The most romantic place is the beach and the coolest place is the mountains. But, not many also among the people out there, who mention that; not the beach the most romantic place, because if someone writes the name of his partner in the sand by the beach, the, then there will be waves that remove it. Nor is the mountain the coolest place, because if without the presence of someone accompanying, it will not be that cool, said Tania.

Tania is a girl who is ordinary in the eyes of people, but very, very extraordinary in the eyes of Titan. Yes, he is the owner of the heart of Titan, able to make Titan feel something beautiful in his heart-falling love. However, Tania did not respond too much to that, but clearly Titan had given her a signal, just maybe Tania was waiting for proof of Titan's seriousness. Tania was just guarding her heart, so as not to fall into the wrong heart again, after a while he falls in the arms of Rayn-a student at the Kejora High School who is famous for her over-intelligence and playboy nature, or rather classmate Tania. Tania really took care of her heart, so as not to be hurt for the umpteenth time, the wound given by Ryan was still felt in her heart, that's why Tania doubted the feelings of Titan. Tania doesn't want to get hurt anymore. Maybe over time, if they are destined to be together accidentally, it will also trap them into feelings of love.

Sometimes God brings us to the wrong person before we find the right one. A broken heart is not the end of everything, nor does it make a person live in death, nor is it the end of one's world. There are many things that we do not know in this world, because God's plan is far more beautiful than anything that is most beautiful in this world. Just by being able to coexist with the people we love, it is much more beautiful. Although the blink of an eye of someone we love is also the most beautiful thing, when we can have it.

The day had changed, right at this break Tania had just arrived at the cafeteria with Queen-who was also her classmate, more precisely her colleague. Tania and the Queen were sitting on one of the chairs in the canteen. Like the others, Tania and the Queen ordered food and drinks to prop up their stomachs which had been ringing since the class. Yes, Tania's only close friend is the Queen, Tania makes the Queen not just an ordinary friend, Tania also makes the Queen as a place for her to pour out her heart - or can be called the Queen is a friend of Tania's confidant. The Queen knows everything about Tania, the Queen is a good secret guardian, and a best friend to Tania. But indeed, their friendship was established recently - more precisely when they stepped on foot in the eleventh grade. Yes, because at this Kejora High School, every new school year changes classes and randomized again. That's where Tania and Queen met in the same class, ever since they set foot in the eleventh grade and that's where they made a pretty good friendship.

"Tan, you want to pesen what? A nibble? Or a round tofu fried impromptu?" The queen offered to order Tania snacks, Tania chuckled at the Queen who spoke like a restaurant waitress.

"Gue wants to eat food," ledek Tania.

"Away. There's no time for jokes, Tania. I'm laper. Want to pesen what? I'll be pesenin. I can't wait to pesen tofu round fried impromptu five hundreds. Ah, sometimes love is just like fried tofu. Yeah, always a surprise." The queen was blabbering indistinctly, Tania just shook her head slowly.

"Love comes suddenly, without us knowing. But it doesn't have to be the same as round tofu, does it?" Tania.

"Yes, anyway. Yaudah, what do you want to pesen?"

"Gue wants to sign siomay. Water's a bottle, yeah."

"Aah, every day eating siomay, not bosen? I am aja bosen. But there is nothing more full than siomay. Want to eat meatballs, I do not feel good if you do not use the same sambel vinegar, if I keep using vinegar with sambel, loose-luck I will relapse. Eat bread, not full. Just yaudah, just siomay."

"Siomay is my favorite food. Don't be bored at any time."

"Jude-oah. Lo wait here. Let me take the plush." The queen walked towards the siomay builder, and Tania smiled faintly.

While waiting for the Queen to order siomay, Tania reached into the cell phone from the pocket of her school uniform. Tania checked her Instagram account. The social media account owned by Tania is only an Instagram account, he does not have a twitter account or facebook. Tania was a little surprised by the account Dila Restanti-who was none other than the Indonesian teacher at Kejora High School. The account tagged Tania in a photo post depicting an animated picture of HUT High School Kejora last year.

