From afar, Salsha saw that Farel was teaching Bella to play basketball. From time to time, Bella and Farel could hear the sound of happy laughter. Salsha didn't like it. She didn't like it when Bella could feel happiness. Moreover, happiness is because of Farel, the person she loves.
Salsha squeezed the mineral bottle she was holding. Salsha will not stay silent. she will ruin that happiness.
Salsha trotted over to Farel and Bella. Salsha smiled a little greeting Farel. "Hey, Rel."
Bella and Farel stopped their activities and looked at Salsha flatly. Farel wiped the sweat dripping down his forehead.
"What are you doing here?"
"Want to meet you." Sasha smiled. "I brought bread and drinks for you. You must be tired, right?"
"No need. I've brought food and drinks for Farel." Bella denied Salsha's words.
"I'm not talking to you!" said Salsha while staring in awe at Farel. "You're sweating like that, you must be tired, huh."
Salsha wanted to wipe Farel's sweat, but the man immediately dodged. "Do not have to."
Bella, who knew she had lost again with Salsha, took a drink from the sidelines and handed it to Farel. "Rel, drink first."
"You don't see that I've brought Farel to drink," said Salsha, looking at Bella sharply.
Bella did not respond to Salsha's words and instead thrust them into Farel's hands. When Farel wanted to take mineral water from Bella's hands, Salsha immediately brushed it off making the mineral waterfall to the ground.
"Oops, on purpose," joked Salsha.
Bella tried to control her emotions even though Salsha's attitude had gone too far. Bella did not want them to fight in this field and be witnessed by many people.
"Why are you bothering me," Bella said impatiently.
"The annoying thing is you. You're not very self-aware," sarcastically Salsha.
"I was here with Farel first. But why did you come and bother us? You even threw away the drink I wanted to give Farel. You don't have very good manners." Bella lost control. She had been patient enough to face Salsha's childish behavior.
"Cool you say?" Sasha doesn't accept it. "You are the one who has no manners, you are the one who came to mess up my relationship with Farel. You are a troublemaker!" Salsha pointed at Bella with her finger.
"I'm not what you say, Sha," Bella replied. "I never messed up your relationship with Farel. Farel never loved you. It's just that you chased Farel too much."
Bella and Salsha are getting into an argument. But the person mentioned was simply enjoying the scene in front of him without any intention of interfering or interceding.
Salsha clenched her fists hearing Bella's words. Bella had dared to say it. Bella is impudent. Unable to contain her emotions, Salsha wanted to throw a slap to Bella's cheek but was prevented by Aldi who had just arrived with Dinda.
Aldi held Salsha's hand which almost slapped Bella. Salsha glared at Aldi. "Why are you meddling again?"
"I don't like violence, especially in schools like this," said Aldi flatly. Aldi looked at Salsha and Bella alternately. "You can't just not fight like this for once?"
"She started first," Bella argued to Aldi.
"The snitch," sneered Salsha. Sasha looked at Aldi. "Then you tell your friend so you don't disturb me and Farel."
"I don't bother you. I was the one with Farel here first," Bella explained.
"But you've been close to Farel and made me stay away from him." Sasha doesn't want to lose.
"Stop!" said Aldi firmly. "Din, you better take Salsha from here."
Dinda nodded. She pulled Salsha's hand but Salsha refused. "Come on, Sha."
"I don't want to." Sasha insisted. "I still want Farel here. You just ordered him to leave here."
"You're not ashamed to chase after people who don't like you, even openly chasing other girls," Aldi commented scathingly. Sometimes Salsha has to be hardened to understand. "So girls have a little shame, why?"
"Shut up!" Salsha pointed at Aldi with her finger. "You're just a newcomer here. You don't know anything. You must defend him because he's your friend!"
Farel was embarrassed. There should have been a scuffle between Bella and Salsha but because Aldi came, they all broke up.
"I'd rather just take it off than you guys getting into fights like this." Farel picked up the ball that was lying on the ground and stepped away from the place.
Aldi looked at Farel's back which was getting further away. Aldi was surprised by Farel's attitude. The man was not there to help or mediate the fight that occurred even though this all happened because of Farel. Aldi felt that there was something strange about Farel. Like he's not a good man.
"Farel is gone, you don't have any intention of chasing Farel?" quipped Aldi.
Salsha stomped her feet annoyed and pulled Dinda's hand to leave. Leaving Bella and Aldi alone there.
"I missed it," Bella moaned. "I should be more mature and not provoked like before."
Aldi turned to look at Bella. "I feel there is something strange about Farel."
Bella frowned. "Strange how?"
"That's weird," said Aldi. "You and Salsha almost got into a fight. But he just kept quiet and wouldn't do anything. I don't think Farel is a good person."
Bella chuckled at Aldi's words. "Why do you suddenly become a fortune teller like this?"
"I feel that Farel is not a good guy for you. Farel is not a good guy." I don't know why Aldi feels that way. Farel only took advantage of the situation. But for what, Aldi did not know.
"You don't have to act like that, okay?" Bella couldn't believe Aldi's words. "Maybe Farel was tired, that's why he kept quiet. After all, it was my fault with Salsha."
Aldi massaged his temples. "I'm a guy, I know which guys are good and which guys aren't good for you."
Bella just laughed a little in response to Aldi's words. Bella patted Aldi's shoulder. "I know you care about me because I'm your friend. But I know Farel better than you. After all, you were the one who asked me to respond to Farel. Why do you even seem to dislike me and Farel now."
"Come on, I need to clean the toilet first." Bella also left Aldi.
"Why do I think I'm weird like this," Aldi said to himself. "But I'll still take care of Bella so she doesn't get hurt by Farel."
*****
"I'm very happy."
Salsha looked at Dinda sarcastically and walked faster. Salsha is still annoyed with what happened to her earlier. Aldi should not have come so that Salsha can stuff Bella's mouth with her shoes.
"Happy because I was bullied earlier?" sarcastic Salsha.
"No, Salsha, dear," said Dinda. "I can't be happy over your suffering like this."
"Then why are you happy?" Sasha entered the classroom and sat down at her desk. His heart still felt hot.
Dinda followed Salsha and sat beside the girl. "I'm happy because I managed to prank Aldi with his girlfriend."
Salsha looked at Dinda with a furrowed brow. "What do you mean by prank?"
Dinda proudly explained. "Earlier when Aldi was on the phone with his girlfriend, I came. I just said thank you because Aldi has taken me home. Ehh, Aldi's girlfriend immediately killed him. If that's the case, I'm successful."
Salsha laughed at Dinda with a mocking laugh. "Hahaha, you're funny!"
"Yeah, sure." Dinda prided herself.
"No one is funnier than you," cursed Salsha. "You don't allow me to disturb Bella and Farel even though they're not even dating. Meanwhile, you disturb Aldi and his girlfriend. I swear you're really funny."
"Yes, I like Aldi." Dinda defended herself. "It's natural for me to be like that."
Salsha shook her face concerned to see Dinda. "Yes, it's natural. What's not natural is you telling me to back off while you keep going. People are indeed good at advising others but can't take care of themselves."
