Dareel POVs

"Win, how come you're here?" I asked when I arrived in front of the police station and saw Edwin was going to ride his sport bike. "It's usually a race problem" Edwin said, as I thought this morning.

"Where are you going now?"

"In the apartment, I can't go home right now." Edwin replied, This child always behaves as if nothing happened. Indeed, among the three of us, Edwin is the most calm and relaxed person if faced with any problems.

"Gue go back to college first, later in the afternoon I'm meeting at your house, okay." I patted him on the shoulder, there was indeed another 1 hour meeting at the campus where I taught. So I can't accompany Edwin now, I'll come see him again in the afternoon.

This is where I am now with the other lecturers and some Professors. As in previous years, this meeting discussed the Evaluation of Preparation and Achievement of New Students. It's been two hours we discussed about this discussion, I lyrics watch turned out to be still eleven at noon.

*

At exactly twelve o'clock in the afternoon we came out of the meeting building, all the lecturers headed to their respective course classes, including Dion. But not with me, Professor asked me to help him prepare the seminar material that will be carried out in two days.

After I finish my chores, it's time for me to go home. I'm going to see Edwin, I'm going to call first.

"Hmmm," came Edwin's deheman and the loud music from the phone.

"Where is Lo now?" Ask Edwin

"Gue's? I'm at the club usually," Edwin's voice rattled. What happened to him, why he's been clubbing this afternoon. It's not usually Edwin like this. "Gue there, you don't go anywhere." I got no response from Edwin, immediately I turned off the call and hurried off to meet him.

I entered a club, I saw Edwin sitting on a corner sofa and in front of him were a few bottles of drink. Looks like he's been in this place for a long time, I approached him "Lo how many glasses, already win." I reached for the glass of alcohol as Edwin was about to drink it.

Edwin squashed his hair in frustration. "Lo why, same story me," said I patted his back. "Tonight I'm racing. You know Rion, who had the same problem as Dion. He tells me, he says I'm using drugs and he's the one who goes to the police station if there's a race." I nodded in response, I do know who Rion is. He was always looking for trouble both with me and with Edwin and Dion.

"Gue was arrested at the police station, this morning my man came to me. I know it's going to be a long business, I just think the same I dengerap I'm in the news because of the drug case and the wild race." He continued to exhale and fill his hair.

"Gue went home, and you know what I saw? Nyokap I cry in the same bokap I because ngebelain me, when I want to nyokap me. All the bodyguard bokap I ngehadang, I can not do anything to nolong nyokap me," Edwin closed his eyes and peed at the base of his nose.

"Lo know how crazy my bokap, any small mistake that is always the impingement of me. He never believed in me and me, why I still can survive the same rich man," said Edwin increasingly raucous. "And I can't do anything, reel," continued Edwin.

"Gue knows how crazy you are, I know. It's not your fault you're not wrong, believe me slowly all will improve. I know you want to protect your nyokap but you also have to endure your emotions when in front of your bokap. The drug problem is a test? how'd it go?" My words calmed her down a little and asked about the test results.

"Negative, my assholes I have never used that," he said glanced at me lazily. I smiled, Edwin is like this. People thought it was an affair, a playboy and a plot. But on the other hand Edwin is very good, even he has always been a friend of his mother. And yes, it was between the three of us that Edwin had the highest IQ, but he didn't make good use of it. However, he became a lecturer because of his mother's wishes. Edwin loved the woman who gave birth to him.

"When? What's the ride here?" I asked Edwin, "Gue's got the bike, '" he replied. "Telfon your house so you can take your motorbike here, let me anter to lo apartment," I said and tried to help Edwin stand. "I was on the phone,"

As I was helping Edwin walk past the people dancing to music, my eyes suddenly stared at a woman sitting at the bar table not far from me. Alana... That's Alana, why it's the afternoon like this she's here, I thought.

*

I went back to the club after taking Edwin home. I went to the bar table where I saw Alana there, but now she's gone. I glanced here and there and looked for him but couldn't find him. My head was so dizzy to hear this loud music. Where did Alana go. I quickly pressed her number, called Alana. Shit, he didn't pick up my call.

