I entered the canteen with Rio and Bagas. That's when my eyes saw Meta and Alin sitting on one of the canteen benches.

“Bas, pesenin yes. I sat down first. Whatever you buy, same with your order.” I said to Bagas.

I walked over to Meta and Alin.

“Hai Meta, Alin.” Sapaku on 2 women sitting at one of the canteen tables.

Tumben once they are not Ririn. Thought.

“You two alone? The three of us can sit here?” I asked them both.

They both nodded their heads at my question just now.

“Bby kok sak. Sit aja.” Alin told me.

“How was your test? Smoothly?” Bagas asked the two of them while sitting next to me.

“Thank God you are good, brother.” Answer Meta.

I spooned the food Bagas was carrying while weighing inside my head.

I wonder where Ririn is. I haven't seen him in almost a month.

Does he still sit in class often during break hours? There is no Fany at the moment. What's he afraid of?

“Emm, by the way, Ririn how are you?” I ask while I pick up my food.

I try to look not too concerned. But it seems like the 4 people in front of me know what I'm doing.

“Good news, brother.” Answer Meta.

“It's been a few weeks I haven't seen Ririn. Where is he?” Ask again.

Meta and Alin looked at each other. Rio and Bagas who are sitting next to me are also a little restless.

“Already, Bim. You just think about Nadin.” Rio said a little tart to me.

I looked at Rio in wonder, “I just asked him how he was doing. I haven't seen it in a long time, it's just that.”

“Ririn.. have moved school kak.” Answer Alin.

Sontak Meta, Rio, and Bagas glared at Alin.

I'm surprised to hear that, “Move school? Where?”

“Out of town, coincidentally Ririn's father was mutated to another area.”

“When?”

“About 2 weeks ago.”

I put down my spoon and looked at him blankly.

I didn't even have time to say goodbye to Ririn. Or I can't even apologize to him.

I said I would wait for him, but I also left him.

I immediately pulled out my phone and typed Ririn's name on the contact.

But suddenly Bagas snatched my phone.

“What the hell, Bas? Restore.” I said while extending my hand.

“For what?” Ask Bagas.

“I just want to say goodbye to him.” My speech.

“No need, Bim.”

I'm a little emotional looking at Bagas's behavior, “What's the deal with you? It's up to me to contact him or not.”

Bagas then put my phone in front of me hard, “OK, it's up to you. Call Ririn and make her even more hurt.”

“What do you mean?”

“You don't realize you're being too wishy-washy? You were with Nadin for a while, you were with Ririn. Who do you really want to be with?” Ask for emotions.

I lants took my phone and got up from my seat. I decided to leave the four of them behind and not speak to Bagas.

I am also frustrated with this situation. I don't want this power at all and fuck the fate couple or whatever.

“Aaan anyway? I've spelled out again males golve.” Say Bagas when he opens the door for me.

“Rio has arrived?” Ask her.

“Udah.” Answer Bagas.

I entered Bagas' room and saw Rio already sitting in front of the TV and playing PS.

“Bas, still pissed?” I asked Bagas.

“I'm not upset with you, Bim. I'm upset about your behavior. I've told you many times, don't be a jerk.” Said Bagas annoyed.

I sighed loudly, “I. would like to be with Ririn.” I stared blankly at the TV in front of me.

“I miss him so much.” Saying again.

Rio stopped his activities playing PS, “Then you should leave Nadin and be with Ririn. What makes you like this, Bim?”

I decided to hold Rio's hand and try to read his mind.

Basic labile.

“Basic labil.” I said repeating Rio's thoughts. Rio was surprised to hear my words.

I then switched to holding Bagas' hand.

What the hell? It's not clear this is a child.

“Aaan anyway? Not so obvious this is son.”

Bagas then pulled his hand that I held, “You.

“Yes, I can read your minds.” I said to both of them.

Rio shook his head, “No way, try again?” Rio.

I held Rio's hand back.

Thought nothing. Thought nothing.

I laughed at Rio's thoughts. Looks like this one friend is trying to manipulate his mind.

“Engga thinks of nothing. How's it? Believe now?” I said when I saw Rio's surprised face.

Rio and Bagas looked at me in disbelief.

“There's something I want to tell you.”

Rio and Bagas nodded and focused their attention on me.

I also told him everything. At first Ririn and I could pretend to be dating, about my strength, Ririn, and Fany. Also about the fate line between me and Nadin.

“So Nadin and Ririn also have powers like you?” Rio asked after I finished explaining.

I nodded my head.

“You think your destiny is Ririn, it turns out your destiny partner is Nadin?” Ask Bagas.

I sighed, “Iya. I explained everything just now. What explanation do I need to repeat?”

Bagas shook his head, “No need. I'm just making sure. I'm still too surprised by your explanation.”

“So that's why you can't be with Ririn.” Rio spoke more to himself.

“There's something I want to ask you, Bim. What happens if you reject your destiny partner. If you stick with Ririn.” Ask Bagas.

“Entahlah. All I know is for sure, Nadin will be very tormented. I.. do not have the heart to make it tormented.” My speech.

Bagas and Rio nodded their heads both. Instantly there was a sense of sadness they felt when they saw me.

“I'm not goofy, Bas. It's just, I can't leave Nadin.” I said to Bagas.

“I'm sorry to judge you as I please. I don't even know the suffering you're going through. I'm sorry.” Said Bagas regretting his actions.

I patted him on the shoulder, “No problem.”

“Then what will you do now?” Ask Rio.

I laid my body on Bagas' bed, “Maybe it will be the same as when Nadin left me. I will try to forget about Ririn and be with Nadin. I hope Ririn can forget about me later.”

Without me noticing a tear coming down from my eyelid. Even just saying for Ririn to forget me was already painful enough.

Rio and Bagas just looked at me without trying to ask further.

I haven't seen him in weeks, I miss him.

Can I go through the days ahead without thinking about Ririn?
