Today. The rain continued to fall heavily like yesterday. Alice who was in her house felt cold at the same time. He was now looking at the rain behind his bedroom window. With a look that saw everything as if it was not okay. Right now, he felt the same feeling as before. Alice kept looking at the window until she finally decided to continue reading her book. Under the echoing sound of the rain, she reads a book entitled "Women's Struggle" in the book, which contains the struggle of a person who never stops in reaching her dreams. During his struggle there is an ambition that makes him continue to be determined for that dream. A few hours later, the rain that was pouring down was getting more and more non-stop. Alice who currently has an afternoon class schedule herself must leave as soon as she finishes reading her book. Alice then got up from her seat and started preparing to leave. After everything was done, he finally went to campus. The heavy rain did not stop him and he now went to the bus stop while wearing an umbrella. Arriving at the bus stop, the bus came and he immediately put it on. Everyone inside looked cold and so did he who was seen wearing a jacket that kept him warm. Alice then sat in the back seat and there were several other people sitting and reading books. Alice occasionally checked her cellphone and found herself feeling depressed for various reasons. Not long after, when their bus made its way to its destination, apparently the rain was accompanied by strong winds and it immediately hampered the journey. Those who looked at the window were also covered. Luckily it didn't last long and now Alice had arrived at her destination. He then entered the campus gate which saw there were also many people who came carrying umbrellas like himself.
Alice continued to walk towards her class and on her way, she saw a familiar person waving her hand at her and the person in question was Theresia. Apparently he came earlier than her and the two of them then went to class together. On her way to class, Theresia had said something to her and it didn't shock Alice at all and she just responded casually. Alice along with Theresia then climbed the stairs to the second floor and not long after, they met Jay by accident. At that time, Theresia was immediately surprised to see the child's face in front of her and not long after that Alice then smiled kindly and they started talking to each other and greeting each other. Theresia, who sensed that there was something strange about the child, then looked at her with a suspicious look. Jay who saw Theresia looking at him like that of course made him feel strange and then just silently looked at the two of them. On the other hand, Alice who saw the interaction between the two of them felt strange and then she started to say something to Jay who was in front of her.
"You just came?" ask Alice
"Not. I'll just go."
"Do you have afternoon class today?"
"Yes. That's right."
"Well, then I'll excuse myself."
"Yes."
Jay then left leaving those who were still there. At this time, he seemed to be in a hurry and then Theresia along with Alice resumed their journey to class. They then entered the classroom and sat next to each other. Not long after, class started. This time at Rona's place. He was at a restaurant with his friend and they started to talk about something. Rona, who had been interested in Marchell, finally got an answer that made her feel the same way as the weather today. Her friend then asked her about what happened and of course Rona was willing to say it. On that day, when he finished his morning class and apparently he met Marchell. Rona felt it was like a fate where the two of them met each other by accident at a cafe. Rona who was ordering coffee then saw Marchell who also ordered the same menu. The two of them were seen chatting for a while until their order arrived. Marchell who purposely sat opposite Rona then made him feel happy in his heart and they started to talk about something. Their conversation lasted quite a while and it made him feel happy even though it was just chatting. Without realizing it, Rona apparently asked for Marchell's cell phone number right in front of her and the two of them have been sending messages to each other since then. In the evening, the happy Rona then received a message from Marchell saying that they would meet him at the same place to do their homework together. He felt it was an omen and then innocently came to the place. it turned out that what he suspected was true. he came alone and they both looked very familiar there.
“You've come, Rona,” Marchell told her with a smile appearing on his face.
"Yes."
"Have you done all your assignments?"
"Of course. But, there's still more that I haven't had time to do that's why I want to do it now."
"I see. Is it difficult?”
"Not. It's still fairly common."
"If something is difficult you can ask me."
"Eh? But we have different majors. It's different, at least I just want to help."
"Yes. Of course."
Rona who listened to Marchell's words then felt happy and they worked there until late at night. When they were going home, apparently Marchell had to go somewhere first so he told Rona to go home first. She unhesitatingly complied and not long after, Rona had arrived at her house and then got a text message from Marchell asking if she had arrived and that made her feel happy. He quickly replied to her messages until he finally drifted into dreamland. So far, Rona had liked him for quite a while and it made him feel a little heaven and made him want to say it as soon as possible. His deep feelings made him feel that all of this had to get what he had hoped for. On the other hand, he is also ready to endure anything that might hurt him. Rona then before falling asleep, she opened an internet forum containing wise people in love relationships. He began to write down what was bothering him and not long after that they immediately replied to the message quickly.
