41. Misunderstanding

"Sorry for not telling you..."

"Actually.. I already know."

Arka is shocked, he can't believe that Dhian actually knows about Dara and Felix's relationship. It must hurt to know something like that, but Dhian seems calmer than most broken hearted people.

Arka gently ruffled Dhian's hair, the girl was so strong that she could hold it alone. It seems Arka needs to learn many things with Dhian, asking how Dhian can be this strong.

"What's the key that made you hold it all this time?"

"It..."

"Aa.. one more thing, I want to know your reason for rejecting Mr. Felix."

Dhian looked down. "Actually.. that.. Arka, I can't tell you."

"Why?" asked Arka confused.

"Mr. Felix is ​​now with Dara, they were together when I rejected him, right."

"So..."

"I already knew this was going to happen."

"But it is not possible..."

"I know, but there's no such perfect human in the world..." Dhian whispered.

"How did you manage to do it?"

"Do what?"

"Hold on, you can. While I vent it by smoking, I really can't handle this fact. I've liked Dara for a long time, she's even like a part of my life."

"Arka..."

"Teach me how to survive..."

Dhian gasped when she saw Arka's eyes glistening, the man looked so fragile. This was different from when Satria told her, Dhian couldn't see how fragile Arka was right now.

Arka suddenly hid his face on Dhian's shoulder, he was embarrassed that someone saw him like this. But the man was relieved that only Dhian saw him, seeing how vulnerable he was at the moment.

"Dhian?"

Dhian turned around in surprise, the girl saw Calvin staring at her in disbelief. The reason is because Arka can be seen hugging Dhian when seen from behind Arka, Calvin's eyes widen at the closeness of Dhian and Arka so that without realizing it the man just walked away.

Arka kept his body away from Dhian. "What was that just now? I think I heard Calvin's voice?"

Dhian shook her head. "It is nothing..."

Arka stood up then Arka stretched out his hand towards Dhian to help the girl stand up, they finally returned to class together. Arka no longer skips classes and goes out to smoke, he wants to be strong like Dhian who can survive in situations like this.

Meanwhile, in Calvin's class, the man sits in his chair with no attention to the lesson. The man kept remembering the incident just now, where he thought Arka was hugging Dhian. For some reason Calvin didn't like that, he didn't like it when Arka got too close to Dhian.

The man's mind was racing, Calvin kept trying to get rid of the image of Arka and Dhian who were together on the stairs where he used to talk to Dhian. Not willing to see things like that before, Calvin felt that this was different from when he was worried about Dara and Felix's relationship.

Until suddenly the image of Dhian who always accompanies him and even when Dhian smiles at him crosses Calvin's mind, Calvin's eyes widen, it seems like he is really crazy because he thinks about things that don't make sense.

But everything is clear with the shadows on Dhian's face, how shocked he was when he saw Arka with Dhian. Calvin doesn't know where it all started, but Calvin remembers every time Dhian accompanies him without complaining.

"Impossible..."

"What's impossible, Mr. Calvin?"

Calvin was surprised when the subject teacher in his class suddenly asked him questions, the whole class laughed at Calvin because the teacher caught him thinking about other things in the middle of class.

"Excuse me, sir. I seem sleepy, may I take a moment to go to the toilet to wash my face?"

"Please, as long as you don't interfere with my teaching activities."

He nodded. "Okay sir."

Calvin got up and he immediately left the classroom, the man went to the toilet to wash his face in frustration. He doesn't know how to get rid of the shadows about Dhian that haunt him.

"This can't be, right?"

"Satria-"

"Hey, short!"

"Who are you calling?"

"You, then who else?" asked Satria jokingly.

Olivia lowered her head, the girl felt strange when she saw Satria mocking other girls besides herself. Satria looks happy when he laughs because of another girl, Olivia even feels jealous to see him.

"Here you are, Satria!"

"What? You won't be able to catch up with me, short Tiffany."

"D*mn it! You'll regret your words, Sat!"

Satria laughed out loud when he saw Tiffany who was chasing after him in annoyance and when Tiffany was chasing Satria, the girl accidentally bumped into Olivia's shoulder. Tiffany stopped her steps, glared at Olivia

"Oliv, are you all right?" asked Dhian worried.

Tiffany put her hands on her hips. "Hey, don't you see that wide road beside you? You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Olivia glared. "What did you say?! You're the one who accidentally bumped into me!"

"Heh! What the hell, hey..." Tiffany pushed Olivia's shoulder. "Weren't you watching us all this time? How come you didn't see me running around you?"

Satria who saw the situation between Olivia and Tiffany began to heat up approached Tiffany, the man put his arm around Tiffany's shoulders and dragged her to go with him.

"Heh! What are you doing?! I'm still talking to her!"

"Come on, don't make the problem bigger."

"What?! She started it!"

Satria snorted and flicked Tiffany's forehead. "Just leave it."

"Awh..! It hurts! What an annoying man!"

"Am I being too annoying? How about I treat you to a meal at the canteen?"

Tiffany's eyes immediately lit up. "Wow.. it turns out that Satria is a very good man huh~"

"You little girl..."

"You're the one who offered me, how could I refuse."

"Yeah, yeah..."

"Oliv?"

"Could it be because he's in love huh?" Olivia asked muttering.

"Eh?"

Olivia looked sadly. "That's funny, if he did I wouldn't want to bless them."

"Dhian."

"Oh? Arka?"

"To the canteen?"

Dhian nodded. "Come on, Olivia."

Olivia shook her head and she entered her class with unsteady steps, Dhian who saw her looked sad. Meanwhile, Arka, who didn't know anything, looked at Olivia and Dhian alternately with confusion.

"What is wrong with her?"

"That.. I'll tell you later, let's go to the canteen first."

Arka just nodded in response, the two of them went to the canteen together and took a seat at the same table as Calvin and his other friends.

"Finally we are complete again with the addition of Dhian," said Niel who saw Arka and Dhian coming to them.

Calvin turned to look directly into Dhian's eyes, Dhian returned Calvin's gaze and the man immediately looked away. Dhian looked down to see Calvin's reaction, she then remembered during the first break earlier, it made them feel awkward again.

"Calvin, can you move a bit so Dhian can sit beside you?"

"Eh?"
