Episode 20's

            Reta was shocked at midnight. Just now that he wanted to close his eyes, the sound of a door slam followed by the cry of someone calling his name from the outside, while making Reta afraid not to play. Plus, plus, there is no Aleta next to his house that makes Reta parno more if there are bad people who want to do reckless to him.

            Reta stepped slowly towards the door, trying to recognize the voice of the guy who kept calling her name from the outside. Sounds familiar, but the fear is so strong in him, making Reta still reluctant to open the door.

            “Reta, open! It's my... Bimo!!”

            Reta let out a long sigh hearing the name of the sleep bully. It is fitting that his neighbors no one dared to come out to just nibble him for making midnight noise, it turns out the owner of the contract who came to create a midnight commotion. Reta turned the key in the hole, and opened the door with an annoyed expression.

            “Could not be, do not like not have morals so gedornya!” Reta looks upset instead of playing, leaning against the door while folding both hands on her chest. His eyes glanced at Bimo who took a few steps back, snorting in annoyance with a flash of emotion in both of his eyes.

            “Mana Aleta?!” asked Bimo ketus who briefly answered Reta with a cynical smile.

            “Indeed I caught him, until I had to know where he was. No matter where he wants, but I have to care!”

            “Gue seriously, Reta!” Bimo is further irritated by Reta's answer. “Where is he, why is his door open while he is not inside!”

            “Gue says don't know ya don't know!” reta snapped as if unafraid of the famous tempramental Bimo. The two looked at each other, Reta still clearly saw the emotions in both eyes Bimo which instead of subsiding, even more heated up. Reta took a long breath. Instantly her memory was fixed on Biyan who was waiting for Aleta at her house when Bimo beat her up earlier this afternoon. Reta lowered her head for a moment, recalling all the events after Bimo had just left after being satisfied to vent her emotions on Aleta. Remembering Biyan who went straight out of the house and approached Aleta. Biyan's attitude that passed him just like that while holding Aleta, had made him furious instead of playing. Retan turned his gaze to Bimo who was still waiting for an answer.

            “Biyan!” the thrill that makes Bimo slipping. “Definitely him. After you came home, Biyan came out of my house and took Aleta away. Since then, Aleta has not returned let alone Biyan!”

            “Sial!” bimo wants to leave Reta. But his steps came to a halt as Reta's hand, clutching her. Bimo returned his gaze to Reta who was now smiling seductively.

            “Ngapain is bothering nyariin Aleta. Later tomorrow he will also return again,” said Reta who still smiles widely. Trying to get Bimo's attention to get distracted, not Aleta's. “It is not better loe wait for him here, in my house?” Reta let go of her grip, folding both hands while re-folding both hands on the chest. “Loe should know that I... better than Aleta.”.

            “Loe sure?” Bimo's emotions subsided which made Reta smile wide triumphantly. “How about a guy loe?”

            “Biyan?” Bimo nodded while raising his eyebrows. “Gue has no intention of accepting the person Aleta touched back into my life. Moreover, that person is my footwear. Loe think I love her?” Reta smiled cynically as she shook her head slowly. “Gue just makes it a tool to win from Aleta. I don't like Aleta getting everything.”

            “Include me?” ask Bimo.

            Reta shook her head, “Loe is different, Bim. Unfortunately both of your eyes are always closed to me. So you can't see that I... better than Aleta.” Reta again develops a seductive smile towards Bimo who starts to get caught up in her seduction. Bimo cleared his throat for a moment, pressed his right hand against the wall near Reta's head, then brought his face closer to her.

            “Loe sure, if you are better than Aleta?” bimo asked half a whisper.

            “You try?” reta asked Bimo with a nod of his head. “Come in and wait inside.”

            Bimo laughed for a moment, looked at Reta who first entered and then stepped both feet inside. Bimo pushed the door from the inside and turned the key until the sound of the key swirled from the inside.

            Tyaz—the neighbor to the left of Reta who had eavesdropped on the conversation, opened the door and came out. The spoiled voice of Reta calling Bimo that Bimo replied with a crisp laugh made Tyaz shake his head. She was completely convinced Bimo was inside, taking a deep breath and then went inside and closed the door again while grumbling alone about Aleta's fate that would be disappointed to realize her own boyfriend's attitude. Without Tyaz realizing, that the relationship between the two is over.

