Not Marriage

25. Refusing

This morning was like a new leaf for Anna, she could not believe that on the way from the dorm to the campus, all eyes were watching her. Unlike the previous days where he walked carelessly without anyone's attention now it feels uncomfortable every eye looks amazed at him.

It turned out to be true said his friends if he was beautiful with a knee-length white dress with pink flower embroidery adorned his arms on the white seakers that he usually wears. Hair that is no longer braided two turns also bring a big influence on his new appearance.

Arriving at the class he found Aris looking at him with admiration to see the appearance of a little girl who is now not cute anymore. Anna sat down at her place before long Aris walked up to her and whispered.

“Gue still like how you look.” He then sat next to Anna.

“Gue doesn't change my appearance for you.” Answer Anna.

“But I like how dong?” Aris.

“Bodo Supreme!”

Irpan entered the class, he was surprised why lately Aris who used to sit next to him so he kept sitting next to Anna. Until the lecture hours ended Irpan could not follow the lecture with focus because his brain was filled with questions related to the closeness of Anna and Aris lately. Instead of thinking about it, he decided to ask Anna directly and express his feelings all along.

Irpan approaches the one Anna seems to be fighting as usual with Aris who continues to play her new hair.

“Na can we talk bentar?” ask Irpan.

“Iya why Pan? Talk Here aja.” Anna paused her speech while keeping Aris' hand away from her hair. “You guys tell me you don't mess up my new hair.” Said Anna.

“Gue wait for you at the cafe across campus ntar malem at seven o'clock ya Na.” Irpan.

“Let's go back Ris we to the orphanage now was bu Asih phone ask to help teach children math lessons he said.” Irpan said while taking Aris away.

Both left the class. So did Anna and her friends who decided to go to the cafeteria. The trip to the cafeteria was enlivened by the impromptu greetings of Anna's fans.

Meanwhile on the other hand Lisa, Maya and Fira seem furious because his efforts to keep Anna away from Irpan did not also succeed even now Irpan still crisscrossed close to Anna.

“But kapok also tuh our children lock in the toilet.” Lisa was upset.

“Udah Sa we finish aja tuh ntar boy malem.” Maya said and was taken by her two friends.

Anna and her friends had reached the cafeteria and ordered their own meals. While waiting for their food to arrive Dita as usual chose to play her phone to skate on social media looking for the latest news.

“Wow Amazing lu Na.” Dita.

Instantly Rani and Dewi immediately close their seats to Dita and look at Dita's phone.

“Crazy lu Na.” Shouted both.

“Aaan anyway?” Ask Anna.

Without further ado Dita immediately gave her phone to Anna so that the cute girl who is now so beautiful can know what causes her three friends to shout at her.

Sontak Anna was surprised to see Rico's vidio upload showing the scene of an accidental kiss with Aris in ATTAMART that night.

“This is not what you think.” Anna said while returning Dita's phone.

“As we think also no nothing times Na. You guys fit in.” Said the Goddess who was then thumbs up by Rani and Dita.

It was heard directly from the people around them.

“Portage now he changed his appearance maybe so not cheated again.”

“Can be it the result make over Aris.”

Such were some whispers that could still be heard clearly by Anna, until the four decided to immediately return to the dormitory after eating.

Evening arrived, Anna was getting ready in her room to meet Irpan at the cafe across campus according to what Irpan said last afternoon.

“Gue go a minute well.” Pamit Anna to her friends.

“Need me temenin ngga?” Ask Goddess.

“Ngga important do not be silent hp you guys, fear I have nothing ntar I call.” Anna replied as she walked out of the room.

Dewi and Rani seem to nod in agreement with Anna's words but not with Dita. He was worried that something bad happened to Anna like the last time when the girl was locked in a tolet. So Dita decides to follow Anna secretly.

Anna enters the cafe and searches for Irpan. Irpan waved his hand and Anna sat in front of Irpan. After that, they both ordered drinks and snacks.

“Says anyone wants you to talk Pan. You can talk now.” Anna said as she drank the hot chocolate of her order.

“I wanted to talk about this for a long time, but only now do I have a chance.” Irpan.

“Gue likes saama lu Na. You don't want to be my girlfriend.” Irpan revealed his heart.

Anna was silent to Irpan's words. Not only was Anna surprised by the expression of the tall man sitting in front of her right now, but Dita who had followed Anna and now sat not far from them with a face covered majlah could hear clearly the expression of the heart of the man she liked even liked her own friend.

“Where to?” Ask Irpan.

“Gue.... Sorry but I never considered you more than a friend.” Answer Anna.

It hurts to hear that answer but Irpan chose to strengthen his heart so that there is no strain in their relationship, at least even if not being a girlfriend can still be a friend.

“Iya not what – what.” Answer Irpan.

“Gue hope after this we can still be friends.” Irpan.

“Of course. I'm sure you can definitely get more from me.” Said Anna.

Anna then says goodbye and leaves the cafe.

“Lu definitely got more girls than me Pan. Dita deserves you more than me. Anyway, I just want to focus on learning.” Anna muttered as she walked out of the cafe.

There is a happiness of his own meliosahat Anna refused Irpan until now Dita forgot her main purpose of following Anna because of fear something bad happened to her friend. Now he walked forward to leave his desk to Irpan's table.

Irpan who had not opened his social media was looking at the post of Rico the gossip mongrel who showed the romantic scene of Anna and Aris in front of the convenience store.

“Pantesan nolak me, it turns out he's Aris' girlfriend. I could be this stupid to shoot my own women.” Inner Irpan.

“Don't be overlooked keep ntar you want!” Said Dita who is now standing next to Irpan so that she can clearly see the vidio she is looking at.

“Loh how are you here? Since when?” Irpan asked, she was afraid Dita knew she had just been rejected.

“Gue just entered keep seeing you here so I samperin deh.” Act as if you don't know.