However, that's not what makes Tania surprised, there is an account called Titan Wirasena also who was tagged in the photo upload. Whether conscious or unconscious, Tania was interested to see the Titan Wirasena account. What the heck is uploaded from his insta story of a Titan, so he said in his heart. Tania looked at Titan accounts that had 920 followers, 0 followers, and 6 submissions. An account that looks lonely and haunted, containing 4 photos and 2 videos. Tania was even interested in seeing one of the videos with the caption; a cover of the song sewindu - the heartfelt, acoustic-guitar-that Titan uploaded in his insta story.

"Ah, the signal's blur." Tania shook her phone, as the signal in her phone suddenly weakened. Tania just sizzled softly.

"Hayo, who's lo?" Suddenly the Queen comes carrying two plates of siomay, and sits opposite Tania - only the table limits the distance between the two.

"Ah, no." Tania was nervous and put her phone in her school uniform pocket.

"Oh, yes, Tan, I want to say something to you. You know that, right? That's Deo Arilangga, my cousin. Tomorrow he's moving to High School. And you know, I'm surprised by Deo." The queen rambled with her mouth chewing the siomay bit by bit.

"Yes, I know. Deo's cousin lo who was at Pelita Bangsa High School, right? Was he surprised why? Naturally dong if he wants to move mah," said Tania.

"The problem is that he knows the Titan" explained the Queen. Instantly Tania who was about to devour siomay with a spoon, did not immediately so, because the Queen threw out such a sentence. Nope. It wasn't her words that surprised Tania, but there was a Titan name tucked in there.

"Titan?" Tania asked in surprise, The Queen nodded.

"Yes, Titan. Actually, if Deo knows Titan because Titan often fought against Pelita Bangsa High School, it was not strange. I suspect that too, Deo knows Titan because of brawls or because of bad things. But no, Tan, it turns out that Deo knows Titan because Titan helps him. I'm even silent a thousand languages hear all Deo's explanations." The queen explained in a soft voice and a seriously attached face.

"Everybody has a good side and a bad side. As bad as anyone, he must have a good side, and will not be bad forever. Uh, but, uh, what's Titan helping you with?" Tania was getting confused, and was actually waiting for the sentence to come out of the Queen's mouth.

"He saved someone's life, Tan. Deo said; if there were no Titans, it would have been divine."

"Seriously lo? Please, I still don't understand." Tania grew excited to listen to the Queen's explanation.

"My seriousness. So the story that Deo accidentally saw Titan again avoid the Brawl of High School Pelita Bangsa. Anyway, the brawl is related to Deby-girls who want to commit suicide. Duh, how do I obviously get confused. In essence, Titan has succeeded in fighting suicide that would be done with the Deby. Amazing, right?" The queen explained with a face as serious as possible. Tania was silent for a moment.

"What did Titan do; why didn't she kill herself?" Ask Tania.

"Hm."

"Hm why?"

"You are very excited, if you hear the name Titan. Be careful, he's the king of PHP." The queen spoke intensively and narrowed her eyes slightly to Tania.

"Ah, no, really. I changed my question; why would a girl named Deby kill herself? And what does that have to do with the brawl?" Tania dodged and switched the conversation by changing her question.

"If it's like a railroad track."

"Trail kayak? Meaning length?"

"Yes, long. Can forget the story of Love Fitri, deh." The queen was again busy with a plate of siomay and devoured it a spoonful after a spoonful.

"It's a real drama." Tania smiled faintly and shook her head slowly, and refocused herself on her food.

Dazed in Tania's mind, conscious or not, Tania smiled inwardly. Again he found another side in Titan. Even Tania likens that Titan is like a book with a bad cover and messy, but keeps a myriad of stories that draw the other side of a Titan in it, which even the world does not know. Now, Tania's heart is moved to know further the other side of a Titan, if even Titan wants Tania to be his friend, then that very second Tania will answer; yes, that's it, i wanna. Is it just being the friend Tania wants to be? If Titan wants Tania to be his lover, will Tania want to? I don't know. Tania still could not understand what she was feeling right now. If God sends love in Tania's heart to Titan, then Tania believes in a love destiny that does not have to require an invitation to be present in one's heart. Titan is not a guy who is so bad, only he has a character and nature that is not grandiose.

