Where's Ririn?” I asked Rio, Meta, and Alin who were standing in front of me.

“Ririn wait outside.” Rio.

I nodded my head.

“Already? That all? No desire to meet or what?” Ask Rio

I just shook my head. I promised to keep my distance from Ririn.

All for his own good.

“Check Bim. We all know you still like each other. What's wrong with you saying to the whole school, so Fany knows you're breaking up. But in the back, you are still dating.” Rio's speech is frustrating.

Alin, Meta, and Bagas nodded in agreement with Rio's words.

“Already. This is our business. I appreciate whatever Ririn's decision is. I'll wait for him. Already yes, I want to go straight home.” I said to them.

Just a few steps I turned back, “Ah Yes. Thanks for your congratulations.”

I walked away from them and walked out of the stadium, towards the car park.

That was when I saw Ririn and Nadin talking.

I looked at them in wonder. Since when are they in the stage to talk to each other like this.

I then walked up to them. But Nadin even referred me.

I frowned, but did not stop my steps.

That's when I saw the shock on Ririn's face.

I almost got to where Ririn and Nadin were standing. However, Ririn instantly averted her eyes and ran over.

I was about to chase after him, but my hand was held back by Nadin.

“Bim, someone wants me to talk to you.” Her speech.

I was still following Ririn who was running, I was weighing. Should I pursue it or not.

But I decided not to pursue him.

I let go of Nadin's handle, “Sorry Nad. I want to go home. Next time we'll tell.”

Nadin shook his head.

“I want to talk about it now.”

Nadin then pulled my hand back.

“Are you still unconscious?” Ask Nadin.

“What?” Ask wonder.

“Can you read my mind?”

I instantly realized. Right, Nadin is holding my arm. Why can't I hear his thoughts.

“I'll explain. We go to the cafe near this stadium only.” Nadin.

I nodded and walked to my car, followed by Nadin.

Unbeknownst to me, a pair of eyes looked at me and Nadin with a sad look.

***

We both entered the cafe which was not too quiet. We decided to sit outside. I avoided having our conversations heard by others.

“Since when did you know?” I asked Nadin when he was sitting in front of him.

“Since the beginning.” Said calmly.

“But why don't you talk to me instead.” I wonder.

“At that time I was still guessing your ability. I've been curious about you for a long time, and I like you. I realized then that you don't like to be touched. Even during the courtship as much as possible you didn't hold my hand. Even though at that time we only dated 2 months.”

I nodded my head. That's right what Nadin said.

Because I think listening to people's thoughts is too intrusive for privacy. So that as much as possible I do not hold it.

If only I had known for a long time, I could have grasped it, hugged it.

I immediately put away those thoughts.

Let it be what it used to be.

“Lantas who wants to stick to you is, I want to come back to you. I don't care about Fany, or anyone. I just want to get back to you.” Said Nadin disperse my reverie.

I looked at him and sighed, “I'm sorry, Nad. That was a year ago. Right now my heart is no longer for you.” My speech.

“Why you?” Asking me worried.

Nadin shook his head, “It's okay. I didn't expect that woman to distract you so quickly.”

I looked at him confused.

“You know why I disappeared?” Ask.

I shook my head.

Nadin then told me what he was going through. Fany's crimes that I don't even know make no sense. .

Nadin also told me about seeing a psychiatrist because of all the bullying and pressure from Fany.

Fany is crazy. I think Fany should have seen a psychiatrist.

“How can you hold it?” Tanyaku.

I was still shocked to hear Nadin's story.

Nadin chuckles, “I can't help it. That's why I went.”

Nadin breathes out loud, “But I didn't expect you'd change hearts so quickly.”

I'm not spilling his shit.

Lants Fany continued, “Over these past 3 months, I have often felt dizzy. My chest hurts so much. I asked Raka. Said Raka you already have a new woman.”

Nadin then chuckles while continuing his talk, “You're good looking for a new girlfriend, while I feel tormented.”

“What do you mean?” I'm confused.

“I'm your partner. The couple that was outlined for you.” Her speech.

I looked at him confused.

“Cannot be. I know who my partner is. Moreover, when you are close to others, I do not feel pain.” My speech.

Nadin nodded, “Of course you feel no pain. Because the only person I like is you.”

“But I already know who my partner is.” I said to Nadin.

“Who? That girl? Ririn?”

I nodded my head.

“That girl is not your partner. Her partner died of leukemia 5 years ago. Even he has not had time to meet his partner.”

I shook my head in disbelief.

Not likely. None of this is possible.

“So, why do I feel all the signs stating that he is my partner?”

Nadin nods his shoulders, “I don't know. To be sure you and I are a predestined couple.”

“Where do you know?”

“Dreams. I'm having a dream. Have you heard of it?”

“No.”

“I dream about you. Then that's what proves that you're my partner.”

“But I never dreamed of you.”

“Maybe not. Or maybe you have, but you don't realize it. In the past you didn't even know that I was the owner of power.”

That's when the waiter delivered our order.

I eat my food, but my mind drifts somewhere.

Without realizing it, the food in front of me was over.

“Then, can you take me back?” Said Nadin disperse my reverie.

“Hah?”

Nadin smiled, “I asked you. Can we go back to dating like we used to.”

I shook my head, “I don't know. I-I already like others.”

Nadin shook his head, “Sure you can't be like that. You know what's gonna happen to me. You can only be with me, and I can only be with you.”

“How about Fany?”

Nadin smiled, “Fany will not bother us anymore. You'll see tomorrow. Raka has taken care of everything.”

I frowned.

“Cannot. I can't.” Saying to him.

Nadin sighed and got up from his seat, “You don't have to answer me now. Because in the end you inevitably have to come back to me.” Said Nadin with a slightly tinge.

Nadin then walked leaving me who was still fixated, confused.

How'this? Ririn's? Is it true that no matter how long I wait for Ririn, Ririn and I won't be together?
