Money Or Honey
Episode 8: Plans at 7

Hiyola arrived at the campus gate exactly 5 minutes before the first course began. The day he spent now felt so different. If he would usually say goodbye to Miona and Alya's aunt, this time he would have to live life in secret. There are times when afraid of the people closest to him know of a contract marriage, there are times when he is afraid to cross paths with the invitations who come at that time.

In a daze, Hiyola climbed up one step at a time. His life is no longer easy. But isn't life ever easy?

Time went slow enough for two hours to pass. Lecturers had just left the room at the follow-up of several students.

Hiyola's eyes glanced far away, through a glass window observing several students scattered throughout the campus, while propping up her chin.

Some are talking with friends, some are sitting alone with a boyfriend, some even walk home because they do not have a college schedule, then what part of him?

If he could walk home after college, complain of hunger to people at home, feel upset because of disagreements with Miona and then shut himself up until the night before.

“Ahh...imagine it already very fun.” He said, picking up the bag on the bench and walking outside.

Today there are absolutely no jobs coming in, from applications there are none. Maybe because his name was changed in the app, so his customers couldn't find him anymore.

“What should I do?”

Hiyola's feet stopped right on a park bench, he sat down and took out the fried egg he had made earlier, combining it with four pieces of fresh bread wrapped together.

One bite, though,

Two gigitas, though,

Three bites. Not yet she swallowed, someone shocked her.

BUGHhh…

“Uhuk.!”

One punch landed on his shoulder making Hiyola who was chewing, choke. Daniel the culprit hurriedly opened Hiyola's bag looking for a bottle to drink, but nil.

“Didn't you bring a drink?” he's worried.

Hiyola shook her head while saying an unclear word. Daniel immediately pulled Hiyola's arm to leave the park. They had to go to the cafeteria to buy a drink.

Like a madman the two ran past some students who were staring at them in astonishment, more precisely looking at Hiyola who looked different than usual. It turned out that when he went home, Hiyola did not have time to change clothes because of the time that was very tight.

“Pel-n-pe-an, Da-iel..” shouted Hiyola unclear.

“What do you say?”

“My book is lan...!”

Daniel immediately braked on the spot, right in front of the canteen. He did not see Hiyola's clothes earlier and only realized now.

Seeing the different appearance of his best friend, Daniel suddenly laughed out loud. This is the first time Daniel has seen Hiyola wearing a dress. And yellow? A bad first choice.

“Don't look at me like that, buy me water,”

babble Hiyola still feels tight.

“Oh yes, I almost forgot.” Daniel went to one of the department stores in the cafeteria and ordered a bottle of water.

“Hei, money!” he shouted at Hiyola while holding his hand.

Hiyola took a step back and shook her head, “You made me choke, pay with your money.”

“Ckckc! You are the one who almost died!” cibir Daniel handed over a 50 to the seller's brother. They sat back in the park after taking their change.

“where have you been?”

Hiyola hasn't landed her ass yet, Daniel has begun interrogating.

“I contacted Miona that day, and said she was out of town. Aunt Alya's accident? How can it be just them leaving and you staying?” tatar Daniel without pause.

It was true that he changed his phone number, but it was only for a while. He wanted to adjust to this new situation.

“I have to pay off debt.” Answer Hiyola briefly. He started leaning his tired back on the park bench, then looked up at the sky far up there.

“I hope at that time dad also brought me.” Excited complaining.

Plaque…!

“Aduh..” complained Hiyola glared because Daniel just slapped his mouth. “You want to die huh?”

“Gulf!” hiyola suddenly said. His eyes were staring at Daniel.

“Can you just hug me instead of nagging?” pinta Hiyola again. This time his voice was barely heard.

Daniel knew very well that if this girl asked to be hugged, it meant that there was something she did not want to talk about.

Like an older brother, Daniel hugged Hiyola while rubbing his shoulders gently.

While behind Daniel's shoulders, Hiyola continued to look far ahead, her eyes seemingly empty, whether lucky or suffering she was currently going through.

Nightfall. The time showed at 09:15 after a side job at the library, Hiyola finally arrived home. Apparently, Robert had gone home because the car was already in the parking lot.

Hiyola's forehead was a bit of a massage, it looked like she had seen this car but didn't know where.

After parking the motor, Hiyola walked while carrying a travel bag that was quite large, containing his clothes, into the house.

Inside, Hiyola was again surprised to find Robert in front of the TV. Fortunately, this time with full clothes.

With a slow step, Hiyola walked over.

“You're home?” Robert asked immediately stopping Hiyola's steps who planned to enter secretly.

“em.. yes.” Hiyola replied awkwardly, neither stepping forward nor approaching Roberth.

“Change your clothes, then we'll talk.”

For the first time Hiyola hoped in omeli when she came home late at night. Usually, if you come home late, aunt will immediately tell her to eat, or Miona who asked how college and work today. No one had scolded him for coming home late in his life, so why should he wish for a stranger Robert?

“Good.” Answer Hiyola briefly, then walk up.

After changing clothes, Robert and Hiyola sat in the dining room, facing each other.

“Tomorrow you will come with me to the family meeting.” Robert opened the conversation.

“Tomorrow? What time?”

“Jam 7 nights.”

Hiyola. At 7 he had an appointment with the customer of the application and it is impossible to cancel, plus because changing the name in the application, Hiyola had to lose its loyal customers.

“Can't you just leave? I have an appointment with a Meet me customer tomorrow.” Hiyola asked hesitantly. His hands were even placed on the table, clenched, with a face full of hope while smiling wailfully.

“Stop looking at me like that, this is also sudden for me, I even have to cancel the meeting and lose 1 M."

Hiyola sneered, inwardly she wanted to scream.

'Very arrogant!!!'

"Remember! Tomorrow at 7 o'clock I'll pick up. So make sure you're home by then. For work, let me take care of.” Robert cannot be denied.

He then moved back to the front of the TV telling Hiyola with annoyance in his heart. The girl even took a fork from the spoon rack, then aimed at the back of Robert who had turned his back as if to stab, however, with a quick movement hid the fork back behind his back because Robert suddenly turned around.

“Oh, yes, wear one of the clothes in the closet. Don't use it like you're wearing right now.” He then continued his steps. Wanting to scream but unable, wanting to curse more impossible, mukin such annoyance that Hiyola was holding this second.

Puckering her lips, the girl grumbled in silence while looking at the clothes she was wearing. Knee-length jeans with a torn-up accent, oversized t-shirt with skull image on the front.

“Indeed what's wrong with my clothes?”

“Did he tell me to wear clothes lacking the materials in the closet? That's right.”

“Basic perverted man!”

“Bad men!” Annoyed Hiyola with a voice as slow as possible so that the person in question does not hear, but in the next second he actually silenced his own mouth.

“I can hear you.” Robert cried with his eyes fixed on the TV screen. Hiyola looked at Robert in disbelief.

“Is he a vampire until he can hear a voice as small as this?”

“That too I can still hear.”
