Before leaving for the mall with Clara, Aeli took time to play with Gita in the yard. Surely there's a monkey nanny there too.

Gita is a fun hobby. Look, brought toys by Aeli, he prefers bananas in the hands of Mbak Nana. That monkey is.

“Git, here play with Eli. Ntar bought bananas as well as trees,” persuaded Aeli while sounding cute things he held.

Gita shook her head at the unwilling sign and continued to shine. Mbak Nana chuckled at the response of the jokester Gita.

“Woi monkey! I don't think I'm tampol!” Aeli lost his patience and Gita remained unconcerned.

“Mager dia, Non,” sahut Mbak Nana.

“Not mager Mbak, but slacker. Not good if it is designed.”

“Gita monkey, Non. So it's okay.”

“No can!” Aeli stared fiercely at Gita who even put on a shitty look.

“Git, if you don't want to play I stay, huh? I don't want to see you again,” threatened Aeli.

Gita.

“Dih.” Aeli directly pointed the middle finger. Inviting laughter Mbak Nana who has since noticed the interaction of the two.

Tin tin!

The car horn of someone who got into the yard of the house surprised Gita. The monkey reflexively jumped into the body of Mbak Nana, hugging her tightly while submerging the face in the niche of the woman's neck.

While driving the car was even excited to see the panic reaction of Gita, ignoring the gaze of the eagle that Aeli threw.

“Down lo!” tell Aeli when Clara's car has stopped. Clara obeyed Aeli's orders and went straight to her best friend.

“Yaaaahaha the monkey panicked!” Clara pointed to Gita.

The irritated Gita instantly descended from Nana's body and lightning-fastly approached Clara. Of course Clara escaped before being ruffled by the strange monkey. Gita could not reach Clara because of the chain around her neck.

“Lo is getting worse, Git? More stretched ya lo body,” tease Clara given a shrill screech Gita.

“Everything is not snacking mulu! Bantet right!” Clara's laughter grew.

Aeli can only shake to see the debate of two different creatures of the habitat. The one rese the other emotionally. But it is also suitable to look around.

“Mbak Na, I leave first. Please watch out for Gita while I'm gone, okay?”

“Siap, Non Ae. Gita will definitely be safe under control if the same Ma'am Nana.”

Aeli lifted his thumb then walked over to Clara's car. “Buruan, Clar! Meet kangen same twin lo ntar aja!”

“Sianjir,” umpat Clara who was still teasing Gita. The girl approached and reached for Gita's head before leaving, giving a brief swipe.

“Go first yes, ugly! Dadaaah!” Not to forget Clara also said goodbye to Mbak Nana who responded with a sweet smile and a wave of hands.

“Makin diiat lo so more like my monkey,” chirped Aeli before actually getting into the car.

“Children lo emang.” Clara came in and immediately took her car out of the yard.

...•••...

Aeli has been back and forth in front of the mirror several times observing his appearance tonight. Make sure nothing is wrong or wrong.

After several hours of choosing clothes, finally Aeli's choice fell on blue assymmetric dress combined with linsey rhinestone heels as footwear.

Aeli also wore several accessories such as the Josephine aube printaniere pendant necklace, pendant earrings with crystal and pearl, and new farandole bracelet to increase her beauty levels tonight. 

Still, Aeli still felt less. He was afraid of not being able to perform optimally in front of Sky or his choice was not matching with the Sky suit. Ck, whereas previously he had also exchanged messages and chose a suit that matches his partner.

“What if I look weird, huh? Suer for whatever it is my first time to party with a couple. How unlucky.”

Tok tok!

“Ngagetin aja ish.” Aeli who had jumped trying to regulate breathing. Walk slowly to open the door.

Figure Ashila greeted him. The woman looked amazed to see Aeli's form. “Very beautiful son Mama,” praise invite Aeli decakan.

“Ngapain Aunt to here?” aeli asked directly to the core.

“There are waiting Aeli tuh below, his name is Sky if not wrong.”

Aeli's round eyes widened. “Sky? Is he here?!” Hurriedly Aeli peered downstairs.

“Yes, just nyampe. Said to pick up Aeli.”

“Aw! How am I, yak?” Aeli blank's. Confused about what to do.

