On the terrace Dimas was already sitting on a wooden chair and Alyssa came later. With an annoyed face Alyssa sat on the chair facing Dimas.
“Sa, why did you say you didn't know me?” Dimas started the conversation.
“You forgot yes? You used to say that we never knew”, replied Alyssa Ketus.
“OK, I'm sorry I hurt you. But it was a long time ago, do not need to remember again”.
“Such a thing you said that?! Do you suffer my heartache?!” Alyssa's been getting emotional with Dimas.
“Please Sa.. It's past”.
Alyssa stood up from her seat, looking for a moment at the man who had hurt her before she finally decided to enter her room. Alyssa left Dimas alone in front.
“Loh son, why was Dimas left alone outside?” Ratna's mother asked her son when she saw Alyssa go inside alone.
“I have an upset stomach Bu” replied Alyssa of origin.
In the room, Alyssa who was already upset again remembered Dimas who had once hurt her. Six years ago at school Alyssa learned that Dimas, who had been dating her for two years, was having an affair with her best friend.
Novi, his best friend since Junior High who he had considered like his own brother could stab him from behind. Quietly Novi and Dimas are in a relationship behind Alyssa. And it was known to Alyssa when graduating high school he accidentally saw Dimas and Novi was hugging in the school library. At first he thought it was just a casual hug as a congratulation for their graduation, but on the same day that night Alyssa who visited Novi's house was made to believe what she saw. He sees Dimas and Novi kissing and Dimas prefers to be with Novi instead of him.
The heartache Alyssa felt at that time was so devastating. Two people he loved betrayed him. Dimas is his first love and first girlfriend. It was very difficult for Alyssa to move on and from then on she was really very careful with the men who approached her.
Now having managed to forget the betrayal, Dimas was suddenly present again in his life. Makes Alyssa think back to her bad memories. He really doesn't know if his own mother is friends with his mother Dimas. Alyssa is confused whether she should tell her mother honestly that Dimas is her ex-boyfriend or just say nothing.

It's been over a week Dimas always comes to Alyssa's house. Of course to get the attention of the girl he had once hurt. But Alyssa always dodges whenever Dimas comes looking for her. Ratna's mother was very surprised by her son's attitude. Dimas was a nice and polite man.
“Nak, I noticed you always avoid every time Dimas comes home. What's wrong?” mother Ratna asked Alyssa when for the umpteenth time Alyssa was looking for an excuse not to meet Dimas.
“I don't like him Bu”.
“But Dimas is a good boy. You should try first to know Dimas further. Yes maybe you can be friends if indeed later you do not have the same feeling he” advice Ms. Ratna.
“Emm.. later on Mom, I thought again. Now I'm gonna take a nap. U are sleepy!”
”Loh... How are you?! Kan Dimas is in front, samperin gih. Kasian he has been waiting a long time”.
“But Bu..” Alyssa was still trying to resist.
“Udah, no buts. You met her once ya” pinta Ibu Ratna.
Alyssa finally followed her mother's will. He found Dimas who was waiting for him on the front porch of the house.
“Finally you want to meet me Sa” said Dimas when he saw Alyssa out the door.
“I just want us to be rich first Sa”.
“Kaya first again that's what do you mean?” alyssa asked sarcastically.
“Yes actually I want us to establish a rich relationship first again. I know you're still mad at me, but I'm actually Sa's nyesel. At first I was able to escape you, but since we met again that time I really think you continue. Every day it feels like I want to meet you” replied Dimas honestly.
“Such a thing you said rich. You've never been in my position. Sick knows Dim, lied to the same two loved ones it”.
Dimas could only stare at Alyssa with regret. How foolish he used to be to be tempted by Novi. And worse, he prefers Novi over Alyssa. He used to think Novi was more fun to date than Alyssa. Moreover, his friends are more familiar with Novi than Alyssa. Yes, Novi is indeed more sociable than Alyssa, which is why many of Dimas' friends are more supportive of his relationship with Novi than with Alyssa.
When the two of them were silent without a word, Alyssa suddenly saw from a distance a familiar car approaching towards her house. Alyssa stood up to make sure that the car was Nathan's. After the car was parked right in front of his house, Alyssa immediately smiled and ran a small approach to Nathan and Alvin who just got out of the car.
“You guys why did you come here? Not that there is still a promotional schedule for the next two days huh?” alyssa asked Nathan and Alvin.
“Sa, better talk inside. Later if the neighbors see Nathan here can be excited sekampung” said Alvin who was then approved by Alyssa.
Alyssa drove Nathan into her house. While Alvin was silent for a moment on the terrace when he saw Dimas still sitting there.
“What are you doing here? Want to hurt Alyssa again?” alvin asked suspiciously.
Alvin and Dimas knew each other because they were schoolmates. When Dimas was caught cheating with Novi, Alvin was the place to confide Alyssa. He always comforts his best friend and promises to always protect Alyssa from the brengs*k men who want to hurt her.
“I have nothing to do with you” replied Dimas briefly and immediately left without saying goodbye from Alyssa's house. Dimas still grudges Alvin because he was beaten by Alvin until battered for defending Alyssa.
In the living room as expected, Ms. Ratna was very excited by Nathan's arrival to her home. He unceasingly cried out in joy so in disbelief with Nathan's presence there. He began to behave coquettishly that made Alyssa shake her head to see the behavior of her mother.
“Mother already, do not have to be rich so” said Alyssa when she saw her mother was unceasingly selfie with Nathan.
“That you this is how it is, it is rare for an artist to come to Mother's house, never even again. So this opportunity must be utilized with the best nak” replied Ms Ratna who is still continuing her photos. He had forgotten about Dimas' arrival.
Alvin who just entered the living room immediately approached Alyssa.
“Sa, Dimas why are you here?” alvin asked Alyssa directly, who was heard by Ratna and Nathan's mother.
“You know Nak Dimas?” Ratna's mother asks Alvin and stops her selfie activities with Nathan.
“Iya Ma'am, we used to go to school and she's her ex-boyfriend Alyssa” replied Alvin honestly who made Alyssa stomp her foot hard.
“Aw! Pain tau Sa!”
Ratna's mother couldn't believe what she had just heard from Alvin's mouth. Because Alyssa had always said that she did not know Dimas even though they were one school. Why didn't Alyssa tell him the truth? Did Dimas ever hurt her so Alyssa didn't want to see Dimas all this time? The question suddenly appeared in Bu Ratna's head.
