20

A week has passed since Dicky's accident, after attending school for a day Dicky never came to school again. Several representatives from class 1.c have come to visit his house, including Andrew, Ronal, Mimi and Nila. Viona herself refused to come because on the same day she was scheduled to take a number and Technical Meeting for a piano competition that she would participate in this weekend. 
The day after that, Dicky's group of friends started to make an agreement to come visit Dicky after they got home from school. They had prepared various souvenirs starting from fruit parcels, snacks, and fried foods that would accompany them while they were there so as not to burden and bother the host. 
Viona who initially wanted to come finally canceled her intention to go because it coincided with the schedule for the selection of dancers who would participate in the cultural week held by her province.
Even though she really wanted to visit her classmate. Moreover, it was certain that Dewa would also come. Viona had imagined being alone with Dewa throughout the journey home and going to Dicky's house with Dewa. But that image immediately disappeared, the girl's face turned gloomy after a notification from her studio's WA group announced that the dancer selection would be held today. 
While waiting for the bus at the school gate with Gita, Gita suddenly pulled Viona's hand and pointed across the street, where Dewa was standing there. Because the direction of Dicky's house was in the opposite direction to Viona's destination. 
"Not coming?" Dewa asked from a distance which regretfully Viona had to shake her head in response to Dewa's question. A disappointed expression appeared on Dewa's face when he heard Viona's refusal. Even though the man really wanted Viona to come so that they could become closer and be alone during the journey home and there. However, a shake of the head from Viona ended Dewa's hopes without him knowing that Viona herself also felt the same way, she also really wanted to come so that she could be with Dewa. 
"Why didn't you come?" Gita asked later when she saw Dewa and the group who were going to Dicky's place had already boarded the bus. 
"I can't, I have to go to the studio today, there's a selection for dancers who will perform at the cultural week held in three months." Viona said very weakly.
Gita exhaled roughly and raised one eyebrow. "Too bad, this is a good opportunity for you guys to get closer, but what can you do, you can't leave your activities." Gita said, making Viona even more miserable. 
From the opposite direction, an empty bus was seen stopping right in front of the group that was going to Dicky's house. The group that was leaving was quite large, making all the seats on the bus full, even some were still standing. 
Viona continued to stare at the bus leaving, the bus that was carrying her Dewa. The man who had recently disturbed her peace of mind, the man who made her excited and even incredibly jealous. 
"Don't keep looking at him, we'll meet tomorrow. If it's meant to be, it won't go anywhere." Gita said while rubbing her best friend's back. 
"But there's Alya, what if he gets close to Alya again? I'm just afraid that they'll get close again and then get back together. I'm afraid Dewa will be defeated by his past and memories with Alya." Viona said softly. 
"From now on, show that you also like Dewa, don't be shy... Don't be embarrassed. After all, Dewa also likes you, you both like each other, you're not unrequited." Gita said trying to advise Viona but her best friend just kept quiet biting her lip.
"Let's go back." Gita then pulled Viona's body to approach a bus that had just stopped in front of her. Their route this time was different, if usually Viona, Gita, Sari and the others got off together at the Khayangan intersection, this time Viona separated and continued her destination to the market with the same bus before having to continue by taking a public transportation to get to the front of the studio. 
"Viona..." A voice was heard calling Viona from behind, making the girl turn her body to see who was calling her. 
"Are you alone? Where are you going?" He added again, who turned out to be Agung, Viona's course friend. 
"Yes, I'm going to the studio, where are you going?" Viona asked with a thin smile on her face. 
"Yes, I'm alone, I want to be accompanied rather than walking alone, right? " Agung offered to accompany Viona but was immediately politely rejected by Viona. 
"No need Gung, it's close anyway I had an appointment with a friend earlier." Viona refused who then immediately shouted when she saw Sarah not far from her. 
"Sar..." Viona shouted calling her friend. 
"I'll go first Gung." She added again then ran away leaving Agung who was still staring at her. 
Viona herself already felt that Agung had unusual feelings for her, not wanting to be considered as giving too much hope that's why Viona chose to keep her distance from Agung. So that the man could understand and comprehend without having to ask if Viona didn't have the same feelings for him. 
"Who were you with earlier?" Sarah asked when Viona was walking side by side with him.
With Agung, he's a friend from your English course." Viona replied casually. 
"I think he likes you, he's still looking at you until now." Sarah lifted her chin slightly and pointed it towards where Agung was still standing and looking at Viona. 
"Just let him be." Viona walked ahead of Sarah. 
"You don't like him? Not bad, it's not too disappointing...." Sarah continued to comment on her assessment of Agung. 
"Or do you have a crush on a guy?" Sarah looked at Viona half-investigatingly. 
"Really?" Sarah added again when she saw Viona was silent. 
"Well, it's true, who?" Sarah became even more curious even though Viona hadn't said a word. 
"School friend," Viona answered finally. 
"Wow, finally, the ice caps are starting to melt, someone can win Viona's heart." Sarah asked excitedly. 
"I want to see his photo." Sarah urged Viona again to show the face of the guy who now adorns her friend's heart. 
Viona finally took out her cellphone and looked for Dewa's photo in her cellphone gallery. 
"Wow, this is far, I missed the guy ten corners ago, no wonder you don't want to be with him if the one you like is this handsome. So are you guys dating yet?" Sarah asked again, this time with great enthusiasm. 
"Not yet." Viona shook her head slowly. 
"I don't know if we can be together or not, there are lots of people who like him." She added again. 
"But does he like you?"
"I like him... But there are many girls who approach him. Every time I want to talk to him, there are always obstacles. Just now, I was supposed to go see a friend who had an accident with him but it ended up being canceled because we were told to meet today." Viona explained. 
"If it's not unrequited, just go ahead... Don't be shy... Love must be fought for. Rather than regretting it if someone else steals it. But first make sure he also has the same feelings for you so that when you start to aggressively approach him, he won't be too shy." Sarah said at length giving advice to Viona, afraid that her friend would be traumatized because the first time she fell in love, she was immediately heartbroken if the man she had a crush on was stolen by another girl.