"Oh, yes. HUT our school will stay a month again, after yesterday's ceremony, our school will be fitting the HUT show want to make a drama, yes. By the way have asked Bu Dila not yet, the drama story is like what, what genre, and whose players? It's a month away" Tania said.

"Udah. I'm just doing it."

"What's he saying?"

"Bu Dila will lift the story of Jonathan's work to be displayed at the HUT event later," explained the Queen.

"What's? Jonathan's? What's wrong?" Tania seemed to doubt Jonathan's ability to write. Because indeed, from the handsome Jonathan does not really describe him as a good writer, his absurdity sometimes often makes Tania frown.

Although indeed Jonathan is not Tania's classmate-or rather, Jonathan is Titan's classmate. Tania knows little about Jonathan's character, as Jonathan is also a member of the PMR. Even a few days ago, Jonathan borrowed a laptop on Tania, and Tania kindly lent her laptop to Jonathan. Of course, the Titan class is famous for its unruly students, plot and absurdities. But for some reason, Ms. Dila will actually lift a short story essay semester work by Jonathan to be used as a drama in the event of the Kejora High School HUT later.

"Yes. Short story by Jonathan, the guy who failed to meet it." The queen said casually, without caring what others looked at her like.

But it seems that at the other end, Jonathan heard little of what the Queen said. While Rian-friends Jonathan who had been sitting with his legs raised to the table-ala boss, with Jonathan in the chair on the north side there, trying to drive Jonathan to hit the Queen. However, Jonathan actually does not have enough courage to hit the Queen, the Queen is famous as a tomboy student, sometimes also her attitude frontal, the Queen is typical of people who say yes, yes, no yes no, not even afraid of anyone - as long as he acts in the right position. Even so, the Queen is among the students who excel in school. Therefore, Jonathan did not run over the Queen, he merely echoed petty innuendos. Sometimes there are many out there who use insinuations as their powerful weapons against their enemies.

"Well, my ears are hot. Handsome people are always talking from behind," said Jonathan. The queen turned to Jonathan.

"Woy, who's talking about elo from behind. I'm talking blatantly here. Samperin here, don't make insinuations to knock down opponents, yes. Cemen very lo. You guys fail to show," maki Queen. While Jonathan just clucked irritably without doing anything.

"Udah, Queen, that's it." Tania.

Queen and Jonathan do have their own story why they look like arch-enemies, even often do not get along if the two are met somewhere. Yes, there is tragedy in the story of Jonathan and the Queen. When the tenth grade, they were classmates, had been good friends too, but when Jonathan accidentally found a diary book under the Queen's desk, and Jonathan accidentally read the diary, he thought it was a book of duty or something. And yes, the Queen was really angry at the time, which is where their relationship stretched. Moreover, Jonathan--who has a hobby of writing it, never wrote the story of the Queen in the Queen's diary, of course the Queen is increasingly upset, he does not want his personal things until it is known to many people.

"Here you dare! Don't take cover as satire, yeah. It doesn't work for me!" The queen challenged Jonathan. Changing his standing position facing toward Jonathan-who was about two meters away.

"Who's crazy, anyway?" Jonathan dodged, with a face held in fear.

"Pake nagged again lo. You guys failed to fuck!" Maki Queen.

"The queen has already." Tania.

"But, Tania, I'm the innate one just look at her face."

"Yes don't look at her face" Tania whispered as she slowly pulled the Queen's elbow.

"Tau lo, Queen. Don't hate me so much. Later ragag new love tau tasa," said Rian with his leisure.

"What the hell lo, just connect it like a bluetooth cable! You jendrian!" Maki Queen. Sometimes the Queen is frontal, she is more emotional, and the type of person who is difficult to dampen emotions.

