"Take this card, buy whatever you want. No need to think, choose as you please. I'll go with Arif!" azzam said coldly, Arif shook his head in disbelief. Azzam's attitude towards Nadya was really rude. Nadya can only look. He felt insulted by Azzam's attitude towards him.


Nadya feels like a paid woman. Women who only care about Azzam's treasure. Nadya's family is not as rich as the Azzam family. But he never thought of getting luxury from Azzam. Azzam's attitude to giving ATM cards. As if to say, if he only cares about Azzam's treasure.


"I'm not going with you for your money. Can I buy what I want with my own money? You don't have to insult me with your property. I'm not as rich as you, but I'm not as poor as Vira. He needs to be pitied by you. Your treasure is the reason he approached you!" nadya said rudely, while giving an ATM card that Azzam gave him.


Azzam smiled cynically at Nadya's words. Azzam did not care about Nadya's attitude or Nadya's anger. Although Azzam's attitude was outrageous, Azzam did not think to apologize. Azzam seemed to not care about crying Nadya. Azzam's rude attitude made Nadya hurt.


"Just talk about you, you have no right to insult her. Vira misjudged you, your attitude is not as good as he said. All this time Vira never vilified you. Now you insult him. What kind of friend are you? Vira chose her friendship with you wrong!" said Azzam coldly, Nadya inflamed hearing Azzam defend Vira.


Arif felt crowded between Azzam and Nadya. Both of them felt right about his attitude. Azzam with his opinion, if Nadya is a bad person. Instead it was Nadya who thought Vira was a contemptible person. Two opinions that contradict each other. Lama Arif silently listened to the debate Azzam dab Nadya.


Before long, both of his eyes were perfectly rounded. He saw Vira standing in the middle of the crowd. Vira is seen handing out a brochure of a simple diner. Lama Arif observed, until finally he saw Abil coming to Vira. Both wore the same clothes and handed out the same brochure. Obviously the two are carrying out the same activities in the shopping mall.


Arif walked closer towards Vira. No more caring for Azzam and Nadya. Arif is curious about the activities done by Vira and Abil. Seeing the many people surrounding them. Arif thinks the event held by Vira is very interesting. As a lecturer, he wanted to see the student's activities.


"What are you doing?" greeting Arif curious, Arif scrunched his forehead not understanding. I saw some students gathered at this place. Not just Vira and Abil, there are several students from different classes.


"We're raising funds for flood victims. We offer food and drinks for free, but with a note they donate everything!" sahut Abil was enthusiastic, Vira nodded in agreement.


Arif asked for a brochure from Vira. He read the menu inside. There is pride in Arif's heart. Seeing the sincerity of his students. Without much thought, Arif ordered some food. He wants to be a part of his student activities.


Abil and Vira smiled happily. Seeing Arif willing to be a part of his activities. Even Vira and Abil were made to gawk. When looking at the nominal donated by Arif. Vira gave a big thank you to Arif. He becomes part of the activities initiated by Vira.


"Vira, why don't you go find funding in big companies? Such as Atmaja company. I'm sure the CEO of Atmaja will make a donation!" arif said casually, Vira shook her head slowly. He never thought about finding funding in big companies. Considering the proposal that should be put to them is not easy.


"Why?" sahut Arif lirih, Abil approached and grabbed Vira's shoulder. Vira slowly brushed off Abil's hand. But instead of letting go, Abil laughed happily. Arif did not blink looking at Abil's attitude. He could not believe that Abil could do such a thing.


"Pak Arif, we didn't have time to make a proposal. So this fundraising was done suddenly. One of the members will leave without saying goodbye. That's why we held a fundraiser without preparation!" abil said casually, while embracing Vira's shoulders.


Abil embraces Vira without feeling awkward. Even Abil had resuscitated his head on Vira's shoulder. Many times Vira brushed aside Vira's attitude. Arif was speechless in disbelief at the unusual closeness. Although Vira and Abil are friends, Abil's attitude has violated the existing boundaries.


"You know all that!" arif said as calmly as possible. He did not want Abil to realize his uneasiness.


All this time Arif tried to bury his taste for Vira. Although the taste did not completely disappear. But when seeing the closeness of Vira with Abil. There was a slight pain stirring his heart. Arif retreats for the sake of taste between Vira and Azzam. But when he saw Abil who was so close to Vira. Arif felt a futile retreat without struggling.


"Our relationship is not just a friend. Me and Vira grew up together. What did Vira think? I will easily know. If possible, Vira is not only my best friend but my wife. Vira's father once asked me to look after him. But a relationship without love I never wanted. Because it would only hurt Vira. I chose to be a friend and sister to Vira. I won't let anyone hurt her!" abil said firmly and coldly, Arif mutely felt guilty. Abil looked as if he wanted to swallow him alive.


"My hand will always hold it. I'll take off this hand when there's a much stronger hand for him. A hand that won't hold another hand at the same time!" abil said firmly, then withdrew Vira's hand.


Abil takes Vira away from Arif. Vira nodded slowly, as if saying goodbye to Arif. With the same nod, Arif spoke to Vira. Abil kept pulling Vira's hand. Without Vira noticing, he passed Azzam and Nadya. Arif nodded understanding the meaning of Abil's gaze. A gesture not just directed at him. More precisely the gaze that was deliberately aimed at Azzam.


"The virus!" greet Azzam, holding down Vira's hand. When Vira and Abil stopped, Nadya was surprised to see the attitude of Azzam.


Since seeing the closeness of Abil and Vira, Azzam's face was very angry. Nadya sees the unusual anger of Azzam. Anger capable of killing anyone nearby? Nadya shuddered in horror seeing Azzam restrain his anger.


"Master Azzam!"


"We have to talk, enough of this madness. If it continues like this, you and I will be ruined together!"


"Abil, let go of my hand. I have to solve an unfinished problem. Wait for me at your house, I'll come say goodbye!" vira said softly, Abil nodded and then released Vira's hand. Abil walked over to Azzam.


Abil's gaze locked onto Azzam, Arif ran over. He did not want to see a fight between Abil and Azzam. But Arif's fear was wrong, Abil just wanted to say something to Azzam. Not to fight with Azzam.


"Honored Mr. Azzam Atmaja. Today I let go of my best friend Vira's hand. Just because he asked for it. He wants to give you a chance. Later I won't let it go, when you've taken it off. Even when Vira asked for it. I can be a friend in his pain. I can be a big brother when I'm lonely. I can be a husband by myself. Today I became a sister who gave her sister's hand to you. Later I will be the man who will take his hand from you!" abil said firmly and coldly. Azzam looked at Abil. The man who appreciates Vira. A man who can become a hindrance.


"Vira, I let you go because you asked for it. I hope your decision wasn't wrong. You deserve to be happy with him. If only he was the man you loved. Don't be afraid to reach your happiness. Sometimes we have to fight for it!" abil said, then left.


"We need to talk!" azzam said while holding Vira's hand tightly. Azzam turned to Arif, as if saying something.


"I'll take him home. Fight Vira before it's too late!"


"Thank you!" sahut Azzam, then withdraw Vira's hand. Azzam takes Vira out of the shopping mall.


"Mr Azzam, where are we going?"


"At once you believe me. I'll prove it to you. I can make you happy!" azzam said softly, Vira looked down silently. Azzam stopped his steps. Azzam twisted his body 180° facing Vira. Slowly Azzam raised his chin.


Azzam stared fixedly at the two eyeballs of Vira. Tired eyes look at the world. Azzam drifted in his love passion. Azzam's heart churned looking at Vira's face, so close that even Azzam could feel Vira's breath.


"Today I will make you lawful for me!"
