STAY AWAY

"You are still sick, Babe, don't be angry .. I will not double up on you. I'm sorry if I made you angry and jealous. I will not do it again." said Danish feeling guilty to Ponco.

"I'm sick here Danish, I need you dear. Why don't you understand too." said Ponco in a low voice.

"Yes ... I'm sorry, tomorrow after I teach I'm going to your apartment all day. How? Do you like it?" Danish asked trying to persuade her lover's heart.

"Stay away from Ayraa dear, I'm jealous." said Ponco in a sad tone.

"Yes .. I'll stay away from him. You're not angry anymore, right?" asked Danish with a complicated heart.

"Promise me Danish, don't just say it without promises." said Ponco in a spoiled tone.

"Yes, I promise you Babe. I'll stay away from Ayraa, are you happy now?" Danish asked with a very heavy heart to stay away from Ayraa.

"Quite happy to hear your promise, I do not want to part with you Danish. You know only you who I love." said Ponco earnestly.

"Yes, Babe, I know that." said Danish feeling sorry for Ponco, who used to be his best friend, and for some reason when he saw Ponco suffer because he had a disorder, Danish wanted to help him so that Ponco was not isolated and now he himself could not escape Poncho dependence on him. Because Ponco would commit suicide if he left him.

In the past, Danish almost ever dared to leave Poncho and it was true, in front of him Ponco committed suicide by swallowing all the sleeping pills he had.

"Honey, you still listen to me right?" Ponco asked in a sighing voice.

"Yes ... I still hear you Babe. It's been late. Go to sleep." said Danish wanting to end the conversation because his heart was getting restless thinking about Ayraa.

"Okay, I'll wait for tomorrow yes dear." said Ponco with a disappointed heart. Danish didn't usually respond with a sigh.

"Okay Babe ... luv you Babe, have a nice dream." said Danish as he closed the call.

After hanging up her call Ponco, Danish looks at Ayraa's status message. there is a status that Ayraa made there "I'm in love '

Danish's heart pinched even more.

"Ayraa in love? In love with who? Is it with Chello or some other guy?" Danish asked himself.

He saw the clock had shown one night.

Without being able to stem the curiosity in his heart, Danish commented on Ayraa's status.

"In love with a cute girl?" Danish asked, beating his heart, wanting to know what was in Ayraa's heart.

For a long time, Danish waited for Ayraa's reply until it was two in the evening, then Ayraa received a reply.

"I fell in love with you Danish." Ayraa replied curtly.

Danish's two eyes did not blink at Ayraa's reply.

"Is that true Ayraa, you're kidding right?" Danish asked with a pounding heart.

No answer from Ayraa made Danish impatient and returned to contact Ayraa.

"Ayraa ... is that true? Are you in love with me?" asked Danish seriously.

"Yes Danish, I fell in love with you. And this is the first time I fell in love at first sight." Ayraa replied with a pounding heart.

"I also fell in love with you Ayraa, since we first met on the circuit." said Danish could not deny his feelings.

"Is that really Danish?" Ayraa asked in disbelief that her love was not unrequited.

"That's right Ayra ... I'm not lying. You are very different Ayraa." said Danish could no longer cover up his feelings.

"But Danish, weren't you mad at me just now? When I told you about Chello?" Ayraa asked, still curious about Danish who suddenly ended the conversation.

"I was a little jealous Ayraa, I'm sorry, OK?" said Danish feeling guilty.

"Jealous of Chello? But, why are you jealous? Aren't we lovers?" Ayraa asked, not understanding.

"Ayraa, you fell in love with me right?" asked Danish seriously.

"Yes." Ayraa replied, still not understanding.

"And I fell in love with you, you already know that right?" said Danish with a pounding heart to express his feelings.

"Yes ... then ..." Ayraa replied, increasingly not understanding.

"So, I want to ... we be lovers, but only the two of us know." said Danish earnestly.

"Is it Danish? Are we lovers? Do you want to be my boyfriend?" Ayraa asked, still not believing that Danish could accept her love and now made her a boyfriend.

"Yes ... I'm your girlfriend cute girl." said Danish with a smile.

"But Danish .. why should we only know?" Ayraa asked, not understanding.

"Because I am your substitute lecturer Ayraa, I have to keep my good name there." said Danish not wanting Ponco to know his relationship with Ayraa.

"All right Danish, if that's what you want." Ayraa said, feeling no objection because she also didn't want Chello to know about it rather than later reporting it to her father.

