Three days after being hospitalized, Elea finally returned to school as usual.
As usual, Elea was escorted by a driver who worked at her house.
"Yaiy! Our princess has gone to school as usual. Oh my god! I really miss you, you know," said Devika enthusiastically.
Elea smiled broadly at the adorable behavior of her two best friends. Even though Fiona didn't say a word, she knew the smile she gave him explained how happy Fiona was.
"What's wrong with you, El? How come you don't reply to any of my chats, El?" shouted Ervin suddenly appeared.
"You don't know that El is ...," Devika's words were cut off when Elea grabbed her hand.
"No, I'm just tired, Er. That's why I rested three days ago completely," explained Elea.
"Well, let's go to class first, El. See you in class, bye!" Fiona said realizing that Elea was feeling uncomfortable.
Elea pulled her two friends into the classroom which was still a little quiet.
"Why can't Ervin know about your illness?" Fiona asked curiously.
"I'm asking for help. Please don't tell him anything about my illness. I don't want him to feel sorry for me," Elea asked.
"He doesn't feel sorry for you he is..."
Before Fiona finished speaking, Elea immediately cut her off.
"Care? Love me? So where do you want my fiancé to go, Fi?" asked Elea as she glared at Fiona.
"Are you that serious with Alvin? Then why do you give hope to Ervin?" Fiona asked trying to understand Elea's thoughts.
"Alvin has been my playmate since childhood. He knows me better than anyone, Fi. I'm also more comfortable with him. I have feelings for Ervin, but I don't want to burden him," explained Elea with teary eyes.
"Well, if that's what you choose. We always support you. But you have to make sure you're happy, right, El?" said Devika while wiping Elea's tears that started to fall.
"Hmm," Elea mumbled.
"Wait! Isn't Alvin Ervin's cousin? I just remembered, Ervin once posted a photo of him with Alvin when they were on vacation together," said Fiona.
"Yeah. That's what makes me sick," explained Elea with tears in her eyes again.
If she had to choose, she would obviously prefer Ervin the guy she likes. However, if he did that his mother would definitely be disappointed. After all, Alvin wasn't that bad.
Even so, Elea is still not ready to hurt Ervin's heart by telling how she and Alvin are related. She's not ready.

That afternoon Fiona and Devika promised to watch a high school football match.
"Ervin, Yoseph, and Fandi are in the same team? Wow, it's going to be really fun, Fi!" Devika exclaimed enthusiastically.
"Yes, because for you, right, if handsome boys are gathered at one time, it's a pleasure that is a shame to pass up. Admit it!" quipped Fiona.
Devika chuckled confirming Fiona's statement.
"You're a tomboy, Fi. I want to ask, what does finalty mean?" ask
Devika doubts.
"Yeah I'm just a tomboy, Dev. Not a boy, I don't know what all boys like. I don't know football either, I don't like that."
"If about Yos. Do you like it or not?" asked Devika who almost spat out mineral water.
"I almost choked. Gosh! Your question," said Fiona, staring sarcastically.
"Why are you upset, Fi? I was just asking."
"Whatever, Dev. Whatever!" said Fiona relented.
When the three of them took a break, the girls approached the soccer team.
"Hi, Fan, Yos, Er..." said Devika.
Devika handed me three medium-sized bottles of mineral water.
"Where for me, Dev? How come they are the only ones given? Very favoritism," Fiona grumbled as she pursed her lips.
"You don't exercise! You don't have to protest too much."
"I'm also tired of clapping, cheering for you. It's dragging my throat," said Fiona, still not giving in.
"Here, I have cold mineral water. Do you want it?" said Fandi while offering mineral water along with a straw.
"Thankyou, Fandi, who has been single for a long time," Fiona teased.
"Oh, it's really bad! It's really fun watching soap operas, the beautiful monkeys who are...twins!" Fandi exclaimed with a smirk.
Fiona was startled widening her eyes. He took a deep breath trying to calm herself from the emotions.
