Campus Canteen, 13.46 WIB.
Aretha ate her fried rice voraciously. This morning he had not had time to eat breakfast, because he woke up late. Sara who was sick also did not wake him as usual. As a result, his favorite margarine oles bread that is always prepared by Mother as her breakfast, was forced to pass by her.
" Hey, girls can't eat in a hurry... Ntar sprain you know ! "
Tegur Zoya who just came and sat next to him. Aretha seemed to ignore Zoya's arrival. Still busy with his fried rice.
" Pesent from when it was, have you been able to eat so immediately ? "
" So the lecture hours less than 15 minutes, I had chat mba Sri, once the lecture broke up, my nasgorku was mature... "
Sahut Aretha while wiping her mouth after finishing finishing her fried rice.
" Look at that... You are already a student, are you still eating pantes on the straws so ? That white shirt.... "
Aretha looked down, and sure enough. What Zoya said was true. Some of his fried rice grains did fall on the collar of his front shirt and in his light blue jeans..
" Oh yeah, I've seen some days you always come alone. Sara's still sick ? "
" Yet... Want nengokin ? "
" No, not deket... Why ! "
" Yes deketinlah.... "
" No ah ! Afraid ! "
" Fear why ? "
" Fear of liking her ! Hehe... I guess you did ! "
" You don't know anything, don't like talking ! "
" Look at what you are ! "
Aretha fell silent. Think about what Zoya said.
" I'm your friend from SD, Re... I understand how much Sara got to you. Sara's not normal, Re ! You should keep your distance from him. "
" He's normal, there's nothing strange about him. You don't know him ! "
" Ishhh... You don't always close your eyes to what Sara did. Sara turned you into a gini... "
" Sara is. she, mmm. ah, that's it ! Why do I tell you, you won't understand. "
" All you have to do. arrange you. You want to tell me what not. But I need to ingetin you yes, say ! Stay away from Sara, so be yourself. "
" Okey..thanks for your attention. "
" Re, Hilman said he wanted to shoot you today... "
" Hilman who ? "
" O God, Re... Hilman Law's son, he is one of the idols of this campus. "
" Not knowing ! Tell him not to bother shooting me all. I don't need a boyfriend. Men are a lot of guys ! "
" Cause of Sara ? "
" What the hell, always turn on Sara ! "
" Inget Ditto ? "
" Don't talk about this, Zoy ! There is no evidence to blame Sara for what happened to Ditto. "
" Are you sure ? You know what Sara's wrong, Re. "
Aretha. The view is far ahead. Blank.
" And Re.. I'm really confused, what the hell happened between you and Sara ? Why are you so close, when you're not a sodara bladders ? "
" Ah, I'm sleepy ! Tell Professor Siska, I'm sick. "
Aretha got up from her stool and left Zoya without any answer. Zoya let out a long breath. Staring at Aretha's back, which was disappearing from his sight.
Danu Sutedjo residence, 19.00 WIB.
" Sara, this is taking your medicine. "
Aretha offered a few pills and a glass of water. Sara took. Without waiting for a long time, immediately take the drug given by Aretha.
" Okay, time to bedrest again. "
Aretha said as she tidied up the blanket for Sara.
" Re, today is the same meeting with Hilman ? "
Ask Sara. Aretha turned towards him, and smiled.
" Hilman ? Who ? "
Sahut Aretha while frowning his forehead. Pretending, lying.
" Oh, no, no.... It's nobody. "
" What if I were to be with Hilman ? He's an idol at my college. All girls like him, so a... "
" But you said you don't know ! "
" I don't need to know him, if he likes me, I can get to know him through dating. He has achievements in his faculty as well. Her... "
" No ! No !!! He is not good for you ! "
" Not good for me ? How do you know ? You don't know him... What's... You know him ? "
" He's a playboy, Re ! There are many girls ! "
" But what I've heard, she's never been together. How do you know he's a playboy ? "
" I-i... L'm... "
" Have you always watched over me and the people around me ? "
" No, not like that, Re ! I-i'm... "
This time Aretha looked angry. Sara held his hand. Hope Aretha stays in place to listen to her explanation.
" Sara, I asked you. Answer honestly ! Have you been watching me and the people around me all this time ? "
Sara mute. The look in Aretha's eyes made her go awry.
" Answer me, Sara !!! "
Aretha half-shouted and stomped Sara's hand. Sara hugged Aretha.
" No, Sara !!! "
" Don't believe it, Re... Please... "
" You made me believe it ! "
" No, no, Re... "
Sara kept trying to hug Aretha to calm her down. But Aretha was getting angry.
" I also want to date, I also want to go with guys, I want to go with my friends ! I want to be free too, Sara ! "
" You mean ? You want to leave me ? You want to keep away from me ? "
Sara looks weakened. His attempt to embrace Aretha was unsuccessful, but it was Areth's words that made him even more helpless.
" You're thinking too far ! I want to be free does not mean I leave you, but I also want to have a normal life like other people, I ping... "
" You mean, your life isn't normal now ? "
" Sara, I know I'm selfish. I'm the one who made all this into a gini, I'm the one who made you just mine because I was lonely before. I am wrong, I am the one who benefits you. I am the bi... "
" I don't have a problem, Re. I love everything you do for me. I don't regret what happened until when. I love you more than I love myself. I'm grateful for all this. I just want us to feel like we love and have each other. No one else, no one else. There's nothing... "
" Nothing including Ditto ? "
" The re ! Why are you discussing Ditto's problem again ? We don't know if he's alive. Ditto does not pantes for you ! "
" So answer me now... Are you the one who wanted Ditto dead ?? Are you the one who stabbed him ??? You're the one who wanted to kill him ??? "
" Re, why did you say that ? "
" When I came to see Ditto, she passed out. Blood flowed continuously from his waist. And I found something that I know so well who it is. That folding knife is yours, Sara ! The folding knife we bought together when we wanted to climb the mountain. The knife is yours !!! "
Aretha pressed Sara's shoulder with all her might. Sara endured the pain. But there was a smile on the corner of her tiny lips.
" So from the beginning you knew all that ? Why didn't you say anything at the time ? Why did you say you didn't know ? Why didn't you give the knife as evidence ? Doesn't that mean, you love me too, Re ? "
" You are crazy, Sara !!! YOU ARE CRAZY !!! "
Aretha pushed Sara's body. Sara fell down, sitting on the floor.
" Yes, I'm crazy !!! I am crazy !!! Because I always thought, you're just mine !!! I don't like you being close to Ditto ! I don't like competing toys with Oren, Bunny, and Sweetie !! I don't want them to take you away from me ! "
Aretha's eyes were wide.
" What ??? Oren, Bunny, and Sweetie ?... Ye... Ye... "
Aretha could hardly believe her own hearing. Sara wakes up from the fall. Smilingly.
" You're all mine, Re !!! "
Aretha stepped away from Sara. Opting out of the room. And right at the door of the room, stood Mother who looked at him sadly.
" r... "
Said Mother lirih. In the eyes of Mother, Aretha really looked very struck. Mother holding Aretha's wrist.
" Re, there's Mommy here... "
" Bun, Rere needs his own time... Excuse me. "
And tonight, Aretha chose to leave the house and quit college. Trying to get away from Sara. Although ultimately in vain.
