32

After talking with Nanta. Rania left the field and looked for Jeffrey in the medical room. However, Jeffrey was not there, maybe he was in the bathroom. Rania decided to look for ice cubes first in the cafeteria and then return to the health room. Rania was sure Jeffrey would be there because as far as Rania knew, Jeffrey was often there. Moreover, he had to treat her nose that was bleeding.
After getting ice cubes, Rania returned to the health room. Rania entered and saw that Jeffrey was indeed there.
Rania tapped the edge of the table, signaling Jeffrey to excuse him.
"Excuse me, Jeffrey." Rania said while approaching.
Jeffrey only glanced at Rania and returned to concentrating on his nose wound.
"Ya, what's wrong Rania? Your boyfriend allowed you to help me?" Asked Jeffrey a little sarcastically.
Rania chose not to answer and chose to take a small clean towel that was indeed in the desk drawer. She wrapped the ice cubes she took from the cafeteria earlier and gave the towel to Jeffrey.
"Here for your nose compress."
Jeffrey looked at Rania and the towel in her hand in turn. And then took the towel which was then compressed on his nose.
"How is your nose?"
"It's okay. It's not broken."
"It's good that it's not that bad. Has the bleeding stopped?" Rania asked.
"It's safe. Isn't your boyfriend angry that you're here?"
"Angry. Angry for sure. But someone asked me for help, especially since I know you. So... there was a little negotiation earlier." Rania explained.
"He's just become a boyfriend, already managing you. And you Rania, don't be too proud to be Ananta's girlfriend. He likes to change girlfriends and doesn't hesitate to snatch people's girlfriends." Jeffrey said annoyed.
Fortunately, Rania already understood the situation and what Jeffrey meant. Rania was a little more able to think about answering that statement.
"Sorry, Jeff, I don't understand what problems have happened to you and Ananta. But for sure I have nothing to do with it. And again, if you want to solve a problem, try to find the root of the problem and get used to hearing the reasons from both sides. So--"
"What did Ananta tell you? You should know, Rania, that Ananta has already taken my girlfriend, Geyara."
"Jeff, how can you say it was a snatch? If you were still dating, why did Geyara accept Nanta? That means the blame is not only on Nanta, but also on Geyara. Why would she accept Nanta if you and Geyara were still dating?"
"Huh... you're Ananta's girlfriend now. You will definitely defend your boyfriend."
"I'm not defending Ananta. But if you think that, Geyara should have done the same to you. If Geyara thinks you're her boyfriend, she should be defending you more."
"Don't bring me up."
Geyara suddenly entered the medical room because she heard her name being called out. 
"You know what?" Geyara asked while pushing Rania's body.
Rania was silent and did not reply.
"Don't you need to be so pretentious, just because you're Ananta's girl, now you're so arrogant? You're just a poor person who used all your luck and got a scholarship to study here."
Rania had never gotten along with Geyara. Geyara was beautiful, but she was haughty, arrogant and too selfish. Rania really kept her distance from people like Geyara.
Rania took a breath and dared to defend herself. Rania didn't want to fight because she didn't want a scene. But Rania also didn't want to be bullied so she tried to defend herself as much as she could.
"No need to use insults, right? I'm not demonizing you. Jeffrey said you were his girlfriend but you still accepted Nanta when he approached you."
"Yeah, what does that have to do with you?" Geyara pointed at Rania's forehead and pushed her a little. "You must be happy to be Ananta's girlfriend, right? Who wouldn't be happy to be his girlfriend, Ananta is handsome, smart, rich."
Rania pushed Geyara's hand away from her face. "But Jeffrey is your boyfriend."
"He's not my boyfriend now. It was just a fling."
"Geyara!" Jeffrey shrieked.
"What?" Geyara asked defiantly.
"So you never considered me before? And what people said when Ananta approached you, you said you were single is true?" Jeffrey asked.
