"How many times do I have to tell you to stop discussing Elora?!" Jordan looked resentfully at Julian who had been raving about Elora to their other friend.
"You why Kei, is there a problem when I talk about Elora? Steven and Adam wanted to know about Elora so I of course had to explain the woman to the brand"
"Stop talking about that woman, why do you sound so obsessed with her, we can talk about other women, not her."
Jordan and Julian stare at each other, still unwilling to budge each other, Steven and Adam who do not know what it feels silly to see the two friends start a fight just because of a prostitute.
"You're here acting weird Kei, we used to talk about women, Elora wasn't the first woman we talked about but why are you so sensitive when we talk about her?" Julian pointed at Jordan with his question, he was quite upset to see the late Jordan acting strangely, and moreover it all happened every time the name 'Elora' was called. "Don't tell me you want to have it alone?"
Seeing Jordan not answer and just silence made Julian laugh cynically, "She's Kei's bitch, her job is serving rich men, you can't have her alone, you can't have her, all men in this world can have it as long as they have a lot of money to pay."
Jordan clenches his hand, he knows what Julian is saying is true but Jordan still feels he does not accept the reality, the fact that Elora serves anyone who can give him a big payment.
Dareen who from the beginning only he saw a commotion between Jordan and Julian finally raised his voice, "You guys fight just because of a prostitute, many women out there are not just Elora. Don't raise a small problem, if Elora is the trigger for a fight between you then you better not have to deal with that woman again." Dareen looked at Jordan and Julian alternately, "I hope you don't really fall in love with that cheap lady Kei, remember, falling in love with a woman is like killing yourself."
Jordan screeched, "I'm definitely not in love with him, you know I'm not the typical person who easily feels that way."
"I hope what you say is the truth." Dareen turned her focus to Julian, "And you Julian, stop dealing with that woman named Elora, I have a bad feeling about her. I feel that her presence will only bring trouble ahead, there are many women out there, you can have fun with them just stay away from Elora."
Julian was silent and did not argue, but he was silent does not mean he received all the advice of Dareen, it does not mean Julian will obey everything Julian said.
Julian would not be able to take off something that was of interest to him, meeting Elora was like meeting a treasure. Julian has not been this excited for a long time and when everything has gone smoothly Dareen wants him to stop? It won't.
Julian wouldn't want to let go of Elora just because of such a trivial thing, after all what to worry about. This is not the first time Julian has dealt with a devious woman.
Dareen let out a heavy sigh, he could see that Jordan and Julian did not heed his words, "Give up to you guys, I was just trying to remind. Don't drag me to the trouble you're gonna cause in the future."
Dareen stood up, leaving his four companions behind.
Steven and Adam who had just watched the showdown from the beginning stood up. "I'm sorry, but I'm with Dareen in mind, I think what Dareen said has a point. It's the first time you've fought just because of a woman, this time she's making you fight an argument, in the future it could have made you kill each other."
Steven left the room that was followed by Adam, who was Elora but based on the things they had heard the woman was really dangerous.
Steven glanced at Adam who was walking beside him, "Ad, is this my only feeling or is Elora's name familiar?"
Adam shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe it's just your feeling, you heard Elora was a prostitute. Maybe you've heard his name mentioned by someone else before."
Steven hesitated a bit but eventually he nodded, it could have been like that. He may have heard the name Elora from one of his club drinking friends who may have known Elora or slept with her.

Elora clucked when again the call was not picked up by Maxime, whether this was already a call that I know but the result remains the same, Max did not answer the call.
Elora was not stupid, she clearly knew what the reason Maxime was acting this way was. Elora realizes that Maxime has special feelings for her but Elora cannot acknowledge or even accept Maxime's feelings.
Max deserves a woman better than him, a man as good as Max does not deserve a disgusting woman like her, Elora wants Max happy.
Elora will only continue to live this miserable life, there may come a time when Elora will stop, but not this time. Elora will stop when things are over, where all the criminals who ruined her life get their punishment.
