"Take good care of other people's children, Jun. Don't act weird. You know what Raina's father was like, right?" Whispered Kenzo in Raden's ear.
"Yes! Besides, who wants to be weird Raina, wait for it to be halal first."
Well this is just right!
"Pftttt, you don't have to fantasize. You can't even get Raina's heart. Just do what you have, Jun, you don't have to hope too much. I'm sorry if your hopes don't live up to expectations. Many people are hurt because their hopes don't live up to expectations." kenzo patted Raden on the shoulder, "I'll be back. Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam." Raden and Raina replied simultaneously after that Kenzo walked past the two of them.
The story is that Kenzo Lionel Pram continues his activities to spread charm while walking to the parking lot.
Because Kenzo's wide back was not visible, Raden turned to Raina with a smile.
"If it's not a sin to hold your hand, Rain. I'll do it now to calm you down. I know you'll be worried if Kenzo asks Haidar directly about that." A second later Raden shook his head, "No-no, what's wrong with you, Jun. Comfort Raina who is worried not by holding her hand, Jun. Sometimes you likes to look for opportunities while Raina never gives you a chance." Said Raden to himself.
"Rain." Raden tried to call a girl and it was true that Raina was worried because when Raden called Raina's name, the girl's face looked tense, "Are you okay?" asked Raden softly.
"O-oh yeah, I'm fine."
Raden smiled, "You were worried if Kenzo asked Haidar directly about this, right?" Raina nodded her head to answer Raden's question, "Don't worry. I guarantee Kenzo won't ask Haidar directly."
Raina returned Raden's gaze, "Are you sure that Kenzo won't ask Haidar?" Raden nodded, "But what if Kenzo really asks Haidar, he's a reckless person. I'm afraid Haidar will be angry with me later."
"Hey, trust me, Rain. Kenzo won't ask Haidar, if he dares to do it I'll be responsible for it." Raden pointed to himself, "You really didn't have any intention to tell me at first."
"If I didn't ask, you wouldn't have told me. Calm down Rain, I will take responsibility if Haidar gets mad at you." Raden tried to convince Raina so that the girl would not worry anymore.
"But why are you responsible, Aden? You are not wrong."
Raden shook his head "Even though you think I'm not wrong, but I feel guilty. Everything starts from the questions that come out of my mouth so please allow me to endure everything, okay?"
Raina is silent.
"You trust me right?"
"Y-yes, I believe in you."
"Good. Well, you don't need to think about that anymore, now we have to quickly leave campus and go to the city library. If our work is done, Kenzo's problem will be easy."
Raina nodded her head in agreement with Raden's words, "Yes."
Raden invited Raina to walk side by side, the boy occasionally glanced at Raina then smiled, "I'm surprised, Raina just keeps quiet she's really pretty especially when she smiles." Raden said to himself.
"Rain, why do you keep lowering your headthere are people beside you, don't just stay silent when you talk to me."
Raina turned her head and Raden immediately smiled sweetly so that her very thin dimples were visible, "Ahh, I'm sorry that I've been silent all along."
"It's okay. But seriously, Rain. I once thought that you and Haidar were dating because you and Haidar were really close." Raden said again.
"Yeah, many have told me that I and Haidar are dating." Raina answered soberly.
Because it's true that many people in her campus said that Raina and Haidar were dating, so Raina was used to it when she heard it from Raden.
"Well, aren't you uncomfortable with Rain?"
Raina shut up.
"Well, maybe you are uncomfortable because many people say you and Haidar are dating. In reality you and Haidar are not dating right, Rain?"
Raina shook her head, "At first it was really awkward but after a while I got used to it, they will find out by themselves if Haidar and I are not dating."
Raina turned to Raden, "It's useless that I'm tired of explaining but they don't believe it. In fact, Haidar and I have been friends since childhood so Haidar and I seem very close."
"But have you ever had feelings for Haidar or not, Rain? You meet almost every day, it's impossible for you and Haidar to never have feelings for you."
Raina held the two straps of her bag then muttered, "Ehmmm, how about that. What do you mean by I like Haidar? If I like my best friend, I'm sure there will be."
"The feeling of liking a girl for a boy, Rain. Have you ever felt that feeling while being friends with Haidar?" Raden asked.
"I don't know."
Hearing Raina's answer, Raden's heart beat fast.
Just blame Raina for not answering Raden's words clearly.
The girl actually answered that she didn't know so there were two possibilities.
Raina likes Haidar.
Or-
Raina doesn't like Haidar.
"If you ask me like that, I don't know. I already consider Haidar like my own brother. Me and Haidar are just friends, there is no intention to have a relationship more than friends."
"But what if for example Haidar likes you, Rain. Are you angry or not?"
Raina chuckled while covering her mouth with one hand, "Pffttt, Haidar won't like me, Aden. You're weird. Haidar is the same as me, he considers me like his own sister so he can't possibly like me."
"You can talk like that because you don't know what Haidar's heart is for you, Rain. Maybe he likes you but deliberately suppresses his feelings because he's afraid you won't feel comfortable with his feelings. Haidar is afraid that you will stay away from him if you know his true feelings."
Raina was silent, all this time Raina did not know Haidar's feelings for her. Raina only thinks that Haidar will definitely think of her as a brother and nothing more.
But is it possible that Haidar likes Raina like what Raden said?
"Ahh no, that's impossible. Haidar only thinks of me as his friend, no more, right?" Raina asked herself.
"Incidentally, you don't know Haidar's true feelings for you, so from now on maybe you should start keeping your distance from him a little, Rain. I don't mean to not allow you to be friends anymore, Rain!" raden quickly explained before Raina misunderstood what he said while moving his hand, "Because there will be many people who will misunderstand the closeness between us and Haidar. You heard from Haidar yourself that a girl approached him?"
Raina nodded her head.
"From now on you better keep your distance from Haidar, I'm afraid the girl who is getting close to Haidar will misunderstand and so she doesn't like you who are too close to Haidar, RainMaybe everyone on campus knows you are friends, but not everyone accepts the closeness between you and Haidar, Rain."
"Just take me as an example, I sometimes don't like it and at the same time don't accept it when I see you being close to Haidar." continued Raden in his heart.
