The Substitute

Beachside

It hasn't been 2 weeks since the Ozan attack. The days passed as usual. Ozan has recovered, but since his discharge from the hospital he has never been out of the house. Hasan forbade it everywhere, given the sudden assault two weeks ago. Now Ozan is in the garden behind his house sitting on a park chair. Occasionally glanced at his phone. He was waiting for a reply to the message he sent to Naura. But an hour waiting for a reply, Naura had not yet replied to him. He was also upset half to death because Ozan is not a person who likes to wait. Ramon's arrival shocked him.

"Yet your daze again? " ask Ramon who sits next to Ozan.

"Would you like to come here?"

"Nengokin. You need a friend. What are you doing here? ask Ramon again.

"It's none of your business. "

"OK. "sahut Ramon reaya nodded his head.

"Gue wants to get out" said Ozan

Ramon laughed at Ozan. How could Ozan still think of wanting to get out of the house while danger still threatens to be out there.

"Don't mess around with you Zan, there's not always an angel who can help you if there's anything out there" said Ramon, who was upset by Ozan's behavior

"Bodo is very. "he said, Ozan glanced annoyed at Ramon who felt like Rudi and Hasan.

"Eh... Zan don't be stubborn. You know what happens when you get out of the gate. The big master can rampage, me and the others can be hit if there is nothing on you. Do you think we're going to die once? " snap Ramon

"Whisper you like a parrot. "

"Bodo. " Ramon turned his face while his hands were crossed on his chest.

Finally Ozan did not come out and just chat in the park with Ramon.

The final school exam is over, indicating the struggle of the students for three years in the High School period has been completed. They are waiting for the graduation announcement. Ameera and Rangga were relieved, after a few weeks before the exam they spent time studying hard, so now they can breathe a sigh of relief . They also celebrated their success in facing the final test of school with a walk, eat and watch. As usual, they are like a couple dating. Ameera did not even have any friends other than Rangga to celebrate.

In the afternoon they headed to the beach, as was their custom all this time. The beach is a silent witness where they often spend time together. While waiting for the sunset view, they walked together on the beach barefoot, the sweep of the waves soaked their feet, while chatting excitingly and occasionally the sound of crisp laughter was heard.

From a distance they look like very romantic lovers. Rangga several times invited Ameera selfie ria. Sometimes Rangga photographed Ameera without Ameera noticing.

They also sit on the sand facing the sun and enjoy the beautiful sun that will set. Rangga looked at Ameera who was looking at the afternoon sun without blinking.

"Lollypop's... "

"Hmmm..."

" What do you have after graduation?" asked without taking his eyes off Ameera's face, while Ameera kept looking at the sun that was about to set.

"You moreover, the lecture must be. "the answer is short

"In the country?" ask Rangga.

"You think you're that rich dad until I get to study abroad?" sahut Ameera's.

The girl did not know, even her father was more than able to finance her education wherever Ameera wanted given her father's high position in the Chandra Jaya Group company.

"Why ask that? Don't tell me you're going to study abroad!" Ameera.

Rangga was silent for a moment. His cheerful face turned serious. Ameera noticed a change in the look on Rangga's face.

"Papa wants me to study abroad, while helping his company there" he said, smiling bitterly at Ameera.

Rangga knew what his father meant and asked him to study abroad. One of them, keep him away from Ameera.

"Keep you want?"

"actually no. "

" why?"

Ameera snorted annoyedly at Rangga's words. It is true, all this time Rangga always take care of him.

"Can't I take care of myself?"

Yes, you cannot take care of yourself, you just do not know what dangers are around you. Inner Proud

"That's why you're looking for a girlfriend, so don't stay with me. "said Rangga while pulling Ameera's nose, shaking left right, so Ameera seemed to shake her head.

"I want to date with you, hahaha. "Ameera's words made Rangga laugh.

"I don't want to go out with you!" Rangga showed a funny face, while sticking out his tongue.

"Why really? I'm so ugly, aren't I?" ameera asked, she began to sulk with her lips pursed.

"Not that, no. I'm worried about your dad's heart condition, if we're going out."

"Haha... " Ameera laughed considering how incompatible Rangga was with his father, in front of Ameera they always fought when they met.

"So, there really is, the man who wants to get me? You always threaten them not to get close to me. " Ameera insinuates Rangga who has been limiting his association.

"That's because of everything you know you're a jerk. You should thank me for keeping you away from them ", concluded Rangga .

Rangga actually had another reason for threatening all the men who approached Ameera and only himself knew the reason.

"Keep, I have to find a girlfriend who how? As per my type or as per your type?"

"Whatever, the important thing is to take care of you." added Rangga.

"And only you can" he said with a sweet smile.

They looked at each other long and deep. A gaze that should be able to describe each other's feelings. However, it was immediately tepis by Rangga.

"So you want me to keep you that way, until I don't have time to date myself?"

"Bodo is very, not my business. " Ameera makes a funny face like Rangga did earlier. Makes Rangga very nervous.

"Basar kebo ugly." said Rangga while pinching Ameera's cheek with anxiety.

"You have Dina" said Ameera later. His face suddenly turned sad after mentioning Dina's name.

"I'm still waiting for the right time for Dina. I don't want to rush." said Rangga. "You're the first one looking for a girlfriend!" sama later.

"When I can have a boyfriend, you won't let me go anywhere alone! When do I leave the house alone without you? I went to the bathroom at the mall just you watch out for "long protests.

"I'm afraid you're going after lollypop, the memory in your brain isn't 1 GB." While gently pushing Ameera's forehead with her index finger. Makes Ameera snort in annoyance.

Rangga and Ameera were involved in a long conversation on the beach and still sitting on the sand. Sometimes the two laughed. From a distance, someone was watching the two of them. Ameera never realized it, but Rangga always realized it. However, Rangga never cared about the presence of some people who sometimes watched over them from afar.

Rangga glanced at the clock on his wrist.

"Udah yuk, go home. I don't want to be jerky with your dad because it takes you for a walk until night. " Rangga stood up and cleaned his clothes from the remnants of sand followed by Ameera. As she was about to walk, Ameera pulled her wrist.

"Wait.." said Ameera.

"Why?"

Ameera brought her body closer to Rangga so that they were facing a short distance away. Rangga gently stroked Ameera's hair and tidied it from the wind.

Hold Rangga... hold! Don't get carried away. Rangga.

"Udah yuk, go home." take Rangga. They joined hands to leave the beach with feelings hidden in their hearts.
