Jeslin had started to enter the office again as usual. They, who yesterday went with him to Riga, only got one day off, and immediately returned to work as before. A lot of work is piled up and needs to be completed immediately. The atmosphere of the office is starting to get crowded. People then move to and fro, and become a habit that has been rooted in the office.

Busyness in the office has become commonplace. Moreover, their office has a busy schedule for several novels that are on the rise lately. Jeslin strained his muscles, intending to make a cup of coffee to refresh his eyes. Pantry does provide hot water, as well as eating and drinking equipment. There is even coffee, tea and sugar that employees can use freely. But unfortunately Jeslin prefers to bring coffee from his own home. Now he wants to brew the coffee, then bring it back to the desk.

"Say that's one of the authors. But his face is not clear. Guess who, huh? Our writer, right?" A discussion was heard as Jeslin walked into the pantry. It turned out that there were some employees from other divisions making tea.

"Lots, video. Trending on twitter! But he says he's one of the writers in our office!"

"What video is it? I haven't seen it!"

"Video porn. You haven't seen it yet, check it out. The title is very clear if the player is one of the authors here."

"Then anyway! But which one? I watched it but his face wasn't so clear."

"Well, blurry. The camera is far away. The quality is also ugly. There are a lot of writers here, right! Especially yesterday, there were a lot of new writers."

"But crazy too, if he's really here. How's guy?"

"I don't see it, because the camera's back at the guy."

Jeslin who had just entered, started to pale. He walked slowly towards the stove, lighting it to boil water. Jeslin prefers to use boiling water for his coffee.

His feelings began to feel bad after hearing their chatter earlier. Jeslin then turned off the stove and no longer wanted to continue making coffee. Hunt him off and go back to his desk. One thing he wanted to do, was check the cell phone where the news was.

Arriving at his desk, Jeslin immediately opened his gadget and searched for the video in question. Apparently true, if there is a video that is trending on one of the social media. It features indecent scenes of male and female couples in bed. Jeslin closed his mouth while continuing to watch the video that lasted 30 seconds. He can identify who did it. He and Ian. The place in the video is believed to be Ian's room. The man who was on top of his body, was indeed Ian.

Jeslin's tears were dripping. Hunt him down to turn off his phone and watch around. His coworkers seemed busy with their jobs. That means most likely they have not seen the video. But over time everything will be revealed. Because even though viewed from afar, everyone can definitely recognize who the woman who played the porn video. Especially if they are familiar with the player, then all can judge that the woman is Jeslin. His posture, the shape of his face is very typical of Jeslin.

The girl panicked. He did not understand why the video could exist in cyberspace. Moreover, his title clearly clearly refers to his company. "Hot video of the author of Kata Karya Publishing."

Jeslin's body started to heat up cold. He is no longer able to work. Jeslin was about to go to the toilet, but he hit someone behind him.

"Why, Jes? You sick?" ask Richard who is the owner of the company. Which means his boss.

"Eum, I ... A little dizzy, sir. "

"You're smearing stuff times. Yes, do you want to go home? How's it? It's nothing. Rest at home." Richard stared fixedly at Jeslin. Worried about the condition of one of his employees. However, he is also one of Richard's golden children because of the many works that have managed to make the name of the company. Jeslin is talented, and certainly a proud achievement.

"Can, Sir?"

"Bye, Jes. Want Mr Doddi to take you? You brought your own car?"

"No need, sir. I took a taxi."

"Aren't you delivered by Mr. Doddi?"

"No need. If so, excuse me, sir. Thank you." Thank you."

"OK if that's it. What matters is your heart, Jes."

Jeslin did not comment much, he just packed his things in a hurry because he wanted to leave the office immediately. Of course before his other friend knew the news that was dragging him.

Now he staggered out of the building. Several times someone offered to help, but Jeslin did not care about it. He kept walking. He did not bring a vehicle today. His car is still in Ben's hands, because Ben also picked him up at the airport yesterday. This morning, Ben drove Jeslin to the office.

Jeslin no longer knew what to do. Astrid is not home because there was an event with her college friends first. Jeslin stopped on the sidewalk of the road, he opened his phone with trembling hands. Every time he opened his phone, a shadow of the scene re-emerged in his memory. Jeslin then turns off the phone, and throws the origin into the bag.

