Tiara: Queen of Boulevard
#97 Living Room
After the incident in the cafeteria, Ria did not say anything and left there with her best friend, Erni, bearing the shame she could not accept and forget it.
Arriving at room number 135, Ria with overflowing anger slammed the door immediately after her hand opened the door handle.
BRAKKK
Ria entered without thinking about anything else other than the embarrassment Tiara and Alda gave her.
Hearing the loud bang of the room door welcoming both eardrums, Erni was surprised instead of playing. He who was still locked outside could do nothing but sigh. However, Ria's action is already the action that he experienced a thousand times.
Three years is not a short time for Erni to get to know the character of her best friend when she is angry. But he who is just a friend does not have the right to be able to change Ria's behavior.
Erni finally entered the room after a few minutes of silence at the door. For a moment his eyes immediately found Ria sitting annoyed at the edge of the bed. He then walked carefully and approached Ria without making a sound.
Erni wanted to ask how Ria was doing because she was worried. But he also became reluctant to ask if the anger had not completely subsided. This caused a long silence between the two.
"Ri Ria, are you okay?" Erni's voice sounded soft yet full of worry.
Hearing the question, Ria became very angry. He meant that Erni's concern for him was just an insinuation because he was humiliated in front of everyone.
"What's wrong? Hah, it's true that you have it." Ria snapped at him making Erni tremble in fear.
"You see how they humiliated me in front of everyone? Just so you know yeah, all my life I've never been humiliated like that." He said with a sharp look on Erni.
"Ri, uh,..." Erni's cry was refuted directly by Ria.
"Nobody who knows me would dare to treat me that way." Ria said with annoyance.
"I hate Tiara. I will not remain silent and I will avenge all their deeds against me today." His words ended his frustration.
Erni was silent for a moment. He could already guess if Ria would not take everything for granted what else she had humiliated in front of the crowd.
But regardless, Erni could sense that Tiara was not someone who was easy to ignore. He had to warn Ria not to act foolishly without thinking about the risks that awaited him in plain sight.
"Ria, you better forget what happened today, Dad? She is a Tiara, do you understand what I mean?" Erni said commemorating Ria.
"No want! What if he was a Tiara? He became popular because he got a perfect score other than that he was nobody." Ria refused the warning.
"Ri, I beg you. You better hear what I say." Persuade Erni who was clearly not accepted by Ria.
"No want! Once I said no yes no!" Snapped Ria once again.
"You don't have to think about me. If I ask Gerald for help, I'm sure Tiara can handle it easily." Said Ria quite confident in her decision to trust the person named Gerald.
Hearing Ria's words, Erni could only shake her head, trying to understand the desires of her best friend.
"You want to ask Gerald for help?" Ask Erni. "Ri, it's actually an easy matter if you want to forget what happened. You don't have to involve Gerald in every problem you do." Erni tries to give understanding.
"Why can't I involve Gerald in every one of my problems? Anyway I'm Gerald's girlfriend and I should have asked him for help." Ria said questioning the meaning of Erni's words.
"It's not Ri. I just don't want you to stand idly by on Gerald. It's true Gerald is your girlfriend but you also have to be able to study independently." Evidently. "Take care of all your problems yourself. If indeed you can't handle it anymore, please ask Gerald for help including your father."
"Have kept your words. I'm gonna change clothes." Ria answered dislike whenever Erni brought up her father's name.
Seeing how Ria's attitude responded to him, again Erni could only blow her long breath.
"Yes yes sorry. Yes, you've been through,.."
Erni's words had to stop because the ringing of Ria's omniscient little thing was heard on all sides of the room.
Finding who called her, Ria's previously disheveled face returned to normal in an instant. A sweet smile instantly appeared by itself from her rose-red lips.
"Hallo darling..." Said Ria spoiledly to her lover of heart. Gerald called himself at the exact moment he really needed it.
