Gibran was sitting on the back porch. He was thinking of something that troubled his heart. She also remembers her relationship with Lodya. For three days he did not reply to messages or answer calls from Lodya.

About his relationship with Lodya, he felt that he had enough and had to end it immediately, even though there was no problem and there was nothing wrong with his girlfriend. Suddenly Gibran's phone shook and again the umpteenth time message from Lodya.

Lody:

'I'm still waiting for you, baby. ANSWER ME!!!'

Gibran still did not bother to see the message from Lodya.

Lody:

'WHAT'S MY FAULT???'

Gibran ignored Lodya's message. Not long after that there was a re-entry message, this time not from Lodya.

Andra:

'Meet me at the cafe now. I'll tell you.'

After reading a message from Andra, Gibran immediately went inside his house, picked up his jacket and then turned on his motorbike to drive into the street.

Andra was Gibran's high school senior. He and Andra were best friends because they were both on a school basketball team, but due to an unpleasant incident, they eventually became distant and never related again.

Gibran was at a cafe, where he and Andra made a pact. Gibran saw Andra sitting alone in the corner of the cafe, he approached him.

"Hi" greeted Gibran politely to his upperclassman.

"Why are you suddenly asking Lodya?" andra asked without further ado with her cold face.

Gibran immediately sat opposite Andra, he had not seen Andra for a long time.

"I'm dating him." replied Gibran.

"Haha...!" Andra laughs at Gibran. "Are you seriously dating that girl?" andra asked then, her once cold countenance immediately changed.

"Yes." replied Gibran briefly. I don't know why his feelings are so bad. "I mean, I was dating her, but I'm not serious" Gibran continued.

"Hmmm..." Andra thinks. "You never change" he said as he thought of something.

"I'll change." replied Gibran understood Andra's intentions and immediately dismissed his thoughts regarding Gibran who would never seriously date.

"You're just messing around with Lodya" Andra said with a smile.

"I just want you to answer what I asked you yesterday" Gibran said, wanting to quickly end his conversation with Andra.

"About where he lives?" ask Andra.

"Yes... I know Lodya's Lidya's brother. They used to see us practice basketball in school. All I know is that you're still dating Lidya right now, so you know where they live?" ask Gibran back.

"Lodya doesn't live with her parents, she lives alone in the apartment" Andra said. "Did he never tell you where he lived?" ask Andra to continue.

"I know he lives in an apartment, but I think he lives with his parents and Lidya, and he never tells me where the apartment is" Gibran said.

"Me and Lidya broke up a few months ago" Andra continued to surprise Gibran.

"What's? Haven't you been with her for years?" ask Gibran astonished.

"Yes, four years. Ever since the unpleasant incident involving you back then, I ended up courting Lidya." replied Andra with a face that turned irritated.

"Why did you break up?" ask Gibran again this time he realized it is not too important for him to know the affairs of others let alone Andra.

"What do you want to do with Lodya?" ask Andra to switch the conversation.

"I want to break up with him." Gibran continued.

"I really didn't expect you to have never been to Lodya's apartment" Andra said in a mocking tone at Gibran.

"If I had known, there was no way I would have bothered to ask you" Gibran replied, growing annoyed.

"Haha...! It turns out you're not as bad as I thought." Andra answered still riddles for Gibran.

"What do you mean?" ask Gibran curiously.

"It... Lodya apartment card, number 304. Come there now, maybe you will also find the reason why I broke up with her sister." replied Andra while handing over a card. Gibran immediately took the card and moved from the cafe to the apartment in question.

Meanwhile, in a minimarket...

"The total is one hundred and two thousand rupiah, sister" said the minimarket cashier while wrapping Gita groceries. Gita hands over the fitting money and takes her groceries out.

Gita to minimarket on foot from the hostel. The location of the minimarket is not too far away, but it turns out quite enough to make both feet achy Gita.

Gita opened her groceries and found a chocolate milk box in it, she immediately sat in the front seat of the minimarket and drank it.

"Eh, Brother Alvin." said Gita back.