He looked around, the streets still looked crowded. Especially when it's lunchtime. Jeslin walked away aimlessly. Several times he bumped into people walking in opposite directions with him. Jeslin's body staggered. Then the rain started to fall. He turned his head to the sky. His tears came down, and fused with the increasingly heavy rain. No one knows that she is crying right now.

Ben just finished the meeting. On exiting the office, the sky was already overcast with a loud thunder rumble. Not only that, the wind blew rather fiercely that afternoon. He stared at the clock on his wrist. "Well, it's late for me. Jeslin hasn't eaten yet, has he? Eat where is he? The car is still the same as me."

Ben grabbed his phone and immediately dialed the girl's number. It's just that Jeslin's number is off and makes Ben wonder. "Tumbens. He is usually active. Go to bed again and keep going. What a lowbat yes, keep forgetting to bring a charger."

Ben finally goes to meet Jeslin. He had also promised to pick up Jeslin for lunch today, but he was late for lunch because his job had just finished.

Raindrops have started to wet the windshield. Ben's feelings are starting to get worse. Somehow like something stuck in his heart and wanted to see Jeslin right now.

The streets of the capital are starting to jam. Ben was stuck at a red light several times. Until without realizing it, there was someone who walked in the rain aimlessly.

"Jeslin? Loh really him! Why is it a child!" peek at Ben who had just seen Jeslin walking past him.

Ben got out of the car. The rain was no problem for the young man. All he wanted was to catch up with Jeslin as soon as possible. At first he thought it was just a mistake to look. But when he started to catch up with the girl with the brown blazer that had passed him, he was very sure that it was Jeslin.

Ben ran to catch up with him. Now Ben's hand grabbed Jeslin's shoulder, and made him turn to the young man. The two looked at each other. The shocked Jeslin then immediately cried hysterically in front of Ben. While Ben who was confused could only look at Jeslin who was now actually hugging him. Ben immediately hugged her while continuing to stroke her back.

"Why, Jes? What's up?" ben asked still hugging Jeslin with the girl's crying voice heard. Jeslin's body was shivering because it had been raining for too long. Ben swiftly took off the suit he was still wearing, and put it on Jeslin. Although wet at least able Jeslin's body parts are exposed clearly because the inner shirt is thin. "We got in the car first, yeah. Yuk," take Ben and lead Jeslin to the car.

The sound of the horn was earthy because Jeslin's car that Ben had brought was blocking the road. Ben briefly greeted the road users around while apologizing. He opened the car door for Jeslin and immediately went inside. They also left.

While on the road, Jeslin did not stop crying. But he stared at the window on the side. The rain was getting heavier out there, just as Jeslin's feelings and thoughts were raging at the moment. Ben did not dare to ask again, because since getting into the car Jeslin's attitude was actually closed, just like when they first met a few months ago. It seems like it will be difficult to find an answer to his curiosity about what happened to Jeslin. Ben finally chose to be quiet while waiting for Jeslin to be ready.

"You ... You coming home from work, Jes? Tumben's got a bag?" ben asked when he saw the bag that Jeslin used to bring when he left and went home from work. Because usually if only lunch, Jeslin rarely carry a bag like now. He only carries a small bag for his cell phone and wallet.

"Yes. Take me to the apartment" said Jeslin coldly.

"okay."

Ben decides to go back to silence, until they finally reach Jeslin's apartment.

"Und through." Ben turned off the car engine, but Jeslin just stayed in his seat while staring at the side window that was still wet due to the rain.

Fortunately the rain had subsided, which now left wet marks and puddles along the way.

"Jes? You're good enough? What's the matter? You can tell me."

Jeslin turned his head, he had been silent since not that he had not heard Ben's voice, but his lips were faint, as if unable to make the slightest sound. Jeslin's eyes glazed over, Ben also continued to stare at Jeslin as he waited for him to speak. Ben was convinced that Jeslin would want to tell a story, just waiting for the right time.

"What do I do, Ben? How am I supposed to do?" Jeslin cried again, this time, while covering his face with both palms.

"Hey, why? What's the matter? Same story with me!" pinta Ben grabbed Jeslin's hands. He continued to stare at the girl in front, while trying to win Jeslin over.

"Ian ...," said Jeslin quietly.

"Dian? What else is that guy?" Ben starts to get emotional once Ian's name is called. If Ian is the trigger for Jeslin's cry, it means this is indeed a big problem. Ben also felt responsible. Whereas before, he could promise that Ian would not interfere with his life again.