Ria was finally swept away in her chatter without thinking about the whereabouts of Erni who was staring coldly at her without making a sound.
-----
Back to the cafeteria where after the incident, Abie's friends approached her to ask her how she was doing. The three of them showed their worried faces as if they were really worried about Abie.
"Bie, you're okay, right?" Ask one of them.
"I'm sorry, Bie, it's all my fault. If I hadn't pushed you so hard, none of this would have been possible." Add another one
Seeing how the three people were acting so pretentious to care for Abie, Alda felt disgusted and wanted to spit out their faces with the food he had eaten.
How not, Alda had felt astonished before because he saw they were just silent without doing anything to help Abie from Ria. If they really cared, they should have been the first to help Abie and not Tiara.
"Bie, let's order your food again." Ask him who pushed Abie earlier.
Not giving them any answers, Abie chooses to ignore the three roommates.
"Bie, are you mad at us?"
"If you're angry, just say it. There's no need for you to silence us like this."
"Yes. We're your friends. Is it because Tiara and Alda have helped you from Ria, that you don't consider us friends anymore?"
A fella? Abie sat in the slices hearing the word. He did not expect that people he considered friends would not help him at all as useful as a friend. They allow themselves to be humiliated and helped by others. Why does he still consider them friends?
"Tiara, Alda, thank you for helping me out." Abie ignored the three people.
"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know what my fate would be like after that." Continue again while releasing the breath that has been held in his chest.
Seeing how Abie ignored them, the three people finally left there in a fit of annoyance.
"Together." Alda answered who also represented Tiara because he knew Tiara would not answer such a thing from others.
"By the way it was your roommates?" Lia asked curiously as she felt a little annoyed at their attitude.
"Yes." Yeah." Abie replied disappointedly.
"Why do you want to be friends with people like them?" Ask Alda.
"Yes. What kind of friends they are, leaving their own friends in trouble without helping." Connect Lia.
Abie let out a long sigh when she found out that Lia and Alda were upset at the three people she considered friends.
"I have to be friends with them because other than them I don't have any friends anymore." Abie said with resignation.
"What's? Even though you already know them like that but still want to be friends? Said Alda glaring in disbelief.
"Yes, you can find another friend. There are too many Boulevar students here. Like me, Alda is also Tiara." Answer Lia.
Lia's words immediately quieted the atmosphere of the one table. Abie looked at Lia and Alda then followed them looking at Tiara who was sitting still while playing her phone.
"What's up?" Tiara asked her two best friends.
"What if Abie stays in the room with us?" Pinta Alda made Abie surprised to hear that.
"Yes. Tiara, please!!" Continue Lia pleading. Once again made Abie surprised.
"Abie you want to stay in the same room as us?" Alda throws a question at Abie which then makes Abie again surprised.
"A A Me?" Abie asked stammeredly.
"Yes you. Yes, yes yes." Lia pleaded so cute that Abie could not ignore her charm.
'Oh my goodness, please don't ask me about that. Of course I want to stay in the same room as my idol, but I'm afraid of Tiara. Ooooo...' Abie screamed in her heart.
"I am yes." Answer Abie surrender.
"Tuh Abie would. Come onl. Pity for a moment he went home to his room, the three-man's little boy will act." Alda's persuasion of Tiara made Lia and Abie hold back the laughter from hearing him insult the three people earlier.
"Alright, move your stuff now." Answer Tiara.
"Yes..." Lia and Alda.
"Ma thank you Tiara." Abie said nervously.
Actually without Alda or Lia asking, Tiara had intended to persuade Abie to stay in room 111. Recalling from his monitoring earlier, one of Abie's friends who pushed him on Ria did so deliberately.
Tiara also found the three of them laughing cunningly as long as Ria tried to humiliate Abie. It's just that Tiara is still waiting for the right time for her to ask Abie to stay with them. But because Lia and Alda agreed early, Tiara was forced to follow their will.