Thinking about it only reminded Elora of the massalu, the mass each time he remembered her always incised a wound that was very difficult to heal.
Flashbacks.
"Adrie. Stop expecting Jordan, it's obvious he's not interested in you, don't hurt yourself with that false hope."
Elora gave a sigh, he asked his best friend, how could his best friend not support him in fighting for his love that has been almost 3 years to continue to survive in the same person.
"Why did you catch me?! I'm just telling you the truth, you know Jordan and his friends are crazy, they like bullying other students, there's even a rumor that they've been taking drugs and booze."
Elora further sharpened her gaze, she did not want to hear anything bad about Jordan, the man she liked.
"Don't talk Max shit!"
Maxime who had been sitting next to Elora was grieving, it was very difficult to realize Elora that the man in her dream was not a good person.
Elora laughed at Max's words, "Hey, not just those who smoked at 17, the majority of people I met were already smoking at that age. You're the only guy I know who doesn't smoke Max."
Max looked at Elora in disbelief, "Adrie, you should be proud to have a good friend like me, instead of mocking me like this. Smoking is detrimental."
Elora nodded her head, "Yes, I know smoking is detrimental, if I manage to become Jordan's lover then I will ask her to stop doing it for my sake and her kindness."
"You talk as if she wants to be your lover, just look at you she's never as I remember."
"Max!!"

Say Elora is shameless. This time Elora met Jordan who was gathering with her friends in the parking lot, Elora did not care to be considered a shameless woman, Elora just wanted to fight for her feelings, that's all.
"Oh.. Kei, your lover has arrived." one of Jordan's best friends, Adam Handerson. Adam spoke in a mocking tone, Adam knew for sure that Jordan hated Elora.
Jordan who saw Elora stepped closer, clucking. He was sick of seeing the woman constantly seeking his attention, approaching her continuously like a parasite.
"Jordan, do you want to go home?" Elora smiled sweetly, she looked excitedly at Jordan's cold face.
Jordan let out a heavy sigh, he turned towards Elora. "Can you just for a day not bother me, keep a good look in your mind, I'll never be interested in a pathetic woman like you."
"Follow"
"Go." Jordan raised his voice, "Go before I hit you, I don't see you're a woman, I hit anyone who pisses me off so go!"
Elora stepped back, her eyes glazed with glass due to Jordan's refusal. It's not the first time Jordan has turned it down but it still hurts, right?
Julian, who had seen the incident from the beginning, approached Jordan, whispering something into Jordan's ear without being heard by anyone other than the two of them.
After Julian whispered something, Jordan seemed to think for a moment, before he finally looked up and spoke again.
"Hey you!"
Elora who had stepped a bit away stopped, she heard Jordan's voice, she hoped that the person Jordan called was herself even though Elora should be self-conscious that it was impossible for Jordan to call her.
"Hey you, what's your name, I forgot. Hey you, who he said liked me!"
Elora felt her heart thump, she fearfully turned around, she trembled when she looked at Jordan.
"Who's your name?"
Elora felt her heart beating so fast, was this a dream? Jordan asked his name?
"My name is Elora Adriella, you can call me Adrie."
Jordan nodded his head, smiling at Elora. "Alright Adrie, tomorrow come to the roof of the school. I have something to tell you."
Elora nodded, unable to say anything else, as she had just seen Jordan smile at her. Is this hope? Elora will never forget that smile.
He'll definitely come tomorrow. Sure.
"Uhm, okay I'll go home first."
After Elora died, Julian patted Jordan's shoulder. "Good choice Kei." Julian turned his gaze towards his other friend. "We'll have a good time tomorrow, make sure you have some free time tomorrow, Jordan will cheer us up with his girlfriend."
"What do you mean to entertain?" Steven still did not understand, he was a bit suspicious looking at Julian's suspicious expression.
"Look at tomorrow, you'll be entertained and satisfied at the same time."
