“Heh, ugly. Move you!” Someone pulled my hand over the edge.

Theo just passed by in front of me with Chika wrapping her hands around her arms. I looked at the ten fingers, looking for clues to their relationship. Niente. There is no engagement ring on Chika's finger.

Why are people so stupid just because they walk together? It seemed that Theo did not like being around the woman. It was not her hand that held the girl, but the flirtatious Chika wrapped her hand around Theo's arm. The young man even looked stiffly held so.

It was different when he walked with me. He who held my hand until half dragged me to follow him. But the people who saw us never thought we had a special relationship. Believe Theo likes me neither does he.

As soon as Chika walked by him, they immediately looked at them full of admiration. Theo clearly did not touch him at all or looked proud walking by his side.

“If you look carefully, they both match, yes,” said a woman to my right.

“True. Theo who is handsome, intelligent, and wealthy is a matching couple for Chika. She's beautiful, tall, and smart. I heard, he is also a rich man from Medan,” replied his friend.

“When can an ordinary person like us change our fate if the rich only choose the rich to be their partner?” the first woman.

“That can change your fate only you,” I said, can't bear to hear his complaint. “Their family was also originally so. Fight from zero to become a successful person.”

I left them without waiting for their response. I don't know why they pulled me over the edge to let those two pass. It's a corridor for the public, not a catwalk or alley to the altar in the church.

Sonata and I sat next to each other during the morning and evening lectures. He laughed seeing me leave in a hurry after the last course. I haven't told him all my daily activities, because I don't fully trust him yet.

Matt doesn't do music rehearsals anymore, so he looks a lot fresher. The decision was very good, because their performance would be bad if the whole music player exhausted like Matt's condition on the previous night.

On the way to my residence, my phone shook. I saw a number I didn't know, but I answered the call. I was happy when he mentioned the name Wiryawan. A name I will never forget.

“Good, I can,” I replied enthusiastically.

“You sure? The show is two days away,” said the woman worriedly.

“Yakin, Ma'am. Give me a list of the songs so I can prepare myself.”

“Wah! Mr. Norman doesn't talk carelessly. You did immediately accept our offer,” he said with relief. “Okay, all the details will be sent by email. Please, give me your email address.”

Which fool would turn down a well-paid job? I'm sure they won't be stingy about respecting my services. Reading the row of songs I had to play, I let out a sigh of relief. I know all those songs, so I just need to warm up for a moment before playing them.

On Friday before lunch, Theo was already waiting near the door of my lecture hall. Sonata smiled meaningfully, then pushed my body to get closer to the man immediately. I frowned because of his attitude. He even laughed giggling.

Theo frowned looking at our behavior, but he didn't say anything. Just grabbing my hand, then holding me down the corridor. Everyone's attention is on us. I raised my head proudly to let them know, it was not me who was flirtatious to hold this young man's hand, but the other way around. It was very different with Chika.

“I'm really who to you?” I asked him when he gave me his helmet.

“Pacar,” the answer is short. He wears his helmet, then rides his motorcycle.

“Then who is Chika to you?” ask again. Did he not realize he had done something strange? She walked with Chika the day before, then today with me.

“Friends one generation,” answers indifferently.

“No road force friends while holding hands so,” I said annoyed.

Why do I feel so angry? I don't know. Maybe because he answered arbitrarily about our relationship, but his attitude did not show there was any special relationship between the two of us. Or am I just anxious because the woman who is my rival is Chika?

“Gue hungry, Amaryllis. Quickly go up or I drag you to the destination,” threatened.

“You do not have feelings,” umpatku, before riding the motorcycle.

He chose a place to eat that was quite far from the campus. I looked at the place confused. Was there a special celebration with her family that she took me to this seemingly expensive restaurant? Ah, yes. Maybe today there is a family member who has a birthday.

He took me inside. The room was quiet, no one occupying the table was available. Why did he choose this place? Is there a secret we'll discuss? He suddenly turned around, hugged me, and stood still for a while.

My heart was pounding loudly, shocked by his sudden action. I was afraid he could feel it. Realizing he didn't do anything, I moved wanting to escape. He loosened his arms and kissed my forehead.

“What do you now believe lo is my girlfriend?” tanyakanya.

My face warmed up hearing the question. He did this to convince me of our relationship? What use? How long can we hide like this without being caught by others? After all, no one would have condoned our relationship.

“You realize that your parents will never approve of our relationship, ‘kan?” my many.

“Gue hasn't thought of getting there yet. Here's enough.” He moved his body away, took my hand, then opened the nearest chair for me.

I sat down and put my bag on the empty chair next to me. “We have to break up when you are officially engaged to Chika or whoever the girl chosen by your parents,” I said firmly.

“No,” answer.

“I don't want to be your affair, Theo,” my protest.

“How many times do I have to say, lo is my girlfriend,” he said firmly. “Lo the first, not another woman, whoever she is later.”

“Tante is very good to me, so is Om. I don't want our relationship to break down because I'm the dark boyfriend of their eldest son. You are the heir I believe they are preparing to lead your family business. So, no, Theo. We better break up!”

“Enough!” hardiknya, surprised me. “Gue said, I decided everything, not you. Do not discuss breaking up again or you will regret it has made me angry.”

I sneered at his threat. I know a calm person will not necessarily be that calm when his anger is provoked. So, I chose to shut up and hold back the sentence that was already at the tip of my tongue. This place is not a suitable location for a fight.

We ate in silence and he just kept focusing on his book. On the contrary, I cannot study with a heart that is still upset. I am not the one who easily shuts his heart and brain out of a problem and can continue his activities as if nothing is wrong.

He drove me back to college after we finished eating. We both still have school hours until the afternoon. I didn't refuse when he took my hand. Everyone's attention is on us. Did he do this on purpose?

Not there, he stopped at the door of my lecture hall, then kissed my temple. I could feel all eyes directed at us. He's gone mad. Did he forget about our deal to stay backstreet?

“Gue decides everything about our relationship,” whispered before taking my hand off and going to his college room.

My heart beats fast. I took a deep breath, only to realize that I was holding my breath earlier. Does he know what he just did? I look around me. People were still rounding their eyes, not believing the new thing they had witnessed.

“Ciiee …. Close friend or friend ‘near’?” seduce Sonata as soon as I sit by her side.

“Silence, Sonata.” I looked around us with concern. “We're just friends.”

“There are friends wear kiss forehead all. It is only done by husband to wife or girlfriend.” He blinked one eye. I put my finger in front of my lips.

Sonata several times glanced at me and smiled meaningfully, but that was not what kept me from listening to the lecturer's explanation. Why did Theo kiss me everything? Did he purposely announce our relationship to everyone?

Walking with Sonata through the corridor did not let me out of the attention of the students. They looked at me who was walking in front of them while whispering with a friend next to him. Sonata chuckled, happy with all that attention.

“Until next Monday, Amarylis. Greetings to your girlfriend, yes.” He blinked one eye as we parted. He turned to the right, and I went to the left. Just-there's.

“Amarilis, Amarylis,” said Chika who blocked my path so I was forced to stop. Two large men stood on his right and left side. “Are you tired of living quietly?”

“We don't have any business anymore, Chika,” I said, reminding.

“Then why did you approach my future husband? Don't blame me for doing this, Amarylis. This is a lesson for you who have dared to kiss my fiancee.” He moved back and the two men came forward to approach me.

I swallowed heavily. “Are you blind? I didn't kiss her? He's the one who kissed me,” my protest, trying to explain. Seeing him just shut up and the two men preparing to attack, I shrieked. How can I fight these two alone?
