Today Taera has finished the exam, as well as Sella. She was enjoying Sonia and Sella's cooking in the living room. Meanwhile, Hyona has to go to college to help her friend, who is doing research in the Biology laboratory. While eating, they chatted.
"My prediction is... Yola will be expelled," said Sella.
"Yola, the girl you ever told me about it?" asked Sonia.
Taera nodded, "I'm sorry if she got expelled from college."
"The problem is she has threatened and participated in bullying," said Sella.
"Yeah, it's really scary. But, how come you don't know, Sel? You're a classmate," Sonia asked, surprised. Taera was also surprised.
"It's not that I ignore Airin in class. I mean, she doesn't seem to have any personal problems. She seems fine. I don't even know who bullied her. Maybe she's hiding. In class, Airin is a bit quiet, ' answered Sella.
"Hmm... I didn't think that Airin had been in trouble all this time. Poor her," said Taera.
"That's right. So, how's your boyfriend? Also, Stefa?" asked Sonia.
"They have to participate in community service. This week, they will collect their proposals," Taera replied and then continued eating.
"Fortunately, they weren't expelled from the SEB," said Sonia, which was greeted by Taera and Sella's nod.
"How about your other best friend, right? You said both of you were tailed, right?" Sella asked.
Taera swallowed her food, "He already knew that it was Yola's doing. He was shocked. But Ardilo and his boarding house friends were calmed down. He's safe too. It's a shame that he's sick, and he's got into my problems with Yola, too," replied Taera.
"Yola is outrageous too. I can't understand it," said Sonia.
Taera's handphone on the dining table vibrated. There's a call from Stefa. "Wait a minute, Stefa is calling," said Taera. Sella and Sonia let Taera into her room to pick up the call from Stefa.
"Hello."
"Hello, darling."
"What's wrong?"
"Are you busy? Come here! Ardilo and I want to work on a community service proposal. I don't like being alone with Ardilo. People will talk weird again."
"It's okay. People will know that you are working on a proposal. I won't be jealous either. Just relax."
"Don't be like that, darling. After done with the proposal, I want to take you on a double date."
"Wait, wait, what's a double date? Could it be you..."
"Yeah, I've been dating Hano."
Taera is very happy. Finally, after a long time, Stefa harbored feelings for Hano. Hano finally realized it and accepted Stefa's feelings.
"Wow, congratulations, Stef. Finally, your love ended beautifully. Congrats, bestie."
"Thank you. I was so surprised yesterday. Hano confessed to me."
"It seems that he was touched by your struggles, that you liked him since high school. How many years have you harbored your feelings?"
"Yeah. I'm so happy that everything ended well. So, come join me and Ardilo. I want to treat you guys."
"Have the others been treated yet? Yuna, Alex, and Yania?"
"Not yet. They don't know yet. I'll see if I go public. Meanwhile, only you know. I'll ask Ardilo to keep it a secret first."
"Are you sure Ardilo will be kept in secret?" Taera asked.
"Yes, I'm sure about it. Hano and I are already planning to go public. We're just waiting for the right time. So for now, let's just keep quiet."
"Yes, I've changed clothes in a moment. I just finished eating."
"Okay, I'll send you the location via chat. I just found a cozy and very nice hangout place."
"Okay, okay. I'll wait."
"I should be the one waiting for you," said Stefa, then giggled.
"That's right, hehe. I'll change first."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
Stefa hung up the phone. Taera then immediately changed clothes. She wanted to enjoy the time today to celebrate Hano and Stefa's relationship.

Taera arrived fifteen minutes later. She came to a cafe which from the outside looked very comfortable and very beautiful. No wonder Stefa chose this cafe. She likes taking photos and posting on social media, Taera thought. She then entered the cafe and headed for table number seven. There was already Stefa and Ardilo. Both of them were busy typing on their laptops.
"This is serious," Taera said as she approached Stefa and Ardilo. She then sat in front of them.
"Hey you, sorry I didn't see you earlier," said Ardilo, who told Taera to sit near him.
"You don't get lost, do you?" Stefa asked.
"Nope. Btw, I want to hug you first. I want to congratulate you," Taera said, then stood up and hugged Stefa.
"Oh my gosh, look at this. Your girlfriend loves me too," said Stefa to Ardilo.
Ardilo smiled. He was happy to see his girlfriend's friendship, "Yeah. You also love Taera."
"Congratulations, my most beautiful friend. I'm so happy that Hano finally knows the feelings you've been hiding all this time," Taera said as she gently stroked Stefa's hair.
"I'm also happy that you can meet Ardilo. You deserve a boyfriend as good as Ardilo," said Stefa and then released her hug.
"I'm happy when you're happy, Stef. You've always been there for me. Thank you," said Taera.
"Yes. Thank you too," said Stefa, pinching Taera's cheek affectionately.
"Yes, you have worked on the proposal first. Do you have any ideas?" Taera asked.
"Come on, Ardilo, his brain is full of ideas, you know, Tae. I can't even speak," said Stefa as if moved and amazed.
"Don't be like that, Stef," said Ardilo.
Taera returned to her seat with a smile.
"I'm serious. I'm just thinking about what I want to do for community service. It turns out that Ardilo already has a lot of ideas," said Stefa.
"Maybe it's because I've often participated in SEB events, Stef. That's why I have an idea what kind of community service activities you are doing. You're still in your second year also haven't you just entered SEB? I don't mean to belittle you, Stef, but you know what I mean, right?" asked Ardilo.
"Yes. I understand. But, well, I still feel like you're cool. Maybe this is also the effect of you being with Taera. The happier you are, the sharpen your brain is," said Stefa, then chuckled.
"You are so funny, Stef," said Taera.
"Yeah, that's all there is to it," said Ardilo.
"Btw, where's Hano? How come you weren't together?" Taera asked Ardilo.
"He ordered me first. He said there was still a need," replied Ardilo.
"Hano still picks up her sister who just returned from abroad for vacation. He said it was a bit late," added Stefa.
"Oh, I see, then do you want to order a drink first? You're thirsty," said Taera.
"Just order it. We haven't ordered it yet," said Ardilo.
While looking at the food and drink menu, Stefa's eyes fell on someone who entered the cafe. From a distance, the guy looks like Hano, but he's holding another girl's hand.
The closer it turns out it's Hano. Stefa was very surprised. Because Stefa was silent, Ardilo and Taera looked in the direction that Stefa was looking at.
"Hano. Who is she?" Stefa asked.
"Andien?" asked Ardillo.
