Prothos stopped his car after Widia cried while in the car, returning from the wedding of his ex and best friend. Prothos just kept quiet and gave her a tissue without forbidding her from crying like before.
"Why are you quiet?" ask Widia.
"Cry, but remember, promise yourself, this is the last time" replied Prothos.
"Since the beginning of college we were dating, and I always told Kesha everything, I didn't know that for the past year they had both betrayed me. Even when Selly and Rara told me about their affair I couldn't believe it, until a week ago they confessed to me because Kesha was already three months pregnant." Widia told him as she occasionally nodded.
Prothus felt sorry for his teacher and held his right shoulder to calm him down.
"I was a fool, I should have believed in Selly and Rara." Widia continued.
"You're not stupid" Prothos said. "You're only blind because of your love for her."
After almost two hours of driving, Prothos finally arrived in front of an apartment where Widia lived, in her school district.
Prothus opened the door for his teacher.
"I'm so grateful to you. As a teacher, I feel ashamed for inconveniencing her students" Widia said standing before Prothos.
Prothos shook his head.
"Mother teacher need not worry, I sincerely do it." replied Prothos. "I'm sorry that I did things that were uncomfortable for you."
Widia recalled the time when Prothus's face was very close to hers when whispering and when Prothus was peeping his forehead. His face was embarrassed again.
"I've forgotten it." Widia told a lie. "Monday semester exam, study hard so that your grades are good. I don't mind if you need my help to learn." continued Widia who is actually just a pleasantries.
Prothos only smiled while holding a thin bell.
"All right, I'm in. Once again thank you." said Widia after that walk in.
Prothos smiled as he got back into the car.

Athos kept busy with his laptop in the room after dinner. Not studying but investigating something. Athos finds out about the Tasya family.
It turned out that Tasya's father was the owner and president director of a well-known local cosmetics brand company, while the Dion family was the owner of the cosmetics store company that marketed it.
Athos took a deep breath.
Suddenly Tasya called.
"Are you studying?" tanya Tasya who was lying on her bed.
"No." replied Athos smiling. "I'm thinking of you."
"Don't lie to me."
"i'm serious. I'm thinking of you."
"What do you think of me?" search Tasya happy to hear the words of his lover. "Don't tell me you're thinking of me not getting dressed?"
"No." answered Athos briefly. "I thought of a way to have you."
Tasya was surprised to hear Athos' sweet words. He had absolutely no idea that those words would come out of the stiff mouth of his lover. Unknowingly her tears flowed.
"What's wrong? You crying?"
"All right, I'm going to sleep now. After hearing your words I was sure I would have a beautiful dream." Tasya answered wiping away her tears.
...***...
Almost nine o'clock in the evening Prothos arrived home. He opened the door and went straight to the father who was sitting on the sofa.
"Where have you been?" ask cold dad.
Prothos silently did not answer.
The two twin exited the room and stood on top watching him. Melody in her room did not dare to go out of the room whenever her father was angry at one of her brothers. Uncle Ronald came straight to the living room.
"See your clothes!! You're filming a movie?" ask the sceptic.
Father took off from his seat and approached Prothos who was sculpting.
"I told you, you all have to learn!!" said father. "Where are you from?"
Prothus just kept staring at me whenever I got mad at him, that's his habit.
"ANSWER ME!!" father shouted, and his fist landed on Prothos' left cheek. "You still don't want to say?"
"Sister, stop. I'll talk to him." said Uncle Ronald. "Oto, ride!!"
Prothus walked up the stairs and saw his two twin mocking him, Prothus only responded with an annoyed look.
In the room Prothos went straight to the mirror looking at his cheek that father had punched. There was a bruise on the left side of his lips.
"My handsome face is a wound." lamented Prothos.
Prothos took the business card he got last afternoon, and put it in the pile of business cards that were on his study table. This was the umpteenth time he had such an offer.
After taking a bath Prothos sat down at his study table, picked up his book and tried to study.
"Melo, brother is full." replied Prothos smiling. "But okay, will you eat."
"Sir Oto, where was it?" asked Melody sitting on the side of the bed.
"Silver is helping someone." replied Prothos as he devoured his food.
"Who? And how did you help him?" ask Melody. "Geez, brother's lips wound. Did you hit brother again?"
"Melo, can I borrow your phone?"
Without asking Melody took her phone, unlocked it and gave it to Prothos.
Prothos opens a list of numbers and searches for Widia's name, then memorizes the number.
"Sister, what do you want?"
"It's night, you better get some sleep" exclaimed Prothos, returning Melody's phone.
"Alright." replied Melody after that walk out.
Prothos reopened his book, continuing his studies. He tried to focus and not think about my anger.
"Oto.." call Uncle Ronald knocking on the door.
"Just enter!!" Prothos Seru.
Uncle Ronald brought the medicine box into Prothos' room.
"No uncle, I don't need to be treated" Prothos said after seeing Uncle Ronald enter.
"Okay, then." said Uncle Ronald. "You know what your father's angry like?" look at uncle Ronald. "Don't think too much, tomorrow too has forgotten."
"Uncle does not need to comfort me." said Prothos. "Oh yeah, I'm giving it back." Prothos gave Ronald's uncle a credit card.
"You know how much you spent?"
"I'll replace it." replied Prothos.
"You forgot my words first? Don't spend money on a woman."
"No, I remember. It's all I use to help him so he's not like uncle." replied Prothos.
Uncle Ronald understood what Prothos meant.
"Alright, I believe you." replied Uncle Ronald. "Oh yeah, buy a new phone" added uncle Ronald thrust back his credit card.
"If you want, I can buy it without asking you" Prothos said back to his study position. "Come out, I want to focus on learning."
"Don't force yourself, and rest because you've traveled a long way" said Uncle Ronald, who found out about it from a kilometre in his car, after which he exited Prothos' room.
Prothus rubbed his face with his palms as was his custom, for he was already feeling sleepy and tired yet he still wanted to learn.
...***...
Melody stood in front of the window of her room staring at Lion's room which was still covered in curtains. The girl still felt guilty towards Lion, and Lion's attitude towards her had also changed. Not like before.
But suddenly Lion opened his curtain with as soon as Melody turned off her room light and went back to lying on her bed.
A few minutes later Melody looked back at the window and Lion had already closed the curtain.
"Basic fool!" muttered Melody.

"Why didn't you tell me you were staying over?" ask Widia after the shower.
Unexpectedly her two best friends Selly and Rara come to her apartment to stay the night. And they were there before Widia came home.
"Your boyfriend is very handsome. Tell us how you met?" look Rara.
Widia is busy opening her laptop because she is preparing for the exam.
"Widi, let's tell you first!!" pinta Selly shut down her laptop. "We also saw him drive you earlier."
"He's my student."
"What?" ask Rara.
"You're dating your student?" ask Selly.
"He's not my girlfriend, he just helped me earlier to teach the treachery lessons" Widia explained. "Already, let me do my job!!"
"Your students are so handsome, you deserve to go to teach every day" said Rara. "Near her, I don't think it's a problem that you're dating her."
"Yes, that's right!! Besides being handsome, he's a good kid for helping his grieving teacher" Selly added.
"What are you talking about?" face Widia. "You guys are crazy, right? What would the world say if I had a little boy girlfriend like her?"
"I think with him helping you it's clear that he's more mature than a kid his age, even from the way he acts he's a lot more mature than you" said Selly, who is a bit fat. "Near him, we support you."
"You guys are.." said Widia to reopen her laptop.
