29 Eps. Advice for Rival

Rival turned his gaze in the other direction. Every time Sari's name is mentioned, it makes Rival very saturated.

"Eh, Val, elo why the hell from earlier like a mute emotion. Elo again PMS?" chirps Dival.

"Or ah! I'm the same girl! I haven't talked to him in a long time! So I don't know if he wants to be invited or not, which obviously don't ask me to make him!" murmur Rival.

"It's not that you're a class, but not talking at all. What's wrong, very strange," Jamal was astonished. "Rival, if you have a problem should be solved, let not prolonged. Elo kudu can handle it. What's the problem? Elo can tell me or Dival."

"Nh?" Rival just muttered while looking down.

Jamal took a breath, "Kalo elo don't want to tell a story either. Wait until you are ready, yes," he said, smiling.

Rival stared at Jamal and Dival alternately. He smiled, even if only a little. "Thanks to you both, and I'm sorry for worrying you. I've been pathetic," said Rival lethargic.

"Gue knows, and I don't want you to tell a story. But, at least elo willing to share with us what elo rasain, what problems elo face. Although we have different origins, we are friends. Let us know what is elo rasain at the moment. Who knows, we can also help solve the problem elo" said Jamal.

"What Jamal said, if you have a problem telling us a story, who knows we can both help, right. Don't take us both for granted, Val. If we can't help you, don't call us friends" added Dival.

Rival smiled slightly, "Yes, thanks for the support. I can't possibly involve you in my problems. Let me solve this problem. I know your intentions are good, and I want to help you. I appreciate it all, but I think that it is me who I have to come forward to solve my problems. You guys really, I think I should talk to Sari about this."

"Whatever the elo problem, better be clear soon. Besides Elo same Sari'kan one class, time he did not talk at all. What about Sari's response?" jamal.

"Gue also does not know why, I'm like this Sari. But he's not wrong. But, after I know if he knows my family problems .. I feel hate with Sari. It's like I blame Sari, but Sari doesn't know anything!" Rival rubbed his face violently.

"You can tell, if you have any problems with Sari?" ask Dival again.

Rival was silent for a moment, "I'm basically the one who started. I've been acting annoying in front of Sari without telling her the truth. Well, you could say it's my fault, and he has nothing to do with the problems I'm facing."

"It's good that you immediately talk about this matter with Sari, let her not misunderstand. I know elo must have a reason, why elo like that to Sari. I'm sure you can deal with this, Rival," Jamal said.

"Maybe you're real," he said languidly.

After the meeting of the three of them was over, they returned to their respective positions. Rival came home because that was his goal. He deliberately spent his time outside after school.

Dival himself went home and after that went to his shop Uncle Syahril.

While Jamal came to a place where his friends used to gather. There Jamal tells Razy the info he got about those who were performing on the show. When they heard the news, they all looked very happy and enthusiastic. They look so excited when they find out that their band will be performing in public. And, everyone decided to train hard to show their abilities to others.

In addition, there is another purpose Jamal. Namely, Jamal wants to improve his relationship with Dico which has been a few days feels stiff and awkward. And, it seems that Jamal's plan for that was successful, evident when Dico agreed to Jamal's request.

And it seems that Rival also kept his promise that he would talk about his problem with Sari. That day after school they decided to meet at a cafe they had promised before. But, they went home first to change her uniform.

Now Rival and Sari were sitting opposite. Quiescent. Stiff. Lousy. Silent. Without any sound. Confused about where to start the conversation. Whether it was Rival and Sari herself no one has opened their voices. Until the order of the two of them came to the table, they still did not flinch in the slightest. Even the waiter who brought their order was astonished, because since entering the cafe, then ordering drinks, until their order came, no one intended to open their mouth. The waiter noticed the two of them.

"Mas, Ma'am, another fight huh? From diem-diem bae?" ask the waiter while putting drinks on the table.

"Diem deh Mas!" sahut Sari and Rival almost simultaneously.

"Wow! Compact!" the waiter chuckled, amused at the sight of his customers.

"Oh, I don't have to go!" sari said exasperatedly, and probably salting as well.

"Pepet is better, Ma'am, Mas. It's not good to fight for a long time with a boyfriend."

"He's not my girlfriend!" again Sari and Rival answered simultaneously.

While the waiter even more amused and scattered. "Sorry, Mas, sorry ... you guys have run out of it. 'I am curious. Yes already, please drink. Don't fight anymore huh, Ma'am, Mas," said the waiter then left two lovebirds who were racing who were strong to keep quiet.

Sari and Rival fell silent again. No one wants to start a conversation. Even until their drinks were empty the atmosphere was still awkward. Finally they came out of the cafe, when the situation outside had started late in the afternoon. It didn't feel like time was passing so quickly without them noticing.

They decided to walk. They walked together, in silence. Sari was waiting for Rival to speak, while Rival was busy paying attention to his surroundings. There Sari began to feel bored. For a long time he was annoyed, irritated and bored by him. Though Rival invited him to meet, but why Sari was even in pecans. Sari started to fall off.

"Rival!"

"Cari!" call quickly. "Gue wanted to apologize" he said later.

"Did?" Sari wonderfully knit her eyebrows. "So, can you talk? I guess not! I guess you forgot I was here! Holy hooch! Crazy time yes, from earlier I was in pecans! I've been stuck here for a long time, you know!" Sari's upset.

''Sorry ...."

"I'm lucky to be patient, so I'm used to ngadepin people like elo, huh!"

Sari did not accept if she was ignored like that. Yes, Sari had been holding herself back so as not to get emotional in front of Rival.