"Damn it, how can he taunt me at a time like this!" Fiona muttered, staring intently at Fandi.
Meanwhile, Yoseph was annoyed to see the closeness of the two of them. If he was the one who approached, Fiona seemed indifferent but why did she become this close. His pride as the most handsome guy as well as the guy who is famous for rejecting girls feels almost broken.
"You guys are very close huh, Fi?" mumbled Joseph quietly.
"What happen with you? Take a breath like that, Yos?" asked Ervin who heard Yoseph's sigh.
"Hmm? Me? n-no. It's okay, I just want to," explained Yoseph looking for an excuse.
"Fi! There's going to be camping soon. Are you coming along right? Can you accompany me to buy accessories?" invite Devika.
"It's a scout camp, isn't it? It's not a fashion show. Why buy accessories," Fiona grumbled.
Devika raised her left lip sarcastically, "Why don't you come along, you're so fussy! I want to buy couple accessories. Can you please?" please Devika put her hands together in front of her chest.
"Yeah but-"
Before Fiona finished speaking, Devika immediately rejoiced herself.
Without waiting any longer, that afternoon they headed to the Accessories shop. Fiona and Devika entered one of the roadside Accessories Shops.
"Why are you breathing like that, Dev? You're complaining about your life," Fiona asked, continuing to look at accessories.
"Why don't you just go shopping at the mall, Fi? So you don't get tired of going back and forth to shops on the side of the road like this!" Devika complained.
"Expensive! You want a couple with me, so it has to fit in my pocket. And..." Fiona said silencing Devika's mouth who just wanted to speak.
"I don't want to be treated. I can buy it with my own money, no buts!" added Fiona.
"Hmm. I think your economy is getting better now because you're moving out of rent. Isn't that right?"
"The economy is getting better, my parents are not me!" said Fiona.
"Oh, there's someone whose economy is getting better. Congrats, sistur!" Firda's cynical smile suddenly appeared in front of them.
Fiona sighed trying not to get emotional. Looks like this one girl will be another homework for him, not to mention when he found out Yoseph gave mineral water some time ago.
"What the hell, this astral creature!" Fiona muttered.
"Do you feel like you're the queen at school? Don't dream about it! Just because your teacher praised you for your quiz score yesterday, you're close to Yoseph, you have rich friends. Do you really feel like you're the queen?" quipped Firda.
Devika's feet wanted to step forward but Fiona's hand held her back.
Fiona laughed sarcastically.
"Fir, why? Are you jealous of me? Yoseph and I don't have any relationship anymore. I'm not going to take him from you, so don't worry. Yoseph, Ervin or other guy friends who others are just friends for me and nothing more," explained Fiona smiling.
"Jealousy means insecure," said Devika sarcastically and then went after Fiona.
"Damn it, how dare he answer me like this!" Firda said throwing her hands away while looking at Fiona's back sarcastically.
Maybe some devious plans were hatching in his mind. Maybe by making Fiona restless at school. She will do anything, as long as Yoseph is no longer close to the tomboy girl.
Firda approached Fiona and Devika at the cash register.
"Hey, you heard that! I've never been jealous or insecure with you. I've won from the start!" said Firda not wanting to lose. Fiona sighed.
"Okay I believe," Fiona said.
However, instead of being calm, it made him want to rage even more. To him, that meant this meager girl was calling for war.
"Do you really think that Yoseph is a trophy that everyone can win. Win or lose is crazy!" cynical Devika.
"Yes, Devs!" whispered Fiona.
Firda growled.
"Fifty thousand in total," said the store cashier.
"I paid two hundred thousand but that's for me huh!" Firda ordered.
"What the hell, you! It's really tacky you know?!" Devika exclaimed looking at Firda sharply.
Suddenly a man appeared behind them.
"I paid five hundred thousand, Ma'am!" said Yoseph looking at Firda sarcastically.
"Yo-seph?" said Firda surprised.
Now she is getting more and more embarrassed when she meets Yoseph.
