“Then why?” I said as I sat down next to Ririn.

“Because happy dating with sister maybe.” Meta.

I laughed when I saw Ririn's red face. Funny I think.

Unconsciously my hand stretched out to pet her.

“Oh Yes Rin. You want to be a basketball member?” Ask Bagas to Ririn.

“Engga deh sis. I'm with another exkul aja.”

I looked at him confused, “Why?”

He then turned his gaze from Bagas to me, “Because one exckul equally you will be hard in my opinion.”

“Easy?”

“Yes, there will be a lot of talk that says I entered the basketball table because of you. Mending I join another exkul deh.”

“Cute what?” My toot.

“Emm, photography maybe? There's Meta and Kak Rio at that club.” The answer.

I nodded my head. It doesn't seem to matter if Ririn is on the excul. There's Rio anyway I can tell to look after him if there's anything.

“Already, that's the food I've anterin. We return to class yes.” I said while getting up from the bench.

Ririn then nodded.

I was about to walk but stopped and turned back to Ririn, “Rin, you will go home by yourself huh? I forgot that today there's basketball practice.”

I see a peacock smile on his face, “Oke!” Speaks excited.

I smiled and walked to my class.

“Bim, seems to be in stark contrast to what you told us.” Said Rio while already sitting on our bench.

I frowned confusedly, “I mean?”

“You said you were just pretending to be dating. But why does it seem like you really like Ririn?”

I did tell Rio and Bagas that I was only pretending to be dating Ririn. When they asked me why I said I couldn't say.

They both just nodded, trying to accept what I said.

“Why can you draw such a conclusion?” I said to Rio.

“Yaa the incident this morning. When busy copying pr you immediately stirred up when Jason said your girlfriend bullied Fany.”

I chuckled softly, “Yes that's why I pretended to be dating. To protect Ririn from Fany.”

“Then why do you defend anterine food for Ririn. Then suddenly you stroked his head earlier. Aren't you anti-touch?” Ask Rio again.

I was silent for quite a while. I was also a little confused by my attitude.

Suddenly Rio pointed his index finger at me with a laugh, “Just say. You really like him. Is pretending to be dating just your wits?”

I immediately took his index finger and twisted it backwards. Rio was complaining in pain yet still laughing teasingly at me.

“Whispering! Look ahead there. Mr. Edi is already in.” Quickly said.

Bagas who saw the scene earlier just patted my shoulder with a smile like saying ‘alah comrade, don't lie. We know everything.’

I didn't answer what. Do I really like Ririn? Since when?

Of course this is a good thing, considering that Ririn is my partner. But Ririn will also like me.

Aghhh!

“Nih, drink.” Say Bagas while thrusting a mineral bottle at me.

“Still.” I said, then gulped down the mineral water for half a bottle.

Because of the upcoming tournaments, lately training has been very tight.

I then pulled out my phone and typed something.

Milky

What again?

5 Minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes. There was still no reply from Ririn.

Bagas then patted me on the shoulder, “Bim, come on, break time is over. Sir Alan has called.”

I then nodded and put my phone in the bag and then ran after Bagas into the middle of the field.

I didn't think much of Ririn's reply. Maybe the woman was not holding a phone nearby.

The time has already shown at 8 when we finish training.

I took out a hp from inside the bag and stared at the puzzled hp screen. There was still no reply from Ririn.

I grabbed my bag and walked towards the car park. Bagas has gone home first, there are only a few vehicles parked in the parking lot.

I was a little disappointed to see the name on my screen. It turned out that was calling Rio, I thought Ririn.

“Halo.”

“Halo Bim's. You still at school?”

“Still. This is going home. Why?”

“Ririn lost Bim.”

“Lost?” Panicked saying.

“His parents called Meta, asking if Ririn was with him. The old man said when Ririn was last on the phone, Ririn was still at school. After that, he could not be contacted again. His parents are worried. Check in the school area. Me and Meta were looking around a place he frequented.”

“OK. I searched around the school area. If you've found it, let me know ya.” I said to Rio.

I put my phone in my pants and then went back to the school area.

I entered every class on the 1st floor, 2nd floor, and 3rd floor, but I still did not find Ririn.

I looked at my watch. It's nine o'clock.

Where are you Rin, my inner.

“Nak Bima? What are you doing?”

I turned my body in surprise. Turns out Mr. Reno, the school security guard.

“Pak, have you seen any female students? Her parents could not reach her from school.”

“Wah these nights of course no one else son. Yes, father was watching. But the hell he said he just took his book that missed.”

“Where is he sir?” I'm in a hurry.

Mr. Reno then pointed his index finger towards the school entrance, “New 5 minutes earlier I saw. Want Bima to see?”

I ran towards the entrance. It seems I panicked too much to see anyone I met. My only goal is one, find Ririn.

That's when in the parking lot I saw the woman.

“Hei! You are! Stop!” Saying to him.

The woman panicked and rushed into her car. But I held the car door.

“You? Seli right? Fany's friend? What are you doing at school at this hour?”

He then replied to me stuttering, “I just picked up my book that was left behind.” He said while showing the book in his hand.

I certainly don't believe it.

“Where's Ririn?” Sharpest.

“I don't know. I have nothing to do with your girlfriend.”

“I know you're the culprit. Where's Ririn?!” Say it again with a high voice.

But the woman in front of me just threw her face away. No intention of answering my question.

I then grabbed his hand.

I should have refused when Fany told me to go to school. Fany the labile. I was told to release Ririn who had been held captive in the warehouse, but suddenly when it was at school Fany instead told me to let Ririn until tomorrow morning. That heartless woman. If only my father was not his father's subordinate, of course I would

I immediately let go of my hand from Seli's. He ran towards the school warehouse.

“Rin! Ririn!”

I bang on the barn door hard. The school storeroom is quite far behind.

Maybe even Mr. Reno rarely checks this warehouse.

“Rin! You're inside? It's me Bima.” My speech. But there is no answer from within.

That's when I saw the phone near the entrance. I took it and then turned it on.

I opened the hp lock. It's Ririn's phone. It seems like Ririn is right inside this warehouse.

I ran and asked Reno for the keys to the warehouse.

“But this key is only me who has Nak Bima. Reluctant maybe someone opened the door of the warehouse besides me.” Said Mr. Reno behind me who was opening the warehouse door.

I didn't answer. I'm more focused on opening the warehouse door.

When it opened, I turned on my flash. That's when I saw Ririn lying limp on the floor.

I went straight to him, “Rin? Ririns. Wakes up. Why do you want to why?”

Ririn then opened her eyes. That was when her tears came down. She was crying hysterically.

“Huaaa, Milky. I-I was so scared. Da-from tad-i I called.”.

I hugged her right away, “It's been, you can explain later. Now we go home yes.”

Meta just nodded and tried to stand up. But it seemed like his legs were still limp to support his body.

I crouched down in front of him, telling me to go up to my back. He then climbed onto my back.

“Thank you Sir. I say goodbye first.” I said to Mr. Reno.

“Iya Nak Bima's. Hopefully his friend is okay.”

I smiled and walked towards the car park.

Just one day Ririn had been made this way by Fany. How the next days.

Suddenly I was scared. Fear of events like last year repeating itself.