"Alright Ayraa, tomorrow don't forget to fill out the training application form. If you are in my company, I will teach you myself." said Danish impatiently wanting to be alone with Ayraa.

"Yes Danish..I am ready." Ayraa said excitedly.

Danish chuckled.

"Alright ... now you're sleeping, it's about morning. Sweet dreams." said Danish with a relieved heart to close the call.

Just as Danish hung up on his call, a message came in from Ponco.

"You really have betrayed me Danish, I know you just called Ayraa right? Right Danish! Remember Danish if you are still close to Ayraa, don't blame me if I myself will tell Ayraa about us!" said Ponco in the message.

Danish's hands trembled after reading the message from Ponco. In fact, Ponco was so desperate that he dared to threaten him.

"Be patient Babe, you have the wrong idea ... I have nothing with Ayraa. Tomorrow we meet after I come home from work. You don't think too much of you that you're still sick." said Danish in reply to Ponco's message with feelings starting to hesitate about his feelings.

For two years he was in a good relationship with Ponco, and during that time Danish never loved anyone but Ponco and now? after meeting Ayraa, why are there doubts in his heart? there was such a great feeling for Ayraa.

"Listen Danish, you are only mine and I am yours. We will not be separated forever until our deaths." said Ponco in his last message.

Danish stopped replying to messages from Ponco and simply put his cell phone on the table.

While waiting for morning, Danish lay down and remembered all the conversations between himself and Ayraa. Danish smiled.

"Do I really like you Ayraa?" Danish asked silently, closing his eyes so he could forget about Ayraa for a moment.

***

"Ayraa ... what? I've seen you always smile? Is your heart happy?" asked Chello walking beside Ayraa to the classroom.

"What, Chell, do you want to know?" Ayraa said with a smile.

"You're not just like usual." said Chello still observing Ayraa's face, which looked happy.

"Chello, have you ever been in love?" Ayraa asked with a full gaze.

Chello frowned at Ayraa's question.

"What's the question like that? Come on ... tell me?" Chello asked, hugging Ayraa's shoulder attentively as Danish came from the right and saw Ayraa and Chello's intimacy.

Ayraa smiled and nodded her head greeting Danish but Danish looked away as if he didn't know.

Ayraa's face flushed red with embarrassment seeing Danish's attitude as if she didn't know him and nothing happened about last night.

"Ayraa ... what's wrong? Your face looks like you've just seen a ghost?" Chello asked, even more surprised by Ayraa's sudden change of attitude.

"It's okay, what did you answer about my question earlier?" Ayraa asked, trying to act casual rather than Chello suspiciously.

"What? I haven't answered your question either." said Chello while ruffling Ayraa's hair.

Danish, who was already going to the class, still saw the sight, he felt a pain in his heart.

"Chello, wait for me to come home. I want to buy a cake for Mother." Ayraa said just remembering getting a message from her father to buy a cake for Nikita's birthday surprise.

"Okay, beautiful princess." said Chello while giving his book to Ayraa who was about to enter the class.

With a heavy heart, Ayraa enters the classroom where Danish's class time is now.

Without looking at Danish, Ayraa took the back seat. Anna, a close friend of Ayraa, immediately moved to the back and sat close to Ayraa.

"Ayraa .. don't you usually sit back?" asked Anna in a whisper.

"It's okay, I'm just not feeling well." Ayraa said, glancing at Danish who was staring at her.

"Listen everyone, today I will give you the task of training for a month at a company in this city. Here are ten well-known company names, you can freely choose them and your training time is only four hours per day for one month. After that you guys write a paper about the company. " Danish explained at length about his job description.

"Do we make it in groups, sir?" asked Anna while glancing at Ayraa who didn't pay attention to what Danish said.

"Of course in groups, you can form five people per group. Please ... now the representatives of the group can come here to choose which company you will choose." said Danish while looking at all his students, especially at Ayraa, whom he had seen from earlier not paying attention.

"Ayraa, are you there? Choose a company that you think is good." said Anna seriously.

"Just you, Anna, I'm not feeling well now." Ayraa said without looking around him.

Danish observes Ayraa's face from her place. There is a feeling of homesickness and pain seeing Ayraa who also doesn't care about her.

"Mr. Danish, what if the company that Mr. Danish thinks is good for the five of us?" asked Anna who was forced to take the name of the company she would choose for her group.

"You're in the same group with Ayraa, right?" asked Danish seriously.

"Yes sir, right." answered Anna honestly.