"Nature! I just found out that Bluetooth has a cable. I'm called jendeRian anyway. Bah, my singles even in the shoes of the jointsRian. You don't know who I am? I'm Rian Asep Siregar, the mongrel kid. Somehow you're gonna say I'm with Brian. I told you you were my father! Let's get you proposed to me later, let's not put up with Ryan again like you said just now. Because come to think of it, you're beautiful, fit to be my life partner." Rian blabbering is not clear, even the bat logat came out, but sometimes he also often use Sundanese when he was angry.

"Ck! You're both like a cockroach with a hello kitty face!" Maki Queen.

"Queen, yes. We're going to class, yuk." Take Tania, pull the Queen's hand slowly. Then the Queen pointed to Jonathan and Rian.

Tania pulled the Queen's hand slowly. Take the Queen to leave this canteen. Sometimes, the Queen is quite frontal, she really does not like Jonathan, because Jonathan has read the entire contents of the Queen's diary, and Jonathan already knows, if the Queen ever liked Rayn Mahardika. The Queen does not like it most when it comes to personal matters or all about her heart and feelings there are people who know it, except someone she strongly believes. Yes, the world is struggling with that story-that's it, some have a happy story, some have a bitter story. Everyone does have problems in life, but for the Queen, her biggest problem is an unrequited feeling of love. Does Tania know about the Queen who once liked Rayn? Yes, of course, Tania knew about it because Jonathan had been secretly spreading the news - it had become an open secret.

But just a few steps Tania and the Queen walk to pass from this canteen, Rayn suddenly intercepted Tania road.

"Hey, Tania," said Rayn, in a seductive tone while blocking Tania's path.

"What do you want?" Tania asked nervously, looking at the Queen - with her face down, standing to Tania's left.

At once the Queen turned silent, mute, noiseless, she even looked nervous, no matter what the Queen was feeling, no matter what she held in her heart. Only now, the Queen will only be a statue that is silent a thousand languages if face to face with Rayn. Yes, of course, even the Queen knows that Rayn always annoys Tania. However, the Queen believes, Tania has absolutely no feelings for Rayn, perhaps ever, but now Tania has erased her feelings of admiration for Rayn - after knowing Rayn's character like that. However, love is blind to the Queen, until this moment the Queen still likes Rayn.

"Tan, I'm going to class first," the Queen's like shying away from Rayn. She fears that her feelings are getting out of control with Rayn.

"Why? You nervous about meeting me face to face?" Sindir Rayn as several steps the Queen walked past. Deg, even the Queen without any sense of power to turn her head to her right-side-to just turn her head towards Rayn.

However, the Queen resumed her steps without caring for Rayn. His feelings are mixed. Rayn already knew that the Queen liked her since she was in the tenth grade. Rayn knew that of course from Jonathan. Jonathan was that bucket. So it is not strange that Titan once called Jonathan the capital of infotaiment.

The Queen has already passed to class.

Rayn is still blocking Tania's path. Tania took a step to the left, Rayn blocking him. Tania took a step to the right, Rayn blocking him. Tania was clucking softly, Rayn was really upsetting her heart. I don't know what Rayn wants from Tania, why Rayn always bullies Tania? Or maybe Rayn still loves Tania? If indeed Rayn still loved Tania, then it would be useless, Tania already had no feelings for Rayn.

"Lo memenin I eat, yes," said Rayn smiling thinly.

"Gue ate."

"But I want you to eat me."

"Lo can't refuse."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why can't I refuse?"

"Because the more you refuse me, the more I pursue you. Sometimes it always makes my heart grow. I think it just feels like that for me. Yes, just for me," explained Rayn.

"Sorry, I have to go to class." Tania also switched the conversation, and stepped her feet towards the east-to-class direction.

"Gue's not done talking." Rayn says slowly, and manages to hold Tania's hand - making Tania's steps stop.

"No need to talk about it anymore, Rayn. I don't want you to act like this to me. You can get any girl you want, but sorry ... My feelings for you are normal." Tania releases Rayn's hand, and returns to step foot-away from Rayn.

