One Summer Night "Only You Do I Believe"
Episode Seventy eight

Hans opened the apartment door, he walked excitedly. His struggle has been in vain all this time. How many times he had to fall, how many times he had to build trust for his loved ones. Many times even he always assured Niken that he would never falter. It is true that Erika's arrival has brought disaster to her relationship. But Hans never thought negatively with all Erika's treatment of him. Given that Erika is a good woman, as well as her childhood friend. Hans never suspected anything. But suddenly Hans heard a crisp laughter in the room. The door opened wide, Hans heard Erika calling someone. He scrunched his forehead. "Ohya, have you transferred my money? You know, no, it's a tough job for me. Moreover, I had to leave my son and husband for an entire month. For the money I have to earn to destroy someone's relationship. I really don't have the heart, Key. Hans is very fond of Niken. But I need money too. Why do you want to destroy their relationship? Didn't you destroy Niken's relationship with Fariz? You fucked that guy and traumatized Niken." Erika said, for a long time she was silent, "Ohhhh so. Oh, yes it is. Afraid of Hans coming. I'll get caught in my skit. Pretend I don't have a cell phone, but I brought it. How about calling my husband if you don't bring it. Hhaha... Okay bye..." Erika closed her call. Like lightning in broad daylight. Hans stifles his emotions after he hears for himself that Erika deliberately wants to destroy his relationship with Niken.

Hans didn't expect his childhood friend to be able to do that. Erika turned her body, and saw Hans standing firmly behind her. His whole blood was flowing hot. There was nothing he could do anymore. Erika swallowed bitter saliva.

"Hans? You you? Eee have you been there long?" Asked Erika stuttering. Hans nodded slowly. "Give me my phone?" Hans Pinta. Erika returned the phone. Hans throws his phone hard, so his phone is destroyed instantly.

"Go!" Dump Hans. Erika was silent. Hans recalled the first time he met Erika while she was in Medan. At that moment Erika hugged Hans while saying.

"Help me, Hans. I beg you to help me. Both my parents will match me to a man I don't know. I don't love her. I need a place to calm down. Can I go to Jakarta and stay there for a while?" Because of his pity, Hans finally helped Erika. But he does not expect that his childhood friend betrayed him, took advantage of him, and destroyed his relationship with Niken. For one month, he did not receive any special call from Niken. Can't even call her to flirt and seduce her lover. His phone was confiscated for contacting his parents. Hans felt tricked by Erika.

"Hans, please listen to my explanation."

"Even when Niken comes home, you know, right? And you purposely hugged me to avenge Kezia for Niken? That so?" Imbuh Hans's.

"No. Uhmm I mean, it's not what you imagined. Look, I need money." Instead of reasoning, Erika unintentionally told the truth.

"Money...? You need money?" Hans cut off Erika's sentence, then gave Erika hundreds of bills. "Take. And don't ever show your face in front of me again." Hans. His entire blood flow was boiling. Hans had no power to restrain his emotions. He drove Erika out viciously. Erika did not have time to explain, she left without looking at Hans.

The afternoon weather was not so hot, nor overcast, Niken was sitting on an empty bench, in the campus cafeteria. Lunch alone with a cell phone and a book. He glanced to the right, seeing several male lecturers including Hans sitting on the north side, they ordered food and drinks for lunch. Hans looked at Niken from a distance. He sat alone. Wanting the heart to approach her, explained back what happened to her and Erika. But he broke his intention. Even with Niken, he felt Hans was no longer chasing him. No longer wanting to get his heart. Neither did apologizing. Niken was very disappointed. Maybe they are not fools.

Niken went into his room, and so did Hans. They are busy with their own business. There was no word between them anymore. Days and weeks.

"Ken, you and Hans are fighting again...?" Bella asked when they were in the meeting room.

"We broke up." Answer Niken short.

"Why?" Bella was surprised. Everyone glanced at the two of them including Hans.

"long story. I can't keep it anymore." Reply Niken. Bella pats Niken on the shoulder.

"Prophey, Ken. I'm sure your grief will be over soon." Bella Imbuh. Niken nodded his head. When the meeting started, Hans' eyes were always on Niken. A few moments he shifted his eyes. Then I looked back at Niken's face.

"...we congratulate Professor Hans and Professor Niken." Said Mr. Rector. All the lecturers applauded loudly. Niken turned towards Hans, their eyes met. But Niken took another look.

"Thank you for being loyal to our school." Said mr. Kiki. Niken nodded as well as Hans.

"I think Miss Niken and Mr. Hans fit in. You're the only two I think are single. Maybe we can match them." Continue mr. Kiki. Niken lowered her head in shame.

"Maybe if Niken's willing, sir." Reply Hans. Niken looked up, Hans stared at him sharply. It was a not so wonderful moment for Niken.

"Are we no longer together?" Hans asked as they walked towards his room. Niken stopped and looked straight at Hans.

"My mother will match me to a man better than you. Then, don't expect anything more from me." Answer Niken.

"Are you going to marry a man you don't love?"

"It's better than I have to get hurt again by you." Reply Niken, stepping again.

"What if I derail your matchmaking?" Hans. Niken turned his head, their eyes meeting in one point.

"You're crazy." Answer Niken. Suddenly Hans pushed Niken, holding Niken's arm against the wall. He looked at her sharply. Same with Niken.

"Why does it feel like your face shows that you're still expecting me? Your eyes still say you love me. And you can't turn away from me." He said Niken looked back at Hans.

"You misinterpreted my attitude. To me you are the past." Reply Niken.

"Tell me that you don't love me anymore. After that I won't be looking for you anymore." Imbuh Hans's. Niken held back her tears, she shook her head.

"I don't love you anymore." Said Niken, as if convincing Hans to no longer hope for him.

"Say it again." Pinta Hans's,

"I don't love you, Hans. I don't love you. You satisfied?" Answer Niken. Slowly Hans let go of his grasp. And passed away from Niken. A tear fell down her cheek.
