Tera approached Ghina, who was having a lively chat with Erza outside the GOR, which Tera went to because she had business with Mr. Benny and also the studio manager.

"Gin."

Ghina waved at Tera who was standing next to her. Her eyes stared at Tera's entire body in confusion.

"You came straight here from the airport?" Gina asked then. Seeing Tera still hanging her sunglasses on the buttons of her shirt meant that Tera had not yet come home.

Tera nodded. "Yeah, I didn't have time to go home. You're taking the car now, no?"

"Bring a motorbike, is it okay?"

"It's okay, if you bring two helmets."

Gina gave a happy thumbs up. Her eyes winked at Tera. "of course, I am!"

Erza, who had been just staring at the two, now joined in. "Where are you guys going? May I join, please? I finished training, there's nothing to do."

Ghina took out a sheet of ivory white cardboard in front of Erza who was frowning in surprise. Her hand hesitantly accepted the paper, and as if seeing the name on the paper, Erza grinned happily.

"Come on, next month. Saturday, so you don't look like a single. I'm holding the event on Saturday, so we can spend the Saturday night together."

The paper was an invitation from Gina to her future husband, whom she had known for more than 6 years.

Erza, who knew the two of them, then exclaimed happily. Ghina's future husband is a former college friend. They are indeed in different majors, however, they have been involved in a campus event that has made them close to this day. Who would have thought, Ghina could also be close to Erza because she was involved in the connection made by Tera. 

At that time they knew because Ghina always visited Tera in routine training sessions conducted by her volleyball team. Ghina, who often picks up or waits for Tera to come home, always sits in the audience to wait for Tera to finish her office hours. Erza, whose child is too outgoing, always has fun chatting with Ghina. That's why they are close, and who would have thought that Ghina's future husband was her college friend?

"Can I bring someone else's invitation?" Erza looked at the invitation with Gina in turn.

"Who do you want to bring? You're single."

"It's just delicious! I'm a quality single. There's no single person as cool as me."

"If you're cool, you're not single, Dumdass!" Gina answered quickly. "The invitation can be brought by anyone, as long as it's not more than two people. If you want to bring your whole family, you have to give me at least 1M."

"Huh! Why did I have to bring my whole family? I'd better celebrate it myself."

"Who knows, man ..."

Tera, who was only a listener, couldn't help but stare at the exciting interactions between the two of them. Her eyes looked around because she was bored, Tera subconsciously saw Gio who was staring at her from inside the GOR. The man was packing his things to put them in his bag, before walking out of the GOR, which meant he would pass.

Tera raised her eyebrows when Gio stopped in front of her.

"Gi ... where are you going? Back home?" Erza greeted when he saw Gio staring at Tera while putting his hands in the pockets of his shorts.

Gio glanced at Erza and nodded, then looked at Ghina for a long time. Trying to remember. "You're Tera's friend, right?"

Gina smiled brightly. "Right." She nodded. "I'm a friend of Tera who was at the restaurant."

"Wow, you guys already know each other." Erza chimed in.

"Who's the letterpress? Tera?" Gio looked curiously at the ivory white office that Erza was holding.

"No, that's Gina wants to get married." Tera answered curtly. For some reason, Tera doesn't like the aura that Gio gives off whenever he's around her. It felt like Tera felt something familiar in the aura that Gio gave off.

Gio heaved a sigh of relief, which was so obvious, that Ghina and Erza stared at each other in silence.

"I thought that you were going to get married." Gio shrugged nonchalantly.

Tera who heard it then snorted in disgust. "Not yet, Ghin? Let's find something to eat before we go back."

"All right, come on." Ghina then said goodbye to Erza and Gio who were staring at Ghina and Tera. "Go ahead, everyone."

"Hey, I'm coming with you guys! I'm bored, I don't have any more events."

"Sure, just follow from behind. What are you riding on?"

"Motorcycle."

Gio saw Tera had walked away leaving Ghina who was still chatting with Erza as if she didn't care about the conversation between her two friends. An idea suddenly popped into his head.

"Where are you guys going?" Gio asked Ghina and Erza.

"Hang out." They answered at the same time.

"May I join?"

Tera is very good at hiding her feelings. When she feels annoyed with someone, then she will try to act normally like she doesn't have any problems, even if she is happy, angry, sad, or nervous. She was very good at hiding her feelings as tightly as possible so as not to show so much emotion on her face.