Ck! Rayn hissed softly, while watching Tania's increasingly lost back in her sight. Tania's treatment of Rayn makes Rayn think; she must plan something to get her attention back. But it seemed that, no matter how much effort Rayn would make, it would not pay off, because Tania had already convinced herself not to fall into Rayn's arms anymore, the other reason was; because of Tania's close friends, the Queen loves Rayn sincerely. Tania even often heard the Queen's outpouring of heart that really admired the genius Rayn. In fact, the Queen does not care about Rayn who bears the nickname playboy at school. Sometimes love is that million. Especially now, the Queen is united in one class with Rayn. The Queen used to just admire from afar, because Rayn's existence was as popular as it was in this school.

***

After a few hours have passed. Finally, the sacred bell home from school rang. The boisterous sounds of students from various classes began to be heard beating the national team supporters. Kejora High School is famous for its students who are most excited if they hear the bell home from school or when the teacher cannot enter the classroom to teach. Are other schools the same? I don't know. In this city of Bandung, Kejora High School does not include favorite schools, nor does it include outcast schools. Standardised.

"Tan, I go first, yeah." The queen took her foot out of the classroom.

Tania just nodded and smiled.

Now, Tania's class situation was slowly starting to quiet down, all the members of the class rushed to go home. While Tania was still sitting in her chair. Tania slowly packed her books into a bag, after which, she reached back into her school uniform pocket.

"Kok I'm curious, the same video cover Titan," Tania said slowly. His gaze focused on the phone screen, while the thumb finger of his right hand danced over the touch screen of his phone.

Connection no!

"Yes, the signal is weak very much here."

Tania rushed to tidy up some of her books into the bag, and directly hooked the bag on her right shoulder. Without another word, without anything else, Tania sprinted lightly towards the outside of the classroom. Previously, Tania had never acted like that, perhaps this was even her first time she was so curious to know more about someone. The curiosity arose by itself, without Tania being conscious. Could it be that far from Tania's heart, Tania likes Titan? I don't know. Maybe in a video upload on Titan's instagram, made Tania interested to see it. Because all this time, Tania had seen the bad side of Titan more often, with bad rumors about Titan, and after yesterday, Tania realized that there was something special about Titan. Consciously or not, Tania slowly began to understand, because every trait, behavior, and character of a person who turns bad or has a bad image, it is certainly reasoned-including Titan. However, Titan was completely indifferent to the ravings of those who looked at him only more than trash, Titan did not care. Not at all. Because the Titans believe that life has a way. Why take care of other people's lives, if yourself is still a mess? So said Titan.

🍁🍁🍁

Now, Tania walked through the streets of the city. He chose to walk, because the distance of the school and his house is not too far, nor too close, if taken by public transportation only about fifteen to twenty minutes, to reach Tania's house. Look, Tania walks, but is busy playing her phone, sometimes she hisses slowly, because the internet network in her phone is often weakened. And, Tania's steps stopped immediately, as the network in her phone increased to 4G. Tania was silent for a while, when she saw the video. The video contains; Titan who is playing the acoustic strains of guitar while singing slowly full of the appreciation of the song sewindu from Tulus. DEG. In fact, Tania felt something strange in her heart.

"He's talented" Tania said very slowly, almost sounding like a whisper.

"Hey!" Someone suddenly snatched Tania's phone. Tania was shocked. Then, Tania hissed in protest when she found out who grabbed her phone.

"Ray! No turning!" Tania tries to retrieve her phone, but Rayn lifts Tania-so that Tania is unable to reach her.

"Unfortunately I won't go back." Rayn says songong.

"Nyebelin really, really! Balikin, no!"

"But I don't want to."

"That's a hell of a bummer!"

"Belgium!"

"What do you want from me, huh?"

"The question I've been waiting for the most. I want it simple enough, I want us to reverse it."

"But Rayn, I can't. Turn not my phone. If you don't want to go back, I'll scream" Tania threatened.

