[Mbak, no cello?] in the morning, after Riana finished her activities cleaning the boarding house, she got a chat from Mayang. While putting the broomstick on*eh, no, the floor broom back into place, he immediately replied to the chat.

[This afternoon selo. I'm going to the radio first, there's a meeting. Not papa tah? You need both of you to be the same - what?] Mayang is typing.

[If possible anyway, I want ramean, sak Vishnu, sak Muara, Ganesh same Mbak Hani pisan.].

[Weh, ono opo tho?]

[Ora mbak, would like to say something wae... Yowes later in the afternoon I'm not going to the boarding house.].

[Yo, no enteny.]

“Heh? Seriously Mayang want to go to your hostel?” tanya Muara, when they met at lunch time. It just so happens that Muara again has a job, and its location is close to the radio office where Riana works. So yes, I can meet.

“Yes, but not just me if he wants to meet. He wants to see the five of us anyway.”.

“Wiii, there will be a riot of opo iki ngko?” Nyengir.

“Hus, lek ndungo you know elek, hopefully it all ends well ngono youho, basic.” riana's ngono.

“Iya-iya, cantiiik. BTW, what is this? You haven't messen since?” ask Muara while flipping through the menu list in front of her.

“Not yet, I am waiting for you..” replied Riana.

“Ealah... Sorry for long... Yowes I pesen rice rawon iki ki, karo iced orange. What do you want?” tanya Muara while showing her order note to Riana.

“I don't soto wae rice, but drink it just like you, yes.” Riana said. Muara nodded. And that's how it ends. The next incident does not need to be mentioned yes, later the author is sued readers because they are on the baper. Hihahi.

Hanum was agitated in his room. Since returning home from college, he was told by Riana that this afternoon Mayang would visit their boarding house to convey something important, he said. If from the smells, like who want to discuss this is super serious anyway. And Hanum always fidgets himself if there wants to be a serious discussion like this. He recalls the events of a year ago, between himself, Ganesh, and his ex. That event, a year ago, a few days before the age of 20 years. Yep, right. The days of his journey to the age of 2 heads were not at all easy. But now, the girl was able to remember him with a smile. Because of the obstacles that he had passed through, it turned out to lead him toward a happy path that he had never thought before.

“Yeeee, win againiii!” the Muara's shout that managed to defeat Riana in a card game surprised Hanum who was engrossed with his own thoughts. Duh tuh people two, there is no tension at all, even on the mojok, whereas, soon there will be a bloody event you know.

[Nesh, kowe ki nang ndi tho?] write Hanum on a short message, complete with a pouting face emoticon that perches three seeds at the end of a sentence.

[OTW, pretty... Patience yes, this is me taking an online taxi, Vishnu belom stable, belom dare to bring a motorcycle he said. But he came along, right as you said with Riana earlier.].

[Yes, really. Why is my feeling not good?] Ganesh is typing.

[You like overthinking... Udah, focus on Mayang with his Vishnu, not to the problems that will occur later. Very habit.].

[Yes-yes, ah, don't nag. Wes press ngendi kowe?]

“In front of your room, mbak..”.

“Eh camel warts! Geez Ganesha Dwi Pradanaaaaa.” Hanum reflexively jumped off the top of the mattress while putting his phone – with trembling hands, on the table. After that, he opened the door, and dragged the guy all out.

“Ampun mbak, ampuun... Oweeeeeekkk..” Ganesh said as he slowly removed the girl's hand from her ear.

“For you that is yes, so nosy!” exclaim Hanum.

“Udah, ah, don't nag. Come forward, I bring the moon, tuh.” said Ganesh while rubbing his ears.

“Okeee, ready... Thanks, my cutes,” said Hanum girang while once again pulling Ganesh's ear.

“Satuuuu again there are models like Mbak Hanum, I can be a rabbit, his ears stick up and keep long!” gerutu Ganesh hurriedly caught up with Hanum who was just laughing. Yes yes yes, everyone will have “love language” aka different love languages. Who knows how Hanum must be that bar. Patient ones, Nesh.

