"Brakkk...!!" suddenly the hotel room door opened. Gibran was surprised and immediately released the Rose that was hugging him. Andra came to surprise them both.

Andra immediately approached the Rose, her gaze sad to see the current condition of the Rose. Then he turned to look at Gibran full of emotion and with an angry look he immediately approached Gibran.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Andra screamed emotionlessly while strangling Gibran's neck.

Gibran did not flinch. He understood that his best friend was being overwhelmed with emotion and misunderstood what he was seeing.

"You misunderstood, Bang... I. ckk...why not Rose." replied Gibran a little difficult because of the grip of Andra's hand on his neck. Andra loosened her grip and looked back at the Rose.

"What did he do to you?" this time Andra's tone was more controlled.

"Emmm..." Confused roses should say what. It's hard to tell what really happened.

"Answer, Rose...!!!" andra's orders this time in a higher tone.

"Emmm... Gibran..." Confused roses must answer what. He just looked at Gibran as if asking for his help. Gibran feels accused when he is not the real suspect.

"No, Bang. I swear I know nothing...!" gibran said in self-defense.

Andra looked back at Gibran with more emotion than before. He caught Gibran's collar again and started hitting him in the face. Gibran fell down and without a fight he tried to defend.

"Sudaahhhh...!!!" The rose tried to break up Andra and Gibran. "I really like Gibran, he's not wrong...!" continue Rose. His words confused Andra.

"What?" ask Andra. Her feelings were devastated to hear her boyfriend's confession.

"I like Gibran, Andra! Even since we first met, at the cafe back then. I watched Gibran at that moment!" the Rose explained.

Gibran who was lying on the floor was also stunned at the Rose's confession. He did not understand what the Roses were really planning. Meanwhile, he also still endured the pain on his face due to Andra's blows.

"I love Gibran!" the words of the Rose this time made Andra angry. He immediately left emotionlessly leaving the hotel room, leaving Gibran silent in confusion and a sobbing Rose at this moment.

"What did you say?" gibran asked the Rose after Andra left. Gibran could already sit back on the floor hugging his legs.

"I really like you." replied the Rose.

"You know I can never like you, and you're my best friend's boyfriend. You remember that?" ask Gibran again.

"I know... I'm sorry... I was confused.." answered the Rose still with her cry.

"What happened to me? What am I being brought here for? And... What the hell happened to you?" asked Gibran who was confused so many questions that haunted his mind.

"You can go home." said the Rose without answering any of Gibran's questions.

"You're telling me to go home? All right, I'm gonna go home without knowing what's going on and like a fool, I'm gonna have to accept all this, even lose my best friends?" ask Gibran cynically. He felt like he was a victim at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Gibran. I shouldn't have done this." replied the Rose, leaving Gibran even more confused.

"What are you doing?" gibran asked again, this time louder and he with a sharp look he asked for an explanation from the Rose.

"I planned all this." replied the Rose softly, still crying.

"Tell me now...!" gibran's Order to the Rose.

"I promise I will tell you, but you must promise to fulfill my one wish." asked the Rose to Gibran seriously.

"Tell me first, I'll consider it" Gibran replied quickly. He could not wait to hear the Rose's explanation.

The rose took a deep breath and then started to tell stories.

"I went to see Roni and asked her to help me plan something. A trap that killed me." The rose began to tell. His gaze was sad, his heart was clearly injured. "I asked him to help me kidnap you, because I really wanted you. I was planning on using a photographic evidence that you'd been fucking me so you wouldn't be able to turn me down, Gibran. I know you're a nice, innocent man so I wouldn't be able to turn me down if I forced it that way" Mawar explained.

"Yes... He was even very excited to see Andra disappointed to be betrayed by his best friend" replied Rose smiling cynically. "But he was more cunning than I thought." Roses continued.

Gibran was surprised and hoped his guess was wrong.

"He fucked me." said Roses. Her eyes were back in tears and she could not hold back the tears that were now running down her cheeks. "He left before you woke up." continued Rose could barely continue her words.

Gibran did not know what to do. He realized his position was going wrong.

"I don't know what to do" Gibran said in response.

"I only ask for one thing I hope you can fulfill, Gibran" said Mawar solemnly.

"What?" ask Gibran briefly.

"Never tell this to anyone including Andra. You can say we never do anything in this room, because that is the reality. I didn't say you fucked me, I just said you liked me. So, he doesn't need to know." ask Roses.

"Why don't you just report that Roni? After all, me and Andra will eventually be harmed, we will still not be able to be friends anymore" replied Gibran.

"I won't be able to fight it, Gibran. I'm here alone, my parents sent me off to college because they wanted the best for me, while I let them down with what I originally planned. I'm really sorry to have planned all this" Rose said in tears.

Gibran was furious. He could do nothing when the girl in front of him was hurt. He also could not explain what really happened to Andra because of the Rose's request.

"I don't want my parents to be ashamed, Gibran. You can explain it to Andra as I said before." ask Roses this time begging again in earnest.

"You think Andra can accept such an explanation?" asked Gibran, smiling. He knew full well Andra would not believe it.

"I beg you, Gibran..." Roses are crying again. Gibran did not know what to do. It is possible that in the end he decided to fulfill the desire of the Rose.

2 months passed...

Since the incident 2 months ago, Gibran and Andra never again greet each other. Although Gibran had explained many times to Andra, but he still could not accept Gibran's explanation. The two of them end up far apart, and Gibran decides to quit his school basketball team.

Gibran never heard of the rose again. He was also worried about the condition of the rose. Gibran can only hope that everything is okay.

That day Andra came to meet Gibran to his class.

"How are you and the rose?" andra suddenly approached Gibran.

"I have nothing to do with the rose!" gibran replied firmly.

"Haha...! She's pregnant and you're saying there's no connection?" andra asked again to surprise Gibran.

"What's? How do you know that?" ask Gibran.

"Haha... News like that at his boarding house would of course be a warm talk!" andra answered with a laugh. "She's 2 months pregnant. And it must have been because of you at that time. Congratulations!!!" andra continued with a snide.

Gibran was silent. He wanted to tell the truth, but he remembered his promise to the Rose.

The next day, Gibran skipped school and went to the Rose campus. He did not find any roses on his campus. Finally he asked someone who turned out to be friends with the Rose. Rose's friend told Gibran the Rose's boarding address.

Arriving at the Rose boarding house, he also did not find any Roses there. His host said that Roses did not live there anymore because 3 days ago he returned to his hometown. The rose had stopped from college.

Gibran can only pray that the Rose and the baby in the womb are okay. He also hopes his family can accept his situation.

Meanwhile, his friendship with Andra could not be repaired. Although Gibran had tried to explain, Andra still did not want to listen. He thought everything that happened to the Rose was Gibran's fault. According to Andra, Gibran was responsible for the destruction of the Rose.

Gibran never told Andra the truth, even though the Roses were gone, but he felt he could not break his promise. After all, if Andra knew the truth, she could not imagine what happened to Roni, it was possible that Andra would do the worst to him. Eventually Gibran decided to keep it to himself. He lets go and hopes that one day Andra will forget everything and return to be friends with him. Gibran has done everything he can.
