"No!" A resolute tone mixed in the tempestuous disapproval in the hall room, the sound of buzzing followed, the members of the stewardship panned in bewilderment. "Gue doesn't agree! This is not fair!"

"How unfair? This is definitely the fairest!"

"Gue doesn't agree! Meisya that's my girl! I'm following because with him, if the end is gini, mending me go." Satya clasped his girl's arm, turned around.

"Lo can't do that! Must be professional, dong! Who chose one school. If you're not the main character!"

Satya's face hardened, from the tail of her eyes she glanced at Azka who was secretly watching Vita. There is a sense of unwillingness in his heart especially considering his relationship with Azka is not good lately. And also, he became resentful of the guy because he always approached Vita, even now he can still steal a look.

"No problem knowing. I don't mind" cried Meisya.

"Do you really want to?" Satya. Accidentally glancing at Vita at a glance, the girl was seen pecking at the footing. Just looking at him had caused irritation in Satya's heart.

"Yes, anyways Azka doang mah. We're the tenth grade."

Feeling that the speech had a point, Satya again faced the management members, with Meisya who he still held. Depresses feeling upset about maybe having to meet Vita again.

"Now what am I with Ricky?" ask the girl in a dip, intonating straightforwardly.

"Patience first, let it be explained." Chelsea asked his partner to take a sheet of paper from the top of the dispenser. When the paper in question was already in his grasp, he turned the sheet over to make sure. "So, we've revised the script, and discussed, the drama that brought not Cinderella but Rapunzel."

"More precisely Tangled," errat boy kemayu.

"Wow, I'm Rapunzel" Meisya said, tilting her hair to her shoulders.

"That's what. Meisya is Rapunzel. Azka is Flynn Rider. Aresya became Gothel---'s mother"

"What?! Mother Gothel?!" The fierce-faced girl screeched while holding both cheeks, startled.

Not denied, Chelsea instead continued the division of roles. "Ricky was a soldier. Vita and Satya become Rapunzel's parents."

"What?!" sahut Vita was surprised, his face water pale.

"Gue doesn't agree!" This time Azka was against it.

But Chelsea looked indifferent. "The other "parts will follow from the language child. Now you learn the dialogue." He had his partner hand out the script. Vita, Azka and Satya did not accept the manuscript.

"It makes no sense" Vita murmured, still everyone could hear.

"How does it make sense?"

"Pension drama is usually Cinderella or Snow White, why is it different from others?" Vita does not know how to evade, honestly he does not agree because his role is juxtaposed with Satya, not because of the storyline.

"The role is not satisfactory!" Aresya Lantang.

"Happy, I love it" said the lead role, Meisya.

"Yes that's lo! If I were Rapunzel, I would be fine!"

"Lo's fate dapet the role of Mother-Mother, evil again, pftt."

"Ih, you're being rude!"

"Udah-udah! Don't fight here!" The mayo guy mediates. "You read the script first, don't just disagree. This part is for school retirement, it does not matter who or how the role is divided. The main role is chosen through the most votes. We must participate in the audience's request, do not think about personal problems. And lo, Vita, do not be greedy to take the heart of Mr. Kepsek alone, we from the management experience have spent a lot of time and energy, we want tinotice as well. Please help us so we look at Mr. Kepsek."

"Can't do that! Just like you guys are using Vita!" tukas Azka's.

"Not a benefit, we're working together."

"Love the role that Vita wants!" It is not usual for a joking Azka to be a little emotional.

"Udah! I don't mind, though." Quickly, Vita picked up the manuscript paper, read it with a trembling body. Honestly, he did not want to be the center of attention of many people.

Slightly unwilling, but because Vita had agreed despite being forced, Azka also took the script. While Satya received the script on Meisya sodoran. Everyone has now got a script, and is starting to read the dialogue. Errata, who reads only Vita. Others simply flip the paper to the end.

"Who? Is there a kiss scene?" The speech provoked panic, especially Vita, he was already tremored because he was afraid of strange scenes. But when he saw who did it, there was a sense of relief in his heart.

"What the fuck, anyway! What if you make a drama!" satya's circus, throwing the paper from his hand on the floor.

"It's not weird, Azka just Meisya's forehead!"

"Just say? You're crazy, lo?!"

"No papa, Sat. Kening doang, really." Meisya calms Satya down.

"We've become friends, we've forgotten the past."

"No. I can't."

"Satya." Meisya gave her a serious look, cornered Satya's legume bead. The two stared at each other. While those who see the look of care. Except for Vita, her chest was crushed so much that it hurt. Satya sighed, which meant she could not deny her girl's wishes.

"Okay, everyone agrees. I hope there is no more discussion. Training schedule for each school. I hope everyone is present."

Members of the administration disperse, some leave the hall, some are settled in doing other business.

