Chapter XXXII

A month of Darren and Billa's matchmaking event, their families are excited about it, especially Ana and Maya. While their children still continue to rack their brains so that their matchmaking is canceled. Billa, who has always been unhappy with her best friend, is now struggling with Darren to get the blessing of their parents. Darren and Maira's relationship warms again, although Darren is not so calm with their relationship that somehow until when. Darren always had no heart to explain to Maira, he was happy when he saw Maira smiling again, but his heart and mind are always haunted by an arranged marriage that is very difficult for him to refuse because of the threat of Ana who is very efficacious for Darren.

Today Darren plans to meet Billa again without Maira's knowledge, they meet in their campus library on the second floor of their campus.

"Where is Ren, it's been a month but we still can't undo this matchmaking. My mother is getting excited about this matchmaking" said Billa with concern.

"Gue also does not understand Bill, my mother also always threatened me if I had to cancel this matchmaking," Darren replied in frustration.

"Gue's getting bad with Maira, Ren. Moreover, he was so eager to fight to get the blessing of Mama Lo, he wanted to make Lo fight together. But isn't this too evil if you're the same as me?"

"Gue also did not have the heart to explain everything is the same Maira." Brief Darren.

"Well, shall I sacrifice my friendship with Maira?" billa's complaining is getting more frustrated.

Darren and Billa are really dizzy. The marriage she never wanted, the match that made them have to choose, even though the choice was very hard for them. There will be a lot of heartache if the wrong choice is what they make.

Maira arrived at the college in her private car. Since her relationship with Darren was strained, she was never again on Darren's shuttle, preferring to go to college on her own, given the relationship they are now in about by their parents.

Maira deliberately left early, because she wanted to return the book that she had borrowed a week ago in the library. He stepped in with a smile that rose up the stairs, until he met Romi who was right at the end of the second floor stairs.

"Hi Ra," said Romi kindly.

"Hi, going to the perpus?" ask Maira.

"Yes, go back to the book" replied Romi

"Sama dong, along with yuk," Maira invited by continuing to develop her sweet smile.

Maira and Romi walk hand in hand with their small talk, until they arrive at the book-return counter guarded by the librarian.

"Mom, go back to the book" said Maira politely.

"Eh mbak Maira's. Good mbak. How come you're not the same as Darren? even Darren mas already in the same women wear hijab," said petigas library after knowing Maira came with Romi. The relationship between Maira and Darren is quite famous in the campus area, how not, Maira who came as a new student can melt Darren who is famous for his attitude, can melt with a Maira.

"Darren's inside, Mom?" ask Maira to make sure.

"Yes ma'am, it's only been ten minutes" replied the librarian.

Hearing the library attendant's reply made Maira develop her smile. While Romi already knows who the woman is with Darren. Romi's heart grew anxious, for the fate of his friends.

"Rom, come in yuk," Maira encouraged.

"Don't do it, I want to go back to class" Romi replied as if he didn't want to interfere in their affairs.

Maira and Romi walked into the library, looking at every corner of the room. Maira's eyes found the figure she was looking for, right on the bench where the students were reading, Darren and Billa were sitting opposite, no books in front of them, no books in front of them, only the look of a face full of anxiety was plastered between the two. Maira was very excited to approach Darren and Billa, but her steps came to a halt when their conversation was so intense, Maira tries to listen carefully to their chat right in the hallway of the bookcase that is behind the desk Darren and Billa, accompanied by Romi who is now standing next to Maira, the two of them listened intently to the chatter that was going on between Darren and Billa.

Like in a lightning strike, Maira's body stiffened at Darren and Billa's extremely painful chatter, her hopes instantly falling undisturbed. Romi looked at her pity, occasionally he rubbed Maira's back trying to calm down even though no words were spoken from Romi's lips. Romi seemed to understand what Maira felt.

Maira stepped away from Romi who was still standing beside her, trying to get closer to Darren and Billa.

"You guys," said Maira Lirih but can still be heard by Billa and Darren, her tears spilled instantly. Sontak makes Billa and Darren turn to the source of the voice.

"Maira" said Billa, who could not believe her best friend was in the same place.

"Ra." said Darren and got up from his chair trying to get closer to Maira, but Maira first ran away from the library.

Darren rubbed his face rough, and for a few seconds he ran to catch up with Maira. While Billa was still sitting in his place, drowning his face at the end of the table with an unstoppable roar of tears. A feeling of guilt enveloped him, unceasingly he cursed himself. Romi who had been standing in his place since then, now he stepped his feet closer to Billa who was also very bad.

"Don't cry anymore" said Romi flat.

At first glance Billa raised her head, making sure the voice was indeed for her.

"Gue's a bad friend."

"You're all victims, you don't have to beat yourself up." explained Romi with a still flat expression.

"I mean Lo?" billa asked cluelessly, who then raised his head and fixed his sitting position.

"Gue already knew everything, I also knew before Maira knew. Now Lo's job is the same Darren obviously to Maira." explained Romi firmly.

Billa just stared blankly, Billa was so frustrated with what happened a few minutes ago. His heart was broken, it was confirmed that his friendship was now destroyed as well, and all happened because of an arranged marriage that he never wanted. Billa seemed to continue to curse himself, he wanted to run as fast as he left his life that seemed gray suddenly. But whatever the power, good luck has not been on his side.
