Chapter 3

"He's cold, but warm. He's rough, but gentle. He's ... Hard to tell,"

Alyssa Alexandra.

**

It was already 20.00 WIB and Alysa was still with Dirgan. The food they ate had run out but neither of them asked when they were coming home.

"You Director!"

"You go first, I have other business. Your motorbike is still in front of the show, and you can go there yourself, right?" said the Director.

The girl had not said that she would ask when she would return but again the man had already answered the questions that had not been asked.

"Y-Yes sis, thanks for today. I'll say goodbye first," Alysa replied stiffly.

Alysa immediately went to the front of the show to pick up her motorbike. Actually the girl was afraid to walk alone at night, but she was also too reluctant to ask Dirgan for help. He continued to walk a little faster to get his motorbike and go home.

But when the girl arrived in front of the show, it turned out that the front gate had been locked and there were no guards there. All the workers have probably gone home.

Alyssa :

Sis, the show has been locked, my motorbike is still inside.

There was no response from the message that the girl sent, she was forced to order an online motorcycle taxi to go home because if she had to wait for a reply from Dirgan it might be getting late and it was also impossible for her to walk home.

It took about 15 minutes for the girl to arrive at her house, but unexpectedly in front of her house there was already Raka who seemed to be waiting. But do not know why he came, because there is no chat that the man will be home.

"Sa, where have you been?" Asked Raka worried.

"I had business with Dirgan."

"Then where is he? Didn't take you home?" Ask Raka.

"Dirgan, I still have other business, my motorbike was locked at the show so I took an online motorcycle taxi to go home. Oh yes, Raka himself, what are you doing here?" Answered Alysa asked.

"Euum it's okay Sa, you just take a rest. I'm going home," reply Raka.

24 September 2020

The day has changed, the sunlight accompanies the beautiful girl's morning. He went to school on foot while his motorbike was still at the show maybe about 10 minutes he got to his school.

Today is the day he has been waiting for, yes today is his 18th birthday. He happily welcomed the day of his birth, congratulatory greetings filled whatsapp messages on his cellphone.

Now he is now in the school corridor, he continues to walk while smiling a very sweet smile. However, Karin, Alysa's best friend, suddenly surprised the girl.

"Sa, Raka Sa Raka!" Karin said in a worried tone.

"What's wrong Rin? Raka why?" The girl replied with a worried tone as well.

"Come with me now!"

Without further ado, Karin immediately took the girl to the back of the school. Alysa was surprised when she saw Raka and Dirgan fighting in front of her eyes. It didn't take long for the girl to stop the fight.

"Raka, Dirgan!" Call Alysa.

The girl approached the two men who were now silent in front of her, "What are you doing?" None of them answered his question.

"I'll ask you two again, what were you two doing? What made you two fight like that!"

Now Dirgan open voice, "Ask your boy!" Dirgan immediately left Alysa, Karin and Raka.

"Ka Raka, what is this?" asked the girl again.

"Sorry Sa, I'm just annoyed with Dirgan who was not responsible for you yesterday," Raka replied, looking down embarrassed.

"I'm fine, and I don't have to fight. I didn't think you could fight with Dirgan because of that," Alysa said calming Raka.

"Sorry Sa ..." Raka whispered.

"Rin, I ask you to help clean Raka's wound and treat it too, I want to meet Ka Dirgan first." Karin agreed to Alysa's request.

Alysa immediately left Raka and Karin and immediately looked for Dirgan's whereabouts. It turned out that the man was in his class room in class 12 IPS 1.

"You Director!"

Knowing the presence of the girl in front of the class, the man immediately approached Alysa.

"Why?"

"Sorry for Raka." Alysa said in a normal tone.

"Okay,"

Only that word came out of Dirgan's mouth, there was no further word the man immediately turned around to enter his classroom again. But the girl called the boy back which made the boy not come to class.

"Dirgan, just a moment,"

"What?"

"Last night ... Umm not so," the girl did not continue her speech, she immediately left Dirgan's class.

"Your motorbike is parked," the girl stopped.

"I pushed your motorbike to school, I also followed you at night because I just remembered that the show must have been locked. I also saw Raka at your house. And I, I'm not free from responsibility. You can check if your motorbike is parked or not. Lo You don't need to know how I can take your motorbike to school," the girl turned her body to face Dirgan.

"And one more thing, my cellphone died last night," after the man explained what had happened, he went straight to his class.

On the other hand, there are people who spread bad rumors about the love triangle between Alysa, Raka and Dirgan. The whole day the girl was at school, almost all the 12th graders looked at her like hate speech. Even heard in Alysa's ears not a few who sneered at her.

"Look at that girl who makes Raka go bad," whispered one of the students.

"In fact, Raka has never had a fight with someone from the start, where did he get punched?"

"Oh, that girl that Dirgan and Raka took over?"

"That's what is always the overall winner, it turns out that he's not only good at studying but he's also good at fighting people off,"

The girl's heart ached to hear the sneers and insults that came out of their mouths, but this time what she could do was that it was clear that they were fighting about her.

Ka Raka:

I want to say, I'll be waiting at the cafe near your house at 7 pm.

The message from Raka was ignored by the girl, she still felt bad about what happened this morning at school. Even though so far Alysa has never been involved in any conflict at school, but when this news spread, Alysa's name became very bad in the eyes of most students.

Feelings of shame, anger, disappointment still swirled in his heart, especially since today was his birthday. What is expected today will go beautifully in fact the opposite.

Now the girl is in Curug Parigi, Bekasi area, the distance she has traveled is about an hour or more. For him the place to calm his mind is to see the water, he often goes to Curug when there is a problem that befell him when the girl can't outsmart him.

"I always wished that water would always be calm, but I also forgot that water can be dangerous if we can't control it," he muttered.

He had been there for about 2 hours, silently lamenting the water, no action except playing water with his little hands.

Human Haven't Heart :

Go home.

The girl was confused when there was a message like that from Dirgan, where was he? How could he know that Alysa wasn't home yet. Again the man made Alysa curious.

The man's demeanor was a little cold, a moment warm. Sometimes annoying, sometimes caring. The first time he met him he was very bad but now why does his attitude seem like it could change 180 degrees in a certain time.

The ringing of the phone snapped her out of her thoughts. It turned out to be Karin, her best friend. He ordered the girl to meet Raka, actually Alysa is still lazy to discuss anything now, but if the problem continues to be delayed, how will she go through the next event? If only he and Raka were not in a good relationship.

It's true that you should be professional, but sometimes your heart can't be controlled what you want.

"Huh ... So this is how it feels like a lot of problems? Even though the problems are not that many, but it feels really burdensome," Alysa complained.
