This Is It?

Chapter 26: Awkward

I don't know why there was such a jarring feeling in my heart seeing Ardi languish yesterday. Is it because I can make other people feel my old life? Or is it because of a satisfied feeling like revenge?

Huh! At least, there are people who understand that my life has never been so difficult and suffered so much.

Today Ardi did not go to college. Every time he is faced with a problem, tomorrow he is reluctant to go to campus. He's very weak.

Maybe she's traumatized or still burning with shame. However, being laughed at by others in distress is heartbreaking.

True said people, people who are accustomed to living in ease and wealth are not strong enough to block the flow of misery. Is Ardi starting to give up? I'll make sure it's late afternoon.

I celebrated the victory over Ardi by treating all my classmates in the cafeteria. Sharing happiness is a way to increase happiness.

Indeed, it is too early to consider this a victory. However, I made this a trigger for the spirit that I should not worry about losing support. When the money is already talking, everything becomes more familiar.

Unfortunately. Mutia did not participate in this celebration. He said Metha was waiting for him at the boarding house. Metha just returned to Jakarta. Hopefully he leaves his problems in his hometown. I don't want to drift into the drama anymore.

Mutia's strange attitude I ignored for a while. Mutia oh Mutia, why is it suddenly so expensive? Is it possible that he has also been influenced by Ardi? The Muka Dua is indeed worth watching out for. But never mind, I don't want my mood to break. My mind had to stay clear to think about the next step.

“Gas, I noticed something different in you these few days?” Andy asked after we got out of the cafeteria.

Me and the others stopped their steps. Andy's question was meaningful. I can't say it wrong.

“What do you mean, Dy? I think I am the same every day. Nothing is different. Nothing has changed, I replied calmly.

I'm sure Andy's silence from yesterday was an observation of me. Among the four of them, Andy knows Bagas best. I always have to be careful when I talk to him.

“This is not like you usually are. Is there a story I don't know?"  Andy put on a serious face.

Did anyone divulge the tragedy that befell Ardi and his bike? I believe Tommy, Revan, and Leo have high loyalty. I can't be hooked on Andy's curiosity.

“What do you mean about the treaties of friends? Why do I do that?” Thinks. I need to get Andy's mind off quickly. “Ya... yes..... em. I am now part of my company. I want to celebrate it this way. That's aja. I don't think that's a strange thing, Dy”

“What the hell are you, Dy? Time of things like you think there is something different with Bagas. From the first Bagas his person is generous, kind, diligent saving, and not arrogant,” timpal Leo defended me.

Andy seemed dissatisfied with the explanation I gave. In fact, when invited into the car, he chose to resign. He said he had to go home because there was important business.

I didn't ask about his important business. Again, I better focus on maintaining my happy mood. Tomorrow or the day after, I'll take care of Andy's suspicions.

With Tommy, Revan, and Leo, I'm headed for the most hit hangout in the heart of the capital. It's on top of an office tower. Outdoor cafe with city views that spoil the eyes.

Youth is a time that should be enjoyed as best as possible. Because when the day changes and the age goes on, then the time can no longer be repeated. There is no need to worry about everything that can ruin a smile.

“Gue feels that Kunyuk is now lamenting his fate with tears, so he did not go to college. Haha…. Should have been yesterday we video-in him from the beginning up to his expression when his bike was cut into pieces. He must have gone viral. No shame so the parents of the Kunyuk,” explained Revan who looked so excited. He was endlessly highlighting the images of the city with his cell phone.

“Truly, Van. Unfortunately, I didn't think about it until then. I was too excited to see her suffering. All this time I've been humming (burying) a very sprain with him. After all, there are people alive like zombies. I can't socialize with anyone. After speaking, his voice grimaced like a pee. Haha...” Leo also let out a laugh into the air.

Can't socialize? Aren't you the ones who never thought of Ardi as the slightest friend? Oh, naw. I can't get carried away.

Meanwhile, Tommy focused on staring at the phone and danced his finger over the screen. However, he occasionally shared his opinion about Ardi.

The conversation continues to discuss Tommy, Revan, and Leo's anger towards Ardi. They say they have long wanted to prank Ardi. It's just that, their desires are always hindered by me (Bagas).

They denounced Ardi. They display a dislike for Ardi. They even want to bulldoze Ardi more than they do when in the faculty parking lot.

I know they don't like Ardi. However, I did not think they harbored a deep hatred for Ardi.

My little heart felt angry and upset. I don't understand their hate.

I don't think there's any trouble in their hearts. All this time, I have never touched or touched them.

However, I can't be obscene. I'm not Ardi anymore. Let them sing as they please.

Patience. As long as I still need their presence, I will try to hold back my emotions. All actions must be carefully calculated.

After rewarding Tommy, Revan, and Leo, I headed to the workshop where the Bapet was repaired.

Then, I take the Bapet myself to Ardi's boarding house. I wanted to see Ardi's face when he found out I was already getting rough.

Arriving at the boarding house full of gray aura, I immediately went up to the quiet room. I knock on the door and call the occupant who may be sobbing.

Ardi opened the door. He greeted me with cynicism.

“What are you doing here?” ask him without wanting to widen the distance of the door opening.

I'm smiling. “Okay, I'm to the point. First, I want to return the Bapet to you. Relax, he is now much more primed. I replaced some spare parts with new ones. Second, I want to nengokin you because you didn't go to college today. Honestly, I'm worried you why-why.”

“Basi lu!” aspir Ardi. “Your original habits turned out to be much worse than I thought.”

“What do you mean? You're talking about yourself again? Em, I can be a good listener for you" I said satirically.

Ardi came out of the room. He looks at me in flames. “Gue knows, you must have told Leo, Revan, or Tommy to destroy my bike. Sorry, I mean Ardi's bike. Why would I say that? Because the motorcycle was painstakingly bought by your father to make your mobilization easier here. You destroyed it. Bapet, my most loyal friend when no one wants to make friends with me. Poor thing about your fate, man. Destroyed by your own best friend.”

Ardi grinned. His words were mocking. He seemed to have read all my life records.

“Gue even wants to ask back to you. How does it feel to be Ardi after a few months? Fun or fun?” I pulled back both lips to throw a negative smile.

Huh! I'm actually tired of engaging in the same discussion over and over with Ardi. I better get home soon. At least I know his condition.

After handing over the key to Ardi, I walked to the workshop. My car was parked there alone with no friends. I deliberately didn't take Tommy, Revan, and Leo to Ardi's boarding house.

Passing through the front of the campus, I was surprised to see Metha walking with someone. That person was not Mutia, but Dita.

What other mystery is this? Metha with Dita? They look familiar. Then, get in the car that I saw as an online taxi. I don't care where they're going. I was just astonished by the appearance that appeared in the retina of my eye.

What's up with them? Have they never fought? Why are they getting close? Was their fight a camouflage?

Women if involved in disputes until a physical fight, usually not easy to mediate let alone become a coalition. Clearly, something is wrong with the proximity of Metha and Dita.

Uh! Unfortunately, I can't follow them to be sure.

Ardi influenced Metha's mind. Metha walks with Dita. Could they have a connection to each other? Meanwhile, I will pretend to be blind to uncover lies.
