Nattali POVs

"Well, two weeks you've been back in Indonesia, but don't tell me I'm the same? And just now eating?" I asked the tall man sitting in front of me, we were both in the cafe where the three of us used to gather.

"Sorry, Natt. I came back here also because there is a company problem, previously there was no plan to come back here again." Said me. "Than, why torture yourself,? When do you want to go this alone, hmm?" Ask Ethan.

Ethan D Emery, my best friend and alana, we were friends five years ago. Ethan has been living in the United States for three years because of his job as a professional photographer. Ethan is the youngest of two children, unlike his brother as the heir to the company, he is more interested in the world of photographers. Actually Ethan was reluctant to return to Indonesia, only his papa forced because of a problem in the company.

"No, I don't want this alone, you know that, too." Ethan smiled wryly. "Would living in America forget how you feel about alana?" I looked at Ethan.

"It is getting sicker away from alana, but yes gini the risk if you like your own friends. Yaudah, it's just me who is racist, alana don't know. If he knows, everything can change, and it hurts a lot more." Ethan said a sip of coffee at the end of his sentence.

"Alana misses you, why don't we meet you in America? We're like sisters to Alana, only we can understand her. I know it's hard on you, too, but Alana needs us, Than." I tried to persuade Ethan that he wanted to see Alana.

I'm confused as to why this happened in our friendship. I've heard the word 'Among male and female friendship, it's impossible not to have the feeling of love from one of her', and now I believe it.

Ethan, he loved alana from long ago to now. But Alana does not know the feeling of ethan, because ethan hides it and behaves as if there is no feeling of exaggeration as a friend.

Avoiding alana is one of the reasons Ethan prefers to settle in America. Ethan keeps everything to himself and doesn't want Alana to know what's going on. Because what Ethan fears is a change in alana attitude after knowing the feelings of ethan who loves him.

"All right, I'll see him later." I smiled and gave my thumbs up in front of Ethan. "Yess, when do we have a party? That welcoming party," I teased Ethan who was just shaking his head.

Dareel POVs

At eight in the morning I woke up after sleeping two hours ago, the second time I woke up like this. Beside me, I could see Alana falling asleep. I approached and kissed her on the forehead, thank goodness the alana fever had gone down. I slowly got out of bed.

After taking a shower I got down to make breakfast, "Master, I've prepared porridge and vegetable soup. The milk has also been warmed, I'm sorry to go home, sir." Pamit aunty to me, apparently aunty has prepared breakfast.

"Thank you very much, bi." I said to my aunt, who she didn't come home last night for helping me look after Alana.

I brought the porridge, soup and milk to the room, Alana had to eat before taking the medicine. Alana's still asleep, I put a tray on the nightstand and sat next to alana.

I rubbed alana's cheek, and slowly she opened her eyes. "In the morning, does your stomach still hurt?" I asked, Alana shook her head in response. "Eat it, auntie's already cooking porridge and soup." My words help alana to sit down.

"Let's... " I began to feed the alana slowly and she did not protest or refute at all, either the obedient alana.

"Thank you" said Alana after eating the porridge and soup and medicine. "Are you going to sleep again or go to the bathroom?" Ask Alana, "You want to walk ahead."

We were both in the front yard of Alana's apartment, I didn't agree with her request. His Deman had even just come down and he wanted to go for a walk with this cloudy weather.

"Today I was a little unconscious, so I asked you to sleep next to me. Sorry, yes" said alana who is now on my back, I carried her.

"No, that's my guess. Surely if you're healthy, don't want to tell me if it's you who told me to sleep next to you." My words teased alana, and was countered with a small punch on my back.

"Gapain's coming to work, taking me for a walk." Said alana glancing at me lazily, look at her already back as usual, adorable.

"Whose way?" I asked Alana's hand. "Who's up to me, napa the lo." Alana took off my hand. Is it still difficult to accept me, until now I feel that Alana still gives limits to me not to enter her life again.

I smiled rubbing her hair, "Gue males to the office, Especially lately often meetings. There's the same papa tersah, disgust I see it." Alana says.

"Where does it feel like a day is lost and not meet people? Let me have no burden of thought, think of nothing else, just one day I want to calm down. Could not yes," said alana staring ahead with teary eyes.

I knelt down in front of Alana, "Must disappear? Your existence here is very much expected by people who love you. It's not that one or two people hurt you and you want to leave people who love you, think of people who are always there." I clasped Alana's hand.

Alana just kept quiet and looked at me softly, "Let's go in," I bent my body to hold alana. "Well? I can walk by myself, noh see boy, shame." Alana said, gently hitting my back and walking ahead of me.

"Who do you know from if I got sick yesterday?" Alana asked when we were both in the elevator. "Yesterday night I called you, I came straight here after hearing your voice as different as usual." I looked at Alana.

"Do you know what happened to me yesterday?" Alana asked again, but now the voice trembled slightly. I hugged and rubbed his shoulders, "Hemm, I know, Al. I know what's going on, stay strong and always be with me. I'll protect you" I said, and I'll avenge everything they did to us. After that, there is no reason for us to separate. I continue in my heart.

"Al, get some rest, I'll be here again. Now I'm going to college, hmm." I said after driving Alana to the door of her apartment. Alana just nodded in response, I slowly kissed her lips. I smiled as I got a sharp look after that.

Alana POVs

I closed the apartment door after Dareel left to go home. My body is a little better after a short walk, maybe a warm bath will make me relax.

Ting tung's...

The bell rang out, who was it. Did Dareel come back to pick up the thing left behind,?.

I opened the apartment door, this man was behind me. "I'm sorry" I said because this tall man never turned around.

"Hi" said this man after turning to face me. My mouth was open, I was really surprised, was I dreaming?, I touched my forehead to make sure. No, I don't have a fever anymore. "Oh my God, Ethan's sister..." I hugged the man who had not been home for three years.

I hugged and shook Ethan's body, "Am I not allowed in?" Ethan's temptation because I didn't let him in, Aaah I'm so happy...

"Come on, let's go in." I said pulling his hand, ah yes I just realized that Ethan brought a bouquet of lilies and some chocolate candy, Aaah he still remembers my favorite flowers and snacks.

Ethan ruffled my hair "Wait... What do you want to drink?" Ask Ethan who is sitting on the couch. "Your green tea, yes I want it." The answer smiled at me. I lifted my thumb and immediately walked into the kitchen.

*

"What's that?" I asked her to look at the bouquet of flowers and the chocolate box Ethan had placed on the table. "Oh this? Gifts for my girlfriend, good not flowers?" Ethan replied casually sipping my green tea.

I'm angry, I think it's for me. Who else is close to Ethan if I'm not the one who likes lilies and chocolates, it sucks.

Ethan laughed at my forehead, "Yes, yes this is for you. I bought the chocolate in Paris but the flowers are here." Ethan gave me that gift. I smiled happily to accept it. "Don't change very much from the first love to make people sprained. Thanks for the gift, often dong buyin ginian." I opened a box of chocolates filled with chocolate candy.

"Some also met after three years, asked the news of the cake, said I was getting handsome cake. Uh even a gift," Ethan said to me, which I responded with a ruckus. "Do you want me to buy chocolate candy from different countries, right,? But there's a condition," continued Ethan, I looked at Ethan who was also seriously staring at me.

"Now, mauu.. What condition?" I looked expectantly at Ethan. "Married to me," replied Ethan making me choke on this chocolate candy.
