"Shafiq don't take my toys!" a little girl shouted to the man who was carrying his toys.


"Let's go after me if you want to grab this toy" said the little boy as he continued to run. The little girl kept running after the boy. He hopes to get his toys back. The little girl continued to run fast. Eventually, he lost his balance. He fell on the ground quite hard. His leg was injured and he was bleeding.


"Oh.sick..hiks...hiks...hiks.." groaned the little girl interjected by her cries. The little boy who ran immediately stopped his steps. He looked towards the little girl. He found the little girl falling down while crying. He immediately approached the little girl.


"You why? You're not papa, are you?" asked the little boy while crouching in front of the little girl.


"Chayra's feet are sick.hiks...hiks.." said the little girl who was still crying. The little boy looked at the little girl with pity and felt guilty. Suppose he didn't grab the little girl's toy. The little girl must not have been hurt.


"Sayefin Syafiq. Shafiq was not intentional." said the little boy with a feeling of guilt.


"Here let me just carry it. Let Chayra not be sick anymore." continued the little boy. The little girl just nodded. The little boy immediately carried the little girl on his back. After that, he drove the little girl home.

In a city park there is a girl sitting in a garden chair while staring at a beautiful flower bed. Since childhood he often came to the park with his little friend. But for a few years he had only come alone to the park. Since the departure of his little friend, he is not as happy as before. A lot has changed for him. If he used to be jolly, then now he is quiet. He rarely smiled. All he showed was a smile filled with burdens.


Her. Chayra Fayyola Nadhifa's. Who is still sitting in the garden seat. Enjoy the day before dusk. His mind regularly thinks of happiness in his childhood. Since the departure of his little friend, he hopes to meet with his best friend. Honestly, he misses her a lot. Until now no one can replace the position of his little friend.


"Every time I go to this park. I always felt like you were here too. Try not to move first. Maybe at this moment I can still see you." said Chayra who is now staring at the bracelet in his hand.


"Shafiqist. Do you still remember the same there I am. Remember our happy times. Only you can make me laugh again. I always pray that we meet someday. I hope you still want me." continued Chayra. Without feeling she shed her tears. I don't know why every time he remembers the figure of Shafiq he always cries.

This morning Chayra arrived at the school gate. He was one of the students at Merah Putih High School. She currently sits in the 12th grade of IPS 2. Chayra was also one of the most popular students in her school. He is famous for his good attitude, friendly, and easy to get along with anyone.


Just as he was about to pass through the gate of the school. From behind was someone who suddenly grabbed him. The chayra immediately stared at the person.


"Good morning my Big Brother" said the man with a smile so sweet.


"For Prince Nyselin too." Chayra replied with a laugh.


"Kok nyeselin anyway? If Nyeselin why do you want to date me?" ask the man with a look on his face that is upset. He is Afnan Atma Purnama. She is a lover of a Chayra. They have been in a relationship for quite a while. Less than one year. They also became the most romantic couple in the school..


"No need to suck that. You are the least likely to eat me." Chayra replied while embracing Afnan's arm.


"Udah is starting to cool now" said Afnan with a sweet smile. While ruffling Chayra's hair.

Arriving in class, Chayra immediately approached her friend who was sitting alone. After Chayra sat down next to her best friend, it turned out that she had not noticed Chayra's presence. He was daydreaming.


"It's still early in the morning. What are you daydreaming about?" chayra asked quite loudly. To make his best friend surprised. Chayra just laughed.


"It can't be if you don't meet me. What if I had a heart attack?" chayra's best friend said with regret.


"Yes sorry." Chayra replied as she hugged her best friend from the side.


Khansas. Chayra Friends at Merah Putih High School. He has a much different attitude than Chayra. You could say Khansa is a person who is jutek, cold, and angry is not clear. Almost one schoolgirl was afraid of the cold attitude of a Khansa. Only Chayra is able to understand Khansa's attitude. And they've been making friends for a long time.


Besides Khansa, Chayra also has one more friend. Her name is Talina. Talina is different from other friends. Wh why? Because in terms of appearance alone is different. Yep, Talina prefers to wear clothes that are covered. Because he comes from a family that upholds religious values. Talina is the only female student to wear a hijab. That's a glimpse of the two Chayra friends at Merah Putih High School.


A few minutes later Talina came and immediately approached her friends. He sat on the bench in front of Chayra and Khansa. Talina immediately sat facing them.


"Tumben Sa tuh face looks so upset. Any more problems?" tanya Talina laughed.


"You guys are not calm I even make my mood upset" said Khansa with annoyance.


"Udah. Than you bete it's not clear. Mending tomorrow night how are we going to the mall?" chayra.


"May but you can't bring your girlfriend" said Khansa with a sly smile. Instantly Chayra blurted her lips. Making his two friends laugh.


"If that's me too." Talina replied while talking to Khansa. Chayra can only hold back her emotions.

At exactly 15.00 WIB, all Red and White High School students have disbanded. Including the Chayra. Now Chayra is walking down the corridor that began to quiet. Almost all students have left school. Now the goal is to go to class 12 IPA 1. Which is her class of lovers. It is located on the third floor. The class is located on the ground floor.


