I'm Not a Bet
Declaration



"Would you eat before you go home?" tristan asked Arindi who just got into the car. The clock shows at eight p.m., Arindi just finished from her art studio.


"Byeah" answered Arindi briefly. He looks very tired every time he completes a project in the studio is no exception tonight. However, unlike the days before. Currently there was a warm smile that greeted him until his fatigue evaporated just like that if he looked at that smile.


"Capek, baby?" Tristan gently rubbed Arindi's head.


"That's right, brother. But... Where are we going to eat?"


Tristan also drove a car on the street tonight after mentioning where to eat they will go.

"We're sitting here alone" pointed Tristan at a table with four empty seats.


"There is a chair that is two feet," said Arindi after looking around which there is still a place with two empty seats.


"Ntar is coming" Tristan replied quickly. Arindi is confused by the two people Tristan is referring to.


Shortly thereafter. "It's the guy." The others are Joe and Rendy.


"Yo Tan, well there's Arindi too. Hello beautiful," said Joe immediately took a seat in front of Arindi. Arindi was only confused by the arrival of two friends Tristan and then returned Joe's greeting politely.


Tristan put a flat face on Joe who started to have a sweet mouth, he gave him a sharp look. Jos pretended not to see it.


"That's very Tan Ngeliatin Joe. Why the hell, even though you are here," said Rendy began to tease Tristan.


"Son't you know what they're doing on purpose?" whispers of Arindi in Tristan.


"What right?" tristan replied half a whisper.


"Yes gapapa sak," said Arindi calmly.


"Ck. Whisperers. Brother gets jealous," teased Joe again.


"Joe... You know, you know, napa?" sahut Rendy again.


"Why?" Joe looked astonishedly at Rendy and Tristan. Then he realized something. " Wait, you guys dating?" he told Tristan and Arindi.


Arindi who heard Joe's words felt embarrassed until her cheeks turned red.


"I'm sure you guys are eating here because I want to tell the same of my two best friends who are said to be the most good at dating. That now I also have a boyfriend," explained Tristan while looking at Arindi who was silent a thousand languages because his cheeks felt like erupting.


"Haaa? Seriously this is Ren?" joe asked in disbelief.


"I guess I can guess. Congratulations to Tan. Finally after the full moon.." ledek Rendy.


"Gue wants to go home" Joe said as he stood up.


"Eits where are you going?" Rendy sat Joe back in his chair.


"Gue's heartbroken Ren, just want to go home. Crying in the corner."


Arindi just laughed at the behavior of these three men who fought each other's mouths and threw jokes at each other even though their mouths were full of food all night.


After a few minutes the food they ordered was immeasurable. Only leave drinks in each glass that has been reduced by half.


"Where... Anything else to eat?" tristan asked Arindi while gently rubbing her hair.


Arindi replied, suddenly the mango juice that Joe had just sucked out of his mouth. His eyes could not be separated from Tristan's hand that rubbed Arindi's hair.


"Why the hell, you sick?" tristan asked then while thrusting a container of tissue into Joe's face.


"Sister, the water is out" said Arindi quickly.


Joe cleaned his mouth full of droplets of juice without shame. "This kid's really dating for the first time, isn't he?" he looked at Rendy.


"Lo will know for himself, use it again," replied Rendy.


"But rich pro ga anyway. Lo really have Tan in front of us," said Joe put on a sad look.


"Why? You want me to elus too?" tristan asked as he raised his hand towards Joe.


"Disease," elak Joe made Arindi and Rendy giggle amusedly.


The night passed without feeling. Tristan's statement to his friend wasn't just a declaration. But he wanted to show Arindi how proud he was to have that girl by his side.


...----------------...


Arindi and Tristan arrive at the apartment.


"Come in. There's a lecture tomorrow, right?"


Arindi nodded. He did not give an answer in words. His eyes were busy looking at Tristan's handsome face. Feeling looked at by Arindi makes it wrong behavior.


"Why geliatin?" Finally Tristan asked in surprise.


"Can't you think about her own boyfriend?" goda Arindi later.


"Ga may not" Tristan said, then closer to Arindi. He leaned his face on the girl and gently kissed her forehead. "I'm just not strong if you keep doing that. Heart endure," Tristan's inner self in his heart.

Arindi walks into her apartment feeling happy after parting ways with Tristan. His eyes swept across every corner of the room looking for the figure of a person.


"Kak Anggara," he called out involuntarily. He forgot that Anggara will not return to his apartment tonight. He found a small memo lying on the table. On it Anggara's handwriting is beautifully engraved.


Arindi sat down on the sofa and read the message.


'Don't be sad because I'm staying. Lo ga apartment is suitable for a handsome and busy man. Call me if you want to get out of your comfort zone.


P.L.S. 5. _____1__ANGARA__________________________________________________________________'


"What kind of message is this? Who's sad if the message is content to fight rich gini?" muttered. He denied the sadness in his heart. Although it was only a few days, he lost that annoying figure apparently.


Arindi walks quickly around her apartment looking for something related to Anggara. Arindi thought it might be possible that she lied to him like her evil all this time.


However, after traveling here and there he found nothing even a strand of Anggara's hair was not left there.


Arindi was sitting limp on her bed. He looked at his phone and opened the contacts on his phone. He was looking for the name Anggara. After finding her, Arindi was astonished that her name had been changed just as it was written at the end of the memo.


"When did he change this? That time yes," murmured Arindi again. "Wait so it means 'brother with ten hearts' is this?" Arindi recalled Anggara's words back then as she called herself that.


"Why did he change his name to gini? He may have seen Tristan's name. Then when Tristan came that time, he knew?"


Arindi recalls the first time Tristan and Anggara met for the first time. Finally Arindi realized that Anggara at that time could guess that Tristan was Arindi's boyfriend and his actions at that time he was deliberately not because he did not know who Tristan was. But precisely because he knew.
