AUREL stared at the pebble nanar before him. His mind is in a rage. On the one hand Aurel should be happy because Danial has the same feelings as him, but on the other hand he worries Leana.


It must have been difficult for Leana to see Aurel and Danial tied up in a relationship called courtship. Especially with the fact that the three of them are in class.


Sometimes Aurel felt jealous of the dead things around him. They were just silent, not having any unrest that could make her cry break. Different from him who almost every day struggling with endless problems.


In her silence Aurel was startled by someone showing off the phone before her face. Aurel turned his head, it turned out that person was Danial.


"Now!" Danial gave her cell phone.


One of Aurel's hands was raised grabbing the phone from Danial's hand, "Why do you give me your phone?" a faint frown had been imprinted on the forehead of the beautiful girl.


"Readed message!" danial's orders.


Aurel lowered his chin reading the message sent by Nakula specifically for Danial. Today Nakula can't pick up Aurel because of the campus affairs that are hard to leave behind. Nakula asks Danial for help to bring Aurel home together.


After returning Danial's phone, Aurel played his backpack strap. To be honest he felt a little awkward near the man. "Just get back in public transport." Aurel spoke with his head bowed, the courage to link his gaze with Danial no longer exists.


"What if I'm the one who won?" Danial tilted his head slightly.


"What the hell, just..."


"Lo feel awkward on my deck?" guess Danial, accidentally his assumption made him cut Aurel's speech.


Aurel nodded.


"When I was in the cafeteria I actually wanted to say I liked it the same..."


"No need to continue! I know it already. But I can't answer now."


"Father, I'll be waiting."


...●●●●●...


DANIAL took Aurel's wrist which was about to step into his house. Automatic Aurel turned his body, he stared at Danial for several seconds.


There was an urge within him to look into those eyes for even longer, but the shame mixed with prestige forced Aurel to turn his face away from the man.


"Rel, I'll wait for you at the park tonight."


Patriarch looked in confusion on Aurel's face. The eye, which had focused in the other direction, was returned to Danial's face. "Garden?"


"Garden near the bus stop. I want you to meet me and express your same feeling to me." Danial found it difficult to finish his words.


Aurel seems to be thinking critically, seems to be weighing Danial's invitation.


"Where?" Danial showed a hopeful look.


"It's 8 o'clock in the evening and wait for me there!" tell Aurel at the end.


Danial can't control himself for longer. Aurel had just turned around when the man wriggled like a hot worm. Danial was too happy just because Aurel agreed to meet him.


"Danial's healthy?" sarah's arrival was completely unthinkable. Naturally Danial put on a look of surprise once a hand touched his shoulder followed by a question sentence.


"Eh Auntie," Danial was polite greeting the back of Sarah's hand.


"Why are you doing jogets like that?" ask Sarah. The woman had just returned home from a mini market when she saw Danial was drowning in her euphoria.


"Where are you going with Aurel?"


"There's more business on campus, Tan."


"Yes, you stop by first, let auntie make a drink," Sarah asked.


"Don't bother! This is Danial going straight home, Tan."


Sarah nodded, "If it's so careful on the road, don't speed. Auntie also nitip greetings with your mama."


"Ready."


...●●●●●...


AUREL rubbed his eyes for a few seconds. Last afternoon after school Aurel just put his backpack on the study table. And then he put his body on the bed.


Aurel was very tired. He also has a lot of thoughts. Fortunately the pain lodged in her head at this time had not yet reached the stage where the girl was finding it difficult to balance her body. Aurel was convinced that after swallowing aspirin the pain would go away.


Aurel pityed her reflection through the mirror. His body was still wrapped in a school uniform.


"Gosh," the real hand was about to take the comb stuck in the air. In the next second the hand ended beating his forehead slowly.


The girl sips her body, her chin is raised slightly, her eyes look at the clock that has shown at 7:30. Aurel just remembered his promise to meet Danial in the park.


Aurel prepared with the rest of the time left. Shower, dry hair, choose clothes, and some other things that girls usually do in general. Not wanting to be made ribet, Aurel only uses a plain pink shirt combined with a knee-length skirt.


...●●●●●...


FOR a while the girl just kept quiet beside the fountain while circulating her gaze.


Shortly after, his eyes began to recognize Danial. The man was sitting in a park chair watching some small children playing with their parents. Danial was so solemn that he was unaware of Aurel's presence.


"I'm sorry, I'm late."


Danial turned his head quickly to follow the source of the voice, "Father, sit down!" Danial shifted then patted the empty chair next to him. Aurel smiled stiffly at him and sat down as ordered. "Lo wants to eat gulali, right? Or maybe martabak? Or lollipops?" Danial tries to make small talk by going after Aurel with a question with the veiled intention of hiding his awkward feelings.


Aurel fell silent causing Danial to shrivel confused until his eyebrows almost interlocked, "Lo all right Rel?"


"Gue wants to get straight to the point" Aurel said.


Suddenly Danial was stunned, he became nervous. He even still needed a pause before hearing the answer from Aurel's lips. "Gue never once liked you Dan," Aurel lied. He just hid his true feelings.


"Why?" Danial was unable to control so that his question could not be missed. Without asking, Danial also realized his mistake all along. Before the accident Danial always mocked Aurel with the frills of strange girls because of his advantages of being able to see creatures from different dimensions. Danial also made Aurel as the object of his lips. And after the accident, Danial was still the one who shadowed Aurel.


"There's no reason, Dan."


Danial exhaled, now the man was trying to negotiate with his heart. Remember Davina's remark the other day that ; every action has consequences. Perhaps this pain could be interpreted as a consequence after Danial's actions conveyed his feelings.


"At least I still want to be next to me Rel! Even without the frills of dating!" danial.


Aurel was still looking the other way. Aurel ignored the gaze that led to her, twinkling Danial's eyes laden with sincerity while enjoying Aurel's face from the side.


Aurel held back tears that were ready to break. "Gue doesn't want that, I don't want you to expect too much from me. With you around me constantly, it means you even hurt your own feelings."


"Gue doesn't care, which obviously you'll stay by my side."


"But that makes me feel good about Danial!" aurel. The girl turned her face to Danial. "Better our relationship as usual, before you crash, and before you can squirm other dimensional beings!"


Danial took a sip of his saliva, "Oke Rel. From tomorrow I'll act the way you want to." Without saying goodbye, the meeting was ended by Danial. Her steps were so rushed that she left Aurel alone in the garden chair.


The corner of Aurel's eye dropped a tear grain. Now that Danial is gone, it means there is no reason for Aurel to keep the tears from coming.