"Yes, Ananta approached me. If I said I already had a boyfriend, he wouldn't want to be with me."
"You crazy, crazy girl. I really believed you, when you said Ananta forced you to be his girl."
Rania finally watched Jeffrey and Geyara who were still arguing. Neither of them wanted to lose and also blamed each other.
Until finally Geyara looked fed up and chose to leave from there. Jeffrey looked very disappointed. He did not expect that the woman he had been defending and trusting would let him down.
"I really didn't expect Geyara to be like that." Jeffrey regretted.
"Well, the important thing is that you know the truth. Sorry for rushing you earlier, Jeffrey." Rania said.
"Rania!" Called Nanta who had just entered the medical room and immediately approached Rania and Jeffrey.
"Come on, don't stay too long." Nanta invited.
"Ananta, sorry in advance. I want to apologize about everything. About our problems because of Geyara and in the field. I really intended to make you jealous, because I'm still upset about you taking Geyara from me. From that time until now, I've believed that you took Geyara. I don't know why Geyara accepted you in the first place. Yes, the point is that I was too in love with Geyara. But because of Rania, I know the truth." 
"No problem, I'm also sorry about the basketball that hit your nose until it bled. I didn't mean to, but I did have a little intention. Honestly, I was jealous that you kept looking at Rania." 
Nanta's honesty made Jeffrey laugh.
"Yes, sorry again." Jeffrey said.
"But is your nose okay? If it's bad or broken I'll take responsibility." Nanta looked at Jeffrey's nose which was no longer bleeding, but was red in the middle of Jeffrey's nose.
"It's okay, the bleeding has stopped. Rania also brought ice cubes, that's really useful. Thanks Rania."
"You're welcome." Rania replied.
"If there are no more problems, I'll go first with Rania." Nanta said.
"Come on, baby, let's go get a cold drink." Nanta said to Rania.
"There you go. Oh hey, who won in the end?" Jeffrey asked before Nanta and Rania left the room.
"Definitely my class." Nanta said proudly. "I'll leave first."
"Okay."
"Bye Jeffrey. Get your nose better soon."
"Yes, thanks for the ice Rania. Oh yeah Ananta. Let me know if you've broken up with Rania." Jeffrey continued.
"Are you looking for another fight or what?"
"Let's go to the cafeteria to get a cold drink." Rania said while pulling Nanta.
Rania and Nanta went to the canteen where their friends were waiting.
"You really didn't do anything, right?"
"No, Nana. It's just that there was a bit of a commotion."
"What happened?"
"There was Geyara too."
Rania then recounted the incident earlier in the health room when there was only her, Jeffrey and Geyara. Also recounting the incident where Rania was cursed at by Geyara who did not accept that she was mentioned. Rania told this story in front of her other friends too. Because they were now resting together.
"You did that? My girlfriend is really cool."
"Yes, cool Rania, now you're bolder. Try the old Rania..geez.." Nindi said.
"I'm friends with you guys, that's why I had the courage to do that."
"Anyway, my girlfriend is really cool." Nanta said while hugging Rania.
Rania, embarrassed, immediately tried to break away from Nanta.
"Nana geez, shame, it's in the cafeteria. It's a mess."
"Who will complain?"
"It's me. I'm embarrassed to be seen."
"Uh but Rania also now dares to call Nanta by his affectionate name in front of us." Reyyan said.
"Wow, that's right. One more progress from Rania. Uuhhh... My dear Nana." Lucas teased.
"That's enough... you guys are really happy." Reply Rania who is still embarrassed.
That was the excitement of Rania and her friends every time they gathered. There was just something that made Rania the butt of their jokes. But over time Rania got used to it. And Rania also felt that she became much braver than before.
Maybe Rania will tell something that she has been keeping to herself. Rania has started to fully trust her friends. So Rania also doesn't want anything to be hidden. Who knows one day Rania needs the help of her friends. Sometimes there is something that cannot be solved alone and requires help from trusted people.
