Chapter 25 - On the way home

"Yes, you deliberately want to tease Reno?! You cheap bastard!" snapped Wiwin.

"Wiwin watch your mouth! I, Nimas, and Reno have been friends since a long time ago. We are friends from elementary school, even Nimas and Reno have known each other and been friends before you!" said Widya looking very annoyed.

"Wid, why are you defending her anyway!" Winwin protested.

"Obviously I'm defending her, Nimas is my best friend and I won't let anyone insult her, including you Win!"

Widya was very angry, while Wiwin was silent hugging her arms in front of her chest, her face looked very annoyed and disliked me even more.

"The event is over, I thank you very much for coming to my birthday," said Widya.

"Wid, I don't think you're acting like this just because of her." said Winwin.

"And I'm Win, I'm disappointed in you for not respecting my friend and you even insulted her! Now you better go" Widya replied, silenced the arrogant girl.

Winwin was speechless. "Come on guys, time for us to go!" said Wiwin immediately left us just like that.

"Wiidya, Nimas, sorry for Wiwin's attitude. We'll go home first," some of Wiwin's friends said goodbye and shook hands with us.

"Yeah, it's okay, you guys be careful on the road. And thank you for coming," replied Widya. They smiled and waved their hands.

"Thank goodness they're gone" Reno said standing with Dika right behind me.

"Where have you been! Do you know? Wiwin attacked Nimas just now!" said Widya still annoyed.

"Huh? Nimas was attacked? Take a look at Nimas, are you injured?" Dika said. Ridiculously he immediately held my cheeks with great exasperation.

"What the heck just playing hold!" My protest immediately clapped Dika's hands tightly.

"Oh my God so fierce" muttered Dika surprised.

"I can break your arm too if I want!" I said again while stroking my cheek. While Dika immediately shifted to hide behind Reno.

"Ren, it turns out she's also a sadist!" whispered Dika.

"I heard that" I said glancing at Dika sharply. While Reno just grinned at him.

"That's not what Dika meant!" said Widya. "Wiwin has a crush on Reno, she accuses Nimas of teasing you Ren, maybe she does that because she is jealous," explained Widya.

W... What? As I expected, from the way she looked, it seemed that Wiwin was jealous of me.

"Haha. That's why I deliberately heated her up so she wouldn't get too close." Reno replied without feeling guilty.

"Oh so you're using me?!" I said, Reno just grinned scratching his head that didn't itch. "Wiwin is beautiful, you really want her, why don't you just accept her? Instead of her going crazy because of jealousy right?!" I said again.

"Yes. Indeed she is beautiful, she is a girl everyone's criteria except me. I prefer simple girls" Reno said looking at me deeply. Makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Cieeee" Dika said appearing briefly then hide again.

"I know that Wiwin is close to me too just to chase you Ren, if it wasn't crowded I would have slapped her" said Widya.

"Never mind Wid, it's not a big problem. It's just a misunderstanding, I'm fine too. It's already late, our parents must also be worried waiting for us at home. Can we go home now?" I said.

"Gosh. It's half past nine already" Widya was surprised to see his watch.

"Reno, Dika. We're in the same direction right? Do you want to help bring the presents?" I said asking for help.

"That's right, accompany us to go home," said Widya.

While Reno and Dika were silent looking at each other. "By the way of your village grave?" he asked.

"Yeah. It's closer that way, right? If we turn around, we might arrive at 11 o'clock," said Widya.

Actually there is doubt in my feelings, Dika and Reno also look a bit worried. They must be thinking the same thing as what I'm thinking, but Widya is also right, it's just that the route is faster than having to go around through the sub-districts.

"Are you sure you want to go there?" he asked.

"Yes, why?" said Widya, who didn't know yet. "O, ow..." said Widya again. Her expression immediately changed as she bit lower lip.

While we were silent, we stared at Widya carefully. "It's okay, we're all together so it's not too scary. Right?" I said breaking the moments.

We know, everyone knows the story that is happening on the road to our village cemetery. Even recently no one dared to go there, they better turn around even if it's far away. But we didn't dare to mention it, even just by looking at each other, we could tell that what we were worried about was the same thing.

"If it weren't for you ladies! We don't want to go there," protested Dika.

"Um... Or not, later when we're about to pass the tomb. Let's just stop first, while waiting for the vehicle to pass. How about that?" said Widya.

"Yes, if there is, what if not? Do you want to wait until morning there?" said Reno.

"Don't think about it too much, later it will become a suggestion and we will be even more afraid because of our own thoughts. Come on, let's clean up our luggage and then we can hurry home" I said.

They nodded in agreement.

"Nimas, you'll take Reno's pillion later. Dika help me later, you will take my motorbike, I'll ride with you," said Widya.

"How come you're the piggyback!" Dika protested.

"Yes, yes. So I can close my eyes later if I'm scared!"

"You cheat" Dika said annoyed but resigned.

All gifts are divided into two so that they can be taken by motorbike. That night we went home hand in hand, Widya was hitched by Dika and I was hitched by Reno. And the journey begins.

We still feel fine when we are still driving on city streets, but our hearts are still beating fast when we start to go through country roads.

"Nimas, are you scared?" he asked.

"Um, just a little nervous. But just bismillah, I hope there's nothing wrong," I said. "Oh yes Ren, if I may ask how Wiwin got to know you? You guys are from different schools" I said changing the mood.