Chayra and Afnan plan to go home together. As usual, Afnan always drove Chayra home. Even almost every day. Maybe some people will think what is wrong? But that's what they are, their relationship is still fine to this day. Although it has been intertwined for quite a long time.


Until in front of the classroom 12 IPA 1, Chayra's steps suddenly stopped. Because someone called his name. Chayra immediately searched for the source of the sound. It turns out he's Adnan Albert Ardian. One of Afnan's best friends.


"Tumben here Ra? It's usually the worst to come here." asked Ardian. Because he knew very well that Chayra was the laziest to go to Afnan's class. For reasons too far away and tired of having to go up the stairs.


"Ardians! How to daydream instead." continued Chayra.


"Eh... No way. Mending now you're down. Let me tell Afnan to meet you below." said Ardian.


"My males if you have to go down alone. It's starting to get quiet again. I'm not brave." said Chayra who sounded spoiled in Ardian's ear. I don't know why Chayra's attitude is always changing with Ardian. He's becoming more spoiled.


"Yes, I've been looking. I called Afnan to meet you at the school parking lot." Ardian replied.


"In fact, Afnan is busy until I can't get in. Or is there Klara?" ask Chayra curiously. Finally Ardian answered with a nod of his head, although he looked hesitant.


A little information about Klara. Klara was Chayra's enemy. Wh why? Because Klara doesn't like Chayra and Afnan's relationship. Even Klara always makes Chayra and Afnan relationship break up. But it always fails. But that doesn't make him angry. Because Klara had a thousand ways to destroy Afnan and Chayra's relationship.


"Udah mending now we go down. I'm sure Afnan will be able to overcome Klara." said Ardian trying to calm Chayra. After that Ardian immediately pulled Chayra's hand to invite her down. Chayra followed Ardian with a little worry for Afnan.

Fifteen minutes later, Chayra arrived home and was escorted by Afnan. Until now Chayra is still curious about what Afnan did with Klara. Actually he wanted to ask Afnan. But he was afraid of offending Afnan. But if he did not ask that he would be even more curious.


"By!" afnan shouted out the Chayra reverie. He was surprised by Afnan's loud voice.


"Define! If you don't talk, scream. Surprise people." said Chayra in annoyance.


"Who told you to daydream. What else do you think of that?" ask Afnan. Chayra was silent for a moment before answering Afnan's question.


"So why do you come home so long, you usually go home most on time?" ask Chayra full of probes.


"Ep... I had a little business so he came home a little late" replied Afnan with the look of his face was hiding something.


"Aren't you lying to Nan anymore?" search Chayra while looking at Afnan sharply.


"It's Chayra where I lied to you" Afnan said as she gently stroked Chayra's hair.


"Udahlah Nan does not have to lie anymore. I know everything you did after school" Chayra said. At once Afnan was seen thinking for a moment before replying to Chayra's words.


"Thus Klara nyamperin me. Want me to not have to pay him first if you do not know for yourself how he is. But you're calm, you're still my priority." Afnan replied as he embraced Chayra.


"If you are told Gombalin is a champion, you are. Pantes a girls on your eye." quipped Chayra. But Afnan just smiled, he knew his lover was currently jealous of him.


"Include you." replied Afnan. Chayra pinched Afnan's waist quite hard. Made Afnan grimace in pain.


"Eat him don't be so good-looking" Chayra said in annoyance.


"But it's cute." said Afnan while laughing. Again Afnan really likes to see Chayra feel upset with him. Because according to Afnan, Chayra's annoyance is a sign of Chayra's love for him. After that Afnan said to Chayra to return home because the day began to twilight. Chayra allowed Afnan to return home. Although he actually still misses Afnan very much.

The beautiful twilight had now changed into such a dark night. Tonight Afnan plans to meet Ardian at a nightclub. Ten minutes Afnan had been waiting for the arrival of Ardian accompanied by a bottle of alcohol. It has become a habit of an Afnan drink alcohol that. It was even great that he did not feel drunk even though he finished a few bottles.


A few minutes later Ardian arrived, and immediately sat down before Afnan. After that Ardian ordered the same drink as Afnan.


"Tumben lo ngajakin I found. Anyone want to talk to me?" asked Ardian after ordering the drink.


"This concerns my relationship with Chayra" replied Afnan trying to calm down. While Ardian just looked at Afnan, and still did not understand the direction of the conversation his best friend.


"My parents are with other girls. Maybe in the near future I will marry this girl." continued Afnan.


"How do you continue with Chayra? You want to break him up?" ask Ardian not to believe it.


"No way I broke up with him as I still love him. But I also do not want to hurt him more deeply." replied Afnan.


"Keep your decision what?" ask Ardian. Afnan seemed to be thinking before making a decision. Honestly she was actually worried, she did not want to break her relationship with Chayra at all. But on one side he has to do that. Because he didn't want to hurt Chayra's feelings any deeper.


"Gue's gonna break up Chayra, and I'm gonna go away from her. So I ask you to help me." explained Afnan.


"Gue must help you. But if I may know who is the girl who is fooled by you?" ask Ardian curiously.


"His best friend Chayra" Afnan replied weakly. Hearing Afnan's reply made Ardian speechless. Does that mean Afnan will marry one of his best friends Chayra? Who will marry Afnan? The khansa? Or Talina?