“Aeli needs help? Want Mama to help?” fresh Ashila.

Aeli took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, repeatedly for several times until he felt calmer.

“What do I think of my aunt? Is something wrong? Make up I'm too menorang, right? My clothes? Shoes?”

Ashila could not help but smile hearing Aeli talk long with her, even asking for her opinion. Without hesitation Ashila answered.

“Aeli beautiful. Everything fits, nothing less or wrong.”

“Tante is no longer my fad, right? If Aunt revenge do not now deh memgebalesnya.”

Ashila laughed softly. “Mama seriously, Li. Aeli is really beautiful tonight.”

Believing in disbelief, Ashila's words slightly restored Aeli's confidence. At least he's a little better.

“Totally?”

“Iya, Darling.”

Aeli then returned to the room to pick up the white clutch and put in his phone and wallet. Do not forget to take the gift that he had prepared for Rinda. Then Aeli walked out, saw Ashila was still there staring at him, Aeli stopped. Actually lazy to talk about gini, but yaudah is.

“Thanks. Because Aunty already gives assessment.”

Ashila was stunned, of course. Aeli wanted to quickly leave before the woman retaliated, but she immediately turned around when she accidentally remembered something.

“Please take care of papa as long as I go.”

Afterwards, Aeli actually stepped down the stairs. Leaving Ashila still riveted because of her god-for-god utterance was completely unexpected.

Aeli slowed down the steps once he found the Sky figure. His eyes glared fixedly at Sky's steady back as the man's position was behind him. From behind his handsome already almost made Aeli faint, especially from the front.

“Sky ...”

Aeli's soft voice turned Sky's body towards him. Aeli held her breath when the guy's face filled the frame of his view. Handsomest. One word that immediately crossed Aeli's mind.

Tonight Sky is wearing a sweater suit and light blue pants combined with matching outer tuxedo and white sneakers. The bangs that usually cover the smooth eels are now made sideways with a little gel polish.

The man, very different from Sky who always met in ordinary days. I don't know where it's cute. For God's sake, there really is no morality!

Aeli then cleared a short moment. “Sorry for long, Sky. Why not just enter?”

“No papa Li, here adem.” Her sweet smile was engraved. “Depart now?”

Aeli nodded. The great throbbing in his heart bothered me terribly, I apologize.

“E-eh.” Aeli gasped as Sky suddenly reached out in front of him. Not yet had Aeli digested the situation, Sky's soft voice took over.

“Can I prick? The road was a little slippery because of the drizzle. Fear your shoes are not nahan.”

Anjir bener.

I'd say Sky mode, but the road is shiny. Aeli himself did not know when the drizzle came down to the face of the earth. He seemed to be too busy with appearances to not ignore the surroundings.

“B-can he? I'm taking lo?” Aeli threw a question.

“Loh why can't you?”

“What if lo baper?”

Sky laughed. Diabetes is me. “Later I ask for your responsibility if baper.”

Quibble. Aeli can go crazy if he is faced with this situation for too long. Without lingering any longer Aeli instantly linked their hands. It felt very warm and comfortable when the surface of Sky's hand clutched Aeli's tiny hand.

“Sorry yes I picked you up by motor. You're okay, right?” sky asked after the two of them got near the Sky vespa motorbike.

Aeli chuckles. “Neither, why should anything? I even seneng picked up by motorbike from car.”

“I'm afraid you're not comfortable because you're also wearing a dress.”

“This easy business mah. Relax aja.”

Sky had always been amazed by Aeli's simplicity since the beginning of their meeting. Aeli is not much nudus, do not like to force as well. Aeli has always accepted anything about him and it makes Sky feel valuable.

“Aeli,” call Sky.

“Ya?” Aeli looked up until his eyes looked at the eyes of the master.

“You are beautiful.”

The two words that came out of Sky's mouth managed to cripple Aeli's entire sanity. His body was like being carried soaring that it made his feet like they were not treading on the ground. With the rest of the control that Aeli had, as much as possible he withdrew so as not to fly too high.

“Lo also.”

“I'm beautiful?”

“Flat, Sky. Lo very handsome.”

