In the school parking lot, Tiffany and Gio are walking side by side behind Ara and a man who is none other than Ara's boyfriend, Juna. Yes, the four of them previously went together because since early in the morning Tiffany had come to Gio's house with 2 lunch boxes that she had specially prepared for Gio and Ara. Hmm, why did Tiffany bring Ara lunch too? Because it was confirmed that if Tiffany only gave the food to Gio, the man would immediately refuse.
"Gio, we'll rest together, okay?" asked Tiffany, smiling at Gio.
"Yes." replied the man briefly without turning to Tiffany.
After they arrived in front of the school gate, then the three of them separated from their girlfriend Ara.
"Bye!!!" said the two girls when her boyfriend Ara had walked a little far. Without waiting any longer the three of them immediately walked into the school area and headed for class.

"Have you heard? Ara's boyfriend is back!."
"Eh? Are you serious?."
"Yes, when I lied, what's the point, stupid?!."
"Shut, don't make a fuss, or else Ara hears you know...."
"Yeah, it's okay, after all, they're just dating, not engaged or married, so anyone can still try to get close to Juna."
"Are you sure? I heard that, Juna loves Ara. Yes, you can't be closer."
"He's also a boy, it's like a cat, if you give him salted fish, he won't refuse."
"But, my cat doesn't want salted fish, because my cat is a classy cat." said a girl who had been sitting behind them for some time.
Suddenly the three of them were shocked and fell silent. Hearing the girl's voice seemed to succeed in making their throats choke.
"Ti-Tiffany?"
"Tiff-?...."
Yes, that is so. Tiffany, is feared by all the students at this school because of her extraordinary connection, but of course it's the opposite if the girl has faced Gio or Ara.
"Next time, if you want to talk about people, look at the class first. If your class is like Juna, how can rotten salted fish like your work, at least if you turn salted fish it shouldn't be rotten, bro, huft!." continued Tiffany, who then left.
Tiffany approached Ara who was in the front row on the left, she sat next to Ara and watched the girl's movements.
"Why?." Ara asked when she realized the existence of Tiffany.
"No, Tiffany just wants to know what Gio likes about Ara."
"Hah?." asked Ara who did not understand what Tiffany meant.
"Is that so?... hehe, it's only natural that he's not interested in Tiffany. But that's okay, Tiffany will attract Gio in her way." she said with a smile.
"What do you mean? I.. don't get it, seriously." asked Ara again.
"I don't mean anything, I just want to know how your daily life is, okay? Hmm, what I mean is simple, I want to be your playmate every day, how about that?."
"Um, it's okay, as long as I'm not busy lately." "Well, sip, how about the weekend we go to...." "How about the beach?" Ara suggested.
"Well, yes. But I can go after the meeting with my brother is over, okay? Is it okay? We're leaving a bit late?."
"Yeah, it's okay, Juna must also be busy even though it's the weekend."
"Oh, Juna will come with you? Ciee.... let's have a double date, it's really fun!! I can't wait."
"Haha, that's how it is."
The two of them continued to talk during the free hour.
On the other side, Gio was laying down right in the middle of the basketball court inside his school's gym. Meanwhile, his other teammates were busy sitting in a row on the edge of the field.
"Whoa, Gio! Come here!!" call one of his teammates.
"Later!." he answered shortly and then closed his eyes.
Flashback on...
"Gioo, come catch me!" screamed a girl who had long bangs that almost covered her eyes, she ran to and fro to avoid Gio who kept chasing her.
Surprisingly, the girl didn't feel tired at all, unlike Gio, who had repeatedly fallen on the grass in his yard so that without the boy noticing his knee was already injured and bleeding.
"Gio, blood!" screamed the girl who realized the wound on Gio's knee, but Gio didn't even pay attention to the girl, all he thought in his head was that he just wanted to catch the girl so she would stop being a "dog".
Bruk!
In the end, Gio managed to catch the girl but both of them fell and as a result, an incident happened which is usually caught in scenes in dramas.
"Why Gio?" asked the girl when she found Gio just silent next to her.
Gio's cheeks suddenly turned red without permission which was getting hotter and hotter, Gio just kept quiet while looking at the beautiful face next to him.
