Chapter 17

"It's late, Anggika said goodbye, uncle," Anggika said kindly to Prapto.

"Let Revan deliver, okay?" Prapto asked Anggika.

Anggika then turned her gaze to Revan and saw Revan's normal face. Anggika shook her head in response and she chose to take a taxi home either way.

"I'll just take a taxi, uncle, later I will bother Revan he must be tired after selling around. Thank you for the chat," Anggika said to Prapto, and only then did she walk out of Revan's house and was escorted by Revan to get to the highway to find a taxi.

The two teenagers walked down the alley towards the highway. They were both silent and not chatting like at home. Either it was because Anggika was tired of chatting and laughing with Revan's father or the problem he wanted to ask this morning but he didn't.

About whether Revan likes Rintan to the point that he is not allowed to interfere or defends Revan too much when being bullied by the girl.

The two teenagers arrived at the side of the highway and Revan found a taxi for Anggika. Anggika fell silent and smiled slightly but Revan didn't notice it.

A taxi stopped in front of them and Anggika said goodbye to Revan and Revan just nodded back. After Anggika's introduction and looking for a taxi for Anggika, the teenage boy walked back to his house and immediately started studying.

Revan saw the information on his cellphone that tomorrow there would be a basketball game being held at school. Revan was very enthusiastic and excited to see the big ball game.

Surely in that game, there is a captain of the Brawijaya High School basketball team who is none other than the girlfriend of the girl he likes who also often bullies him.

"If Marklee finds out that I like Rintan, will Marklee turn evil to me?" Revan muttered to himself.

Not only today Revan thought about it the previous day even though he had thought about it for a long time. Marklee is so kind to her and always scolds Rintan if she gets caught bullying her.

Revan could only take a deep breath and return his focus to reading.

The atmosphere was noisy in the cafeteria this morning because today there will be a basketball game on the school basketball court. Many students are now buying food and drinks in the canteen to accompany them to watch a ball game that will be played by the captain of the basketball team who is none other than Rintan's boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Rintan is now in Marklee's class along with the other players who will be playing in a few minutes. As usual, the beautiful girl brought food and drinks for Marklee and accompanied her boyfriend to eat until it was finished.

Not only silent he said and talked occasionally about Revan who he would bully.

"Just once you don't have to make trouble with Revan, can you?" Marklee asked Rintan.

Rintan instead shook his head vigorously in response that he would not stop bullying Revan.

"What's important is that I didn't hurt him, occasionally I just flush it with water, and don't worry, it's not hot water, how come cold water makes him fresher," Rintan replied casually.

"Have you ever splashed him with water?" Marklee asked Rintan.

Rintan nodded her head in response and made Marklee want to scold her now but his position prevented her from scolding his beautiful girl who loved to bully Revan.

"I'll tell you if Revan's position was the same as yours, what would you feel? I just asked that, I won't scold you now," Marklee said to Rintan.

"That won't happen because my life and his life are different," Rintan said to Marklee.

"This is not about material and life. How would you feel if you were Revan being bullied every day?" Marklee asked Rintan.

"I don't know, I've never been bullied," Rintan replied casually.

"Just imagine. You're already big, you have to do bad things with your friends who often help you," said Marklee to Rintan.

"I don't want to imagine," said Rintan casually while drinking the mineral water he gave Marklee.

Marklee feels sorry for Rintan. The teenage boy was over to talk and even scolded to the point of yelling.

But it's useless, Rintan is very difficult to tell because once a beautiful girl doesn't like someone she will make trouble with that person, especially Revan.

The basketball game hour had arrived, Marklee took Rintan's hand and walked towards the basketball court. Many pairs of eyes were watching the two popular couples in high school.

Not infrequently someone shouted at the two teenage couples because they felt very jealous and there were also those who t because the two were very compatible. But when they returned to Rintan's behavior they all became very displeased and wanted to sink the beautiful girl to the bottom of the sea.

Revan and Anggika are now in the audience seats and of course, they are paying attention to Rintan and Marklee who are on the sidelines and sitting together.

Anggika didn't focus on the two couples, she just watched Revan and investigated how the teenage boy's expression when he found out Rintan was with Marklee and became the center of attention of all the students on the basketball court.

Anggika finds the moon's face looks disapproving and she is increasingly convinced that Revan likes Rintan.

"It's really sad for sure, never mind Revan he is evil to you and if you like him it's useless, you will even be harmed by him more," said Anggika to Revan.

Revan who heard things from Anggika immediately turned his gaze to Anggika who was sitting beside him.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand," said Revan to Anggika.

Anggika took a deep breath and smiled at Revan.

"You like she's, Revan? That's the reason you forbade me to scold and teach her a lesson who bullied you," Anggika said to Revan.

Revan was silent for a moment because of Anggika's words. How can this girl know that she likes Rintan? Does anyone know other than Anggika? What if Marklee finds out? That's what's on Revan's mind right now.

"How did you know I like Rintan? I never told you and you were a new kid," said Revan to Anggika.

"Old child there must be someone who knows so I can tell from the look in your eyes and your concern for Rintan. Even more so when you were bullied all out, you just kept quiet plus I wanted to teach Rintan a lesson but you didn't allow it. I know you're a good person, but your attitude towards Rintan can't lie if you like her," Anggika explained at length to Revan.

Revan was silent, finally, someone found out but not Marklee but his new friend Anggika.

"After this, everyone will know and you must be ready. The carcass still smells even though it is hidden,"
