1 Chapter 1

Raina...! Raina.....! A man shouted while running. Raina, who was walking while listening to music through earphones, looked back to see who was calling her. His smile widened, seeing a man running towards her. His hair is half wet with sweat, his uniform always looks messy, his eyes are sharp, his eyebrows are thick, and his thin mustache is charming, Raina is familiar with that's all. A guy named Henri who became his best friend when he was in high school.

"Why do you have to run?" asked Raina

Why go home first? "," Henri said.

"How long do I have to wait for you to add lessons for choosing not to do my homework? We're going to graduate, but you're still messing around like you're not preparing for anything," Raina said, a little upset.

Raina kept going and installed the earphones again. Henri walks slower behind him with a contrite face. He knows very well how Raina nags. Therefore, Henri was silent and would not debate anything. Henri is not as smart as Raina, he is ranked in the bottom 10 while Raina is ranked in the top 3. Raina is a hardworking and well-planned figure, while Henri is lazy and includes bad boys at school. But the stoppage is as close as the veins, Henri is one - Raina's only male friend, and instead Raina is Henri's only female close friend. Raina lives alone in a modest apartment in her town, while Henri lives with his wealthy family.

After passing through two stops, Raina almost reached her apartment, but Henri kept following behind her.

"It's better if you have time, use it to learn to follow me like a ghost," Raina said.

"It's raining, have you ever seen a ghost as handsome as me?" , Henri said.

Raina threw the book she brought to Henri. Raina rushed into her apartment. Henri looks annoyed, calls Raina many times but there is no answer. Then Henri rushes home, he knows that Raina will be working part-time at CoVishop which is a popular café in his area today, he can return the book there later.

Meanwhile, in her apartment Raina is lying on the bed closing her eyes. It didn't take raina long to fall asleep, in her dream she was in a very dark room, and it was scary, suddenly someone pulled her out, and threw her into the deep sea. In that dream Raina could not swim, and drowned, she screamed and asked for help but no one heard it, because for too long in the water Raina was out of breath. A moment later Raina awoke from a dream with sweat all over her body, and gasped. Raina saw the clock on her phone, she had to get ready and rushed to the coffee shop because her working hours were near. After arriving at her workplace, her boss and best friend Vitalia greeted her with a warm hug.

"What's wrong with your expression, Rain? Looks like you're in a bad mood", Vitalia asked.

"Just tired, not sleeping much these days" , replied Raina with a smile.

"Too much self-imposed to learn to prepare for the final exam huh? With your brain must have passed with good results Rain, just relax, even people with sub-standard brains are not as hard as you try" , vitalia said while pointing to Henri who had just entered the coffee shop.

Raina smiles while shaking her head, Henri looks confused by the expression of the two girls in front of him.

"Don't you dare gossip about me!" shouted Henri.

"There's nothing to gossip about you Hen, what we say about you is just the truth", vitalia replied.

Raina rushes to her place, Henri sits in the customer's chair and orders a coffee. Vitalia appears to be in a hurry to leave the coffee shop. As usual, this coffee shop is always crowded with customers. Henri always spends his time at CoVishop so raina doesn't come home alone at night. Many female customers deliberately come just because they want to see Henry, with Henri's appearance indeed fall into the handsome category, but he turned down various offers to become a model. Raina only smiles when most of her female customers try to ask for Henri's mobile number, she knows full well that Henri was never attracted to aggressive women. Past 23.00, it means that the closing time has arrived, while cleaning the bar counter, a shiny luxury car stops in front of the café. Some dashing people, in neat black suits and lying down, Raina and Henri look confused, especially the condition of the café that has closed the order. One of them approached Raina, judging by her condition, it can be assumed she was the boss of the people behind her. Raina is still speech-speechable.

"Hot vanilla latte, sweetheart", said a handsome man with a pointy chin line and charming eyes in front of Raina.

Raina immediately realized, that people with western blasteran visuals speak English.

"Sorry we have a close order", replied Raina kindly.

"But you're still here and your hands are still working, aren't you?" the man replied briefly.

Raina was shocked to hear the answer. Henri immediately approached and said:

"Bro, can't you read the writing on the doorstep that this café is closed?"

Before stepping closer, Henri is confronted by some stocky men. Seeing the situation that Raina was shaking, she knew that maybe the man in front of her and her men was quite dangerous. Eventually Raina decides to process this stranger's order, with the notes she has to carry.

"Thank you, sweetie" the stranger said with a wink and took his coffee away.

Henri immediately approaches Raina, clearly visible on his face that Henri does not like the behavior of the foreign man.

"Good thing I'm here, just imagine what would happen if you were alone Rain?" , henri said.

"I'm going to have to ask you What are you doing, Hen? You can't even get past those guards, we're safe because I made them vanilla lattes. "," Raina replied with a chuckle.

After leaving the café the two of them walked together to Raina's apartment. On the way Raina opens a chat with Henri.

"What's your plan after graduation Hen?" , Asked Raina.

I don't know, I don't have any specific plans, I'll go wherever you go, henri replied.

"You bad boy, how can you stick to me like you do now? You can even go anywhere with your parents condition" Raina said.

Henri just smiles, he knows that Raina has been aware of his feelings from the beginning, it's just that maybe Raina doesn't want to know about this. With Henri's appearance and the condition of a qualified family background, of course Henri can date all the girls in school. However, Henri actually kept his distance from all the girls, as only Raina has been the focus for the last three years.

"Don't forget to lock Rain's door, I'll see you tomorrow at school!" , Henri said.

"Hen, from tomorrow just take your motorcycle to school, no need to come with me on the bus," Raina said .

"Okay, I'll pick you up at 7:00 a.m. see you Rain" shouted Henri while running without hearing Raina's answer.

Raina enters her apartment smiling at Henri's behavior. For Raina, the decision to keep her relationship with Henri in the friendship zone, because she was afraid, more than that they would find separation. Raina's parents separated, each had a new family and left Raina in an orphanage. What hurts her most, seeing how her parents separated, not to mention the violence Raina experienced because of her mother. Repeatedly Raina wanted to be killed by her own mother, beaten to the ground and bleeding, thrown into the river, even locked in a room without being fed. Her mother was so distressed by her breakup, due to her mother's poor mental state, some relatives sent Raina to an orphanage at the age of 5. From that age, no family members came to see her.