"Witter! You look at twitter now."

"Look at me, Ben!"

"OK okay." Ben looked for the phone he had put in his pants pocket. Looking for social media that is meant by Jeslin, and now Ben understands what is happening. He glared as he looked at the 30-second video cut. Not finished watching, Ben actually read all the comments on the video.

"God! Why is it like this! The insolent! He's really outrageous. I should have killed that guy!" muttered Ben annoyed. He then started the car again. Jeslin who was crying, stopped in surprise.

"To where? Where are we going?" jeslin asked confusedly.

"We're looking for that jerk!" ben said seriously.

Jeslin did not refuse, but also disapproved. He kept staring at Ben who looked extremely angry. Even the way he drives the car is really ugly.

On the way, Ben called someone back. "Dji! Lo where is it?"

"Regular. At cafe. Why?"

"Let's see where that jerk is right now!"

"Which jerk?"

"Dian! Who else!"

"Huh? What the hell is it, Ben? Isn't that someone yesterday? Want to add more? Don't ya!"

"Yes, if I have to kill him!"

"God! Lo mouth! Don't be reckless! What the hell is it?"

"Crazy! Check out twitter now! This must be the dog's job! Buruan, find out where he is! I want samperin!"

"Twitteris? Why is that." The banner that was in front of the computer screen of his greatness, immediately looking for what Ben asked. "Baby video of the author? Ben ... This is the author ...."

"Jeslin's. It's Ian's asshole! Raven, Nji! I'm on the road again. Quickly find him where!"

"Well! Oh yeah yeah. Wait."

Panji picks up the phone on his desk, contacts someone and asks where Ian is now.

"OKAY. Thanks." Thanks."

Panji again switches to his phone where the call with Ben is still connected. "There's karaoke, yesterday!"

"okay."

"Lo get there, Ben? Uh don't be reckless ... Hit people." Not yet finished Panji speaking, the phone was turned off unilaterally. "Currently, the 10th World War!" The banner moved and then wore a jacket draped behind the chair. "Vik, I'm going! Take care of the cafe first!"

"Bbj ... Where are we going?" asked Jeslin who finally ventured after some time.

"I know where Ian is now. Let me teach him another lesson, Jes."

"But, Ben ...."

"Today I gave him a warning not to bother you anymore. But see now? He just raises a bigger problem. That means he's abstinent! I'm sure he did it on purpose."

Jeslin's phone rang. There were some messages from friends. Most people ask about the viral video. His hands are shaking. He did not even dare to open his own phone.

"Why! Who sent the message?"

"Everybody knows, Ben. I ... How am I supposed to? My life is ruined now."

"Hey, Jes. Fear not! We're gonna fix this. Don't worry, I'll help you. Okay?" Ben clasped Jeslin's hand trying to strengthen the girl.

Jeslin shook his head, his eyes were already swollen, his nose was red, his head was also dizzy. "I can't. I can't" Jeslin said with a weakened body.

This time Jeslin's phone rang loudly. Daniel contacted Jeslin many times. "It's Daniel! He must know that too."

Ben glanced at Jeslin's phone that never stopped ringing. Ben was also confused, he took a deep breath and did not know what to do. "Try here give me the hape," Ben asked.

Daniel's name is on the screen. Ben stopped at the red light. He answered Daniel's phone call. Because, after all, Daniel was no stranger. It was impossible for this matter to be hidden continuously, let alone seeing the current state that was occurring.

"Hello?"

"Well, you answer me, Ben! Where's jeslin?"

"There was. But ... He can't answer your phone anymore."

"He's good, right? Where are you guys? I just saw the news. Love hape to him. I want to talk!"

"Hm, I don't think so, Nile. Brother Lo is not ready yet," explained Ben as he turned towards Jeslin who continued to stare at the window to his left.

"Thus ... That really? Is that video actually Jeslin? Not the same, are you?"

"Don't be reckless, Nile. For me, this problem is not what you think it is. I'll be clear, or maybe when Jeslin's ready."

"You mean? Do you know this problem? Who's that guy, Ben?"

"Hufts. I will be clear. Not now. I'm driving again."

"Where are you going?"

"Karaoke summercamp."

"Who's what?"

"Gue wants to kill the man who ruined Jeslin's good name!"

"Huh? Holy hooch! Okay, Jeslin's the same, right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"gue to there. Wait for me,"