If Aeli's face is in bareface alias not wearing any makeup, it is certain that his cheeks will be red like tomatoes. He who praises him is also ashamed.

“Still. It's wearing the helmet first,” tell Sky. Pulling out a pink helmet on Aeli.

“I don't know your favorite color, so I brought a pink helmet. Because according to the research I read, most girls like the same color pink.”

Aeli laughed softly while shaking. There is just the behavior of this sweet creature.

“Udah can ride?”

Sky nodded. “Slow-slow, Li.”

Aeli sat himself on the Sky motorbike in a tilted position, hugging the waist of the guy as usual. After the Sky motorbike walked out of the Aeli house area, the girl returned.

“Gue likes all colors, more specifically the same yellow purple.”

Sky was still listening, until when Aeli brought his face to his ear, Sky spontaneously held his breath.

“But if you ask my favorite color, yes elo.”

...•••...

Rinda's birthday party takes place at one of the city's top hotels. The invitation that came was not a little. In addition to students from Flourst High School, it turns out there are students from other schools, more precisely a group of gangs who enliven the event.

Aeli was really amazed when he got there. Although the sheer number of humans made Aeli's head slightly throb, it did not kill his admiration at all seeing Rinda's invited guests. The girl's relationship turned out to be really broad.

“Ready, Li?” asked Sky who was now standing next to Aeli.

“Shortly, I take a breath first.” Aeli sucked in oxygen and then took it out through his mouth. Keep it up to three times.

“Udah, let's go in,” reply with a smile after feeling much better. Without being told Aeli directly crossed his right hand on Sky's arm.

They walked like lovers. Their arrival certainly managed to confiscate many pairs of eyes. Moreover, Aeli and Sky are included in the ranks of the most known people in Flourst. Some stared in amazement and some stared in surprise.

“Damn. Aeli dateng the same Sky? For what?!”

“Crazy crazy wit! Kirain Aeli will be the same Dipta loh.”

“Huhu why they fit so well, huh? Sky also why must be handsome anyway?! Screw me!”

“Mama want Sky!”

It was very desirable for Aeli to punch his mouth that dared to admire Sky blatantly. If he wasn't at Rinda's birthday party, the humans would be in his hands. The sky? Of course that guy's a duck. The views of others are not his concern.

Song 34 + 35 by Ariana Grande heard on loudspeaker. Aeli put on a smile as soon as Rinda saw his presence.

“Aeliiii!” pekik Rinda semringah as she waved her hand. His voice caught the attention of some of the invited guests.

Aeli got in front of the girl. “Happy Birthday Yes, Nda. May all your wishes come true and always be happy,” said Aeli while hugging the body of the beautiful girl. Not lingering Aeli immediately took it off for fear of unpleasant feelings appearing. Luckily Rinda understood.

“Hopefully you like yes, Nda. Confused I made a gift for lo.” Aeli handed over the gift he had prepared.

“Huhu, thank you so much, Li. Really good job deh.” Rinda received her card and placed it on a small table.

“Gue kirain you will not come to know. Lo kampret really if asked to go to ginian.” Rinda pursed funny lips.

“Yes come, Nda. Yes, my birthday is winuin.”

Rinda laughed, her gaze turning to Sky.

“Eh hi, Sky! I do not expect you guys will come together!”

Sky smiled, extending a hand that was certainly immediately welcomed by Rinda. “Happy birthday, Rin. May all your good wishes come true soon.”

“There are many yes, Sky! I looked at the queen Flourst came with the same couple. It fits you both so well again. So be it!” Rinda giggled to see Aeli's countenance held in shame.

“You guys do it, I want to do something else first. Bye my ship!”

Do not ask why Aeli and Rinda can be very familiar when almost the entire population Flourst avoid Aeli. The answer is because they both have known since Junior High and have been in the same class.

Moreover, Rinda is cool and easy to blend. Does not like to interfere with others and avoid gossip. Aeli is also welcome because Rinda deserves to be a friend.

“Li.” Sky suddenly called out.

“Ya, Sky?”

“You to there?”

Aeli. “Bby.”

Both of them got out of the middle and approached the place that provided all kinds of food and drinks. Actually Aeli did not want to linger here to see more and more people coming. However he could not just leave, other than being disrespectful he could be rumored by all the Flourst disciples present.

