Hot nights.

"Gue's coming home, Ran. Bye." Pamit Radit when the whole class is empty. There are only three of them left, except for exulcised children who have moved places to their respective rooms. Including Rana, he and Devan will immediately practice.

Rana looked at Radit wryly, her eyes glazed over. Means asking for Radit's sympathy before he gets home. "Lo got my diemin, dit?"

Radit who was already standing in the doorway suddenly turned around and approached Rana. "Please be sure." After saying that he left. Not a second glance or assume the existence of Devan. 

Rana's rough breathing sounded. The mood's bad because of Radit. In fact, the incident according to Rana is only a trivial thing. But Radit was so angry. 

"That's nothing to think about. 'There is me. If you ask for help, I ask for it. Don't be awkward."

"Well, tomorrow he's good again. Just relax. Now practice first yuk, but I change shirts first. You just wait on the field, I followed with Yanti and the others." Rana's proposal to Devan.

Two weeks passed...

From then on, Rana's relationship with Devan grew closer. Even Devan often gives Rana chocolate or a bouquet of snacks even though it ends up in Iko's stomach. Yeah, Rana doesn't like those two things. Because it is given, Rana is not good if it refuses to give people. Fortunately there is Iko who is ready to accommodate. 

Meanwhile, Radit and Rana slowly began to distance themselves. It wasn't Rana or Radit who asked, but circumstances that forced them to be far apart. They were only together during class hours, it was because they were sitting down.

 During the break, Rana eats alone with Devan and Radit secludes himself with his other male friends. When she gets home from school, Rana is escorted by Devan. When the weekend, Rana hangs out with Devan, but usually Radit and Rana often spend the weekend together. Radit also never again came to Rana's house, Mama Rana also always asked her son. And unfortunately, Rana could only give another reason. 

Rana is aware of what she is doing. He's sad too. Radit never called her again or even just sent her a short message. Really, Rana misses Radit Fish. Rana likes to be close to Devan, but that doesn't mean Radit should stay away from her. In the past, when Rana was dating Zidan, the girl could still divide her time between boyfriend and best friend. But now it's strange that he can't do that. Devan is always with him until Radit is annoyed and chooses to give up. Ah, Rana hates that.

It wasn't just Rana who thought about this, Radit too. His days felt empty without the presence of a fierce Rana like Maemunah. 

"Dit, don't you watch Rana? Today is the match, you know. Don't want that support?" Septian said as he patted Radit on the shoulder who was staring at his mobile phone. They were hanging out in the cafeteria.

Radit patted his own eel. He just remembered that Rana was sparring, so today there are no lesson hours. Yesterday, Radit didn't go to school. So he doesn't know anything about today's show. Radit and Rana had also changed seats, so they were getting far apart. 

"Well? You just remembered?" Baihaqi. 

"Yes, it's just a newin. Rana also devan there. My presence is not so necessary." Reply Radit pasrah.

"Bro, how come that's all, anyway? You should be able to take Rana from him. Time is so lame. Go dong!" Kiki cheers up Radit. They were all astonished by Radit's bodoamatan attitude. 

"Radit, horrify me yes. If you make Rana deket same Devan continue and they are made, Rana himself will be hurt, dit. You know what Devan is. Fortunately there is Kiki who knows the real Devan, if not you must have been blessed to have their relationship." Septian said with a burning spirit, furious with the overly ghostly Radit.

Radit kept his phone in his pocket, then took a sip of his orange juice before speaking. He looked at one of his friends. "Gue's been working, guys. I also told Rana to be careful with new people, three times I even told him. But, what's his response? Laugh at! Oh Septian, Bai, Ki. I'm disappointed with him, he believes more in people he's only known for a few days than I've known him for years." His hunting breath said it all, the look in his eyes vividly illustrating that disappointment.

Baihaqi rubbed Radit's back. Septian looked at Radit with pity. 

Kiki, who had been sitting far away from Radit, is now approaching Radit. "Oh yeah, dit. Sorry bro, we don't know anything."

"At least Radit has fought, though never priceless in Rana's eyes." Baihaqi.

"You're a real decision, dit. Now it's up to Rana to say what, which surely one day she will regret having ignored your words." Septian iku joined.

"So, don't you think I didn't watch him? You guys don't mean it anymore. The cave." Radit Gerricks.

Shutter mendribble the ball seriously. The opponents are after him. Nimblely he ran and put the ball into the ring. Supporters, coaches and players cheered happily. 

Now is the last point before the Bakti High School women's basketball team wins today's game. Rana was very excited, she had a glance at Devan who was clapping and smiling at him. Devan clenched his hands into the air, Rana smiled back at him. 

Pluit. The competition is getting fiercer, Rana team members managed to snatch the ball and throw it to Rana. It didn't take long, Rana immediately put the ball into the ring and scored the final point. 

At once all the supporters of the Rana team cheered. Rana and her members gathered in the middle of the field and hugged in a circle. Mr. Bondan and Devan as the coach approached the woman's robes.

"YEY! WE MADE IT GIRLS!" Rana is very happy, especially when she sees her friends who have worked hard for this. 

"Congratulations you guys, I'm so proud." Mr. Bondan congratulated, then chatted with Yanti, Mariska, and the others. 

Devan approaches Rana. " Congratulations to Rana. You did your best. Your struggle is not in vain." She reached out to Rana, the girl returned her hands.

Rana smile. "Thank you. It's also thanks to an amazingly great coach." 

Rana's brows were tangled as Devan suddenly knelt before her, the hand that Devan had hidden from her from earlier turned out to be holding a bouquet of flowers. Devan locked onto Rana with his eyes on her. 

"Devan, what are you doing? Wake hey!" Rana was embarrassed because they were now the center of attention. 

"Gue love you, don't you want to be my girlfriend?" The corner of the raised lip formed a smile of happiness, hoping Rana accepted it.
