Aruna noticed the reflection of her body from the mirror. The blue-colored nightgown motif of the frog has been attached fittingly to his body. Not to forget, he was wearing a long-sleeved black cardigan because the air was pretty cold tonight.

His rectangular thing was already in his grasp. Now, the girl is ready to meet with Ervin. The man holds the key to his car.

"Sir, Aruna ahead for a while, yes. Want to meet her." said the girl to her sister-in-law, Alisha.

"Yes. Don't come home late, yeah. Inget, this is a military area. Must follow the rules." reply Alisha while commemorating Aruna. The girl just nodded briefly. "Ready, Ma'am."

Aruna started walking down the houses of her other Army members. As usual, the house in the military dormitory always looks stiff for Aruna. All are equal, ranging from design, wall paint, and its shape. Maybe some there are different, but, if viewed as a whole everything will look the same.

Not far from Alisha's house, there is a kindergarten complete with its play facilities. Kind of iron swings, prosotan and others. There are also fish ponds and some plants that are deliberately planted around the pond. And most importantly, there were always trees along the way. That's what makes this area look so beautiful and delicious in the eyes.

Long enough to walk while looking around, Aruna finally arrived at the cooperative. There was Ervin and three other soldiers.

"And there's that beautiful girl" said one of the three men beside Ervin. Aruna lowered her head because she felt embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"Hush, Danki's sister. Don't fuck around, yeah!" ervin was a little upset. Aruna who heard that was immediately shocked and wondered.

"Izin, sorry Danton, I don't know if this Mbak is Danki's sister" said the person.

Ervin stood up, left his three members and now approached Aruna. When it was close, Aruna's arm was pulled slowly by Ervin. The man takes Aruna away from his partner.

"Oh, take off the cake!" aruna said a little grimacing. Not pain, but more uncomfortable because many eyes that highlight towards the two of them.

"Sleek." Aruna forcibly removed her arm from Ervin's grasp.

"Where are we going anyway? I want to give you the key to bother!" cibir Aruna was lazy.

"Udah, you come along. It's so fussy!"

"Vin, where are we going? No need to beat around the bush, I'm tired, want to rest." bajuh Aruna but not ignored by Ervin. He just kept walking.

Ervin stopped. And so is Aruna. They arrived in front of a parked Honda Brio. Ervin got in that car. "Good now." Ervin orders suddenly. Sontak Aruna refused.

"Son, what are you doing anyway? What else will you do to me?" sulcan Aruna does not want to lose. Ervin sizzled softly, the man got out of the car and approached Aruna.

"Lo wants the car keys back, right?"

"Yes yes!"

"Yes, come in!" tell Ervin to be a little upset. Aruna remained steadfast in his stance.

"Gue won't, Ervin!"

"Yes, I went back to the members. Go home there!" break up Ervin quickly. Aruna restrained Ervin's arm from leaving.

Aruna relented, "Hm, yes I'm up now! Lo's satisfied?!"

"Well, cake. It's a waste of time, you!"

"Ck." decak Aruna was upset. The girl could only stop. Ervin this is no ordinary person. He was reckless, and seemed to be able to do anything. If your wish is to be achieved. You should be obedient. Inner Aruna hissing.

Ervin started running his car. Still slow, 20km/h, this is the rule in the dormitory that must be kept. Ervin also opened his car glass, greeting the people he met on the road.

Aruna Anandita Dirgantara POV

The elite housing row became our destination. More precisely, Ervin. I just followed Ervin. I don't know what he's going to do next, which is clear, I'm just resigned.

"Let's go down." Ervin said calmly. He took off his seatbelt while getting out of the car.

I just according. Although in my heart I feel afraid, but should I just shut up? I can get my car keys he won't return.

I'm catching up with Ervin. One of the grand houses in the estate had been right in front of me. Modern homes that I believe will be very expensive. It's like the house in the movies. I swear, it's nice and so fancy. My house just seems to lose, there's not even anything.

"Lo's not planning anything anymore, is he? Serem because it was brought to this big house." I said half suspect, but Ervin remained silent.

"Vin, answer!" repeat me again.

"No! Please, don't take a minute can not really?" ketus Ervin made me instantly speechless. His tone is nereminous, like trying to swallow people alive. It's Aruna, you're resigned! Don't argue too much! For the car keys!

We started walking in. Ervin easily got into this big house. So this is Ervin's parents' house? How big is bener? He's a rich kid? How can?!

Right in front of us, there was a beautiful woman sitting on the sofa facing the big TV. Ervin patted the guy on the shoulder without excuse. Suddenly, the girl looked.

"It's customary not to use greetings when entering. I'm an Army still like you, Vin." decak the woman half annoyed. Ervin just smiled as he scratched his head.

"Who are you bringing? Beautiful really, Vin." asked the beautiful woman. Wait, it looks like me and Mommy have met. But where, huh?

"Lho, you're the girl I met at the supermarket a few weeks ago. Aren't you, Deck?" ask her cherry while embracing my shoulder. I smiled clumsyly.

"Eh, i-yes, Ma'am. My name is Aruna, the girl you met a few weeks ago." I said a little nervously. This beautiful mother invited me to sit down. While Ervin, he was silent as he looked at me in confusion.

"My name is Erliana, call me Erlin. Her sister Ervin's brother." replies Erliana introduced herself. Oh, the pantes are similar. It turns out he's Ervin's brother. Ck ck ck world as narrow as this turns out.

"You're Ervin's girlfriend, aren't you?" ask Ms. Erliana ngawur. I shake fast. "No, Ma'am. Ervin in.."

