085604xxxx : You must be thinking about me. Can't sleep can you?

Skala: Sorry. But who is this? (Reply Skala)

085604xxxxx : You forgot the most handsome guy in Indonesia, even though we just met this afternoon when you forgot. ; )

"The most handsome in Indonesia? Who?" muttered Skala confused. The girl stared at the ceiling of her room thinking about who the man she was currently exchanging messages with was. "Binar! Gosh, he's actually chatting with me," he shouted when he realized that this new number belonged to Binar. The girl got up from her bed annoyed.

Skala : Uh, Binar! This is the last time I chat with you, 'NEVER CHAT OR CALL ME AGAIN' because I will never reply to messages or answer calls from you. This is a warning, not a request! You know!

Skala typed the message with passionate emotions, then sent it and after that immediately put her cellphone on the nightstand without reading the chat reply from Binar or even the call from the young man which had been the umpteenth time since the warning message that Skala sent earlier. Because of his irritation with Binar's annoying attitude, Skala even named the man on his phone contact with the name "don't answer".

The Skala goes hand in hand with Sava, who has entered school today. The girl told Sava about yesterday's incident, how annoying Binar's behavior was in the cafeteria yesterday.

"Just be patient, La. Don't worry about being disturbed by Binar, a child from birth can only annoy people," advised Sava.

"My life is so unlucky, Sav," said Skala.

"Well, how come you don't reply to chats or pick up the phone from me, even though I have a bonus chat with the phone. It's scorched," said Binar who suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

"It's not a big deal, lo! Call when there's a bonus," said Sava jutek.

"Oh, Beib. You don't have to be jealous, I'll call you tonight," he teased teasing Sava.

"Don't worry, I'll reject a call from you. Let's go, La, to class!" curtly Sava then pulled Skala and Perdi's arms from in front of Binar.

"Sav, don't be a jerk! If I can't move on, what will happen?" shouted Binar loudly. The man then laughed after getting a sharp glare from Sava.

Skala was getting irritated with Binar's nature. The man's behavior was getting more and more insane. Like all day, that crazy guy was following Skala while at school. Making the girl repeatedly expand her chest and say istigfar.

"Really, why do you really like to bother me. We haven't had school here for a month, but I'm already like your mortal enemy. If I made a mistake, I'm sorry, Nar. Stop bothering me," begged Skala, tired of distraction from Binar today.

"I don't want to stop," said Binar casually.

"Then tell me, the reason why Lo is like this? If the reason makes sense, I'm willing to bother you," said Skala making an offer. At least she would think about Binar's answer before he ruined her day.

"I have no excuse." Binar shook his head innocently. "It's nice to be able to bother you, it can make you feel bad. At least there is one other reason that can make me feel at home living." Binar said that with a big smile.

After saying that, Binar walked away. Leaving Skala in her silence alone. The last sentence from Binar's mouth bothered his mind, flicked his heart for some reason.

A reason to stay alive.

From afar, Binar smiled faintly, "Maybe Lo is one of the reasons, La. Why my boring life has become more alive," he whispered softly.

Tsk, you're really desperate. Until you ask for my help, which in fact is your ex.
