It was a relief because Satrya was not issued for some reason and certainly a request from Rey. Arel was still disappointed and angry at Satrya. Since then Arel did not even glance or see Satrya. And that made Satrya very sad. Is Arel hurt by her so much? So that he was so disappointed to know the authenticity of Satrya?
Though the other girls idolize him after knowing the real Satrya and great in fighting. Although indeed Satrya also felt uneasy because the students are now cross-legged to be able to talk or get acquainted with Satrya. And they kept trying to get Satrya's phone number.
Until the class was over and all the students were scattered out to go home, Arel was still silent and passed by without even glancing at Satrya. Devina also felt that Arel was too excessive on Satrya. Arel even breaks down to talk to Devina, as Devina does not feel the same way Arel does to Satrya at the moment.
"It looks like Arel is really very angry" Devina said.
"You're right Dev. Looks like I have to apologize to Arel," Satrya sighed.
"Of course, man. It must! Come on!" exclaims Devina pulls Satrya's hand to chase after Arel and apologizes to him.
Arriving at the gate, Devina and Satrya immediately confronted Arel in a hurry.
"Arel! Wait!" devina's exclaiming blocked Arel's path. Arel just stared cynically at them. Without answering he again stepped next to Devina so that he could pass.
However, Devina swiftly again blocked her steps so as not to advance. Arel breathed a heavy sigh. Then, back to glancing at them sharply.
"What do you want, anyway?" ask Arel annoyed.
"Hey, why are you acting like this?" ask Devina back.
"Arel! I know, you're disappointed. Probably very disappointed in me. I was wrong to lie to you. So, I'm sorry Arel," Satrya sideline looked at Arel with hope that Arel would forgive her.
"I'm sorry? You know, what makes me so disappointed?" ask Arel again. "I was disappointed, because Satrya was the first one I knew, someone brave but very gentle and sweet. But you're not Satrya. You're just a bad boy who loves violence. And proud of that fist of yours," replied Arel, then quickly walked away leaving Satrya who was still silent.
Satrya was completely devastated by the speech that Arel uttered. Is it wrong to use force to help others? Is it wrong, if he is proud of his fists to protect someone?
Satrya continues to be engulfed by abstract thoughts about her current self. That's why he disguised himself as a geeky boy. Not to be seen as a weak man, but to protect his fists.
"Well! Arel is absolutely outrageous! Does it make sense to be the reason why he was angry?" oceh Devina did not accept.
Satrya did not comment on Devina's remarks as it drifted in abstract thought to judge her own current temperament. Not long he sighed, then gawked away just ignoring Devina who was talking to him from earlier.
"Hey, Satrya! Where are you going?" devina shouted running after Satrya.

Arel arrived at his house and hurried to his room. He slammed his body on his soft bed. He kept thinking about Satrya. Why could he feel such disappointment towards Satrya? Now his mind started to mess up and make his head hurt because of that thought.
"Satry. What's wrong with me? What's wrong with my feelings? Why am I so talented as you? I was really shocked when I found out, that you're a Ghost Fighter. And for some reason, I'm so angry to know this."
Arel could not stop thinking about the geeky Satrya who had helped him several times. He kept thinking about the first time Satrya had helped him from the pursuit of the obscure men. And when Satrya catches him from falling when Rey pushes Arel out of a raging rage for the first time. Also when Satrya hugged himself so as not to be hit by the ball throw at that time.
All those thoughts continued to pierce his head. Given that, it made his heart beat back quickly. Arel felt his chest and he could feel the life of his heart speeding up just by thinking about the romantic things Satrya showed him. Even if it's just a coincidence and an accident.
"Why? Why is my heart beating so fast when I think about it? What's the matter with me exactly?"
For the first time Arel felt this unsettling feeling towards his own feelings. He had never felt anything like this before. Satrya had really made Arel look like a fool to himself.
But recalling Satrya who was so terrifying with her merciless fists and wild gaze towards her opponent. Making Arel's feelings all the more messed up. All the feelings he felt and the emotions in his heart were mixed together.
There is no feeling of guilt and fear after beating someone. Everyone must feel that. Depends who is being hit. Satrya is now trying to visit Rey in the hospital, because even if it is, the feeling is now swirling in her heart for Rey. The guilt of having questioned Rey was too much and of losing control. Rey should get some pretty serious treatment.
For a moment Satrya felt hesitant to enter after arriving in front of Rey's inpatient room. However, he strengthened his heart to apologize for his mistake. Satrya is a delinquent, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings. If you want to know, Satrya is a very weak and cowardly person. When he wanted to apologize, he was always afraid and ashamed. So that all this time he never dared to apologize to anyone he had hurt intentionally or not.
Satrya knocked on the door and entered. He found Rey eating lunch with her father.
"It turns out you're a transfer student? What the hell are you here for?" ask Rey wonder.
"Sorry to disturb. I'm just here to see you. How are you doing?"
Rey smiled and laughed. "You serious? You're really very naive. But yeah, I appreciate your bravery."
"Sorry sir. But can Rey and I just talk to each other?" pinta Satrya to Mr. Haris who had just been silent listening.
"alright. This is your business. So, get your business done, okay?" sahut Pak Haris immediately went out leaving them both.
"You want to say something?" rey asked as she ate back her food.
Satrya approached and sat down beside Rey. "I'm thrilled. Looks like you're okay."
Satrya keeps talking to Rey. Why is it so hard to say sorry to Rey?
"You're just here for that? Ohhhh..!!"
"No! There's something else I want to say."
For a moment Satrya fell silent and prepared herself to say it. He took a long breath.
"Sorry Rey. I just lost control. I couldn't control my emotions when my fist came out" Satrya said, filled with regret.
"Well, it has to be. I admire that courage. You even looked at me wildly back then. You're a real man, man. And since you're here, I'll tell you something" Rey replied.
"What?"
"Can you take care of Arel?"
"Why? Aren't you the one who's always been protecting her?"
"Bahh.. You realize that?"
"of course. Maybe you're acting like you hate him. But you like her a lot and you secretly protect her too. Why are you asking me to protect her now?"
Rey momentarily fell silent and smiled. "Because I have to go. I just want Arel to go to school comfortably and peacefully. With you by his side, I'm sure Arel can learn well without any distractions. So, protect him!"
Satrya smile. "I think I misjudged you, man. All right, I'll do that. Friends?" satrya clenched her hand and stretched it out to Rey, hoping that Rey would retaliate and tos together.
"Sy base! All right, man," Rey smiled back and accepted happily. After punching each other and boxing, in the end they become friends. And that has benefited both sides.
You're gonna protect her. I'm sure, because you like it. That way, I don't have to worry about anything anymore.
