"What's wrong with Taera?" asked Ardilo, was curious why Kaino suddenly wanted to talk about Taera.

Kaino looked nervous. Between wanting to say something and not. He wanted to say that he also loved Taera, but he wanted to confirm Ardilo's feelings first.

"Do you love her?" asked Kaino back.

Ardilo nodded without hesitation.

"Really?" asked Kaino again.

"Yes, I love her," replied Ardilo without hesitation.

Kaino could see Ardilo's seriousness. He wanted to be honest that he also loved Taera. But for some reason, he couldn't say it.

"So, what's wrong?" asked Ardilo.

Kaino was silent for a moment.

"It's okay. I'm just asking. Okay, I'll go first," said Kaino, then left in front of Ardilo.

Ardilo was confused by Kaino's attitude. "What's wrong with this kid?" mumbled Ardilo.

Taera went to the SEB secretariat of the Faculty of Economics. Today she had a department meeting, and Belinda told her to wait at the SEB secretariat of the Faculty of Economics. There were only Dino and Yola. At first, Taera didn't want to go in, she wanted to avoid Yola, but Yola called her instead.

"Taera? Come in here. Do you have a meeting?" asked Yola kindly.

"Yes, Sis," replied Taera then entered the SEB secret.

"Sis, I'll buy food first," said Dino.

"Oh yes. Will you come here again?" Yola asked Dino.

"Yes. I need a moment with Putra. After that, I'll come here again. Yola, do you want to buy something? Does Taera want to eat or not?" asked Dino.

"I've eaten, Din," replied Taera.

"Okay, Yola?" asked Dino.

"I'm still full," said Yola.

"Okay. Later, when Putra comes here, tell me to wait for a moment," said Dino.

"Okay," said Yola.

Dino then went out to buy food, and at the SEB secret was Taera and Yola. Taera is a little awkward. Especially after the gathering, Taera had mixed feelings about Yola and Ardilo.

"Tae, can I ask you something?" asked Yola suddenly.

"What are you asking about?" Taera thought. She was nervous. What if she asked about Ardilo.

"Are you close to Ardilo?" asked Yola.

"Hmm, how about that," Taera didn't know what to say. Wanting to say yes, she doubted that Yola was ever closer to Ardilo than she was. I want to say no, but they're pretty close.

"He seems to like you," said Yola, suddenly.

Taera is shocked. Is Ardilo's attitude too obvious that he likes Taera? Taera finally just smiled. She didn't know what to say.

"He's a good boy," said Yola.

"Yes, sis," said Taera. She didn't know what Yola meant by saying that.

Does Yola want to show that she knows Ardilo well? Taera suddenly became angry. She felt that jealousy coming again. Just then Belinda came. Then Erlita, Koko, and Gaga also came. Finally, Belinda chatted with Yola while waiting for the other members. Suddenly Taera became angry. But as much as possible, she tried to look normal.

Saturday night, Taera finally went to the restaurant with Ardilo. Taera looks a bit tired, but she's trying to be normal. Unfortunately, Ardilo is too sensitive to Taera's feelings.

"You look like you're feeling sick. Why? Is there a problem?" asked Ardilo as they walked towards the restaurant.

"Nope. It's okay," Taera replied, then sat down and started looking at the menu.

Ardilo watched her for a moment. While Taera was busy choosing the food and drink menu. "Why do I feel like something is wrong?" said Ardilo.

Taera was silent and started ordering food. Because there was no answer, Ardilo then also ordered food.

"Why? Because of Yola?" asked Ardilo.

The shocked Taera just blinked her eyes. I don't know why Ardilo suddenly became so sensitive to her feelings.

"You must be angry because I'm close to Yola, right?" asked Ardilo.

Taera was silent. Taera's heart wanted to scream yes, yes, and yes.

Ardilo smiled a little. "Yola and I are close, but we're just friends. Nothing more," said Ardilo.

Tara was still silent.

"We've known each other since the student welcome party period. It turns out that we are classmates and are often in a group. I learned a lot about the organization from her. She is cool. In our second year of college, she became the secretary of the SEB. But Yola and I are just good friends. After all, Yola already has a boyfriend, really," said Ardilo.

"Yola already has a boyfriend?" Taera repeated in surprise.

Ardilo nodded. "She's been dating Hendo from 2nd semester until now. Hendo is a student from the Faculty of Medicine. He's about to graduate," said Ardilo.

Taera is a little relieved now. It turned out that Yola and Ardilo were only close as friends and what was more comforting was that Yola already had a boyfriend. There's no way Yola will snatch Ardilo from Taera. She was very relieved.

"Yola told me that you looked like you were jealous. She apologized because maybe she and I were too close, so it made you angry," said Ardilo.

"Ah... I don't think so," Taera said.

"It's okay. From your gathering time, seem to stay away from me," said Ardilo.

Tae smiled. Ardilo was happy to see Taera's smile again.

"But Kaino said that you are close to Yola," said Taera.

"That's because Kaino often sees me chatting with Yola. The problem is that we also talk about organization or college assignments. We often go out together, but even then with the others. Sometimes Hendo also joins. It's just that Kaino doesn't know," explained Ardilo.

"So, Kaino misunderstood, huh?" Taera asked.

"Apparently," Ardilo replied.

Taera nodded.

"You're not angry now, are you?" asked Ardilo.

Taera just smiled.

"Thank you. For explaining everything," said Taera.

Ardilo nodded.

"Oh yeah, this is for you," said Taera, handing over a package with beautiful black and white wrapping paper.

"What is this?" asked Ardilo.

"At that time, I wanted to give a gift for you when you were elected as the head of the SEB, but I forgot to give it," Taera replied.

Ardilo opened the gift then he saw a daily planner book. Ardilo was happy to receive it.

"I think the book can help you write your schedule, especially if you're busy. Yes, even though I know you must have good time management, I don't think there's anything wrong with that," said Taera.

Ardilo smiled. He was so happy. "Thank you, Tae," said Ardilo sincerely.

"You're welcome. And for the answer to your question at that time..." said Taera.

"Yes?" asked Ardilo.

He was nervous. Finally, Taera will answer his feelings.

"I..." Taera said, but she stopped because her handphone vibrated.

Taera looked at her phone screen. There's a call from Kaino.
