“Bim, why are you?” ask Bagas to me.
I turned my head, “That's why? What's the matter?”
Bagas holds my knee, “Can't you stop wiggling your leg? I'm afraid to see it?”
“Ah, sorry.”
“What's up?” Ask again.
Suddenly Rio's voice came from the front of the class, “Good morning eveybody! Hurry up, you guys came today? Still 10 minutes from bell.”
Bagas and I didn't talk about it.
Rio frowned while putting his bag on the table, “What the hell is it? Seriously once?” tanyakanya.
I sighed, “Today I met Nadin.”
“Nadin?!” Said Rio and Bagas together.
Reaching out a few eyes, especially Dimas, looked towards us.
I stick my index finger in front of my mouth, “Sst, don't be noisy.”
Rio and Bagas just nodded their heads.
“So where did you meet Nadin?” Ask Rio.
“Di Res Plaza.”
“Not said Raka, Nadin is abroad?” Tanya Bagas.
I shook my head not knowing.
“Then? Why are you panicking so early in the morning? Because you're dating Ririn?” ask Rio.
I nodded my head.
“Aren't you pretending? You just cut ties with Ririn.”
Bagas then hit Rio's head.
“Apply?!” Rio said angrily.
“You're a bolot or what the hell? Obviously Bima really likes Ririn.” Say Bagas.
“I know that. But this is Nadin. The woman who screwed you up when she suddenly disappeared.” Rio.
I sighed loudly, “I was confused once. One side I love with Ririn. But when I saw Nadin, I suddenly realized, that I have not completely forgotten him.”
Bagas patted my shoulder, “You can't be so wishy-washy. You're with Ririn right now. Then you don't think of any other woman. Stop arguing like a man ********.”
I took a hard breath. That's right what Bagas said. I can't hurt Ririn.
Moreover, Ririn is my partner.
“Important, Ririn and Nadin have not met in person. You calm down first, and then you explain slowly to Ririn.”
I raised my face that had been bowed.
“Well that's it, trouble over trouble. I met Nadin even while I was with Ririn.” My words limp.
Rio and Bagas just looked at me with pity.
What I should do.
***
I spooned the fried rice into my mouth while occasionally stealing glances at Ririn.
It's resting hours now. Me, Rio, and Bagas decided to eat one table with Ririn, Alin, and Meta. Rio said this is a ready tax.
“You should come to our game next week.” Bagas opened the conversation.
“Of course we'll come. Isn't that right, Rin?” alin told Ririn.
Ririn nodded.
“You just go with Rio later. Rio also there.” Say Bagas.
“Tandingnya where?” Ask Ririn.
“Because this tournament is quite large, so it is done in West Stadium.” My answer.
“Hah, I'm starting to get tense when I remember next week's game.” Say Bagas.
“Tight what. You are wood. Flat.” Chirps Alin.
We laughed at Alin.
“Hah, this is why I'm lazy to admit you're my sister. My degree went straight down.” Say Bagas.
Alin just shrugged his shoulders.
Rio and I already know that Alin is Bagas' sister. It seems like Ririn and Meta also know, seeing how relaxed Alin mocked Bagas.
“Hai, can join.”
The six of us turned to the direction of the voice. Raka and Dimas stood by our table, holding a plate in their right hand.
“Ah, of course kak.” Ririn.
Raka then sat on the far right-hand side of me-and Raka next to Ririn.
“I didn't know you guys were close.” Raka.
I decided not to pay too much attention to it.
That's when my eyes saw Fany enter the canteen.
“That's Fany, he said put into mental hospital.”
“I heard her parents prefer work over her.”
“Even he threatened to kill himself, terrible once.”
I frowned at the whispers I heard.
What other gossip is this? Thought.
Fany directly kicked one of the canteen benches, “What?! If you say that up ahead here. Don't whisper. You are! Here!” He said to one of the students who talked about it earlier.
“Sa-I sister?” Ask the girl.
The student walked quickly to Fany.
