In the Name of a Mate
Chapter 25: The Plan

The Earth rotates to create the alternation of day and night, sometimes even without human consciousness, time goes by so fast. Either because of a lot of busyness or getting caught up with the world.

"Not succeeded?" Layla looked at Nessi and then turned to look at the laptop in front of her which displayed an error, she looked at Nessi back and shook her head

"Maybe, my brain is following the error" Nessi rubbed her head and stretched her body. They are making a simple program, but somehow the coding is still an error even though they feel they have made it right

"You mending the error is only one, I reached five gini" complained Nessi again saw the laptop Ila and laptop

"You forgot to put a semicolon here" Ila turned to the man who turned out to pay attention, then looked back at the coding that had been written. He patted the eel slowly and it turned out to be true, after being added finally the program can run

"Still Ren" the man named Rendi nodded with a smile

Layla looks at Nessi who looks upset? Or angry?, Layla confused to describe it. It's just that Nessi's expression instantly changed, not like that

"Why?" Layla asked without making a sound, only she was sure that her best friend would understand

Nessi shook her head then focused again on the laptop in front of her. Seeing the response of her best friend Layla so thoughtful. Maybe he had a relationship with Rendi and was jealous because of their interaction.

"Astagfirulloh" Layla shook her head and removed the negative thoughts from her head

.

While on the other side of the campus, at the business school precisely a girl with her long mane walked in a haughty style, approaching a man sitting near one of the stairs.

"Hi Qais"

The man who was called turned his head for a while then refocused on Rio in front of him. As if he thought he didn't exist

The girl snorted and stomped her feet, no matter how many times she greeted the man and the answer was still the same. Even sometimes to turn his head was reluctant Qais

"Tomorrow the night of my birthday, you come, right?" He handed the invitation with a pretty fancy design to the two people. Rio accepted both of them for waiting for Qais until the apocalypse he would not take them

"Anything you must come" he recalled, more precisely sounding forced to Qais

After the girl's departure, Qais smiled obliquely staring at Rio

"Isn't that right? He must not have guessed the gift we sent"

"Truly a surprise" Rio replied with a sneer

"Are you even sure the party's running tomorrow night, if we lose the money later?" His whisper to Qais made Qais laugh when he heard it

While the Queen who saw it thought differently, she did not hear but saw their interactions like that she could guess if it was because of the invitation she had just shared

A smile rose in his lips. He picked up a flat object in his bag that read, seeing the name of the caller he immediately headed to a place that was quite quiet

"Later night"

"...."

"I'll help you distract him, you make sure he doesn't come home all right"

"..."

"Whatever, do what you want. Because the Qais is only for the Queen not the others"

He smiled slantingly staring at the screen of his dead phone

"Is Qais still willing to accept such a saintly pretentious girl? Who does he think deserves to be loved by a man like Qais?"

She turned on her phone and opened one of the messaging apps, sending a picture of a woman with a beautiful smiling blue headscarf to the camera

"Qais is only for the queen not for the others" he murmured softly then sent one more message to someone

"You must immediately withdraw or be removed"

.

"Nes, how did you see that Rendi kayak? You have a problem with him?"

Nessi was silent as a response that made Layla feel guilty for whatever reason

"You're jealous because of that" Nessi who was sipping her drink coughed and looked at Layla with an inexhaustible look at the girl's mind

"I'm sorry if that's the case..."

"Asma Layla Husna, like your brain needs to be dissected so as not to think far away" said Nessi in the end because of his own anxiety with the thoughts of his best friend

"You also talk. Don't be quiet, I just think weird if this is the way" Layla replied in the same tone

"Just if Rendi asks for help with you, refuse La"

"Why?"

"She's the queen's sister" said Nessi in a soft voice

"Queen? Your half-brother?" Layla instantly covered her mouth as Nessi's face instantly changed

"I don't have a brother like him"

"Sorry, I don't mean like that"

"No papa, relax. Where can the relationship try?" Nessi laughed a little. But Layla understood that the girl did not think her father existed

"What is mother's condition?"

"It has improved, he has a lot of activities at home. Until the house must still be a mess now, he again learned to make cookies"

"I know it as a form of diversion him, I'm a little grateful but anxious also afraid he's sapped, let alone have to take care of the boutique as well"

"Everything needs a process Nes, maybe their love path used to be too beautiful until he never thought that this could happen"

"Indeed, I find it hard to believe in men because of this" Nessi put her head on the canteen table

"Don't let it be like that, they're not all the same. If you think I keep Kak Yusuf how dong?" Nessi raised her head, looking at Layla who was pulling next to her eyebrows as if teasing herself

"Why bring him?"

"You think I don't know you're close? It fits well made a novel, the title is love in the hospital hallway" he said. If he hadn't found his cousin smiling last night, he wouldn't have known they knew each other

"You think it's a distance, he just helped me fit in the hospital. It's just for a moment" Nessi argued. He repeated his memory a few months ago, when his mother was suddenly taken to the hospital because of a relapse of high blood. The day he saw his father as queen in the hospital, he knew Joseph. The man he accidentally hit. He asked the man to help find his mother's room, either because there were too many people and rooms or because of panic he could not be concerned with his own thoughts

"He's a nice guy Nes, he's a real concern, he's..."

"Why do you still talk about him?" Layla laughs at Nessi's face which looks like she avoided talking about this topic

"Okay no more"

"Ila, you try as much as possible to do Jalanin Rendi. Not because of anything, but I feel the Queen also likes Qais, judging from the way she is yawning Qais. I'm just afraid that the Queen has the same bad intentions as you through Rendi"

"But I don't like Qais" Layla said slowly

"You may not like it yet. But he already likes and does not hesitate to show it even in front of other students. I was just afraid that the queen would make such a mess just because she envied you" Layla shut up and nodded softly. Being with Qais will only strain relations with his two cousins, and Ila does not want that to happen. So, isn't she with that guy?
