"Do you like something impromptu or what?" Ghina exclaims in annoyance as soon as she opens the door of Adi's black Fortuner which is parked in the yard of her apartment.

Adi grimaced. Earlier he had insisted on picking up Ghina and told her to get ready quickly whatever Gina's situation was at that time. But, maybe bad luck keeps coming to Adi many times today. Ghina turned out to have an event with her friends, between lucky and stumped. Luckily for Ghina, it turns out that she will meet her college friends, or her gang, whom Adi already knows. Luckily, of course, because Adi will meet Ghina's friends. Of course, Adi was a force to come, he was desperate because there was no purpose. His initial goal was to go to Jakarta to meet Tera. But, the girl immediately refused, ah no, Tera did not refuse. But Adi alone doesn't think about the worst. He was too confident that Tera would not refuse him, so without the girl's consent, Adi immediately went to pick her up and ended up pitifully in front of Ghina.

"There will be Dea, you know ... are you sure you want to come?" Gina confirmed once again. She didn't want to be given a silent treatment by that one friend because he brought his nemesis.

Everyone knows how bad the friendship between Dea and Adi is. Adi himself forgot what happened between them. To be sure, since Adi made a stupid decision that made him regret it until this moment, the friendship between Dea and Adi broke up. They are like a cold war that does not know when it will end.

Adi grimaced. "Not really sure," Adi shook his head, disbelieving his own thoughts. "Where should I go if I don't come with you?"

"You have a lot of friends in Jakarta." Gina replied curtly.

"But you're my friend too."

"Who says?"

"UGH. I'm really confused, you know?" Adi cursed. "Where the hell is Tera anyway, I've been leaving since morning to meet her too."

"You know that girl is busy. How about you just go and play without an appointment with that girl first."

"Where is she? It's Saturday, you know! Weekend!"

"Tangerang. I don't know what's going on. She said she'll come later."

"Seriously?" Adi immediately looked up excitedly when he heard Tera would come even though she would be late. It didn't matter that he had to restrain himself as long as he met Ghina's friends, the important thing was that he could meet Tera. Because that was the original goal, right?

Gina nodded approvingly. "Just pick me up. She said she came late."

It's okay to be late than not to come at all and not meet Adi.

"Every time she said she was late, she wasn't playing around. Sometimes she just came when we were paying the bill at the cashier, or sometimes she said goodbye in the parking lot. Worst of all, I've waited for her to pick me up for over an hour."

"What?!" That's crazy! It's called not coming because it's late. But it came because it was forced. Tera seemed to have come because she just remembered that she had an appointment and she had to come.

Gina nodded again. "But, now it seems a bit better. She said, ``The event started in the morning, maybe she will come if it doesn't end in the evening, it's finished Isha."

It's still one in the afternoon. Waiting for Tera to come is still very long. Is the kid busy or really busy? This is crazy. What time does he have to return to Bogor?

"You guys hang out until late night, do you?" Adi asks to break because of a red light.

"Sometimes, if they don't bring children. Okay, look," Ghina confirmed her position. He had to confirm one thing. "Why are you coming to Tera again?"

Adi raises his eyebrows. He didn't expect to get such a question from Gina. The last time he heard the question ended badly.

"I don't know what you mean by chasing Tera again, to this extent. From Bogor to Jakarta it's not close, I salute you in that section. But, if you want to come back with Tera, you've got the wrong address."

"Out of the blue, eh."

Gina chuckled sarcastically. "I know what you mean. Your nature is easy for me to guess." Gina shrugged nonchalantly. "Tera has changed now. You'll know when you try to get close again. But, I'm really sick of your behavior. Run to Tera every time you get heartbroken, then leave when Tera smells your behavior. So, instead of throwing it away- what a waste of time, it's better to stop now."

Ghina saw Adi's movements who seemed unperturbed by his threat. The guy did laugh out loud as if Gina's threat was just a passing wind. That's why Ghina is like a beard now. Are the words not sharp enough for this don Juan?

Tera kept her promise to Ghina who would pick her up at her friends' gathering place. She had seen her other friends gathered in one of their favorite spots near the large glass facing out. This expensive restaurant has indeed become their favorite place since the first time her friends moved to Jakarta. Although it can be said that Tera rarely attends gatherings, in fact rarely.

She could see Kiky laughing without a sense of humor as she approached. There were many empty seats at the table they ordered, leaving Ardi, Kiky, Ghina, and also Adi. Looks like her female friends are praying.

"Hi, hi, hi ..." Tera immediately greeted when she arrived in front of her friends. She took a seat next to Kiky who was frowning at her. "I haven't seen my best fans in a long time."

"Wow, what a surprise-surprise, you came in on time." Ardi greeted Tera, a smirk then emerged from his thin lips. "Because there is Adi, huh?"

Ardi exclaimed happily. He then pointed his camera at Tera who looked a little surprised before smiling faintly.

"Why didn't you tell me there was that funky boy here?" Tera whispered to Kiky who shook her head in concern to see her friends.

"You're wearing clothes like that, aren't you cold?" Kiky whispered back. He took off his coat and put it on Tera's shoulder.