“Li, you wait here first no papa? I want a moment,” pointed Sky at a row of guys who have been watching them since the beginning.

As soon as Aeli turned his head, Tirta waved a small wave at him while winking one eye, flirtatious. Aeli screeched and immediately threw his face at Sky.

“Okey. Not long, right? But I'll come back later, right? You won't leave me that way, right?”

Sky chuckles. “I only need a moment, it's back again.”

“Sip. Yaudah there let me spit back,” joked Aeli.

“If kangen says, yes?”

“Dih, what the hell just now? Pombal?” reply Aeli laughed.

“Test try.”

Damn it people. Faced with Sky who 'this' can make Aeli more sensitive. So Aeli immediately focused on finding food as soon as Sky scatters from before him. As much as possible to hide his smile so that not many people realize.

The cheers of the boys were heard after Sky got in front of them. Aeli turned a glance, seeing the guys surreptitiously glancing at him while continuing to tease Sky. Seriously, their faces are dirty. Good thing friend Sky, if not spread out.

“Kak Aeli.”

Aeli turned to hear his name called. The smile he had just put on now completely faded away. Claudia's presence made her mood drop drastically. Why did it also sort out that one had to appear in front of him?

“What?” ketus Aeli's. Take a glass of soda and drink a little.

“Kak Aeli .. dating sis kak Sky?” ask Claudia.

The beautiful girl looks graceful with sequin suits embellished tiered mini dress equipped patent leather Mary Jane pumps. Long hair that is bunned up and combined with crystal embellished headband adds to the luxurious impression of Claudia's appearance tonight.

“If yes why if not why?” Aeli is behind.

Claudia smiled faintly, shaking slowly. “Nno, Brother. I was just curious. Sorry if my question made Brother uncomfortable.”

“Can't if I meet you I'm sorry mulu? Do not pegel your mouth repeat the same word every time?”

The fragile girl was scared. Although Aeli's voice is fairly slow, the emphasis in each sentence still feels gripping.

“Ma—”

“By the way I kicked ya, Clau.” Aeli actually made goiter half-dead.

“Au—”

“Mending you go. I'm so sick of seeing your face, seriously.”

Claudia bit her deep lips softly hearing Aeli's words. His heart was like a squeeze. “Then I go first, Brother. Ma—”

“Stop saying sorry, Claudia Ardani!” Aeli's impact managed to grab the attention of some people who were nearby. Fortunately, the sound of music disguises the girl's voice so that it is not heard by the entire room.

“I-iya, Sister.” After that Claudia immediately stepped away from Aeli's presence. The look of the people made him even more afraid.

“Son's son emang. Disturb aja,” oceh Aeli sebal.

“Attention please.” The sound that appeared on the loudspeaker managed to distract the entire room including Aeli. They focused on looking at the owner of the show who was now smiling brightly while holding the microphone.

“Gue doesn't interrupt your time, do you guys? Well, really sorry yes I suddenly bribed gini.” Rinda acted impishly, inviting the slow laughter of her friends.

“First of all I want to say thank you very much the same you who have attended and enliven my sweet seveneen event. The best are you. I want to see my friends turned out to come all. Huhu.”

“Don't cry, Nda! Sacred mask lo fade ntar!” Dylan's baritone voice made Rinda raise her fist towards the guy.

“Nangis aja gapapa, Nda! Terms your tears should be pearls!” Rey seplos's. Break the laughter of the people in the room.

“Lo think I'm mermet! Diem deh lo on! I want to continue this speech!”

“Tau hey! Duration duration!” Voice Kiky—friend Rinda— appeared on the loudspeaker. By the way he's the MC of the show.

“Next?” ask Rinda.

“Next! Cus spout!”

“Eh, Ky. Where did I get to?”

“Haduh, only seventeen years old already senile lo, yes.” Kiky. “Until you cry blood, Afrinda.”

“Ohiya. This is serious, I speak from my heart. I am so moved to see you guys. Well as my gratitude because you guys have come, for those who have a partner please docked to the dance floor, yes. Because soon the main event will start. For those who do not have a spouse lamenting the fate of your singles in the corner gih. Or rent a couple of people also I welcome with pleasure.”