Fany then put his hand on the ear, “Try, you say again. What did you tell your friend earlier?”
The student immediately rushed, “Eng-engga no brother. I have nothing to say.”
Fany immediately looked at him sharply, “Say now!”
The student replied stammeredly, “S-I heard you-if you have a desire to kill yourself.”
“Where did you hear?”
“Students have talked about it a lot.”
Fany immediately averted her eyes, then glanced at our table.
He walked straight to the table we were sitting at.
“You did it?” Ask Ririn when she stands in front of our table.
I frowned. Whatdoes thatmean?
“Not brother. I swear, I have nothing to say.” Said Ririn sitting in front of me.
Suddenly Fany lifted the bowl that still contained meatball sauce from the table next to me. He then poured the contents of the bowl over Ririn's head.
I immediately parried Fany's hand.
“You anything at all, Fan?” Just pissed.
“First Nadin. Now Ririn. Is there no chance for you to like me?” Ask Fany in a sad tone.
“If you're like this how can I like you. Your job is just bullying people. You've changed too much Fany.” Saying to him.
I then turned my gaze to Ririn, “You're okay?” I said while cleaning up the rest of the meatball sauce in his head.
But Ririn brushed my hand away, then got up and left the table.
Alin and Meta who saw it immediately chased after him.

I scanned the streets while occasionally looking at Ririn who was sitting on the passenger bench, next to me.
Along the way there was no conversation between us.
“Rin, are you mad at me?” I was careful trying to melt the mood.
“Engga.” Answer's short.
Waduh, it's hard if women have answered like this.
“I'm sorry huh? You don't have to dong. I was wrong, I should have blocked Fany earlier.”
“It wasn't your fault. You don't need to apologize.” Jutek.
“Then don't whine dong. Sorry if I was wrong.”
“I don't why-why. If you are then I'm even carrying it for!” The answer was half screaming.
I immediately fell silent.
Ririn seemed to know my surprise. He immediately apologized.
“Ah, sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you.”
“Engga anything.” I answered with a convincing smile.
Hah, it's like something Ririn's hiding, but I don't know what it is.
If only I could use my abilities.
“Still yes.” He said when he got in front of his house.
I'm nodding.
However, Ririn's movements stopped when she opened the door.
“Bim, someone wants to say.”
I nodded, “Tell me.”
“I want us to break up.” Ririn.
It felt like there was lightning striking. I immediately clasped his hand.
“Why? Why break up? Cannot. You also know that we're a predestined couple.” My answer is not to accept.
He nodded, “Yes, I know. But even if we have been outlined, want to go as far as we will definitely be together again. For now I can't. I'm tired of all this.”
I saw tears fall from his eyes. Seeing that I feel like the most depraved man. Is it because of me? Because I am Ririn crying and getting hurt like this?
I gently wiped her tears, but Ririn instead grimaced in pain as my hand touched her cheek.
“Why?” Ask wonder.
“Papa. Already, that's all I want to say. I hope you want to think about it.” He tried to get out of the car quickly.
But Ririn lost quickly. I've already pulled his hand.
“Tell me, your cheek why?” Ask sharp.
He just threw his face away.
“Fany? Did Fany do it?”
Ririn nodded her head.
“When?” I ask impatiently.
“Tadi morning.”
I sighed, “But you even want us to break up? Who will protect you if this happens again?”
“But you are the one who made me experience this.” Speak quickly.
I was silent at Ririn's reply.
Yes, I was the one who made her tormented and had to feel all this.
I can't break up, I can't. It won't. I love Ririn.
But by continuing to hold it, it was Ririn who was getting injured.
I should be able to make this decision.
“Good. We broke. I won't be close to you anymore. I'll warn Fany, too. But one thing you should know, Rin. My love and affection for you will disappear. I will wait for you until you are ready and dare to return to start this relationship again.” Saying to him.
Ririn simply nodded while wiping her tears, then got out of the car.
Seeing him go my heart was getting empty. Even this hurts more than losing Nadin just yet.
To be continued..