"My girlfriend, how's Ma'am, not pretty?" cut Ervin out quickly. I gawk. Staring at Ervin with a look of disbelief. Ervin, what the hell is it!

"Oh, still a candidate. All right Vin, Ma'am wait for the happy news." sambar Mbak Erliana with pleasure.

"Yes, wait a minute. But don't tell Mami and Papi. Wait for them to come home."

Stupid wong! Ervin is crazy! Me? Ervin's girlfriend, cih, not really!

I smiled clumsily as I occasionally glared at Ervin. He looked relaxed while tasting the dry snacks that were on the table. Sometimes Erliana invited me to talk, asking about family, work, and the beginning of meeting with Ervin.

Ms. Erliana also talked a lot about her family, Papi and her Mami, her husband and also her job. Apparently, this house is not the home of Ervin's parents, but rather the home of Erliana and her husband. And, what makes me look the most, it turns out Ervin is the son of a big businessman. Their company branches are everywhere, including to Malaysia and Singapore. But what, the kid even became a soldier? Songong pulak's!

The question becomes, why was I taken to the house of Ms Erliana? In what order? No, he wants to show off his wealth! Cih, you Ervin geblek! Edan! Gesrek him !

---

"Why don't you ever tell a story?" I asked him to open his voice while we were on our way home. Ervin chuckled softly while looking at me.

"So do you want to know about my family?" cecar Ervin turned around to ask. I was uncomfortable, Ervin just kept staring at me softly.

"No, I just didn't think you were a rich kid. And, it's weird why you're even a soldier. Even the salary is not comparable to what your parents have."

"If you want to know why, I'll tell you. But please, you can't tell this to anyone. Because I don't want anyone to stick with me because I'm aiming for treasure."

I approve. Anyway, who to tell. To Acha, that's impossible! To Mika and Alika? I don't think it's possible either, they're restless if I tell you about guys. There will be one ward.

"Gue just wants to live independently. That's why I took this road. Mami initially disagreed with my decision to enter Akmil. He said it was too dangerous to be an Army, to be a businessman, follow in Papi's footsteps. But I refuse, life surrounded by the wealth of parents is not good. That's why I made this decision. I kept convincing Mami until she finally agreed and accepted my excuse."

"But I'm not just an Army, I have my own business, which is the food business. And, the restaurant we ate at was mine."

"Gue hope, after you know this. Lo kept deketing me, and ngengep me this as a soldier. Not as a rich kid. And I hope, this makes our friendship begin."

The deg!

I'm too speechless with Ervin's explanation. It turns out that he has a lot of secrets that make me proud. Ervin in fact is not a spoiled child who knows just ask parents. Ervin was just another, he was different.

"Diem's cigarette?" asked Ervin to realize me.

"It's okay."

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry because my words were too harsh. And, I don't deserve to be bad at you. I hope you don't judge me on one side. Except from the other side. About my request, if you don't want it, it's okay. I won't make it."

"Which request?"

"Gue hope, after you know this. Lo kept deketing me, and ngengep me this as a soldier. Not as a rich kid. And I hope, this makes our friendship begin."

"Gue won't leave you. Although your attitude is strange, bummer, and make me annoyed. I will keep the same. And will not judge you from one side, but the other side." said I steady and full of courage. I hope this decision is right. Anyway, Ervin's a good guy. And it doesn't seem like he's going to have a bad influence on me. All right, the ice cubes are starting to melt now. My heart is starting to melt.

"Thanks." -."

"Hmm."

We're speechless. After this openness, the atmosphere turned awkward. Shame or whatever. Clearly, Ervin was more silent and focused only on the road ahead. And me, just looking at the street through the car window.

"Lho, Vin. This is the way to my house. What's to do?" ask me half confused. What's the night for my house?

"Lo don't need clothes and koas needs? Isn't it a week's stay at Captain Alief's?" guess Ervin as if he knew my next move. Geez, I just forgot about the clothes and the lackeys. Is this Ervin? Why would he even remember my stuff?

"Not to be surprised, I got a message from Mbak Alisha to nganter you take clothes. It's down there, don't be long, it's a shame." urged Ervin upon arrival at home. I was stunned for a moment. Ervin's treatment was beyond belief. He is able to make me gawk at any time, hiks!

All right, I'm covering from in front of Ervin. Leaving him in the car alone. Ervin seemed to laugh amusedly at my stupid behavior. Yes lah. I was clearly dazed by Ervin's much different attitude change. Ervin seemed warmer and more open, and it just made me crazy.

Moments later, I came out of the house with a large backpack filled with clothes. While my left hand carries some books that I will later use for koas.

Ervin got off the car. Help me get a big backpack in the car.

"Om Altha is asleep?"

"Udah."

"Oh thank goodness."

"Hm."

"Cepet in. It was night time, not good because it had to go through the provost." said Ervin told me to get into his car. After entering, the car then left the yard of Papa's house.

---

"This is your car key."

"Thanks, Vin. Thanks for bothering to go home. And, thank you for being open with me." I said kindly and quietly.

"Yes alike. I should've said thanks."

"What then? Why?"

"Udah is not discussed. There are no going home. I'm in there." Ervin replied. Yes, I was spoiled. It's ten at night, Ma'am Acha must be worried.

"Gue get off, Vin."

"Do you want me to help you?" tanya Ervin offered help. I shook my head quickly. Don't want much trouble.

"No, Vin. I can be alone, I'm." I refused subtly.

"OK on."

I got off the car. He regretted refusing Ervin's help. I swear, my backpack is heavy. Added thick books in totebag. I saw Ervin's car start to run and lost in the darkness. Alright Aruna, feel your pain now!