Rinda's short speech closed with cheers from her friends. After that some people started to docked to the dance floor. The song Lowkey by Niki that was previously played is now replaced with a beautiful piano. Not to forget the lighting is set to be more dim to add a romantic impression.

Aeli dizzy looking for the whereabouts of Sky who never returned. The lack of lighting made it a little difficult for him to find the guy.

“Sky where the hell is it? He said just for a minute.” Aeli grumbling. Though the dance has already started but Sky has not shown the trunk of his nose.

Is it possible that Sky deliberately avoided it? Or did he get a partner? Or not dancing with her? Then why did he offer to be Aeli's partner?

Ah, goddamn. Aeli is overthinking.

Just a second Aeli lowered his gaze, he was surprised to feel his body suddenly pulled by someone to be in the middle of several couples who seemed to focus on dancing to the music.

Aeli Kontan widened when his eyes met with sharp eyes belonging to someone who is quite familiar. His heart felt like it was about to pop out of the body when he caught a very thin smile at the corner of the empress' lips.

Not yet Aeli spoke, his waist was pulled first to make their bodies more docked. At this close distance Aeli could even smell the scent of the man's perfume.

“Hai,” said, highlighting Aeli's pretty face fixed. “Shock look at me?”

Aeli gulped, holding the chest of the man so as not to get too attached to his body. “L-lo what?” tanyanya nervous.

“Dansa. Did I say I want you to be my partner?”

“Crazy. I never agree, satan,” umpatnya annoyed. Not expecting a human named Dipta is what dragged him into the crowd.

Then, Dipta brought the lips closer to Aeli's ears. Low whispering makes the girl goosebumps. “But now you're here, with me.”

“Shit.” Aeli wanted to break away, unfortunately the more powerful Dipta energy was holding his body to stay in place.

“Leasin. I don't want to be your dance partner!” strictly full of emphasis. A bad taste re-emerged every time he came into contact with this guy.

“Gue won't let you go.”

Dipta fused her fingers with Aeli while one hand continued to hold the girl's waist so as not to move away. With a slow and careful movement he led Aeli to dance. Align their movements.

“You want what huh? Why do you always bother me? Don't you have a partner? Why don't you dance with your partner aja bangs?” oceh Aeli emotion.

Not that the annoyance Dipta even showed a smile. “Lo my partner.”

“But! I'm not su—”

“Faye Aeliya.”

Aeli froze as Dipta mentioned his full name in a low tone. Making his heart beat even more crazy.

“Lo just need diem. No need to protest much.”

“Whose problem until I have to recite the talk of lo?”

“Boyfriend candidate lo.”

“Gil—”

“Yes I'm crazy. Why?”

“Please let you! Not clear!”

Aeli did not even care if his voice was heard by others. All he wanted to do was break away from the Creator. For the sake of the universe and the rest, Aeli was really uncomfortable making physical contact with the guy, let alone with this close distance. And without Dipta realizing, Aeli was almost crying holding back the feeling of pleasure in him because of the act of the damned Dipta.

“Claudia demon! Where the hell is anjir? Majik kampret lo drag it stop woiiiii!”

“Now it's time to change partners, guys!” MC's voice re-echoed on the loudspeaker.

Gotchas! This is Aeli's chance to escape.

“Ready? Three, two, one! And now!”

Succeeds. The negligence of Dipta is a golden opportunity for Aeli. He smiled when he got out of the guy. But the next second, someone suddenly pulled his body to get closer.

“Anying who else, anyway?!”

Unprepared, Aeli's heels slipped slightly and almost hit the man's chest if the master did not hold him. Aeli's hand rests on the broad shoulder while the boy's hand was holding his waist and arms.

“Are you okay?”

The deg!

The soft voice politely greeted Aeli's eardrum, leaving him stunned for a moment. The beautiful leafan back he felt, until when he forced to look up, a person's visual under the dimly lit lights seized his sanity in the same second.

“Sky Lazaro.”

The name very quickly filled Aeli's mind which was previously filled with dozens of swear sentences. His sense of regret, was instantly exhausted without any residue.

“I'm here now, for you.”