I went back to the bar table and asked the tenter there, "Ah Alana huh? Half an hour ago he left, he used to be here malem-malem. Tumben also he came in the afternoon gini." Saying that, I vaguely heard it. Well I'll try to get to the apartment, maybe he's home.

As I was about to enter Alana's apartment, the aunt who helped Alana's homework came out. Then I asked him. "Bi, I'm sorry is Alana inside?"

"Non Alana's? She's in the room, but I'm sorry, miss said she didn't want to be disturbed, "aunty explained to me. "Ah I'm Dareel, Alana's friend. Alana came over to me, so I came here" I told a lie to my aunt. "Oooh my friend yes.yaudah just come in, I'm sorry to go home," the middle-aged woman smiled at me and I replied with a nod.

I immediately climbed up the stairs to Alana's room, as I entered her room. I saw Alana sleeping on my back. I walked up to her, I sat in front of that beautiful sleeping face. Wait...is she crying? Alana sobbed softly and her eyes shed tears.

I immediately stroked Alana's fist and calmed her down, slowly she opened her eyes. He blinked at me, I immediately gave him the white water that was on his nightstand. Alana sat down and accepted. "Are you having a nightmare?" I asked Alana.

Does this happen to Alana often? She was crying in her sleep. "Why are you here?" not answering my question, he asked back. I tidied up her messy hair and smiled little, what adorable my Alana is.

"I saw you last night at the Club but when I came you were gone" replied I, who received no response from Alana. Alana put her body back on the bed and closed her eyes, not caring about me sitting next to her.

"Al what do you want to eat? I'm sure I'm delivering?" I asked Alana. Alana opened her eyes and took a look at "Why are you back again?" Ask Alana.

"Lo know you're the same papa who made my life ruined, you left me and make me think what's wrong I went to lo. Lo promise to take care of me, but when papa nyakinin I no longer exist," said Alana sobbing slowly staring at me with her eyes red because hold back crying.

"Al, now I'm here. You can be mad at me, I can be angry at me, you can do anything to me. But believe me, I'm really back now. Yes I left you, it was my stupidity. I shouldn't have believed your Papa back then, but, I'm sorry Al." I clasped his hand, and Alana did not refuse.

"Gue know papa ngancem lo, but should whatever it is do not leave me. Now I'm afraid you'll leave me again. Sorry reel, it's hard for me to accept all this." Alana let go of my hand and turned back to me.

"I know this hurts Al a lot, but I'm already here, I'll do whatever makes you happy even if it doesn't bring everything back. Slowly, Al.. Slowly you will accept me." My words stroked his head and allowed the blanket Alana was wearing.

As I was about to walk out of her room, Alana suddenly called out to me. "Dareel," I came to him, he shifted to give me a place in his bed. "Gue can't lie, I miss you, but you don't macem" he said, patting the empty bed beside him, telling me to sleep.

"If I've slept you can go," said Alana put bolsters as a barrier between us. I smiled at her behavior, but she hasn't changed. This is what I miss about Alana.

Alana slowly began to close her eyes.Seeing Alana's calm face like this made my heart comfortable, making me forget all the problems that happened.

*

I think Alana's asleep, I'm moving my hands in front of her face. Right, he's asleep soundly. I couldn't stop smiling, how could she be so adorable even while sleeping like this.

I saw my phone vibrating, there were nine missed calls forty-five minutes ago. Five calls from Dion and four calls from Edwin, and then I opened the incoming message.

Are you staying at your friend's house tonight? Did something happen?, wrote a message sent by Uncle. I forgot to tell him I didn't come home tonight. Yeah I'm not home, I'm staying at a friend's house. Sorry to worry you uncle, I replied to Uncle's message.

Then I opened another message from Dion. Reel, this hunt here Edwin is trapped by Rion's gang. I'm searloc the location. What else is this, why Rion and his friends are always looking for trouble with us. Aren't we too old for the fight that young people do. Just bother.

I looked at Alana again who was sleeping very fast, I stroked her hair, really very beautiful. "I'm going, yeah," I said softly and kissed her nose. Then I slowly got out of bed so as not to wake her up. I need to see Dion and Edwin, they're my best friends and they need me.