“This is it,” muttered Rona
In the forum, someone suggested that he convey the message to him before it was too late. Apart from that, they also gave the same advice and that made his decision stronger and stronger. aside from what those on the forum have said, several others have also provided support that is even the opposite. They said that it just seemed like a normal friendship and that he shouldn't have high hopes for it. Rona, who felt indecisive, finally started to realize something about her feelings that had been suppressed by her all this time. he began to ponder it all night until he finally got an answer to his decision. Rona began to venture herself and herself when she arrived at campus then after attending class, she then contacted Marchell and it turned out that he did not answer his call because according to one of his friends he was busy with his club. Rona at that time began to be patient and she kept looking for the right time to say it. He had now decided to put it off for a while and would talk about it later when the kid wasn't busy. Rona, who was walking alone, then ran into Adeline, who was a friend of her club. They also greeted each other.
"Rona."
"Oh, Adeline."
"Just be alone. Where's your friend?"
"They are busy. Where do you want to go?”
“I wanted to go to my friend's place. But not so. That's why I decided to just go home."
"Oh. How about we go somewhere?”
"Of course. I also happen to be empty.”
"Okay."
The two of them then left for a place that was none other than a new place to eat that had been a destination for people. There the two of them were chatting and continuing to talk about many things. Rona then began to think about her feelings. and not long after, apparently Adeline realized what she was feeling. she then says something to him and they both are seen chatting again.
"Did something happen?" asked Adeline to Rona
"Not. It is nothing."
"If there's a problem, just tell me. You shouldn't keep all that to yourself."
"You are right. but it's really I'm okay."
"Okay. If that's what you want."
Their conversation continued and began to talk about their hobbies which turned out to be opposites. Not long after, they then returned to their respective homes. At this moment, Adeline felt something was up and it didn't make her feel like she had to interfere in anything. Rona then arrived in front of her house and it turned out that she was still feeling the same pressure as before and she immediately went to her room to just lie down when she was tired. After he arrived, he soon felt frustrated and true to what they said in the forum. However, it was all just a bluff. Not long after that he contacted Marchell and they agreed to come to a place that Rona had previously said. Finally he was happy.
The next day, the two of them met at a cafe near the park. Their meeting is quite interesting for Rona. The two of them were seen spending time together and not long after, he started to say what he wanted to say. Rona bravely tried to express all her feelings to Marchell. At that time, he was surprised by Rona's expression and left him speechless for a long time. Rona with a face that was already reddened then waited for an answer from him. Apparently, Marchell didn't hear what he was saying because he was listening to a song using earphones. Seeing his reaction like that, of course, made Rona feel annoyed and then she went to the toilet. Arriving at the toilet he cursed and was embarrassed by what he had said to that person. some people saw him running to the toilet with a flushed face. In the toilet he kept cursing and often said something that made one of the women who came to the toilet was surprised by what Rona was doing. After his anger had started to subside. Finally he came back from the toilet and then approached Marchell. He sat down again and looked quite worried. Marchell then took him for a short walk in the park. And they both left as soon as possible. Right in the park, it looked quite deserted as some people only gathered a little and the two of them seemed to be there looking at the scenery. Marchell then said something to him.
"Sorry."
"Yes?"
“Please don't say things like that. Do you know? We're just friends. So stop all that."
"What?"
Rona, who heard Marchell's words, then felt hurt because previously it was clear that the person had not listened to what he had said before. However, now it's the opposite. Marchell who then left because he got a call from someone who seemed to be his friend. Rona then felt devastated by what had happened to her and made her pause for a moment. His gaze looks to the ground and he laughs at his pitiful fate. The day seems to have started in the afternoon. The sunset looks beautiful on the eyelids, he is still there and this time sitting on a park bench with a look that still doesn't accept that fact. a few minutes later, it looks like someone is giving him a tissue and that person is none other than Alice Cooper. Rona who saw it then took it and wiped the tears that were rolling down her cheeks. Alice also then sat on the park bench exactly beside him. He started to ask something to Rona who was sad.
"Are you starting to feel better?" Alice asked him.
"Oh, yes. Thanks for the tissue. You are so kind."
"Do not think about it. By the way, did something happen?”
"Not. It is nothing."
"Really?"
"Yes. I'm fine. It's just getting dust in. Oh yeah, what are you doing here?”
"I'm getting some fresh air."
"Oh, I see."
"Are you Ron?"
"Right. thats my name. And besides I often hear all about you from people.”
"Is that true?"
"Of course. They don't think they're always talking about you. Whatever it is and of course it's very annoying. why are you just silent?”
"I do not care. Everything they say about me, I really don't care."
"How could it be? Aren't you hurt at all?"
