"I told you, didn't I... Ricky is crazy, Lam! He's crazy!" Arya said while holding my two shaking shoulders.

I hugged myself because for some reason, this cold feeling rose and began to sting all over the surface of my skin to my bone marrow. I'm scared... and this is the first time I've ever felt so afraid of someone.

@@@

"So... how about your group study earlier? Smooth?" asked Aunt Rosi. We are currently in the shop. And Aunt Rosi's question managed to surprise me.

Fluent? In fact... we didn't have time to study earlier. There's only... Genta and Lala who learn to date and Ricky who learns about? I exhaled, looking at the cracked screen of my phone. Until this moment Ricky has not contacted me, even... his bag and books are still at home. Is he angry? Or disappointed in me?

I shouldn't have done that.

I should be able to control myself more and not be afraid of him. I shouldn't have made him think he was alone. If I did that, wouldn't I be just like everyone else? Staying away from Ricky just because he's afraid of him?

I'm stupid.

"Nilam!"

"Yes, Tan?"

"How was the group study?"