Mayang sat in the middle, among the circle of children who had been waiting for him. He rubbed his face that had been flooded with sweat. He thought that maybe the decision he made was wrong. But a moment later he thought again, that in any case, all this should be resolved immediately.

“Te-Friends...” Mayang broke the silence.

“Speak, May..” Riana's word softly.

“Thank you, Ms. Riri. Or back then, Miss Riri, because back then, mbak was my teacher at SMA..” Mayang smiled, then fixed his sitting position.

“Before I want to apologize first, because it's been two weeks I told you from all of you... Including, you too, Nu... I want to apologize..” said Mayang slowly, while staring at one by one the people who were there. He watched their expressions. But there is nothing strange, it's just that, they can't wait for the continuation of the story or the explanation of the next Mayang.

“I know, you sure know..”.

“Cafe Sakura, a few days ago. I know, Mbak Riri saw me fitting I just entered, continued Mas Muara as well, and... Vishnu. I understand that since then, I've been caught, and I have to get everything done.”.

“Who is he?” ask Vishnu coldly.

“You mean, the guy I was with at the cafe?” ask Mayang. Vishnu nodded. Meanwhile, Riana started clenching her hands silently behind the table. How can Mayang be this calm, even though his position has been clearly discovered, clearly also wrong. But why does he tell everything just like when someone tells his friend about the weather, the heat or the rain on that day. How did Hanum and Ganesh react? They also seem emotional, but are not shown. As much as possible they keep the expression to stay flat, so that Mayang does not panic and finish the story.

“He's Arvin, my parents' best friend's son. We also... Udah set to..”.

WHATS? Everyone was shocked to hear this. But Mayang did not pause them to be surprised any longer, as he resumed his words.

“Which you should know, I was forced to accept this matchmaking, for a reason... Perhaps this reason was too strange, too unreasonable. But it would all make sense if you were all in my position. You know Abhi mas?” ask Mayang in the middle of his story. Everyone was shocked and shocked. What was? Why was Abhi taken? What is the relationship between Abhi, Mayang, Vishnu and Arvin?

“You know how dear I am to Mas Abhi, and what I lost when my only brother was... Died. But two months ago, to be exact, when Ganesh, Vishnu and ra came to the house to preach, I saw Ganesh, like seeing Mas Abhi... Honestly I love Ganesh, very dear, even until this moment, until finally I know the figure of Mbak Hanum who is the lover of Ganesh's heart.” JG! That explanation surprised not only Vishnu, but also Ganesh and Hanum... While Muara and Riana are ordinary, because secretly they have their own analysis results, which they will say later.

“Honestly, I originally wrote Vishnu, yes because I want to deket the same Ganesh. But that stupidity led me to something that I had never thought of before, long ago, I was also comfortable with Vishnu. But after that, my heart split in two. One is for Vishnu, and one is for Ganesh. Honey, the Ganesh is tied up. So...”

“Stop...” says Hanum is weak. Riana patted the girl on the shoulder, strengthening her.

“Let Mayang finish first yes. Ma'am isn't believing in him because he's a student, but, you want clarity, right? You want everything clear right now, right?” ask Riana slowly. Hanum nodded. Now he leaned on Ganesh's shoulder, asking to be given strength. Ganesh clasped his hand as a gesture that the girl's request had been fulfilled.

“So that's it. As I thought, everything I'm currently doing is too wrong, I can't possibly let my heart settle in half at two different places. So, I'm sorry... For you, Vishnu, and you also Nesh. And Mommy Hani... I'm too bad, I admit it. You have always been good to me.”.

“Continue relationship all this same Arvin what is it?” ask Vishnu.

“I think only he can free me from this situation. I think with me moving away from you, I can also tell you how I feel about Ganesh. Please, understand my position. Loving someone who is bound is too painful for me.”.

