"W-Meaning?" Khanza's one hope that Arif answered as he wished. However, reality cannot be set as sweet as expectations.
"Anyway, you shouldn't be close to new people, whether it's a man or a woman," said Arif on the other side.
"Yes, why? Isn't socializing important?" debated Khanza.
A sigh was heard from between Arif's lips. "You're really innocent, Za," he annoyed.
"This is Jakarta. I don't want you to be a victim of irresponsible people. There have been many cases of kidnapping innocent girls like you, and they are being sold abroad. Do you want it?" he said.
Khanza was silent. Turns out it wasn't out of jealousy, he was just a reminder and that's normal in terms of friends, thought Khanza.
Remembering Arif's photo with Vera, the love emoticon caption also seems to confirm that the two are in a relationship. Suddenly, disappointment creeps in and hurts the soul. And the misty clear twinkle wet the eyes of the poor girl's brown eyes.
"Za," Arif called.
"Y-Yes." wiping a single tear on his cheek, he wanted to end this conversation immediately.
"Did you hear what I said? Don't ever be carelessly influenced by new people," Arif remembered once again.
"Y-Yes, I-I heard. I-I'll close it, Rif, I-want to take a shower," he lied.
"Hmm."
Phone line ended. Khanza also brought the flat object to his chest. The pain just kept stabbing in the chest.
"Why do I have to be in this pain? Don't I understand what love is?"
Slowly he lay back on the bed, opening social media, Arif's post was still clearly displayed there. And this time there are actually a lot of comments as a complementary seasoning.
Opens with shaking hands. Vera's name is pinned there. Love emoticons in return are like salt sprinkled on Khanza's gaping wound. "Don't tell me they're already together?"
Congratulations from the cute gang and Arif's friends answered everything. "It's true they're dating." Khanza's tears came back unstoppable right.
[Tomorrow's treat] Writes Sony approved by Arif with thumbs up emoticon.
"I have to get away now before it's too late."

"Argh!" Arif's growl echoed in the room. Throwing his flat object, the man immediately went to the bathroom and washed his face.
"Why don't I like seeing Khanza close with other men?" Talking to himself in the mirror, he already knew the answer. It's just that he respects selfishness more than the feeling of love. Looking for a reasonable alibi so that the friend does not suspect that he has different feelings.
"I can't be like this. Khanza is far from my ideal type of girl, and now I'm dating Vera."
Remember the new lover. Arif had already expressed his love that was not from the bottom of his heart to Vera. .mode invites a short walk, he also launched an action for personal gain.
"Um ... can I be honest or not?" said Arif after they had sat down on a row of cinema benches.
"Okay, just say it." A beautiful smile never faded from Vera's sweet lips. Took a few grains of popcorn, he filled his mouth. But dumbfounded when Arif even held his hands.
My heart, Vera thought.
"Actually, since we first met in the school garden, I already have a different view of you. and now I just realized that it turned out to be a form of love that comes without being asked. Now I don't want to hide it, I'm also afraid that it will end up regretting because beautiful women are usually targeted by many."
Cold sweat soaked all the curves of Vera's body. He could already guess where this conversation was going. His heart was beating fast, because honestly he felt the same.
"That's why on this occasion I want to ask you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
A blush spread across Vera's cheeks. Nodding shyly, he was a little embarrassed to accept the offer. But it was undeniable that he was afraid that second chances would no longer be available. It's better to agree now than to be a regret boomerang.
"Y-yes I-I m-wanna."
"Yes!" Arif exclaimed happily. Staring deeply at Vera, he was lost in thought.
Yes. It's also okay to look for entertainment all the time at school, Arif thought.
"So we're dating now?" definitely Arif once again.
And Vera's nod tugged at the corner of the man's lips. I did it, now it's time for me to show off, he suggested himself.
Taking out a sophisticated object, Arif asked Vera to take a photo together. Looking for the right pose, he immediately uploaded it on his personal social media account.
Let Randra be surprised to see this, Arif thought.
And unexpectedly, it was Khanza who was shocked.

Ting!
The notification sound on the phone is heard. Arif, who had just come out of the bathroom, was looking for the object he had thrown carelessly earlier. After finding it, he then checked it.
"There's a comment notification," he muttered.
Reviewing the smile, it turns out that his post with Vera has received many likes and responses.
"Now I'm the winner Rand," he said proudly. "Tomorrow I'll get your promise."

leaving the story of Arif and Khanza.
Nadia—a beautiful girl who is often called Dea. Friends with Khanza because the little girl often helps him, especially from the cute gang who for some reason feel Dea is a threat to them.
Starting from the incident that morning, until today Dea has always been an easy target for slander. fortunately he can always prove, that he is not what they accuse him of.
"If there was no Khanza, I might have just moved out of that school," Dea murmured, who was pensively looking up at the evening sky on her balcony.
He took several deep breaths. ."Until now Randra also doesn't remember who I am?" gloomy. "And I. I'll never forget what happened three months ago."
When the beautiful girl came home from school farewell. I don't know why my brother couldn't pick him up. Waiting for a taxi for a while, it turns out that the transportation service is actually not visible.
Until the school is deserted, and criminals act as they please. Two thugs approached, he threatened and tried to harass the girl.
"Help!"
"Help!"
"Help!"
No one. The school security guard has also taken control of the school backwards.
"Shut up! Or this sharp weapon will rip your mouth out!" threatened one of the stocky men.
Cold sweat covered Dea's chest. A sharp knife intimidated his stomach. Suddenly burst into tears, he didn't know what to do.
"Let's just take him across the empty house Boss."
Dragged across the street, Dea surrendered. Maybe this is his way. Instead of dying and only the name remains.
Maybe after this my life will be different. Broken and far from a perfect future.
The image of how he would be crushed by the two thugs had already crossed his mind badly. While sobbing, Dea could only pray.
Hopefully there is an angel sent by God to help me.
And ...
"Stop you guys!.let the girl go!"
A handsome young man like an angel came with his iron horse. Immediately jumping he beat two men on the left and right of Dea.
"The stinky kencur kid wants to get involved," said one of the thugs.
"Don't talk too much. Get up you guys!" he challenged.
"Watch out!" Dea screamed when a sharp object almost grabbed the man.
Bug!
Bug!
Bug!
There was an unbalanced duel between two fierce thugs and a young boy in blue and white uniform there. I don't know who will win, hopefully soon there will be more help that comes before things get worse.
