The prom night event was very lively and decorated with smiles and laughter from the students who will soon take off their gray white uniforms. However, those smiles and laughter were completely invisible on the lips of the two cold youths who were none other than Bima and Bimo. The faces of both of them look tangled as if they are having a very heavy burden.
Bimo with his excitement saw Michelle who had been sticky with Bima, choosing to sit apart from the two people. Ayunda also sat separately and was accompanied by Tristan.
Bimo did see that Bima was not too enthusiastic when talking to Michelle, but still made the young man burned by the flames of jealousy. Having not been able to see the togetherness of his twin brother with the woman he loved, Bimo finally decided to get out of his seat and leave the room.
"Mom, I'm out first!" Michelle who saw Bimo leave the room, rebutted to Bima and immediately left without waiting for an answer from the young man.
Bima let out a sigh of relief when Michelle was gone. Actually from earlier the young man was eager to leave the place, because his heart and mind were busy at war questioning Ayunda's very confusing attitude. Then, after making sure Michelle really left, Bima also immediately moved from her seat and went out through a different door from the door used by Michelle earlier.
Meanwhile, Michelle was trying to catch up to Bimo who did have long strides.
"Bimo, wait!" Bimo suddenly stopped his steps, when he heard the call from the woman he had liked since childhood and immediately turned his body, turning to Michelle who was bored.
"What's wrong?" bimo's voice sounded extremely cold.
"Where are you going?" michelle asked after slightly managing to catch her breath.
"Wanna go home?" short, solid and clear.
"Why rush? isn't the show over?" Michelle scrunched her forehead.
"I'm lazy to be in there. Why are you here? aren't you being cool with Bima?" Bimo tried to suppress his voice trying to dampen his jealousy.
"You jealous?" hatch Michelle, investigate.
"I think you already know the answer. Or are you pretending you don't know?" sindir Bimo, smiled obliquely.
"Emm, how would I know? seriously, I really don't know,"
Bimo snorted and took two steps forward to get his distance with the girl closer.
"Why are you still pretending not to know, Chel? I'm sure you already know how I feel about you. You're not stupid to know how I feel, are you? everyone can see and know, there's no way you can't,"
Michelle was stunned, silent a thousand languages, confused how to respond to the speech of the young man.
"Why are you silent? are you really not able to see how I feel like you, or are you pretending not to look and not wanting to know because you like Bima?" cecar Bimo with a cynical tone.
Michelle grew increasingly silent at Bimo's words which she found difficult to answer. Michelle did not deny that
there was a happy feeling in his heart when he heard Bima like him. However, he is also not hypocritical if his feelings are not calm and feel unwilling when he feels like he is considered non-existent by Bimo.
"Bimo, it's not like that. I do know about your feelings, but__"
"Do you admit that you like Bima too? you two are both hypocrites, Chell. You know, if Ayu loves Bima and you just pretend to support her, the same as Bima who likes you but pretends to support me. I hate the way you two are full of pretense. You know, this kind of attitude you two have, it makes me feel like a fool, and you feel like you're feeling sorry for me. I don't need your pity!" concluded Bimo, who then left Tampa gave Michelle a chance to talk.
Without them noticing, Ayunda who had just come from the toilet heard all the talk of the two of them.
"So you like Bima too?" Michelle squeaked in shock and turned her head towards the person who had just spoken.
"Dark! when were you here?" michelle asked nervously.
"It won't be long, but enough that I can hear what you've just said" Ayunda kept smiling, even though he could not deny that his heart was now as if he was being squeezed to hear Bimo's words that were not at all refuted by Michelle.
"Yes, don't misunderstand me! Bimo just spoke. Earlier, I didn't have time to argue because she didn't give me a chance to explain, at all" Michelle looked very panicked, afraid that her best friend was misunderstanding the same as Bimo.
"Eh, it's okay, Chell! after all, even if you like Bima, it is no longer a problem for me, because I have decided to stop loving her."
Ayunda's words just suddenly made Michelle's eyes grow bigger, not expecting that the sentence came out of the mouth of her best friend who was known to love Bima very much from the past.
"Only, I suggest that you be honest with both of them, so that their relationship as brother and sister is not destroyed. Because if their brotherly relationship is destroyed, who feel pain not only them, but also Om Bara and Aunt Clara," continued Ayunda again, no matter the confusion that was clearly visible on Michelle's face.
"Yu, didn't I hear wrong? you choose to stop? but how can it be?" ask Michelle streak.
Again Ayunda smiled. "Emm, because I realized that before we love people, we have to love ourselves first, because we are so precious. I felt like it was time to give up and respect myself more,"
Michelle was really speechless, seeing Ayunda's change which was indeed too sudden for her.
"Yes first, Chell, I'll leave for a little while, I'll come back later," without waiting for a response from Michelle, Ayunda swung her legs past leaving Michelle.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Ayunda, getting out of the elevator and walking up the stairs to get to the balcony which she believed must be quiet, to calm herself down.
Yes, even though he was determined to forget his love for Bima, Ayu could not lie to his feelings if he still felt pain when remembering his love that clapped one hand at the man.
Just as her foot was stepping on the balcony floor, the woman was immediately startled by the figure of the man who was behind her. From his posture, Ayu knew clearly that the young man who had his back was the young man he wanted to avoid. Who else would that young man be if not Bima.
Knowing that, Ayunda immediately turned around and intended to leave the place.
"Where are you going?" Ayunda who almost stepped, suddenly stopped her steps, as soon as she heard the voice of Bima.
