Flashback 4 years ago...

This afternoon Gibran is preparing to leave for basketball practice at school. Andra, the captain of the men's basketball team as well as her upperclassmen and best friend are waiting on the school basketball court.

Arriving at school...

"We're sparing?" ask Gibran to Andra.

"So, they say 4" answered Andra looking at her watch which showed 15:45.

"You sure, Bang, you want to share with Roni and friends? Aren't you the same as Roni's arch-enemy?" ask Gibran again while sitting on the edge of the court while putting on his basketball shoes.

Andra smiled at Gibran's question. "He is the loud. Yep... Let's show you who will win." replied Andra confidently and confidently.

Gibran smiled at Andra's reply. For him actually following the extracurricular basketball is to channel hobbies, exercise and make as many friends as possible. It never crossed his mind to look for enemies or brag about his skills. Gibran is famous for playing the orange round.

Andra was famous at her school. She and Gibran were female idols at the school. They are equally handsome and have a nice body and height. But Andra was more prominent and powerful in her school, while Gibran was mediocre. Andra is more likely to create a ruckus and have many enemies, while Gibran is more calm and uninterested in being hostile to others.

"Sorry to be waiting." said Dedi, Roni's partner who is also the captain of the basketball team at Roni school. Dedi arrives in front of Andra and Gibran while Roni follows walking in behind and immediately takes his place on his team bench without greeting Andra or Gibran.

"No problem." answered Andra then smiled coldly while looking at Roni. Roni looked back at Andra with no less coldness.

Andra and Roni are always at odds when they meet. The reason they are hostile is actually trivial, at that time Andra approached the scene Roni, even though Andra did not know that Roni was close to the woman. Finally Andra made up with Roni's scourge, but did not last long they broke up.

Andra averted her eyes from Roni realizing the arrival of someone she now loved dearly. The girl was called Rose. She's a year older than Andra. The rose just went to college a few months ago. They met at a cafe and Andra was immediately interested in asking for the phone number of Roses. From there Andra approaches and eventually dates the Rose.

"People's spirit." said the Rose who was now in front of Andra. Andra touched and kissed the Rose's hand.

"Thank you dear." replied Andra smiling.

Rose watching her lover compete. Although it was only a friendly match, the two teams did not seem willing to budge on each other. The game went a bit hard, especially when the ball was in the hands of Andra and Roni. They seemed to bring a gripping atmosphere in the match this time.

The game was finally over and Andra's team, Gibran and co won the game with a very thin scoreline. Andra laughed with satisfaction while Roni with an annoyed face he felt unacceptable with the results of this match.

"I told you we'd win...!" yell Andra to Gibran. Gibran just shook his head to see the behavior of his best friend.

"It's been... ." replied Gibran, lowering his best friend's hand, pointing up with joy. He invites Andra to shake hands with his opponent.

They also shake hands with each other, of course except Andra and Roni.

Gibran changed his wet clothes and prepared to go home. Andra was also preparing to go home. They both walked together. The rose approached the two of them and followed up to the motor park.

"You were so cool, baby...!" the Rose hugged Andra's arm. Andra dyed the top of the Rose's head.

Gibran chuckled at Andra and the Rose. Gibran does not currently have a girlfriend alias single.

"You guys if you want to be friendly don't be here, casual eyes are so sick." led Gibran to Andra and Rose.

Andra laughed while Rose smiled towards Gibran.

"Ndra, you're looking for Dedi. Someone wants to be talked about" David, Andra and Gibran's basketball teammate, said.

"What's up?" ask Gibran curiously.

"Regular... At most the chatter of his fellow captains." replied Andra flashing his boasting smile. "You please take care of my girlfriend for a moment, yes, don't let go." Andra ordered Gibran while joking.

"You don't stay long, Bang. I want to go home, Maghrib soon." Gibran replied seriously.

"Yes... Da... Son of sholeh.." Andra led to Gibran. "You don't be naughty, I'll stay for a while" Andra told Rose and she patted her boyfriend's head.

Gibran was sitting on his bike. The rose sits on the terrace in front of the parking lot. He's dealing with Gibran.

"You don't have a boyfriend yet?" ask the Rose suddenly to Gibran.

"Not yet, Brother." replied Gibran.

"Don't call Sis, dong." said the Rose with a small laugh at Gibran's call for her.

"It's not good because, Sister Rose is 2 years older than me. I also call Brother Andra Brother after all" Gibran explained.

"Haha... You're funny, Gibran." said the Rose suddenly made Gibran a bit surprised.

"Funny?" ask Gibran.

"You know what, I actually like you better than Andra. Unfortunately you are hard to get close to" replied the Rose to make Gibran now very surprised.

"What's? You shouldn't have said that...!" sahut Gibran was a little angry to hear the confession of the Rose.

The rose only smiled seeing Gibran's reaction. He knew very well Gibran would be angry and he never liked the Rose in the least.

Unexpectedly, Roses are like giving a code to someone and... "Bukkk...!" the sound of someone's punch to Gibran made Gibran fall from his motorbike and immediately unconscious because someone else attached a handkerchief that had been smeared to him. Gibran was unconscious.

Gibran was taken to a hotel room by the two men. Gibran was still unconscious and did not know what had happened to him. He was lying in a hotel room bed with Roses, Roni, and 2 other friends of Roni.

"Where's Andra?" ask Roses to Roni who is sitting on the sofa of the hotel room next to the Roses.

"Calm down, Dedi's already diverting it. He doesn't know we're here" Roni smiled. "So you want him?" roni pointed towards Gibran who was lying unconscious.

"Yes... I will make him unable to refuse me anymore." replied Rose certain. "We have a deal, right?" ask the Rose to continue.

"You want the photos as if you've been in contact with Gibran so that Gibran can't refuse you for assuming you've done it?" ask Roni again. "You are cunning, dear." ledek Roni while laughing cunningly saw the Rose who frowned at Roni's words.

"You don't lose cunningly. You will benefit, though. You'll see how hurt Andra is from being betrayed by her best friend. That's worth it, right?" ask Rose is no less cunning.

"Haha... I like you, Rose. You are more cunning than I thought." replied Roni laughing.

"I called you because I knew you would agree to help me" Rose said.

"Who said I agreed?" roni asked this time to make the Rose a little confused. "You don't know I'm more cunning and meaner than you know." Roni continued, holding a certain meaning in his words.

Rose was very surprised to hear Roni's words and she tried to hide her anxiety.

Roni started to get closer to the Rose. Rose doesn't know that Roni didn't really mean to help her.

"Andra will know that you and Gibran have betrayed him, but it's even more interesting that I did it to you. Take it easy, Andra will never know, baby. He'll think Gibran did it later." Roni's words made the Roses shudder. He just realized he was putting himself into a very dangerous trap from Roni.

The rose immediately rose from the sofa on which it sat. But before he stood up, Roni had already reached up and hugged his body.

A few moments after that incident...

Gibran finally woke up. He woke up and sat down. He found himself in a bed that he knew where he was now. In front of him he saw a woman crying bitterly, she was a Rose.

Gibran was surprised to see the Rose in shock. The rose that was wearing a white shirt and long jeans looked very messy. There was a clear tear visible on his shirt. On his face was also a slight wound, it seemed like someone had already hit him.

Gibran moved slowly and immediately approached the Rose. He was confused about everything that had happened.

"Roses..." Gibran called for the Rose and he could not bear to see the tormented face of the Rose.

The rose immediately hugged Gibran and cried out loud.
