Sella knocked on Taera's door because she didn't come out until night fell. Sella is worried because Taera's handphone cannot be reached. Hyona and Sonia haven't come home from college yet. They are having an activity with their friends.
"Tae, are you home yet?" asked Sella from outside the door.
No answer. Sella suddenly became worried. She then knocked on the door once more.
"Tae…"
A few moments later, the door to Taera's room opened. She still hasn't changed her clothes since she got home from college earlier. She looked at Sella with a feeling of uneasiness and sighed. The confused Sella immediately shook Taera's body.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Sella.
"It's okay. I'm just upset," Taera replied.
"What's wrong with you? Are you upset? Problems with assignments? Is it a boy?"
Taera wanted to say that she was upset thinking about her feelings for Ardilo. She wanted to tell others that Ardilo had confessed to her, and Taera was very happy. Unfortunately, Taera cannot share it with another, then through the anonymous blog, she wrote earlier.
"No. It's normal. After watching a drama that makes me upset. I got carried away," replied Taera, lying.
"Geez, I guess what happened with you. Then why isn't your handphone active?" asked Sella again.
"I ... I am busy watching. I forget if my handphone has a low battery," Taera replied, then smiled sweetly so that Sella would understand.
"Well then, hurry and take a bath. I bought this egg martabak, let's eat together. Hyona and Sonia are still outside. They've eaten, she said," said Sella.
"Okay, I'll take a bath first. Wait for me, don't finish it!" Taera said.
"Yes, yes. Hurry up!" said Sella and then went to the living room. Meanwhile, Taera closed her room again and rushed to take a bath.
If only I could tell everyone if you love me, Ardilo. What will the world say? Taera thought.

D-2 Election of the Chairman of SEB...
Ardilo is getting busy with preparations for the election of the chairman of the SEB in two days. He and Ervan were getting busy preparing for what they should do if they won later. They were already in a quiet period that shouldn't be campaigning. Finally, Ardilo chose to gather with his success team in a park near the library.
Ardilo had a moment to daydream. He remembered his meeting with Taera yesterday. He wanted to say hi, but he couldn't. In another hand, he also has to focus on selecting the chairman of the SEB to succeed in the future. Ervan, who saw his older brother, who was daydreaming, finally waved his hand in front of Ardilo's face.
"Bro…" Ervan called.
"Eh... what's wrong, Van?" Ardilo asked in surprise.
"Ardi is random lately? Often daydreaming, sometimes smiling to himself, sometimes being anxious, random anyway. Why the heck? Are you nervous because you want to elect the chairman of the SEB?" asked Ervan, trying to analyze Ardilo's recent attitude.
Ardilo seemed a little bit relieved because Ervan didn't think that Ardilo was thinking about Taera. The thing that makes him daydream is Taera. The thing that makes him smile himself is Taera. What makes him nervous is Taera. Who makes him random like this is Taera. Ardilo wasn't like this back then. Ever since he confessed his feelings to Taera, he became anxious. Her heart was pounding.
"Yes, I am thinking about the election later, Van. If we choose, we have to think about many things. It starts from the SEB branding, concepts, work programs, the Open Recruitment system, and many more. I still imagine that we will be happy if we win later. But it will be, so a new responsibility too. We can't enjoy it like we used to. Our job is getting tougher. That's why sometimes I'm a bit random these days," explained Ardilo trying to make Ervan understand. He didn't lie to Ervan. Indeed, he thought about Taera. But, the election of the Chairman of SEB Faculty of Economy also took up some of his thoughts.
"Yes, bro. We have to have a full discussion with our success team. Hopefully, everything will run smoothly. Oh yes, listen to many of our supporters because they love Ardilo. Ardilo is the dream of all girls," said Ervan, praising Ardilo.
It's okay for all girls, but will I be Taera's ideal? Inner Ardilo.
"Not really. There are also no less handsome than me. They also have a lot of fans. Yes, if you think about it, we are balanced. That's why we shouldn't be arrogant. We are afraid that we will fall, get sick too, right?" Ardilo said giving advice.
"Yes, bro. Wow, you are the best. Always be able to give wise advice. I'm sure your girlfriend will fall in love with you," said Ervan, then said goodbye to the toilet.
Ardilo then thought I hope Taera can accept it as it is. Ardilo has fallen in love with Taera too deeply. He hopes Taera also has the same feelings.

Stefa is working on her assignment in the library with Taera. She was so busy that she didn't pay attention to Taera had been restless. Taking turns at the task and the handphone. Finally, Taera gave up too and got up from her chair.
"Where are you going?" asked Stefa.
"Come out for a moment. I want to buy a drink for a moment. I am thirsty. Do you want to leave?" Taera asked back.
"No, no. Don't take it too long," said Stefa.
"Okay," said Taera, then left Stefa continued her work. Meanwhile, Taera walked straight out of the library. She left her belongings with Stefa. She only went out briefly looking for fresh air. She then sat in the gazebo near the small cafeteria next to the library after buying a bottle of fresh drink.
She drank it while looking around the library environment. She saw two people who seemed to be lovers. Taera can feel the intimacy between them. Taera then wondered whether if she accepted Ardilo's request to become his lover, she would be able to walk freely with Ardilo. This is even more so if Ardilo is elected as chairman of the SEB Faculty of Economics. Are people not going to talk about them?
"So relieved to be them, huh? You can walk freely anytime, anywhere. If I go out with Ardilo, surely every time I go out together and be seen by many people, someone will be whispering like that," Taera muttered and then sighed.
Taera thought for a long time. She looked at her handphone. Ardilo had not texted her for several days. Taera understood Ardilo was busy. She got it. But she couldn't lie to her feelings that she missed Ardilo. She was confused about who she wanted to ask Ardilo.
Then, Taera remembered that she met Serry at that time. Should she ask Serry about Ardilo? Can Serry be trusted to discuss her relationship with Ardilo? Taera took her handphone.
"Did I just chat, Sis Serry?" muttered Taera.