            Aleta opened both her eyes. A cold chill blew, waking him up and directing his eyes to a fan on the table near the door. Aleya swept a glance across the room, holding her head still dizzy, then got up slowly. Sitting watching every item in the not-so-large room, and stopping as both eyes caught Biyan's figure asleep on the chair right side of the bed. The distance between her and Biyan was only two meters, which allowed Aleta to see her face while sleeping so closely.

            Aleta smile. His memory goes back to the incident last afternoon when Biyan was present like a hero in front of his house. Without further ado, Biyan raised her body. Keep carrying him until passing the Reta that Aleta had seen, looking furious with what she saw. Aleta lowered her head, trying to imagine what would happen the next day. There will be two problems waiting for him, Bimo who now knows he has not returned home, and Reta who is angry because she considers her nemesis, managed to defeat him. Aleta took a long breath. The sigh that even made Biyan wake up and was surprised to find him already sitting on the bed. Spontaneous Biyan approached and sat down beside him.

            “You're sober, Al?” Biyan looked worried, touching Aleta's forehead trying to measure her body temperature that was last afternoon, had a high fever.

            Aleta nodded weakly, looking at Biyan who kept trying to notice her by measuring the temperature and checking the injuries on her body. Biyan's attitude attracts the feeling of haru in Aleta to make both eyes dewy.

            “Still, Biyan.”

            The soft tone of Aleta's voice, made Biyan stop checking her wound. His gaze shifted to Aleta who was now developing a smile. Wide but painful for Biyan. Biyan looked at him with pity, then gently rubbed Aleta's head for a few seconds, closing both eyes.

            “Loe penah nanya, what will I do if I know more details about Bimo's attitude is always rough with loe, right?” biyan asked Aleta directly answered with a slow nod.

            “Saving loe,” Further Biyan. “This is what I do now.”

            The tears fell unbearably. Aleta lowered her head, crying sobbing which made Biyan saddened by it. Both of them momentarily silenced a thousand languages. Only Aleta's sobs were now heard as the clockwork on the wall showed at half-three in the morning. Biyan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Returning rubbed Aleta's hair which made her raise her head directed her gaze towards Biyan back.

            “Loe is not alone, Al. I will always be there for you,” added Biyan without a smile on her lips as usual. “Although sometimes I can't be there when you need it, but I will be present when everyone goes ninggalin loe.” Biyan stopped her swab, lowered her hand and tried to throw a smile. “Sorry, I disappeared when you got beat up by Bimo. Not that I was afraid, but if I had gone ahead and tried to help, the impact was loe. Bimo will be getting angry and getting hit loe mercilessly.”

            “Loe wait for me outside?”

            Biyan nodded, this time her hand touching Aleta's right cheek which had bruised Bimo's punch. A moment Aleta whimpered in pain that made Biyan move her hand away. And gently, touch it back.

            “Why?” aleta asked with the lingering remains of tears. “Why do you care about me when everyone is, staring at me cynically?”

            “Because I believe, if what Bimo said in vidio is not true.” Biyan looked calm which made Aleta increasingly feel the comfort of being nearby. “Gue sure, you never sleep with him.”

            “If everything he says is true, is loe still there for me?”

            For a moment Biyan was silent. Not for hesitating to answer, but the stare that Aleta threw at him, making his heart hurt instead of playing. The wound that Aleta had been covering for many years, lately seemed to be clearly visible in both eyes. The strong Aleta, seemed to be getting weaker by the day. He was chaotic, he was slumped and he looked depressed which made Biyan try to re-channel the calm with her smile.

            “Gue will always be near loe. As I promised.. save you.”.

            Aleta's tears broke again. Biyan who was increasingly unable to see Aleta who was getting weaker due to crying, immediately hugged her. Biyan rubbed Aleta's back head affectionately. Aleta's cry that sounded like a time bomb that had been silent and now exploded uncontrollably, made her deliberately let Aleta continue to spill her burden through tears.

            Aleta herself was so comfortable in Biyan's arms. On one hand, the tightness in the chest that had been held alone, as if it was destroyed already when Biyan hugged him. And on the other hand he can't deny that he misses the days with Biyan. Aleta grew sobbing while remembering long ago, when she and Biyan were still laughing together before Reta was present teasing the two.
