Bella wiggled her feet on the ground. Not the destination class and Aldi but the garden. Bella once again cursed the attitude she took in front of Farel. Bella is not a hypocrite, saying no when she wants to Farel. It's just that she doesn't want to fight 'again' with Salsha.
Bella sighed in exasperation. Since then she has not calmed down. Her mind was clearly on Farel. Meanwhile, Aldi, who was sitting quietly beside him, began to feel disturbed.
"Are you having a problem again?" asked Aldi.
Bella shook her head as she looked at Aldi sadly. "You want to be my boyfriend?" Bella asked suddenly.
Aldi couldn't hide his surprise. There's something wrong with Bella. And Aldi was increasingly convinced that there was something the girl was hiding.
"Are you serious?" Aldi couldn't believe it. "I came with you just as a friend. Besides, I have a girlfriend in Bandung."
"I know," Bella lost her enthusiasm. "But I want you to help me."
"Help what?" Aldi asked while frowning.
Bella looked back at Aldi expectantly. "So I pretended to be in front of Farel and Salsha. That way Farel wouldn't bother me anymore."
Aldi knew what had caused Bella's heartbreak from earlier. "Are you sure you want Farel to stop bothering you?"
Bella nodded uncertainly. "Yeah."
"Don't you like him?" guess Aldi.
"I...." Bella couldn't finish her sentence.
"You don't have to cover it up. I know that you like Farel," said Aldi. "What I wonder, why are you acting like you don't like him."
Bella sighed. Maybe it's time she confessed his feelings for Aldi. Bella believes, Aldi is a man who can be trusted.
"Because Salsha likes Farel. I'm not fighting over a guy with him."
Aldi shook his head in disbelief hearing Bella's reasoning. "You're too innocent, Bel. One thing I've known from you since the first time we met, you're too concerned about other people's feelings. Actually, I already know that your indifferent attitude towards Farel isn't just because you don't like him. you, It's pressured by the attitude you take towards him. You think too much about Salsha's feelings, that's why you ignore Farel. Salsha teases you, but you keep quiet. Not because you can't reply, but because you don't want to hurt her feelings, right?"
Bella was silent. Everything that comes out of Aldi's mouth is reality. Bella didn't even have a defense for all those words.
"May I give you some input?" asked Aldi. Bella nodded. "You don't have to think too much about other people. Think about yourself first, then think about other people. Don't think about other people's feelings so much that you forget your own feelings and happiness."
"If you like Farel, accept him. The issue of whether Salsha is angry or not is her business. After all, you're not fighting for Farel. You and Salsha only like one guy and it just so happens that a guy likes you." Aldi rubbed Bella's shoulder. "Are you ready if one day Farel stops chasing you, while you like him?"
Bella shook her head, she wasn't ready for that to happen.
"Farel's response before it's too late."

Sasha plopped down on the sofa. All-day she spent her time hanging out with Dinda. Starting from shopping at the mall, eating at cafes, walking in the park. Salsha began to feel a peaceful and calm life again today. After Aldi came, indeed Salsha felt that her life was far from calm and peaceful.
Salsha sighed, took off her shoes and socks. Then Salsha stood up and walked up the stairs to her room. Before arriving at the room, Salsha saw Aldi was busy playing Ps. Salsha thinks to prank Aldi.
Salsha sat next to the man and forcibly took the Ps stick from Aldi's hand. "Please come home quickly."
"Disturb you!" Aldi tries to take the Ps stick from Salsha's hand but the girl keeps him away. "Return the stick."
Instead of obeying Aldi's wishes, Salsha stood up and turned off the TV. Salsha put her hands on her hips in front of Aldi.
"My house's electricity will run out when you play PS first!"
"Crazy girl, you!" cursed Aldi. Lazy to argue with Salsha, Aldi chooses to play a game on his cellphone.
But it's not Salsha if she lets other people's lives rest in peace. Salsha approached Aldi and nudged the man's shoulder.
Aldi was of course disturbed. "Stay away from me!"
Salsha didn't listen to Aldi's words, instead, she grabbed the man's cell phone and put it in his bag. Aldi growled annoyed, he clenched his fists and glared at Salsha.
"Give me back my cellphone," said Aldi flatly.
Salsha shook her head and folded her arms in front of her chest... "What if I don't want to?"
"Give me back my cellphone," Aldi repeated. He stretched out his hand in front of Sasha. "I'm not in the mood for jokes."
"Do not want!" Sasha insisted.
"GIVE MY PHONE BACK, SALSHA!" snapped Aldi who was already feeling emotional.
Salsha was silent, her eyes began to tear up. She had never been snapped in his life. Even his parents never yelled at him.
Salsha took Aldi's cell phone from her bag and put it on the table with a bit of a bang. Salsha looked at Aldi while wiping her tears roughly.
"Now I know what your true nature is. Just like that, you're already angry, you've been playing around with yelling at me." Sasha stood up. "It seems that my mother was wrong to have set me up with a grumpy boy like you!"
Salsha left Aldi and went into his room, don't forget to close the door hard. Aldi rubbed his face and regretted what he had done. He shouldn't have yelled at Salsha like that. But the problem is, Salsha jokes that he doesn't know the situation, Aldi is annoyed with Tania who has suddenly become an angry and jealous girl since he moved to Jakarta. Aldi's mind was frantic thinking about Tania, plus Salsha which annoyed him. No wonder he became like before.
Aldi scratched the back of his neck, now what should he do. Shut up and let Salsha cry because of him or apologize to the girl. Mellina, his mother always taught Aldi not to make women cry or hurt women's hearts. Mellina always applies to Aldi to protect women. If Aldi made a mistake, the man should apologize.
But if Aldi apologized to Salsha, he was sure the girl would feel victorious. Aldi of course did not want that to happen. But if you let it go and forget it, Aldi won't be able to. He will keep thinking. Even if Aldi had to apologize, he didn't know how to apologize.
"What should I do," said Aldi frustrated.
