The town square is dotted with street vendors, lights are lit on each sidewalk pole, as well as a magnificent theater stage that is still covered in red curtains. Three young girls dressed in mini skirts and short-shouldered t-shirts seemed to walk down the carpet that was now starting to be filled by many spectators. While looking for the right seat for them, one of them still had time to record his face to live his personal Instagram account.

Shania, the most existent in the world. He is very confident with the look of ayu he has, not shy about vlogging and talking alone even though he is in the middle of the attention of many people. Meanwhile, Kimmy and Vera were already sitting in an empty area adjacent to the face of the stage.

"Shania is live ig mulu dah, can profit what the hell is it?" kimmy said, unbeknownst to Shania. He chatted with Vera who is currently sipping pop ice flavor of her favorite gum.

"Buy pop ice and kids are still in debt. What the hell is he looking for from ig? I also have no ideas!" tymphal Vera's.

"O, yeah, where's Aurel?" ask Kimmy who checked around, making sure that Aurel was with her.

"He was going to pee he said, this is also here" said Vera.

"Have you chatted yet if we sit here?" kimmy asked, worrying about Aurel.

"Shortly," said Vera, opening her phone and immediately sending a message via WhatsApp to Aurel about her current location with Kimmy.

Seeing the chat was already ticked two and blue, it was a sign Aurel had read it, although not yet reciprocated.

"Aaaah, I love it!!!!" shania exclaimed furiously, suddenly appearing next to Kimmy, suddenly making Kimmy and Vera startled and glancing at him in surprise. "There are a hundred and twenty people watching my live ig, ahh baper!".

Gets Shania's words, Kimmy and Vera glance at each other, then look back at the theater stage that has not begun; see the emptiness. While Shania is certainly still busy with her Instagram, giving likes to some of the posts that appear on her homepage.

Backstage, the members of the theatre club looked busy. Some of them walked here and there while lifting things. Liam and Tom walked over to inspect each tent, eight of which were attached. Until the moment they managed to find a tent where Lyra seemed to be rippling inside, they immediately approached her.

"Hi Lyr, what a beauty you are!" praise Liam.

Lyra did not reply, only glancing at them and then re-coating her face with cream foundation before she stacked it again with the powder of her favorite cosmetic brand.

"Oh my spirit, may your drama be a success!" liam again.

"Thank you." said Lyra as she adorned her thin lips with a red lip, making her face now look beautiful. "You two came?" asked when her makeup was ready, then now she switched to wearing her costume. Not at all embarrassed despite being seen by Liam and Tom because Lyra had only worn a white tube top that showed her cleavage and white shorts that also did not reach the knee.

"Just like Moses, but he's sitting down" replied Tom.

Lyra was silent for a moment when she found Moses' name from Tom's words. He is now still buttoning the back of his clothes with difficulty, but finally managed to button all over.

"Oh, yes, I have. Thank you for coming. Now that you can leave, the show will start soon!" exciting Lyra friendly. Lyra's words were supported by the situation because Rani who is now wearing a black shirt while carrying a tablecloth containing a lot of presence papers entered her tent to talk to her.

"Boys, can you come out for a second?!" rani exclaimed, firm as always.

"They're going, Ran." cried Lyra.

Liam and Tom glanced at each other for a moment without comment then immediately went out of the tent, rushing towards the stage area. Actually Lyra's attitude was quite arrogant for them, very different from Lyra's attitude in ordinary days. But Liam and Tom concluded they should not bother Lyra first because maybe Lyra was busy preparing for her appearance.

Menstruation is quite annoying for Aurel, he must be ready to carry four pads in his mini bag and replace them every time full.

"Why should a girl get this shot?!" he fell down during the midget, watering his private area with water slowly, from front to back. Not forgetting he wiped it with a tissue to dry, then immediately attached a new bandage because the bandage was previously full of blood so he immediately threw it into a special garbage can sanitary napkin near the closet.

When everything was clean, he immediately went out of the toilet and went to the central area of the square where he had to find where his friends were currently. There are many people who have been sitting relaxing on the carpet, he was confused to find his friends.

"Where are the boys going?" he muttered worriedly because he was not used to being in the middle of a crowd alone. He immediately pulled out the phone from his jacket pocket, then sent a chat to Vera.

^^^Aurel^^^

^^^Ver, where are you now?^^^

Within seconds, Vera replied.

Vera

Just look ahead, I'll signal you

Aurel didn't know who to curse for. He was upset that Vera would not tell him clearly where he was. But he also does not want to blame Vera because he knows that Vera is the type of relaxed person who does not like to beat around the bush. While Aurel also wants to curse himself why it is easy to worry if he is alone in a crowded place.

Suddenly someone nudged him, making him almost fall.

"Aww, don't you have eyes?!" aurel exclaimed furiously as she turned to look at the man who had just nudged her. The man turned to him, making his heart stop beating.

Aurel was still thinking, he was afraid that the man was watching him even though he was gone. He began to think that no-no later at home, the man could have just hooked it or did other magical things that could have done it.

"Aurel!" call Vera firmly, immediately make Aurel's short daydream pudam.

Aurel was stunned for a moment when he received the call but turned into a sigh when he found Vera coming to pick him up.