Vita walked quickly out of the hall, her feelings filled with distress. It would be better if he didn't see those two people. His tears fell in the middle of the journey. The incident was repeated like a broken cassette, where Satya was very guarding Meisya. Wh why? Why isn't he in that position?

...🍂🍂🍂...

As women, honor is number one for them. Honor becomes a crown that must be kept half dead. However, from then on, Vita lost what she was supposed to be guarding. He could not sustain anything valuable in his life.

Vita's head looked up when a pair of glasses were unlicensed to her head. A pair of sunglasses. Fortunately when installed do not have physical contact with it.

"What?" Vita took the glasses.

Azka smiled obliquely. "Kasian, people are astonished to squirm your eyes suddenly as big as a pimpong ball."

Vita's grip on the glasses tightens. His eyes highlighted the emptiness. Azka filled the next chair, sitting far away from her while looking up at the sky. "Gue Males is the main character if not her female role. Where should I hear the girl I don't like." He plucked some flowers, squeezed them together and threw them into the pool before his eyes. "What if we run away?"

The fish in the pond approached the Azka-throwing flower, swallowing it but not food. Spontaneous Vita reached into the pocket to take a piece of bread, split it into pieces, throw it into the pond until the fish scrambled.

"I don't want to run away."

The five-minute answer left Azka unsatisfied. "Why? Don't you mind too?"

"Whatever is done and broken, it has become a responsibility, the one who runs away is no more than a loser." Implied the wound when Vita said it.

"Lo ever hated people for what he did?" Azka asked curiously while looking at the pool, guessing Satya's position in Vita's heart.

"I'd be sorry if I said no. Because right now, I still hate myself."

Azka was stunned to see a tear drop suddenly dripping from the Vita fertilizer, slightly not expecting the girl to show her tears. Tears that contain sadness. During this time he closed his pain tightly, hid the fragility of many people, regarded pain as a friend even though it was always invaded with malignant wounds.

Azka did not know how Satya treated her, but when she saw the incident in the park, she understood Vita's suffering. He understood the burden that Vita was carrying. But Vita, doesn't hate Satya at all.

"There's no particular reason to beat yourself up. You just don't understand your pain."

"The problems in life don't come because of others. All the mistakes, it's because of me. My own fault, I don't even pantes live anymore." He was as unwilling as he was, a bundle of shadows appeared in his mind. Makes Azka confused about what to do.

"Understand yourself, Vit. Understand your heart. Maybe not regret the answer but a lesson." There was nothing Azka could do but speak, she could not give a hug or a pat on the shoulder as a sedative. All he could do, was accompany Vita during the crying.

...🍂🍂🍂...

"Woi! Where'd you come from?" Reyhan in his chair was playing a game, glancing towards the door, precisely at Azka who had just arrived in class when it had been fifteen minutes of rest hours had passed. He sat in his chair— next to Reyhan— with a blank look.

"Guess who my co-star is in the pension later?" The girl behind him chapped with a big smile.

"Who?" suhut Reyhan ogah-ogahan, stay focused playing.

"Azka!"

"Well? That son of a bitch?"

"So my Papa, muehehehe."

The one inomongi immediately appeared from behind the door, walking towards his seat next to Meisya. When he passed Azka, he squinted hostile eyes, Azka replied with the same gaze. As there were flashes of lightning and rumbling, the nuances instantly turned gripping.

"Why have you been pouting with us lately?" Reyhan nudged Azka's elbow, unembristled, even the black-collar guy was busy opening the backpack to pick up the book.

"You know, right?" Suddenly Satya asked loudly. I don't know who. It's a question mark for Reyhan and Meisya.

"If I knew why?" Now Azka made a loud noise from her chair without turning around. "Fearful?"

A small laugh was issued. "It turns out that you're so stupid to girls."

"Dibohin?" Azka's hands were tightly clenched. Do not know the suffering of Vita, do not know the burden that Vita bears, but dare to say so, even though the cause of all that is he himself.

"Lo thinks I'm that cheap? She herself is self-defeating because she is too in love with me."

The sound of teeth chattering was clearly heard, coming from Azka, her face flushed until it held in anger. It feels like giving a bogeman to Satya, but he realizes he does not have the rights to Vita.

"What are you talking about?" A foreign conversation. Not understood Meisya.

"Not talking about anything, baby. Just a flirtatious girl near the house, often seduced me with Azka. Look, Azka's affected."

"Oh, Siti's near your house, huh?" Reyhan replied, putting down his phone. "Gue also once blinked, anyway."

"It's so bad to be a girl. Tau aja Azka weak seduced. Which one is the guy? Tell me, let me teach you a lesson."

They continued to talk, not realizing Azka had been consumed by emotions, let alone remembering how Vita cried, and the perpetrator did not want to admit his mistake, even evasive. If Vita heard it, it was possible that her feelings would be shattered right then and there. Unable to hold back his emotions, Azka was forced to move out of the classroom, melengos away when Bu Maira would enter teaching.