"Ugh, your cheeks are hot, Gio!" said the girl as she kept turning her hand on Gio's cheek.
"D-don't touch it!" said Gio shouting a little. He immediately stood up and away from the girl, turned his face and regained his breath.
"Don't touch my face again next time, Ara." he said and then walked away.
Flashback off...
"Since then huh?" said Gio in his heart.
°
The weekend has arrived, and the three of them are sitting in a waiting room that is quite magnificent. Yes, they are waiting for Tiffany to finish the meeting, which I don't know when. But fortunately, the girl had prepared everything, from food, drinks and spectacle so that the three of them didn't get tired of waiting.
"Luckily Tiffany prepared this, otherwise I wouldn't want me to wait long like this." Gio's dumbbells.
"Well, shut up, Gio. You can't say that, people have good intentions, don't be bullied."
"Yes, yes Ra yes...."
Juna shifted his seat a little closer to Ara.
"Ra, I'll be home in a week, okay? Tiara is sick and needs a check-up next week." he whispered which managed to make Ara silent and again felt a little tightness in her chest.
"Tiara again?." she said softly so as not to be heard by Gio, he just didn't want to spoil the atmosphere today.
"Please understand, Ra. Tiara only has me in this world. Do you know? Ra...."
"Yeah, there's no need to go into further detail. It's up to you what you want to do, I'm fine." cut Ara who then immediately moved to the seat next to Gio.
"Oh sorry, it's been too long huh?."
Everyone in the room immediately turned to Tiffany who had just arrived, the girl was standing in the doorway breathlessly.
"Are you running?." asked Gio who then stood up and walked over to Tiffany.
"Haha, yes. It took so long." Tiffany answered, wiping the sweat off her forehead.
"Eh, don't wear your sleeves, okay?." Gio thrust his handkerchief at Tiffany.
Of course, what just had a bad impact on Tiffany's heart, the girl felt her heart suddenly disappear without a trace!
"Ouch!." said Tiffany suddenly, her body slightly staggered to the side.
"Uh why?." said Gio who was ready to catch Tiffany.
"Tiffany's heart was lost because of Gio's kindness just now!!." Exasperated Tiffany that without realizing it she touched the cheek ah no, she even pinched Gio's cheek with exasperation.
Seeing that, Ara was silent and even she was a little scared now, what if Gio was annoyed with Tiffany's attitude just now? The problem is, a long time ago Ara also touched Gio's cheek and it ended with Gio's frustration with him, the man inhabited Ara for days.
"I asked you why, Tiffany? Why are you pinching my cheeks?." asked Gio.
"Uh wait?" Ara asked in her heart.
Gio's response just now wasn't what Ara feared, such a normal response.
"Tiffany already answered, because it was good Gio just now, Tiffany's heart suddenly disappeared! Here's her handkerchief, thank you, you know." he said then wiped all traces of sweat off his face.
"Slowly, or your make-up will wear off." said Gio who wanted to prank the girl, but didn't.
"Tiffany only uses skincare and basic make-up when she goes to the office, it's not too thick and she also uses waterproof, wlekk!." Tiffany replied which ended by sticking her tongue out at the man. "You ugly bastard!" Gio sneered, annoyed that his prank didn't work.
"The important thing is to make Gio comfortable, enough. Haha." he replied again.
"Come on, don't fight so much. So we're going, aren't we?" asked Ara.
"Stop over to my apartment first, okay? Get what I left behind." said Juna.
"Oh, it's okay, where is it?" she asked.
"On Jalan Bunga Tulip there, near Indomaret Baru, near the house of Mr. Diandro, your papa's best friend, right?."
"Oh there, okay."
Without waiting any longer, they went straight to the car and drove to Juna's apartment.
°
Ara walked around the living room of her boyfriend's apartment, she hadn't been to this apartment in a long time, because usually when Juna returned to Indonesia, Ara would only be taken to an apartment not far from her house. He paid attention to the items one by one in detail until he finally realized an oddity.
"Isn't this a photo of me when I was little?" she said to himself as she took a photo frame that was quite small in size, hidden behind a larger photo frame.
