"So now where do we work in groups?" she asked.
"Just at Salsha's house, how about it?" Dinda suggested. "Right now, our task is more difficult. We have to write papers, memorize dance moves too. We can't do it in a cafe."
"I agree!" replied Aldi. Dinda smiled happily because Aldi agreed to the idea.
"I don't want to," said Sasha. "Why does it have to be at my house? At Dinda's house."
"At my house, there is my younger brother who will disturb you. At your house, you don't have small children anymore," said Dinda.
"But I don't want a hypocritical girl to enter my house." Salsha glared at Bella. "My house will be unclean."
Bella sighed. Salsha still can't accept the situation. "Just stay at my house if Salsha doesn't want to."
"I don't want to be at your house either. Later my body will itch," replied Salsha
"Then where do you want it?" Bella was getting annoyed. "It's going to be complicated at the cafe. Then we won't be able to practice the dance."
Aldi sighed. Salsha and Bella always can't get along. There was always a chance for them to start arguing.
"Couldn't you just for once not have to obey your ego." Now Aldi is getting annoyed. He looked at Salsha and Bella alternately. "This is a group assignment, no need to bring up personal problems."
"Who brings up personal problems," said Salsha.
"I don't care what kind of problem you guys have. Whether you're making fun of each other or whatever, I don't care. But please, I ask for help, don't bring personal issues here. You're both adults. Can you tell the difference between the two? personal where is school work."
"Aldi said that's right. You two made a lot of noise," said Dinda along with it.
Salsha glared at Dinda to keep the girl quiet. Salsha glanced at Aldi slowly. The man when angry is scary too.
"I'm sorry." Bella relented. "But how about it, Salsha doesn't want to be at her house, she doesn't want to be at my house either."
Sasha sighed. Maybe this time he had to relent and allow Bella to enter his house 'again'.
"Well, just at my house," said Salsha finally.
*****
Salsha entered her house and invited Bella, Dinda, and of course Aldi to come inside. Until now, Salsha and Aldi's acting is still successful. No one knows what the relationship between Aldi and Salsha is.
"We'll just do it here." Salsha takes them to the living room. "Let me get my laptop in the room."
Salsha also took her laptop and some writing equipment if they needed it. After taking it, Salsha returned to the living room and joined the others.
"Aunt Helen where Sha?" asked Dinda. Usually, when Dinda goes to Salsha's house, there must be Helen there.
Salsha glanced at Aldi, while those who glanced at her looked indifferent as if not bothered by Dinda's question.
"My mother is playing at my brother's house. I'll be home later in the afternoon, really," replied Salsha, originating.
"Where do we start?" asked Aldi. He acts like an active Chairman.
"How about we split up again?" Bella suggested. "There are those who make papers and there are also those who are looking for or are customizing their local dances."
"I agree," replied Dinda. Indeed, only Dinda among them, if she does not share an opinion. She just followed what his friend said.
"In two groups?" asked Aldi.
Bella nodded. "What if you are with Salsha, then I am with Dinda."
"Ooh!" Salsha's error is fast. "It's better if I'm with Dinda."
"I just want Aldi," said Dinda innocently. Again, she received a murderous stare from Salsha.
"For example, if you are with Dinda, I and Aldi will not be ready," said Bella. "It must have been a lot of talking. But if it's exchanged like this, the work will automatically become serious."
"Well, I'm with Aldi," said Dinda again.
"Impossible, Dinda." This time it was Aldi who spoke. "Just according to Bella's suggestion. I'm with Salsha."
"Do I want to?" asked Salsha arrogantly.
"Want me to cross out the name of the group?" threatened Aldi. Salsha did not move either.
Finally, as Bella suggested earlier, Salsha and Aldi got to work on their paper while Bella and Dinda were assigned to look for customs and dances typical of North Sumatra and ship the dances.
Aldi focused on typing while Salsha was busy looking for material and dictating it to Aldi. Things got very serious. They are all very focused on doing it.
"I'm thirsty, here," complained Dinda. "Sha, you have no intention of giving us drinks and snacks."
"Just take it yourself if you want," said Salsha while focusing on the book in front of her. "I was asked to make a maid drink."
Bella sighed. "Let me make the drinks. You guys continue to work."
Bella went to leave them to the kitchen to make a drink. Bella's departure made a question mark in Aldi's head. Aren't Salsha and Bella enemies, then Bella didn't ask where the kitchen of Salsha's house was. Has Bella ever come to this house before? All strange assumptions immediately swirled in Aldi's brain.
Meanwhile, Bella was making four glasses of orange juice for them. Bella took a glass from the shelf and placed it on the table. Then she took instant orange juice from the refrigerator and poured it into a glass. Bella also took several kinds of bread for them to enjoy.
"I haven't been here in a long time," Bella whispered. There was a feeling of longing that settled in his heart when she came back to the house she used to visit often.
Until Bella's eyes accidentally saw something familiar to her. Bella grabbed it and looked at it. It was Aldi's keychain. Bella looked at it, and it turned out to be true. the keychain belongs to Aldi. Bella could see that on the keychain there was a photo of Aldi and Tania, her boyfriend.
"Why is there an Aldi keychain here?" Bella asked herself. "The feeling of Aldi not going here."
Various speculations filled Bella's brain. About what is the relationship between Aldi and Salsha. If Bella thought about it, there was something strange about Salsha and Aldi. They seemed to have known before. It was Salsha who seemed to hate Aldi even the first time the boy loved going to school. Though usually Salsha can not hate people without a reason. And she can feel the same for Aldi. Aldi doesn't seem to like Salsha. It seems that Aldi and Salsha did know each other before they met at school.
Don't want to arouse suspicion because you've been in the kitchen for too long. Bella also kept the keychain and lifted a tray of drinks and some bread as a snack. Then she stepped back into the living room.
"How come it took you so long. I'm thirsty," said Dinda complaining.
Bella put it on the table and sat back down next to Dinda who was directly opposite Aldi and Salsha. Bella watched Aldi and Salsha take turns. And his suspicions grew.
Realizing being noticed by Bella made Aldi frown. "Why, Bells?"
Bella woke up and immediately looked away. "Ahh, it's okay." she said. "Drink first."
Aldi grabbed the glass on the table and took a sip of its contents. Then he turned his attention back to the laptop in front of him.
Bella looked at Aldi again. Soon she will ask Aldi about his relationship with Salsha.
