Hmmm, while waiting for Raka who is arranging her heart, we should turn to a place where there is a pair of Men and Women who are in a very awkward state.
Yes, they are Rendi and Ani.
After the departure of Nurul and Lidya, it was like Ani was following them from behind. But... He was afraid that it would result in a stern rebuke from the Killer.
He was desperately forced to hold back his steps to stay where he was on his footing.
Rendi became completely wrong with this situation. Not long after, he remembered the incident earlier this afternoon.
Finally he opened a small talk to expel the awkwardness that was attacking around them.
"How are you Ani?" It's just a stale base.
Ani was slightly surprised by Rendi's question, as this was the first time Rendi had asked her news specifically.
If only this question had been thrown some time ago, maybe Ani was currently exploring the pile of clouds in the seventh sky.
But unfortunately this question came when his heart had become an ice cube that had expired because too many wounds had already rained down in the bottom of his heart.
"My circumstances?" He muttered while frowning and smiled wryly when he heard the question from Rendi. "I'm fine." Answer's flat.
Yes, at first glance it looks fine. But behind all that he hides a sadness that is too deep to make him forget the feeling of being noticed by the person who is now in front of him.
Rendi felt a little strange with Ani's change of attitude towards him. But he immediately brushed it off and muttered. "Maybe it's just my feelings."
Then he ventured to continue with another question.
"May I ask you something?"
"Hmmm". she replied coldly without turning her head in the slightest to Rendi.
Now Rendi felt like she was in a room called the Ice cube Factory.
"Ha ha ha... Rasain you Ren." Said Author with a cruel face while shaking his waist.
Rendi who got a very cold treatment from Ani, felt very sad. He felt like he was being punished like someone who had made a fatal mistake.
Deep down he murmured,
"You've changed Ani"
"This isn't the Ani I used to know"
"The one who is always cheerful and full of jokes"
"It's the one who always carves her sweet smile"
"It's very narcissistic in speaking"
"Where's all that Ani?"
"Why did it become like me?"
"Could this be your reply for ignoring you all this time?"
"Could this be my punishment for wasting your feelings?"
"Why is it like this?"
"Was the word apology able to bring back all your lost cheer and smiles?"
"Yes, she's not the Ani I used to know."
"Maybe it was because the wound was too deep to make his heart turn cold like this."
"And...."
"It's all because of me."
"I deserve it Ani."
He said in his heart when he realized the mistake he had been doing all this time. He realized that all this time he had always ignored Ani's feelings since he knew that Ani liked him for a long time. But that does not mean he does not appreciate Ani's feelings towards him, only that he does not want to give a false hope to Ani. He was comfortable meeting and joking with her.
He had to stop the conversation between them. Yeah, it would be better than them continuing to mince words. Although actually Rendi wanted to ask him about the Diary book. Finally he chose to remain silent while waiting for the arrival of the others.
5 Minutes they just kept quiet while turning their eyes to pay attention to the situation around the mosque. Shortly thereafter Nurul, Lidya and Raka.
With a sense of relief Ani immediately approached his two friends and invited them to leave the place.
Raka feels strange about Ani's change in nature towards Rendi. And asked him that.
But Rendi prefers to ignore the question from Raka because at this time he is still drowning with his guilt. And leave Raka just like that.
Meanwhile on the other hand, Nurul and Lidya felt the same strange attitude as Ani.
To the point of making them feel guilty for having proposed to forget the figure of Rendi.
Yes, they just want so that his best friend does not feel the heartache again with the attitude of Rendi.
The trip home this time only feels empty, they lose the narcissistic figure of friends who usually make the atmosphere become crowded with various babbles and behavior.
They just hope that Ani can be a cheerful figure like before.
After arriving at the house Ani immediately locked himself in the room to spill all his disappointment to Rendi.
"Why now, brother?"
"Why?"
"Why is this pain only going to get deeper if you see you again."
"When you think I don't exist, I do feel pain"
"But..."
"The pain is nothing compared to how I feel right now, sister."
He muttered while hugging the bolster very tightly and holding back his sobs so as not to be known by his parents.
Shortly thereafter he closed both of his nerves because he was too tired to endure the pain he had been soaking up.
