Nadine had just finished her schoolwork when a message from Chris came into her phone.

[Nad!] - Christian-agency

[Yes, Chris. What's wrong?] -Nadine-

[There's nothing. I suddenly miss you] - Christian-

[Your face makes kangen] - Christian-

[Well, right. Start the race again.]

[Search for girlfriends, gih! Let there be something you can gombalin] - Nadine-

[How is it you are my girlfriend?] - Christian-

Nadine did not answer Christian's chat. I don't know why Nadine's heart suddenly beats irregularly.

Is Christian shooting Nadine now?

[Alright if you force it] - Nadine-

[Udah night. Sleep on! Good night, Nadine] - Christian-Christian

[Good night, Chris] - Nadine-Nadine

There was no reply from Christian. Nadine immediately exited the bright green chat application. Nadine opened her Instagram account. Lots of DMs coming in. One by one Nadine open and Nadine reply although sometimes the content is only haha hihi from Nadine fans in cyberspace.

Finished with the instagram DM, Nadine continued to see stories belonging to some people who Nadine followed. Not many stories that attract the attention of Nadine, except Christian's story of course.

"If you knew..."

That's what the caption reads in Christian's story. There's no picture of anything. There was only a dark black screen behind the writing.

Nadine sniffed her shoulders and really did not understand the meaning of Christian's story.

I don't know,

Nadine didn't want to think too much about it.

Nadine went on to check her Instagram wall. Scroll, scroll, and scroll. Nadine occasionally posted comments on some of her friends' passing posts.

Until finally a photo of a bouquet of white bridal flowers, making Nadine stop her finger scrolling the instagram wall.

Of course Nadine memorized with the bouquet of flowers. Nadine even kept it in her room.

There is a caption under the photo.

"The myth, if there is a girl who can get a bouquet of flowers thrown by the bride. The girl will be married soon.

Basic myth!"

There are a few comments below the photo. Nadine who kepo immediately open and browse one by one comments pinned by Christian friends.

And what happened next, Nadine really had to hold back her laughter because some of the comments were indeed very silly. And some commenters also mentioned Nadine's account. Making Nadine's face back must meet red.

Nadine yawned widely, signaling her body was in need of rest now. The girl immediately turned off her phone and went to sleep. Tomorrow Nadine has to go to school, so Nadine doesn't want to sleep too late.

Next morning.

Nathan was getting ready on his bike when Nadine just got out of the house.

"You together, Nad?" Nathan asked while wearing his helmet.

"No! Chris wants to pick you up again," replied Nadine quickly while wearing her school shoes. The girl was still sitting on the terrace seat.

"alright. I go first" Nathan said, waving to Nadine.

Nadine waved back at her twin sister. Not long after, Nathan's motorbike had left the yard.

Nadine dyed at the fence of her house waiting for Christian who never came. The girl also repeatedly looked at the watch in her hand. Nadine reached into the phone in her pocket and was about to contact Chris. But just now Nadine put the phone in her ear, Christian's motorbike has arrived.

"Sorry is late" said Christian without taking his helmet off. The young man only opened a bit of the fullface helmet glass he was wearing.

"No problem. We'll just go, yeah!" Reply Nadine while wearing a helmet on her head and riding on Christian's motorcycle. After Nadine was ready, Chris immediately drove his bike away from Nadine's house.

Along the way, the two teenagers just kept quiet and did not chat.

After a fifteen-minute ride, Chris's motorbike finally made its way into the school parking lot.

Nadine immediately went down and removed her helmet.

"Come, Chris!" Take Nadine to Christian who never took off the helmet on his head. Nadine was a little confused by Christian's behavior.

What's wrong with this young man?

Christian circulated his gaze to the right and left before completely removing the helmet from his head. And at that time, Nadine was surprised by the white face of Christian who now looks bruised and blue in some parts.

"God! What's your face, Chris?" Nadine panicked.

Christian just shook his head and refused to answer. The young man immediately got off his bike, and grabbed Nadine by the arm.

"Girl!" Call Nadine again.

Christian stopped his steps. The young man turned his head towards Nadine and looked at Nadine's face.

"I'm doing fine. Let's go to class!" Take Christian back to pull Nadine's arm.

But this time Nadine just budged and did not want to follow.

Christian turned around and approached Nadine.

"We're going to the UKS now! I'll treat those wounds" said Nadine a little forcefully.

"I'm fine, Nad!" Sergey Christian immediately refused.

"Easy! Come on!" Nadine still forced Christian and slightly dragged the young man to follow his steps towards the UKS room.

****

Inside a quiet UKS room.

Nadine immediately picked up the P3K box and began treating bruises on Christian's face. The young man was silent and occasionally grimaced as his wounds were cleaned and treated by Nadine.

"What happened, Chris? You fighting?" Cecar Nadine with a worried face and concerned.

Chris shakes.

"Papa beat me" said Christian.

"What?" The shocked Nadine immediately stopped her activities. The girl looked at Christian.

"You made a mistake?" Nadine asked a little doubtfully.

"I just want to realize my dream of becoming a professional basketball player. Is that wrong, Nad?" Christian asked as he stared at Nadine's netra.

Christian's eyes are glazed now.

"I took a scholarship selection test at the University one week ago. I was declared escaped. But when the letter arrived home, papa received it, "Christian started telling stories.

"Papa tore the letter in front of me" Christian continued in a soft tone.

There seemed to be an overcrowding being held by the seventeen-year-old young man.

"Father forbade me from entering the University. Papa will immediately send to Amrik after graduation later," added Christian again still holding tightness in his chest.

Christian cupped his hands together to cover his own face. It seems like the young man is crying right now.

Nadine approaches Christian and embraces his best friend. Hopefully this way Nadine can ease the tightness in Christian's heart.

For a moment the atmosphere in the UKS room became quiet.

The school entrance bell has sounded. But both Nadine and Christian are still reluctant to get out of the UKS room. Maybe both of them will ditch in the first hour today.
