Reihan is explaining in front of the class while Ulfi is whispering to Melsa. "Are you fighting again with Alex?"

Melsa turned to the friend who sat beside her. "Yes." The answer is short.

"Because of Becca?"

This time, Melsa nodded and pursed her lips because she was annoyed at being reminded of the incident.

"After going to gloryness, let's go?" Ulfi doesn't seem to give up.

"What do you want to do? Today Alex comes in, fi. " That is a sign that Melsa must go home with her lover.

"Important, Kia told to gather. Don't you read it in the Squidward group? "

The woman shook her head. "I didn't have to read this morning, I was late."

"Melsa." Call someone to interrupt Melsa and Ulfi's discussion.

"Are you smart so you think don't want to pay attention to me while explaining in front of the class?"

"Eh, er .." Melsa was surprised because Rei admonished her. "Sorry, Sir." Then the woman straightened up looked forward and watched Rei who continued to scribble on the blackboard.

Melsa doesn't know the man is explaining which part, thanks to Ulfi.

Ninety minutes passed and Reihan tidied up his stationery, while Melsa was getting ready to leave the classroom. "Melsa." Call the man in front of all the students.

"Yes, Sir?" Melsa stopped, followed by Ulfi behind him.

"You come with me to my office."

"Alone sir?"

"Yes, you didn't pay attention to me earlier."

"But earlier ..." Melsa wanted to say that Ulfi invited him to chat first, but the woman was already elbowed by Ulfi. "Yes, Mel, there. I'll be waiting at the cafe, bye! ” Ulfi ran away leaving Melsa alone for fear of joining in the law.

Damn really that one friend, Melsa thought, sighing.

She trailed behind Reihan to the man's room. It turned out that the man was temporarily occupying Mr. Rudi's room. Mr. Rudi has a private room in the most corner, Melsa remembers because she once submitted an assignment to his room first.

Rei closed the door behind him after Melsa entered.

"Rei, Ulfi started first, not me."

"I know, I'm just looking for reasons so I can chat with you."

"What?"

"Sorry, after all you are so hard to talk to."

"What do you want to chat about?"

"Can't be here, want to meet me outside campus?" the man bargained.

"Honestly, now I have difficulty Rei if I go anywhere other than to campus."

"You have to get permission from your boyfriend?" guessed Rei.

Melsa nodded because she felt uncomfortable and embarrassed because she seemed to be controlled by her lover.

"Just once, Mel. I just want to explain something to you. "

"Can't you explain everything to me now?"

The man shook his head, "I have class in five minutes."

"Then I'll see you later, Rei."

The boy couldn't force any further, he had no more rights. "Okay, please call me later."

The woman nodded and went out of the man's room following her friends who were waiting at the cafe in front of the campus where they usually gathered before entering the next course.

Melsa's eyes looks for the whereabouts of her three friends. Ulfi waved from the sofa at the far left corner.

"What are you doing with a handsome lecturer?" asked Ulfi with a chuckle.

"You so dead, fi."

"Sorry , okay? but if he can get one, why should both of us be punished. Right?"

"Yes, you should be the one who got it, not me, it was you who invited me to talk first."

"Are you punished for talking to Mel?" asked Ifa, who already knew the story from Ulfi earlier.

"No, Mr. Rei is just advising me." Melsa was clearly lying.

"Oooh, that's fine too."

"He is handsome anyway, Fa." Said Ulfi.

Reihan is indeed handsome, even though he has a different kind of look from Alex. But the man's face was enough to make a student majoring in Melsa fall in love with him.

"What gossip you guys have, how come it seems very important." Melsa asked Ifa and Kia.

Ifa glanced at Kia who was also staring at her. "Eat first, Mel, I'm hungry." Kilah Ifa.

Melsa has finished with her chicken cordon bleu, and her three friends have finished their plates.

"Just watch out if your gossip is on nuts, eating here will blow me up."

"Euh, actually I don't feel comfortable talking about this." Kia opened her voice, "but I feel even worse if I close my eyes and pretend I don't know anything about this."

"What is it?" said Melsa and Ulfi together because they saw the strange behavior of Kia and Ifa, who had not started this important rumor.

Ifa took out the cellphone and placed it in the middle of the table for everyone to see. "I got this video from my classmate's instastory, Dafi."

Then her finger pressed the play button and a video was played on the screen box.

A man was filming himself holding a liquor bottle, but that was not what they all were concerned about. But two lovebirds caught on camera behind him. Even without a closer look, Melsa could tell who they were.

The man is sitting with his hands holding a glass and a woman wearing a tight red dress leans on the man's chest a few seconds before the video ends, the woman kisses the man on the lips.

"In your case no clue who the girl is, I have another video of it." Kia shifted Ifa's cellphone screen, showing a photo of a woman in red with a birthday cake in her hand. That's Becca. With two women who Melsa didn't know.

"Damn, boy." Ulfi blurted out annoyed.

Melsa didn't know what to react, her eyes were almost shaking with tears but her disappointment was bigger than her sadness.

“Sorry Mel, I have no intention of destroying your relationship. But I don't want to close my eyes seeing this too. "

"You're right, Ki. You should have told me if there was news like this so I wouldn't feel stupid myself. "

Ifa stroked Melsa's arm to calm her friend because she was worried that her tears would scatter there. “Don't cry, Mel. I swear he's not that valuable for you to cry. "

Melsa gritted her teeth to refrain from crying. "No, Fa. Just calm down."

Her three friends started talking about other topics to break the ice but Melsa couldn't participate in the conversation because her brain was busy thinking.

Finally he gave up, picked up his cell phone and typed something on the screen.

'Rei, today after you finish teaching. Can we meet?'

"Yes, I'll be out in an hour."
