- Two days earlier, in the great hall -
What Bintang said was right on target. For three years, Erlang studied at this place. three years in the same dormitory, the Phoenix dorm. But still, his love story did not make the slightest progress.
Sella Amzella is the youngest daughter of his father's close friend. She is an innocent girl who is smart and dignified. She is also beautiful and elegant, which is typical of upper-class children.
The dream girl for any man.
Like tulips blooming in a greenhouse. No one could get close, they could only stare at her from the outside. Likewise, with Erlangga.
His love story is like a fairy tale book that can only be imagined in a dream.
A small wind suddenly blew as someone came and placed their backpack right on the table in the great hall. The sound of falling objects startled the two men who were laying their heads on the table.
"It's still morning. Why are your faces wrinkled?" Gilang's voice came buzzing to fulfill Erlang's annoyance, and Bintang, who had almost closed his eyes, was sleepy.
Bintang muttered softly as he raised one hand without moving from its original position. While Erlang pushed up, straightened his body, and leaned against the back of the chair.
His gray irises immediately explored the entire contents of the large hall, which was already filled with students from other dormitories. Warm light shone through the large windows that soared almost to the hall ceiling. The thick curtains were left open.
The man observed that almost all the tables were occupied by each dorm. Phoenix is on the far right, Pegasus is in the middle, and Libra is on the far left. After glancing at him, he quickly turned his head away.
Erlang yawned slowly while babbling in his heart. I don't know whose fault it was in the morning that he should have had a schedule for sleeping because school was off. Now even impromptu classes are held in the great hall.
Damn it!! He's very sleepy.
"Drink coffee if you're sleepy." Gilang gave advice.
"I don't like coffee," Erlang exclaimed.
The man turned to Bintang, who was fast asleep in an unnatural position. When he wakes up later, the bastard must be in pain.
Erlang sighed heavily. This is all because of Bintang, who asked him to stay up all night. And unfortunately, he also lost the bet earlier.
'Just watch out later, when the impudent boy is off guard. He made sure the time was right to send him to the funeral quickly.'
"Isn't today a day off? Why is there an impromptu class? "asked Erlang.
Gilang shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows? Maybe there are researchers from the ministry who will give a public lecture. "
"Wasting time."
"Ish!! Don't be arrogant, Lang, you'll just get the taste later. "
Erlang rolled his eyes, bored. At the same time, a group of children ran in a hurry because the principal and the resource person for this public lecture had already walked in.
His eyebrows shot up as he stared at the one a girl who nearly fell to the floor. Erlang chuckled for a moment. The girl immediately covered her face with both hands. Her long hair was left loose, helping to hide her blushing face from embarrassment. Then she walked back to the end of the table. joined his dorm mates.
Libra's dormitory was the lowest class.
"That one's name is Maura," Gilang shouted.
Erlang looked to the side. Gilang looked in the same direction as him.
Now the girl has removed the hair from her face. Her skin looks radiant when the sun shines through and bounces off. Her skin tone contrasts with her slightly dark hair.
Her irises were sharp as a dark night. Her lips were thin and she looked a little irritated. The girl looks familiar to Erlang. But that doesn't mean he knows her.
"How do you know that woman's name is Maura?" asked Erlang finally. There was no nametag on his uniform.
"You can believe it or not, but... that Bintang has the pictures. He just showed them before he came back to the room. "
Erlang turned to look at Bintang, who was still lost in his dreams. His brow furrowed in confusion. How could Bintang have that woman's photo? Has his friend been a stalker all this time?
"I don't know why or what happened to this friend. But maybe he's not in good condition, the medicine must have been mixed. Gilang makes a joke.
Erlang chuckled. The man nodded in agreement. Bintang Pradipta is rarely involved with other people, let alone a girl. He knew very well that this one friend preferred to be alone and sleep.
But behind that, only a few people who are closest to the bastard know how ignorant the bastard is.
"He's too busy wasting his life sleeping all the time and opportunity."
"Maybe we can build a coffin next time."
"Damn you, Lang! My friend prayed for a fast death. "
"Isn't that wrong? I suggest sleeping in the morgue, it's better in a coffin. At least it belongs to one person, not one for all. " Erlang explained.
"I've never talked to you about it. That's the girls' share. "
Simultaneously, the star rose from its original position. His eyes stared intently at his two friends, who looked taken aback by his sudden action.
Gilang looked at Erlang, then looked back at Bintang, who was already standing in his position.
"Wow, are you awake? "Are you satisfied with your sleep?" he joked.
"Not satisfied, because I had a dream that my friends were talking about me secretly." Exclaimed Bintang.
"Are you awake? Since when? "
"Because you mentioned something about Maura."Bintang hissed in annoyance. He's got a god-level temper. "Never mind, there's no need to worry anymore. And you know, Bintang turned to look at Erlang and said, "Don't forget the bet." He exclaimed.
Erlang smiled wryly. The vengeful one.
***
In the afternoon, after leaving the great hall, the three of them sat down and relaxed at the very end table, in the corner of the cafeteria.
Bintang suggested it so that Erlang could see more clearly who Maura Magen was.
The target of their bet.
"Get out of the way, you're blocking my view." Gilang kicked the Bintang chair in front of him.
"Ish, listen, Gilang Jupiter. We're on a mission, not watching a stick-to-stupid screen! " Bintang returned his kick, which was not necessary.
Sometimes Erlang is confused by the behavior of his two friends. He was said to be sane, but he was not willing if the title was pinned on the two creatures in front of him.
But if you say it's not sane. That means he's friends with crazy people. Seriously,
"Lang!! Look, don't get the wrong target, it's going to be a mess. " Bintang warned him again, for the umpteenth time.
"What do you think my eyes are blind to?"
"Yeah, who knows, right?"
Erlang groaned softly. The man looked back at the center table where the two girl of the Libra dorm were occupied. Not pretty and not attractive. What is the basis for Bintang Pradipta to annoy that woman? It can't just be an annoyance, can it?
"Have you prepared the voice, Lang?" asked Bintang. The man was most enthusiastic about this plan.
Erlang nodded as he took out a letter wrapped in a black envelope.
Gilang immediately grabbed it before Erlang spoke. The man took out his letter and read it quickly. "You're quoting poetry, Lang?"
Bintang squinted, "Not very good."
"Don't laugh," said Erlang. Thankfully, he wanted to write a letter.
Gilang covered his mouth to prevent his booming voice from escaping.
"No address," Bintang said.
"Indeed, you have to use the address. After all, it will be delivered immediately. Erlang is too lazy to write back. He was running out of time to find disgusting words to write.
"Here, let me write the address," said Gilang quickly.
