Yuna and Putra were very surprised when they saw Yola and Ardilo. The two of them fell silent. They don't want to disturb. They just sit there watching and listening to what they are doing. Yuna and Putra are sure they won't do anything wrong. But considering that it was just the two of them, Yuna and Putra somehow thought the same thing to keep an eye on them.
"Yola, what are you doing? Why are you crying?" asked Ardilo while trying to free Yola's arms.
Honestly, he was uncomfortable with Yola hugging him like this. Ardilo was too focused on Yola, so he didn't know that Yuna and Putra were there. They didn't even know, that Taera was behind Yuna and Putra saw Yola hugging Ardilo.
"Ardi... I'm really sad. I've been dumped by Hendo. He was really bad. He is breaking up with me during exam times. I'm really sad. I am devastated. You know I love him, don't you?" said Yola, then started crying again.
Yola lied. Unfortunately, Ardilo didn't know about it.
"Hendo, why did both of you break up?" asked Ardillo.
Yola still hasn't let go of her hand.
"He said I disturbed him, Ardi. I disturbed his thesis. I disturbed his focus. Even though I've tried to understand him during my busy life. He said I don't understand. I'm sad Ardi. I've tried my best," said Yola while sobbing.
"Okay, now calm down, okay, I'll get you a drink," said Ardilo. Finally, Yola wanted to let go of Ardilo's arms and sat downstairs while Ardilo got Yola a drink.
"Let's drink first to calm down," said Ardilo, handing a glass of mineral water to Yola.
Yola drank it. Ardilo feels sorry for Yola. He knows that during the final exam, everyone needs a calm and focused mind. Ardilo knew Yola was sad and couldn't focus. Finally, Ardilo decided to comfort Yola.
Yola's eyes were still dripping. She drank the mineral water while crying. Ardillo feels so sorry for her. He took a tissue and gently wiped Yola's tears.
"Don't cry anymore. After this, we have a test. You have to focus. Try to tell me everything," said Ardilo.
He did get annoyed with Yola on a day that made Taera and Stefa almost misunderstand, but after all, Yola is one of his best friends.
"When was the day I met Hendo. He was angry with me at the cafe. He said I didn't understand him. He was busy, but I disturbed him. I spent time with him. I was scolded by him, Ardi. People saw us fighting. I was very sad. I was disappointed with his attitude. I didn't expect him to be like that to me," Yola vented, which was full of spices.
Ardilo feels sorry for Yola. He didn't think that Hendo would be like that. When they first started dating, Hendo most supported Yola and Ardilo to actively join the organization. He doesn't know what made Hendo change his mind. Ardilo was confused and angry at the same time.
"Perhaps Hendo has changed. Don't think about it now. We will have an exam soon. You have to focus. Your grades must be good. Don't let things like this make you weak. You are strong, Yola. I'm sure you can face this all. Yola, who is always cheerful, you can't be sad because of this," said Ardilo encouragingly.
Yola then hugged Ardilo again. Ardilo, who was shocked, could only be silent.
"Thank you, Ardi. You are indeed my best and most understanding close friend," said Yola, hugging Ardilo tightly.
Yuna and Putra, who were watching them, were annoyed with Yola's behavior, who just hugged Ardilo. They are indeed close friends, but girls and boys hug? It feels strange to them because they are just friends. Meanwhile, Ardilo already has a girlfriend.
"How can she suddenly hug him?" Yuna cursed.
"Shhh... they'll hear it later. Come on, let's go, don't disturb," said Putra.
When they turned around, Yuna and Putra were shocked when they saw Taera, who was already in tears.
"Wow..." said Putra spontaneously, while Yuna screamed in shock.
Hearing a scream from outside the secret, Yola and Ardilo immediately came out. When they came out, Taera ran away crying.
"Why didn't you tell me that Taera was here?" asked Ardilo in annoyance.
"We also don't know if there is Taera," said Yuna.
Ardilo immediately put on his shoes and ran after Taera.
***
Ardilo chased Taera in his direction. Unfortunately, he couldn't find Taera anywhere. He asked the students from the Faculty of Economics who had come to prepare for their exams, but they didn't see Taera. Ardilo feels hopeless. What if Taera saw Yola hugging him earlier? She must have misunderstood. Ardilo wants to find Taera, but time forces him to come back soon because he has to prepare for the exam. Ardilo tried to call Taera, but she didn't pick up. Ardilo now can only hope that Taera doesn't misunderstand.
Meanwhile, Taera was hiding in the toilet cubicle, which was is in her department. She cries silently. She did not pick up the call from Ardilo. She had seen it all. Yola hugged Ardilo, and Ardilo just let it go. Doesn't Ardilo remember that he already has a girlfriend? Taera couldn't stop thinking. Is it possible that what Ardilo said during their date a few days ago was just a lie that he only loved Taera? Taera was very upset and kept crying.
Finally, she chatted with Stefa to come quickly. Luckily, Stefa was already on campus. Of course, Taera had told Stefa not to tell anyone where Taera was. After arriving at the toilet, Stefa met Taera.
"Taera, what are you doing?" Stefa asked.
Taera didn't answer. She hugged Stefa while crying.
"Taera, tell me! What's wrong? Why are you hiding in the toilet? What's wrong?" Stefa asked curiously. She was worried because she had never seen Taera cry.
Taera then told what she had just seen at the SEB secretariat of the Faculty of Economics. Stefa was very surprised and also annoyed. She then hugged Taera and tried to calm her so that Taera wouldn't cry anymore.
"Now, you focus on the exam first, okay. It is important. Later, after the exam, you finish everything with Ardilo. Calm down, okay," said Stefa.
Taera just nodded. They then came out of the toilet and immediately prepared to enter the exam room.

Ardilo did today's exam at lightning speed. Not only because he's smart, but because the misunderstanding Taera saw earlier made him take the exam as quickly as possible. He then immediately went to the Accounting department and looked for Taera's exam room. He was waiting there. After a while, Taera came out of the exam room because the exam was over.
"Taera, I..." said Ardilo.
"Don't talk here. It's not good for people to see. We'll just move to a quiet place," Taera asked.
Ardilo complied with Taera's request. They went to a fairly quiet place. Ardilo could see Taera's slightly puffy eyes. He knew Taera must be crying. Ardilo felt guilty. He wanted to settle this matter well.
"Taera, that was..."
"I want us to break up," said Taera.