"Squeak away. Shouted and said that if I want to rape you, let us marry you. It's even good for me." Rayn said songong, his handsome face really looks songong, even Tania was very furious with Rayn's treatment of this reckless.

"If I wanted to scream, I wouldn't scream like that. I'll scream if you're maling!"

"Please shout if you dare."

"Nyeselin yes!"

Suddenly someone walked - not far from the position of Tania and Rayn. Someone was whistling casually, his relaxed style had indeed become the hallmark of the person.

"How dare you be a girl" the person slowly quipped, immediately Rayn turned to the person - feeling insinuated.

"Eh, what did you say just now?" Rayn asked with a dislike face.

"What, by the way, huh?"

"Ck! Plain soot again!"

"Titan?" Tania looked towards the person. Yes, that person is a Titan. Whether this was a coincidence or not, Tania actually felt that the world was that narrow.

"Not plain. If you are confused, turn back on his cell phone. Don't be a guy." Titan said casually, immediately it made Rayn put on an annoyed face.

"Lo don't interfere! And don't worry about my emotions! I even know who you are, Titan," Rayn's voice sounded slow but there was a lot of emphasis in that sentence.

"Gue is not ice mixed, who likes to interfere. Well, fishing anyway, if I want to also be able to fish in the pond, why should fishing emotions?"

"Lo's looking for my same problem, Titan." Rayn was getting upset, visible from the look on her face.

"My life is too much, why should I look for it? Now I'm asking, you turn on Tania's phone."

Ck! Rayn sighed softly, her emotions starting to get out of hand, but Rayn tried to remain calm in front of Tania. With a heavy heart, Rayn gives the phone to Tania. Afterwards, Rayn leaves with a small threat to Titan.

"Revelation, lo!" Threaten Rayn's affirmative plan. Titan just smiled.

After Rayn passes, Tania approaches Titan.

"You should not behave like this, you will definitely have problems with Rayn" Tania said.

"Everyone has problems, so it's normal in my life." Titan smiles.

"Yes but I-I-"

"Yaudah, you want to go home? I am anther."

"Our house is unidirectional, huh?"

"No, anyway. My house is east."

"So, why would you want to take me?"

"Gue peg you're safe."

"But--"

"Udah gapapa."

Titan goes ahead of Tania-walking southwards, towards the way back to Tania's house. Tania follows Titan, and tries to keep pace with Titan. Tania did not even know, what this attitude of Titan meant to her. Now, Tania walks next to Titan, occasionally stealing glances at Titan. Titan is so handsome. Besides being handsome, Titan knows how he behaves with women. Titan is a pretty good guard, he is a man who really appreciates women. Even Tania felt much safer next to Titan. Tania thought; it was certain that someone who obtained the heart of Titan would feel the happiest in this world.

"Lo's coming home on foot too?" Tania asked breaking the situation of silence between the two.

"Yes. If your next question is; why don't I use the vehicle, I answer; walking is one way I enjoy every corner of this friendly city of Bandung," explained Titan, his lips singled out a smile.

"Do you have a dream?" Tania's question this one is to lead to the video he watched on Titan's instagram. Titan turned a second towards Tania.

"According to you, does everyone have dreams?"

"Have. I'm sure you have dreams too, you're talented."

Titan smiles. Tania and Titan's footsteps seemed to swallow, because their chatter was so very interesting.

"Where am I talented?"

"Yes, you know."

"Do you have dreams?"

"Everybody has a dream,"

"That's my answer. And, a powerful way to realize dreams is ... Sleeps. By sleeping you can make your dreams manifest." Titan said in a joking tone.

"Rese lo, yes." Tania smiled, while gently hitting Titan's shoulder.

"Because to me, the dream is not very important. And it's never been in my dictionary. Because forever the name of the dream will remain a dream. If you have a dream, you have to have ambition. The ambition to reach the point of your perfect happiness, which you achieve in a simple way. Smile, and smile." Titan said casually, Tania smiled.

Connect ...