"Come here!" vera exclaimed as she danced Aurel's hand, holding him to the location where it appeared Kimmy and Shania were still sitting there.

The theater finally begins. The red curtain opens. Looks like the stage accommodators also appear as the bearer of tree decorations. The stage now depicts a dark and gloomy forest atmosphere, can be seen from the dark sky and decorated by cartoon moons made of cardboard.

The theatre goers became enthusiastic as the stage began. Shania, who was busy with her Instagram, turned off her laptop and turned her attention to the creative theatrical stage performance, reminding her of the high school stage. A classically dressed narrator appears carrying a tablecloth with manuscript paper, and begins to tell the beginning of tonight's drama.

..."In ancient times, in a quiet and prosperous village lived a beautiful girl who lived with her stepmother and two beautiful brothers, ..."...

Followed by the presence of four female performers on stage who display the corner of the story "Cinderella".

The musical performance that morning was impressive. Each audience managed to dissolve into the flow of the story presented. The cast is very good at acting, their faces are convincing in every look, as well as their very musical singing style. There is no one who can't sing. They spoke out loud every time the parts also sang steadily as if the whole world had to hear them.

The night was so late that the musical by the student of the Para Den campus theater club ended. The spectators left the square and went home. In addition, the players still had to stay because they still took the time for the evaluation meeting. Yeah, for students who have been active in the organization consider it commonplace, especially those who wander; far from parental supervision.

The situation is different for some musical theater stage audiences who are ordinary students who do live in the city itself. They had to hurry home so as not to make their parents angry. Not much different from the non-student city residents who just watched the performance, of course they immediately went home because there was no more business for them there.

They leave together, but come home together. This happened to four girls who were members of the cheerleading club: Kimmy, Shania, Vera and Aurel. Kimmy first went home to the dorm, leaving her friends behind when the new theater stage reached the middle scene; the reason being that she had forgotten to have not done the PR that her collection deadline was that night.

Now Shania, Vera and Aurel are walking the three down a lonely road to their dormitory. Shania still had time to stare at the screen of her phone throughout the trip, chat with her boyfriend; she walked while smiling herself. While Vera and Aurel chat with each other so that their journey does not feel empty. Suddenly a man with an NMAX motor appeared and stopped in front of them.

"Guys, sorry I can't go home together. I can just go home tomorrow!" shania exclaimed as she put her phone in her jacket pocket. He turned towards Vera and Aurel for a moment while smiling innocent, then left the two girls to go with his girlfriend somewhere.

Vera and Aurel glanced at each other. They left, finally both home.

In the middle of the night, they found a gazebo in which appeared several male friends from the same study program as Vera; Informatics Engineering. Aurel begins to get anxious when the men call Vera to play a MOBA game with them, she knows exactly how much Vera loves gaming so Vera can't possibly turn her down.

"If you want mabar, please. I'll go home alone." said Aurel

"No, I can't let you go home alone. That woman shouldn't have gone home alone at night. I better not go mabar, I can play solo anyway." said Vera.

"Don't lie to me Vera. I know these few days you're upset when your ranking points drop since you challenged yourself to go solo. Those guys take you to mabar, this is your chance to add points." Aurel said.

"No, I'm not a traitor, Aurel. I'm not gonna let you go home alone!" exclaim Vera.

"What's wrong?" tanya Ilham, one of Vera's friends in the class who is secretly a pro-player. He notices Vera and Aurel's conversation, and decides to mediate between them.

"I'm sorry, Inspiration, I can't make it tonight. I can't let my friend go home alone, let alone a woman, it would be very dangerous for him" Vera said.

Inspiration to be silent for a moment. "But I already registered your name, Vera. You're part of this game." he said.

"Don't tell me this is part of our e-sport team's agenda!" exclaim Vera.

"I'm sorry if I didn't talk from the beginning" Ilham admitted his mistake. "So, did Aurel just wait here until our game is over, if you don't mind anyway," he added.

Vera glanced at Aurel. "How's it?" tanyanya, made sure that Aurel did not mind waiting for him.

"I'm actually fine, Ver. But I don't want to wake up, it's been too late. Tomorrow I have to see Mrs Markle" Aurel said.

"What's the matter with Mrs Markle?" ask Vera in wonder. "Are you the son of the FSIP?" he asked again, expressing his astonishment. Vera was unsuspecting, though, he was only surprised when a student from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FSIP) suddenly had a personal meeting with Mrs Markle who was the secretary dean of FMIPA (Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences).

"There's something, you don't need to know. But Mrs Markle and I have a seven o'clock appointment tomorrow" Aurel said somewhat nervously, as if there was something she was hiding. "I'm too tired tonight anyway, I have to go back to the dorm" he continued.

"Well, I'll call Kimmy let him pick you up!" exclaims Vera while pulling the phone out of her jacket pocket.

"No need!" prevent Aurel. "I can go home by myself" he said.

"I'm really sorry" said Vera. He hugged Aurel sincerely. "Be careful on the road. If there's anything, call me right away!" he cried when he let go of his embrace.

Aurel and Vera waved their hands for a moment. Aurel hurried away leaving the location alone. While Vera is actually worried about Aurel's state, especially when Aurel's shadow has disappeared from before him. "May God protect you" Vera murmured, only to be heard by herself even though she said that to Aurel.
