People's opinions are not all true, but netizens' opinions are like waves crashing on a small ship, once you hit you, you'll be drowned.
The victim of celebrity-style hoaxes..
----------------------------------
The soft knock and the squeaky sound of the bedroom door made Erlang turn quickly to the source of the sound.
Bintang entered followed by Gilang who brought some snacks in his hand. The two of them sat on the side of the bed after placing their luggage on the small table.
"You guys robbed the shop?" asked Erlang.
The man got up from his study table and closed the big book he had been reading. Well, not really he read, only in back and forth.
"Robbing the dorm kitchen to be exact." Gilan shouted.
The man followed Bintang who was already holding the ps stick in his hand. As usual, they would fight until dawn. Sometimes Erlang is uncomfortable with their screams which disturbs his sleep.
"Ahh, Lang. They're still talking about you and Maura. I guess they don't agree."
Erlang furrowed his brows.
He took a packet of potato chips and brought it to the small sofa that Gilang and Bintang had sat on the carpet below.
Since when did his love relationship become public consumption?
"It can't be helped, it's bound to happen considering how absurd Lo and Maura's relationship is," said Bintang half-laughing, looking at the big screen in front of him.
Gilang nodded in agreement. "Bintang, you are really genius. Genuine!!" Gilang gave Bintang a thumbs up.
Erlang took a deep breath, It all started with a bet. Anger immediately mixed in his mind.
His gaze glanced at Bintang who had been focused on his game.
"Bintang..." he called.
"Hmm, why?" Bintang still didn't look away.
"Since when are you familiar with Sella? Why did he ask you for help this afternoon?"
Deg..
Bintang stopped his movement, and Gilang automatically cheered because he could beat Bintang's game.
"Yes, I won!!"
Bintang immediately woke up, he looked at the big screen in front of him which read "lost" on the character of the game. The man cursed softly, then snorted.
"Bintang!!" cried Erlang.
He didn't care what his two friends were doing. He just wanted answers. About the Sella.
"Ahh, that's Sella asking for help. It's usually a family problem. You know, my parents and Sella's parents are close friends. So that's how it is." Exclamation Star relaxed.
The man again challenged Gilang to play with him.
Erlang breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately remembered that the relationship between his parents was Bintang and Sella. He even knows Sella because Bintang introduced him first.
But at that time, the interaction between Bintang and Sella was not very obvious. So he forgot that Bintang and Sella were little friends.
"Don't worry Lang. Bintng can't be enemies in a blanket, can they?" Gilang exclaimed.
"Of course!! Hei dude, Sella isn't my type anyway."
"Yes, your type is like stupid and innocent class F kids, like Maura," Gilang grumbled casually.
"Do you like Maura?" asked Erlang surprised. He looked at Bintang who immediately hit Gilang and grumbled while cursing roughly.
"That's good!! It's not! My type is like Taylor swift, beautiful, smart and hot. Not like Maura who innocently asks for forgiveness. My child might be stupid if his mother is like Maura."
"But Maura is sexy," exclaimed Gilang.
Erlang chuckled softly, for some reason he agreed to this one.
---------The Best Valentine-------
A proverb once said that a year's drought would disappear with a day's rain. Ironic indeed, that's how Maura felt.
Status as a good child who tends to relax immediately drowned by the excitement of the news circulating. Not only did her name go viral, even class F was also in the spotlight throughout the school and in several online groups.
'Lucky Cinderella to be Prince Charming's partner from the Phoenix house.'
School is no longer a safe place for Maura. Even the dormitory itself became a terrible place filled with amazement and envy.
Maura arrived in front of the entrance gate, early in the morning by sneaking like a thief late.
Damn it!!
Today there was no question and answer session that was posed by Luna and her dorm friends. They're too busy burning letters that come out of nowhere as well as negative comments on the Libra hostel's official website.
Maybe they don't think about going back to their respective homes, they are too busy even though it's the weekend, it's time to go back home.
As a result, here she was, standing in front of the gate waiting to be picked up by her parents, just as the sun had just left her resting place. The morning dew was immediately felt on her face that was wearing a mask.
Maura lowered the hood of the jacket she was wearing, now her face could not be seen. He had fastened his shoelaces, preparing for a sudden storm.
The arrival of Erlangga Lorenzo a few days ago made Maura's life really change drastically, not in a good sense.
Her life is filled with strange people who chase and try to befriend Maura.
Not to mention the disdainful glances the Phoenix boarding children often gave when they accidentally passed each other.
Maura took a deep breath. Today is the same as the previous days. He came early in order to avoid people who were not interested.
'After returning home, your brain will be calmer. Everything will be fine again on Monday,' Maura whispered to herself.
She tightened her backpack, occasionally glancing around with a sense of trepidation.
"In three days my life was like a celebrity."
"No sweets."
The rationing of gossip, which she always practiced with her fellow campretts in the cafeteria, had to be canceled by Maura for an indefinite period, as she said earlier. Cafeterias are dangerous places in recent days.
Maura breathed a sigh of relief repeatedly. The weight of her body immediately shifted to the slightly mossy parapet. Her face was wrinkled as a result of running here and there.
"What's it like to be an impromptu celebrity?"
Gio suddenly stood beside her. He raised his eyebrows, as if teasing Maura with a small backpack attached to her back.
Maura hissed at the horror, Gio laughed mischievously.
"Should I make a fanclub?"
Maura immediately kicked her cousin's leg. Instead of screaming in pain, Gio laughed loudly. He had already guessed what reaction Maura would make.
"You don't have to join in contributing to shortening my life," Maura grumbled annoyed.
"Who told you to make a riot. You know the consequences yourself, it's karma."
"Karma from Hong Kong. Obviously it's a hoax."
Gio rolled his eyes bored. Maura's denial is like a cheap item on sale. If people say it's wet, they still don't admit it.
"By the way Ra, you didn't really sleep with Erlang, did you?" asked Gio suddenly.
Since a few days ago he had been a little worried about some opinions about his cousin who was caught not coming home until midnight.
His brain pushed away the lewd thoughts that were nesting, it seemed impossible for his cousin who had failed to move on to turn wild just because he met the phoenix prince.
Maura snorted in annoyance, "What do you mean by sleeping together, don't think about things. Our people are playing hide and seek with the school guard. let alone to rest, just getting out under the table is already difficult."
"Yeah, you just made a mistake. Erlang is hotter than Bara."
Shucks!!
Maura grumbled softly while looking away, annoyed. Whatever, the sane succumb and have a lot of patience so that the fortune runs smoothly, Maura thought to herself.
After five minutes later, her mother's car appeared towards them, along with a black luxury car that went straight into the courtyard of the phoenix dormitory.
The car from the ministry…
Maura was silent watching him for a while until a soft pat from Gio leaned him back.
"Come on in, you want us to stay?" he exclaimed.