"Have you finished shopping?" alvin asked Gita.

"Sister, this is coming home" replied Gita.

"Did I see your car?" alvin asked while looking around there was no Gita car in the minimarket parking lot.

"Hehe... Yes, I walked here." replied Gita smiling embarrassedly.

"Street? Is that far from your hostel?" alvin was surprised.

"Yes, all sports, sister." replied Gita jokingly.

"You know, I'll drive you home, yeah" said Alvin offering a ride to Gita.

"Emmm..." Gita thinks.

"I'll be a minute, okay. Just want to buy soap bath, because again run out." continued Alvin assured Gita.

"May, brother." Gita finally accepted Alvin's offer. 'Capek also if you have to walk carrying these groceries, after all will not be long, quite close too.' Inner Gita.

Gita also waited for Alvin briefly in front of the minimarket and came home with him.

Somewhere else...

Gibran was standing in front of a luxury apartment in the middle of the city. At first he hesitated to step his foot into the apartment, but eventually with curiosity he entered as well.

He entered the elevator and attached the card that Andra gave him on the 3rd button, not long after Gibran was on the 3rd floor of the apartment.

He walked in the direction of the arrow and arrived at a room that read the number 304.

Gibran is still confused as to why Andra has an access card for Lodya's apartment. While he was, even to find out where his apartment was, Lodya was unwilling to tell him. 'What is the relationship between Andra and Lodya?' inner Gibran curious.

Gibran was already at the door and immediately attached his card to the doorknob of Lodya's apartment.

The apartment door was slowly opened. Gibran walked slowly into the luxury apartment, really luxurious with a large room size and very complete facilities. Gibran walked through the living room, kitchen, and suddenly a whispering voice sounded from inside the room located at the end of the apartment. Gibran approached the source of the sound, and...

"Lodhi...!" gibran was surprised to see the scene in front of him. Lodya was in the blanket hugging a man next to her, who might be both undressed. Looks like they just finished doing 'something'.

Lodya was surprised to see Gibran coming, as well as the man who was even seen from his age as more worthy of being his father. "Gibrans...!" lodya was no less surprised.

Gibran immediately turned around and left the room. Lodya goes to great lengths to find his clothes and chase after Gibran. However, Gibran ran faster than Lodya could. Lodya could only cry without being able to say a word.

Gibran leaves Lodya's apartment and takes his motorbike to a place that has always been his destination, the Gita boarding house.

Meanwhile...

Gita just got to her boarding page. Alvin drove him home and helped bring his groceries to his boarding door.

"Thank you, sister" said Gita thanking Alvin for delivering it.

"Together, Git." replied Alvin smiling. "When do you want me to walk again?" ask Alvin then.

"Emmm. may, Brother. But if I'm not busy ya." replied Gita felt bad because previously always rejected Alvin.

"Well, if that's it. I've always been waiting for you." said Alvin again.

The sound of a motor suddenly entered the yard and parked in front of the Gita boarding house. Gita recognized the noise of the big, noisy motor. 'Gibran...!' inner Gita.

Sure enough, Gibran opened his helmet and got off his bike approaching Gita and Alvin who were standing in front of the door of the boarding Gita. Gibran stared hard at Alvin.

"I go home first, Git." Alvin said goodbye to Gita. Alvin felt bad about Gibran's gaze.

"Eh, yes, Brother. Thank you, be careful on the road." said Gita confused, accompanied by the gaze of Gibran who was curious whether Gita and Alvin had gone both ways.

Alvin turned on his bike and left.

"You're walking with him?" gibran asked in a somewhat irritated tone after Alvin left.

"No...!" answer Gita briefly.

"liying?" accuse Gibran of upsetting the Gita, too.

"No, I accidentally met Alvin at the minimarket. I thought I could walk there, too, so I accepted her offer to take me home" Gita explained.

"Oh.." replied Gibran, then paused for a moment.

"Why are you here?" ask Gita back.

"I broke up." Gibran replied to Gita's surprise.
