Demian further eroded the distance and kissed Lia's forehead. At the same time Arvan came to open the door.
"sorry. Looks like I came at an inopportune time." Arvan retreated his steps and was about to close the door again. But his steps stopped when Lia called out to him.
"Van, comein. It's not what you think." Lia tried to clear up the misunderstanding.
"It's just like you think. I like Lia. Even though Lia said no, I'm sure one day she'll accept me. "Jawab Demian with great confidence.
"I like him too. We can compete healthily to get it." Arvan is no less confident than Demian. He decided to express his feelings that he had been feeling.
Meanwhile Lia was massaging her forehead which was not dizzy from being trapped in this kind of situation.
"You want Lia's apple? I'll peel it for you?" Bargain Arvan to Lia.
"No, thanks. I'd like a drink." Answer Lia.
Arvan immediately took the mineral water for Lia. But he lost first to Demian.
"Drink." Demian thrust out the mineral water that his seal had opened first.
"Hey, hey. You cheated. Arvan said with a grouchy face.
"Have no fuss, I want to rest." Lia tilted her body and slept her back to Demian and Arvan. He just pretended to be asleep.
Do I deserve to be fought like this? I'm just a girl with so many flaws.
Lia is monologuing in the heart. He was so afraid to think about his future. All he wanted was to be simple, be able to live normally and see his family happy.

Week pass. Lia had already come home from the hospital and was back doing her routine.
"You just recovered, don't go to the shop first." Pinta Amira with obvious worry on her face.
"I've been healthy buk, Precisely my body aches all if just stay still at home." Lia gently rubbed the back of her mother's hand and assured her that she was fine.
"You are stubborn. I let you but promise not to push yourself too much. If you're tired of resting."
"Yes yes." Lia kisses Amira's hand and says goodbye. Arriving at the terrace he found Demian was sitting while playing his phone
"You. What do you want to be here so early?" Ask Lia full of search.
"Introduce you to work." Demian replied as he moved from his seat.
"God. The distance from my house is only two hundred meters. And you came all the way from the city limits here just to take me to the shophouse?" Lia shook her head.
"What's wrong?" Demian replied with a grin.
Not long after the appearance of a classic black car stopped in the courtyard of Lia's house. He is Arvan.
"Hey, what are you doing here, boy." Ask Demian.
"I want to take Lia to the shophouse." Answer Arvan.
"Lia will go with me. You should have gone to college there. Learn the hard." Demian.
"Don't listen to him Lia. I have no class today. He's too old for you anyway." The protest Arvan did not accept was told by Demian.
Lia rolled her eyes lazily and walked away leaving both of them.
Arvan and Demian followed Lia and left their car there.
Lia walked while looking back.
Gosh darn. They have absolutely no work. They are really like kids. Not in accordance with his heavy body. Inner Lia.
Arriving at Demian's shophouse stepped wide and preceded Lia. He opened the door for her.
"Please sweet lady." Demian said with a slight bow.
Of course it made the three Lia employees whisper to each other.
"You're going back to Switzerland?" Lia asked with a bit of surprise.
"No. We'll meet virtually."
There was some relief in Lia's heart. He felt at peace if Demian was nearby. The more he brushed aside his feelings, the more claustrophobic and painful it became.
Lia is at war with her own mind. If he avoided Demian, his heart would be slashed. But if he opened his heart to Demian, he felt he would not be able to make her happy. And the disease he is suffering from today will always complicate Demian's life.
"Go away. There's me here who'll accompany Lia." Arvan cast Demian out subtly.
"Be careful Lia. Don't be fooled by this boy's innocent face." Demian responded to Arvan casually.
Lia covered both her ears with her hands. "Stop! Don't start again. Can you guys get along for a second? Lia.
"No." Arvan and Demian answered simultaneously.
After Demian left, the three Lia employees approached Lia enthusiastically.
"Aaaa mbak Lia. very handsome oath. Where's the stray bule from? Shouted one of Lia's employees named Resa.
"Mbaaakk. know us-we dong. Said the other Lia employee while pulling the tip of Lia's shirt and wagging it.
Lia simply smiled and shook her head in response to the whining of her employees.
"It's over, back to work there." Arvan's orders to Lia's employees.
Arvan is already very familiar with Lia's employees as she often helps Lia in the shophouse. Or just stop by for a while after school. Arvan is also very close to Kiara and already considers her like her own sister.
Today Lia receives a message from SURVIVOR, a community on social networks she created to help people who need help. Whether it's moral support or medical assistance.
Someone named Nur is asking Lia for help. He is the only son of a reliable businessman from Malaysia. His existence was hidden by his own biological father. Nur has vitiligo, a condition that causes the skin to be unable to produce melanin or the compounds that determine skin color. The condition causes the skin to appear striped and different from the original skin color.
Nur's father considered it a disgrace that must be hidden.

"Lia. Are you sure you're going there?" Ask Arumi who is helping Lia pack clothes.
"Very sure. I want the rest of my life to benefit others Ar."
"Have you told Demian?" Ask Arumi.
"If I tell him, he'll always follow me Arumi. As you know, I want to avoid it."
"You're taking me to the airport?" Ask Lia.
"of course. Are you ready?"
"Yes. I'm all set. You are my best friend."
Lia came out of the room carrying a large bag and said goodbye to her mother and sister. Followed by Arumi who came out carrying Lia's suitcase which is not too much luggage.
"Be careful in the land of the nduk. Take care of your health, don't forget to always tell us." Amira looked teary-eyed withholding increasingly urgent tears. While Kiara hugged Lia and cried as she pleased. "Jaga ibuk ya Kiara's. Not long ago." Said Lia who was rubbing her sister's back and answered a nod by Kiara.
Before leaving for the airport, Arumi seemed busy talking to someone over the phone. Lia stuffed her things into the trunk of the car while occasionally glancing at her best friend. Arumi doesn't usually stay away when picking up the phone from someone.
"Whose call?" Ask Lia.
"There's. Get in the car." Answer Arumi cengengesan.
The two got into the car and headed to the airport.
Fortunately, Lia was not suspicious. Arumi said in her heart.
Yes, Arumi is currently planning something for Lia.
