that but Sela had not come yet, Ratna who had been waiting while drinking to go to the toilet first left Ian who was hoping for anxiety.
When she thinks Sela will break her promise, the cafe door opens, showing Sela coming with her new boyfriend.
With a hand holding his new girlfriend Sela walked up to Ian, his face was radiant and full of confidence when he saw Ian was alone there.
"Sorry we're a little late, you know for yourself a girl takes longer to dress up" Sela said.
"No problem" Ian replied.
That night Sela looked beautiful as usual, only the romance shown by Sela with her new boyfriend made Ian upset and undo his intention to praise.
"Then....Where's your boyfriend? you didn't forget to take her, did you?" ask Sela.
"He's going to the toilet, he'll be back soon"
"Oh so"
"Ah that's it, baby!" call Ian when you see Ratna who just came back.
Sela and her new boyfriend immediately looked back to see Ratna, the smile that Ratna had prepared to welcome Sela instantly vanished as she looked at the figure of the man standing right beside her.