Tera looked at her current clothes. She had long hair that she had tied carelessly, with a white tank top with thin straps, and black cloth pants, as well as his flagship Prada boots. There's nothing wrong with her clothes today. She had put the blazer she was wearing in the car because today the weather was quite hot, so she preferred to take off his blazer. So if you look at it, Tera is quite perfect.

Instead of having a long argument because Kiky doesn't like Tera's open clothes and Tera prefers simple clothes. Tera chose to show her teeth and turned to Ardi who was still busy talking in front of the camera.

"Ardi," Tera called Ardi. "Have you made a duet with Rans yet?"

Ardi immediately turned off the camera. Tera really likes to tease him because he is the one who becomes a YouTuber. Not only Tera indeed, Ghina was equally annoying. However, she was more annoyed with Tera because she would rather make fun of him than tease him.

"Or with Nihonggo Mantappu?" Tera raised her eyebrows. "If you duet with them ... beuh!" Tera gave a thumbs up and waved her hands like a fighter plane flying fast. "Your subscribers must immediately go up to 100 million."

Ghina finally laughed out loud, she even gave a thumbs up to Tera. Adi who heard it couldn't help but laugh too. In contrast, Kiky, who already understood her friends' pranks, just laughed a little and took another sip of her hot chocolate.

"Eh, but Jessica Jane will also make you famous too. She has a lot of subscribers, too." Tera again teased Ardi who just laughed even though in his heart he cursed at Tera. "You just choose, let Ghina schedule it. So and so she has a lot of channels."

"That's right," Ghina replied to Tera's temptation. "Or Fadil Jaidi? It's easy, Di, just choose."

When Ardi was about to reply to Tera and Ghina's words, the other friends came scattered. Sitting in their respective chairs immediately became chaotic again because of the small talk they created.

"Umm sir," Tera called the waitress who happened to be passing by her table. "Can I have one piece of roast duck, two packs of capjae, one kwetiau, and four rice. I'll take it home."

The waiter took notes on every order that Tera explained carefully.

"Anything else, ma'am?" asked the waiter when he finished taking notes.

"That's all," Tera closed her menu book and returned it to the waiter again. "I'll take it home, ya? I asked for a little more of the chilly oil."

The waiter nodded, then again repeated Tera's order and left when he felt Tera's order was correct.

Her friends were ready to go home because it was a little late for the parents to play. It felt like Tera had just arrived and was enjoying her fun day off when suddenly her friends left one by one.

Tera hugged Tisa tightly. "Take care of the motorbike." Her message before pulling the girl's hood slowly made her shriek in surprise before hitting Tera's arm in annoyance.

Tisa, Tera's friend, was the only one who still brought her motorbike when she was already a head chef at a five-star hotel. She said, since she's too small to drive a car, it's not like she's driving a car. And again, motorbikes are more practical than cars when the city of Jakarta is hit by traffic jams, so Tisa prefers motorbikes to cars.

"You always smell good." Tisa waved at Tera, who chuckled softly because of Tisa's disjointed speech. Then Tera waved her hand.

"Where have you been? It's kinda late." Anne approached Tera when she had packed her things.

"There's an event in Tangerang. How about Ica? How come you didn't bring her here?"

"She's with her father. I want to spend time being a young person again. No more kids for the day."

"Duh!" Tera put her hand in Kiky's coat pocket. "I adopted Ica's then. If I was her mother, I would have been take her everywhere."

"Well," Anne poked her bag. "It's late. I'll go back home, Ica fusses when I run away for a long time. Bye!"

Tera waved briefly after telling her to be careful. All that's left is Kiky, Ghina, and Adi who are busy on their respective cell phones. Tera sighed tiredly, she leaned her body against the back of the chair and closed her eyes for a moment.

This floating feeling always managed to frighten her. She seemed to have flown high and saw the beautiful scenery below, and fell down quickly. The joy and lightness she felt today ended in nothingness after one by one her friends came home.

"Why?"

Kiky's voice managed to make Tera open her eyes. She looked around, Adi and Ghina who were originally playing with their cell phones then stopped their activities and focused their attention on Tera.

Tera, who was being looked at like that for a moment, blinked her eyes, in order to get rid of her nervousness.

Then Tera shook her head. "Nothing. Why haven't you gone home yet? Mr. Yono hasn't come yet?"

Yono is Kiky's personal driver. Kiky can't drive a car, as the men do. Just like Tisa, Kiky can't even drive his car at all. The man likes automotive and collects quite a lot of expensive cars because he is indeed the highest heir to the throne of his family company.

"He's here. I'm waiting for your order to be finished and then we'll go to the parking lot together."

"I have Ghina. You go back to the hotel first. I'm not alone, really."

Kiky only frowned at Tera's words. He felt awkward.

Kiky doesn't live in Jakarta like the rest of his friends, he goes to Jakarta because he has important company matters. That's why they met today because Kiky was in Jakarta.

"No, let's go together."

Adi looked at the two young men in turn. "Just go back first, Bro. It seems someone is taking care of it."

Kiky looked at Adi with sharply narrowed eyes. He was confused that Adi was suddenly in their midst. It's just that, it felt disrespectful if he protested. The man had a bad past with his friends, seeing Adi who suddenly came made his heart hot and irritated.