Ghina knew that having been friends with Tera for more than 10 years, Ghina knew that she was very good at hiding the various emotions that were raging inside her head. Her face always looks flat and calm at the same time. Tera was very clever, but Gina could see that. Being friends with Tera for a long time makes it seem as if Ghina is used to guessing what's in Tera's head. Guess the look on Tera's face that was holding back various emotions.

As it is now. Ghina was sure that Tera's wrinkled face looked vaguely irritated by Gio who suddenly came with them to just hang out at their favorite place. Ghina realized that whenever they discussed Gio outside of the office chatter, Tera would quickly change her face to be as level as possible to look undisturbed. She was curious as to what was going on between the two of them.

Tera sighed bored. Seeing the interaction of the three people at the same table made her a little lazy.

"Tera, why are you still enjoying being single?" Erza asked while she was eating her salt pepper tofu.

This is what makes Tera lazy. The question will certainly be thrown because what they discuss is about love. At the age of 27 years, still thinking about or talking about love is no longer suitable according to Tera.

Gio, who was drinking his black coffee, raised his eyebrows high, waiting for an answer from Tera who looked very reluctant.

"Why are you still single?" Tera asked back.

Erza smirked playfully. "You refused before."

Tera successfully snorted in disgust. While Ghina just laughed at Tera who was getting more and more annoyed. Gio, who heard it, almost choked on his drink which was still a little hot.

"Have you ever shot Tera?" Gio asked for sure.

Erza laughed. "Once, a few times."

"It's been a while, you really like to talk about the past," Tera said, annoyed. She didn't have to hide her annoyance anymore. She doesn't know, well, she feels really bad right now, for some reason.

"Several times?" Gio's eyes successfully bulged in disbelief.

"The first time because Tera thought I was joking. Then I repeated it a second time, she said she was confused about what to answer, so she asked for time. The third time, because she said she was busy, I hadn't answered until now."

Tera rolled her eyes lazily. Why do some people like to disgrace themselves? It should be a disgrace to Erza, but for some reason, Erza loves to talk about such embarrassing things. Erza was rejected, Tera was embarrassed.

"Seriously, Ter?"

Ghina, who didn't seem interested in joining the chat because she was busy with her cellphone, made Tera who saw it even more annoyed. Her friend is being bullied like this, Ghina doesn't even seem to care.

"Erza is weird, isn't it, Mr. Gio? How can someone be so proud to expose himself disgrace." Tera shook her head in disbelief.

Erza who saw it laughed loudly. Because according to him, the romance that he had deliberately built with Tera was so funny. One-way romance, because Erza feels so close and coveted by Tera, while Tera does that to everyone. Erza felt stupid at that time. Therefore, he enjoys telling everyone his unique and painful story.

"He's the one with the disgrace, I'm the one who's ashamed."

"How can you refuse?" Gio asked curiously.

"You just have to see for yourself. He likes to dismantle his disgrace, I don't want to let my disgrace be dismantled with him later."

Gio thickened his ears when he still heard Tera's polite call to him, while Tera's call to Erza was in stark contrast.

Ghina who saw Tera was very upset and then cleared her throat. "Gio, why do you want to join Tera's team?"

Gio raised his eyebrows. "Well maybe because at PLN there are more people I've known for a long time, so it's easier to adapt."

"What companies recruited you? How many are there?"

"Many ... but, Pertamina and PLN are one of them."

Gio just said it flat. Ah, is this what it's like to chat with a superstar? It's kind of arrogant but that's the truth.

"Why did you finally choose Tera's team? Because there is Tera, huh?" Gina asked again.

"Could be." Gio shrugged nonchalantly, taking another sip of his coffee, which had cooled a bit.

Gina then cleared her throat. Her eyes glanced at Tera who seemed not interested in Gio's words just now.

"Why didn't you invite me to your party's?" Gio tried to divert the conversation, not wanting to continue trying to get Tera's attention. Judging from Tera's face, he didn't think it would work if he hit the gas now.

"That's because I just met you."

"But, you must be invited anyway." Erza chimed in.

"Why is it so?"

"Naufal's her future husband!"

"Bloody hell! Are you serious?" Gio then looked at Gina curiously. "Your husband is Naufal?! Naufal Hasibuan?"

"How do you know?!"

Then Tera was like a shadow that no one had ever seen, she was like a person who got lost among the crowds of people now. But, lucky for her, she didn't have to follow the conversation.
