Lets Go Ride

2 hours before ...

"How come Karan is here, don't you have a shift tonight?" Alisya is surprised to see Karan who should still be in the hospital because of his night shift.

"I came here when I heard Karin, fell unconscious from exhaustion." Karan tries to answer softly with all the busyness he is facing.

"Karin fainted? When? Why I don't know! Then, where is she now?" She attacks Karan with a question whose face looks very worried.

"sHe's fine Sya, just tired!" Karan caresses Alisya's head to calm her down.

"Karin passed out when you picked up the equipment in class." Rinto helps Karan explain.

"He is now at the UKS," added Yogi who had not finished his sentence. Alisya was already leaving.

"Am I the only one who feels that two women are like lovers who love very much?" Yogi whispered to Rinto with two large trays full in his hands.

Karan smiles at Yogi's words and looks at Alisya's back who runs away. For Karan, the affection between Alisya and Karin goes far beyond friendship. They are like twins who love and love each other more than anyone else. Alisya, who has no siblings, already thinks of Karin as her sister. Because of that, Karan treats both of them the same. Although sometimes he is a little confused by his feelings for Alisya, slowly there is a tingling tremor in his heart.

Karan's smile made many visitors to the stand flush red and blushed because they were stunned by Karan's good looks. Besides, Rinto and Yogi are not classified as ordinary in terms of faces. The three of them have their charm for everyone who sees them.

Alisya, who arrived at the UKS which was quite far from their stand, immediately entered. The UKS used by schools is different from the UKS provided by schools for visiting visitors, so the room is a bit quiet and empty. There, only Karin was seen lying pale accompanied by Arni's mother.

"How is it Mom?" she was half-whispered.

"sHe's fine Sya! Just exhausted. She took on a lot of activities for the sake of his responsibilities as class president. It seems that apart from being exhausted, she fainted because she hadn't eaten all day. What's more, the current temperature was so hot that it was easy for people to do it. dehydration, "explained Mrs. Arni, telling of Karin's condition.

Alisya remembers very well that Karin has to go back and forth between reviewing sports activities, art, and also their stand. She also doesn't pay attention to Karin, because she is both busy and Alisya also eats irregularly like Karin. However, Alisya was already used to the extreme conditions she felt. In contrast to Karin, who has always been accustomed to being spoiled by her parents and Karan.

"Oh, are you here?" Beni comes with a dust cleaning kit with steam technology.

"Ummm" Alisya answered casually while caressing Karin's pale face. Fatigue is very visible from the look on his face.

"How is Karin's condition?" Gina entered in a hurry.

"Nothing to worry about. What's the matter?" Mrs. Arni was confused by Gina's expression.

"Karin has to be a class representative as the Queen of the school, what do you do? Everything is ready again." Gina was confused about what to do, after seeing Karin lying limp.

"Well, Karin can't come," replied Alisya casually.

"Are you crazy?! Our class can be penalized. Reduction in points will be obtained by all students, for classes who do not participate in the activities held." Beni glanced at Alisya. He was surprised by what was said by Alisya, whose sharp glance made Beni in return, immediately cupped her hands to apologize for her first words.

"Then what? Karin is still sick," said Alisya again.

"Just like this. Alisya, you replace Karin to become a school representative," asked Arni's mother softly.

"But mom, I ..." Alisya tried to refuse.

"Come on, I don't see Karin trying her best for the sake of us all? Karin will be more helpful if you're willing to replace her," Gina persuaded.

"That way, she can rest more," added Beni more gently than before.

Alisya felt bad about Karin, who had to take part in everything, to prevent her from getting involved in school activities that would require her to face many people. But because of that, Karin finally fell exhausted. Alisya thought that maybe she should be able to help Karin as well, at least just to stand on the stage. Even if you had to face hundreds of people, it would be better than forcing Karin's condition.

"Mrs. Arni will stay here to look after Karin until she wakes up, so you don't have to worry about her condition," said Ms. Arni to calm Alisya.

"Alright mom," replied Alisya resignedly.

"Alright, let's go now! We have a little time left for you to decorate," Gina asked quickly.

"But wait a minute. Alisya, you're Adith's partner, so you have to pair her." Beni held back Alisya and Gina's footsteps while remembering Alisya's partner.

"I haven't seen Adith in the last few days, nor has she picked up my calls." He said awkwardly.

"Hmmm ... No problem, Riyan can be your partner because you have to replace the sick Karin," said Gina after thinking hard.

"Then, I will go to Ms. Wina to ask for a certificate, so that Alisya can be joined to replace Karin," Beni explained firmly.

"Okay, please hurry up before the show starts," said Gina while holding Alisya, and ran to the dressing room.

"never give up!" Ms. Arni gave support to Alisya, who was rewarded with a waving hand and a sweet smile from Gina and Alisya.

She is dressed as naturally as possible so that they can exude an inner beauty, which from the start doesn't need any polish because Alisya's face is already charming. Her jet-black hair was left hanging down beautifully with a few braids forming from her left and right temples, wrapping it behind her loose hair. The front of her hair hangs thinly and her bangs are also wavy thin, decorating her blush white face.

Her red lips are chapped, just a little moisturizer is enough, while her black eyebrows are not touched at all. Her dress is cream-colored and wrapped in the embroidery of black butterflies that fly on top of white roses, adding to the beauty of Alisya. Gina, who had done her makeup from the start, didn't stop being stunned by Alisya's beauty.

"Where did this dress come from? The flowers and butterflies on the dress did not spoil the color of the dress, instead, it added to the beauty of the wearer," said Yana who entered and was stunned by the beauty of Alisya.

"I also don't know. Someone sent her in earlier and said that this dress will be worn by Alisya," said Gina, still stunned.

"Hey, it's Alisya's turn to go up. Come on out," Gani reminded her, but then stopped because she was stunned by Alisya's beauty.

She shyly walked out of the dressing room and tried to hide her nervousness.

"Where's Riyan?" Alisya doesn't see Riyan backstage.

"He was waiting for you here. Where is he? I'll look for him first." Gani panics because he finds Riyan, not in her place.

Behind the slightly dim stage, the committee reminded Alisya that she should go up now. If not, he will be disqualified. However, Gani, who hasn't returned, makes Alisya even more upset. It was hard for him to stand alone on a stage with a thousand eyes staring at him.

"I didn't find Riyan anywhere!" Gani comes back to breathless.

"So what about it? How come it's Riyan!" Gina scolded irritably.

"Well, it's okay. Let me just go up by myself," replied Alisya, calming her friends.

"Are you sure, Sya?" Yana is worried about Alisya.

"If I resign, our class can get a penalty, right? What else have you guys bothered to dress me up like this." Smile Alisya, while stepping steadily standing under the stage ready to go up.

When her name was mentioned by the committee to immediately go up, Alisya felt her blood rush and made her head twitch a little. She felt as if his previous belief was slowly fading away, but she couldn't back down either. The tools in her ears were not functioning properly. Her nervousness made her steps wobbled backward and suddenly a warm hand grabbed her waist from behind as if holding her back from falling.

"Adith ???!" Alisya was shocked when she saw Adith who was standing beside her, ready to wear a black coat that matched her dress.

"Come on up," he said, taking Alisya's hand, then hooked it on her arm and led her to go up to the stage.
