I woke up after sleeping for a few hours. "Ah, have you arrived?"
"No, we're not here yet. A little more to be there, Daylon."
Because of the traffic jam, we were stuck in that place for a long time. Tiara, who was still awake, could only sigh when she managed to get out of this traffic jam. And Amanda, it seems she's asleep too, just like me.
The sun was starting to set, and we made it out of the long traffic jam.
"Tiara, if you are tired, let me replace it."
"No need, I'm fine." Tiara looked at me from the mirror. "Can you really drive a car, Daylon?"
Even though she said "fine", but actually Tiara is tired, I'm sure of that. And I'm sure too, she also wants to rest right now.
"Of course… I can't. I don't have a driver's license."
"Hahaha, you're so cute, Daylon."
The rules remain the rules. After all, I don't have a license to drive a car, so I can't replace the tired Tiara. Also, I can't drive a car either, so rather than getting hurt, I better be honest with my condition.
"Sorry, I actually can't drive a car. So, I did not replace you."
"It doesn't really matter. After all, we're not in that traffic anymore either, so it's all good."
Even though Tiara said that the car was going so slowly. She was really tired, so she had to be careful driving her car. I'm sure she's like that thinking about our safety too.
Ah, this is bad. I have to do something. This is bad.
Without Tiara knowing, I poked Amanda from behind.
"Oy, wake up!" I said in a low tone. "Get up!"
I did it, Amanda woke up from her sleep.
Amanda stretched her body as she said, "Are we there yet?"
"We're not there yet. We'll be there soon."
"Oh."
"What's that, huh?!" I said, still the same, speaking in a low voice. "Oy, Amanda!"
"Hmm? I seem to hear someone calling my name."
I am the one who called you.
"Why, Amanda?" asked Tiara.
"I heard someone like calling me."
"Calling you?"
Amanda turned to me and said, "Did Mas Daylon call me?"
After Amanda said that, I leaned my face toward her and whispered, "Oy, can you drive a car? Do you have a driver's license?" and Tiara just watched, without feeling the slightest suspicion.
"Of course I can."
"Then... you replace Tiara driving! Tiara seems exhausted."
After I whispered like that, Amanda immediately asked Tiara, "Tiara-senpai, are you tired? If so, then I'll be the one to drive."
"Can you drive a car, Amanda?"
"Of course, I can. Even I also have a driver's license."
"Then, please replace it! I'm a little tired," Tiara said easily.
My guess is right, Tiara is tired. And fortunately, she can be honest with that condition. So, there is no lie in him. But earlier, she said that she was okay with me. Isn't that she lying to me?
Tiara pulled the car to the side of the road. After that, the two of them got out of the car. However, Tiara looked confused, paused beside her car, and looked here and there.
When Amanda was beside him, I saw them talking to each other. I don't know what they were talking about, but it made Tiara feel less confused. However, for some reason, Tiara instead walked to the back of her car, not to the side of her car, and it shocked me.
"Actually, what does she want to do?"
After a while, the car door that was beside me, a little further, suddenly Tiara opened it, went inside, and sat beside me.
"Daylon, I've been resting since yes here." Tiara took off her girly cardigan, then covered her thighs, and closed her eyes.
Amanda, who was already at the driver's wheel, said, "Mas Daylon, don't do anything to Tiara-senpai, okay, back there! Just watch out if you do things."
Eh? Why am I being guilty? And again... why is she sleeping here? It's still empty up there.
Without me knowing, Tiara was already asleep in her sleep.
I don't know why Tiara chose to rest here, beside me, even though the car seat near Amanda was empty. I know this is the car, so she can freely do anything while in her car, but... this is too close.
I can feel the scent of her body, her hair, and her clothes. The sound of his exhausted breath, I can also hear it. In fact, as her head tilted towards me, a few strands of her hair touched my skin.
Amanda who looked at me from the mirror could only look at me with a sharp gaze as if she was watching me not to mess around.
This is bad. How about this? Am I just watching Youtube, okay? This is bad.
When I was about to turn on the television in front of me, suddenly Tiara's head leaned on my shoulder.
"Uh..." I paused and looked at the mirror several times.
Oy, why is it like this? How is it, how is it? Ah, she did it... did it again. This is bad-
"Sensei..." Tiara was delirious.
Eh?
"You have returned. Welcome back, Sensei."
What was she dreaming about, oy? Why is she delirious? And... I've been here, nowhere. In addition, I am no longer the sensei.
I looked in the mirror and saw Amanda who was looking at me with the previous gaze.
"Sensei..."
The moment I looked back at Tiara, I saw a tear coming out of her eyes.
"Bagas... Bagas and the others have slowly left me. All this time, I was struggling alone. Sensei, why did you change? Why did you leave us? I wish we could be like we used to be, Sensei. I miss those moments, Sensei."
I don't know, how much Tiara struggled, how much she suffered, how much fun she had, how sad she was to endure since I decided to stop playing the game. What I know right now, Tiara wants her friends to come back to her and enjoy playing the game together.
A bond that has been built for 10 years, will not just disappear. I'm sure, for sure, Bagas, Kahfi, Helena, Joko, and Elvina also feel the same way as Tiara today.
But sometimes, some things can make their bond fall apart, sometimes it is there. And that is what makes their bonds cut.
As long as one person can maintain the bonds, the bonds will never be broken. Differences of opinion, differences in beliefs, and differences whatever it is, as long as that person is still there to maintain the bond, that person will surely unite them.
And, who is keeping their bond? I am the one who looks after it.
I brushed Tiara's hair and said, "Now, it's okay. Take it easy! I have returned. You must have suffered all this time. Sorry for making you this way. So, don't be sad anymore, Tiara."
"Mas Daylon..." said Amanda, filled with anger. "What did you do to Tiara-senpai?! Why are you taking chances in a tight spot?!"
"Uh... I can explain." I'm panicking.
"I will not tell you my WIFI password. Remember it well!"
"Uh..."
She was angry with me. Ah, this is bad. Why is it like this ?! Ah, this is bad. This is bad.