“Why should I get hurt just because of a few words from them? What's more, to be honest I'm used to it."
"You're great."
"What?"
"Honestly, sometimes I also feel jealous of you who are always kind and even strong against those crazy people. what's your secret is getting used to it?”
"It's not a secret. You also have the right to know it as long as you are strong enough to face what happens in the future. Only that."
"Thank you."
"What for?"
"Because of your kindness. It seems that I no longer harbor envy of you.”
"You are. Can be. Oh yeah, are you going to the bar now?”
"Good idea."
The sun began to change into the dark night. In the evening, the two of them went to a bar where they ordered alcohol and started chatting with each other. Alice who saw Rona drink a lot made her feel understand what she was doing. Previously he saw him crying in the garden alone it was clear that he was not okay. Rona continued to drink it until she started to get drunk and then fell asleep. Alice who saw it like that then she called a taxi and told him to bring it to an address that had been given by Alice. The taxi driver then agreed and started to leave. Alice also immediately left from there and then she arrived in front of her house. The next day, Rona who remembered that she was drunk last night and then came home quite worried made her feel embarrassed. Today he then rushed to campus and not long after class ended he then gathered with his friends at a restaurant and told them everything. Today. Those who listened to what Rona said were then taken aback and they couldn't say any words because of the shock.
"All of you. Please keep all of this a secret, I beg you," said Rona
"What? impossible for you to refuse?”
"God, you're so loud. lower your voice."
"Really? How can you also have the balls to say it?”
“That's because I don't want to go crazy and keep it under wraps. Even though it hurts I think I'm starting to feel relieved."
“Wow, Rona you really are an angel at heart. If I were you, I'd probably be fed up with that person."
"What the angel. I'm just a sucker trying to get better."
"Wait a minute, why did he reject you? Is he on a date?"
"This is a question that makes me curious to be honest Rona you know it?" asked one of his friends who was there with him. they all gathered around 4 people counting with Rona.
"I do not know. And don't want to know."
"Are you crazy?"
"That's precisely why I'm not crazy. For what I remember it's none of my business and again there are many cool guys out there besides him. My opportunities will not run out. It's just a waste of time to keep dealing with him."
“What you said is true. better move on and don't care about that person anymore."
"Maybe he rejected me because I'm not his type so it's not a problem for me."
"Good. This way we don't have to worry."
"Oh yeah, how about we go to the club now?"
"Okay."
In a different place. This time Alice was in front of a cake shop and here she saw one of the shop owner's posts saying that there was a vacancy for a part time job. Alice casually then entered the place and was immediately greeted by the guard. He then said what made him come there and then he was escorted to meet the owner of the shop and immediately conduct an interview. He sat casually while answering some questions asked by the shop owner. Hearing all the answers from him, finally the shop owner will then send a confirmation via email. Alice then left after saying goodbye to the shop owner and then she also said goodbye to the shopkeeper who was none other than a young woman. Now he decided to go to Grace's work and then he was there. Grace, who didn't seem too busy, then met him and asked him something.
"How was the interview? Is it going well?” Grace asked Alice with a curious face.
"Yes. The interview went well. I'm just waiting for the answer in the email."
"Good. Now you have a new job. I'm so happy."
"Thank you. Oh yeah, I also wanted to ask you something.”
"Yes? Just ask."
"How about summer vacation? Do you have a day off?”
"Oh of course. I have three days off. So we can camp during that time.”
"Thank God."
"How about you?"
“I also happen to have no schedule. And for working in that shop, I think I still have to wait for a confirmation email, which is about a long time, what one of the shopkeepers told me was an experience he had when he was still applying for a part-time job before finally getting a permanent job.”
"That's how it turned out. Oh yeah, I've also contacted Theresia and she said the same thing so it looks like it's going to be a really amazing camping.”
"You are right."
The two of them seemed to be busy chatting until it didn't feel like Grace had to go back to work and not long after, Alice then came home from there. He walked towards the bus stop and when he got there, he had to wait a few minutes. While sitting there, Alice saw a woman getting out of a car and her eyes were filled with tears. The woman ran and then she left in a taxi. Alice who saw the incident in front of her eyes felt sad. Because they looked like they were under a lot of pressure and it reminded him of something. The bus he was waiting for then came and he immediately got up from the seat that was there and then he was about to get on the bus, suddenly heard a sound from the left. And it turned out to be Marchell who called him. Alice then didn't get on the bus and then looked at Marchell who was seen running after her. it made his breathing heavy and then they both faced each other. The evening atmosphere that looks beautiful adds to the warmth that occurs in the atmosphere. The two were seen facing each other and soon Marchell approached Alice who was standing there.
