"I know that she has feelings for you."
"Then, you?"
Dimas was silent when he heard the girl's words. Emily turned her body to look at the man behind her with her flat face.
"Then, you? Do you still like me?" emily said again without expression as usual.
"Why silence? Can't answer it?" continued again. Emily seems to clench her hands tightly so that her hands look red.
Because I didn't get a response from that guy. Emily turned her back and left Dimas, who was still standing in his place without saying a word, even though the girl had disappeared from sight.
Dimas then left the park feeling frustrated. Behind the big tree that the two were sitting on. It seemed Riana was there with teary eyes.
****
In the scorching sunlight is quite stinging. A girl was galloping with mana water flooding her soft cheeks. The girl continued to run until she arrived at the rooftop of the campus.
With breath gasping as a result of running. He also stood on the rooftop barrier with tears that were still flowing. The girl drowned her face in both of her hands that were on the rooftop barrier.
"Hiks! Why does it feel so crowded." Riana said. The girl who had just arrived at the rooftop while hitting her chest that felt tight.
He continued to drown his face behind the hand that became the cradle of his head. A hand touched the girl's shoulder. Riana who felt that touch, immediately wiped her tears and immediately turned her body around.
And as Riana turned her body, she saw Alfian was looking at her with a confused look. "Riana, what are you doing here?"
Because I don't want Alfian to know about him. Riana immediately shook her head. "I'm just looking for some fresh air, Em fresh air."
Alfian immediately scrunched his forehead and looked at the clouds that seemed to sting his skin, then he looked back at Riana in surprise. "Search for fresh air? But it's so hot! Where is the fresh air Rin?"
he heard the words of the man before him. Of course making Riana scratch her nape that is not itchy. He also did not know what to say, it is true that today is hot.
Alfian who had been in the rooftop since half an hour ago because the white man always took the time to go there. I don't know what for, but for Alfian only on his campus rooftop it could make him a little calmer. He heard the door open and saw his friend crying.
That was why Alfian approached Riana the moment the girl drowned her head. And pretended not to know anything about what he saw.
Looking at Riana's behavior that was just silent. Alfian could tell that the girl was not okay. Alfian immediately looked for shelter for the two to avoid the scorching sun that felt burning their skin.
"Sit down" Alfian said as he patted the chair next to her so that Riana could sit next to him.
Riana simply nodded and sat down beside Alfian according to the direction of the man. "Why you?"
Hearing Alfian's words, Riana who was next to him turned her head and looked at her friend in surprise. "meaning?"
"You were crying, right?" ask Alfian to the point. The man did not want to keep that. But seeing his best friend was silent. Finally Alfian tried to dare himself to ask.
Riana was still silent without taking out a word. The girl again thought about the incident Emily and her lover were in the park earlier.
Looking at Riana who never spoke, made Alfian nod his head in understanding. "Is it that hard to say?"
Riana turned to look at Alfian. And a small smile as the two looked at each other. "Alfian, I. I.."
"There is no need to force it if you don't want to tell it yet." cut Alfian as the girl next to him hesitated.
"I'm just offering up, afraid you need a storymate. But that does not mean I have to force yourself to tell a story, does not." said Alfian while chuckling as she looked straight ahead without caring Riana who now continues to look at him.
"Alfian," call Riana.
Alfian who looked straight ahead turned his head. "Emm?"
"How do you feel when your partner seems to like someone other than us?" riana said while smiling bitterly.
Alfian who saw Riana's smile that looked so heartbreaking. It was as if the girl was bearing the heavy weight she was holding. And from the speech, Alfian could tell that what the girl had just said.
'Does what he says have to do with himself? Does Dimas, like other girls?' alfian murmured in the heart.
But, Alfian tried to erase the negative thoughts about his two best friends. Then, he looked straight back with a long breath. "I also don't know how to handle something like that. But if indeed our partner likes someone other than ourselves. We just need to be ready for what's coming next."
"You mean?" riana asked not understanding the meaning of the words of her friend.
"The feeling we can't force just because we love him or fear losing him. We should also give him some spare with whom he will choose. Because no matter how hard we hold it, if indeed our partner likes the person. Of course he'll choose that guy by leaving us. Of course with a good farewell" said Alfian gave an explanation to Riana's question.
Riana was silent as she listened to the words of the man beside her. And it's true, what he said. That no matter how hard that person holds someone he loves so much that he does not leave. Will the person he loves be happy?
Riana leaned her head on Alfian's shoulder. When the man has now confirmed his position so that Riana who is on the shoulder can be more comfortable. Alfian who was looking at Riana who was now crying on her backrest, just gently rubbed the girl's hair. Trying to make the girl calmer.
While on the other hand Mira was clenching her hands tightly. The girl seemed to hold back her tears that were about to fall.
'Who do you like Alfian? Why do you always do that to everyone!' lirih Mira in her heart when she saw the man still with his position stroking Riana's hair on the back of her shoulder.
"My heart hurts Alfian! I don't know why, but obviously I just realized that I like you. I like you, Alfian. Hicks!" lirih Mira with her gaze that began to descend stared at the street. Accompanied by tears that he tried to resist so as not to come out finally fell to the ground flowing without his permission.
