LIEGE
DIVE IN

Meanwhile in the coffee shop looks Gustav and Starla dumbstruck to hear the story of Ardian. They don't know what to comment. They can't believe Ardian dared to do such a reckless thing.

"Elo's drunk all night?" ask Gustav curious.

"No. If I'm drunk there's no way I can take the car to this apartment" replied Ardian.

"Elo consciously do that?" This time Starla asked. Ardian nodded.

"Elo use safety, right?" ask Gustav. This time Ardian nodded.

"Yes tuhaaan... Elo it baj****n but go***k! It's a little smart if you want to do that!" taunted Starla. "What if she's pregnant? Elo knew that he would soon marry Daffa. If she gets pregnant there is no way she can marry Daffa. How could Daffa want to marry a girl who's been used by another guy."

"Wait... elo did that not because it would thwart Erin's marriage right?" ask Gustav not to believe.

"What do you mean, baby?" starla asked confusedly. "Why did Ardian want to thwart Erin's marriage?"

"She just realized she's in love with Erin." Ardian turned his head riled up because of the mouth of Gustav's bucket. Starla laughed at hearing that.

"Geez In. elo tuh it's true g. Everyone can guess that too" Starla said with a laugh.

"Do you know, baby?" ask Gustav astonished.

"Basically, you guys are indeed insensitive! Would you do something without a second thought if it wasn't for the one you love?"

"meaning?" Gustav asked again.

"You still remember how you used to oppose our relationship because we still have a sibling relationship but you are willing to be yelled at by papa? Did you forget you ever put on a body because opa wanted to hit me? What's your reason for doing that?" Starla asked back.

"Because I love you."

"Well, there it is! Because love. Would you do that if you didn't love me? I'm sure you wouldn't have gotten into shape for me if it wasn't for love. Did you forget how you were willing to get beat up by Erina when she found out about our relationship?" Gustav nodded in understanding Starla's intentions.

"Gue is indeed g****k. But last night I didn't do that because I wanted to ruin their marriage. Their relationship that night had run out before I did that."

"You mean?"

"Erina seemed to have learned the secret of Daffa's past. And I'm sure he can't accept that or he doesn't accept that because he was lied to by Daffa" explained Ardian without explaining in more detail the cause of the breakup of Erina and Daffa's engagement.

"Then what are you going to do?" ask Starla.

"Gue will propose to him. I'm gonna go see Uncle Andrew and tell him everything honestly."

"Elo sure?" Gustav looks worried. "Erin uncle Andrew's only son. You know for yourself how much they love Erin."

"Then what if Daffa found out about this? I'm sure he'll beat you up or even kill you." asked Starla.

"Eitherway. I didn't think about it. What I have in mind right now is how I convinced Erina to accept my responsibility."

"I mean.. Elo wants to marry her?" Ardian nodded steadily. There is no doubt. Even his eyes seemed determined.

"But... aren't you afraid of getting beat up by him?" ask Starla. "It's even possible that he'll put Elo in jail."

Gustav and Starla looked at each other. They can understand Ardian's fear. Back when Erina was about to die, Ardian was completely in a state of shock. Last night Ardian did not move from Erina's side. He faithfully accompanied Erina until the girl came to her senses. Ardian is also diligent to accompany and encourage Erina when she had to undergo therapy with a psychiatrist.

Everyone who knows it can see the sincerity of Ardian's feelings, even though they have not dared to ask or ascertain how the real Ardian feels to Erina. Even Gustav had heard his mother and Arga discuss the possibility of matching Ardian with Erina. But at that time Ardian always predicted his friendship with Erina. Nothing more. Perhaps that is what makes their relationship more lasting than the romantic relationship between men and women.

Erina looked at the vast ocean before her. The sun that has not been rising for a long time gives rise to a reddish tinge in the sky . Screeches of seagulls flying and the pounding of the waves seemed to be music that calmed his soul. It's been a week since Erina took a break at Raymond's co-worker's cottage. Quite a private place on one of the small islands in the eastern region.

FLASHBACKS

"Lex, can you help me?" erina asked unceremoniously via mobile phone to Alexia.

"Rin, what's the matter elo-night call me?" alexia asked in a sleepy voice. He saw the clock on his cell phone, 1 in the morning.

"Who's dear?" The sound of men. Erina recognized it was Raymond's voice.

"Eryn." Alexia answered the man's question. "I'm out of the room for a second. You just sleep, beb."

"Elo's fine, isn't he, Rin?" ask Alexia. From Erina's tone of voice, she could tell that her best friend was not doing well. I don't know what happened.

"Lex, I need your help."

"Gue would help elo if he could. But what's up? You had a fight with Daffa? It's normal to get closer to the wedding day. Hmm. But your marriage is still six months away."

"Lex, please don't ask this first. I want to ask you to find a place where I can rest and think calmly without being disturbed by anyone."

"Elo want to run away?" This time Alexia was completely awake after hearing Erina's request.

"Please Lex, find me a place. I'll tell you when the time is right. I can't tell you yet. I just want to leave this town and go somewhere not many people know." Erina still did not answer Alexia's curiosity. "Even if it's necessary only you know the place."

After hearing Erina's words and from her tone, Alexia knew that there was no point in urging Erina to tell a story. They have been friends for years. Alexia knew something had happened even though she wasn't sure what it was. He also knew that if Erina continued to be urged, the girl would avoid him. Ah, I better follow what she wants, thought Alexia.

"Rin, I'll find that place. I'll ask Raymond if he knows the place you want. Is this urgent?"

"Sorry Lex, I have to leave this town immediately. The longer I stay, the more crazy I get. Please tell me as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay. I'll ask Raymond, but maybe tomorrow morning I can just tell you to elo. Raymond just went to bed. I don't feel good waking him up. It just so happens that he's not feeling well."

"OKAY. I hope you can give me info tomorrow morning. Thanks to Lex"

After Erina hung up, Alexia could only stare at her phone not understanding. His head was filled with questions. What the hell has happened? Did Erin have a big fight with her future husband? Did Daffa cheat before their marriage?

FLASHBACK OFF

And this is where Erina is. Sit on the terrace with a warm cup of coffee. After a few days of being in this place, Erina's mind slowly calmed down. He took his phone and sent a message to Yuna. Told me about his condition this morning. Neither Yuna nor Andrew asked much where he was at the moment. They understand their desire not to be disturbed. The most important thing for them was that Erina sent a message every day so that they knew Erina was not reckless. In other words they knew Erina was still alive.

Erina has changed her phone number. Only her family and Alexia know her new number. Even Rain did not tell me about his new number. He is currently familiar with the nature of Raina who is easily persuaded to tell his new number to Ardian and Daffa. While he currently really does not want to connect the two creatures. He really did not want the two to reappear in his life.