“You do not have to feel I still pick you, since I saw your togetherness with the guy at the cafe, everything is done.” said Vishnu. He started to get emotional, and the estuary calmed him down.

“I know, I'm wrong here. Hence, I want to apologize to everyone.” Mayang began to lower his gaze, he began to not dare to look at everyone who was still encircling him. Mayang knew all this was wrong – no, very wrong. But what makes everything so much more wrong is, he continues to carry on all that, without considering the consequences.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” greeting greetings from someone breaks the silence. Riana immediately turned her head, and it turned out, it was Arvin, the guy that Mayang had told her about. BTW where does Riana know? Yes, from the girl's instagram post, the same from accidentally squirming the time hangout at the cafe.

“Waalaikum greetings, enter.” Riana said as she walked open the door.

“Excuse me mbak, I'm here to find Mayang, because he's wanted as his oman. Is he done?” ask that guy named Arvin that's polite.

“You wait here first yes, let me say the same Mayang,” said Riana coldly while hurriedly returning to the living room where they gathered.

“Honey, your new boyfriend is already waiting in front..” said Riana.

“Yes, ma'am, I have to go now. Looks like oma has been looking for me..” said Mayang slowly while tidying up his luggage.

“Be careful. He is the type of regulator, for a long time, he can ask for something more than should be the same you.” said Riana sharp. For some reason, he felt “bad feeling” about this Arvin. From his gestures, his types, he looks just like Rey. Yes, Rey. The figure of his mass.

“I say goodbye, and everything. Assalamu’alaikum.”.

“Waalaikum greetings.”.

“Mbak, don't cry yes... I still belong to mbak, god willing forever like that.” said Ganesh while bringing Hanum into his arms. In the boarding house Riana left five people, and they were still too speechless and in shock over everything that happened today.

“Yeah, can gini yes..” said Riana.

“Mbuh... Uh, you want to come with me? We are looking for food, already want 7 hours,” said Muara.

“Iya wes, I'm turning ae... Vishnu, Ganesh, Hanum, mbak stay behind papa ta?” ask Riana.

“Gak papa mbak, we are safe here.” said Ganesh slowly while still hugging Hanum who started to mess up because of Mayang's explanation just now. How is it, in part, why does it feel like a dejavu; as it once did. In the past, it was he who was bound, and then Ganesh entered the circle. And now what... Is everything...

“Mbak, don't think macem-macem. I am unfortunately the same mbak, I will fight mbak, so, please, try to believe me..” pinta Ganesh while continuing to hug Hanum. Although he could not see, but he felt the head of the girl moving in his arms.

“Gue did not expect, my love story could end as ruined as this yes.” said Vishnu while rubbing his face rough. Now at the boarding house the three of them live, because Riana went to find food with Muara.

“this is destiny, Nu. And what you should be grateful for now is, God immediately pointed to elo, what Mayang really is like. Just try if you guys nerusin this up to a year for example, and consider everything okay, opo yo not add loro, opo yo not add your column.” said Ganesh sage.

“Iya anyway, I agree... But, kasian tuh Mbak Hanum, he's like a traumatized it's the same situation like this yes.”.

“There hasn't been a year of him ngalamin kayak gini, same me..” lirih Ganesh.

“Iya, I still want the story. But if I can nitip pesen same lo, you take care of it Madam Hanum, the problem is, it looks like he is sincere unfortunately the same lo. I can see from the first time we met a few months ago that, how happy he was when he could touch you directly and intact, not hindered the HP screen again. And now, when the Mayang admitted everything casually about... Not by misuh po-o yo?” ganesh asked in despair, shuffling his hair.

“So by rek gak by, ngko diomelin same author again us..” Etdah buset, I know diem aja yaaa from earlier, even hit again. Yes, we have already told the story until here, yes...

“Eh, pardon mbak author, do not sulk..”.

Oh, oraaa, we'll see you in the next part later. Now, the author wants to do state duty first, yes.
